PREFACE In printing the first volume the material was divided equally to make two volumes. But so much new mate­ rial has come in that the manuscript had to be entirely revised and the result is two large volumes instead of one even with considerable compression. The Family is fortunate in having again had the serv­ ices of General Bingham to carry out this arduous labor in the painstaking manner characteristic of all his work. These two volumes complete the publication of data on hand at the time of revision but new material is still coming in. No further volume is in contemplation but supplementary pages will be supplied to members of the Association from time to time as the record grows. Of course, the printing of so much new material has proved quite an unexpected financial burden upon the Association but this is more than offset by the oppor­ tunity to know about so many fine cousins in whom we may have a justifiable pride. President of the Bingham:Association HIRAM BINGHAM United States Senate Connecticut Washington, D. C. 1002 AUTBOIUTIES: Mary E. Perkins; Julia D.

Jabez (1002) lived first at Salisbury, Conn. He spent much time at Lebanon, Conn., and at Hanover, N. H., in both places working for Dr. Eleazar Wheelock. One removal from Lebanon to Hanover was in Sept.-Oct., 1770. He also lived near Cannonsburg, Pa., and perhaps at Washington, Pa. In 1796 he went to Hocking River Valley near Athens, 0., with his brother Silas (1006). d. m. One writer says Mary Mitchell, prob. before 1770. Wm. T. B. ( 4992880) says, prob. mar.

Bingham (4992880) from Dartmouth College records. Salisbury, Conn., Nov. 5, 1765 From (141) Jabez & Mary (Wheelock) Bingham (sister to Sarah, wife of (90) To (Rev. Dr.) Eleazar Wheelock at Lebanon, Conn. I would inform you that after 25 days confinement Mr. Dean saw fit to grant Liberty to Bror Benaiah (148) & I. We life comfortable as heretofore. I should be exceedingly glad if the Sui:comstances of your family would admit of Jabez's (1002) comeing to your School. He can be under no advantage of Learning att home. (Jabez (1002) was now 17-18 years old.) (?'lace not given, prob. Salisbury, Conn.) March 26, 1770 Mary (Wheelock) Bingham, wife of Jabez (141) to Eleazar Wheelock (prob. at Lebanon, Conn., or Hanover, N. H.). My son (Jabez, No. 1002) I commit to your care. From Jabez (1002) Bingham To (Rev. Dr.) Eleazar Wheelock at Hanover, N. H. Honored Uncle I had a long & Fiteaging Jurney home (speaks of removal of family). Arrived home 3rd inst. (2) 1002 Lebanon, Sept. 6, 1770 Benzah Woodward to Eleazar Wheelock Bingham ( 1002) arrived home well last week & proposes to set out with two teams about the 10 inst. We have all of us been endeavoring to expedite the removal ever since he came home, but I fear Madam ( ?) will not be able to set out so soon. She, with Miss Nabby (perhaps a relative living with them), propose to rid in the Post Chaise as soon as they can possibly be ready. Hutchinson is _to drive for them. The ------ will likely, the most of them, foot it when Bingham goes. Madam is so weak that a little croud overcomes her, that she has her poor turns very often ; tho' on the whole I hope she is on the mending hand. I fear the fatigue of preparing & the journey will be too much for her-to be sure she takes both very leisurely. We have been examining the Scholars this week. I find they make a very good appearance x x x then return & accompany Madam & Family to Cohos (N. Y.?). Mary & Oo --?-- I expect will ride up in the carts. Source-W. T.

All things go on well respecting the farming business. I want to sea the Leace that Capt.

I want a spirit of prayer for them but cant feal a Desire to serve them therein as i ought to Dow-pray honoured ouncle, pray for me & them in all your addresses to the thron of grace.
