BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
COL. THOMAS A. MEAD.
John Mead was one of two brothers who emigrated from England about the year 1642. The family was then an ancient and honorable onc, though it is not within the author's means to trace their genealogy previous to their emigration to this country.
One of their ancestors had been the friend and the physician of the talented though not very amiable Queen Elizabeth. One of two brothers emigrated to Virginia, where the family still exists. The other, John Mead, with his two sons, came to New England about the year 1642. The name is spelled Meade as well as Mead. Many claim that they emigrated from Greenwich, Kent Co., England, but we have not fallen in with any direct proof of the fact, and this town was kuown by its present name long before the settlement of the Mead family. John Mead and his two sons, John and Joseph, having tarried awhile in Massachusetts, first settled at Hempstead, L. I., where they remained until October, 1660, when the two sons came to Greenwich aud bought land of Richard Crab and others, which was deeded to John Mead, he being the elder. Either John, the father, never came to Greenwich, or if so, he took no active part in life, now having become quite an old man. His son Jo- seph left no children in this town. He may have died young, or left no issue, or may have emigrated to a different part of the country.
John Mead, the second,-died 1696,-married Miss
Alan Mead
397
GREENWICHI.
Potter, of Stamford, and left, as appears by his will, eight sons and, tradition says, three daughters, viz. : John, Joseph, Jonathan, Ebenezer, Nathaniel, David, Samuel, Abigail, Mary, and Susan or Susannah. Ebenezer, the fourth son of second John, was born in 1663, and married Sarah Knapp, of Stamford, and left Ebenezer, Caleb, Sarah, who married Jonathan Hobby, Hannah, who married John Hobby, Jabez, David, Abigail, who married Isaac Holmes, Susan- nah, who married Moses Husted, Jemima, who mar- ried Moses Knapp. The second Ebenezer was born Oct. 25, 1692, and dicd May 3, 1775. He married Hannah Brown, of Rye, N. Y., on the 12th of Decem- ber, 1717. His children were Ebenezer, Silas, Abra- ham, Jonas, Solomon, Deliverance, Amos, Edmund, Hannah, Jabez, Jared, and Abraham, second.
Amos Mead, seventh son of the second Ebenczer, was a physician by profession, and was a surgeon of the Third Connecticut Regiment in the French and Indian war, and his grandson, Col. Thomas A. Mead, has now (1880) in his possession a powder-horn, a rieh souvenir of those terrible days. He was a promi- nent man during the Revolutionary war, and repre- sented his town a great many times in the Colonial Legislature, and after the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, was a member of the State Leg- islature. He was a member of that noble body of men who adopted the Constitution of the United States. He married Ruth Bush. Their children were Rich- ard, born September, 1753, and Thomas, who died soon after he had completed his college course in 1773. Dr. Amos Mead was a member of the Congre- gational Church of Greenwich. He died February, 1807.
Richard Mead was a farmer by occupation, and during the Revolutionary war rendered valuable aid to the American army. We quote the following from the history of Greenwich : " Andrew Mead, Humphrey Denton, and Richard Mead. These men-more, per- haps, than any others-deserve the highest praise for their brave and daring aets. It was not so much their province to counsel and advise as to act. 'Old men for counsel and young men for action.' Such men as Dr. Amos Mead, John Mackay, and Abraham Mead were of great service to the inhabitants as counselors. They were past the meridian of life, and one of them, Dr. Amos Mead, had gained much experience by active service in the French war. But was any daring deed to be accomplished, where hardy, brave, and reliable men were necessary, the thrce for- mer were always selected. After all control of the town was lost to the Americans by the destructive expedition of Governor Tryon, it was not safe for a patriot to remain publicly in the limits for an hour. Yet these three hung about the place ready to assist the defenseless population against the brutalities of the Tories. Each possessed of his arms, a faithful dog, and a flect horsc, they spent their time about the village, hidden in the by- and secret-places. The win-
ter of 1780 was one of the severest on record. The Sound was frozen across, aud a great amount of snow accumulated. Yet these men scarcely knew a night, during the early part of that winter, in which they did not sleep with their horses and dogs in the show. During that winter some dozen or twenty head of cattle, the most of which belonged to Mr. Jared Mead, were taken off in haste by the Tories and driven towards New York. After much carnest solicitation on the part of the owner, the trio con- sented to make the most daring attempt of crossing the enemy's lines to retake them. There had been recently a storm of rain, which had frozen as it fell and rendered the roads extremely slippery, and made a hard, sharp crust upon the snow. The pursuers therefore went upon the Sound with their horses, and kept the ice as far as Mamaroneck, and then, taking the road, could track the cattle by the blood which had trickled from the wounds of the bayoucts which liad forced them along. At Mount Vernon they re- took the cattle, and were returning when they found they were pursued by a body of the enemy under a lieutenant. Their horses were tired by their swift ride, and they soon knew that their only safety was in separation, and in that case even one must be inevi- tably taken. Accordingly, they left the cattle and plunged separately in different directions. The enemy selected Richard Mead, pursued and took him pris- oner. This was about the middle of January, 1780. He was taken to New York and thrown into the famous Sugar-Honse, where he remained for a period of six weeks until exchanged. These three men were held in high estimation by the people. Their known patriotism and courage, which could ever be relied on, caused the other citizens, long after the Revolu- tionary war, to remember their acts with the greatest gratitude." Other faets might be recited and incidents given. Richard Mead was twice married: first to Sarah Mead, and had one daughter, Sophia, who married Peter De Mill; second to Rachel Mead, widow of Whitman Mead, and had three children, viz., Thomas A., Elizabeth R., and Sarah 1. Eliza- beth R. married George Webb, of New York, and is now dead. Sarah A. married Joseph Brush, of Green- wich, and died leaving a family of ten children. Richard Mead was a man respected by all those who knew him. He died April 19, 1824. His only son, Col. Thomas A. Mead, was born in the same honsc where he now (1880) resides in Greenwich, Fairfield Co., Conn., May 29, 1799. He has always been a far- mer, and now owns the same farm his father owned, which has been in the family since 1785, and lives in the house built by his father in 1797. He married Hannan Seaman, daughter of David Seaman, of New York, Fcb. 23, 1833. They have had eight children, seven of whom are still living, viz. : Louisa S., Mrs. Thomas Ritel ; Thomas R., who was a captain of Company G, Tenth Regiment, Connecticut Volun- tcers, was in several engagements, siekened and died
