JOHN and JANE MATHEW. He was most likely named, as the second son, after his mother’s surname. This seems to be a custom that appears among landed gentry and in several St. John generations. The first son is usually named after the paternal family by either taking the father or grandfather or current tenement-in- chief’s name and the second son takes the mother’s surname as a first name. With his father, Thomas, being a younger son himself, his marriage to the female heir of the Mathew family offered Thomas or one of his sons a greater chance of rising himself to tenant-in-chief of the Mathew estate.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

  • East Norwalk Historical Cemetery
    Welcome to the Self-Guided Tour of the East Norwalk Historical Cemetery Please take this packet with you as you stroll around this Ancient Burial Ground containing some of Norwalk’s First Settlers, Brave Soldiers, Religious Leaders, Notable Individuals and Generations of Plain Citizen of Norwalk, Connecticut. There is a lot going on here, and a lot of history to be preserved. Please show proper respect and watch your step on the uneven ground. The first thing you may notice is a number of tipped or broken stones: While from time to time there have been occasional acts of vandalism, much of what you see is the result of natural settling, overgrown trees and shrubs, and the effects of the environment on ancient stone. Rest assured that work is underway, through the efforts of the Third Taxing District Commission (TTD) and the East Norwalk Historical Cemetery Association (ENHCA), to right, repair, preserve and maintain these monuments. We are working with experts in the specialized field of Gravestone Preservation to allow these markers to last for generations to come. Also be aware that much of the unevenness of the ground is the result of early burial practices. Unlike modern concrete vaults, as caskets and remains returned to the earth, the soil settled above them leaving uneven ground. Some Cemetery Preservationists believed that the ground should remain as is. Something else that stands out is the American Flags in numerous stones: These flags honor the contribution of the many brave soldiers who have served our country, (some before this was a country) from “Indian” battles down through many wars and conflicts since, including The Revolution and the Civil War.

    HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES OF OLD FAIRFIELD VOLUME I. Compiled and Edited by DONALD LINES JACOBUS, M.A. 0 For THE EUNICE DENNIE BURR CHAPTER DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT 1930 GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH COMMITTEE ANNIE BURR JENNINGS LORETTA BRUNDIGE PERRY HELEN TURNEY SHARPS, Chairman THE TUTTLE, MOREHOUSE & TAYLOR COMPANY, NEW HAVEN, CONN. COMPILER'S PREFACE On May 22, 1929, I was engaged to compile the history of the Fairfield families for the Eunice Dennie Burr Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and on November 27, 1929, the date of present writing, the first volume is practically complete and the first section has been placed in the printer's hands. It can be asserted, without much fear of contradiction, that no genealogical work of equal magnitude has ever been compiled with such incredible rapidity. Several factors have made this rapid progress possible. In the past, my work has taken me to Fairfield frequently, and in consequence I had a great deal of material on the early generations, which I contributed as a beginning for the work. My mother, Mrs. John I. Jacobus, has been a most capable assistant, when working in Fairfield, copying vital records and abstracting later probate records, while I was engaged on other parts of the work. Copies of material in printed sources and at the Fairfield Historical Society were typed for me by my secretary, Miss Pearl Beloff. Without this "staff" of clerical assistants, the work would have taken several months longer. I have also given my own time in no niggardly fashion, for many weeks working almost every evening on the task of compilation until one or two in the morning.
