NOTE R.
NORWICH GENEALOGIES.
Chancellor Walworth has for some three or four years been engaged in preparing a very extended genealogical history of the descendants, in the female as well as in the male lines, of the first William Hyde of Norwich ; embracing very extensive branches of the Post, Abell, Hough. Rudd, Lord, Griswold, Huntington, Lee, Sill, Jewett, Hubbard, Ely, Elliott, Denison, Rogers, Hillhouse, Tracy, Manwaring, Edgerton, Raymond, Collins, Richards, Wait, Metcalf, Selden, Waterman, Marvin, Mather, Sterling, Baldwin, Gifford, Woodbridge, Parsons, Wadhams, Backus, Griffin, Pierpont, Dorr, and other families of Connecticut, whose de- scendants are now scattered and intermingled with other families through- out the United States.
Mr. F. P. Tracy, now of San Francisco, has in preparation a genealogy of the descendants of Lieutenant Thomas Tracy. Before the plan for the recent celebration was announced, he had proposed that a meeting of the Tracy family should be held in Norwich at some time during the present year. Rev. E. B. Huntington, of Stamford, Conn., is compiling a genealogy of the Huntingtons, to which will be added a report of the late meeting of that family, in Norwich. Rev. A. Steele, of Washington, has published a life of Elder Brewster, the ancestor of the Norwich family, . which was called forth by a meeting of the Brewster family in Norwich, and was published under the patronage of James Brewster, Esq., of New Haven. Other Norwich genealogies are in progress, of which I am not authorized to speak.
Dr. Ashbel Woodward, of Franklin, President of the Connecticut Medical Society, has been investigating the history of the medical profes- sion in New London county. The early publication of his researches is greatly to be desired.
NOTE S.
THE FREE ACADEMY.
The Norwich Free Academy was incorporated in May, 1854, having been endowed to the amount of about $100,000, by the gifts of a few generous citizens of Norwich, three of whose subscriptions were for $12,500 each. Of the whole amount raised, $50,000 was reserved as a
--------
121
fund for the maintenance of the school, and with the remainder a lot was secured, and a noble school edifice erected. The academy offers free instruction in the higher branches of study, to all the youth of Norwich, who are disposed to avail themselves of its advantages. The original donors and incorporators of the institution were the following : - R. Hub- bard, W. P. Greene, W. A. Buckingham, W. Williams, H. B. Norton, J. Breed, C. B. Rogers, W. W. Coit, J. L. Greene, D. Tyler, S. C. Morgan, I. M. Buckingham, L. F. S. Foster, D. Smith, J. F. Slater, C. Osgood, E. Williams, L. Blackstone, J. A. Rockwell, L. Ballou, C. J. Stedman, J. P. Gulliver, C. N. Farnam, E. O. Abbott, C. Tracy, A. H. Almy, L. W. Carroll, J. Spalding, S. W. Meech, J. S. Webb, H. Thomas, C. C. Brand, C. Johnson, E. Learned, E. Edwards, A. J. Currier. Joseph Otis, the founder of " the Otis library," was an original donor to the academy, but died before the incorporation. The donors since the incorporation are as follows : - C. A. Converse, A. W. Prentice, T. P. Norton, W. M. Converse, H. Bill, G. Perkins, J. M. Huntington, J. H. Adams, J. N. Perkins.
A fund of $5,000, besides other gifts to the amount of $2.000, has been set apart by Mrs. Harriet Peck Williams, for the establishment of the Peck library.
On the day of the bi-centennial celebration, Mrs. W. P. Greene pre- sented to the academy a lot of land and a house (valued at $8,000) for the residence of the principal of the institution.
The foundation of the academy is due to the suggestion, as well as to the persevering efforts of Rev. John P. Gulliver, whose privilege it was to inaugurate the institution, (Oct. 21, 1856,) by an address, in which. according to a vote of the trustees, a history was given of schools and education in Norwich, and the designs of the founders of the academy were set forth for the information of the public, and the guidance of those who shall be entrusted with its future management. This address, and other papers pertaining to the Free Academy, may be found in Barnard's Journal of Education, vol. 2, p. 665, 1856, and vol. 3, p. 191, 1857. The whole number of pupils from 1856 to 1859 has been 153, 68 boys and 85 girls. Mr. Elbridge Smith has been Principal since the opening.
The establishment of this institution is one of the most honorable events in the history of the town, whether we regard the munificence of the donors, or the wisdom of their plans, or the successful administra- tion of such an important trust.

NOTE T.
NATHAN TISDALE.
Many of the Norwich boys, at the close of the last century, went to school to Master Tisdale in Lebanon. The following sketch of his life has been prepared by Mr. Daniel Hebard : -
Nathan Tisdale, born at Lebanon, Conn., on the 19th of September, A. D. 1732, was the son of Ebenezer Tisdale, who was the fifth in descent from John Tisdale of Duxbury, Mass., afterwards of Taunton, who was the progenitor of all of the name in New England. His father was a blacksmith - a skillful artisan and a sterling patriot, as is evinced by his having been a friend of and counselor with Gov. J. Trumbull. Of his mother, unfortunately we have no record. At the age of sixteen, in common with many of the young men of his native town, Nathan entered Harvard College, and graduated there the following year, 1749, at the early age of seventeen. Among his classmates and acquaintance were Robert Treat Paine and John Adams, by the latter of whom he is said to have been called a better scholar than himself He took a position in his eighteenth year at the head of the school in the " Old Brick School-house " at Lebanon, established mainly through the efforts of the venerable Dr. Williams, and destined under his charge to send forth many of the brightest ornaments to the state, the pulpit, and the bar. There he commenced the training of such men as Hon. Jere- miah Mason, Col. John Trumbull, the " Young Governor Trumbull," Dr. Wheelock, second president of Dartmouth College, Rev. Dr. Lyman of Hatfield, Judge Baldwin, Gen. Eb. Huntington, etc., - by whom he was held in affectionate remembrance. So celebrated was this school that pupils came from the West Indies, and if tradition may be believed, from nine out of thirteen colonies at one time. In certain cases his certificate of fitness was accepted in lieu of an examination for adniis- sion to Yale College. Mr. Tisdale was a strict and severe disciplinarian, allowing nothing to interfere with the business of the school, yet gained the reverence and respect of his pupils, amounting often to warm affec- tion. He was known by the honorable title of " Master." Quite late in life he married the widow of Capt. John Porter, who had four children, and yet continued in charge of the school until the fall or winter of 1786, when broken health, the wants of his family, and pecuniary embarrass- ments, induced him at once to petition the proprietors of the school for relief, and to resign his charge. Scorning under other circumstances to
123
have solicited aid, he refers with glowing pride, which half commands the favor he sues for, to his long and meritorious services, in these words :
" In this business, gentlemen, I have continued nearly the space of forty years, with almost uninterrupted application to the duties of my charge. . I have educated a large number of youth who have done an honor to this school, who have gone forth into the world and have become bright ornaments to society. I have now spent the prime of life, the flower of my days, in this service ; but I have acquired no fortune - and perhaps I may say that I have been more profitable to the community than to myself."
The sum asked was £26 18s., the balance due from him to the pro- prietors, on account of rents collected on children of non-proprietors, but " by a small majority vote," it was determined to defer the disposition of the sum " until another meeting." Thus, in lack of health, the want of means pressing heavily upon him, this good, this great man - whose learning had enriched, whose wisdom guided, whose virtue had been a model for youth during more than a third of a century .- sadly yielded his post of honor, and with the closing year passed away from his labors to his reward. He died on January 5th, A. D. 1787, in the fifty-sixth year of his age, and lies in the ancient burying-ground at Lebanon.
CONCLUDING NOTE.
An account of the " Bi-Centennial celebration" in Norwich, Sept. 7 and S, 1859, has been compiled and published by Mr. John W. Stedman, in a vol- ume entitled " The Norwich Jubilee," (300 pp. 8vo, Norwich, 1859.) The discourses delivered upon that occasion by Rt. Rev. A. Lee, Bishop of Del- aware, Hon. J. A. Rockwell, of Norwich, and Donald G. Mitchell, Esq., of New Haven, the poem of A. G. Chester, Esq., of Rochester, and also the address, which is here re-printed, will be found in that work.
In this second edition of the Historical Discourse (intended for private dis- tribution), the notes have been expanded so as to include some original doc- uments which had never previously seen the light.
In addition to the acknowledgments which have been made in the preced- ing pages, I desire to express the thanks which I owe to J. Hammond Trum- bull, Esq., of Hartford, the learned editor of the Colonial Records of Con- necticut, for the aid which he has generously rendered in the preparation and revision of the foregoing address, and to Edward C. Herrick, Esq., Treas- urer of Yale College, for his frequent and valuable suggestions.
I cannot refrain from saying that the interest which I feel in the history of Norwich is inherited. While it is pleasant for me to trace, on my mother's side, a descent from several of the original settlers of the town, my father's enthusiasm in historical inquiries is associated with my earliest recollections, and has constantly assisted my recent investigations.
