JOSHUA BISHOP .- A short but influential life sometimes out- reaches in wide results one of length of days. Joshua Bishop, son of Capt. Reuben and Abigail Bishop, born April 19. 1814; with hardly an average common-school education, when about twenty years old, found himself located in New York City. Through social arquaintance and church connection, he came in contact with those philanthropists and pioneer Abolitionists, Lewis and Arthur Tappan, and as they in New York, so did he in Lisbon circulate the anti- slavery literature of that period, which made lifelong Abolitionists of thousands of those who lived to rejoice when emancipation was accomplished by the pen of President Lincoln.


This same young man, who had but a little over half a dozen years of active life left for him to live, made the acquaintance of Dr. John Burdell, a prominent and eminent dentist, who influenced him to study for the profession of dentistry. At this time the text books on dentistry were mostly in French and German. He, with re- markable insight, foresaw, as he studied the great importance of this profession to the human race, its possibilities and the aptitude of the Americans to take the lead in its future development and make it, as they have, essentially an American profession. Not a large city in the world to-day but has its American dentist honored abroad. as at home. The profession of dentistry has the credit of discovering anæsthetics, that invaluable boon to suffering mankind. Mr. Chip- man, in searching the records of Lisbon's professional men, reports four dentists. This Joshua Bishop, who was undeniably the first to enter the profession from Lisbon, and who practiced in New York City and in the West Indies, was influential in having at least five followers from Lisbon, three of whom were his own brothers.

CAPTAIN BURNHAM'S INN


This old stage tavern or inn, was kept for a long time by Capt. Benj. Barnham, who built the present house on an old tavern site. It was kept later by Capt. Reuben. Bishop, father of the author, whose boyhood days were spent there; it was a tavern where the stage line between Boston and New York changed its horses. It was, at the time of the cholera scare in '3e and '33, a busy place, where daily three stages in each direction drew up their foaming, panting horses upon the front green, the post-horn's mellow tones having heralded their arrival.


Historians of our Revolutionary Strife are on record as saying. "On Saturday, September 3d. during the carlier struggle in the Revolutionary war, at 4 o'clock. P. M., an express arrived at Norwich from Col. Israel Putnam (whose home was not many miles from that locality) that Boston had been attacked the night before and six of the citizens killed. This was but a rumor, but it caused the greatest consternation.


The citizens of Norwich assembled about their liberty tree, then ad- journed to the Court House and resolved to dispatch an expres, to Provi- dence to learn the truth of the report.


David Nevins volunteered on this service, as he had on many similar occasions, and departed at eight o'clock P. M. On Sunday morning 404 men. well equipped. and the greater part mounted on good horses, had already started for Boston. under command of Maj. John Durkee, and ren- dezvoused at Capt. Burnham's Inn, seven miles from Norwich Court House. where they, at eleven o'clock A. M. were met by the return of Mr. Nevins with information that the report was not true, whereupon they dispersed."

CHAPTER V.


Having thus recorded a long list of the many distinguished persons of Lisbon, the writer feels sure he has omitted many others equally deserving of notice, which should find place in Lisbon's history ; but it is quite impossible to get full and reliable records of prominent men who have left Lisbon for other fields of activity. There are over thirty persons whose names are on record as grad- uates of Yale College from Lisbon. Then Union College. N. Y., Harvard, Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, Western Reserve and Oberlin Colleges, who have also had Lisbon boys to educate.


In a list of ministers originating in Lisbon. Rev. Mr. Chipman gave the names of thirty-three who had become ministers up to 1873. There are doubtless many more than this number. They have been distributed among the several denominations and some of them have become missionaries to other countries.


In a list of doctors or physicians. Rev. Mr. Chipman records the names of forty-one, who up to the time of his report-1873- were in or from Lisbon.

Reuben Bishop. the writer's great-grandfather. died in the cam- · paign of Arnold towards Cachec, which was before the Declaration of Independence. The list above of those serving in the War of the Revolution is by no means a full one of those from Lisbon's territory.


Soldiers from Lisbon who served in the war with England, 1812 10 1815:


Capt. Freeman Tracy. of Newent, and Capt. Charles Perkins, of Hanover, were, with their respective companies, in active service at Stonington. New London, and vicinity when Stonington was assaulted by a British force in IS12. In said companies are said to have been the persons below named :


Asa Witter Allen, who removed to Salem, Ohio, from Lisbon. Evander Fuller, who died September 18, 1873. Josiah Kean (Kaine ?). Zephaniah Simpson. Simon Lathrop, etc.


During this war of three years, which was mostly a warfare of naval attacks upon our coast, the military companies were fre- quently called upon to come to the defence of the coast along New London County. Lisbon several times marched her companies to the points of danger. Capt. Roswell Adams, with his company. had this experience, as well as Capt. Tracy and Capt. Perkins. Reuben Bishop. afterwards made a Captain of a Lisbon company. was there, and often related his experience to his children, of whom the writer was one. There were three companies marched from Lis- bon whose officers and men must have enrolled more than one litin- dred men in this service.
