'He was grandfather of the wife of Rev. Geo. W. Nichols of West Avenue, (1896). Chancellor Ray married Elsie, daughter of the Knickerbocker Jaco- bus Roosevelt, and had a daughter Elsie, who married Henry Lott. It was for this daughter's inheritance in the extensive Norwalk Keeler estate that the Chan- cellor interested himself and his friend Gov. Tomp- kins of New York. His two Lott grand-daughters, Elizabeth (Mrs. G. W. Nichols) and Helen (Mrs. Richard Schell) were accustomed in earlier New York days to have their horses put under saddle, and to join an afternoon party, the members of which would gaily gallop down Broadway to the East River, and thence, after ferriage, resume their ride to the Flat- bush, Judge John A. Lott's family seat, from whence, after partaking of supper at tables silver spread, would return, at delightful summer nightfall, to town again. Elsie, Mrs. Lott, was wont to tell her children of the dwelling of a descendant of one of Norwalk's dis- tinguished mothers, which stood in Queen. now Pearl, and not far from Pine Street. It was one of a trio of structures which, because of their marking a city architecture-period, Mrs. Lott would describe as before said. The buildings were of brick, expensively fin- ished in hard wood, and one of them in black walnut, having its parlors on the second floor, reached by a stairway and balustrade that would grace any abode

to-day, and its breakfast-room leading from the first- story hall, that opened on Pearl Street. The three residences were the abodes of comfort-elegance, and the head of the one that has been more particularly mentioned, was Capt. Isaac Bell 2d., a patron of Dr. Reuben Sherwood's Norwalk School, and himself of ancient Norwalk blood. Isaac Bell ist., born Sept. 20, 1736, son of James and Sarah Bell, and great-grand- son of Lieut. Francis Bell, the Stamford settler, mar- ried, first, Jemima Holly, and had two children, Kath- arine Ist., who died young, and Hannah. Hannah was a trifle over two years old when she lost her mother. Between one-and-a-half and two years after that event, her father, on Sept. 14, 1761, married, second, Susan- nah Smith, grand-daughter of John and Elizabeth Bartlett, and great-grand-daughter of (see Haynes lineage) Mr. William Haynes of "Haynes' Ridge," Norwalk (now New Canaan ).

Mrs. Susanna Bell's grd. father (John Bartlett, the father by his second wife of Mrs. John Belden, who was mother of John, Isaac and Amos,) was a large land owner, and had three distinct Norwalk land par- cels bearing his name. Her gr .- grandfather, William Haynes, was a colonial "Mr." but one of the titled New England gentlemen whose early pedigree is mys- tery-shrowded. He came to Norwalk from the vicin- ity, evidently. of Albany, but thence from whence,

The St. John-Hall ante-nuptial covenant is recorded in the Probate Register of Fairfield County. The following is the text :

"THIS INDENTURE, made between Mark Sension and Dorothy Hall of Stratford, widow, Witnesseth, That whereas there is a purpose of marriage between Mark Sension and Dorothy, they have consented and agreed, in case of marriage, as followeth : Imprimis. That Mark Sension will lay no claim to the estate that Dorothy Hall now possesseth, whe- ther in lands or movables, but that it shall be in the power of Dorothy Hall, after marriage, to improve it, as she shall see cause, without any let from Mark Sension; but in case Dorothy Hall shall see cause to carry with her any part of the movable effects, Mark Sen- sion binds himself and his heirs to return the same at the full value thereof, to her or to her executors, when either of them shall dye.

" Dorothy Hall doth covenant with Mark Sension that she will not, at his death, lay any claim to any part of his estate that he now possesseth, as a dowry, but will, when a widow, return to her own that she hath now in possession in Stratford.

" IN WITNESS WHEREOF, both parties have affixed their hands and seals. Dated this twenty-fifth of January, sixteen hundred ninety-one or two.

A MARK ST. JOHN DESCENT MENTION.

The young Matthew Marvin, 3d. (Matthew, Jr., Matthew Sr.) brought up in the to-day

no one as vet seems able to positively determine. The forefather of the bankers Fitch of Milwaukee, Wis., who are also of llaynes descent, claims, in a record now about a half-century old, that William Haynes of Norwalk and John Haynes of Copford Hall (afterward Gov. John Ilaynes of Hartford) were connected if not related, but Grant Fitch, of Newton, N. J., seventh son of Haynes, nephew of Gov. Thos. Fitch of Norwalk, presents no authority for the as- sertion.

The father of Mrs. Isaac Bellist. was one of the sons of Ebenezer and Abigail (Bouton) Smith, and of the : line of Lieut. Samuel Smith, the 1634 settler of Wind. sor. He was some few years the senior of his wife, she having been born after 1705-6. They had a family of well known Conn. and N. Y. descendants, and their daughter, after her marriage to Isaac Bell, Ist. removed to the provinces. Mr. Bell's son Isaac (Capt. Isaac) born Feb. 16, 1768, married Mary Ellis, daugh- ter of old-time merchant Ellis of New York, and these were the occupants of the Pearl Street premises be- fore mentioned. Mrs. Isaac Belled. spent consider- able time in Europe. She occasionally came to Nor- walk to visit her son. Isaac3d. and his sister Mary E. were pupils at Rev. Dr. Reuben Sherwood's academy in this town. The sister was somewhat delicate, but her brother's physical strength and glowing health are

to this day here remembered. The young Isaac Bell3d. of Dr. Sherwood's day, was the more immediate ancestor of the present N. Y. City Bells.

Hannah Bell, born Dec. 10, 1758, daughter of Isaac Bell and Jemima Holly, married Fitch, son of Nehemiah and Elizabeth (Fitch) Rogers (see Haynes lineage) of Norwalk. These had a son, Fitch Rogers, Jr., who married Mary, daughter of Rev. Daniel Smith, long the Congregational pastor of Stamford. There were no children by this union. Fitch Rogers, Jr., had a sister Catherine, who married Rev. Reuben Sherwood, D.1)., rector of St. Paul's Church, Norwalk, from 1818 to 1830. Mrs. Sherwood was a woman of presence and character, and highly graced her po- sition. Her daughter, Miss Catherine Sherwood, now resides at Hyde Park on-the-Hudson. Henry, second son of Fitch and Hannah (Bell) Rogers, died unmar- ried. Her sister Harriet married John Winthrop, one of the two sons of whom, Henry R., has recently died in New York City. Henry Rogers Winthrop was a Norwalk school lad, and is represented to-day by his son Buchanan Winthrop, of N. Y. City. Chas. and William were unmarried sons of Fitch Rogers, Sr. Their sister, Emily Sophia, married her cousin, Henry Rogers, Jr.

vacant Prowitt meadow, somewhat southwest of the Prowitt East Norwalk residence, was not compelled to make a long journey to pay a "suitor's " regards. He had simply to turn the corner and proceed a few steps south, (as far as Van Zandt and East Avenue corners of 1896) when was reached her domicile whose hand he sought, Rhoda, daughter of Mark St. John, the home-lot of whom is under description.

Matthew3d. and Rhoda Marvin had a daughter Mary, born Oct. 7, 1689. The father died in 1691. Sarah, sister of Matthew Marvin, 3d. married, in 1680, Thomas Betts, Jr., (son of settler Thomas Betts) whose daughter. Sarah, married Samuel Keeler, while her sisters Mary and Elizabeth married, respectively, John Bartlett (second wife) and Thomas Seymour.

From Samuel and Sarah Keeler, through their son Matthew and grand-daughter Rebecca, proceed the present Benedict, Phillips and Seymour descent, of West Avenue ; and from John and Mary Bartlett, through their daughter Rebecca (Mrs. John Belden), the Talmadge and Dudley Field families of Lake Gleneida,' and the Norwalk North Ave., Mill Hill and East Avenue Treadwell and Lockwood descendants; and from Thomas and Elizabeth Seymour through Ezra Seymour of White Oak Shade, the venerable and hon- ored Seymour Comstock of New Canaan, and his sons Albert S. of New York and Stephen of Norwalk.

Bell, married Nehemiah, 2d. son of Nehemiahist. and Elizabeth Fitch Rogers. This Norwalk-born youth married a lady younger than himself, and arriving in N. Y at the age of 38, from St. John's, New Bruns- wick, established his home near the Battery. lle had several children; among them the venerable Archi- bald Gracie Rogers, until recently a well - known figure in metropolitan circles, whose brother Henry married Matilda Livingston of the upper Hudson, and whose sister Caroline married, as his second wife, Rev. John Crathorne Montgomery of Philadelphia.

The Mark and Elizabeth St. John lineage, to be treated of in its proper place, comprises a social, sci- entific, soldier and saintly solidarity. Among the oldest of the constituency was the late Juliette Betts of cherished memory, of France Street, and among its youngest living representatives is the little daugh- ter of the late lamented James H. Bailey, which young child, Florence, was born on the spot dear to and dig- nified by one, Mary Esther Belden, (Mrs. William St. John) who was a grand daughter of Mary Betts Bart- lett, herself the grand-daughter of Rhoda, daughter of Mark St. John.

'This is a sheet of Duchess water of great beauty. When Amos Belden ( son of John and Rebecca ) of Norwalk, went to Carmel, himself and wife Elizabeth (Isaacs) took up their abode in the lake's vicinity. At that time the same bore the less euphonious desig- nation of "Shaw'> Pond," but the Rev. Henry G. Livingston (see Pelletrean) proposed its present name,

and the Carmel people, in 1852, in public assembly, adopted it. Thomas Belden of Norwalk went to Car- mel before the Revolution. Amos had not reached his teens when war between England and the colonies was declared, and had only two days before reached the age of fifteen when Garth made his Sunday morn- ing march, in 1779, past his father's ( West Avenue, 1896) house. Himself and Thomas had charge of the large N. Y. Phillips estate, and Amos here brought up his family. His children were: Julia, Charles, George, Sally, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Thomas, John, Frederick and Benjamin. His oldest son, George, married Sophia L. Miles, and these had two daugh- ters, Julia and Laura. Julia married Frederick S. Talmadge and Laura married Dudley Field. Amos and Elizabeth Belden sleep within not many feet of the mound which canopies the dust of Enoch Crosby the spy. The Field interments are made in the David Dudley Field plot in Mass. Amos Belden's grandson, George Mortimer Belden, (son of Charles) was the first President of the Putnam County National Bank, of Carmel. George M. Belden's great-uncle, Henry Belden, was the first President of the Fairfield County National Bank, Norwalk.

William St. John, Sr., married Mary Esther, sis- ter of Amos Beiden. These had a son, Hooker, born Jan. 3, 1792, who married his cousin Julia, the oldest daughter of Amos Belden. Hooker and Julia St. John had one child, Frederick Augustus, who had nearly reached twenty-one, when he died unmarried.

ROBERT BEACHAM'S HOME-LOT.

Unnumbered, but directly opposite to Mark St. John's home-lot, the "Beacham lane and house" are diagram-depicted on page 39, and in the Norwalk founders catalogue there is not the name of one, perhaps, whose ancestry-story, in its truth-essentials, is with greater difficulty ascertained.

Robert Beacham is a strong patronymic, and the hint has been broached of possible Beauchamp-earldom association if not affinity.' That he was adventure-spirited seems probable. His Norwalk " coast-banke" fronting home-site awakens the suspicion of a pre- record transient appropriation of the area which, to a large extent, now forms the East Norwalk Cemetery enclosure. This, at first, may for a brief time, have been kept as a com- mon. Quite a period must have elapsed 'ere interments were there made. The Norwalk "Companie " was composed, principally, of young timber, and the death-rate for the early years must have been inconsiderable. It is a curious fact, also, that one or more of the earliest settlers should have had, as far as appears by register, no assigned home-lots until some five years, at least, after the town's settlement. Who shall say that Thomas Fitch 1st., whose only known home-site was the 1655 purchased "Edward Church lot" had not shared, with Robert Beacham, the afterward burial plain that bounded Joseph Fitch, his brother, on the west. At all events, there could hardly have been more than two or three inter- ments there before Beacham quit Norwalk in 1657-8. The office held by this fore-parent during his last twelve months residence in the new plantation was a practical exemplification of one of the cardinal articles of the founders' creed, viz. : I BELIEVE IN BEING USEFUL. He lived near the gate (see page 39) that led to The Neck, where cattle were pastured, and he was appointed "gate-keeper." His neighbor to the north, Matthew Marvin, an " assist- ant magistrate," was a wheelwright, and Nathaniel Richards, a still further north neighbor, who moved to Norwalk after a residence upon a spot (now the Harvard University site) where he had been in touch with the great ones of the New World, was a miller. Beacham in the particular of "estates accommodations" was almost a "heavy weight," but the new place could not or did not detain him. He held lands at different points in the town, and was honored by three, at least, namesake localities, one traditional "lane " and "bridge," and one documentary "Beacham's Bridge."> The year 1657-8 put an end to his gate- wardening, and saw exchanged for the modest Norwalk Cove-bank fireside, the magnificent Sound-view acreage a little west of the 1896 " Phipp's Beach Hotel " property in Fairfield.

After the decease of his first wife, by whom he had, certainly, one child, (Mrs. Joseph Lockwood, a sister-in-law of Ephraim, the Norwalk Lockwood father), he married Elizabeth. the widow of the ancestor of the Jessup's of America.

2Beacham lived a little west of the stream which ran into what is now familiarly called " Benedict's Pond," in East Norwalk. Across this stream the !

settlers threw a small bridge, which was possibly known as " Beacham's Bridge." There was another .. Beacham's Bridge" on the west side of the river, not remote from the present So. Norwalk Baptist Church.

One of the last acts of Robert Beacham's life was to unite with his second wife in the acknowledgment of the sale of the now notable East River bordering domain known as HUNT'S POINT, to Thomas Hunt, from whose family the celebrated section derived its name. As this lady-Mrs. Robert Beacham ad_is, through her husband, Norwalk-linked, the succeeding mentions are by no means foreign to the scope of this work.

Mrs. Robert Beacham ad, had by her first husband (Edward Jessup) a son, Edward =d., who married a grand-daughter (Elizabeth, dau. of John Hyde) of Humphrey Hyde of Fair- field. These had a son, Edward34, who married, Dec. 7. 1724, Sarah, dau. of Richard Blackleach of Stratford. Their son, Blackleach Jessup, born Dec. 14, 1735, appears as a Norwalk land purchaser as early, at least, as 1763. He resided in Wilton, and was thrice married. His first wife was a Ridgefield Stebbins, his second a Norwalk Kellogg, and his last wife was a sister of Mrs. John Hanford. (Green place 1896, on the Winnipauk road)

a man of note.' His sister, seven years his senior, married, on one of the completing days of the winter of 1750, Thomas Couch 2d., the oldest child of whom was born Feb. 12, 1751. This child, Thos., Jr., lived to marry, when a few weeks past twenty-one, a dau. of Jonathan Nash of Fairfield, which young Couch-Nash couple breasted wedded life at a troublous period in lower Fairfield County history. The British held Long Island, and were disturb- ers of said County's peace. It was in the midst of this tribulation, and not three months before these shores were enemy-invaded and made the "fall-in " point from which the des- tructive Danbury raiders proceeded inland, that Sarah, wife of Thomas Couch, gave birth to one (Jonathan) whose child Norwalk to-day claims for a foster son, MAJOR-GEN. DARIUS NASH COUCH, U. S. A., a foremost citizen and one of the foremost soldiers of the civil struggle of over thirty years ago. He entered upon military life at the age of twenty, and has been no stranger to active service.

His valor during the war between the North and the South reached its climax on one of the longest days of the year 1862. The silence of the shade-enwrapt Virginia hills was broken by the arrival, on a night of ending June, '62, of Mcclellan's army at a point on the James River, distant some twelve miles from Richmond, and when the next morning broke Gen. Rob't. E. Lee promptly ordered a Southern host to repel the Northern numbers.

His parents owned where now stands the Selleck School property on East Ave. Elnathan, father of John, was a son of Thomas 2d. Thomas Hanford 2d. was a son of Rev. Thomas Han- ford ist. and Mary (Ince) Hanford, the settlers. Mrs. Thomas Hanford 2d. was the daughter of Gershom Lockwood of Greenwich, who was a brother of Eph- raim Lockwood, the first of all the Norwalk Lock- wood's. Before her marriage to Thomas Hanford 2d., she had wedded the noted John Burwell, whose daugh- ter Hannah married John Betts of Norwalk.

The children of John and Mehitable Hanford- all, perhaps. born in the fine old plate-presented home -were Eunice, who married, Oct. 18, 1790, Joseph Jessup ; Elnathan, born in the year 1766 ; Uriah, who married Rhoda, daughter of David Boult and aunt of the head of the present railway and finance Boult family of Sandusky, Ohio (see Boult lineage) ; Sarah, who married Wm.

owner (John Hanford) of the old Hanford house may look back upon the family lot with pleasure. Eunice, the oldest child, was a Miss of sixteen, Elnathan had borne a few years a family name, Uriah was a lad of eleven, Sarah was a maiden of nine, Samuel had died exactly one year before, Huldah was three years old, and John a little over one, when, having taken care of his family on the night of July 10, 1779, John Ilan- ford, Sr. rose early on Sunday, the day of the town's burning, and made preparations to save, if possible, his building. Fortunately for himself and home, Tryon and Garth's men went no further west than the eastern line of Sticky Plain, and John Hanford and his trusty dog-all that were left that mournful morn- ing at the house-had nothing to do but to accompany the grateful family back to their saved abode.

This was a part of the historic "seven days," six of which fiery "epoch days" had passed and the seventh and closing day dawned, when a principal command was again assigned to the brave Couch. "Minnie balls flew like mosquitoes," is the language of one, a Doctor in Divinity, and the head of a Theological Seminary,' but now an officer in the army, who has written to Norwalk in relation to the heroism of his superior, Norwalk s loyal and royal military townsman under remark. When that day's battle raged the hottest, it was apparent that Gen. Couch was in a most exposed position, and that sharp-shooters had discovered the fact. In a moment his chaplain rode up to the commander and apprised him of his imminent danger. The soldier of whom principle, purpose and patriotism were not char- acteristics simply, but his character, quietly replied : "I can best see the field from this spot and must keep it." "Such," testifies the chaplain, "was his general deportment in every danger. We all loved and honored him, not only for his deportment on the field of battle, but for his moral walk also and exemplary life."2

2Major-General Couch was born of Redding par- ents, in Southeast New York, July 25, 1822. The fol- lowing extracts are from Todd's History of Redding, Connecticut. "Darius N. Couch, born in New York, appointed from New York, cadet at United States Military Academy from July 1, 1842 to July 1, 1846, when he was graduated and promoted in the army to brevet second lieut. 4th Artillery. Served in the war with Mexico in 1846, '47, '48, being engaged in the battle of Buena Vista, Mexico, as second lieut. in Captain Washington's Battery, Light Artillery, for which he was brevetted first lieut. for gallant and meritorious conduct. Participating in the occupation of the Seminole country in 1852-3, he planned and executed, at his own expense, a scientific expedition into Central and Northern Mexico, the results of which were very creditable to his enterprise. He married, in 1854, a daughter of Hon. S. L. Crocker, of Taunton, Mass., and great-grand-daughter of Isaiah Thomas, founder of the Antiquarian Society of Wor- cester, Mass., and author of the . History of Printing.' The next year he resigned from the army. At the breaking out of the rebellion, being settled in Taun- ton, Mass., he raised the 7th Regt. Mass. Vols., and proceeded to Washington in July, 1861. Was made brigadier-Gen. in August, and assigned to the com- mand of a brigade in the defense of that city. In

McClellan's campaign on the Peninsula. Gen. Couch commanded the Ist Div. 4th Army Corps, holding the left of the line at the siege of Yorktown. At the bat- tle of Fair Oaks his brave division held their ground for more than two hours against the combined attack of the Confederate troops. With part of his division he reinforced llooker in the hot action of Oak Grove, June 25, 1862, and was in various skirmishes during the seven days until July I, on which morning Gen. McClellan posted him on the main road leading to Richmond, where was fought the successful battle of Malvern Hill.

Army Corps had nearly 4,000 men killed and wounded. The loss of his corps at the disastrous battle of Chancellorsville, where he was second in command, was very heavy. In November, 1864, he joined Thomas, who was beseiged at Nash- ville, and was assigned by that commander to the command of an Army Corps. In the battle which followed, he commanded a Division, turned Hood's left, and captured several pieces of artillery and many prisoners.
