The History of Rowley 1 THE HISTORY OF ROWLEY, ANCIENTLY INCLUDING BRADFORD, BOXFORD, AND GEORGETOWN, FROM THE YEAR 1639 TO THE PRESENT TIME. By THOMAS GAGE. WITH AN ADDRESS, DELIVERED SEPTEMBER 5, 1839, AT THE CELEBRATIOX OF THE SECOND CENTENIAL ANNIVERSARY OF ITS SETTLEMENT. By REV. JAMES BRADFORD. BOSTON: FERDINAND ANDRE'VS. 1840. 2 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1840, by THOMAS GAGE, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. Electronic Version Prepared by Dr. Ted Hildebrandt 3/12/2002 CAMBRIDGE: FOLS0M, WELLS, AND THURSTON, PRINTERS TO THE UNIVERSITY. 3 PREFACE. THE early history of every town furnishes many incidents worth preserving. Some of them may be uninteresting to strangers; but to native inhabitants, descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers, they all have an interest. To preserve such facts and incidents as are supposed to be more particularly interesting to the descendants of the first settlers of the ancient town of Row ley, is the object of the following pages. The 5th day of September, 1839, having been set apart, in pursuance of a vote of the town, for the purpose of celebrating the second centennial anniversary of its settlement, such material facts were collected, as were judged proper to be in- corporated into addresses to be delivered on the occasion. The address, by the Rev. Mr. Brad- ford, (which makes a part of this volume,) and another by Thomas E. Payson, Esquire, were delivered, the latter of which related to the civil history of the town, which it was very desirable to have printed, and a request was accordingly 4 iv PREFACE. made for this purpose, with which Mr. Payson did not think best to comply.* There having been much information collected at that time, and since, relating to the early his- tory of the place, it was the wish of the inhab- itants of the town that something, in addition to the Address of Mr. Bradford, might be published; and they having, by vote, granted to the Com- piler of the ensuing sheets the exclusive right of publishing this work, he, with diffidence in his ability for undertaking it, consented to comply with their desires. It may, perhaps, be proper to add, that, in its compilation, the records and files of ancient pa- pers, of the Colonial, Provincial, and State Gov- ernments of Massachusetts, of the County Courts, registry of deeds and of probate, records of the towns, parishes, churches, and societies of an- cient Rowley, have all been examined with as much care and attention as time would permit; as also the works of various ancient historians, as Winthrop, Johnson, Hubbard, Mather, Lech- ford, Josselyn, Massachusetts Historical Collec- tions, with other ancient and modern works. * The following communication is his reply to the request. "Andover, October 1, 1839. "To Willard Holbrook, Thomas Gage, and Joshua Jewett. "Gentlemen, -- The expression of your thanks for my address on the 5th ultimo, has been received, together with your polite request for a copy for publication. Please accept my thanks for the same; but I must respectfully decline having the address published. "Yours, &c. THOMAS E. PAYSON." 5 PREFACE. v Having thus done what he could to bring out from the rubbish of years, the historical memen- tos of his native place, he now presents the col- lection of them, with his sincere desire, that it may not be unacceptable to his townsmen and friends, and that it may, in some measure, be, to the present and succeeding generations, as an eminence, from which they may be enabled to look back upon the generations of their ances- tors, who have already acted their parts upon life's stage; -- even to that time, when the ven- erable Rogers and his company of sixty families were engaged in erecting log-houses for their shelter from the storm, in the midst of the then dense forest which covered the ground, where the pleasant village of Rowley now stands. Before we proceed to the work it is thought best to notice some of the measures adopted by the town, relative to their Centennial Celebra- tion, and also to annex thereto the order of exercises for that celebration. At a meeting of the inhabitants, held April 2, 1839, it was voted, That they will set apart some day, during the present year, for the pur- pose of celebrating the second centennial anni- versary of the settlement of the town; and that the Rev. Willard Holbrook, Joshua Jewett, Thom- as Gage, Thomas Payson, Amos Saunders, Thom- 6 vi PREFACE. as How Daniel N. Prime, Edward Smith, Rich- ard Kimball, Benjamin H. Smith, Oliver Blackin- ton, and Nathaniel Mighill, be a committee, with instructions, to respectfully invite the inhabitants of Georgetown, (who have been of us and with us until lately,) to join with us in the celebration, requesting them to appoint a committee of their own citizens, to join with the committee of this town in making all necessary arrangements for the celebration; and as the towns of Bradford and Boxford were originally a part of Rowley, to invite the inhabitants of those towns, also, to join in the celebration. The committee were further instructed to compile, or cause to be compiled from early history, from the records of the State, county, and town, and from the rec- ords of the several ancient churches, once or now belonging to the town of Rowley, and from all other available sources, all such matters and facts, connected with the settlement and history of the town, as they may think proper; and to procure some suitable person, to select there- from such material matters and facts as he may deem most interesting and suitable to be incor- porated into an address, to be by him delivered on the occasion. The committee were instruct- ed to appoint a day for the celebration, and to make all necessary arrangements for the occa- sion. They subsequently appointed Thursday, 7 PREFACE. vii the 5th day of September for the celebration, and invited the Rev. James Bradford, of Sheffield, and Thomas E. Payson, Esquire, of Andover, to deliver each an address on that day. They ac- cepted the invitation, and performed the duty as- signed them. ORDER OF EXERCISES. 1. VOLUNTARY. By the Band. 2. ANTHEM. " Praise the Lord." -- COMER. 3. READING OF THE SCRIPTURE. BY REV. ISAAC BRAMAN. [From a Bible printed in 1611.] 4. SINGING. BY THE CHOIR. [A portion of the 107th Psalm, as turned into metre, and set to a tune in a singing-book printed in 1604. To be read, line by line, as by Deacons in days of yore. The reading by Deacon JOSHUA JEWETT.] 1 Give thanks unto the Lord our God, for gracious is hee : And that his mercie hath no ende, all mortall men may see. 2 Such as the Lord redeemed hath, with thanks should praise his name; and show how they fro -- foes were freed, and how he wrought the same. 8 viii PREFACE. 3 Hee gathered them foorth of the lands, that lay so far about : From East to West, fro -- North to South, His hand did find them out. 7 And by that way that was most right, Hee led them like a guide : That they might to a citie goe, and there also abide. 37 That they may sow their pleasant land, and vineyards also plant: To yeeld them fruit of such encrease, as none may seem to want. 38 They multiply exceedingly, the Lord doth bless them so ; Who doth also their brute beasts make, numbers great to grow. 5. PRAYER. BY REV. WILLARD HOLBROOK. 6. ORIGINAL ODE. BY DANIEL N. PRIME, OF ROWLEY. Supreme, eternal God, Who sits enthroned above, By whose Almighty power, The wheels of nature move; Oh! wilt Thou deign this day to hear, Our grateful song and humble prayer. When in the days old, The fathers of our race From persecution fled, To seek a resting place; Where they in peace might worship Thee, From cruel priests and tyrants free. 9 PREFACE. ix Then Thy protecting hand Did guide them safely o'er, Whilst they the ocean crossed, To this then desert shore; And ROGERS, with his little band, Safely arrived on freedom's land. Two hundred times our earth Has run its annual round, Since on this pleasant plain, A safe retreat they found; And on this spot a church did raise, And dedicate it to Thy praise. And ever since that hour, Here have Thy temples stood, Here have our fathers met, To praise the living God! Whose boundless power and matchless grace, Created and sustains our race. And now may we their sons, While in thy courts this day, With grateful hearts adore, With contrite spirits pray; That He who was our fathers' friend, Their children here would still defend. Through future ages may Our sons and daughters join, With cheerful heart and voice, In worship so divine; Here Lord remain and bless our race, Through every age till time shall cease. 7.

AIR-- "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," BY HON. GEORGE LUNT, OF NEWBURYPORT. Come, pour to lofty numbers, Your voices in the strain, Let every heart that slumbers, Awake to joy again. The golden dawn returning, Shall bid our bosoms glow, For that in heaven burning, Two hundred years ago. That day whose wondrous story, Our fathers oft have told; That day whose deepening glory Let age on age unfold,-- When hoary sire and childhood, And youths in virgin glow, Stood underneath the wildwood, Two hundred years ago.

The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

  • Biography of Rev. Stephen Bachiler
    Page updated: April 27, 2010 Return to Rev. Stephen Bachiler Table of Contents Stephen Bachiler An Unforgiven Puritan By Victor C. Sanborn Concord, NH New Hampshire Historical Society -- 1917 The story which I have to tell concerns the biography of one who lived through the years of the most wonderful century of English history, that period from 1560 to 1660. Those years marked the youth and splendor of British achievement in the realm of spiritual awakening, of literary and intellectual development, and of commercial activity, colonization, and world building. In the hundred years I have mentioned Puritanism made its first successful stand against the English church, which still clung to Romish superstition. They saw, those golden years, the imperishable dramas of Shakespeare unfolded to the world, the lofty verse of Milton, the graceful muse of Jonson, and the brilliant philosophy of Bacon. For them the poetical soul, the chivalrous life and death of Sir Philip Sidney, were current fact, not history and tradition. In that short century lived and died the great freebooters of the virgin seas, Raleigh and Drake, Frobisher and Hawkins. Less afraid of new worlds than of old creeds, the Pilgrims and the Puritans in that century left their homes in the " haunt of ancient peace," and sought fresh soil wherein to plant the colony which was to grow into our present vast spreading republic. The feeble, pedantic, and pleasure loving Stuarts saw in that century the sceptre snatched from their hands, when Hampden, Cromwell, and Harry Vane turned England from a kingdom into a commonwealth. In the same period Holland became a Protestant republic in spite of the bloody persecutions of Philip.

In his seventies he began his memoir to tell his children of "God's remarkable providences . in bringing me to this land." A devout man, he interprets the lack of food for his body as part of God's providing food for the soul, in this case the souls of the Puritans as they created their religious haven. thought good, my dear children, to leave with you some account of God’s remarkable providences to me, in bringing me into this land and placing me here among his dear servants and in his house, who I am most unworthy of the least of his mercies. The Scripture requireth us to tell God’s wondrous works to our children, that they may tell them to their children, that God may have glory throughout all ages. Amen. I was born in England, in Sallcom, in Devonshire, in the year of our Lord 1609. My father was a man fearing God, and in good esteem among God’s faithful servants.

  • The Autobiography of Increase Mather
    The Autobiography of Increase Mather I-DÎTED BY M. G. HALL j^ STRETCH a point to call this maTiuscript an W autobiography. Actually it i.s a combinatioa of aiito- biograpliy and political tract and journal, in which the most formal part comes first and the rest was added on lo it as occasion offered. But, the whole is certainly auto- biographical and covers Increase Mather's life faithfull}'. It was tlie mainstay of Cotton Mather's famous biograpliy Pareniator, which appeared in 1724, and of Kenneth Mur- dock's Increase Miiîher, whicli was published two liundred and one years later.^ Printing the autobiography Jiere is in no way designed to improve or correct Mather's biog- raphers. They have done well by him. But their premises and purposes were inevitabiy different from liis. I'he present undertaking is to let Increase Matlier also be lieard on tlie subject of himself. Readers who wish to do so are invited to turn witliout more ado to page 277, where tliey may read the rjriginal without interruption. For tjiose who want to look before they leap, let me remind tliem of tlie place Increase Mather occu[!Íes in tlie chronology of his family.

Letterbooks. Bound letterbooks. Volume 3, 1803-1818 ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Historical Note The Academy has received letters, announcements, and other forms of correspondence since the founding in 1780. All such correspondence was the responsibility of the Corresponding Secretary, one of the original officers of the Academy. Beginning sometime in the late 1800s, incoming letters were pasted into bound scrapbooks, which the Academy referred to as “letterbooks.” This practice continued until 1988, when staff began saving correspondence in folders. For the time period covered by Volume 3, the Presidents of the Academy were John Adams (1791-1814) and Edward Augustus Holyoke (1814-1820). The Corresponding Secretaries were John Quincy Adams (1802-1809) and Josiah Quincy (1809-1823). Scope and Content The series of letterbooks in its entirety includes letters from newly-elected Fellows, formally accepting their elections; communications with other learned societies (especially, invitations to attend meetings or send representatives to official events, and offers to exchange publications); correspondence concerning gifts of books, maps, and natural history specimens; and inquiries from members and non- members regarding the submission and publication of articles. Volume 3 contains letters and other documents received by the American Academy from 1803 to 1818. Most of this incoming correspondence pertains to the election of members and other administrative duties.
