Printed in United States of America DEDICATION Dedicated to My Parents John Gustine Courson and Sarah Frances Boydstun By their Daughter Gustine Courson Weaver The Wife of Dr. Clifford Selden Weaver

ANCESTRY Once I saw mountains angry And ranged in battle-front, Against them stood a little man; Aye, he was no bigger than my finger. I laughed, and spoke to one near me, "Will he prevail?" "Surely," replied this other; "His grandfathers beat them many times." Then did I see much virtue in grandfathers, At least, for this little man Who stood against the mountains. Stephen Crane.

FOREWORD The descendants of Augustine Jean and wife, Elizabeth Browne, number into the thousands. They are scattered over the entire world, and in both the male and female lines are represented in many of the professional and other walks of life. In Pennsylvania they are represented in the female line in tl;te Hamilton, Snowden, and Green families. George Wilmot Gustin, portrait and landscape painter, of Pennsyl­ vania, collected much of the history in all its branches, from the .first emigrant, Augustine Jean, to his· own generation. These notes he compiled were given as a love gift to the writer of this book by his sister, Mrs. Coe Durland. Captain Joseph H. Gustin was a graduate of West Point. As a retired army officer, he also took much interest in col­ lecting data of our family. His wife was Lillian Morgan, a daughter of E. D. N. Morgan, at one time Secretary of the Wyoming Territory. To complete a list of eminent descendants would be an impossible task. For a long period of years, the author of this volume and I have taken exquisite delight in the accumulation of the data which now is to be put into permanent form as a historic vol­ ume. From our notes, I glean names of some outstanding men and women who should be mentioned. No doubt, should all who richly deserve a place on these pages be mentioned, we should find a list of many hundreds of illustrious Ameri­ can men and women. The following names, however, are worthy of transcrip­ tion: Dr. Lemuel Gustine. Dr. Lemuel Gustine's daughter, Sarah, married Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, who was the first minister of the Paxton Presbyteria:n Church, 1793-1796. This church was the first church erected in the vicinity VII of what is now Harrisburg, Pa. It was attended by John Harris, for whom Harrisburg is named. It was the Mother Church gf "The Market Square Church," situated in what is now the very heart of the city. It is thus the mother of all the Presbyterian churches of th~ city of Harrisburg. Dr. Snowden's picture hangs in The First_ Presbyterian Church today at this place. Thus Sarah Gustine Snowden was the First Minister's Wife of this historic church. Dr. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden was a, graduate of Princeton College where his ancestor, Rev. Samuel Finley, S. T. D., had servvd as President, 1761-1766. Two of President Finley's sons were original members of the Society of Cincinnati, having been officers in the Con­ tinental Army. Samuel Finley Breese Morse was a descendant also of President Finley, as well as the famous Dr. Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence, whose son, Rich­ ard, was Minister to England at one time. - Four of Dr. Snowden's brothers were also Ministers; an­ other brother, Charles, married Frances, daughter of General Malcolm, thus becoming connected with the Schuylers, Ham­ iltons, and Livingston families. Another eminent representative of the family was Hon. Theodore Fritz Randolph, Governor of New Jersey at one time, as well as a Senator from that state. Also, "Fighting Natt," or_ Nathaniel Fritz Randolph of Revolutionary fame who was presented a sword of honor by the Legislature. of New Jersey. Complete data of these illustrious families would also include the allied families of the Herherts, Fairfaxes, Wash­ ingtons, and Randolphs, as well as May Flower descent through the noted family of the second Governor of Plymouth Colony, Edward Winslow. One of Reverend and Mrs. Snowden's sons was the Hon­ orable James Ross Snowden, prominent in his day in -Penn­ sylvania Governmental affairs. He was at one time Speaker of the House of Representatives and Treasurer of Pennsyl- VIII vania, Director of the Philadelphia Mint, and U. S. Minister

to Greece. Their other four sons s all became prominent physicians. Mary Parker Gustine Snowden, the daughter of Sarah Gustine and Reverend Nathaniel R. Snowden, became the wife of James Thompson, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania. Major General George R. Snowden and A. Louden Snowden, U. S. Minister to Greece and since to Spain, are also among Sarah Gustine's descendants. The picture of Premier Marshall or "MonLeMarchall de France" hangs in The Louvre, in Paris. He was one of the outstanding members of the Gustine Family. The picture of Col. Edward Gustine in regimental uni­ form hangs in the Washington, D. C. Library-Col: Edward Gustine was an aide-de-camp to General George Washington at one time during the Revolutionary War. There was also Reverend E. H. Snowden, who died at ninety-four years of age. He was a minister at Forty Fort, Penn. Hon. Edward Gustin, Keene, N. H., was in the State Senate in 1819. Rev. C. C. Gustine, Potter, New York. According to the Artists of The 19th Century, written by Clement Hutton, we also :find another illustrious descendant of our family, described, as follows: "Edwin Sheffield Bartholomew, horn in Colchester, Conn., July 8, 1822, died in Naples, Italy, May 2, 1858. He was buried at the latter place. He was the eldest of seven children of Abial Lord Bartholomew and Sarah-a daughter of Walter and Anna Grant Gustin. He was in The Life School of The National Academy of Ne~.,. York for a year, then went to Italy, settling in Rome, where, with an exceptional visit to America, hie professional life was spent. Among his works are "Blind Homer Led By His Dog," "Eve," "Sappho," "Campagna," "Shepherd Boy," "Genius .of Painting,'' "Youth," "Old Age," "Evening Star," "Eve Repentant,'' "Washing­ ton,'' and "Flora." A large collection of his figures and busts are to be found in the Wadsworth Gallery in Hartford, Conn., of which institution he was Curator before taking up his European residency." (See Chap­ ter 9 of this book, under "Thomas."). IX Mention should also he made of Mrs. Sarah Dewick, who left us her valuable lineage from John S. Gustin and wife Sarah McComb. The Rev. Alpheus Gustin of Virginia was the progenitor of an illustrious line. Among his numerous descendants might be mentioned Virginia Huelings Smith who is on the stage as this book is being compiled, in Shakespearian plays with Mrs. Fiske and Otis Skinner. Dr. Joel Gustine was of Revolutionary fame. He was at the Battle of Bunker Hill, among his other activities during the period of the war. He subsequently lived in Winchester, Virginia. He married a first cousin of General George Wash­ ington, Ann Taylor Green, who was of the illustrious Green family of Culpepper, Va. Dr. Gustine settled in Georgetown ( now- Washington, D. C.) where he was one of the original incorporators of The Medical Society of Washington, D. C. Full history of this man may he found in the text of the book. There were also at least fifty patriots of our family who served in various capacities in the Revolutionary War. Paul Morgan Gustin, the son of Captain Joseph H. Gus­ tin and wife, Lillian Morgan, was one of the 150 leading American artists chosen to be members of the Painters and Sculptors Association which controls the Grand Central Gal­ leries in New York, where his work is to be found on exhibi­ tion. In 1925 some of his pictures were displayed in The Salon in Paris. His paintings of the great Northwest of the U.S. A. are well known throughout America, his mural paint­ ings being considered of great value by Washingtonians among whom he spent much of his life. · The author of this book is, in a unique way, serving those of her generation, and I believe the readers of these pages would be glad to know of her contribution among the other descendants herein tabulated. Gustine Courson Weaver is the wife of Dr. Clifford Sel­ den Weaver. For years, they were missionaries to Japan. She is mentioned, at some length, in "The First Families of America," a compendium of American Genealogy, being de- X scended, through her father, John Gustine Courson, from the Huguenot, ancestor, Peter Courson, who settled in New Am­ sterdam in 1611, and, through her mother (Sarah Frances Boydstun) a member of The Society of Mayflower Descend­ ents. She has been for some years a writer of children's stor­ ies and a story teller of some note. She told stories at the country home of Mrs. Helen Gould Sheperd, Lyndhurst-on­ Hudson, at one time. For a number of years during her sum­ mer vacations she was Supervisor of Children's Entertain­ ment at Battle Creek Michigan Sanitarium. She recently has been President of The Council of Mini­ ster's Wives of The Disciples of Christ ( 5000 women affiliated) and was for two years editor of a weekly page in a religious magazine for this group of outstanding women. She is the author of a number of books including a genealogy of "The Boydstun Family," her Mother's lineage, which has been placed in over two hundred historical and other libraries in the prominent centers in America. In addi­ tion to this book she has written the following books which have found places in the hearts of a large number of people, "The House That A Jap Built," (a book for children) "Hop­ Run" a book of historical pageants, (Hop-Run being the name of the original church in Ohio where the Gustine's settled), "Our Guest," and a book written especially for Ministers Wives everywhere called "The Minister's Wife," "The Line­ age of Eoline Frances Howard" and "Canticles of A Mini­ ster's Wife." Her husband, Dr. Clifford Selden Weaver, is . an outstanding man among those of his denomination. He is President of The Board of Managers of The United Christian Missionary Society which consists of six missionary societies, besides being active on various other educational and re- ligious boards. · The church they now serve is one of the most historic and active among their denomination in the South. They have been in "The Manse," where she has compiled all these notes, for nine years. Having no children, her labor of love for those of the younger generations is likely to be a matter of keen appreciation. XI In writing this note of her in the Foreword 0£ this book, I believe I am setting forth that which is rightfully her due­ as she is an exceptional friend to each who from henceforth will turn to these pages for inspirational iruths regarding their lineages. To every one who carries in his heart a drop of Gustine blood, the author of •this book has ministered by this, her work of unselfish love, in giving to us the Gustine History. Lovingly subscribed by one, whose Gustine blood is considered as an invaluable heritage.

In the history of "Old Dorchester," the. name of Mr. Thos. Makepeace is among those who came froll}. London in 1635. He was one of the five proprietors of the Dover, New Hampshire, and Swampscott patents, and was from Bristol or Shrewsbury, England. The · proprietors· were Thomas Makepeace, George Willys, Robert Saltonstali, William Whiting, and Edward Holyok~. The patents embraced in them from the "sea side" (near where Portsmouth now is) "and coming round the said land by the ryver unto the Falls of Quamscot" which includes what·is now Dover, N. H. Mr. Makepeace was one of the five partners who petitioned the "General Court" to have both patents and the jurisdiction of the people dwelling within the limits of these patents come under the government of Massachusetts, which was granted. Mr. Makepeace was a member of the Ancient and Hon­ orable Artillery in i638 _and had the title of "Mr." and ap­ pears to have been aman of some importance. In the "Transcript of Boston Records" is the following: ' . "The 25th day of the 1st month_called March, 1639, Further at this meeting it appeared by a writing dated the first day of August 1638, that .Mr. John _Underhill hath surrendered unto Mr. Thomas Makepeace of. Dorchester, his house in Boston, with an hundred acres of upland ground at Muddy River (Brookline) and ten acres of meadow or marsh ground there, and his share of woodlands in the Islands, with a garden at the house, and another behind Mr. Parker's house to the quantity of half an acre. and somewhat more, and also near half an acre upon the Fort Hill for the sum of an hun­ dred pounds." . From Mass. Records 1641, June 2, several parties are named "appointed to view and settle Mr. Makepeace farm of 200 acres." At this time, 1641, Mr. Makepeace lived in Dor­ chester, where he owned land. The same year he married Mrs. Elizabeth Mellowes of Boston for his second wife. The T_vpical New England Church At Old L_vme. Conn.

, In the records of the First Church, Boston, is found the following-: "The 25th day of ye 5th. mon. 1641 Mrs. Elizabeth Makepeace, lately called Mrs. Eliza. Mellowes, but now ye wife of Mr. Make• peace, Dorchester, was granted lve of Recommendation thether. That is to the church in Dorchester." In a book called a "Transcript of Boston Rec_ords" Vol. 1, p. 45, 1637, (City Clerk's Office) is the following: • "The 25th. of the 7th. month September 1637. At a meeting, this day, of Thomas Olyva, Thos. Leveritt, William Hutchinson, Wil­ liam Coulborne, John Coggleshall, John Sanford, William Balstone, and James Penne;-it is agreed that Mr. Thomas Makepeace shall have a house plot and garden place." This house and garden were in Hanover St., near Court St., and probably not far from where the Concert Hall was in 1857. It was not far from what was called the "Market Stead" in the Colonial days of Boston. I:ri this "Market Stead" stood the first meeting house of Boston, being a "very tiny affair" as history says, "with a thatched roof." It served for n chur.:-h tiJl 1640. A little north of this meeting house lived Captain Robert Keayne who founded (in this country) .. The Ancient and Honourable Company of Artillery" of which he, Mr. Make­ peace was. a member. This company has only two compeers in English speak­ ing civilization :-"The Order of the Garter" and "The 33rd degree of Free Masonry." Not far from the house of Capt. Keayne (at the corner of what is now Washington and State Streets), Gov. Win­ throp built his house, the frame of which was brought from England. This house was opposite to what is now "School Street." Next to the "Meeting House" was the home of Rev. John Wilson, 1st Minister of the Church in Boston. Boston at this time was only a fishing hamlet-when Mr. Makepeace was granted "his house plot and garden." Extract from History of Dorchester: "A church was gathered this year (1638) at Weymouth under the sanction of the proper authorities, and Mr. Lenthial, who ap- 22 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM peared to have been in advance of his time in liberality, caused some of the elders to suppose that he had imbibed some of the errors of Mrs. Hutchinson. They determined to check the error in the bud, and Mr. Lenthial was therefore called before the General Court to retract his opinions, and some of friends were punished. Some of the Dorchester people seemed to have been under much ex• citement about this matter, "for two of our Mr.'s, a title of no small significance in those days, were brought before the Court, and Mr. Ambrose Martin for calling the church covenant a stinking carri­ on and a human invention and saying he wondered at God's patience, feared it would end in the sharp, and said the ministers did dethrone Christ and set up themselves, was fined ten pounds, and counselled to go to Mr. Mather to be instructed by him." Likewise Mr. Thomas Makepeace, because of his novel disposition, was informed, "We were weary of him unless he reformed" (Writer of History). At this day the record of the court appears as novel to us as did to them the disposi­ tion of Mr. Makepeace. In 1654, Mr. Makepeace was in the "Narragansett Ex­ pedition" against the Indians for which he received pay from the Treasury of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Ile luuk. much interest in Free Schools. In 1641, he, with the owners, con­ veyed the whole of the rents and profits of Thompson's Island to the town of Dorc;hester for the support of a free school." From the Suffolk Registry of Deeds (Book II, p. 218): "Thomas Makepeace to Roger Williams, both of Dorchester '7 acres of land (in or ni) the great neck called Dorchester Neck' etc. The consideration twenty-one pounds-'13th. 11 mo. Anno 1648.' " Signed and Delivered Thomas Makepeace. in the presence of Roger Williams. Thomas Makepeace (his eldest son).

Thomas Makepeace died in Boston, January or Febru-. ary, 1667. His will, dated Boston, June 30, 1666, is on record in the Probate Office in Boston. This will, a very long one, can be found in the Makepeace Genealogy, p. 15. Ex­ tracts: THE WILL OF THOMAS MAKEPEACE-June 30, 1666. I, Thomas Makepeace, being weak in body, hut of competent and good memory, doe by this, my Last Will, dispose of my tem• poraral estate iµ manner following: Unto Thomas Makepeace, mine eldest sonne (beyond ye seas) and to his heirs forever, the debt of fifty pounds, which he oweth mee (for which end I have torne off the seals of his hill) and no more, because I have given him his portion formerly, viz, ye house and land in England (he being the heyre to it) which he hath long possessed.

As attests Edward Rawson, Recorder." THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 25

Nothing is known of his eldest son, except as he is men­ tioned in the will. His name appears as a witness to a deed of land in Dorchester in 1647. William, second son, was married May 23, 1661, to Ann Johnson. Many of his de­ scendants lived in and around Taunton. In Paige's History of Cambridge is a notice of Royal Makepeace who settled in Cambridgeport and built the first house and store there. · Taken from Mr. Oliver Ayer Roberts' "History of The Military Co. of Massachusetts" now called "The Ancient and Honourable Artillery Co. of Massachusetts" 1637-1888. Pub­ lished in Boston, 1895. This sketch found on Page 71: Thomas Makepeace (1638). He as an early friend of free schools, and was one of those citizens of Dorcehster who agreed to a direct tax for the support of a free school in that town. In 1641, he was one of the patentees of Dover, N. H., and signed the petition to come under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts. In 1654, he was in the Narraganset Expedition against the Indians. At this time, he was about sixty-two years of age. In 1664, William Stoughton bought the real estate of Thomas Makepeace (1638) in Dorchester, and the latter took up his resi­ dence in Boston. His· dwelling-house was on the corner of Hanover and Elm Streets, supposed to be the one John Underhill (1637) surrendered to Mr. Makepeace (1638) in 1639. His will was dated Jan. or Feb. 1666-7. The writer of the Makepeace Genealogy thinks that all bearing that name were descended from Thomas Makepeace of Boston and Dorchester. William Makepeace Towle, the lecturer, is a descendant. The name Makepeace appears of­ ten in English history and biography at various periods as far back as the middle of the fifteenth century. None of the early records in this country show from what part of England Mr. Makepeace came, except the Dover patent, which suggests the strong probability that he was from Bristol, England. NOTE-William Makepeace married Dec. 2, 1685, Taunton, Abigail (3) Tisdale, horn July 15, 1667, Taunton. William (2) Makepeace married May 23, 1661, Boston, Ann Johnson.

II BROWNE FAMILY Browne: Mentioned in 1 Bond's Genealogies of Water­ town, Mass. John Browne of Cambridge and Watertown, Mass., born 1631, and married Esther Makepeace April 24, 1655. Son of John Browne, born 1601, wife Dorothy, who came to America in 1632, in the ship "Lion" and settled at Watertown. Several. of his children were: born in Watertown, among them Elizabeth. ';fhe first Joseph, his eldest child, was run over and killed while young. He was born Feb. 8, 1656. (For births of his children see Gustin lineage). Soon after 1662 John Browne moved to Marlboro, Mass. Among those who were "portioned out" to ( see Augustine Jean) the different families was a Mr. Browne (1676). This may have been John Browne; as he was there at that time. He sold his farm there to Thomas Rice. This was about the time of the marriage of John Gustin to his daughter Elizabeth, with whom he went to Falmouth. From there, on destruction of the town, he returned to Watertown, where he dates his will Nov. 20, 1697. In the will he mentions his wife Esther or Hester, all of his children, some of whom were born in Marl­ boro, his sons-in-law3 Meacham, John Gustin (Augustine Jean), John Adams, John Darley or Darby, and John Hart­ shorne. Joseph 2d, horn 1679, married Nov. 5th, 1699, Ruhamah Wellington, granddaughter of Roger Wellington whose name is on the earliest list of proprietors of Water­ town. His wife was a daughter of Dr. Richard Palgrave of Charlestown. He is described as "a right Godly man, a skil­ ful chyrugeon." He die.i Sept. 30, 1630. Mehitable, sister oi. Ruhamah, married William Sher­ man ( cordwainer) . William and Mehitahle went to Conn., where their son, Roger Sherman ( named for his grandfather), 29 30 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM signer of the Declaration of Independence, member of Con­ tinental Congress and graduate of Yale College, was born. Joseph and Ruhamah settled in Watertown on what was called "Weston Farms." Joseph sold land in Weston, April 20, 1709, to Benjamin Garfield. He then went to Lexington, where he and his wife were admitted to the church in May, 1713. Of this church he was afterwards Deacon. He was constable in.-Watertown in 1700, and selectman and town clerk 1709. He died Jan. 11, 1766, and his wife died July 1st;; 1772, 92 year1:; old.

THE BROWN FAMILY OF WATERTOWN, MASS. (See Bond's "Hist. of Watertown") John Brown ( son, I think, of Abram, one of the earliest settlers of Watertown) was horn 1631. He resided some time at Cambridge. Is called in old records a Scotchman. He married April 24, 1655, Esther, dat.y;hter of Thomas Make­ peace, and in her .father's will, d~ted eleven years after, is called of Marlborough. They had issue: 1st., Joseph, h.

In 1678 the parents removed in company with the Au­ gustines to Falmouth, Maine, hut at the second destruction of that town were driven away and came to Watertown, there he dates his will, November 20, 1697, in which wife, Esther, six of his children, and sons-in-law, Jeremiah Meacham, John Gustin,* John Addams, Thomas Darley, or Darby and John Hartshorne are mentioned. * Jean Augustine's name already at this early date began to undergo a change into Gustine and Gustin although it seems always to have been distasteful to him, for even on his death bed he wrote in large letters (Capitals) drawing a circle around them, his name AUGus­ tine. Jean was his surname however and in the Isle of Jersey, from whence he emigrated, descendants of this family are still to be found.

Province of Maine, ,:&elonging to the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, a grant of land in 1680. - He married Elizabeth Browne, daughter of John Browne and Esther Makepeace, on Jan. 10, 1677, at Ma.rlbe~, Mass. She was born March 26, 1657, at Cambridge, Mass. The character of the inhabitants of the middle period of our history was of a superior order; there were among them Peter Bowdoin, or more properly Pierre Boudoin, and his son-in-law Stephen Bontineau, two French, Huguenots, who fled from France on the repeal of the Edict of Nantes. · Philip Barger, Philip le Breton, Augustine Jean, the an­ cestor of the Gustines living here, were Huguenot refugees from France, also. (This note the author found among other data she fell heir to-no reference was given-the real dates being: Augustine Jean came to America in 1675. The revo­ cation of The Edict of Nantes was 1685, while the original Edict was of the date 1598). Augustine Jean seems never to have used in this country his, full baptismal name, "Augustine Le Rossignol Jean." James Savage first mentions him as "Augustine Jean, from the Isle of Jersey, where he sold his estate in 1677." In his Genealogical Dictionary, he (Savage) calls him Augustine John, says he was first of Reading, and that the ~'changes in his name to Gustan, Gustin, etc., are justified by his own writ." Suff. Deeds X 131, Willis 161, 210. In the Falmouth rec­ ords is the notice of the birth of "John Gustin, son of David 'and J enie, grandson of Augustine Jean." Augustine Jean was in Marlboro, Mass., at a most excit­ ing time, the latter part of King Philip's War, 1675-1676. (Bodge's Hist. of the Soldiers ofKing Philip's War). In the list of names of those soldiers who served under Captain Beers is "Gustin John." On the road to Springfield and Northamp­ ton, Marlboro was a meeting place for the different troops. The writer has nofheen able to find at what time Gustin John was with Capt. Beers, whose term of service was very short. When news came of the disaster at Brookfield, August 4th and 38 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

St:4., a levy was made in Essex Co. for more troops. Those from Salem were under Capt. Lathrop. Those from Water­ town under Capt. Beers, who was of that place. (Bond's Genealogies of Watertown). Bodge in his history says: "Capt. Beers and Capt. Lathrop arrived in Brookfield August 7th., where they were joined by some troops from Hartford and Springfield. These last returned to Springfield, to which place Capt. Beers and Capt. Lathrop marched by way of Mememmissit. They returned to Brookfield August 22nd and August 23rd., joined Capt. Watts at Hadley." They wanted to destroy the Hadley Indians who were at the fort outside of the river, between Hatfield and Northampton, Sept. 2nd. While the people and garrison in Northfield were at work, they were attacked by the Indians, many people killed, houses burned, and cattle destroyed. Ignorant of this Capt. Beers started, Sept. 3rd., from Hadley (30 miles from Northfield) with thirty-six mounted men, and one ox team, to bring off the garrison and people from Northfield. "He camped that night near a stream called Four Mile Brook. The next day (Sept. 4) Capt. Beers, with most of the force, started on foot. Lea,ving the horses at camp with a small guard, he took the team with stores and ammunition." Capt. Beers went on till he came in sight of a small brook, _now known as "Saw Mill Brook." "At this place, where the ravine was covered with a thick growth of grass, ferns, and young trees, the Indians had placed an ambuscade. Capt. Beers started to cross at the usual fording place. Just as they were passing and the com­ pany most exposed they were furiously attacked in front and flank. Thrown into confusion they fought bravely, but were forced back by superior numbers three-quarters of a mile into a narrow ravine at the side of a hill now called "Beer's Hill." Some authorities give the number of killed as eleven, some sixteen. A few escaped and found their way back to the camp." THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 39

Among the killed was Capt. Beers. As "Gustin John" afterwards was in Marlboro, if in this engagement, he must have stayed at camp or was among those who returned there. Capt. Lathrop was killed under very much the same cir­ cumstances ·as Capt. Beers. There was a very large quantity of corn at Deerfield, and Capt. Lathrop was appointed to guard it to Hadley. Some five miles from the starting place ( now South Deerfield village) there was a stream called "Muddy Brook" ( riow Bloody Brook). At this stream the Indians formed an ambuscade. Most of the soldiers were killed, Capt. Lathrop among them. History speaks of them as "going along the road in a very careless way, eating grapes by the wayside, with. their guns on the wagons. So they were not prepared to meet the Indians, who so greatly outnumbered them." ( Bodge' s History) . The history of the settlement of Marlboro, especially in connection with the treatment of the Indians, and the land granted them, shows that a spirit of greed and envy on the part of the whites led to the condition of affairs that existed that time, 1675-6. The whites were often the aggressors. As Augustine Jean took part in some of the stirring events of that time, it is thought that some account of them and a description of life in Marlboro will interest his descend­ ants. The Indians submitted to the English as early as 1643. Through the efforts of Mr. Elliott, 6,000 acres of land were granted to them in· 1654. The first English settler in Marl­ boro was John Howe from Sudbury; he came in 1657-8. At the time of division of land (1660), there were thirty-eight whites. The first minister was the Rev. Mr. Brinsmead. Major Daniel Gookin and Mr. Elliott took much interest in the Indians and looked after their rights. Within the limit§, of what was after Marlboro, was ·the "Praying Indian Vil­ lage." The families in it were a branch of the Wamesit In­ dians. According to Major Gookin, the Indian name of Marl- 40 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM horo was "Okkokommesit." Mr. Elliott called it "Ognoni­ konquamesit." There was still another "Whipsuppenick," which the English called "Whipsufferage." At the beginning of King Philip's War, the Indians of the "Indian Village" were true to their friends although King Philip tried in every way to induce them to join the other tribes. Under the instruction of the English they built forts and were furnished with arms and ammunition. Those who were not friendly to the "Praying Indians" were very glad to think that they were guilty of things done by the hostile In­ dians who, when caught, often accused the Praying Indians of doing things they did themselves. Indian David who was suspected of shooting ·an Irish shepherd boy in Marlboro, was captured and tied to a tree. He accused the "Praying In­ dians" of making the attack on Lancaster, August 22, 1675. Capt. J. Ruddock, then in charge, urged by the settlers, forced the Indians to give up their arms and ammunition. This was without the sanction of the Court. A certain Capt. Mosely, famous for his insolence and harshness although brave in some ways, when appealed to by the people, gave up the In­ dian forts to the plunder and abuse of the soldiery. He was there ( in Marlboro) at this time with sixty men. This Capt. Mosely was prominent in King Philip's war. Fifteen Indians were arrested, "tied neck to neck like galley slaves and marched to Boston to be tried." (Bodge's History). Eleven out of the fifteen were acquitted. David, suspected of killing the shepherd boy, and for false accusation, and Indian Joseph Spoonant, were con­ demned to be sold out of the country as slaves. This broke up the Indian settlement in Marlboro. At this time the people of Marlboro determined to strengthen their position. They were not satisfied with the way Lieut. John Ruddock conducted things. The inhabitants, under the l~adership of Rev. Mr. Brins­ mead, called a meeting, Oct. 1, 1675. The result of this meet­ ing was given forth in a document so curious in wording and THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 41

spelling, a copy verbatim is given from Bodge's "History 0£ the Soldiers of King Philip's War." Marl. the: 1 of Oct 1675. At a meeting of the inhabetants, in order to take care for the safty of our town, these following proposals were Agreed upon, and Volentaryly, unto, that in case of asalt, these places heareafter mentioned should be defended by the persons that are expressed by name that is in. (And then the names of families, with the sol­ diers portioned to them are given. It concludes:) All these men to he maintained in their respective parcels by the familyes in the several fortifications wheare they are placed. Also that the ammunition of the town should be proportioned to the soulders of the town in these fortifications. This above written is that which Acted and Assented unto by the persons whose names are subscribed. (Then follows a list of names). This above written was the Act of the towne. Agreeing with the Acts of the Comettee of Melecti as Attest. William Kerly--Clarke." Lieut. John Ruddock writes several letters to the council, setting forth his g:r;ievances. They are given in full in Bodge's History. In March, Capt. Brocklebank was in command at Marl­ boro. In one of his letters to the council, dated March 28th, we find that the Indians had attacked Marlboro and that "six• teen houses and thirteen harnes had been burned." April 18th., the Indians again attacked the place, and destroyed most of the remaining houses and barns. Lieut. Jacob ( who was in command) writes, April 28, 1676: "The Towne is wholly consumed Excepting four Gar­ asons that were man' d when the Enimie was last with us, all ye cattle without Reach of the garasons are Lost, one of ye Garason House which was Judg' d to be most fit by our Cap­ taine: who your Honours did apoynt to order according to his Discretion for a stated Garason now burnt by Reason of ye Inhabitants not attending thereunto Every one being Care­ ful to Secure his private Interest." 42 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

Lieut. Jacob goes on to say how destitute the people were of everything. They were without seeds to plant and carts to help them in the-ir work. After the destruction of the town, March 24th., most of the inhabitants went to Boston and did not return till after the war was ended. When Capt. Turner marched from Marlboro, February 29, among those who went with him was Augustine John. "He stopped at Quabaug (Brookfield). Marching from· there March 4th., he left ten men, one of whom was Augustine John." This Capt. Turner was one of that band of Baptists who were so persecuted when Bell!ngham was governor. They were imprisoned, and those who were "freemen" were dis­ franchised. Mr. Gould one of them, went to Noddle Island (East Boston), and there the first Baptist church was estab­ lished, 1668. Captain Turner was killed in what was known as the "Falls Fight." Captain Turner was from Dorchester. At the close of the war Augustine Jean received a grant of land from President Danforth, at Falmouth, and bought more. He also bought la'nd in Maine, where some of his de­ scendants live. According to records received from the Maine State Li­ brary, State House, Aug~sta, Maine: "A fort was erected on the point at the foot of King Street, Portland, Maine, called Fort Loyall. At this fort, President Dan­ forth held a court in September, 1680, for the purpose of settling the inhabitants in a more compact manner than heretofore, the bet­ ter to enable them to resist future attacks of the Indians. The record of his proceedings at this time, although imperfect, we shall borrow entire from York Registry; his grants covered that part of Portland now of the most value, and the center of trade." Then follows the list of the lots with the names of the men to whom granted. On the west side of Broad Street Augustine John, had the fourth lot "with liberty in the cove for a brick yard" on the rear of his lot. As located by Wil- THE GUST1NE COMPENDIUM 43 liam Willis, the author of the history mentioned above, the four lots were, as follows: "On the west side of India street, the first lot was Capt. ~dward Tyng's, nearly opposite the fort, of which for a time he was commander, and extended from India street to Clay Cover; the next was Henry Harwood's, who was a Lieut.; next came Michael Farley, Jr.; Augustine John's lot came next." These four lots bring us to Middle Street." The records of St. Owen's Parish in the Isle of Jersey show that the original family name (surname) was "Jean" (John). It is a singular circumstance, but nevertheless a fact, tpat the progenitor of the family name on this continent had his name not only transposed, after his arrival (spring of 1675) in New England, so that his baptismal (Christian) name become his surname, but a gradual change occurred in the latter becoming Gustine and Gustin with various other spelling of the same:-see "Suffolk Deeds," Vol. X, p. 131; also "History of Portland, Maine" (1833) by Hon. Wm. Willis, Vol. 1, pp. 161 and 210; also, "Soldiers in King Philip's War," by Rev. George M. Bodge, p. 491; also "Massachusetts Archives," Vol. 68, p. 158; also "New Eng­ land Historical and Genealogical Records," Vol. VI, pp. 353- 5 (1889); also "Bond's Genealogies and History of Water­ town" (Mass); 2nd. Edition, p. 145; also "Savage's Gen­ ealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England," showing those who came before May, 1692, Vol. I, p. 79, Vol. II, p. 325, Vol. Ill, p. 627, Vol. IV, p. 674. On July 3, 1719, at Falmouth (now Portland), Maine, the immigrant, John Gustin (Augustine Jean) in the name of God, Amen, on his death-bed, signed his will, as follows: "John AUGustin." A copy of this will, with a facsimile of the curious mark, can be found in "Sargent's" (Maine) Wills, 1640-1750." It forms the basis of all title deeds to a great portion of the present city of Portland. 44 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

THE NEW JER,SEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY 11 West Park St., Newark, N. J. Mrs. Clifford S. Weaver, McKinney, Texas. Dear Madam: The name New Jersey is said to have been given in honor of Sir George Carteret's defense, in 1648, of his native Isle of Jersey, when attacked by the army and navy of the parliamentarians. You may remember that Sir George Carteret was one of the first pro­ prietors of East Jersey, having been granted the province by the Duke of York, afterwards James the Second. The first reference that I have found to the name Augustine is in N. J. Archives, 1st Series, Vol 1, page 221, and is contained in "Instructions to West Jersey Commissioners." I quote the fol­ lowing-"When James wase (is) in Maryland hee may Inquire for one Augustin whoe as wee heare did sound most part of Deliver River and the Creeks. He is an able Surveyor, See to agree with him to go with you up the River as far as over against Newcastell or further .... "Then lay out four or five thousand akers for a Towne· and . if Augustin will undertake to doe it reasonably lett him doe it for he is the fittest man . . . . when it is done let John Fenwick, if he please be There." John Fenwick was the founder of Salem, N. J. I find no reference to an Aug':')itine, or Gustine, family in N. J. deeds before 1703. Later deeds have not bee~ published. The first reference in N. J. Wills is to one Alpheus Gustin who died about 1770. There was a Gustine family living in Sussex County about 1800. Benijah Gustine, of Sussex County, died in 1808. Very truly yours, Maud E.

Joshua was probably born in Vermont. , The old records clearly indicate that Elisha (Joshua's father) was a resident of Vermont long after the year 1780. In Walton's "Records of the Governor and Council of Vermont," Vol IV, p 10, occurs this reference to him: "October 24, 1791 ; a petition signed by Elisha Gustin, praying for relief by way of compensation for the loss of a certain farm of land which he bought of Reuben Jones, as confiscated estate, and which he has since lost, the title not being vested in the state."

Melvin W. Gustin (my father) lives in Salem, Mo., and is the editor of "The Repub­ lican Headlight," a twice-a-week newspaper. He was born Oct. 12, 1843, in Branch Co., Michigan; married October 29, 1870~ near Richland, Pulaski Co., Mo., to Sarah E. Manes; was Postmaster at Richland in 1883; four children, viz: I. Jesse D. Gustin, horn,· Aug. 7, 1871, at Richland, Mo., married May 26, 1897, at Washburn, Mo.; to Adah K. Stark; now attorney-at-law in Salem, Dent Co., Mo.; one child, Melvin B. Gustin, born, January 14, 1899. 2. Sempronius B. Gustin, born, .Nov. 17, 1873; died, March 3, 1898. 3. Myrtle C., born, April 4, 1878. 4. Bertha E., born, Nov. 5, 1894, died in infancy. Steward P. Gustin lives at Nebo, Laclede Co., Mo .. He was married about 1878, near High Point, Mo., to Harriet Collyer, who died about 1893 cir '94, and he married again within a year or so, but I am not familiar with the maiden name of his last wife. He has some seven or eight children, whose names and ages I do not know. Dewey M. Gustin was married about 1885, in Laclede Co., Mo., to Emma Hough. They have no children and I do not know their whereabouts; not having heard from either for some eight or ten years. Esther A. Gustin was first married in the early '70s, in Lebanon, Mo., to John Mahan, who died two or three weeks after the marriage, and in a year or so she was married to Rudolph Goodrich at Tuscumbia, Mo. They had two chil­ dren, a son, Oliver Goodrich, and a daughter, Maude. The last I heard from Oliver he was unmarried, and was traveling for a jewelry house in southwest Missouri. I don't know where he is now. Maude Goodrich married about 1896, at Joplin, Mo. I have forgotten the name of her husband. They have one child, but I do not know its name, age, or sex. Esther was married to a man named Dolby. I do not remember his THE GUSTINE' COMPENDIUM 51 first name, but a letter addressed· to Mrs. Esther A. Dolby, Galena, Kansas, will probably get the desired information. Daniel N. Gustin, son of Joshua, was the father of three living children when I last heard from him, viz: Rinaldo Gus­ tin and R. D. Gustin, and one daughter, Zeruah, who married John Locke; and was living at or near Lebanon, Mo., the last I heard of them. They have several children whose names and ages I know nothing about. Rinaldo is also married, but I do not know anything further concerning him. I do not know where Daniel N. Gustin lives, as I have not heard from him since he left.Laclede Co. a dozen years ago. Zeruah (Gustin) Castle died a long time a~o, leaving a daughter, Zeruah, who married a man named T. K. White, and for many years lived in Indiana. She, too, I think is dead, but whether, she left children I am not informed. I do not know the name 'of Joshua Gustin's daughter who married Brockway. She died before the Civil War, leaving a son Tal­ cott or Talquitt and two daughter!'!. Young Brockway gradu­ ated from a college at Oberlin, Ohio, at which place he also educated his sisters. He enlisted with the Federal army in the Civil War, and was drowned in attempting to cross a stream with his. company. I am ignorant of the subsequent history and whereabouts of the Brockway girls. My grandfather, Jonathan F. Gustin, married Lydia E. Bennett, at White Pigeon, Michigan, but I do not know the date. He has been blind for many years and is quite feeble, although still in full possession of his mental faculties. He Jives eight miles east of Lebanon, Mo. His son, my uncle, Steward P. Gustin, lives twenty miles east of his father and often passes the place enroute to and from Lebanon. Yours very truly, . .. , Jesse D. Gustin, Attorney-at-Law.

The silhouette of her in this volume was copied from the original many years ago in the possession of her great grandson, Eliphalet B. Gustm of Marlingt~m, Stanstead Coun- ty, Quebec, Can. · · "Samuel and John Gustin ( whose wife was Lydia Mack), father and son, were the first settlers in: town, locating near Gustin Pond Road 13. · They erected there the first habitation in town. Samuel was unmarried (widower), al­ ways living with his son. He was a fit man for his times, earnest and positive. He laboured faithfully to establish the settlement. He was the first town clerk, March, 1766, one of the selectmen, proprietors committee, and "lot layer," for several years. He was agent for the settlers in.obtaining an extension of the charter, also represented them in the con­ tests, inspecting boundaries, in this position he seems to have s1bod firm for what he deemed right. As member of the com­ mittee of Safety, he was imbibed with spirit of liberty, which found expression in many ways. John shared his portion of the hardships and bore a part of the honors incident to the new settlement. ~e had married in Conn., Lydia Mack, who, with children John Jr. and Clara, were brought to the new home in the settlement wilderness. Three more children were born to them, Laurence, Zeba, and Abijah. They occu­ pied the log cabin a few years, when a new home was erected on Road Twelve on the east side, where the new barn of Mil­ liard Lane stands. This was replaced by the present home early in the century.

HISTORY OF CLAREMONT AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES, NEW HAMPSHIRE, PAGE 51 At a meeting of a few of the inhabitants interested in the Congregational Denomination early in the spring of 1771, Thomas Gustin (Jr.) "suggested that it was now a duty bind­ ing upon all to adopt immediate measures for the settlement of a minister of the- Gospel. That the settlement was sufficiently large and able to support a religious teacher, and besides the share of land reserved by the Charter for the first settled minister would enable him to furnish himself with a portion of his subsistence, and to some extent lighten the bur­ den of the ~ommunity; He urged immediate action, lest the share of 320 acres of land should fall to some other soc. by a prior compliance on its part with the terms of the Charter."

The first township meeting was held March 2, 1766, at the home of Samuel Gustin. The latter was chosen Clerk. The first selectmen were chosen March 16, 1766, Tubbs, Lamb, Gustin, and Lord. 'The first buildings were erected near Baker's Corners by John (Son of Samuel) Gustin.

HISTORY OF CLAREMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE ( About 1772) By a law there in force, it was imperative upon the se· lectmen to inform of all idle and disorderly persons, profane 'swearers and Sabbath-breakers. Each was "to carry a black staff 'two feet long, tipped at one end with brass or pewter, about three inches, as a badge of their office." Either by virtue of their office or common consent they seemed to have been invested with power to inflict punishment at once upon such. as they might find engaged in any misdemeanors during public worship, or between the A. M. and P. M. service on the Sabbath. They were vigilant and, if tradition may be re­ lied upon, rigid in their ,notions of order and sob:riety, especially on Sundays. On one occasion ( 1772) when meet­ ings were held in the South School-house, John, a son of Mr. Thomas Gustin of Claremont, was obliged "to stand strate upon the bench during the singing of the last psalm, and there to remain until the meeting is dismissed and the people have left the house, for turning round three times, and for not pay­ ing attention to _Mr. Wheaton while he is preaching." It was not usual for the tithing man to call out the offender, pro­ nounce sentence upon him, and put it in execution during the performance of the various services of public worship, but it seems it was sometimes done.

THE JOEL GusTINES Your letter of the 27th. ultimo transmitting "pension office record" of one, Joel Gustine, .a soldier of the Rev. War, reached me in due season. I have examined this record with much interest, and have made a notation of all data and facts therein, for which please accept my thanks. The said record is herewith returned to you, as requested. This Joel, born 1759; died 1839, was, I think a son of Stephen, born 1720, who 'was one of Samuel and Abigail (Shaw) Gustin's sons. The name "Joel" seems to have been a favorite with Rev. Samuel, Stephen and Lemuel (the three sons of Samuel and Abigail}, as witness: "History of Hingham, Massachusetts," Vol. 111, p. 311; published by the Town: Lois the second child of seven children of Jesse and Lois (Studley) Wilcutt (Willcut; Will­ cot), of Hingham and Chesterfield, Mass.

Author's Note:~. The genealogist visiting a small graveyard in Rhode Island, wherein stand eighteen tombstones, all bearing the name of Stephen Brownell, might well be pardoned some confusion, but he would ex­ perience no more than frequently al'ises from having two similar names in one family. In the biographical notice of the late Isaac N. Osterhout in the Historical Record, his mother's name is given as Susannah, daughter of Dr. William Hooker Smith; the statement seems definite and decisive enough, but let us comp·are it with the epi­ taph on her sister's grave in Forty Fort, Penn., Cemetery.

THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 61

Dr. Gustine was in the Battle at Wyoming when he acted as aide-de-camp to Col. Zebulon Butler; while in the engagement, a bullet passed through his hat. During the retreat, he owed his, escape to the fact that he was mounted. Previous to the engagement, he acted as Surveyor to the Continental troops in Forty Fort. It is claimed that he wrote the terms of capitula­ tion and certainly took the most active part in negotiating them. He having gone ( according to Mrs. Myers, one of the survivors), three times within the British lines with a white flag for that purpose. He was one of the six that signed them. During the occupancy of the Fort by the British and Indians, Dr. Gustine was mainly the one credited with having restrain­ ed the latter from plundering the captives if not massacring them outright. Herewith are attached official records of, this entire his­ tory and Dr. Gustine's connection therewith.

DATA-DR. LEMUEL GUSTINE ''Dr. Gustine, born in Connecticut in 1749, was in Wyom­ ing, Penn., at the time of the massacre. His name appears as a·witness to the Article of Capitulation between the notorious Col. John Butler of the English (Tories and Indians) forces and Col. Dennison of the Am~ricans ( soldiers and settlers) . Col. Dennison took with him Obadiah Gore and Dr. Gustine. The article was written and signed in Forty Fort, built by

It had long been surmised that there was one error in the above inscription, and it now became desirable to know if there was not an­ other. Of children and grandchildren there were none, but the great­ grandchildren not only gave documentary evidence that the name of their ancestress was Susannah, but added the statement that they had never known any other individual in the family to be so desig­ nated. On the other hand, relatives of Mrs. Osterhout Gay, and de­ scendants of Dr. Smith averred that whatever Mrs. Gustin's name may have been, they know that Susannah was married to Mr. Osterhout, and not to Dr. Gustin. Renewed inquiry, leading only to renewed con­ fusion, became useless. At last, dropping into hand in its own good time, came an old family Bible, containing the following significant entry: "Susannah Gay-died Tuesday, Nov. 2nd, 1852, aged 70 years, 7 months, and 11 days.' A daughter of Dr. Smith's by the second wife. She had been born after the sister's death and given her name. 62 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

forty hard New Englanders. The table on which it was writ­ ten belonged to Mr. Bennet, and is still in the possei'ision of one of his descendants. "In spite of the treaty which General Schuyler, on the part of Congress, had concluded with the Six Nations of West­ ern New York, July 1775, by which strict neutrality was to be observed between Americans and British, the Indians, helped by the Tories, made raids on the settlers. "At the time of Col. Butler's invasion of Wyoming, one thousand of the best men of the settlers were away in the regular army. · "Some authorities say that Col. John Butler's forces numb.ered sixteen hundred men, six hundred pure Indians, the rest Tories; some painted to look like Indians. "The first of July 1778, Col. Butler, with his followers, appeared in the Valley of Wyoming. Zebulon Butler ( cousin of Col. John Butler, sometimes called.Indian Butler), whose sympathies were with the settlers, commanded all the forces they could muster-between three and four hundred. "After two forts had surrendered to the Tories, Zebulon Butler withdrew to Fort Kingston. Indian Butler wanted to confer with his cousin, hut this was refused. It was agreed that they should meet the next day. · "The following afternoon Zebulon, with his men, march ed ont of the fort; going on expecting to meet the enemy, they found themselves in the trap laid for them. "They fought bravely, hut mistaking an order for that of 'retreat,' they were thrown into confusion, and soon sur­ rounded by Indians and Tories. Then followed the usual horrors of Indian warfare. Some escaped to the river and some to the fort. Col. Dennison and Dr. Gustine were mounted, and just as they reached the fort a bulhtt grazed the head of Dr. Gustine, as it went through his hat. "At the time of the surrender, Mr. Sutton, brother-in-law of Dr. Gustine, thinking it would add dignity to the occasion and that his clothes would be safer on his back, decided to THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 63 wear his wedding suit, a handsome one of grey cloth (he was a Quaker) . An Indian, taking a fancy to it, made him take it off. History speaks of the amusin~ figure of the Indian strutting around in the grey suit with his paint and feathers. "After the capitulation, Dr. Gustine and Dr. Smith, see­ ing there was no safety for life or property, determined to . leave. They built a boat with. boards and timber taken from the deserted cabins. With fifteen persons on board they started down the river to Hanover. Before night they came to a house on the river and had supper. They were invited to stay, hut feared the Indians. They went on through Nesco­ peck Falls. The next morning they heard that the woman and her two sons in the house on the river had been mur­ dered by the Indians. They went on to Middleton, Dr. Gus­ tine going to Carlisle, where he entered into practice. "An infant daughter of Dr. Gustine's; whose wife had . been massacred in Forty Fort, was one of the fifteen. She became the wife of the Rev. Mr. Snowden, a Presbyterian cler~yman, the first minister in Harrisburg, Penn., and the mother of the Hon. James Ross Snowden, well known in Petmsvlvania as having occupied many important and re­ snonsible public positions. He was Sneaker of the House of Representatives and Treasurer of the State. "Another little daughter of Dr. Gustine's died of expos­ ure on the raft on the river trip. "Dr. Gustine's wife was Susannah daughter of Dr. Wil­ liam Hooker Smith, who was in Wyoming ·at the massacre. Mr. Sutton married Sarah, Susannah's sister. Mrs. Sutton died in 1834, aged 80 years. , "In Martin's genealogies of prominent people in Wyom­ ing, Dr. W. H. · Smith is spoken of as having filled a large ~pace in public estimation at Wyoming for nearly half a .century. Of great sagacitv and tact, as well as of fine educa­ -l.ion; his influence was e~tensively felt and acknowledged. Dr. Smith died in 1815, ninety-three years old. In 1838 64 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

Congress granted to his heirs $2,400 as pay for his services in the Revolutionary War." According to another Record, Hollister's Lack. Valley, P. 157: "Permission was given by the British Butler for some of the inmates of the fort to build a raft or a boat, and go down the Susquehanna. One was thus built by Dr. Samuel* Gustin and James Sutton, near the fort, and on the morning of the 15th of July, 1778, James S., father of Mrs. Bradford, Polly, Deborah, and William Sutton, Louisa Burnham, a girl given to them, Dr. Gustin, his father, mother and one grand­ child, with Sarah, Polly, and William Gustin, a child given to the doctor, and his housekeeper, started from Forty Fort, in a boat or scow so leaky as to be impossible to keep it afloat without continual bailing. Landing for a short time at Northumberland, Dr. Gus­ tin gave the little girl away, who, when she saw herself thus left, cried piteously after her late protectors. A Bible, a little clothing, and a scanty supply of corn meal were all that was taken by the party in the boat. They landed at the ferry of Harris (now Harrisburg) with about $100 in Continental currency, and finding an empty house or cabin here, took possession of it at once." "Dr. Lemuel Gustine was a man of powerful build and fond of athletic sports. He amused the Indians by talking French with them and delighted them by wrestling with and throwing on his back an Indian who had undertaken to rob a captive of some trifle. After the battle and capture,_ Dr. Gus­ tin, in company with others, procured or built a boat in which he placed his two young daughters, and during the night started down the river. One of the children died from ex­ posure on the way. After many narrow escapes they arrived at Ft. McCallisters above Harrisburg. From there he re­ moved to Carlisle where he became distinguished as a practi­ tioneer of medicine." * Another instance of "Samuel" and "Lemuel" looking alike in the script. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 65 (See men of note in the Cumberland Valley-Peck's "Wyoming," etc). "During the fight many women and children escaped to the woods and mountains. Some lost their way in the track­ less forests and starved to death. The swamps and woods through which they wandered, trying to reach the other set­ tlements, have ever since been called the "Shades of Death." "In writing his history of Wyoming, Dr. Peck was very fortunate in being able to get his facts from the survivors of the massacre. "Mrs. Bedford, a daughter of Mr. Sutton, was living in 1858 in Abington, Luzerne County, Penn. Mrs. Meyers, daughter of Mr. Bennett, ( owner of the table), lived to a great age, with a wonderful memory. , Mrs. Weeden, the last survivor of the massacre, died in Columbus, Ohio, H306, nin­ ty-three years old." An excerpt from Peck's "Wyoming": "Mrs. Bedford was daughter of Jos. and Sarah Sutton, born Feb. 18, 1773, jn North Castle, N. Y.; her father came to Wyoming in company with Dr. William Hooker Smith, .his father-in-law. Dr. Lemuel Gustin married Susannah Smith, his wife's sister, studied medicine with Dr. Smith and was assistant surgeon with him in the army. ·"On July 3, 1778, says Mrs. Bedford, our little army marched from Forty Fort to meet the enemy; Drs. Smith and Gustin went out mounted when our men turned and fled and the work of slaughter began. The doctors ran their horses, but were hotly pursued. The Indians were so near that a hall passed through Dr. Gustin's hat. They came in and brought the sad tidings that our men were beaten. How Mr. Sutton was to dispose of his family was a question which had its serious difficulties. Sickness made a journey through the swamp impossible. Dr. Gustin and Mr. Sutton set themselves at work to build a boat. They took timber and hoards from deserted cabins, and drew out old nails which had ceased to be of any service where they were, and with such materials 66 .THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

'in nine days,' they had completed and launched their craft. Trunks, boxes, and bundles were soon deposited in the boat and the two families, fifteen persons in all, seated upon and among them. The ingenious and courageous navigators push­ ed off from the shore a_nd entrusted themselves and families to the care of a gracious, etc. The current of the river was so obstructed by rocks and rapids as to he scarcely navigable in low water, except by canoes. Their hastily built craft had been calked but no tar or pitch could he obtained and con­ sequently leaked considerably. They hauled up for repairs at Capt. Stuart's place in Hanover. "The difficulties which were overcome and the hazards which were run in this enterprise can now scarcely be esti­ mated. The craft was a slight flat bottomed boat constructed of materials not designed for such. Upon this frail vessel all the luggage which they dared venture to take on was piled up, and then fifteen persons seated themselves among the luggage. And now what was before them? A rapid, crooked river, several considerable falls, at best of dangerous navigation, and, for aught that was known, many miles of the way they would be exposed to the merciless savages. It re­ quired courage and skill of no ordinary grade to execute successfully such an enterprise. "We arrived safely at Northumberland the next A. M. That day we learned that the woman and two of her sons at the hou~e where we took our supper and where we thought to remain over night were murdered by the Indians. Our ap­ prehensions of danger were well founded, and had we re­ mained at that place we should probably all have been either murdered or led into hopeless bondage. From Northumber­ land we went on to Middletown, but Dr. Gustin went to Carlisle where he entered into practice. "An infant daughter of Dr. Gustin (Sarah) who consti .. tuted one of the companv in the boat subsequently becaJV.e the wife of the Rev. Mr. Snowden, a Presbyterian clergyman, and mother of Hon. James Ross Snowden, well known in THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 67

Penn. as having occupied various important and responsible public positions." Mrs. Myers in Peck's "Wyoming": "Col. Butler left the Fort upon the day of the battle, hut not until he and Col. Denison had agreed upon articles of Capitulation, which were drawn up in Mrs. Bennet's cabin.'' The table upon which those articles were written is still in possession of the Myers' family. Mrs. Mye.rs says Dr. Gustin went up to Fort with a white flag three tillles before the articles were fully agreed upon. They stipulated that the Fort should be given up but the in• habitants were not to be molested in their persons or property. )'he Indians were quiet until the next day about two o'clock. A large party came into the Fort some of them drunk. Dr. Gustin wrestled and talked French with them. This was de­ signed to divert them, hut they again resumed their plunder­ ing. From Men of Mark in Cumberland Valley, Dr. Lemuel

Gustine: ', This distinguished physician's first residence in Pa. was in the Wyoming Valley in 1772. After the sad event which is known in history as the "Massacre of Wyoming," Dr. Gus­ tine took up his residence in Carlisle. This was in July, 1778. When the Fort was invested, Dr. Gustine, accompanied Col. Denison to arrange the terms of Capitulation, and he signed that document as a witness. Dr. Gustine was a man of great strength and activity as well as courage. When the British and Indians took possession of -Forty Fort, the latter com• menced to plunder our people. An Indian attempted to take some property or apparel from the Doctor. He resisted and giving the Indian a trip threw him to the ground. The other Indians were so much pleased at the Doctor's courage and ac• tivity that they handed him a rope, and said: "He is a -drunken dog! · Tie him." Soon after the taking of possession by Maj. John Butler, who commanded the British and In­ dians, he said to Dr. Gustine "I can protect you and the others 68 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM with you today, and for this night also, but I cannot promise you safety tomorrow." That night of the fourth of July, Dr. Gustine was enabled to procure a boat and the next morning set off in it with his family, and a_ few others, down the Sus­ quehanna. Landing for a short time at Fort Augusta ( now Lunburg), they pursued their journey down the river, and stopping for a few days at Fort Hunter, a few miles above John Harris' Ferry ( now Harrisburg), they came to the Ferry, and from thence, Dr. Gustine and his family proceeded to Carlisle, where he took up his residence, ·and remained till his death which took place on Oct. 17th, 1805. One of the terms of Capitulation at Forty Fort was as follows: 'That the inhabitants that Col. Denison now capitu­ lates for together with himself do not take up arms during the present contest.' Dr. Gustine did not return to the Wy­ oming Valley nor break his engagement by re-entering the military service. He pursued with great success the prac­ tice of his profession, his practice extending through a large extent of country in t~e Cumberland Valley. Dr. Gustine was first married to a daughter of Wm. Hooker Smith, a prominent citizen of Wyoming, who, among other positions, was Surgeon to the Continental Army. This lady died a few weeks before the "massacre of Wyoming" and was buried at Forty Fort. A daughter by this marriage, Sarah, was then three years old at the time of the massacre and was in the Fort when it was surrendered. The daughter accompanied her father to Carlisle; she subsequently, namely in 1792, was married to Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, then a licentiate of the Presbytery of Philadelphia, but who had for several years resided at Carlisle as a student of divin­ ity under the e~inent Dr. Charles Nesbit. Mr. Miner, in his history of Wyoming (1845), referring to the family of Dr. William Hooker Smith, says: "But there was another daughter who was married to Dr. Lemuel Gustine whose name will be found to the Capitu­ lation of Forty Fort. Dr. Gustine removed to another part THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 69 of the state, and an only daughter of theirs who was in the Fort at the time of the surrender, married the Rev. Mr. Snow­ den, father of the Hon. James Ross Snowden. The heart leaps more quickly, and the life current flows more kindly at the mention of his name, when we recollect that the late honored speaker of the House of Representatives and present Treas­ urer of the Commonwealth, is. the descendant of one of the Wyoming sufferers. Dr. Gustine a few years after his removal to Carlisle, married Miss Mary Parker, by whom he had several sons and daughters, most of-whom removed to the state of Mississippi, where they became extensive and prosperous planters, and now there are none bearing the family name of Gustine re­ siding in the Cumbedand Valley, albeit there are many in the region who are connected therewith by the ties of consan­ guinity and affinity, viz, the Hendersons, Loudons; Ulries, Holcombs, Parkers, Snowdens, and others. Dr. Lemuel Gustine's name is found as one of the sign­ ers of the following article. (The article said to have also been written by Dr. Gustine): Westmoreland, July 4, 1778. Capitulation made and completed between Major John Butler, on behalf of his Majesty King George the Third and Col. Nathan Deniston of the United States of America. Art, 1. That the. inhabitants of the settlement lay down their arms and the garrisons he demolished. 2. , That the inhabi­ tants are to occupy their farms peaceably, and the lives of the in­ habitants preserved entire and unhurt. 3.

THE CAPITULATION-WHO WROTE IT? A committee's Publication. Thursday A. M., over the sig. of Forty Fort, requesting information as to who wrote the Articles of Capitulation, signed by Cols. Denison and Butler, after the Battle of Wyoming, drew out a·reply from Wesley Johnson, Esq., in which he says: "It is quite natural to sup­ pose that Rev. Jacob Johnson's services were involved in this instance in the absence of any regular Secretary." We have seen a letter written several years ago by William Alden, in which he says: "Prince Alden was also there (Forty Fort). Being an old man, he did not go to :fight. After the Battle and the surrender of the Fort, he drew up the Articles of Capitula­ tion." Major Prince Alden removed from Connecticut to Wyoming 1769, etc. He died at Nustuppen, May 22, 1804, aged 86. Considering these facts, it is quite natqral to sup­ pose that Major Alden wrote, etc. At the first interview be­ tween Col. Denison and the British Commander, Maj. John Butler, Obadiah Gore, and Dr. Gustine were present on the part of Col. Denison. At the next interview, Zeruh Beach and Rev. Jacob Johnson were present at or near the ruins of Fort Wintermot. At the dedication of the Wyoming Monument July 3, 1846, Sarah Gustine Snowden was present as one of the Wy­ oming Massacre-her father, Dr. Lemuel Gustine being physician in "Forty Fort" and surgeon of the Continental Troops.

* In Peck's history and Martin's also the mistake is made of giv\ng Dr. Gustine the name of Samuel instead of Lemuel, which is the cor­ rect one. And Deniston for Dennison in Martin's history. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 71

NOTE-On this monument, Dr. Lemuel's name is "Sam­ uel," a mistake so often made because of "L." and "S." look­ ing so much alike in script. This mistake occurs in Miner's "History of Wyoming." "His daughter Sarah had the final "e" carved on this monument, Gustine-being the spelling of the surname by all his descendants, although it is pronounced Gustin and not Gusteen." .

"Pioneer Physicians of Wyoming Valley" by Dr. Fred­ erick C. Johnson, page 20-reported Dr. Lemuel Gustine' s life and ancestry: "Dr. Lemuel Gustine was fourth in descent from Capt. Augustine Jean, born at Le Tocq, St. Ouens, Isle of Jersey, Jan. 9, 1647, son of Edmond Jean, who married April 25, 1638, Esther, daughter of Jean le Rossignol of Le Tocq. Both of these families were of great antiquity in the island, and 72 TIJE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM both were followers of the sea. Capt. Augustine Jean, who describes himself as a 'Mariner of the Isle of Jerzey,' came to Reading, Mass., in 1675. The circumstances that caused his name to he changed to John Gustin, without any such wish or intention on his own part, are unparalleled in the history of any family in New England. "At first his name of Augustine Jean was anglacized by scriveners to John. Afterwards they transposed Augustine Jean to John Augustine and finished by mutilating Augustine down. to Gustin. In the 'Genealogical Dictionary of New England' the family is called Augustine, hut Mr. Savage ex­ plains that the change to Gustan or Gustin was gradual.. The old man made his last protest against this barbarous mutila­ tion, on his death bed, July 3, 1719, drawing an enormous A U before the name Gustine, with which his will was signed. This document is found in Sargeant's Wills." "We must now refer to him as John Gustin. During the latter part of Philip's war he served as sergeant in the com• pany of Capt. Beers, and received a grant of land from Presi­ dent Danforth at Falmouth and bought more with money left -him by his father and mother. In his will he describes these lands as 'lying in Casco Bay,- at Martin's Point and Pasum• scot River,' now the'city of Portland, Maine. "He had married, Jari. 10, 1678, Eliza, daughter of John Brown, of Watertown,· and in the following year moved to his new possessions where was born his first son, Samuel, and a daughter Sarah. "On May 26, 1690, the French, assisted ,by a party of Abenakis Indians, captured, sacked and burned Falmouth; John Gustin and family being among the very few who es­ caped from that slaughter pen. He fled to Lynn, where he remained until 1719. "There were horn the following children: John, Nov. 6, 1691; Abigail, Dec. 9, 1693; Ebenezer, Oct. 4, 1696; Thomas, March 5, 1698-9; David, Feb. 6, 1702-3. "Although the records of the descendants of these chil- THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 73

dren are wonderfully complete, there seems to he lacking positive proof as to which of the above was the grandfather of Dr. Lemuel Gustin. If, as his descendants claim, he was a brother of Dr. Joel T. Gustin of Winchester, Va., then it was the John mentioned and his father was Rev. Alpheus Gustin, born May 29, 1722, married Mary Aberdy (for his 2nd wife) and settled in Berkeley, Va., at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War." Subsequent to furnishing the above Mr. George Wilmot Gustin treated the subject in somewhat greater detail in an article in the Honesdale, Pa., Independent, May 31, 1888, as follows: "The promised publication by the Wyoming Historical Society of a memoir of Dr. Lemuel Gustin, written by Dr. F. C. Johnson, will necessarily give publicity to .a part of the family history that 1 should like to make verifiable. "Some years ago the Rev. Geo. M. Bodge, A. M., His­ torian of King Philip's War, called my attention to the singu• lar transpositions of names in the case of my ancestor, Augus­ tine John, sometimes John Gustin, on the official· records of Massachusetts. In the Genealogical Dictionary of N. E. the family is mentioned under the heading of Augustine, but Mr. Savage explains that the change to Gustan or Gustin was gradual. This, however, in no way explains, the transposition referred to. The second son of Augustine John, Jr., my great, great grandfather, was born in Lynn, to which place the family had fled after the sacking and burning of Fal­ mouth, May 26, 1690. The Lynn records contain the follow­ ing: "John ye sonn of John Gustin and Elizabeth. his wife, was horn, Nov. ye 5th, 1691.' " . "In deeds conveying lands at 'Glassenbury, Conn., to his sons, 1740-45, and on all occasions he signs as above, so we must return to his father. "In Massachusetts Archives (Philip's War), Vol. 68, page 158: among the men left at Quahang ( now Broodfi.eld) March 4, 1675-6, was Augustine John. At the same time in 74 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

'Hull's Journal Accounts' he is frequently and invariably re­ ferred to-as John Gustin. "June 29, 1677, he executes a deed (Suffolk Deeds 10,131) to the famous Rev. John Brock, of 'Reading,' where­ in occurs the following: 'As the same was given and left or otherwise ordered unto mee the said Augustine John by my father and mother, namely Edmund Jean and Esther his wife, late of the Parish of St. One ( St. Ouens )- in the said Island of Jerzey, deed/ "Jan. 10, 1678, 'John Gustin' married Elizabeth, daugh­ ter of John . Brown, of Watertown, and grand daughter of Thomas Makepeace, of Dorchester, Bond 145; York records. "Nov. 20, 1697, John Brown dates his will at Water­ town, and mentions 'my son-in-law John Gustin.' Hon. Wm. Willis, in his history of Portland, Maine, refers to Augustine Jean, a native of the Isle of Jersey. Afterwards John Augus­ tine, etc. "July 3rd., 1719, at Falmouth, now Portland, on his death bed, John Gustin signs his will, as follows: "John AUGustine. This will with a facsimile of the curious mark will be found in 'Sargeant's (Maine) Wills, 1640, 1750. It forms the basis of all the title deeds to a great portion of the pre'sent city of Portland. His lands 'lying in Casco Bay, at Martin's Point and Pasumscot river,' having been granted to him by 'the Colony of Massachusetts Bay' for his services in King Philip's War. He bought more with money left him by father and mother. The record at St. Ouens, of which I give as much as is necessary to make the matter clear, is as follows: "Edmond Jean de Le Tocq, Oct. 1597, Nov. 12, 1674. St. Ouens, Jersey, married, April 25, 1638, Esther, daughter of Jean le Rossignol; she died June 25, 1672. Children: Katherine, daughter of Edmond Jean, baptized Oct. 2, 1642; Augustine, son of Edmond Jean, baptized Jan. 9, 1647. Mar­ gueriet, daughter of Edmond Jean, baptized Nov. 24, 1650. Edmond, son of Edmond Jean, buried April 14, 1676. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 75

"These Jeans and Le Rossignols were families of great antiquity in the island, and both were followers of the sea, one of the latter having traded with the nations at Acadia, North American, as early as 1604. "I close with a Jersey tradition-dating probably from 1720: 'There were four brothers (children?) and they went at sea. They were captains in the merchant service and trad­ ing to America. One of these captains married in America and by that marriage a son was born. When he got of age he came over to Jersey to see if he could claim any of his father's property. ~ So these other brothers of deceased by all appearance gave him a certain amount of sum of money. So he returned to America and since then has not been heard o;f .and hy all appearances they live near Le Tocq."-Hac­ quoil. (Signed) Geo. W. Gustin.

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE BUREAU OF WAR HISTORY Harrisburg, Penn., July 26, 1927. To Mrs. Clifford Weaver: At the Sesqui-Centennial of this church in 1890, George R. Snowden, a grandson of Nathaniel R. Snowden, delivered an address in which he gives a rather full history of the fam­ ily. This book was published in 1890. It is rather difficult to get a copy now except in a secondhand bookstore. It is entitled "History of the Sesqui-Centennial of Paxtang Church." In this address Mr. Snowden states that Nathaniel R. Snowden was born in Philadelphia, Jan. 17, 1770. That he· was one of five sons of Isaac Snowden II, all of whom graduated at Princeton College, and four of whom became ministers at the Presbyterian Church. He (Nathaniel R. Snowden) died at the home of his son, Dr. Charles Gustine 16 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

Snowden, at Freeport, Pa., in 1850. He was married on May 24, 1792, to Sarah, daughter of Dr. Lemuel Gustine, who had served in the Revolution as an assistant surgeon, and who was present at the surrender of Forty Fort (in the Wyom• ing Valley), when he was a aide to Colonel Dennison. He, with his family, escaped the "Massacre of Wyoming," fled down the Susquehanna to Harris' Ferry (now Harrisburg). Of their five sons, the oldest, Dr. Isaac Wayne Gustine, be­ came an elder in the Silvers Spring Presbyterian Church, and the youngest, James Ross Gustine, became a member of the session of the Alexander Church of Philadelphia. Isaac Snowden II, was one of the original elders of the Second Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. With Wither­ spoon and others, he was a member of the committee which drafted the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. Was treasurer of the city and county of Philadelphia. Isaac Snowden I, ( the father), was an elder in the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, and his father, John, was horn there in 1684, was perhaps the first elder ordained in Pennsylvania, and perhaps in the U. S. Susannah Smith, :first wife of Dr. Lemuel Gustine, daughter of Dr. William Hooker Smith, before referred to, born, Nov. 18, 1750', married, 1774, Dr. Lemuel Gustine. Died June 12, 1778, a few days prior to the Massacre of Wyoming. She left an infant daughter, who perished on Susquehanna River, on the raft, before referred to. One child survived: Sarah Gustine, horn in Wyoming, Penn., June 1775, died in Philadelphia, Penn., Jan. 3, 1857.. Married May 24, 1792, Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, horn June 12, 1778, died 1850. Rev. Nathaniel Snowden was the first Presbyterian minister of. Harrisburg, Penn. His picture may be seen today hanging in a place of prominence in this historic church edifice.

JAMES Ross SNOWDEN In 1861, he was appointed Prothenotary of the Supreme Court of Pa., succeeding Robert Tyler, son of ex-President Tyler, who left Philadelphia to write his fortune with the Southern Confederacy. In 1873, Mr. Snowden resumed the practice of his pro­ fession in Philadelphia. During these active duties, he was connected with many scientific, literary, and historical socie­ ties, and as an Elder of the Presbyterian Church, took an ac· tive part in the various courts of that denomination. Mr. James Ross Snowden was a writer of rare perspicuit.y and vigor." "In 1858-9 he entered into a long and very elaborate de­ fense of the decimal system, in a discussion with Lords Mon­ teagle and Overstone of the British Parliament, which was very favorably commented upon at that time for the English press. In 1872, Washington and Jefferson Colleges conferred upon Mr. Snowden the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. In all the various responsible and honorable positions which he filled during his lifetime, he displayed the best qualities of THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 81 our nature. With a clear intellect, highly cultured, with a pure heart under Christian guidance, he _at all times com­ manded public respect and confidence. Of him it can with truth he said he never filled a public trust hut to the public advantage, and none of his predecessors or successors in any of the offices he filled can he pointed to,' however distinguished they may· have been, as his superiors in the qualities neces­ sary to the fulfilment of the duties of those offices. Naturally modest and unobstrusive, he was always more useful than conspicuous. Respected by all and beloved by those who en­ joyed his intimate acquaintance, his life was of rare service as an example and incentive. It were well for our country if the career of this virtuous citizen were emulated by those who hold administrations and public trusts. A Sketch of Dr. Nathaniel Duffield Snowden. Written after his death in 1864. Son of Rev. Nathaniel Randolph and Sarah Gustine Snowden, was born at Harrisburg, Penn., on the 28th. of November, 1803. His family is one of the oldest in the United States. William Snowden, his paternal ancestor, with his brother, Richard, who afterwards removed to the South and became the founder of the families of that name in Maryland and Virginia which intermarried with the Herherts, Fairfaxes and Washingtons, arrived at Philadel­ phia in the year 1660. His great-grand-father, Nathaniel Fritz Randolph, whose son of the same name, a noted Captain of partisan troops in the Revolution, known as "Fighting Natt," for distinguished gallantry was presented a sword of honor by the Legislature of New Jersey, descended from a New England family settled in 1630 at Barnstable, Mass., gave the ground on which Nassau Hall was built at Princeton, N. J. An eminent repre­ sentative of this family being the late Hon. Theodore Fritz Randolph, governor of New Jersey, N. J., senator from that state, etc., and his great-grandfather was Rev. Samuel Finley, S. T. D., educated at the famous Log College at Hartstown, Bucks County, became President of the College of New Jer- 82 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

sey, more generally known as Princeton College, serving from 1761 to 1766. Five, at least, of President Finley's sons were officers in the Continental Army; two of them, John and Jo. seph Lewis, were Captains in the Pennsylvania Line, and original members of the Society of the Cincinnati in this state. The inventor of the electric telegraph, Samuel Finley Breese Morse, was a descendant of Dr. Finley, and the famous Dr. Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, whose son, Richard, was Minister to England. The Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden and his four brothers, their father being member and President of the Board of Trustees, and also member of the Committee which reported the Form of Government of the Presbyterian Church at Philadelphia in 1788, were graduates of the col­ le~e, four of the sons being ordained as ministers of the gos­ pel. The other son, Charles, removed to New York and took to wife Frances, daughter of General Malcolm, became con­ nected by blood and marriage with the Schuylers, Hamiltons, and Livingstons. His mother, Sarah, was the dau~hter of Dr. Lemuel Gustine, a descendant from Augustine Jean, changed to John Gustine, a native of one of the Channel Islands, and a Ser­ geant of Colonial troops, in the King Philip's War, 1675. Dr. Gustine was Assistant Surgeon in the War of Revolution, and acting Aide to Colonel Denison, commanding the Continental forces, signed the Treaty of Forty Fort. Held prisoner by the British and their Indian Allies. Dr. Gustine, with his family, fled down the Susquehanna in a flat-boat, escaping the Mas­ sacre of Wyoming, and it is believed that, at the time of her death, Sarah Gustine Snowden was the last survivor of that romantic, but dreadful event. Dr. Lemuel Gustine married Susan, daughter of the celebrated Dr. Wm. Hooker Smith~ who was Surgeon in the contest for Independence, and served as such in Sullivan's Expedition. Dr. Smith came from Con­ necticut to the Wyoming Valley, and was descended on his THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 83

mother's side from Edward Winslow, a Pilgrim by the "May• flower" and second Governor of Plymouth Colony. As to John Snowden, the great-grandfather, he was or­ dained an Elder in 1707, the first elder to be ordained in Pennsylvania. Of the six children of Nathaniel Randolph and Sarah Gustine Snowden, four sons, Isaac, Charles, Lemuel, and Duffield, became successful physicians, and one, James Ross, readin~ law at the early age of nineteen was Deputy Attorney General, as it was then called, now District Attorney, of Ven­ ango County, twice Speaker of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, St:ate Treasurer, Asst. Treasurer of the U.S., Director of the U. S. Mints, Prothonotary of the Supreme Court, etc., etc. He married Susan, daughter of Major Gen­ eral Robert Patterson. The daughter, Mary Parker, became the wife of James Thompson, a rising youn~ lawyer, later on eminent at the bar and distinguished on the bench, Speaker of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, Judge of the District Court, four terms a Member of Congress, serving sometime as Chairman of the Jvdiciary Committee, Justice and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, etc., etc. Assuming charge of Dickinson College, ~t Carlisle, Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, himself a fine scholar, and as familiar with the Greek as with the English Testament, was enabled to give his children all a liberal education, the boys being well grounded in the classics. Isaac, the oldest, read medicine, with the noted Dr. Nathaniel Chapman, of Phila-. del-phia, joined the Army as Surgeon, served at New Orleans, and elsewhere, as a member of General Andrew Jackson's staff, and at the siege of Fort Scott, although wounded, con­ tinued to perform his official duties, and actively assisted in the defense. Quitting the service, he took up practise in civil life at Thompsontown, Penn., on the Juniata River, where his brothers studied under his instruction, relieving the monotony of their work by fishing and hunting the hear and the deer which in those days abounded in the mountains of that re- 84 THE GUSTIN£ COMPENDIUM gion. Isaac Snowden's fox-hounds and horses were as well known as his professional learning and skill, the reputation of which extended throughout the ad joining counties. His younger and surviving son, Archibald Louden Snowden was Minister to Greece, Consul General to Roumania, etc. Concluding his preliminary studies and matriculatin~ at the University of Penn., Dr. Duffield Snowden in 1828 fol­ lowed to Venango his father's family, who were located at Franklin, James Ross, the youngest brother, being, as stated, Deputy.Attorney General, and settled at Emlenton. Engaged in his avocation there for two years, he sought a wider field and joined his relatives at the county-seat. From that time on, until failing health prevented, he was active and untiring in practice in all branches of his useful and honorable pur­ suit. Equally skilled as a physician and a surgeon, there was no emergency for which he was not equipped. Gentle in his manners and by nature tender and sympathetic, few men more readily secured the confidence and affection of the affiicted. In tho~e days, the practitioner drove, or, such was the state of the roads, he more often rode horseback long distances in the country, and frequently in consultation he was bidden to un­ dertake a journey of twenty or thirty miles or even farther. With conscientious devotion to his sacred calling and with unfei1~ned svmpathy for sorrow and distress in every form, he cheerfully responded to demands for his services, day or night,-and, often, as He pathetically said, he answered summons to the sick-bed when he was more in need of rest and medical attention than his patient. Stttdious in his habits and tastes, he was familiar with the literature and kept well up with the progress of his pro­ fession. In diagnosis, the difficult and often obscure science of ascertaining the nature of disorders he was without a su­ perior, for he seemed intuitively to' read the secrets of disease, and he was as ready to prescribe the appropriate remedy. He never turned a deaf ear to the voice of the poor, and long be­ fore an apothecary was located at Franklin, and he was ob- THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 85 liged at times to prepare his own drugs, he gave out his medi­ cines and his advice without hope of reward to the needy and destitute whose only fee was a prayer to the Great Physician to bless him for his charity. · A man of liberal education himself, partially illustrated, perhaps, in a final admonition written in the Bible of his son, then leaving for the war, "Lege et Intellige," he was resolved that the youth of Franklin, especially his own offspring, should not grow up in ignorance. He served long and faith­ fully as director of the schools and Trustee of the Academy, and, for lack of other facilities to instruct the young for at least two winters, 1852-3 and 1853-4, he hired a teacher and set up a school at his own risk, looking for reimbursement to the parents who sent their children. Too closely occupied with his profession, indeed it was little to his taste, to take much active share in public or political affairs, his brother, James Ross, and his brothers-in-law, James Thompson and Arnold Plumer, looked sufficiently well after those matters, he took a quiet interest in everything which tended to the gen­ eral good; In all schemes for local improvement in those early times when money was scarce and hardly earned, he contributed his part, whether it was to a bridge over French Creek or the Allegheny, works to supply the town with water, a turnpike to Oil City or to Calrion and Meadville, a bank to increase and facilitate business, or whatsoever object looked to the progress of the place or the advantage of his neigh­ bours, frequently serving as President or Director in corpora­ tions organized for such purposes. Repeatedly honored by his fellow citizens in election to places of trust, he was several times Coroner of the County, and one term, 1857-60, Regis­ ter of Wills, Recorder of Deeds, and Clerk of the Orphans Court, the active duties of which latter offices were in the main discharged by his son, George, then a lad of seventeen. He was about five feet ten inches in height and somewhat spare in figure, he was expert in his younger days in all kinds of athletic exercises, especially noted as a skater and a swim- 86 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM mer, and was a fine and graceful horseman. An excellent shot with the rifle, he was skilled in hunting and was particu­ larly fond of fishing for trout which was plentiful in those days in Mill Run, Van Buren Run, and other well known streams. Of a family noted in the annals of the Presbyterian Church for over thirty years, he held, and, when not engaged in his professional duties, occupied a pew in the frame meet­ ing-house, which long stood at (now) West Park and Otter Streets, and on the 30th of September, 1864, died in full com­ munion with the faith of his fathers. The large assemblage of people who, in spite of inclement weather, attended his funeral, testifie4 to the universal respect and affection with which he was regarded. Dr. Snowden was united in marriage by the Rev. Thomas Anderson, on the 27th. of April, 1833, to Jane, eldest child of George McClelland, Esq., who came from the North of Ireland to Venango at the beginning of the present century, and settled at a place on the top of Big Sandy Hill, where, on the 28th. of Feb., 1804, Jane, the daughter, was born. George McClelland was a prominent and influential man in the com­ munity, and was actively engaged in commercial pursuits, at various times a~d places. He was the first Burgess of Frank­ lin, Treasurer of the County, etc. His wife was Agnew Seaton and their children were Jane, married to Dr. Snowden; Mar­ garet, to Hon. Arnold Plumer, distinguished in business and in public life, elected Sheriff before he was of age, U.S. Mar­ shall, Member of Congress, Canal Commissioner, etc.; Nancy to Hon. John Bredin, the learned and upright President Judge of the Butler district, whose son, James, has since served ten years on the same bench; John, to Eleanor Purviance, the sis­ ter of Hon. Samuel A. Purviance, Attorney General; and of Hon. Nelson Purviance, Auditor General of Penn.; George Croghan, graduate to West Point Military Academy and a gallant officer in the Mexican War, and in the Rebellion; Eliza, wife of Samuel F. Dale, Esq., a citizen highly esteemed and foremost in every good work, of whom the late Or~is Hall, THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 87 of Warren,' said that he had had business with many honest men, but Samuel F. Dale was the most honest of them all; and Joseph, in the late war, a brave and faithful sergeant of the 5th. Penn. Cavalry. Of these, Eliza and Joseph only are living. Dr. Snowden and Jane, his wife, she died on Feb. 9, 1867 and left three children; Dr. Samuel Gustine Snowden, a distinguished physician, married to Mary, daughter of Dr. Isaac Judson, of Waterford, Erie County; George Randolph Snowden reading law, was admitted to the bar prior to enlist­ ing as a private soldier in the Army, was Captain in the 142 Penn. Volunteers, Burgess of Franklin in 1866, removing to Philadelphia in 1874, became Member of the Select Council of that city, now and for eleven years past Brigadier General commanding the First Brigade, National Guard of Penn., As­ sistant and for four months acting U. S. Appraiser, etc., and Jane Bredin Snowden, wife of James Woodhurn, a leading merchant and useful citizen. Dr. Gustine Snowden died on the 22nd. of August, 1884, at Ashville, N. C., without living issue, and Mrs. Woodburn on the 7th. July, 1873, leaving two y~ung children, Gustine Randolph and Emily Evans. Pa. Archives-3rd. Series-Vol. XX-Page 697.

Minor, whose father was Don Es­ tevan Minor, Spanish Governor of Louisiana at one time. 2. Dr. Samuel Gustine. Educated at Dickinson College, studied medicine and practised several years at Carlisle, Pa., went south with Brother, James, a physician, where he became an extensive planter, owning and working on his plantation near Natchez, Miss., over 200 slaves, all his own. His lands were in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. In Texas, his lands were of the John Darst Grant in Cherokee County. His will was written in 1841, in which he describes himself as of Adams County, Miss. He died in 1848, a resident of Concordia Parish, Louisiana, where his will was probated by Wi11iam J. Minor, the husband of one of his nieces (Rebecca Gustine, a daughter of his brother, Dr. iames Gustine). He died in 1845, unmarried. His heirs-at-law were his full sister, Mrs. Jane E. B. Conner, also a full sister, Mrs. Maria Gustine ( who was the wife of Greene Gustine, her cousin, who was a son of Dr. Joel Gustine. They had no children, she died 1900). An interesting reference to the estate which Dr. Samuel Gustine left to his heirs is to he found in the following item published in the Dallas News during 1917:

$350,000 WORTH OF LAND' INVOLVED IN FEDERAL COURT SUIT "The early history of Texas was reviewed before Federal Judge Lee -Estes Tuesday in the progress of a hearing involving the owner­ ship of timber land in Cherokee County valued at approximately $350,000. The heirs of Samuel Gustine, early settler of Texas, are contesting the ownership of approximately 12,000 acres of East Texas land recently purchased by Louis Lipsitz and associates. The THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 91 heirs as named in the petition are Mrs. Jane Stewart, 60 years old, of Phoenix, Ariz.; Mrs. Ophelia Wilcox, and J. L. Gustine, both of Missouri. . "The Gustine heirs base their claim to the land on the will of Dr. Samuel Gustine, made in 1846, and filed in Concordia Parish, Louisiana. Dr. Gustine, according to the petition, obtained posession of the land in 1833, during the days of Mexican rule for a coloniza• tion scheme. "Dr. Gustine died in 1847, leaving the land to a nephew, Sam­ uel Gustine, who is said to have come to Texas in the days before the Civil War. He later settled in Missouri, enlisting in the Confederate Army, and fought with a Missouri regiment throughout the war be­ tween the States. Gustine disappeared from a small town in Mis­ souri in 1865 and attorneys for both sides have been unable to trace him from that year. "An interesting feature of the Gustine will offered in evidence Tuesday was the names of 200 hegro slaves owned by Dr. Gustine. The name of each slave was listed with his age and approximate value. Among the names appeared that of Squire, whose age was given at 80 years. More than a dozen of the slaves listed in the petition were above 60 years old. Most of them were listed by their first name only. "It is the first time in recent years and among the few times in the history of Federal Court procedure here that the names of negro. slaves figured in court petitions. "Judge Estes will not render a judgment in the case at the present, he announced at noon Tuesday. The case will come up for further hearing Wednesday morning at nine o'clock, after which he will take the case under advisement. "The Gustine heirs are represented by Thomas Shearon, Per­ kins & Perkins of Rusk, Judge E. B. Perkins, and W. B. Hamilton, and the defendant by Spence, Haven and Smithdeal of Dallas and Cone Johnson and Judge R. W. Simpson of Tyler." The contesting heirs were descended from a Samuel (some­ times spelled "I,.emuel," I believe), who was born about 1835. He was a soldier in the Confederate Army. He settled in Davies County, Mo. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Extensive and interesting documents are in my possession regarding a large amount of property owned by Dr. Samuel Gustine, that was confiscated by the Federal troops during the Civil War. The ~eries is composed of matters from the U. S. Senate and House of 92 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

Representatives, in printed form; the first one is "Report No. 38, 45 Congress, 3rd Session, dated Dec. 19, 1878." Excerpts from two of the others follow: 46th Congress, REPORT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 2nd. Session No. 172 S. I.

Gustin for a quantity of wood used by United States troops near Macon, Ga., in the year 1865. A similar bill was introduced in the House of Representatives during the last Congress which was referred to the Committee on War Claims. That committee made a favorable report thereon, as follows: The report follows. At the close of the report, the following is found: "The foregoing' report was submitted recently to J. H. Wilson, late major-general, under whose order the wood was taken, who indorsed thereon the following: Boston, Mass., January 2, 1880. I know Samuel I. Gustin, and believe him to be an honest and deserving man. Special Field Order No. 22 was issued by me. The proceedings of the hoard of survey seem to he regular and in order, and to fairly show that Mr. Gustin should be paid as recommended by the committee. Assuming all the facts to be as herein set forth, I have no doubt Mr. Gustin should be paid without further delay. J s. H. Wilson, Late Major-(;eneral Volunteers.

Gustin, have had the same under consid­ eration, and submit the following report: This is a bill to pay Samuel I. Gustin for a quantity of wood m:ied bv United States troops near Macon, Ga., in the year 1865. · General J. H. Wilson entered Macon, Ga., on or about the 21st. day of April, 1865, and on the 22nd. day of April, 1865, issued Special Field-Orders No. 22, as follows: "Special Field Orders No. 22. Headquarters Cavalry Corps, Macon, Ga., April 22, 1865. It is hereby announced to the cavalry corps of the military division of the Mississippi that an armistice has been agreed upon between Lieut. Gen. J. E. Johnston and Maj. Gen. W. T. Sherman, with a view to a final peace. The troops of the cavalry corps are ordered to refrain from further acts of hostility and depradations. Supplies of all kinds are to be contracted for, and foraging upon the country will be discontinued. The officers of the cavalry corps will enforce the strictest discipline in their commands. Guards will he established, private and public property respected, and everything done to secure good order. The brevet major-general commanding again takes pleasure in com­ mending the officers and men of the corps for their gallantry, steadi­ ness, and endurance in battle, and during the arduous marches to this place. He enjoins them to remember that the people in_ whose midst they are now stationed are their countrymen, and should be treated with magnanimity and forbearance, in hopes that, although the war which has just ended has been long and bloody, it may se­ cure a lasting and happy peace to our beloved country. By command of Brevet Major-General Wilson. E. B. Beaumont, Major and A. A. G. 94 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

At- the time Samuel I. Gustin had on his farm near Macon one hundred cords of wood. He also had a large amount of rails and other wood suitable for fuel. Between the 24th. day of April and the 27th. day of July, 1865, it was used mostly by the troops for fuel. About the same time, and after April 22nd., 1865, a building belonging to said Gustin was burned. On the 27th. day of July 1865, Special Orders No. 3, Headquarters District of Columbus, were issued, appointing Lieut. Col. J. H. Tompkins, Fourth Kentucky Mounted In­ fantry, and Capt. John A. Roberts and Lieut. George A. Pat­ ton, of the same regiment, a hoard to assess damages. This board called before it witnesses, both civil and military, and reported the amount due to Samuel I. Gustin, as $2,529, which included $1,129 for the wood, rails, and other fuel used or destroyed by the United States troops, ~nd $1,400 as the value of the said building destroyed. This report was made after not only taking testimony hut personal examina­ tion by the hoard, and was approved by Brig. Gen. John T. Croxton, in command. On account of lack of funds it was not paid by the quartermaster, and never has been paid. The hoard, in calculating the amount of $1,129, reduced all the fuel to cords, and calculated the amount due at the price at which the Army was purchasing similar fuel at the time under contracts. The papers in this case were in 1867 sent to an attorney in Washington and lost, and have only within a short time been recovered. Proceedings of a hoard of survey held at Macon, Ga., in obedience to the enclosed order. (Special orders No. 3-Extract) HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF COLUMBUS • Macon. · II. A board of survey is hereby convened into and assess damages sustained by citizens of this vicinity at the hands of United States troops. In each case the board will examine the premises carefully, take the testimony of witnesses, and report the nature of the damage THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 95 fully; when possible, the troops committing the same, and whether the same was occasioned by the neglect or carelessness of the officers or was unavoidable. The boa.rd will he composed of the following officers, viz.: Lieut. Col. J. H. Tompkins, Fourth Kentucky Mounted In- fantry. . Capt. John A. Roberts, Fourth Kentucky Mounted Infantry. Lieut. George H. Patten, Fourth Kentucky Mounted Infantry. The hoard will convene at these headquarters at 9 a. m. this morning. By command of Brigadier-General Croxton. W. A. Sutherland, Captain and A. A. G. The hoard met pursuant to the above order. Present: Lieut. Col. J. H. Tompkins, Fourth Kentucky Mounted In­ fantry; Capt. John A. Roberts, Fourth Kentucky Mounted In­ fantry; Lieut. George H. Patten, Fourth Kentucky Mounted Infantry. Samuel I. Gustin (citizen), being duly sworn, testifies that he has lost ( or was destroyed) by United States troops the following property: 600 feet of fencing lumber; 3000 rails,; 100 cords of wood; also, <;me frame building, with the machinery used for the manufacture of enameled cloth. Julius Peters (citizen), being duly sworn, testifies that the Fourth United States Cavalry made a road through Mr. Gustin's lands and destroyed a large quantity of rail-fencing from IO to 12 rails high. ' William Steinmetz, sergent Company G, Fourth United States Cavalry, being duly sworn, testifies that since on or about the 24th. day of April, 1865, the United States troops had been hauling wood from the lands of Mr. Gustin; has seen from four to six wagons hauling three or four days every week for two months; he is satisfied that over fifty cords of wood have been taken. Francis M. Seay (citizen), being duly sworn, testifies that on or about the 21st. day of Aptil, 1865, the enameled-cloth factory owned by Samuel I. Gustin, and valued at from $2,500 to $3,000, was ~urned by United States troops. Mrs. Francis M. Seay, being duly sworn, testifies that the enameled-cloth factory owned by Samuel I. Gustin was burned by Federal soldiers the day after General Wilson's command entered Macon. 96 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

The hoard then proceeded to examine the premises, and, after carefully investigating tl;te evidence, ~nd that Samuel I. Gustin has been damaged by United States troops to the amount of $2,529, and that said damage was unavoidable, except the factory; and no evi­ dence can he had as to what command the soldiers belonged to that destroyed it. J. H. Tompkings, Lieutenant-Colonel Fourth Kentucky Mounted Inf. John A. Roberts, Captain Company D, Fourth Kentucky Mounted Inf. George H. Patten, First Lieut. Company D, Fourth Kentucky Mounted Inf. Approved. . . John T. Croxton, Brigadier-General Volunteers. It does not appear that the enameled-cloth factory owned by Mr. Gustin, and for which he asks compensation, was de­ stroyed pursuant to the order of any competent military au­ thority, nor that its destruction was necessary to facilitate military operations. It does not certainly appear that it was destroyed by soldiers. It is probable that its destruction was the wanton and unauthorized act of soldiers. The board of sur'Vey was not able to ascertain by what troops it was burned. We cannot recommend any payment to be made for the destruction of said factory. Ought compensation to be made for the wood, lumber, and rails used or destroyed by the United States troops? On the 22nd. of April, 1865, General Wilson issued the order, already quoted, in which he directed.that "supplies .of all kinds are to be contracted for, and foraging upon the country will be discontinued. On the 24th. of April, 1865, the United States troops began hauling wood from the land of Mr. Gustin; and the continued to haul wood therefrom, with from four to six teams, three or four days every week for about two months. It does not appear that all the lumber, rails, and wood for which Mr. Gustin claims were used by the troops for fuel or for any other purpose. One witness testified that the THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 97

"Fourth United States Cavalry made a road through Mr. Gustin's lands, and destroyed a large quantity of rail-fencing, from ten to twelve rails high." It does not appear that any of the property was taken or destroyed pursuant to the order of any military officer. The finding of the board of review was "that Sa11mel I. Gustin had been damaged by United States troops to the amount of $2,529, and that said damage was unavoidable, except the factory, and no evidence can be had as to what command the soldiers belonged to that de­ stroyed the factory." The items going to make up the aggregate of damages, $2,529, were for the factory, $1,400; for rails, lumber, and wood, all reduced to cordwood, $1,129. It is a pretty close question as to whether compensation should he made for the wood. We certainly would not recommend it had it been taken prior to the date of the order of April 22, 1865, hut as it was taken after the promulgation of that order, and nearly .all was actually used by the Army, we have concluded to recommend its payment. We therefore report hack the hill and recommend its passage. 3. Dr. Richard Parker· Gustine, Graduate of Dickinson Col­ . lege, Class of 1805. Third child of Dr. Lemuel Gustine by his second wife.

THE HISTORY OF WILLIAM GUSTINE (The ancestor of the Author of this Book) Dr. Lemuel Gustine and his brother Dr. Joel Gustine had other brothers and sisters who settled also in The Cum­ berland Valley, Pennsylvania, at an early date. Indeed Wil­ liam Gustine ( the ancestor of the author of this book) is listed as one of the party who escaped from Forty Fort after the massacre-on the historic raft-referred to in connection with Dr. Lemuel Gustine exodus. The account from Hollis­ ter's Lack. Valley, page 157, is as follows: "Permission ·was given by the British Butler for some of the inmates of the fort to build a raft or a boat, and go down the Susquehanna. One was thus built by Dr. Samuel Gustin and James Sutton, near the fort, and on the morning of the 15th of July, 1778, James S., father of Mrs. Bradford, Polly, Deborah, and William Sutton, Louisa Burnham, a girl given to them, Dr. Gustin, his father, mother and one grand­ child, with Sarah, Polly, and William Gustin, a child given to the doctor, and his housekeeper, started from Forty Fort, in a boat or scow so leaky as to be impossible to keep it afloat without continual bailing. Landing for a short time at Northumberland, Dr. Gustin gave the little girl away, who, when she saw herself thus left, cried piteously after her late protectors. A Bible, a little clothing, and a scanty supply of com meal were all that was taken by the party in the boat. They landed at the ferry of Harris (now Harrisburg) with about $100 in Continental currency, and finding an empty house or cabin here, took pos­ session of it at once." 110 Wedding Picture of John Gustine Courson and Wife ( F<1th1·r and morh1•r of the author of this hooh)

THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 111

Both Captain Joseph Gustin and George Wilmot Gustin recorded the fact that in their opinion the father of Dr. Lem­ uel Gustine and his brothers and sisters was not Samuel ( often spelled Lemuel) who was "Reverend"-heing a mini­ ster-and the son of Samuel Gustine, Sr. Their opinions as I :find them among the notes from which I have compiled this book-are that this family of brothers and sisters are descended from Augustine Jean and wife Elizabeth Browne, through their third child John Gus­ tine, Jr., who married Mary ---instead of through Sam­ uel the second child of Augustine Jean and wife Elizabeth Browne. The author has had correspondence with several de­ scendants of Dr. Lemuel Gustine-all of whose records con­ tain the facts that Samuel (Lemuel) was their progenitor. That the father and mother also accompanied Dr. Lemuel Gustine down the Susqtiehannah River on the famous raft is recorded in the account just given above. John Gustine, Jr. and wife Mary, had sons, Amos, John, Jr., and "Reverend" Alpheus, whose history follows in the next (Jlapter. / The extensive land holdings of these sons and father near to the city of Hartford, Conn., seem to :figure intimately with the records of William Gustine and the five generations which have followed him. There has been in each generation a fund contributed that the inheritance of the ancestor Wil­ liam Gustine may he reclaimed. The land at this time ljes in the present city limits of Hartford, Connecticut, and has been known through the years since his death as "The Gardiner Estate." The solution as to the name of the father of Dr. Lemuel Gustine and his brothers and sisters, is probably in the fact that as was usual in those days-the father of Dr. Lemuel and his brothers and sisters-possessed a double name-one of which was Samuel ( often spelled with an "L"-making it Lemuel) and his other name was John or Amos. 112 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

Indeed Captain Joseph Gustin in some of his notes fav­ ored the idea that "Rev. Alpheus Gustin was the father-and that these children were by his first wife. "Reverend" ·Alpheus Gustin did own land at an early date-in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The author has given all the phases of this connection as she believes should be recorded in a "Compendium" such as this is intended to be-for the sake of oncoming genera­ tions-that all such may hereby untangle the matters of their lines of descent-by possessing every "clue" possible to be obtained. · . It is the hope of the author of this Compendium to be­ queath-to those who follow-such facts as may eventually be taken by others and woven into a perfect record. This book does not claim to be "perfect" the rather a laying out of the beautiful romance, which has been woven by our forebears, into a tapestry, like to a cloth of gold. The author's records state that the father was Amos Sam­ uel and the mother of William Gustine and his brothers and sisters was Patience Gardiner, the daughter of Darid Gardi­ ner and Martha Yo@g, who was the son of David Gardiner (1636-89). The first, :white child of English parents to be horn in Connecticut married Mary Learingmart. He was the son of the noted Lieutenant Lyonel Gardiner, proprietor of an island of his own-which is in the possession of the thirteenth Gardiner in succession, at the present day. This island has been known as "Gardiner Island" since he, became original possessor of it, having bought it from the Indians. At one time it was the hiding place of pirates, Captain Kidd having buried much of his plunder in one of its coves during the life of Lieutenant Gardiner. Lyonel Gardiner and his son David owned much land where Hartford, Connecticut now stands, indeed David Gardi­ ner is buried in the old cemetery in that city. William Gustine died about 1791 leaving two daughters ( whose names are not known) and three sons. His young THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM ll3 widow subsequently married a man by the name of .Bunker. They lived in Cumberland County until after the marriage of her Gustine sons-then she moved to Ohio, with her several Bunker children and her three Gustine sons. The surname was spelled with various spellings. The names of the three Gustine sons were as follows: 1. James Gustine who married Sarah Palm. The old family records have his name recorded as "Mr. James Augustine -who married Miss Sarah Palm, the daughter also the granddaughter of Doctor Palm."-(See attendant Palm History). 2. William Gustin who married Hannah Hipple. 3. Samuel Gustin who married Margery Anderson. Department of Public Instruction PENNSYLVANIA STATE LIBRARY AND MUSEUM FREDERIC A.

ANDREW BANKS ATTORNEY AT LAW Mifflintown, Pa., Juniata County Fehy. 10th., 1928. Mrs. Gustine Cour~on Weaver, McKinney, Texas. Dear Mrs. Weaver:- In searching over a history which I have, I find that William Gustine was first assessed Lack Township in 1774. This book gives the Lack Township assessments for 1763 showing the acreage for each for that year only. Thereafter it gives the additional assess­ ments for each succeeding year, but gives the names only of the parties assessed and not the acreage. In the additional assessment for 1774, I find the name of William Gustine. No further informa­ tion is given about him. It does not show what he is assessed for or anvthing-just his name given as among those assessed in Lack Town~hip for the year 1774. · The other party by the name of Gustine who appears upon our records was Amos Gustine. At one time, he was sheriff of our county-am not sure but believe he was the first sheriff Juniata County ever had. He was a prosperous man and at one time owned a grist mill which is still standing and doing business. I have been · there often. The mill is run by water power. He built the dam for the purpose of supplying the water power and I often heard my father speak of it as Gustine's dam. It was being built by Sheriff Gustine when father was a boy. Of course the name has long passed out. It is now known as Jerico dam. Very truly yours, Andrew Banks. Pennsylvania Library, Harrisburg, writes, Sept. 16, 1925: "There was a William Gustine taxed as late as 1782, in Lack Township, Cumberland Co. "There was- a man named Bunker taxed in the same township, but I am unable to locate any information relative to the families. There was one Abraham Bunker in 1790 in Cumberland County." 116 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

The church building was located on the S. W. corner of section 31 St. Clair township, and was 16 by 18 feet, with a fireplace 8 feet wide and 5 feet deep. · It was of log construction, and its furniture rude and simple, being handmade with such tools as the early settlers pos­ sessed. The building was used alike for church and school f~r thirty-five years. My ancestors were among the members who founded the con-· gregation and I have the church records from 1814 to 1858. Along about 1856 there was a division of the congregation, my forbears remaining with the original organization. Part of the members joined with the Rossville Presbyterian Ch,urch and later with the Zion Church. The earliest mention of the Bunker family in the records is the birth and baptism of David Bunker, son of Johannes and Cather­ ine Bunker, horn August 28, 1819, baptized May 5, 1820. Elizabeth Bunker, daughter of Johannes and Catherine Bunker, horn Jan. 25, 1822, baptized June 23, 1822. Sponsors for both were Jacob and Agnes Gerber. The last record of the Bunkers I find among a receipt to Johannes Bunker for $1.00 dated --- 12th. day 1820. So many of the records are in German, some badly faded and poorly written, there may he more referring to this family than I have been able to find. Clinton 0. Yeakle.

of Pennsylvania about 1795. She was born at Palmsettal, 16 miles east of Harrisburg, Pa., 1780, and died March 19, 1869 at Greenfield, Ohio. Sarah Palm was the daughter of John Palm, Jr., son of John Palm, Sr., who lived in the "Cumberland Valley on the Susquehannah River" in early days. Both were in the Revo• lutionary services. Today all that remains of this estate of the Palm family is a small hamlet situated about eight miles from Carlisle, known as Palmertown. The last descendant, living in those parts, of this old family was Prof. Austin Palm, who taught in Shippensburg, Pa., in the Cumberland Valley College. James and Sarah Palm Gustine came to Ohio from the Cumberland Valley, Pa., prior to 1810. Th~ir daughter, Sarah, was a babe in arms at this time, as Sarah Palm Gustine after told incidents of this wild and interesting trip through the dense forests-when she would oft-times tire of riding in the wagon and carrying her babe, she would trudge behind; once she was almost lost as dark came on, as she had been left far behind. This mother brought with her, in their ox-cart, a chest ( which descendants own today) that had in it her wedding shawl ordered by her father, Dr; John Palm, from France, a black silk dress, some real laces, and a set of pewter for her table use, with a few pieces of old Staffordshire blue porce• lain. Several of these articles are in the possession of the writer of these notes. Her father had given her a small legacy as a bridal gift. This was why they resolutely set their faces westward in order to buy new land and establish them­ selves as citizens in the unconquered wilderness.

STANLEY BILLIIEIMER, D. D. MR. HARVEY M. MOYER PASTOR SECRETARY PALM UNITED LUTHERAN CHURCH PALMYRA, PENNA. December 16, 1927. Mrs. Clifford Weaver, McKinney, Texas. Mv dear Mrs. Weaver: · Your note of the 11th was delivered to me here in Palmyra. I am not the pastor of the oldest church-Bindnagles, as it is called, after the man who donated the land on which it stands. That church, or the charge of which it now forms a part, is vacant; and has only sil:udent supplies. It happens, however, that I am able to give you some of the information desired. For some years, a Mr. Adam Keller was the organist, school teacher and sexton at Bindnagles. He was a well educated man, and interested in local history. Knowing that the 120 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

old records were in bad condition, he collected what he could and re-wrote them in English. He later moved to our town and united with our church here. Before his death, he turned over to me all his papers. From them I have gleaned the references to the Palm f am­ ily on the other sheets. The records are not consecutively complete. Owing to the generally unsettled conditions of those early days, some pastors, serving many churches, kept records in their own possession as they went from place to place. Some of these found their way into our historical libraries; others have been lost. The tide of German immigration to this country began about 1710, due to Romish intolerance in the Palatinate district. In 1713, we find 150 families transferred at Queen Ann's expense to the Liv­ ingston District in New York, and later to the Schoharie section to occupy lands given by the Mohawk chief, Quagnant. On account of some difficulties about the title of the lands, most of the immigrants undertook to find new homes, Going overland to the Susquehanna, they embarked on rafts, coming down to what is now Middletown, a few miles below Harrisburg. Here they turned their boats or rafts up the Swatara, landing about two miles north of our town, in 1723. They spread through this valley eastward as far as the Tulpehocken, and this movement resulted in the forming of several congregations. Bindnagles stands on the banks of the Swatara, near their landing place. The date given the church is 1745, though baptisllllj are recorded as early as 1733. The original church was built about this year, and the old communion utensHs are preserved. Later the log building was taken down' and the materials used for a dwelling in this town. The present church was built in 1803, a quaint brick building, with gallery, high pulpit, etc. The grave yard is in fairly good condition and still used for burials. It was to this settlement that Dr. Palm came. Heilbrun or "broun" is in the Neckar district of Wurtemburg. The first settlers seem to have been a distinct col­ ony, as they agreed to use the Baden Durlach Liturgy which they had used in Germany. I do not know where Dr. Palm lived. Possibly some one may know. His grave is marked at Bindnagles. It may interest you to know that Conrad Weiser was a member of this same colony and later made his home at Womelsdorf, below Lebanon. Our Lutheran patriarch, Muhlenberg, married his daughter. The pioneer pastor in this section was John Caspar Stoever, who lived about six miles to the East of us. His "home" church was known as "Hill," composed of members of this same group in 1733. Some of his records are still in existence; if possible to secure any more data on the Palm family, I will do so. I have not found the nam,e -Photo by Rev. Stanley Billheimer Interior of the Bindnagle Church, Palmyra, Penn.

Sarah on the Tuscaror Valley papers I have. Some of the family lived in Palmyra (first called Palmstown) and a William kept the first hotel and post office. Due to the growth of surrounding towns, the congregation of Bindnagles has dwindled to about 65 members. But regular services are held bi-weekly and Sunday School every week. Our church here was founded in 1845. I have not found the name Palm among the records. Another Lutheran church was started here in 1888. But the differences which separated us have fortunately been healed by the formation of the United Lutheran Church during the war. I came here a few years ago from Philadel­ phia and have united the two churches. Hence the word "United" in our title. There is no direct descendant of the Palm family here. 'rhe name seems to have died out. But I heard the name in Reading, among the boys of the school I attended. If at any time I am able to secure further information about the family, I shall preserve it for you. If I am right in assuming that your husband is Presbyter­ ian, he will be interested to know that the old Derry church is about two miles to the West, near what is now Hershey, though the old building has been replaced. We have a town here of about 5000, mostly interested in the shoe business. If I can he of any service to you during your proposed visit, I shall be glad to direct you to the old cemetery. Sincerely, Stanley Billheimer, 26 College St. John Palm, horn at Kfoster Heilbrun, Germany, July 25, 1713. Baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. Married in Ger­ many; one son.

REV. STANLEY BILLHEIMER, D. D. MR. HARVEY M. MOYER PASTOR SECRETARY PALM UNITED LUTHERAN CHURCH PALMYRA, PENNA. January 3, 1928. Mrs. Clifford Weaver, McKinney, Texas. My dear Mrs. Weaver: I enclose several pictures, with notes on the back. Though the headstone of the Palm grave has crumbled-it was of sand­ stone, the foot stone remains, marked "J. P." As this has always been pointed out as the grave of Dr. Palm, there can be no doubt as to its identity. The grave beside it has also lost the headstone. The footstone has three letters, the middle one doubtful; the last is "P," the first may be "G" or "C.'' Possibly it may be that of the second wife, C. S. P. I could not get a satisfactory view of the interior with my small camera. It takes more of a wide-angle lense. I en• close a card view of the interior, showing the communios. utensils, on the altar; the same ones which I took on the bench. The paint­ ings over the pulpit were added some years later. The church was first painted plain white, except the pews. · The original record in German, which I saw, gives Dr. Palm's birth as 1713. I am at a loss how to explain the difference between the church record and the printed genealogy as to the name of the third wife. The record gives the name twice; under family register and also under the heading of the burial of Dr. Palm, "Mrs. Eliza• beth Klein, widow." Enclosed find also the inscriptions on .several Palm graves near by. Some little liberty was taken with the language and spell­ ing, and also with the forms of the letters. Evidently some of the inscriptions were by local talent. I have been unable thus far to find any one who knows where Dr. Palm lived though I have interviewed several up in the eighties. I note that the Will was probated in Dauphin County Court, which suggests that the home may have been at the western end of the present town. The county line between Dauphin and Lebanon crosses that end of our town. I shall continue my inquiries. Sincerely, Stanley Billheimer. 124 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

THE FAMILY OF SARAH PALM GUSTIN 1. Matthias and Sibylla Palm, of the town of Heilsbronn, sometimes called Kloster, Heilsbronn, in the Electorate or Principality of Brandenburg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, were the parents of: 2. Doctor John Palm, born at above mentioned place, July 25, 1718. (This date is according to a pass, that he had, to go to Amsterdam, dated February 24, 1742). His birth is also recorded in the Bintennagel' s church record. He died April 25, 1799, at Palmyra, Londonderry town­ ship, Lebanon (Then Dauphin) County, Pennsylvania, aged 85 yrs. 9 mo. He is buried in the old church yard at Pal­ myra, Pa. Christiana Dorothea Palm, wife of Dr. John Palm, was the daughter of Jacob Andrew Kern. She was born in Back­ nag, near Struttgard, Wurtenburg, July 1, 1709. They were married August 2, 1740. She died in 1747 or 1754, whether in Bavaria or in New Jersey, I do not know which. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 125

NOTE-Doctor John Palm then married a Catherine Salome Fenger, with whom he came to America, bringing his four children by his first wife. This Catherine Salome died at Palmyra, Pa., in 1764, and he again married. This, the third wife was Elizabeth Williams, a widow. She died at Palmyra, Pa., Nov. 20, 1815. (Follows the personal note of Elizabeth Williams; she is not of our lineage, being only the step-mother of our ances­ tor, but she was an interesting woman. This taken from the History of Berks and Lebanon Counties, Pa., page 72). "Hanover, Lancaster Co., Pa., Aug. 11, 1757, Monday 8th. On Wednesday, we intended to rest, but at about 12 o'clock had another ·alarm. Near Benjamin Clark's house, four miles. from the mill, two Indians surprised Isaac Wil­ liams' wife and the widow Williams. They killed and scalped the former in sight of the house, she having run a little way, after three balls had been shot through her body. The latter (Elizabeth Williams, the widow) they carried away captive." In the Colonial Records from 1762 at page 750, Vol. VIII, the following account is given of her restoration. "At a conference with The Norther Indians, held at Lancaster, on Thursday, 19th., of August, 1762, (some reports here are given), then the report states the conference then broke up, and the Governor, his Counsel, and the Commissioners, went with some Indian Chiefs to the Court House to receive the prisoners, where being come, the Governor acquainted Thomas King that he was now ready to receive the prisoners, from him, and that they need not be under apprehensions of being ill used, for that he should be kind to them, and treat them like children, and restore them to their parents and relatives. Then they delivered to Lieut. Gov. Hamilton, Esq. ( un­ der Hon. Thomas Penn and Richard Penn, Proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania) at the hands of "King Beaver," Elizabeth Williams, a young woman delivered up by Mus­ sauge, a Munsy Indian, also Henry Williams, about 18 years old ( a brother or son of Elizabeth Williams), delivered by Canyhocheroto-Quin, a Munsy. 126 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

She had therefore been a captive, amongst the Delaware or Leuni (Lenni) Lenare tribe for five years, an account of her restoration to her friends is also given in the history of Berks and Lebanon Counties, on page 345. After her mar­ riage with Doctor• Palm, he often in a playful way, called her "My Indian Squaw." Her will is recorded at Lebanon, Pa., dated Nov. 25, 1815. She gave all her estate to her sons, Nicholas and John Williams, to her daughters, Mary Doll, Rebecca Palm, and Dalilah Palm, and to her grand-daughter, Catherine Shougher. So much for the note on the step-mother of our ancestor, John George Palm). 3. John George Palm was born at Backnag Wurtemberg, July 28, 1741. Wife, Barbara Bettleyone. ( As notes above say he was brought to America by his father, Dr. John Palm, and his step-mother, Catherine Salome Fenger in company with his brothers, Ludwig, Frederick, and Godfried Andrew, and sister Christiana Dorothea). John Georp;e Palm married Barbara Bettleyone, and had one son and three daughters. 4. Sarah Palm (Sallie) horn 1781, married Jaines Gustine ( or Augustine) and moved in 1810 to New Lancaster, Ohio. ( See Gustine Genealogy for James Gustin) . John George Palm's other children settled in Tuscarora Valley, Juniata Co., Pa. They are an illustrious faniily, hut it would he im­ possible to copy all the data regarding them. Several of Sarah Palm Gustin's cousins migrated to Ohio, in the early days. There were nine Dr. Palms, de­ scended from this one man, among the records that I have. In John Gustine Courson's line of Gustines, there are some dozen Dr. Gustine, descended from our ancestor, Rev. Samuel Gus­ tine. It is small wonder that John Gustine Courson always longed to he a physician. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 127

BIOGRAPHICAL-DOCTOR JoHN PALM Dr. John Palm, a German Physician, eldest son of Mat­ thias and Sibylla Palm, was horn in Hielshronn, in the Elec­ torate or Principality of Brandenburg, near Nuremburg, in the middle of Franconia, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, July 25, 1718. Heilshronn derived its name from a well, once cele­ brated for its healing propensitites. The name of "Kloster Heilsbronn" was derived from the monastery instituted there in the year 1132. The Monastery was subdued and plund­ ered in 1631, and most of the buildings were destroyed. It _was one of the richest and finest monasteries of Germany. It is the burial place of most of the Rulers of the House of Bran- denburg, Ansbach, and Nuremburg. In 1771, the Luthern Church was established here, since which time that church has held the sway. Heilsbronn has about 1200 inhabitants. Frederick VI, Count of Hohenzollern, and Markgrag of Nurembnrg, became possessed, partly by purchase and partly by investiture from the Emperor, of the Brandenburg lands, which in his favor were constituted into an Electorate. Thi@ Prince, known as the Elector Frederick I, received his in­ vesture in 1417. So much for the birthplace of Doctor John Palm, which was the home of Matthias and Sibylla Palm. These early ancestors are also buried at this historic place. About the year 1739 Dr. John 'Palm took up his resi­ dence at Backnang, near Stuttgard, in Wurtemberg, where he was married to Christiana Dorothea, daughter of Jacob A. Kern, Aug. 2, 1740. His parents being poor, he here worked in a stocking factory for several years. On the 24th day of Feb. 1742, his father sent him to Amsterdam, in Holland, to see his (father's) brothers, John George Palm, who was with­ out family, and had accumulated a large fortune, in the em­ ploy of the East India Company of Amsterdam. He did not see his uncle, as he had sailed as Captain, in one of the com­ pany's ships for India. Being in poor health when he sailed, he probably died on the voyage or in India. How, or to whom his property was disposed of, is not 128 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

known. His brother, Matthias ( our ancestor above referred to) would have been the legal heir, but he never received it. The amount is said to have been several millions of Gulden and was probably taken possession of by the Government of Holland. NOTE-According to Margaret Schmidt's statement (who was a des­ cendant of Matthias or Sibylla· Palm's daughter, Maria Barbara, who remained with the parents in the native town of Heilsbronn) attem~ts were made to recover the estate of this John George Palm by Matthias and his descendants through "Herr Pfarrer Stadelmann," between the years 1791 and 1895, but owing to some misunderstandings between the parties, the matter was abandoned. It was probably soon after his return from Amsterdam, that John Palm commenced the study of medicine in Wur­ temhurg, being no doubt assisted by his friends there, as there are quite a number of Palms in Wurtemhurg even now, most of whom are Physicians and Druggists. He left his native country for America in the summer of 1750, as the name of John Palm is on the passenger list of the "ship Patience," the Captain being Hugh Steel from Rotterdam, late from Cowes. Said ship arrived August 11, 1750, and his entry into the church records of Bintennagel, afterwards Palmyra Co., Pa., coincide with this date. Germany ( especially the upper part) at the commencement of the 17th century, contained many Protestants-Moravians, Schwenk folders, Mennomites, Dun- · kards, or 7th Day Baptists, and Lutherans, who after fleeing in vain from one Principality to another, to avoid persec1.1- tion, found an asylum in the new land. Many settled in the upper part of New Jersey in the vicinity of Elizabeth and Springfield. Here John Palm took up his abode. His wife died between the year 1747 and 1754. About the year 1754, he married Catherine Salome Fenger. She bore him two sons, one Jacob, horn 1755, near Springfield, New Jersey, and February 18, 1761, a son, Peter, born near Elizabeth, New Jersey. NoTE--John George Palm, eldest son of Dr. John Palm, took the oath of allegiance and fidelity under the Act of Assembly, 1777, Ju,n~ 18th., ~fore .John Thomas, · THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 129

In the meantime, through Wm. Penn's offer of free re­ ligious toleration, thousands flocked to Pennsylvania, many at once settled in Lancaster County ( near Lebanon Co.) where Dr. Palm settled with his family, and commenced to improve his farm and practice medicine. His son, John George, was at this time 25 years of age and accompanied his father. · , - Lancaster Co., Pa., was a new place, being the fourth county founded in the State, which was organized in 1729, Philadelphia, Bucks and Che~ter, being the three original counties. On the 17th. day of June 1766, Dr. John Palm bought 100 acres of land from Conrad Raish in Lebanon tp., Lancaster, ( now Lebanon County)· Pa. That part of the coun­ try at that time was still a wilderness, the last Indians having left only three years before~ In the course of a few years, quite a settlement sprung up in that place, and gradually a village which received the name of Palmstown, or Palmsettle (so named after Dr. Palm). There must have been by this time quite a family by that name as Dr. Palm himself was the father of four children by his first wife, all of whom were old enough to be married, and a son Tobias by his second wife. The name of this settlement has since changed to Palmyra, though it is still frequently called by its old name. In 1764, Catherine, his second wife, died. Being nearly 60 years old when the Revolutionary· War broke out, he was too old to take an ac­ tive part in the struggle, though he was at the battle of Brandywine, S~pt. 11, 1777. He was probably attached to General Green's Division, which was posted as a reserve, between Sullivan and Wayne to reinforce either, as circum­ stances might require. He used to relate how Washington on a white horse came riding up, encouraging his men. Sept. 27, 1777, he took the oath of allegiance and fidelity under the Act of Legisla- 130 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM ture of 1777, before John Thomas. About the year 1785 or 1790, he was married for the third time to Elizabeth Wil­ liams, a widow. Son also died here. He hall an extensive practise, and owing to the country being thinly settled, it was very laborious. Patients frequent­ ly came from long distances, to consult with him. The medi­ cines he used were mostly of vegetable extraction. Having an extensive laboratory, he prepared most of his own medi­ cines. He distilled his own essential oils, waters, etc;, from herbs and flowers. Being a contemporary of Boerhave, he adopted many pf his theories and doctrines and placed much reliance on the appearance of the excretions in disease, especially that of the kidneys. He was also a contemporary of Linnaeus, Cullen, San Wages, Van Sweiten, and De Haen. His medical works were mostly by German Authors, one of which, Matered Medico, owned by Dr. Philip R. Palm, is over 300 years old. On the inside cover of which is the date of his birth, death, and place of burial. In his passport of February 24th., 1742, he is described as being 24 years of age, medium size, light hair, and wearing a brown coat. He was confirmed into the Lutheran Church. He died at Pal­ myra, Pa., April 25,, 1799, having practised medicine in this new country, one half a century. His will was dated August 1796, the codicil Dec. 10, 1797, and probated by Reg. of Wills, Sept. 5, 1799, at Harrisburg, Pa. 5. James Gustine and Sarah Palm's children. 1. Mary. 2. Hannah. 3.

1863, mustered out July 5, 1865. He attended Abingdon College, as did his wife, Sarah Frances Boydstun. This col­ lege subsequently became incorporated into Eureka College, from which their daughter, Gustine Courson and her husband, Clifford Selden Weaver, graduated in the class of 1900- going from there to Japan as missionaries (1900-1907). John David Lockie, the grandson of these early college students, is at the present time a student in this same college. John Gustine Courson's lineage, from his father, John Courson, the husband of Hannah Gustine, reaches back in un­ broken generation to the Huguenot refugee, Peter Courson, who landed at New Amsterdam in 1611. Members of this family are entitled to membership in the Huguenot Society of America.

The coat of arms of ·the Courson family is three owls facing you upon a background of gold, with the motto: "Tou­ jours Droit Courson." This banner was carried in one of the Crusades by de Curzon. The Courson family were of Bretagne (Brittany) France. They were ancient, influential, and possessors of large landed estates, as the land records there indicate. The lineage of Sarah Frances Boydstun may he seen in the volume "The Boydstun Family" ( Compiled by Gustine Courson Weaver).

In the Staten Island, New York, paper of Monday, May 13, 1929, an account of the selling of the original "Courson• Vanderbilt Mansion," which has been a landmark in Staten Island for several generations, is of interest. The story is printed in the above-mentioned newspaper of the selling of the old mansion and the plot of ground it stands on for $226,000. It was owned by the Vanderbilts at the date of selling-hut the house had been originally erected generations ago-by the Coursons who were neighbors of the Vanderbilts. As both Captain Cornelius Courson and Cap­ tain Cornelius Vanderbilt plied ferries across to Manhattan Island-there is a bit of romance connected with this old / house which vanishes forever when it is razed. A new the- atre building is to take its place. The author of this book is a lineal descendant of Cap­ tain Cornelius Courson and it is through him that her mem­ bership in The Huguenot Society of America-is traced back to the original Courson Immigrant, Peter Courson, who came to America in 1611. As this hook goes to press Mrs. Weaver sends the publishers this data, hoping that by preserving this bit of history she may preserve the romance of a rare friend­ ship which has been shared by her and a lineal descendant of Captain Cornelius Vanderbilt, through a long period of happy years. It is of this original neighborhood and its early days that the poem which has been so widely read and used with acceptance by Historic Societies, was written by Mrs. Weaver and it is to be found in one of her books, of poems called "The Minister's Wife," Powell and White, Publishers, Cincinnati, Ohio. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 135

The poem is called "Huguenot Daughters" and is dedi­ cated to her long time friend Mrs. Alice, Vanderbilt Morris (Mrs. Dave Hennen Morris).

HUGUENOT DAUGHTERS (To Mrs. Alice Vanderbilt M-)

The shining wonder in your face Is mine, my friend-as I Look up at your portrait from my desk. Through gleaming years Of sun and snow and toil Your lineage can he traced Back to the first white settler Who first heard the blue birds Note on Staten Island. You-you are A Daughter of the Huguenots.

The ship that plowed the dreary Atlantic Some years before the May Flower sailed Brought Maritje Van Der Vleet And Maritje Jacobs Van Der Grift. These two good dames, your ancestress and mine Came they with their God-fearing husbands. In the wee wooden vessel with taut sails And thus we both are Daughters of the Huguenots.

Then-next on Staten Island Neeltje Van Der Built And Tryntje Courson Were wived unto those women's sons. 136 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

There together did these four women Spin their home grown wool And buck their home grown Hanks of linen. hemp In kits of liquid walnut colors, Or was it liquid blue from petals Of wild iris or sweet wild violet petals? Red did they make froni madre And from the sassafras Their tints of chrome, they made.

The radiance of the neighborliness 0£ these women, as they moved About their daily household tasks In cabins built of logs- Shines in our hearts today Adown the centuries- We are their daughters,- You and I. In that crude churchhouse Built hard by their dwellings, Made of logs, they worshipped God. A joyful note arose through the bi:anches- 0£ those primeval forest trees- As these women sang together. While their fearless husbands Fingered flintlock an:d gun . And prayed. Then most joyously did these women watch Their children play together On puncheon floor, And did they weep as Side by side they stood By a new made grave In that virgin turf of Staten Island. The original Courson-Vanderbilt "mansion" sold in 1929 for $226,000. A theatre is to be erected on the site.

The roof trees of their houses Did their men folk raise together Between them, each beloved Neighhor,.as a lift unto the other.

Centuries old, a mammoth tree Today sh.elters one such mansion Which still hears these, our family names, Yours and mine. We are Daughters of those Huguenots.

It was my sire whose ferry First plied the Hudson River With his oars,- And with your sire-oft Looked across to Manhattan's Densely wooded hanks While wild fowl Above them flew to north or south.

Then God, the Great Good Ferryman, Towed their weary harks Unto The Eternal Haven- Their tired bodies lie Neighbor still in death In the churchyard Where they lived and loved As Huguenots in Staten Island.

'Tis thus small wonder When we sit together, you and I, Or walk-or talk together That, at times We catch a heavenly whisper Like the voice of angels, saying, To our hearts- 138 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

James Gustine was a cripple from his youth to his death, This. was caused by an accident that happened to him when he was taking bags of wheat to the grist mill for his widowed mother, when they lived in Pennsylvania. He was so small that, as he leaned from his horse to empty his bag of wheat into the hopper, he was caught in the cogs; and one of his legs injured thereby. · His grandchildre1,1 all remembered him lovingly and ad­ miringly as an indefatigable worker-hobbling about good naturedly on his cane. He was adept at cutting corn in· his fields every autumn and as well as stacking his own grain, with the assistance of his children. His wife, Sarah, was a frugal and industrious help­ mate. They bought 160 acres of land on August 11, 1810, in Highland County, upon which the log barn they erected and the stone house they subsequently built (about 1825) still stands. In September 1910, John Gustine Courson, who played on these hills when a young lad-as did his mother, Hannah Gustine Courson, when a young girl, journeyed - to this place. He took his daughter, Gustine Courson Weaver to this old home to visit the historic spot. From the THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 141

same spring which James Gustine and Sarah Palm walled up, from which they drank when their caravan encamped at the end of their overland journey, this father and daughter drank. Thus four generations of Gustines have quaffed the waters of this delightful spring. James and Sarah Gustine belonged to the "Hop Run" Associated church which location is a short distance east from the present town of Greenfield, Ohio, near a small branch that in early days was called "Hop Run/' It had its name from the abundance of aromatic wild hops that were festooned over the branch or "run." Here in a log meeting house, these devout Presbyterians worshipped God. . All that remains of the old site is a three cornered spot, which rightly might he called "God's Acre." A few crumbling headstones tell to the passer-by that sacred ground is here. Whispering cedar trees, now grown to maturity, bespeak the tender hearts who, in early days, when the buffalo roved the prairie, and the Indian brand­ ished his tomahawk, planted the young trees by-new made graves, and watered them with tears. In this old church yard, James and Sarah Gustine buried ~everal of their young chil­ dren who died of childish diseases, being too tender for the cold draughts of the log houses with the long winter months of exposure. Subsequently they built a stone house, a short distance west of the present town of Greenfield, Ohio, in 1838. This was quite a mansion for folk in those parts at that time. They had disposed, some years before this event, of their land east of Greenfield, situated on Hop Run. · The scriveners entered the name into the records with­ out the customary "e" that had heretofore been used by this branch of the family, indeed James had usually signed his name "James Augustine." The records of the First Presbyterian Church at Green­ field, Ohio, today show the following entry from The Original Hop Run Church membership: "Received Sept. 16, 1820 142 THE GUSTINE COMPEN,DIUM

from Hop Run Reformed Associated Church, James Gustin and Sarah Palm Gustin." _ "Sarah Gustine by profession and baptism, March 19, 1869. Mary Gustin by profession and baptism, May 9, 1822. Jane Gustin by profession and baptism, June 2, 1838. Eliza Ann Gustin by _profession and baptism, Feb. 29, 1840. Hannah Gustin Courson by profession and baptism, , Jan. 1849. John Courson by profession and baptism, 1855-(Hannah's husband)." All of the children of James Gustine and Sarah Palm Gustine, as these records show, subsequently became mem• bers of this church. The parents and many of these children are buried in the old cemetery beside the old brick church in Greenfield, Ohio. My own grandmother, Hannah Gustine Courson, handed down to us some precious pieces of old Blue Staffordshire china, as well as some pink and white pieces of The Tuscan Rose porcelain of Colonial days. When I visited, with my father, John Gustine Courson, other descendants of James Gustine and his wife Sarah Palm Gustine, I happened onto some interesting bits of the romance of the womanhood of those days. Their homes were built in the primeval forests. Bridle paths lead to the settlements, many times far distant from these log houses. What undauiited courage did these women have on their quest for the beautiful. How deep seated was their love for objects with which they might adorn their homes and their lives. The following is a true depiction of some of the adven­ tures of this family of girls, whose mother possessed an edu­ cated mind and an appreciative heart-for all that was high and noble and beautiful. NoTE--The author of this volume has written a book of seven pageants called "Hop-Run," published by Powell & White of Cincinnati, Ohio, in which she has depicted much of the Colonial and later history of those days and personages. , All of the interesting and thrilling stories are true rehearsals built out of family traditions, and recorded his­ tory, kept by this family, through the years. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 143

, This mother, Sarah Palm Gustine and her six girls, in 'the early days, rode horse back to the trading post which was at that time the State Capitol, Chillicothe, and this was a jour­ ney of 20 miles, through the dense forest and over the pre­ cipitous Ross County hills. Today the drive about Greenfield, Ohio is wonderfully picturesque. Each of the six girls possessed her own basket. Thus armed with eggs and butter, their caravan moved slowly and happily, on its way-after the coveted piece which, one by one, was thus purchased-until each daughter possessed her full set of Staffordshire or Tuscan Rose china. . - They sold butter for a "fip" a pound ( 6½c) and eggs never for more than a "bit" ( 12½c). Surely rides on horseback twenty-one mi~es, with eggs and butter, and a return of twenty-one miles, with precious dishes, should make the descendants of these sturdy women proud of their heirlooms. So frugal did this mother become through the years that, long after her daughters had settled down in homes of their own-_and even great-grandchildren clung to her knees-she yet made butter and sold eggs to her customers in the nearby town. She no longer needed to add to her collection of Sta£· fordshire or Tuscan Rose, so she acquired a habit of hiding all this butter and egg money. After her death, these pieces of money were found in every conceivable place of secretion about the Stone House; and, upon emptying her straw bed ticks-in one alone over $30.00 worth of three cent pieces and other small coins had been tucked away by her. My father ( one of her grandchildren) recalled many vivid scenes, some of which I will insert-to prove to those today, who abide in such luxury, that the pioneers also had much joy and merriment as their days went by. Several of the married daughters had settled near their parents in the Old Stone House. Jane, who married Caleb Parshall, was one of them. They all used the same spring, or little run, for their water supply. 144 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

One day Caleb Parshall had hitched the horses to a wagon-a new wagon that belonged to his wife's brother, James Ross Gustine ( wagons were a luxury in those days). All of the children ( the four small Parshall boys) were in the wagon. They were playing with the lines. The horses began to hack, and, as it was steep, finally the wagon, horses, chil­ dren, and all fell over backwards down the bank. Jane, ( the mother of the children), at last after the excitement was over, came up triumphantly saying to her mother that none of the children were hurt. "Well, what about James' wagon? Don't be so happy over the children's not getting hurt. The _greatest thing is, is James wagon broken?" You see, in those early days, wagons were scarce and dear, and children plenti­ ful and cheap. The daughter, Sarah (born 1809), who subsequently married John Crubaugh, was a jolly leader in all of the pranks the eight children enjoyed so thoroughly. She always thought she could do anything anybody else could. It surely was true that she had wonderful ability, for her brothers and sisters in after· years always said that Sarah could make or do anything she attempted, with superior skill. When a child, one Sabbath, her father and mother, James and Sarah Gustine, went to the Presbyterian Church in Greenfield, leaving behind them this family of children. Sarah decided she would become a fortune teller, and, with the younger brothers and sisters as witnesses, she procured the "Good Bible" ( as they called the large Bible), which was laid away for special occasions; upon this she stood and took her vow that she could and would tell fortunes. At this critical time in the vow, the parents were seen to approach from their Sab­ bath worship. The children scampered away, and poor Sarah fell over the "Good Bible," and sprained her ankle badly. Her father had such compassion for her that he hobbled to her, leaning on his own cane, and picked her up and carried her back into the house; however, upon finding the real cause of the trouble, he used his cane on her! James Gustine's brother, William, and wife, Hannah Hipple, were also settlers at Hop Run and members not only of that church but later on of the First Presbyterian Church at Greenfield, Ohio. In 1843, they moved to Illinois. William Gustine was born 1781,- died Jan. 9,, 1868 at Bernadotte, Illinois, on Spoon River. He married Hannah Hipple in 1805. A few years after James and Sarah Palm Gustine bought land. in this new country, their crop not being so plen­ tiful they decided to sell some of their acreage. · So William Gustine and Hannah Hipple bought of them a tract of land that lies in a picturesque slope, now known as "Sheep Pen Church and Cemetery"-a short distance west of Greenfield. William Gustine's barn had been built, but he put no roof on it. He used it for his sheep pen. The family re­ ferred to it as "The Sheep Pen." Shortly after when the settlers decided to organize a school district, he donated this "sheep pen" for a school house, and had a roof put on it. It was called "Sheep Pen School"-a church naturally fol­ lowed, at which time William and Hannah Hipple Gustine deeded the lot and building to "The Sheep Pen Association" for church and cemetery- purposes. All of their descendants spelled the name without the final "e." Their children were: 1. James, born 1807, married Susan Gwin Swan, Nov. 21, 1826. 2. John, married Mary Childers. 3. Amos, died 1882. Had 10 children, among them: Walter Gustin of Canton, Illinois. Mrs. E. Matheny, Lewistown, Ill. 4. Richard married Amanda Sedval. 145 146 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

Excerpt from pages 821 and 822 of "Biographical An­ nals of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania," published 1905. "Archibald and Hannah (Gustine) (Holcomb) Loudon, had two daughters and one son. The son was named James and was born March 2, 1799, in a house which stood on West Main Street, where Horn's drug store now stands. The house was a two story log structure and. was. painted white, from which circumstance it was known as "White Hall." Being the only son, he naturally came Jnto possession of his father's printing, publishing, and drug business. Later he added to his stock books and stationery, and continued in business at that place until he was obliged to retire because of the infirmities of old age. After the death of his father, and the place descended to him, "White Hall" was torn down to make way for a more modern building. "White Hall" had been built in the early days of Carlisle's existence, when timber in the vicinity was yet abundant, and the logs in it had seasoned to a hardness that was the surprise and comment of all who examined them, · The building that took its place was of brick,. and the first in Carlisle to have a pressed brick front. Tl1e pressed brick was brought from Harris­ burg, and the skilled mechanics who laid them were also brought from a distance. Tl1e ·white sand with which the mortar was made was brought from Philadelphia and the bricklayers took special 156 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM pains to have the walls exactly right, making frequent use of the spirit level and plumb bob. In this building James Loudon for many years kept the only book and stationery store that was in Carlisle. He also did bookbinding, was express ag,ent, and carried on a large and prosperous business. He was active and prominent in the affairs of the town, was a member of the town council, borough treasurer, treasurer of the hoard of poor directors and upon one occasion was a candidate for county treasurer on the Whig ticket. He was a musician of more than ordinary ability and could play upon nearly every musical instrument he had on sale jn his store. Dr. Isaac Snowden, of Hogestown, was married to Miugery Loudon, daughter of Archibald Loudon, of Silver Spring township, and with his wife would sometimes visit James Loudon and family. The Doctor was also a good musician and was fond of playing upon the flute. Seeing the flutes in the store he would select one, and with James Loudon as accompanist on another flute or a clarionet Wpuld make a melody that would resound up and down the street ·a:nd ·at-• tract clusters of people about the store door.

J.: "The little hamlet of Augusta located upon the East Branch of the Paulinskill was once the center of commercial interest for the townships. The earliest settler to develop its advantages was Hugh Hagerty who came about 1750 and lo­ cated on lands which h~ cultivated and upon which he re­ sided until his death. It was later ( 1785) sold by his heirs to Col. John Gustin, who also purchased the property form­ erly owned by John Stoll." "The united estates at that time composed about four hundred acres of the finest farming lands in the county. "The Gustin family formerly conducted extensive busi­ ness interests at this point. The Colonel having been a man of intelligence and influence. In politics he was the autocrat of the neighborhood and exercised an imperious sway over his followers. A Post-Office was early established here with the Col. as P. M., and a tavern offered hospitality to travelers. Very soon afterwards mercantile enterprises dawned upon the hamlet. Later the town was rendered famous by Abram Bray as a resort. Obadiah Pellet opened a store in 1812. A THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 161 mill was successfully managed during the career of Col. Gus­ tin, and an ashery is also remembered by early residents. No vestige of former enterprise is now to be seen in the hamlet, and a Post Office is the only reminiscence of its early import­ ance. The Presbyterian Church was organized in 1820 and in 1827 Col. John Gustin generously donated an acre of land at Augusta for a building. The first congregation convened on the 3rd. Sabbath of May, 1820, and among the 23 members then received were Susan and Margaret Roe, Mary Struble, and Sarah Gustin. The church edifi<::e was a plain and sub­ stantial one, comfortably seating two hundred people. It was sold in 1875, and devoted to the uses 0£ a barn." Col. Gustin having he~n Sheriff of the County, Member of the Legislature, etc., was looked up to as a leader of the Federal Party in the Co. His house was then a great resort for all the noted, men in that region, who came to consult with him on politician interests and public improvements. Among his guests was De Witt Clinton, Governor· of New York and the father of the Erie Canal scheme. His object in visiting Augusta was to confer with Col. Gustin in regard to practic­ ability of building a canal from the drowned lands on the line of the state of New York through New Jersey along the Wall­ kill, Papakating and Paulinskill to the Delaware River, near Columbia. The line was surveyed and found to be a very feasible one, hut for some reason was :finally abandoned. Horatio N. Gu,stin, the Colonel's youngest son, accompanied Clinton's surveyors as a chain hearer, this being the first step in what resulted in fixing his vocation for life, that of a civil engineer.

"I have never known Mr. Miles Gardner Graham, of whom you speak; never heard of him before. Your reference to the name "Gardner" reminds me that one "Amos Gustin" married in 1778 to Lydia Gardiner, of Gardiner's Isle, where she was born 1751 and died 1825 at German Flats, Madison Co., New York. He was born 1755 at Colchester, Conn., and died 1825 ( a few months after his wife) at German Flats. They lived for many years at Bozrah ( now Bozrahville), Conn., eight miles east of Colchester-where their eldest son, Gardiner Gustin, was horn January 27, 1779. This Amos was a Rev. War Soldier (vide "Official Record of Connecti­ cut Men, 1775-'83" by the Adjutant General's Office, Hart­ ford, Conn., 1889, pp. 192 and 555). He is a son of Thomas Gustin, Jr., and a grandson of Thomas and Sarah (Holmes) Gustin, of Colchester, who was a son of John and Elizabeth (Browne) Gustin, of Falmouth;-i. e., Augustine Jean. This Amos is not of your line nor of mine." "I also find the name of Stephen Gardner, as one of the Susquehanna settlers and in the Gardiner genealogy. This Stephen, or rather a Stephen, who might be the one spoken of in the Susquehanna records, had a son David, and this David's son, David, Jr., married Jemima Gustin. They lived near Gardiner's Lake, and he owned some farm land there." John-and Mary Gustin's fourth child Jemima married David Gardiner, had six children, among them Amy who married Nathaniel Otis.

It is claimed there were five sons. The following are prob­ ably not the order of their birth ( another record states there were 12 children in all). 1. Amos, born probably in Florida, N. Y., Sept. 7, 1755. He settled at Blue Lick, Ky., where he married Susannah Jones. He settled in Ohio, Adams County, in 1802. Amos, as were three of his brothers, was in the army of the Revolution. He was in the Battle of the Cowpens under General Morgan and was wounded in the shoulder. He THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 175

received a pension of $96. per year in 1819, when at the age of 68, which would make him to have been born in 1751 instead of 5. 2. John. He settled soon. after the Revolution in the Juniata Valley, Pa., at Lost Creek. Among his descendants is Hon. Amos (?). 3. Alpheus, Jr. came to Virginia with father from Florida, N.

Landes, whom she was then visiting; and from which, I extract the following: The given name of Hon. Amos Gustine's paternal grandfather is not kn~wn. She does not know when or where her father, Hon. Amos Gustine, was horn; of whom she is the only surviving (October 16. 1897) child. The father (Note-the father-.George Wilmot Gus­ tin) of Hon. Amos Gustine was John Gustine, who died near Richmond, Jefferson County, Ohio, and is buried in Rich­ mond (Ohio). His wife's maiden name was Mary Blair. Place and date of his birth, and date of his death are not known. She says: "My father ( Amos Gustine Y had a brother named William, another named John, and I think there was another named Lemuel, but am not sure. Uncle William I think lived in New Orleans and had a first and sec­ ond wife, but do not know who they were. Uncle John was married twice too. I think he died in Missouri. Lemuel died young, think he was not married. There were two sisters, Aunt Rebecca Freeborn and Aunt Elizabeth Nesbitt. I do not know of any other brothers or sisters." Children of Hon.

About the year 1777, during the Revolutionary War, Eli­ phalet and his wife ( nee Whitman), in company with some other persons, started overland from Sussex Co., N. J., for Canada with a view to locating there. They were never again heard of. The entire party is supposed to have been mas­ sacred while en route by Indian allies of the British, who during that period infested portions_ of the intervening region and trails. Their two youngest sons, for some reason un­ known, did not accompany them; but were left behind in Sus­ sex Co., N. J., with his brother Benajah (a lame man} and his wife Anna, who had no children of their own, by whom they were reared. These two sons were: John, born, November 15, 1762, in Sussex Co., N. J.; married first Abigail Smith, of Sussex Co., N. J., who was born March 27, 1766. Soon after marriage John and his wife, on horseback, left New Jer­ sey and· went to Canada to ascertain, if possible, the fate of his parents who had never reached their destination hut had perished somewhere on the road thereto. The search was fruitless, and the fate of the entire party has ever remained shrouded in mystery; no trace or tidings of any member thereof having divulged the secret of the forest to account for their tragic ending. For some years, after their disappear­ ance had become manifest, diligent search was likewise made by others who were interested, hut with results entirely barren. 195 196 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

It may, therefore, be said that the graves of Eliphalet Gustin· and his wife, if they ever did receive burial, are as much lost to knowledge of livir!g men as the sepulchre of Moses in the land of Moab. John and Abigail, at the expiration of their sear~h, settled (prior to 1800) at Long Point, Norfolk Coun­ ty, Province of Ontario, Canada. He owned and operated a grist-mill; one near Vittoria and another near Wyndham,­ both in Norfolk Co., Ontario. Abigail died a few years be­ fore he did, and he married the second time.

ADDENDA BY THE AUTHOR Attached to these notes, I find fragments of data by George Wilmot Gustin, which I gather together-as he seemed to think that George of La Fayette, N.

He had sons: Alpheus and John. 206 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

Now, Alpheus Gustin of Augusta claimed that George Gustin of La Fayette was a son of the elder Eliphalet. The sons of_ the George Gustin think their grandfather's name was Timothy Gustin. There must have been a generation be­ tween the elder Eliphalet and this George. Children of George Gustin: 1. Alpheus, Detroit, Mich., married Sarah Price; two chil­ dren: ( 1) Daughter, Malvine. ( 2) Son, Morfora. (NOTE-See Sarah Price below. Do not know which entry is correct. G. C. W.) 2. Thomas, Imlay City. Son, John E. 3. Matilda, married Templeton; they were the grandparents of Fay Templeton the opera singer. · 4. Loranah married Tuttle. 5. Melinda married Hunt. George had a half sister Mary who married Joseph Osborne. Children: Joseph, Jr., Sheriff of Su~sex County, N. J. 1st. Wife, Sarah Price . . Their daughter Mary married William A.

His brother Eliphalet's son, Eliphalet, lived with this couple. Eliphalet 1st. had been lost, with his wife and two or three children, on their way to take up land in Canada, CA., 1750. · X. Thomas, 10th child of John and Mary Gustin. Born at Glastonbury, Jan. 12, 1735, married Ruth Owen, daughter of Eleazar Owen of Goshen, N. Y. Thomas Gustin and wife were buried under the old church at Florida, Orange Co., N. Y. Their gravestones were set in the outer wall. Probably Thomas Gustin was named for his Uncle Thomas Gustin who was the 6th child of Augustine Jean and Elizabeth Browne. Both of these men were Deacons and so called, hence the data regarding them is a bit confusing. There was also another Thomas Gustin, the dates of his birth unknown by the author of this hook-whose wife is given-as being Charity Trundy. · "Deacon" Thomas Gustin, 1735, and wife, Ruth Owen, married 1759.

Mary Gustin of N. J.) Anning, her brother, was born in Gosh­ en, N. Y., in 1751. He died at Ulysses, N. Y., April 1814. "Prior to 1778, Anning Owen, a blacksmith, erected a small log house and shop on the great road in Kingston, a few rods above the present residence of Hon. Charles Dorrance. Here he labored until July 3, 1778, when he shouldered his musket, iri common with his neighbors, and went forth under Butler and Dennison to encounter the British and Indians. He stood his ground bravely until compelled to give way in the general retreat. Flying from the lost field, he found himself pursued by a furious savage, who, with swift foot, was hastening to bury a tomahawk in his brain. · Eternity seemed near at hand, -and he called on his God for help and deliverance, vowing if his life were spared, to repent of his sins and lead a new life. Redoubling his efforts as if inspired with fresh strength and energy he escaped from his pursuer and concealed himself in a thicket until nightfall. Under the .cover of darkness, he made good his escape to the Fort. Some time after, being in the east, he attended a meeting at a Methodist Church, where the preacher with great zeal and solemnity reasoned of righteousness and judgment to come. Owen remembered his vow to God and his great deliverance. His conversion was complete and evinced great sincerity and earnestness in 'his efforts to save his own and neighbor's souls. When Mr. Campbell (the first regular Methodist preacher in Wyoming) arrived at his new field, he found one hundred professors of religion, the fruits of the labors of Anning Owen and others. He was received into the Conference in 1795, as a travelling preacher, and was efficient and acceptable until 1813, when he became superannuated. Peck's History of Early Methodistism. "The :first Methodist in the neighborhood (Lansingville, N. Y.) was the daughter of a Mr. Alexander, an Episcopal­ ian. Ip 1796 the Alexander family, hearing in the edge of the evening a strange cry in the forest, were instrumental in guiding to their primitive home the Rev. Anning Owen, who 210 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM then was upon the Tioga Circuit. He preached upon this oc­ casion and laid the foundation for a class organization which soon followed. In 1797, Anning Owen was appointed to the Seneca Circuit, and during the year a log chapel was built near Mr. Alexander's; this, beyond question, was the first house of worship built by the Methodists in the State of New York, west of Albany." Christian Advocate, Oct. 16, 1890. History of Wayne County (Peck's), page 765. "Anning Owen appears to have been Presiding Elder in 1807. He held the :first quarterly meeting held in Salem in Major Woodbridge's barn."

WYOMING CONFERENCE-YESTERDAY AFTERNOON'S SESSION The session of the Conference yesterday afternoon was full of interest. The anniversary of the Historical Society was held, and the Rev. Jonothan K. Peck, of Kingston, Ar­ chivist of the Society, read a paper telling about the begin­ ning of the Wyoming Conference, 111 years ago. Rev. Mr. Peck is a remarkable man. He is 7 4 years old. He wrote the paper and read it without the use of spectacles. It con­ tained seventeen pages of note paper and was written in ,a clear running hand, betraying not the hand that has outlived the allotted three:.score and ten. "Don't you wear glasses?" was asked of Mr. Pe~k. ' "No, I can't see with them," he said. In substance his paper says the foundation of the Con­ £erence was begun with the organization of the Kingston Methodist Society in 1788, at the time the Constitution of the United States was adopted and one year before George Wash­ ington became the President of the new Republic. Mr. Ann­ ing Owen formed the class that. year, and enrolled the fol­ lowing persons: Anning Owen, Mrs. Owen, Mr. Gray, Mrs. Gray, Abram Adams, Stephen Baker, Mrs. Baker, Mr. Wool­ ey, Nancy Wooley, Alice Pierce, Hannah Pierce, Mrs. Ruth Pierce, Samuel Carver, Joseph Brown, Ebenezer Parrish, Mrs. Parrish, Darius Williams, Mrs. Williams, Deborah Sut- THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 211 ton. Here are the names of an immortal twenty who com­ prised the only religious class or society of any name or de­ nomination in this whole country" west of the Hudson River and north of the latitude of Baltimore. In the archives of the society is a register of the Wyom­ ing Circuit of fifty-seven years ago. It contains the names of Huldah Williams, Ebenezer Parrish, and Mary Parrish, three of the "immortal twenty." Anning Owen was a blacksmith. He blew the bellows, hammered the iron, prayed, preached, sang, and travelled, voted in the General Conference and went to his reward. Cinders have been gathered from his forge and are in the Archives of the society. So is his Bible. Anning Owen fought without commission or uniform or authority in the bloody battle of Wyoming, and without com­ mission he organized this Kingston society that is prized none the less because of the unstarred soldier who wore the grimy garb of a blacksmith, but who will wear as bright a uniform and starry crown as any bishop around the eternal throne.

FIRST CHILD OF THOMAS GUSTIN AND WIFE, RUTH OWEN "COLONEL JoHN GUSTIN" AND WIFE, ESTHER PRICE John, horn, June 8, 1760, died, April 11, 1830, married first Esther, daughter of Judge Francis Price. (Note: the Price history is herein also given). They had three sons, Francis, Thomas, and John. John married second, Sarah, daughter of Thomas Allen of Hardwick (Yellow Faunce), born, January, 1769, died, March 23, 1844. Six sons were horn of this marriage. John served as a private in the Revolutionary War, in the regiment that went from Sussex County, N. J. He could not have been more than eighteen or nineteen years old. He was colonel of the Sussex Militia in 1793. In 1798 he was elected a member of the New Jersey Assembly. Sworn in as High Sheriff Oct. 20, 1807, and judge of the Court of Com­ mon Pleas, Feb. 18, 1818. He was one of the original direc­ tors of the Sussex Bank, and first postmaster of Augusta.

length portraits of him and his second wife were painted to he hung in the Town Hall of Augusta, New Jersey. They are now in the possession of one- of his great grandsons, living in Brooklyn, N. Y. John is in his colonel's uniform. John was a man of good education, niuch intelligence and had a strong and indomitable will. His business inter­ ests seem to have been as varied as his positions, political and otherwise. The History of Sussex County says: "The Gustin family formerly conducted extensive business inter­ ests at this time ( 1785), and speaking of John as being a man of much influence, says: "In politics he was the auto­ crat of the neighborhood, and exercised an imperious sway over his followers." In addition to his other business inter­ ests, he was at one time proprietor of the tavern . . In 1827 Col. Gustin gave an acre of land for a church building for the Presbyterian Society, which was organized in 1820. This church was sold in 1875, to be used as a barn. Like all men of substance in that part of the country at that time, Judge Gustin owned a number of slaves; but slav­ ery there had none of the horrors that belonged to it in the more Southern states. 'An aged aunt (Mrs. Peacock, sister of John S.), who sp~nt much of her youth with her grandfather, used to tell some amusing stories of the Negroes, especially of "Aunt Patience," the cook. She was anything but patient. When she was in one of her tantrums, she always used to say that Mars. Alpheus (the colonel's son) "ought to whip her." Such a thing was never done. This Aunt was a great reader, as was also her grand­ father, who had what was· considered at that time a remark­ ably good library. The ancestory of Esther Price is herewith attached.

2. John S., born, Sept. 18, 1805 (The ancestor of Sarah Gustin Dewick). 3. Violetta, born, May 26, 1807. 4. George, born, Sept., 1808, died, Aug. 18, 1813. When Francis Gustin died at the early age of twenty­ four, he left a widow, twenty-one years old, and four children. The home was for a time broken up, John and his sister Vio­ letta spending some of their early childhood with the grand­ father, Judge or "Colonel" Gustin. At the time of his marriage ( see Gustin pedigree) John S. was living in New York City. His four elder children were born there, but some time before his fifth child, Charles, was born, he bought a farm in New Jersey, and ·moved there. Here Charles was born. John S. did not know much about farming, and did not make a success of it; all his inclinations were for mental work. He returned to New York, and en­ gaged with Peter Cooper in the manufacture of wire. At the time the writer was born the family lived on Thirty-fourth Street, near Fourth Avenue, a part of the city then. quite rural. The house in it~ beautiful garden was not far from the old home of Peter Cooper, now taken down and removed to the country residence, in New Jersey, of his son­ in-law, ex-Mayor Abram Hewitt, of New York. John S. took much interest in politics, and was a Democrat of strong con­ victions. When the writer was two years old, the family moved to South Trenton, N. J., where John S. superintended the build­ ing of a wire mill, in which Peter Cooper was interested. The family moved in what was known as the "Big White House," built after the plan of a French chateau. It stood in its own grounds. The owner, a Frenchman, spent most of his money building it, and went back to France to live. After a residence of several years in South Trenton, John S. took his family to Philadelphia, where he had charge of some wire works. In a few years he went back to Trenton, and lived for some time in one of what were known as the THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 215

"Five Cottages." Barber, in his Historical Collections of New Jersey, gives a full account of these cottages, which were built on what was then the end of State street, the principal street in Trenton. Across the end of State street was a beau­ tiful old place, owned by a Greek merchant, Mr. Pertagari. The house stood in a grove of splendid old trees. At the time of writing, the house has been moved, the trees cut down, and State street extended for some miles beyond the cottages. At that time Trenton was a picturesque old town, divided by the Assunpink River, now much reduced in width. An old landmark of Trenton has disappeared in the tearing down of the old stone paper mill that stood on Green street, near the bridge crossing the river. A culvert has been made and a row of stores built over it. It was near this bridge the sham battle was fought the day after Christmas, in memory of the battle of Trenton, Dec. 26, 1776. The troops going over the route followed at the time of the battle, met at the bridge. Guns and cannons were fired. Some of the soldiers fell, as if killed, and others acted as if wounded. All very real to the youth of that day. Near this bridge was the Dame's School, kept by Miss Louisa and Miss Rebecca Bryarley, two notable figures in Trenton life. Miss Louisa had the more advanced classes and Miss Rebecca the juveniles. One day in the week (Thurs­ day) was entirely given to fancy work, Miss Louisa reading aloud. A chapter of the Bible was read every morning, and a string of pearls (?) was given at the end of every month to the scholar who had the highest marks in everything. The public schools in Trenton at that time were not of a very high grade, and were not attended by all classes, as in the Eastern States. While living in Trenton, John S. commenced his elec­ trical inventions, to which he devoted some years, and in 1852 completed his electric motor, a full description of which is given in a book entitled "The Electric Motor and its Appli­ cations," by T. C. Martin and Joseph Wetzler, page 18. John 216 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM was one of the pioneers of electrical inventions and alwi said electricity would take the place of steam. He did 1 live to see some of his predictions verified. After same ye spent in working out electrical problems, John :came to B ton, and built a rolling mill (now being torn down), on D chester avenue, for Henry S. Washburn. When· this was cc pleted, his son-in-law, Thom11s Gogin took charge of it, i he. (John) succeeded him in the care of the mill in. Quinsi mond, a little village some two miles from Worcester. 1 railroad to Providence ran through this village; hut there , no: station, a coach ran from Millbury, through Quinsi mond, to Worcester, four times a day. .While.living here, John S. applied his electric mot01 propel a small pleasure boat, which was twenty-two feet le with paddle wheels. A few .years before the War of the Rebellion, J ohr moved to Worcester, to superintend the building of wire m for.. Nathan Washburn. . The summer before the electioIJ Abraham Lincoln as President, he went to Toronto,. Cans to build. a mill for rolling rails for the Grand Trunk railrc The owners of the mill were Mr. Gzowski ( afterwards Cashnir Gzowski, now dead),· Hon. Mr~ MacPherson, Mr. Pomeroy, the latter of Stockbridge, Mass. Mr. Gzov w_as a . Polish refugee, a civil engineer by profession, , went from Stockbridge to Canada at the time when what. called "Corduroy roads" were being built. He amasse large fortune and spent it liberally. As Judge Gustin was sheriff of ·the county and took s an interest in politics, he was looked up to as a leader of Federal party in that region. When he was home his he was a great resort for all the noted men thereabouts, who ci to consult with him on political matters and public impr, ments. · Dewitt Clinton, Governor of New York, and father of Erie Canal scheme, came to consult with him about the p ticability of building a canal from the drowned lands on MR.

This scheme failed, hut- it resulted in fixing the future career of Horatio N. Gustin, the judge's youngest son, as a civil engineer. Horatio accompanied Clinton's surveyors as a chain-hearer. Several sons of Judge Gustin have been members of the New Jersey Legislature. He died April 11, 1830. He was also a: member of the Upper House in 1813-18, 1822 and 1827. 1.

Gustin, of Chico, Cal., he says that he has just received a letter from his sister in New Jersey stating that his mother is dangerously ill (paralysis); and that, at the time of writing, her condition was critical. You may keep, or destroy if you desire, that letter from Wil­ liam Henry Gustin, of Rockaway. I have recently received a letter from John Morton Gustin (a brother of Wm. Henry), also of Rocka­ way, a "carpenter" by trade, horn, May 30, 1845, at Rockaway, where he was married Sept. 5, 1872, to Margaret L.

Fredon, Sussex Co., New Jersey, Friday, Sept. 30, 1887. Mr. G. W. Gustin Dear Sir: I received your letter last night and this morning I called at my near neighbor and as I knew his wife was from near Augusta, 1 told about your enquiry about the Gustin's, and Mrs. Morris said ehe use to hear of a Horatio Gustin about Augusta; then she spoke about the History of Sussex and Warren Counties, which was printed, I think, in 1881. They have one, these Morrises, our neighhors, so I borrowed it. It is a book eleven by eight inches and three inches 226 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM thick. In looking through it, on page 381, in the History of Still­ water tp., I find the following: 'In 1763, Joseph Hull sold to John Courson 800 acres of land near the present village of Fredon. Upon his death, John Courson, willed the property to his son Benjamin, who sold it to his brother, Col. John Coursen, in 1778. The latter, who lived at first in a log house located where the Coursen Mansion now stands. (I will put 'a little in here, this Coursen mansion now is our Posto:ffice, kept by Wm. P. Coursen, son of Isaac Coursen. They have some two or three hundred acres joining us, and well-to­ do farmers). Had seven children-Abram, Enos, Tershon, Isaac, Anna, Sarah, and Elisha-of whom none are now living. Isaac and Enos were the only ones who died in Stillwater (i.e., Stillwater tp.) Of Enos' children, the only one living is Hampton Coursen, of Vt. (believe he died last year or year before). Of Isaac's eleven are living, (believe he had fourteen children) and of these five reside in Stillwater tp.-to wit: Joseph H. Coursen, Stillwater Village, Louisa E., wife of Dr. C. T. Moore, Stillwater, and William P., Fredon, and Amanda S. Manning, Fredon, and Nancy A. Coursen, Fredon, Hampton, Vt., and Harrt, Scranton, Pa., and Oscar, Scranton, Pa., and Tershon, San Francisco, Cal., and Ed., Oregon, and Dr. Whit­ field at Newfoundland. Isaac, who was horn in 1794 in the old log house, married in 1818, a daughter of Dan Hurd of Sparta, She still resides in the house built in 1805 _by her husband's father. (In­ serted here by me, she died April 23rd., Phoebe H. Coursen, aged 84 years, 8 months, and 18 days, and Nancy A., her daughter also died April 15, aged 55 years, two months. They were two of the fin­ est and best women who ever lived. Nancy died a week before her mother, sick only a week; the shock of her death took her mother off after just one week's sickness. They are buried at Yellow Frame). Isaac Coursen died in 1850. Mrs. Coursen remembers that when she came to Stillwater tp. {by me here at Fredon where the Coursen's live yet), in 1818, there were in the vicinity of Fredon, David Gustin, David Johnson, Abraham Smith, Isaac Smith, Mr. McCullon, and Mr. Matison (Mr. Mattison lived where we dQI now. We bought of him in 1855 or 6, i. e., my parents, Charles Roy). David Gustin was living in a frame house, built many years before by John C. Roy. It was• the first of the kind in these parts, and people came from a good way off to have a look at the curiosity. The frame barn, built not long after the house, is still $tanding. Both structures stood on the property now owned bv William P. Coursen. (This house that David Gustin lived in is still standing. It is the oldest house around, hut you would not know it to be so old as has been fixed over and is kept in good repair. The barn was a very THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 227 large one, larger than they huild now-a-days, very heavy frame, and the date 177-something we could not make out was sawed in the south gable end weather-boards. It has been going down for years, and Mr. Coursen had it pushed down about a month ago. It stood out into the field when David Gustin lived there. I suppose it was a farm but since then the Coursen's have got it, and the land is in the large farm and the house is now a lot and rented out as such, so the large barn was not used) • FREDON The place now called Fredon is simply a collection of a dozen or more houses and a comfortable looking hotel called the "Fountain House" (by me, a curse to any place) ; hut business interests, aside from a grist mill,. it has none. About half a mile below the village, where the district school-house stands, Isaac Coursen started a store before 1811. In that year, his brother, Abram and Gershom Cour­ sen, merchants, of Hope tp., were carrying on the Isaac Coursen store, and about that time David Gustin opened a second store there, upon the ground now' occupied by the schoolhouse. The Coursen's set up a blacksmith shop, and, an embryo village thus cropping out, the name of Hardwick was bestowed upon it. Upon the creation of a postoffice at that point the name of Hardwick was changed to that of Coursen's Corners, Isaac V. Coursen was appointed the first post• master, and retained possession of the office. until 1855. ( when he died). His son, William P. Coursen, was then appointed, and still continues. The office has therefore been held by the Coursen fam­ ily upwards of seventy years. Shortly before his death, in 1855, Isaac Coursen caused_ the village and post-office name to be changed to Fredon, hut why he did so or what suggested the name is a ques­ tion that none can answer. The Coursen and Gustin stores were both destroyed by fire, whereupon Gustin abandoned the field, and Coursen, building a new store, the old abandoned building yet to be seen at the Corners, was thereafter the only trader at Coursen's Corners. William Hunt opened a public-house on the Johnsonby road, near the Corners, at an early day, but failed to make a great success of it. The Fountain House was built by Harrison Cole in 1864. Allen Coursen built a grist mill on the present William Smith prop­ erty, and there also had his home. The mill was burned in 1848. It was restored by William Smith and brothers, who are still the pro­ prietors. (P. S.-They built below where it was burned. That finishes all of the Stillwater tp. accounts that would be of interest to you). Then I come to page 391- 228 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

HISTORY OF SussEx Co., NEW JERSEY, FRANKFORT TowNSHIP THE PRICE FAMILY Early settlements, the Price family was one of the most prom inent. There was a Francis Price of much influence in his day, bein~ Justice of the peace and solemnized most of the marriages, etc. Then appears an account in his against William Booth, made 1791, amounting to 2 lbs. 5. s., 7 d., under which is the following remark: (in fine print) "William Booth shall not be sued for the above bal, ance, nor any action brought against him for it, because he is a poo1 man." - Among entries in his book of accounts are the following: "Peter Hopkins, Dr., June 13, 1779, to my gardiner, the continental horses with two hands six days at Christopher Caise's meddo, 45 lbs. 0 s. 0 d., and finding one hand at Robert Adams' meddo 18 lb. Od. I paid for you at Willises O lb. 16 s. 3 d. You are to pay for Timo• thy Gustin 6 lb. 15 s. 9 d. It goes on quite a lot like the above. I mentioned these few, as Timothy Gustin.was mentioned. Now I tum to page 393 and I see the MARRIAGE RECORD FROM 1782 to 1799:' The following record of marriages performed by Squire Fran­ cis Price, is transcribed from his justice's docket verbatim: (It goes on and gives a lot but I will only give what I think will interest you). Then I married Michael Dicker to Phebe Smier: May 20, Henry Washer to Anne Current. Dec. 26, Timothy Gustin to Elizabeth Horn. Then I turn to page 395. During the year 1818, Messrs, Ashbel G. Fairchild and Otis S. Hoyt understood a systematic mission in the tp., which resulted in the sending out of the Rev. Enos A. Osborn. He began labors in May, 1819, and succeeded in gathering a small church. He preached in a building used later as a sitting room at the old Roe Homestead, in the village of Augusta, and the Augusta school house. He also preached in the school house at Branchville, which building stood on the hill just above the lately dismantled school house. When a few souls were found ready to form a permanent organization, a little company assembled in the church-a union property on the summit of the hill beyond the school house in Branchville; built for any and all religious services which the neighborhood might obtain, its walls have echoed with the doctrines of almost every sect known to our day. The house was framed of wood, then merely enclosed with floors, siding and roof, and without window sashes. The seats were made by placing logs lengthwise and crossing them with boards. For the preacher, there was an elevated contrivance which might be called a desk. The land upon which it was built was given by the heir, THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 229

Martin Ryerson, and Joh Casad gave the building. Some years later it was completed with funds raised for the purposes. In this primi­ tive edifice, the first Presbyterian Church of Frankford was organ­ ized. It was with a historical as well as real propriety that it is therefore called The Branchville Church, though it did not worship in the village for a period of thirty-six years from its formation. A committee to constitute it, consisting of Rev. Edward Allen and Enos A. Osborn, had b~en appointed by the Presbytery of Jersey in the spring of 1820. On the third Sabbath of May these brethren con­ vened a congregation, and at this meeting the following members were received: Susan and Margaret Roe, Eliza Gates, Catherine Hagerty, Hannah and Sarah and Margaret Allen, Catherine Ackerson, Jane Vanatta, Edwina Lewis, Polly Stuble, Margaret Gates, Ebenezer Tuttle, Randal Stivers, David Ayers, Ennice Stivers, Sarah Gustin, Hannah Ryerson, Mary Boss, Ma!"Y Allen, Sally Howell, Margaret Lynch, and Mrs. M. Ayers. The church elected Mr. Randal Stivers Elder, and Mr. Ebenezer Tuttle Deacon, and these officers were duly installed. In 1827, Col. John Gustin generously donated a lot of land in Augusta for a building, which was erected per contract by Richard Bry. It was a plain hut substantial edifice, and comfort­ ably seated two hundred people. It was sold in 1875, and devoted to.the uses of a barn; about 1857 a movement was made to change the place of meeting to Branchville. Land was donated; $3,000 raised and the present edifice soon erected. The church at Augusta removed their principal services to the new building and have since been known as The Branchville Presbyterian Church. Salem, Ct., March 21, 1890. G. W. Gustin, Dear Sir: Yours received. The records of polls of Colchester, 1787, show only two by the name of Gustin, viz, James Gustin, and Walter Gustin, and these two in the same parish, which was organized in 1819, into a part of Salem. The late Judge T. C. Daniels of this town died in 1884, age eighty-nine years, and his father, Asa Daniels died in 1826, aged eighty-six years. Judge Daniels owned the property once held by the Gustin's and often he pointed out where their dwelling stood. I think the Gustin's took up the land somewhere about the year 1730 or '40. Do not think anyone of your name resided here since the beginning of the present century. The only records of Colchester are Meagre, commencing about 1700, and fragmentary, with little or no order in their arrangement. The first settler in the southern part of Salem was James Harris, in 230 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM

1718, and the first within the present limits of. Salem was in 1706, came from Wi11dsor, Middletown, Glastonbury, Hartford, and Sun­ bury, Mass. Salem, Conn., April 1, 1890. Mr. Gustin:- A thought has just occurred to me that an historic relic might be of some value to you in connection with the history of the Gustin Family. . The church in what is now Salem was organized and the first rude house of worship erected very nearly in ihe center of the town, geographically, and when the southern part of the old society was taken to make up a new society by the name of Chesterfield in 1769, then a second Edifice was erected about 100 rods west of the home of the Gustin's, and was demolished in the year 1838, when the present edifice was erected. I am quite certain that in the second church building Deacon Thomas Gustine officiated as an officer of the church. · When this building was torn down, my father, Alfred Gallup erected a wagon shed about twenty-five rods from the site of Edifice No. 1, in which some portion_ of church No. 2 was incorporated, such as rafters and sill, etc. The wagon shed was erected in 1844, and I assisted on the building. I can easily procure a portion of the timper, a small piece, I mean, and forward you by mail. As a historic family relic, this would be a good one. Doubtful if I am not the only person liv­ ing who possesses the facts in this case. I can give, you quite an interesting account of some who left this town just before the Revolution and emigrated to the beautiful Wyoming Valley, and through this medium you may find a broken link that may be welded to ~omplete the chain of evidence in a con• summation of your plans. Yours very truly, A. D. Gallup. Coat of Arms: Ar. betw. 2 palets gu 3 fleurs-de-lis in pale s a a chief wz­ crust on a chapeau a pelican vulning herself ppr-

Jeremiah took up an entire section of land, which was later divided among his children. The only habitations for miles around were those of himself and his children. James M. Gustin, of Blanchester, Ohio, says: "My great grandfather (Jeremiah) came here from Pa.; came down on a flatboat; landed at Jarett's Station, at the mouth of the Little Miami, six miles above the now city of Cincin­ nati. I got my education up to eleven years of age in a log school-house, with slab benches, and greased paper windows." He was the father of Lieut. Joseph Henry Gustin, U. S.

J., Eleanor Bunton; who was horn June 20, 1772; died Jan. 1, 1853, at Red Lion, aged 80 years, 6 months, 12 days. Their remains were interred in the "Kirby grave, yard" ( about 2½ miles from the present post-office of Red Lion), where the inscription on the tombstone of each is still (1898) in evidence. In 1797 they removed from Sussex Co., N. J., settled in Washington Co., Pa., on "Meadow Run," near old Fort Redstone; where he built, owned and operated a small grist and saw niill. Two of their children were born here, viz: {I) Ellen, Sept. 28, 1797; died, Dec. 10, 1869, at Chesterfield, Madison Co., Ind. She was the wife of Martin Comer. (2) John Bunton Gustine (my grandfather), July 8, 1799; di~d, Oct. 8, 1885, on his fann. two miles south of Blanchester, Clinton Co., Ohio; aged 86 years, 3 months. He married Eleanor Marshall, who was born June 17, 1802; died, December_ 12, 1875; aged 73 years, 5 months, 25 days. Their remains were interred in the family burial lot, "LO. 0. F. Cemetery," at Westboro, Clinton Co., Ohio. In the fall of 1799 the Gustins removed from Washing­ ton County, Pa., settling next at Garrett's station ( a log stock­ ade) in Hamilton County, Ohio, at or near the site of what is now known as Columbia, since 1873 within the corporate limits of Cincinnati's First Ward. By reason of high waters each spring, with attendant overflows, the Gustins renioved 238 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM from this locality in 1801, to escape the chills and fever ("ague") incident to flooded lands, and settled permanently on lands adjoining the site of the present village of Red Lion, in• Clearcreek tp., Warren County, Ohio. · The Gustins were the first persons to erect their log cabins in Clearcreek tp., and for awhile formed a settlement among themselves with no neighbor nearer than two miles. Ohio was then an un­ broken wilderness, the virgin soil was covered by trackless forests, where log cabins passed for houses, where all men worked witp their hands, where all lived on pretty much the same social level, where none were very rich and none very poor; such was the condition, and primeval environment, of the Gustin pioneers at Red Lion in the early years of the nineteenth century. 'During the intervening -period Warren County, Ohio (like Sussex Co., N. J., of ye olden time), has been the birthplace or cradle, so to speak, of a numerous Gus­ tin progeny. Jeremiah Gustin (1740-1823) with his sons: Benajah, Samuel, Elkanah, Jeremiah, Jr., John and his sons-in-law: --- Campbell and John Stephenson, located and settled upon 1 ¼ sections (800 acres) of land in Clearcreek tp. Patents covering the said tract were granted by the United States (President James Madison), as follows: January 15, 1810, to John Gustin for the "North-East quarter (160 ac:res) of Section No. 8, of Township No. 3, in Range No. 4, of the land lying between the great Miami River and the Virginia Reservations, in the Territory North-West of the Ohio and above the mouth of the Kentucky River," etc.; and on Feb. 6, 1811, to Jeremiah Gustin, for "Section No. 9 (640 acres), of Township No. 3, in Range No. 4, of the land," etc., etc. Warren County, Ohio, was organized ( from Hamilton Co.) May 1, 1803, and was first divided into four townships, the "Gustin Section" falling into Franklin township; but in 1817, a new township was formed, named Clearcreek, the Gustin Section falling in the latter. The records in the office of the Recorder of Warren THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 239

County, show that on June 16, 1814, Jeremiah Gustin deeded portions of his section ·of land to certain of his sons, as fol­ lows: To Samuel-121 acres; Consideration $250.00. Elkanah-105 acres; consideration $210.00. Jeremiah, Jr.-113 acres; consideration $226.00. John-120½ acres; consideration $245.00. A tract of 105 acres was surveyed for Benajah, which was conveyed at a later date to his sons. He also conveyed small lots in the same section, as follows: Oct. 3, 1816, to John and Mary (Gustin) Stephenson, his younger daughter- 30 acres; and Oct. 22, 1816, to George and Bethany (Gustin) French-hi1:1 granddaughter (Benajah and Eleanor's daughter )-5 acres. The records in the office of the Court of Probate, Warren County, show that Jeremiah Gustin made his will June 13, 1822: and that the said will was probated May 18, 1825. Mr. Jesse Gustin (formerly of Red Lion; but for ten years past a resident of Lebanon, Warren Co., Ohio), born, June 4, 1824, at Red Lion-Madison E.

' We, the descendants of Benajah Gustin (1766-1835), know by family tradition that he was a soldier in the latter part of the Revolutionary War; that, during a portion of his military service that period (being in the 17th year of his age, or less), he was engaged in patrolling up and down that part of the Delaware river which forms the western boundary 240 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM of Sussex County, N. J.; that, by reason of services rendered in the patriot cause during the said War, he was granted a pension by the United States; and that his widow, Eleanor, received a regular pension from the U.

He was one of the original settlers of Phillipsburg, Maine. Copy from Grandma's Old Aunt Bryant's Bible: "Ebenezer Gustin, died March 1, 1794, aged 53. Lucy Ayers Gustin, died Dec. 28, 1828, aged 86." The year of her death not put down but one oldest sister was married Jan. 13, 1828, and this was the year she died.

"Ebenezer Gustin and Lucy Ayers Gustin are buried _in the eastern graveyard in Scotland, and our parents are buried by their side." This is all she wrote. I am sorry I am not able to give you more facts. In the great fire of July 4, 1866, there were burnt many of the papers which would have furnished you with many facts that would have helped you in your work. If I were in Scotland, I might perhaps get some dates that would help you. My sisters are twins, eighty-four years old. They are quite well and it is remarkable that they should both live to that age. I want to say here that Grandfather's house stood on the corner of Franklin and Federal Sts., and was burnt in the great fire of July 4, 1866; it was the homestead. In it my aunts were all horn and married. Aunt Bryant always lived and she died there. (Signed) Sarah E. Elder.

ROBERT LEE SCHELL GUSTINE, Student of The Episcopal Academy of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania At the Junior Olympics held at the Wynnewood Pony Show in May, 1925, when he was eleven years old, Robert Lee Schell Gustine was instrumental in winning the meet for The Episcopal Academy and the Bulletin described his work, as follows: "The individual star of the 162 boys who competed was Robert Gustine, eleven-year-old all-round athlete of Episco­ pal, whose performance today marked him as a potential star. In the running broad jump he cleared 16 feet, 4½ inches, A few minutes later Gustine won the shot-put by hurling an eight-pound shot 30 feet, 6 inches. . . . ." "Considering their years, the boys performed most cred­ itable, and rivalled time and distance records hung up in in­ termediate contests by boys nearly twice their age ..." Subsequently in September, 1921, he entered this col­ lege as a student, where his father had been in the early years also a student-at the time that it was called DeLancey School. At that time his records show that he was unusual as to perfect physique, being: THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 283

Height-5 ft. 11 ¼. Weight-162. Light Hair-Complexion fair. He was prominent in all the activities of the Academy for several years, and popular among the social set in which he lived. One evening while he was calling on a friend in the residential section of Philadelphia, a hand of young rob­ bers decided on stealing his unusually handsome car. Mr. Gustine had left his car parked in front of the home of his young lady friend. The robbers did not get away with the car until Mr. Gustine came down the walk to enter it. Upon seeing him, they shot him, with the result that he died a few days later. The Academy Scholium, a monthly magazine, featured the popular young man at length after his death, with the following expression of their appreciation of him. "So much was said in the various papers regarding the murderous attack which resulted in Robert's death forty-eight hours later, that we need not discuss the details of the tragedy. One incident to which no publicity was given is really worth r.eciting here, however, because it demonstrated a spirit of sportmanship on Robert's part which was exceptionally fine. In his intrepid jump to the running board of the automobile, as the murderers started it down the street, he must have faced the men who shot him at a distance of less than three feet, and would probably have little difficulty in subsequently recogniz­ ing their features. Apparently he was able to make a fairly definite identification of this individual; however, when he was told what would he the consequences to these men in case of his possible death, he seemed to ponder on the situation for a while and then retracted his identification. As a. wit­ ness of the accident declared, he ·gave the suspects their chance, although they had given him none. "Bob will live long in the memories of his friends, the boys and Masters, in the Episcopal Academy, all of whom 284 THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM extend their most heartfelt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Gustine in their irreparable loss." Another illustrious descendant of Thomas Gustine, Sr. and wife, Hannah Griswold, was Edwin Sheffield Bartholo­ mew, born in Colchester, Conn., July 8, 1822, died in Naples, Italy, May 2, 1858. He was buried there. Was the eldest of seven children of Abial Lord Bartholomew and Sarah, daughter of Walter and Anna Grant Gustin. "He displayed a taste for art as a child, but di9- not begin its study until somewhat advanced in youth. Was in the life school of the National Academy of New York for a year, and went to Italy, settling in Rome, where, with the exception of an occasional visit to America, his professional life was spent. Among his works are: "Blind Homer led by His Dog," "Eve," "Sappho," "Campagna Shepherd Boy," "Genius of Paint­ ing," "Youth," and "Old Age," "Evening Star," "Eve Rapt," "Washington," and "Flora." A large collection of his figures and busts are in the Wadsworth Gallery in Hartford, Conn., of which institution he was Curator before going abroad for th.e first time."-Artists of 19th Century, by Clement Hutton. Honorable Edward Gustin of Keene, New Hampshire, was descended from this line. The author gives herewith excerpts from a letter written by him to George Wilmot Gus­ tin, dated at Keen~ N. H., May 10, 1889. - Keene, N. H., May 10, 1889. I (Edward Gustin) was born at Winchester, N. H., Sept. 2; 1819. There were in my father's family nine children, four sons and five daughters. My father was a merchant at Winchester for many years. At one time he was considered rich. In 1828, he failed in business. Failure in those day~ meant poverty. He managed to keep his family together, and give his children what school advan­ tages the town afforded. In 1832 he moved his family to what is now called Chicopee Falls, Mass. . - I was married May 17, 1843 to Miss Sarah H. Worcester of Lebanon, Maine. She was granddaughter of Col. Alexander Wor­ cester•. He had c_ommand of the Maine Troops at Plattesburg, N. THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 285

Y., in the War of 1812. We lived at Winchester about one year, when we moved to Manchester, N. H. We had two children. I then took charge of the Baltimore Portable Gas Co., and moved to Boston, Mass. I was appointed 1857 Superintendent of the Dorchester Gas .Co., 1856, I built the gas works for the town of Woodstock, Vt., and in 1859, I built the gas works for Keene, N. H. About two years after the Rebellion broke o~t, the man I had at Keene to look after my business went to the War. I then moved my family to K'.eene, where I have remained. During the War, I did a large amount of steam work. I built the gas works at Rutland and St. Albans, Vt., at Malone and Plattsburg, N. Y., Livingston and Native, Massi. After living at Keene about two years, I was elected to 'the Legislature. I took an active interest in changing the town form of Government to a city. I made some enemies and friends. The act did not pass until 1874. In 1875 and 1876, I was _elected again to the Legislature. I was a member of the Constitutional Conv:ention in 1877. In 1879, I was elected to the Senate, re-elected four years. I was a member of the National Convention when Gar­ field. was nominated for President. I have held several appoint­ ments from the Governor and Council. I am Commissioner now on laying out state roads. New Hampshire people believe in rotation in office. I don't know of any reason for it, but I have been elected to office more than it has been the custom to elect one man. I have not done much in our city politics, I was elected Alderman four years ago, when I was away from home. I could not refuse it very well; so I took two elections and served two years. I have taken quite an interest in Freemasonrv. I have held many offices in that body. I was two years Grand High Priest of the State. I was dele­ p;ate· and attended the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the United States at St. Louis in 1868. I attended the Grand Commandery meeting at New Orleans iii 1874. My religious views would not he considered quite sound by some church folk. At the S'ame time I have many warm friends among those that differ with me.

Enclosed please find a certificate of the service of Benajah Gustin, Private, Minute-Man, in the Sussex County Militia during the Revolutionary War. This is THE GUSTINE COMPENDIUM 303 all the informatiou I have .concerning him. He belonged to that class of the Militia which was called out at various times during the War, in case of an alarm for "tours of duty" and was assigned to any company and regiment that needed a complement. You will readily understand that although the collection of Revolutionary records in this office is large, it is far from complete and can never he made so. Yours truly, (signed) William S. Stryker, Adjutant-General. State of New Jersey, Office of Adjutant General, Trenton, December 30, 1896.

Stryker, Adjutant-General. Great Seal of the State of New Jersey attached. NOURSE & NOURSE ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELLORS I found the following in a book entitled "List of Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia" by Dr. H. J. Eckenrode, Archivist, Page 262: "Augustine, Amos W., 4, 86 Rom. 21." "W 4 86 means, as I understand it, "War." A collection of manuscript volumes hearing- on the military establishment of. the State of Virg-inia during and after the Revolution." "Rom." as there used means "Romney," a manuscript list of the militia paid off at Romney. On page 194 of the above work, I find the following "Gustian, Amos, Pitts, 50." "Pitts" as above used, I understand means a manuscript list of militia paid off at Pittsburp;h; otherwise, Fort Pitt. I have no doubt that the two names above Augustine and Gus­ tian mean the same person, but only because the baptismal name is the same but for the further reason that the sergeants or other offi­ cers who kept these rolls were not well educated and they frequently made mistakes in names or gave them in abbreviated form. Trust this will find you all in good health. Yours very truly, (Signed) Clinton L. Nourse. 304 THE GUSTINE ·COMPENDIUM

Taken prisoners at the very beginning of the War, after a long confinement, he became so ill that he was paroled.
