BY SAMUEL DUNSTER, ATTLEBOROUGH, MASS. U. /o- B^ <n^ « ^ . ^ ' CENTRAL FALLS, R I. E. L. Freeman & Co., Steam Book and Job Printers. 1876. — 1158949 INTRODUCTION K-^ When the life of Henry Dunster was published in 1872, a genealogy of the male br9,nches of his descendants, as far as known, was added in an appendix. Some of the 1 female descendants were grieved that they and their children could not be noticed. This just appeal could only be met by urging the want of space allotted, and the difficulty of identifying many of them after having parted with their patronymic. It is our purpose, as far as we are able, to amend this acknowledged wrong and add more information, not then accessible, of those who retain the name, as well as those who by marriage have dropped it. \J The name Dunster signifies a dweller upon a dun, or down, and is of Saxon origin. There is a market town in Somersetshire, England, and a castle there by that name. Hence, we suppose, the origin of the crest v (Book of Family Crests, Vol. I., page 155, and Vol. II., plate 85, No. 25,) —" Dunster, out of the top of a tower, ar. an arm emboss, vested gri., cuffed of the first, hold- ing a tilting spear, sa." But no knowledge or intimation has ever reached the writer that that or other crest was ever used or referred to by the American head of the family. He was quite too democratic for that, as his whole life shows. There are several families in this country by the name besides those descended from President Dunster, the earliest of which appears to be Charles Dunster, who, as Mr. Oliver Dunster, his great grandson, of Barnardsville, New Jersey, states " was one of the twelve proprietors of all South Jersey, and owned a great deal of land in West IV INTRODUCTION. Jerse}"," on some of which he now resides. The Dun- sters in Leesville, Ohio, appear to be descended from him. But the Dunsters of western New York, are of a more recent immigration. They came from the Coun- ty of Kent. There is also in Grass Valley, California, an Isaac Dunster, who came only a few years ago. There was a Thomas Dunster in Newark, New Jersey, not re- lated to Oliver, who had a son Henry, who was a Meth- odist minister. He had a son—an eminent bank note engraver—now in the employ of the Eussian government. In the Army Hospital at Memphis, Tenn., in 1863, there was the death of a ''Dunster," but we have not been able to identify his parentage. The account is from a correspondent of tlie St. Louis Republican, which we copy: "A Hospital Scene at Memphis. —We came to the body of a non-commissioued officer, a fine, large man, who during the last few hours had become insane. The bone of his thigh was shat- tered by a ball, so high up that amputation could not be perform- ed, so nothing was offered him but to lay there and die. Watch- ing the terrible hues of mortification come upon his limb, feeling the horrible poison steal up toward his vitals, grasping and dead- ening new tissues each hour, it proved too fearful for even the strong man, who to his physicians had uttered no cry or com- plaint, and his mind fled for relief to insanit3^ "As we approached he fixed a pair of cold, despairing eyes upon us and exclaimed, pointing back over his shoulder, ' Do you see him, old Death there, sitting on the headboard and laughing ? A grim army joker in truth. The other night I felt a cold touch, and it woke me. The moon flung in a bai- of light, and I saw old Death feeling of my wound. The icy touch numbed it, and the it next time I woke his hand was closer to my body. So goes ; and he will soon be pulling on my heart chords.' The maniac then stopped as if for the purpose of reflecting, and during our stay would part of the time be musing, part laughing, occasion- ally breaking out with the exclamation: 'I plead to him that they would be lonely at the old home; a wife and child are pleas- anter than a tomb.' "And so we left hini, the utter corruption, the rottenness of the tomb, and the vitality of a great man joined in one being, grap- pling upon the hospital bed. Life, with the full, strong pulse of thirty years, had marshalled its forces, been defeated, and was retreating upon its citadel, pursued by the decay growth of a few days. The arteries would soon, stung by the poison tide, .stag- nate, and block up the gates of tiie lieart. His name was C. P. Dunster, from Illinois, I believe, but the regiment he belonged to I have forgotten." INTRODUCTION. Y The name appears to have been originally written Dunstone. In an old letter in our possession, on the back of which is the most extended sermon extant in President Dunster's hand, it is so written, as it also is in a record in Henry VIII. time. Could it, in the forma- tion of surnames, have had any reference to the expres- sion, "A great rock in a tueary land ?" This letter hav- ing never been printed, we insert entire: "1655, the20 Augt Cousin Dunstone my kind love remember, d unto you raj wife yor Cozen mary Biildis Coy [Kay] tlio growing od is in good health I heard from her the last April I heard yor wife is dead I desire you to remember my love to my sonn in Law Benjamin Phillipps and ye rest of o.r ffreinds Crave here leave to rest.

As early as Henry YIII., there are records in the parish of Middleton of the burials of Hugo, Katherine, Johannes, and Georgius Dunster, all within the year 1543: and in Edward VI. reign, George, Jannet, Elizabeth ux Johannes Dunster and Johannis Dunster. In Mary's reign, (1553), Anna, and before IGOO seven others. Among the nine weddings of "Dunsters" recorded in the parish of Middleton between 1544 and 1594, is Henry Dunster and Anne Strete, 25th July, 3 Edw. VI., 1550; Edmund Dunster and Jane Hopwood, July 20, 4 Edw. VI., 1551; also Henry Dunster and Katherine Kaye, 15th May, 6 Edw. VI., 1553. There are seven births recorded there before 1600, among which are Martha /?7m Jac. Dunster, 27th Jan., 1593, and Mtiry //m /r/r.^ Dunster, 4th May, 1595, and other children of Edmund and Richard Dunster. There were several Dunsters of some note. John, who was Bachelor of Divinity, a canon regular in 22 Henry VIII. , 1530 ; Eoger Dunster, a London merchant : John Dunster, A. B., Magdalen College, IGOO, A.

D., 1690; Henry Duu- ster, Esq., married Mary, daughter and heir of Henry Gardner, Esq., M. P. for Ilchester, 1660 ; Samuel Dun- ster published Anglia Eedeviva, 1699, (Willard Memori- al). There is also Horace's Satires, Epistles, and Art of Poetry, done into English, with notes, by S. Dunster, D. D., Prebendary of Sarum. London, 1729. 4 Ed. In the life of Henry Dunster, page 254, is a record of one marriage and ten baptisms, furnished by Charles Deane, Esq., of Cambridge, who procured it in 1854 from the Parish Clerk of Bury, in Lancashire. This record did not give any baptisms between 1595 and 1618. Although it appeared identical with some facts in the "Balehoult" Letter, it failed to give satisfaction as to the birth of President D., or reconcile statements made by him. These discrepancies are fully stated by Mr. Chaplin. We sent to Bury and had the record of the old church there examined from 1594 to 1650. An at- tested copy is printed below: " Extracts from the Register of the Parish Church, Bury, Lan- casliire. Anuo. Dom. 1594, June, Robt., son of Henry Dunster. 1595, August, Henry, son of William Dunster. 1597, April, Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Dunster. 1600, August, Daniel, son of Henry Dunster. 1602, March, James, son of Henry Dunster. 1605, August, Robert, son of Henry Dunster. 1606, August, John, son of Henry Dunster. 1609, Nov., Henry, son of Thos.

    Some Books of Early New England Provenance in the 1823 Library of Alleghany College BY EDWIN WOLF, 2ND N 1823, appealing to the Germans of Pennsylvania for I funds to establish a Professorship in German Literature, Timothy Alden, the president of Alleghany College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, stated: "The Library, a most useful and indispensable appendage to any such institution, through the munificence of Winthrop, Bentley, Thomas, and many other benefactors, comprising books in thirty different languages, is the first, except one, as to the excel- lence of the selection and in point of value, belonging to any collegiate institution in the United States."' The Catalogus Bibliothecae Collegii Alleghaniensis, compiled by Alden and printed at Meadville in 1823, confirms the amazing state- ment that at the end of the first quarter of the 19th century a library existed not far from Lake Erie in quality surpassed only by that of Harvard College as an "appendage" to a teaching institution. It is probably also correct to say that among non-teaching institutions only the Library Company of Philadelphia and Jefferson's collection at the Library of Congress were better. It is surprising that for well over a century so important an aggregation of books has been so little known. Searching for books from Franklin's library, I stumbled upon it. To my amazement it produced, not books from Franklin's ' Timothy Alden, A Letter addressed to the Germans of Pennsylvania [Meadville, 1823], 8.

After a few casual observations, he was respectfully re-interred, and a new stone erected to mark his resting place.6 This Bury man, Henry Dunster, lies there, still.7 I think it’s time to dig him up, again. ∗ Vice Captain, Bury Grammar School, 1961-62.

  • Henry Dunster. ENRY Dunster Is Too Little Known
    Henry Dunster. ENRY Dunster is too little known. He was M.A. of H Magdalene College in Cambridge, and in 1640 went to Massachusetts. The settlers aimed at a learned clergy and a lettered people. Within seven years of landing they decided. to. have a college, and set apart a site at a new town named Cambridge. John Harvard had bequeathed £850 and 400 books, so that the General Court decided the college should be named after him. Dunster was at once chosen the first President, having a ·great reputation for Hebrew, Greek and Latin, besides being a fine preacher and an attractive man. He brought the ideals of Protestantism, classical scholarship, a gentleman's education; and he was heartily followed. A charter was planned, imposing no religious test or oath. As revised in 1650 it stated the objects to be advanced in literature, arts and sciences, the education of youth in these things, the education of youth (both English and Indian) in knowledge and godliness. And so a second college was started for the natives who did win degrees. For Dunster naturally transplanted the Cambridge plan of colleges within the university. His enterprise won wide support; endowments were gathered in England, several buildings arose. He revised the uncouth Bay Psalmbook, and started printing. Then came tragedy. John Clarke was a London doctor who had settled on Rhode Island two years before Dunster emigrated. There he had built up a Baptist Church, and as one of his members had moved to Lynn, in Massachusetts, he came with two other members to pay a pastoral visit.
