ACORS WELLS LAWTON.

The last of the Baptist pioneers in a church which once numbered a hundred and fifty members died Feb. 16, 1881. The church was in Cornwall Hollow. The deacon who was the pioneer and last pillar was A. W. Lawton. He was a native of Rhode Island, and brought to Goshen a good portion of Roger Wil- liams' fire and the baptism of the spirit to guide it. He was born at Hopkinton City, May 1, 1797, the third son and seventh child of a family of nine, whose average age was sixty-five years,-the family of Joseph and Ann Lawton.

Young Lawton was seventeen years of age when Stonington was bombarded by the British, and seven years later his personal courage was tested in the bloodless victory by which he won a woman for a wife from the oldest house in Stonington,-the Cheese- brough, abbreviated to " Cheesebro'." The first man to settle in Stonington was William Cheesebrough. A descendant of his was Rev. Elihu Cheesebrough, whose niece, Mary C., was married to Lawton, Dec. 2, 1821. The newly-married couple retreated to the hills of Hartford the same year. The great misfor- tunes of mothers was hers, when, in giving birth to twin sons, Joseph and Zebulon C., June, 1823, her own life was the sacrifice. Mr. Lawton and Elizabeth Clark, of Hartland, were married in May, 1825, by which five sons-Ben, Wells A., Franklin, Giles M., and Nelson H .- were born, all but the third surviving.

In 1827, Mr. Lawton removed with his family to Goshen, purchasing a new farm, which has been his home ever since, and has supported him in honorable comfort and in the exercise of a hearty hospitality to the friends his good cheer and good works drew around him. His son Giles retains the farm. He was again bereaved through the loss of his wife, and again was married to a descendant of the Cheese- broughs-Mrs. Jane Bartholomew-in 1863. Al-

though not the mother of, she has been a faithful mother to, his children, and rests in their confidence until she shall be released from her seene of faithful labors. In the coneentrie cireles of his duties, Mr. Lawton's home eirele was the first and dearest. He commanded his children in love. His memorials are in them. In his eirele of relations he was admired for his excellent qualities. In his church cirele he was a " pillar," essential to all its interests, giving his voiee heartily to its " songs of lofty cheer," his money for its support, and for the support of the "Christian Secretary" from the first, 1824. He led in the or- ganization of the Baptist Church, was treasurer of the Widows' Fund of the Baptist Association of Liteh- field County until it disbanded, but was of too liberal a spirit and opinions to limit his support to his own denomination.

At his funeral a Congregational minister, Chas. N. Fitch, officiated, and the deacons of two Congrega- tional Churches in Goshen and North Cornwall were bearers, and the large attendance of representative people of both parishes showed the high regard in which he was held.

In his eirele of citizenship he was selectman of Goshen; represented his town in the Legislature in the year 1853, and served his town with credit and confidenee in all his places of trust.

He has " finished the work which God gave him to do." He had a longer time in which to do it than is allotted to most men,-eighty-three years and nine months,-and he did it with a more spontaneous, free, and loving spirit than is common to man; so his friends loved Deaeon Lawton, for the life of Christ was beautiful in him.

HARWINTON.

Geographical - Topographical -Original Proprietors-The Pioneers- Early Schools-Votes-The Revolution-Names of Soldiers, Etc.

THE town of Harwinton lies on the east border of the county, and is bounded as follows : on the north by Torrington and New Hartford, on the east by Hart- ford County, on the south by Plymouth and Thomas- ton, and on the west by Litehfield. The surface of the town is elevated and hilly, and better adapted to grazing than the raising of grain.

ORIGINAL PROPRIETORS.

This town originally consisted of two half-town- ships, one belonging to Hartford and the other to the Windsor proprietors. The several companies to which the different parcels of land made out of Wind- sor people's moiety had been allotted were ineor- porated May 11, 1732, and the Hartford company in May, 1733. The original proprietors were as follows: Samuel Allyn, John Baneraft, John Barber, Joseph

THE PIONEERS.

To Daniel Messenger is inscribed the honor of having been the first white settler within the bounds of the present town of Harwinton. He located here in 1730. " Whether we think of him," says R. M. Chipman, in the " History of Harwinton," " as now keeping more closely to his tarrying-place, which must at the first have been so lonely, though near the road between Litchfield and Farmington, or as now crossing the line between the Hartford and Windsor proprieties, he for both East Harwinton and West Harwinton respectively, and so for us all, was 'the pathfinder.' Viewed in relation with merely such effects, consequent on his coming to Harwinton, as here, while he lived he saw accomplished ; much more, viewed in relation with those results thence originating, which here since his death have been unfolded, he appears, even aside from any of his own purposes in the matter, to have excecuted a mission from God for the good of all other persons who should dwell here ; so that, without intent to utter it punning- ly, far less profanely, one might say that to each of such persons Providence, in effeet, affirmed of him (what was said of ' one greater than he') : 'This is he of whom it is written, Behold I send MY messenger

before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.' As to our ' pathfinder,' literally, ' before' him, respecting time and otherwise, was that 'way' pre- pared which has incidentally heen twice mentioned. In the latter mention of it were quoted the words of a record which, one other excepted, is the oldest that Harwinton possesses .* This road which our annals present thus early was, previously to Capt. Messen- ger's taking his residence in the township, part of the route traversed and incipiently ' made' by such per- sons as, at Farmington, Hartford, and other places, had been interested in facilitating access and acces- sions to the plantation by them set forward at Bantam (now Litchfield). Chiefly hy this did the people of Hartford and the other easterly towns gain entrance into a territory which, forming at present a large part of the largest county in Connecticut, and supplied now with agricultural products, manufactures, vil- lages, and well-instructed inhabitants, was at that period a wilderness, known as 'the Western lands.' The said road, by Capt. Messenger and other 'East Harwinton Proprietors' put into fit condition, De- cember, 1732, continued to be a main thoroughfare until long after the establishment of stage-coach ac- commodations ; so that, by means of the travelers who used it, Harwinton had at that day, and for years afterward, a more oxtensive publicity than it has now. It was over this road that-with his suite, including Maj .- Gen. the Marquis de La Fayette, Gen. Knox, and several other American officers of distinction-passed our nation's 'pathfinder,' Gen. Washington. After his party had taken here refreshments, in presenting which the choicest of our young maidens honored themselves as well as their fathers' and their town's welcome guests,t the cavalcade went onward; and when, in its progress, it moved gracefully up the western ascent from the valley of Lead-mine Brook, and thus was in full view of persons assembled at the church standing then, it presented a pageant which, sixty years afterwards, aged citizens vividly remem- bered.

"It is not probable that our pioneer resident lived for any considerable interval wholly alone; but it does not appear, with any definiteness, how soon other persons made here their homes. Dr. Trumbull, giving of our first settlers only the surnames, says, 'The five first were Messenger, Hopkins, Webster, Phelps, and

Wilson. These were on the lands before the division and sale of them in 1732.' The division which he re- fers to is the partition made between the towns of Hartford and Windsor of their moiety of the ' West- ern lands ;' and the sale which he refers to is rather, as he had previously called it, 'provisions for the sale' of said lands. In saying 'before' 1732, he seems to have meant the year next preceding that. The first name that Dr. Trumbull gives, Messenger, might, in addition to our pioneer himself, include, as found here at the date assigned, two of his sons, Nehemiah and Samuel. Our records show, of these sons, that the latter belonged here in January, 1733-34, and the former in October, 1735, certainly, in January, 1733 -34, probably. It may, from the circumstances of their father's age and position, and of their own age, both being then in their majority, be well inferred that these both were here as soon as their father was, although a Nehemiah Messenger-more than possi- bly this same person going thither after tarrying here and at Cornwall, and at Sheffield, Mass., for only a short time-was, somewhat after 1750, among the early immigrants of Egremont, Mass., the settlement of which township some one commenced about the same date that Capt. Messenger began to settle ours, 1730. The second name that Dr. Trumbull gives, Hopkins, may also include more than one person, since Ebenezer Hopkins, who, calling Capt. Messen- ger ' my father,' was either his step-son or, which is the more likely, his son-in-law, was a resident here in January, 1732-33; and Hezekiah Hopkins, who, found resident here two or three years later, took a deed of land here in April, 1732, the month indicating he took the deed with a cultivator's intent of putting the land into immediate occupancy, that he might live on it and live by working on it, rather than with a spec- ulator's thought,-' I have hought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and sce it.' The third name that Dr. Trumbull gives, Webster, is scarcely more definite in respect of the persons intended, for, though Cyprian Webster had a deed conveying to him land here in November, 1733, yet Moses Webster appears, by our documents, as residing here nearly as soon as said Cyprian Webster does. The fourth name that Dr. Trumbull gives, Phelps, similarly ambiguous in this regard. may apply nearly as well to two persons, for, so far as our records disclose, Daniel Phelps and Samuel Phelps were both resident here in 1736. Of the five names that Dr. Trumbull gives there appears, as having neither a double nor triple applicability to persons, but one Wilson, yet John Wilson, in the records that we have, comes to view not earlier than in 1737. Conceding, however, that Dr. Trumbull was in this case accurately informed,-as he surely might have been, gathering materials for history at the time in which one at least of the five, John Wil- son, was yet surviving,-the sum of the matter is this: Daniel Messenger ranked apart from the rest. Since, beyond doubt, he was established in the town-

ship in 1730, there may be taken as the primary in- habitants of Harwinton, Ebenezer Hopkins, Samuel Messenger, Daniel Phelps, Samuel Phelps, Cyprian Webster, John Wilson. These, and Nehemiah Mes- senger, possibly were on their 'claims' here, settlers, in 1731, and most probably in the previous year.

" In a memorial bearing date May 13, 1736, pre- sented to the General Court by Nathan Davis, Daniel Messenger, and George Wyllys, as a committee of ' the inhabitants of Harwinton,' asking, through this their committee, permission to levy an additional tax, in order to pay arrearages due to a gentleman who had preached to them, and asking, also, 'authority to em- body in church estate, and to be incorporated as a town,' it is stated that at that time the township 'con- tained one hundred souls, of whom twenty-one were heads (masters) of families.' No action, as respect- ing church embodiment and town incorporation, hav- ing been taken by the General Court on that memo- rial, another memorial, dated Oct. 4, 1737, signed by Anthony Hoskins, Daniel Messenger, and Zechariah Seymour, as agents for 'the inhabitants of Harwin- ton,' in which said inhabitants, through their said agents, renew their requests and gain their objects, states that 'the place, being daily increasing,' then numbered one hundred and sixty-one souls, of whom ' twenty-four were heads (masters) of families.' There are not sufficient data for designating these male heads of families with absolute certainty as to each of them, but, as nearly as the materials obtained seem to authorize a specification, the twenty-four such per- sons were Samuel Barber, Deacon Jacob Benton, Sr., Daniel Bissell, Jr., Daniel Brown, Esq., Thomas Bull, Lieut. Nathan Davis, Jr., Daniel Gillett (second), Nathaniel Hatch, Amos Hinsdale, Capt. Jacob Hins- dale, Sr., Ebenezer Hopkins, Jr. and Sr., Hezekiah Hopkins, Ensign Jonathan Hopkins, Sr., Anthony Hoskins, Jr., Noah Loomis, Sr., Israel Merriman, Capt. Daniel Messenger, Nehemiah Messenger, Sam- uel Messenger, Samuel Moody, Deacon Daniel Phelps (second), Lieut. Samuel Phelps, Jr. and Sr., Cyprian Webster, Sr., Esq., Samuel Winchell.

" In the latter memorial a statement is made that at the time when it was dated there had been four- teen children born within the territory,-a circum- stance which, as various others do, indicates that many of the families then here were youthful ones. But more noticeable is the fact, seen by comparing together what both memorials say as to the whole population here, that in the interval between the dates of these memorials, seventeen months, wherein only three families were added, the sum total of persons, instead of increasing at the same rate, or becoming, at most, one hundred and fifteen, had increased more than four times as rapidly, and so become one hundred and sixty-one. This fact, accounted for by the supposition that wives of the settlers and young children, not previously here, had at this later period come in, shows that the preparations made for their

comfort were now finished, and is thus significant of houses built, barns set up, harvests gathered, stores for the winter laid in, and progress made on every hand."
