TO
MY FRIEND,
D. WILLIAMS PATTERSON

AN ENTHUSIASTIC, PATIENT AND ACCURATE GENEALOGIST;
A SINCERE LOVER OF THE TRUTH, WHICH IS THE SOUL OF HISTORY ;
THIS VOLUME
IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED.
1195121 NOTE.
Three years ago, when I published the History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Conn., I was induced, if not compelled, by a super-abundance of material, to give my subscribers, without additional charge, over 300 pages more than was promised them-an act of generosity which, as it is easy to see, was much more advantageous to them than to me. And when, at last, relieved from the burdens of authorship and financial cares, I felt that I certainly had fully paid (both principal and interest) my share of the debt of love which I owed to the old town of Windsor; and little dreamed that I should ever again put myself in harness for her historical benefit. But, un- fortunately for my " sweet dream of peace," I found myself inwrought into old Windsor's history and interest. I could not henceforth be an uninterested looker on, and found myself still tracing out the lines of her ancient families, and that-shall I confess it-there was an indefinable charm, for me, in all that pertained to Windsor history. Many errors I detected in the printed volume- some of clerical, others of typographical origin-some evident faults of com- mission, and not unfrequently a fault of omission. These were to have been expected ; the utmost circumspection could not have guarded entirely against them, in a work of such size, and containing so many dates, names, etc. Cor- respondents also constantly furnished me new suggestions, ingenious elucida- tions, " missing links," and " unknown quantities," which threw new light and value upon my printed page. New sources of authority also came to light, by the discovery of ancient records in unthought-of hiding places. What won- der is it, then, that the notes which gradually enriched the margins of my library copy of the Windsor History, soon grew so voluminous as to suggest the idea of a Supplement ? For what Genealogist or Historian, who, when he has found a new fact, or a " nugget," is not willing, like the woman in the parable, to call his friends and co-laborers together, saying, " Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost ?" Therefore, I have compiled this Supplement ; if it convicts me of shortcomings in my former work, it will, at least, assure my friends of my desire to make good any de- ficiencies, and to add to their pleasure and profit,

HISTORY OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.
I have not blown my trumpet long and loud about this Supplement (for honestly, I was afraid of awaking the echoes), but have compiled it simply of the new material which has come to hand since the publication of the History.
I am under especial obligations to H. SIDNEY HAYDEN, Town Clerk of Windsor; to the Town Clerk of Windsor Locks; Mrs. HIRAM B. CASE, wife of the Town Clerk of Bloomfield; Rev. GEO. B. NEWCOMB of Bloomfield; D. WILLIAMS PATTERSON of West Winsted; CHAS. J. HOADLY and Hon. J. HAM- MOND TRUMBULL of Hartford; and to SAMUEL H. PARSONS and EDWIN STEARNS of Middletown, for favors received in the compilation of this volume.
And now, as I lay down my pen from correcting the last proof of this'Sup- plement, I feel that my " labor of love " for Ancient Windsor is finished. If the citizens of that venerable town have need, in the future, of the services of a historian, they need not apply to their true friend,
Woodbridge, N. J., Nov., 1862. HENRY REED STILES, M. D.
ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS VOLUME.
In addition to those used in the History of Ancient Windsor, and which are probably familiar to its readers, we have employed the following :
E. W. C. R .- The Record of Baptisms in the 2d Church of Windsor, after- wards the Ist Church of East Windsor, and now the 1st Church of South Windsor, from 1761-1845; sometimes called the Cook Record, from the family by whom it was commenced and kept for many years. R. Mss .- An ancient private record of Births, Marriages and Deaths in Win- tonbury parish (now Bloomfield township); furnished to us by Eliza Mills Rundall of Seneca Falls, N. Y.
N, S. R .- The Pastoral Records of the North Society of Windsor, under the ministry of the Rev. Theodore Hinsdale, 1761-1794.
W. C. R .- The Records of the First Church of Windsor, commenced by the Rev. D. S. Rowland. Marriages, 1777-1846; Baptisms, 1790-1855; Deaths, 1790-1857.
Wby. C. R .- The Records of the First Church of Wintonbury parish (near Bloomfield, Ct.), Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1738-1830.
Mss. Col. Rec .- Three volumes of ancient Colonial Records, recently disco- vered by C. J. Hoadly, State Librarian of Connecticut, and deposited in the State Library at Hartford. These volumes contain transcripts of the Land Records, and of the Births, Marriages and Deaths of Wind- sor, Fairfield, Wethersfield, and some other towns, recorded by order of court, and thus forming duly authenticated and reliable records.
Bap., Baptized.
Prob., Probably.
Poss., Possibly.
Ment., Mentioned.
N. B .- Genealogists will hardly need my recommendation to examine Trumbull's Col. Rec. of Connecticut ; Hoadly's Records of the New Haven Colo- ny, and Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, in connection with any investiga- tions which they may make into Windsor families. In the latter grand and valuable work, some corrections will be found for my Windsor History-dis- crepancies between the works must be settled by patient investigation-yet no one can feel sure that he has exhausted his subject unless he has com- pared my volume with the three works mentioned above, and which are in- exhaustible treasuries of genealogical information.

P. 22, 1. 41, add the same Edward Preston probably, who settled afterwards at New Haven.
P. 22, 1. 42, Edward Pattison, seems not to have been a land holder at Windsor, but to have early removed to New Haven, where (according to New Haven Col. Rec., II, 18) he signed the fundamental agreement, June 4, 1639. New Eng. His. and Gen. Reg., Ix, 362, shows that sister Pattison, wife of Edward, had two children baptized, John, January, 1644, and Elizabeth, July 12, 1644, at New Haven. John probably died young, as Dodd's East Haven Register, p. 149, shows, that in 1662, Thomas Smith m. Elizabeth only child of Ed. Pattison, and gives their descendants. He also shows that Pattison d. Oct. 31, 1669. D. W. PATTERSON of West Winsted, Conn., in com- municating the above facts concerning his ancestor, says : "I suppose your authority for saying that he was in the neighborhood of Hartford as late as 1670, is (Conn. Col. Rec., II, p. 130) the grant of land to him by the General Court at its May session, 1670, and this puzzled me when taken in connec- tion with Dodd's record of his death in 1669. But his petition was very likely prepared for the October session in 1669, and not acted upon until May, 1670 ; for in Conn. Col. Rec., III, 116, is a notice from Thos. Smith (his son-in- law) that he had procured the grant of land to Edward Patterson to be laid out to himself, and the court approved it, ' he being the heire of sayd Patte- son ; ' this last you see reconciles the whole."

And yt neither the said William nor any other shall any way hinder, or directly or indirectly prevent John Bissel's compounding with ye Indian for that land."
Pp. 124 and 125. Addenda to description of The Town House. Mr. JABEZ H. HAYDEN of Windsor Locks, to whose surveys we are mainly indebted, as before stated, for this plan and distribution of Ancient Windsor, has, since the publication of the foregoing, sent us the following note, relative to the Palizado : "I am not quite satisfied with Matthew Grant's figures yet ; the Palizado does not prove exactly, though pretty near it. I am more and more confirmed in the opinion that the present 'parsonage' stands on the ' Town House lot,' which gives the north bounds of the Palizado, and there is no question about the other three sides."
P. 137, 1. 9 and 10. Addenda to remarks on Broad Street, by J. H. Hay- den : "I do not now remember the earliest date at which the present Broad Street is noticed, but it was, at first, but six rods wide where the present traveled road is. I find that when Mr. Warham and his wife Abigail (April 1, 1664), made over the dwelling house and land of John Branker, deceased, it bounded 'east by the highway on the bank against the Little Meadow, and westerly, against or by the highway as it is appointed to range;' proving that at that date the highway on the east had not been changed to its present place, and one would infer that what is now Broad street was then only ap- pointed or set out, and not in use. Broad street was at first but six rods

wide, and was probably widened by the owners on the east side, when the highway on the upland against Little Meadow (on which they built) was re- moved to its present location, that they might bring the street nearer their houses. When they rebuilt, they of course, placed their houses behind their barns, and facing the new Broad street."
P. 159, 1. 41. This " setting in the yard," was in other words, guard or sentinel duty in the meeting house yard during divine service, a precaution quite necessary in those days of savage invasion and surprises. The follow- ing item from the records ( Windsor Rec., II, p. 13) explains the matter some- what more clearly : " The townes[men ] meet, and Ephraim Strong and Na- thaniel Pinne demanded paye for setting in the yard, and they are allowed to be payed 2s. apiece out of ye towne-rate, and so likewise others that stand in like account with them as have set in ye yard without their 2 1b. of puder [ powder] a man payed to them, but was promised 12 pence a man to each man, in lieu of puder."
P. 160, after 1. 30, insert the following interesting incident, extracted from the Remarkable Providences of Rev. Increase Mather, a book which, from its extreme scarcity, has been almost unknown to our authors hitherto, and has only recently been made available by its re-publication in London, under the editorship of George Offer, Esq.
Mather says (p. 24 of the above London edition) : "In the next place we shall take notice of some remarkable preservations which sundry in Windsor in New England have experienced; the persons concerned therein being de - sirous that the Lord's goodness towards them may be ever had in remem- brance, wherefore a faithful hand has given me the following account : Jan. 13, 1670 .- Three women, viz : the wives of Lieut. Filer, and of Jolin Drake, and of Nathaniel Lomas, having crossed Connecticut river upon a necessary and neighborly account,* and having done the work they went for, were desirous to return to their own families, the river being at that time partly shut up with ice, old and new, and partly open. There being some pains taken aforehand to cut a way through the ice, the three women above- said got into a canoe, with whom also there was Nathaniel Bissell and an Indian. There was likewise another canoe with two men in it, that went before them to help them, in case they should meet with any distress, which indeed quickly came upon them, for just as they were getting out of the narrow passage between the ice, being near the middle of the river, a greater part of the upper ice came down upon them, and struck the end of their canoe, and broke it to pieces, so that it quickly sunk under them. The Indian speedily got upon the ice, but Nathaniel Bissell and the abovesaid women were left floating in the middle of the river, being cut off from all manner of human help besides what did arise from themselves, and the two men in the little canoe, which was so small that three persons durst seldom, if ever, venture in it. They were, indeed, discerned from one shore,

but the dangerous ice would not admit from either shore one to come near them. All things thus circumstanced, the suddenness of the stroke and distress (which is apt to amaze men, especially when no less than life is con - cerned), the extreme coldness of the weather, it being a sharp season, that persons out of the water were in danger of freezing, the unaptness of persons to help themselves, being mostly women, one big with child, and near the time of her travail (who also was carried away under the ice), the other as unskilled and inactive to do anything for self-preservation as almost any could be, the waters deep, that there was no hope of footing, no passage to either shore in any eye of reason, neither with their little canoe, by reason of the ice, nor without it, the ice being thin and rotten, and full of holes. Now that all should be brought off safely without the loss of life, or wrong to healthı, was counted in the day of it a remarkable Providence. To say how it was done, is difficult, yet, something of the manner of the deliverance may be mentioned. The abovesaid Nathaniel Bissell, perceiving their danger, and being active in swimming, endeavored what might be the preservation of him- self and some others; he strove to have swum to the upper ice, but the stream being too hard, he was forced downwards to the lower ice, where, by reason of the slipperiness of the ice, and disadvantage of the stream, he found it difficult getting up; at lengthi by the good hand of Providence, being gotten upon the ice, he saw one of the women swimming down under the ice, and perceiving a hole or open place some few rods below, there he watched, and took her up as she swam along. The other two women were in the river till the two men in the little canoe came for their relief At length all of them got their heads above the water and had a little time to pause, though a long and difficult, and dangerous way to any shore, but by getting their little canoe upon the ice, and carrying one at a time over hazard- ous places, they did (though in a long while) get all safe to the shore from whence they came."
P. 162. At the end of the chapter, add the following from p. 223 of the above quoted work :
" July 20, 1683, a considerable flood unexpectedly arose, which proved detrimental to many in that colony [i. e., Connecticut]. But on August 13, a second and more dreadful flood came. The waters were then observed to rise twenty-six feet above their usual boundaries; the grass in the meadow, also the English grain was carried away before it; the Indian corn, by the long continuance of the waters is spoiled, so that the four river towns, viz : Windsor, Hartford, Wethersfield, Middletown are extream sufferers. They write from thence that some who had hundreds of bushels of corn in the morning, at night had not one peck left for their families to live upon."
P. 190. In regard to the Rev. Mr. Woodbridge, we have the following from Mr. John Ward Dean of Boston, in a letter to the author :
" My ancestor, Rev. Benj. Woodbridge, appears to have had opponents (and 2

adherents, too), wherever he was. After he left Windsor, he preached in Bristol, now in the state of Rhode Island, and after that in Medford, Mass. One curious circumstance concerning him was related to me recently by the Rev. Mr. Page of Cambridge. There was trouble between him and a portion of his flock at Medford, and the matter was carried before the General Court or Legislature, who ordered that the town should pay Mr. W. the amount due him, amounting to a considerable sum, and that the church should then proceed to choose a pious and learned minister for their pastor. The money was paid, and the church called together to choose a pastor, and the choice fell upon the Rev. Benjamin Woodbridge, the old pastor. There was some wincing, but the opponents could not deny that he was a pious and learned minister, and the General Court had not ordered the church to choose another man."
P. 202, 1. 4, for Crane read Crow.
P. 208, 1. 25, for Tyler, read Fyler; same on 28th line.
P. 211, after line 34, insert the following item : "December 8, 1709, li- berty was granted by the town to Jonathan Ellsworth, Thomas Marshall and Thomas Moore, to erect a mill on the mill brook on the south side of the rivulet, provided it be built within two years."
P. 221, 1. 35, for 1757, read 1657.
P. 225, note, for Ebenezer, read Elijah; same on page 323.
P. 252, 1. 23, for west, read east.
P. 253, after 1. 34 add " Zebulon Seymour, carp'r began work on meeting house, July 6, 1761, ceased Nov. 7." The "seating " of the new edifice was completed on 15 of October, and in the old record of baptisms, is the follow- ing entry : "November 22, 1761, that was the first sabbath [we] met in, our new meeting house, there was four children baptized that day."
P. 255, after 1. 8, insert the following : Mr. A. S. Kellogg of Vernon, Conn., has kindly called our attention to the fact that, in the year 1760, a part of the Second Society in Windsor, was set off to help form the Society of North Bolton, He says : "Something respecting this may be found in the Records of the Colony, vols. VIII and IX, but most of the papers are in the State Li- brary," Ecclesiastical, vol. XII. " They are under the title North Bolton, which accounts for their not having attracted your attention. My notes are very brief and incomplete, but, if I made correct abstracts, the Assembly, in May, 1750, appointed a committee upon the memorials of Benj. Stoughton and others, of Windsor, for an Ecclesiastical Society, with certain limits ; and of Isaac Jones and others, of Bolton, for an Ecclesiastical Society, with certain other limits. In each case it was reported that they were "too few." Feb- ruary 12, 1754, Isaac Jones, Moses Thrall and John Hills of Bolton, David Smith, John Searl and Joseph Steadman of the South [or Second] Society of Windsor, and John Craw and Samuel Hills of the Parish of Ellington, petitioned for an Ecclesiastical Society. April 23, 1760, a final petition was granted, and in Oct. 1760, North Bolton was made a society, its north and

west boundaries being thus defined in the resolution : (Starting from the northeast corner of Bolton) thence turning westward in the line between Bol- ton and Ellington, to Bolton northwest corner, and still continuing the same course into Ellington about a mile and a half and forty-two rods; thence turning and running southwardly at the west end of the second tier of lots to Hartford line; thence turning eastward in said line to Bolton or the T ditch ; thence turning southwardly one mile in the line betwixt the towns of Hartford and Bolton; thence eastward to the first mentioned bounds."
These " Hartford lines" are the present boundaries of Manchester, and the T ditch is at the N. E. corner of Manchester.
The part taken from Windsor seems to have been a rhomboid, its longer sides being the present west line of Vernon, and a parallel line running from the re-entrant angle in the S. W. corner of the town. The line of Windsor, and afterwards of East Windsor, used to pass within 60 or 80 rods of the site of the present meeting house at Vernon Center.
