Thus have we endeavored, in the simplest garb of truth, faithfully to trace the deeds of our departed fathers-their successes and re- verses, their joys and their sorrows, their virtues and their defects. The history of nearly two hundred years has passed before our view. We have been able, with some slight help from the imagina- tion, to behold the lincaments of each prominent actor on the stage, and have traced the perfection of the scenes. There is a pure and unalloyed pleasure in wandering amid the scenes and incidents of the long buried past. There is a sad and melancholy, though ennobling interest, in tracing the faintest recorded trace of the early fathers, who, having " wrought a good work," in their day and generation, after " life's fitful fever." sleep well, and have doubtless entered into the " joy of their Lord." To the descendents of these long departed worthies, such inquiries should be intensely interesting. No rela-

tionship by blood, or by affinity, may be traced between the writer and the dead of former generations in these happy vales. A stern and wise, though kind and judicious mother, an eastern sister state, contains his birthplace, his kin. his early friends and associations, and the ashes of the sainted dead-the loved and lost. Yet has his eye kindled, and his heart warmed with emotion and admiration, as he has traced, at the weary midnight hour, when the world around him was locked in the arms of sleep, the many valuable and interest- ing items in the history and character of the Christian fathers of the carly days in his adopted town. With them has he communed in the " silent night-watches," when there was no human eye to see, no ear to hear, nor sound to interrupt the placid flow of tender and en- nobling heart sympathies. It has nerved him anew for the battle of life, and been a balm for many a desponding hour. It is well said, that " God's hand is in history," and, we may also add, in the inci- dents and elements that serve to form it. The descendants of Wood- bury have a proud historical heritage. Well may they contemplate with feelings of satisfaction, the wealth of the past. It should also serve to give them high and ennobling views of the charities, virtues and duties of life, and of the honor and gratitude they owe to the kind Giver of all things. If the exhausting labors required in dragging the contents of musty records to light, and saving them from oblivion, shall induce the sons of Woodbury to heed the noble principles of their fathers, and lead them to become more and more influenced and actuated by these views in their lives and conduct, then the humble writer of this volume will have "received his reward."
CHAPTER XXI.
GENEALOGICAL HISTORY.
WE come now to an exceedingly interesting part of our labor, and one which should occupy several volumes instead of being compressed within the narrow limits of a single chapter. Genealogical inqui- ries have become far more frequent than formerly, within the past few years. Such investigations have been pursued with becoming interest, perseverance, and indomitable labor. From the moldy rec- ords and manuscripts of the former days, many valuable facts and incidents in biography and genealogy have been brought to light and placed in the archives of history.
This spirit of research, this inquiring after the history of one's ancestors, near or remote, is commendable. The sons of New En- gland have an ancestry of which they may well be proud. We are far from saying that pride of birth and arrogance of position are to be commended and cultivated, or that they are to be compared to an upright life and a virtuous character. In this regard, we join with Frederick of Prussia in the exclamation, " I love the lineage of heroes ; but I love merit more. Patents of nobility are but phan- toms : truc worth is within. Kings are nothing but men, and all men are equal." While. therefore, we repudiate the idea that there is any honor in searching for an illustrious ancestry as a means to elevate the ignoble, in the estimation of the world, and in relying on such ancestry as a shield to cover not only a multitude of transgres- sions, but also great mental imbecility and meanness ; yet it is nev- ertheless true that the upright son of genius, who can point to a long and virtuous line of ancestors, whose fair fame has been by himself untarnished, has whereof he may well be proud. Not that mush- room, aristocratic pride so often witnessed in those whose fathers
482
HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.
were from the lowest grade in life, which leads its possessor daintily to spurn the air breathed by those whom it terms the "common . herd ;" but that manly pride experienced by those who are actuated by pure aspirations and high resolves for the good of mankind-for the advancement of the best interests of the race. Such men have a right to search the dim and dusty records of the past, and having found an honored and virtuous line of progenitors, have a right to be recorded as the rightful descendants of an honored race. In this view, the inquiries into this subject made during the last few years with so good success, are eminently praiseworthy. All such investiga- tions should tend to rebuke false pride and to encourage unobtrusive merit. There is no more contemptible spectacle in social life, than the foolish and absurd airs put on by miserable pretenders to stand- ing and refinement, so often seen by accurate and sensible observers. If such coxcombs and butterflies could know the supreme contempt bestowed upon their pretensions by all people of common sense, it is believed that some even of their number, brazen-faced and hardened as they have become, would be shamed into propriety. Such behav- ior is to the last degree vulgar and disgusting. There is no gentility in it.
No inquiries can be more interesting to the intelligent student of human nature, than those that relate to the generations of men. The feelings that prompt them are just and natural-they give birth to some of the dearest charities of life and fortify some of the sternest virtues. The principle that prompts them lies deep within our nature. In the eloquent words of Edward Everett on a recent occasion, "The sacred tie of family, which reaching backward and forward, binds the generations of men together, and draws out the plaintive music of our being from the solemn alternation of cradle and grave-the black and white keys of life's harpsichord ; the magical power of language, which puts spirit in communion with spirit in distant periods and climes ; the grand sympathies of coun- try, which lead the Greek of the present day to talk of ' the vieto- ries we gained over the barbarians at Marathon ;' the mystic tissue of race, woven far back in the dark chambers of the past, and which after the vicissitudes and migrations of centuries, wraps up great nations in its broad mantle; those significant expressions which carry volumes of meaning in a word-Forefather, Parent, Child, Posterity, Native Land : these all teach us, not blindly to worship, but duly to honor the past, to study the lessons of experience, to scan the high connsels of man in his great associations, as those
483

counsels have been developed in constitutions, in laws, in maxims, in traditions, in great, undoubted principles of right and wrong, which have been sanctioned by the general consent of those who have gone before us ; thus tracing in human institutions some faint reflection of that divine wisdom which fashioned the leaf, that unfolded itself six weeks ago in the forest, on the pattern of the leaf which was bathed in the dews of Paradise in the morning of creation."
The design of this work contemplates the introduction of the genealogies of families bearing the early names in the ancient terri- tory only; though the genealogies of a few later names, which have been kindly furnished the author, have been inserted. Of the early names, all that the records show has been given, in all cases. But the records show little genealogical matter since the date of the Revolution. Where those now bearing the name or blood of the families treated of, have been sufficiently interested in the matter to furnish the later branches of the several names, they have been in- trodneed. The author would have been glad to have done the same with every other name; but though he has been " instant in season and out of season," in making inquiries, and has sent a myriad of letters, to individuals who should have been interested in the inves- tigation ; yet such has been the indifference or ignorance of those addressed, that many of the sketches are necessarily meager and imperfect. The great inattention and ignorance existing in relation to genealogical information has often been amusing to the writer, es- pecially when he has found intelligent and otherwise well informed persons unable to tell the names of their grandfathers. If, therefore, any one feels dissatisfied at the imperfection of any sketch, let him remember that he alone is to blame, as the author has introduced all he has gathered from every reliable source, after making use of personal inquiries, printed circulars, and " unanswered letters."
In a chapter containing so large a number of facts and dates, it is scareely possible to prevent errors from intervening, and some such will doubtless be discovered. At the same time, the most unwearied pains have been taken to have the genealogies attain as high a state of perfection in point of accuracy as it is possible for such inquiries to acquire. To this end, after the author had carefully drawn out and examined them, they were again examined by Philo M. Trow- bridge, Esq., a good antiquarian and genealogieal investigator, after which they were re-examined by the writer before committing them to press. It is therefore believed, that great reliance may be placed on their general accuracy. As all the information in the author's
484

possession concerning the families treated of has been given, there can be no ground for the suspicion of partiality among names.
ABREVIATIONS-S. for son ; dau. daughter; b. born ; bap. bap- tized; m. married ; d. died ; w. wife; ch. children ; wid. widow.
Some of the larger genealogies are deduced or displayed by a sys- tem of numbering, which may need a word of explanation.
The Arabic numbers running through the whole genealogy, are used to show the number of each individual in the series descended from the same ancestor, and to enable the reader to trace the ances- tors, or descendants, backward, or forward, with ease and facility. One number set under another, or two numbers set against the same individual, show that such individual has descendants, and the lower number indicates the place in the series, where the descendants are to be found. The Roman numerals, or capital letters, are employed to show the number of children belonging to the same family. For example, in the " Averill Family," which follows, 3 X. Angustin,4 shows that the person is No. 29 in the regular Arabic series, and that following on to the place next after No. 52, his family will be found. The X denotes Augustin to be the tenth child in that par- ticular family. The 4 at the end of the name, denotes the individual to be of the fourth generation from the first ancestor in the series, and so of all other numbers placed like an exponent at the end of the name-they show the generation. All names of persons having descendants, are necessarily repeated in their order, but are not re- numbered, the denominator showing that the family will be found in the regular series next after itself. Thus, Augustin + (29) is repeated after No. 52, the (29) showing his original place in the series.
