The Macalister arms are given.
The name Hollister is derived, it is believed, from the early Scotch family name, Macalister. By successive changes and corruptions, it has, in New England, been reduced to its present mode of spelling. The name Macalister, is itself derived from Alexander, eldest son of Angus Mor, of the Isles. It is made up of Mac, i. e., son of, and Al- ester, i. e., Alexander. The present representatives of the family live in Loup and Kennox, Scotland. Successive derivatives, or modes of spelling, as Aulister, Collister, Ollister, and finally Hollis- ter, by the introduction of the English aspirate, are found.
The first of the name in this country was John Hollister, probably from Weymouth, England, who emigrated hither about the year 1642, and was admitted a freeman at the General Court in Bos- ton, May 10, 1643. He removed, not long afterward, to Wethers- field, Conn., and was sent from this town as deputy to the General Court at Hartford, Nov. 15, 1644, also in 1654 and 1656. He was frequently a juror, and was a lieutenant in the militia. He differed in sentiment from his pastor, Mr. Russell, and in consequence of the controversy which arose in relation to it, he was exeommunicated.
After the death of the leading ministers of the first generation, which settled the colony, great dissensions arose in the churches at Hartford and other places, in regard to church membership, disci- pline, and baptism. A part of the church at Wethersfield, interested themselves in the dispute at Hartford, and became much divided and contentious. What the precise nature of the controversy was, Cotton Mather says it was difficult, even at that time, to tell ; and Trumbull, in his History of Connecticut, bears testimony to the same faet. It was supposed to involve some vital point of Congregationalism, Rev.

Mr. Stone, of Hartford, taking the Presbyterian, and his ruling elder, Mr. Goodwin, the Independent view of the subject. Mr. Russell, so far as we can judge from his practice, seems to have held substan- tially the views of Mr. Stone ; for in keeping with Mr. Stone's defini- tion of Congregationalism-" A speaking aristocracy in the face of a silent democracy"-Mr. Russell proceeded to excommunicate Lieut. Hollister, in 1656, from his church, privately as would seem, or at least without the usual notice and trial, and afterward refused to give the reasons for this act, or a copy of the charges, when demanded by Mr. Hollister. Lieut. Hollister brought the matter before the Gen- eral Court, of which he was a member, and obtained an order that Mr. Russell should give the reasons which dictated the course he had pursued. No record of the reasons, nor of any action upon them, is known to exist. Mr. Hollister and nine other members of the church in Wethersfield, had preferred a petition to the General Court, in Aug., 1658, charging Mr. Russell, in some matter in which he had been called to testify, with having taken " a grevious oath, acknowl- edged by himselfe to bee ambiguous, rash and sinfull-and what more may be made evident," urging that they "are afrayd to venture [their ] soules under his ministry," asking that they "may use their liberty" in procuring another minister, "faithfull in the administra- tions of the Gospell and unoffencieue in his conversation."1 At the next session of the General Court, in March of the next year, Lieut. Hollister procured the order before referred to.2 From this and from various other facts, it seems reasonable to infer that he was excom- municated, not for any defect of moral or religious character, but in consequence of this controversy. The court did not grant liberty to get another minister, but censured Mr. Russell for carelessness, advi- sed him to speak more plainly in future, and that " both parties should walk lovingly together." After granting the order before referred to, censuring Mr. Russell for his course in the excommunication, and recommending the " issuing of their sad differences," no further refer- ence to the matter anywhere appears. As Mr. Russell removed to Hadley, Mass., in 1659, a year later, with his friends, it is probable that this ended the controversy.3 He was a leading man in his town and in the colony. He had two brothers, Joseph and Thomas, who

The descendants of the first Jolm Hollister are numerous, widely scattered, and bear a great diversity of names. Among them are Dr. Avery J. Skilton, of Troy, a descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of Jolin Hollister, Jr., who m. Dr. Steele, of Kensington, and had Elijah Steele, of Watertown, who had Chloe, that m. James Skilton, father of Dr. Avery J. Skilton. A large number of this lineage have been educated and prominent men, and filled the learned professions with honor. No less than twenty-two of this name were soldiers of the Revolution from the single town of Glastonbury.

removed thence to Stratford, Conn., at its first settlement in 1639, where he resided upon the south-west corner of a hill, called " Meet- ing House Hill." He did not reside there long, but went to New Haven, where he died in 1660. He probably had a daughter living there.
Lt. Joseph,2 (2) eldest son of William, was fifteen years of age when his father came to New England. He lived with him at Con- cord, Mass., four years, removed thence to Stratford, Conn., married in 1644, in his 25th year, Sarah, dau. of John Porter of Windsor, she being 18 years of age.
