ASCENDANTS AND DESCENDANTS OF CAPT. DANIEL KELLOGG NASH.

Gen. I .- Edward Nash.

" II .- John and Mary Nash.

" III .- John 2d. and Abigail Nash.

" IV .- Abraham and Rhoda (Keeler) Nash.'

1Rhoda Keeler, whom Abram Nash ist, married, appears to have been the daughter of John 2nd. and Rhoda ( Høyt) Keeler. Rhoda Hoyt was the daughter of Zerubbabel Hoyt from whom Major-General W T. Sherman derived his Hoyt blood. John Keeler Ist. was son of Ralph Keeler Ist.

Mrs. Abr'm Nash's grandfather, John Keeler ist. married, June 18, 1679, Mehitable, daughter of John Rockwell of Stamford. Mehitable's mother died, it is believed, when her daughter was very young. John Keeler owned, in 1718, the property comprising the Morgan avenue residential site of 1896. His son, John Jr, born Dec. 26, 1682, and who was married Apr. 19, 1710, to Rhoda Hoyt, gave on Dec. 4. 1744, a handsome present of one hundred pounds Norwalk commonage to his son-in-law Abraham Nash. Abra- ham and Rhoda Nash lived in Ridgefield. They had a son, Jacob, born Aug. 30, 1751, who married Free- love, daughter of Elisha Keeler of Ridgefield. Mrs. Jacob Nash died in early married life and her husband removed to Ballston Spa., N. Y., where resided his cousin Eliakim Nash (son of Abraham's brother Ebenezer) who owned and lived upon the property on which the famous Springs are situated. Jacob Nash's second married life was short. He returned from

Ballston to Ridgefield, and, fired with the spirit of '76, asked to help protect his father's old town (Norwalk) when Tryon invaded it. The stranger's petition was granted and he bravely assisted the Norwalk defend- ers. During the fray he received a mortal wound. Capt. Betts ordered him to be at once cared for, but the hero replied " It is over with me, help somebody else," and died. He is buried in his parents' adopted town, Ridgefield. His son Jacob was the father of Capt. Daniel K. Nash. Eliakim Nash referred to in this paragraph, (nephew of Abraham and Rhoda Nash). married Anna Whitlock. These had a daughter Alice who, on Dec. 15, 1791, married Samuel T. Barnum of New Fairfield and had twins, David and Betsey, born Apr. 27, 1794. On Sept. 22, 1814, Betsey Barnum married Amzi, son of Rev. Medad Rogers of New Fairfield, and so peaceful was the married life of Amzi and Betsey that a harsh word never, it is claimed, escaped the lips of either. These were the parents of the present Theodore D. Rogers and his sisters Emily and Harriet A. of Strawberry Hill.

Abraham and Rhoda Nash were the great-grand- parents of the late Harry W. Nash, born Oct. 3, 1817, who resided on Chestnut Hill and whose son, W. E. Nash, is a citizen of Westport to-day.

Capt. Daniel K. Nash was born in Ridgefield, March 15, 1795. He was a master mariner and one of the sturdy men of the past generation. His mother, Anna, daughter of James and Abigail Rockwell of Ridgefield, was of mental and moral strength, and her sea-faring son inherited her excellent qualities. This son married in Norwalk, Jan. 4, 1820, Sally, daughter of Hezekiah and Lydia (Lockwood) Raymond and had :

Capt. Daniel K. Nash met accidental death in South Norwalk, on Oct. 18, 1864. He had for nine years survived his wife, who died Sept. 28, 1855. At home and abroad and in public and private life he was a brave,+ true man and one of Fairfield County's staunchest sons. His wife was born Sept. 17, 1794. Her grand-father, Simeon Raymond, lived immediately north of the present South Norwalk Congregational church, and her father Hezekiah on the hill westward. Her older sister, Lydia, married Samuel B. Warren, familiarly called "Squire Warren," (son of Joseph"d) who was a well-known man in the community. His residence was the summit of Flax Hill, the present homestead site of

¿The children of W. A. Raymond were: William T. and Willametta, died young; Alexander Bunker; Lillie Marion and Mary A., who married Allen Grant of Michigan, and has one child, Herbert.

3Samuel Henry Orton came to South Norwalk as principal of its old established academy. He was a man of fine culture and found agreeable environments in the family of Capt. Daniel K. Nash. An acquaint- ance was here formed that ripened into intimacy and eventual affection, the happy sequel of which was the union of two kindred spirits by the marriage, on Aug. 4, 1853, of himself and Mary Hallock Nash, the daughter of the Norwalk home of which he was a temporary member. Dr. Orton's nature-benevol- ence found an ample field for its exercise at the

Government Hospital at Fort Schuyler on the Sound. Here he was a power. Warm acknowledgment was made by the ladies of the Fort Schuyler association, of the " untiring skill, devotion and sympathy, extend- ed at all times and under all circumstances" by him. After this professional connection he established a delightful home in South Norwalk where he died April 26, 1892. His wife survived him about four years, and was interred in Riverside Cemetery, Nor- walk, in 1896, beside him.

+In olden times, before "licenses " were issued, it was the custom to make declaration of matrimony- intention, during public worship, on the Sunday or so preceding the solemnization of the rite. Through delicacy parties interested sometimes remained away from service at such particular times, while others felt it proper not alone to be present but to rise and stand when announcement was made. When, on the Sunday that members were set off from the First Congregational church to the second society in " Old Well." the family of Capt. D. K. Nash was called, the

seaman with his wife and two daughters rose, digni- fiedly, in their pew in the " Meeting House on the Green," and by this expressive act regardfully said adieu to the old, and manfully confessed allegiance to the new relation.

Capt. Daniel K. Nash commanded for many years the favorite schooner " Minerva." A Catskill, N. Y correspondent of the " Hudson Daily Star," thus describes a trip, made over fifty years since, on this vessel.

CATSKILL, N. Y., Aug. 21, 1872.

EDITOR DAILY STAR :

"I noticed the return of the party of Hudsonians who went east a few weeks ago, in the Schooner Minerva, on a pleasure excursion. This called up in the mind of the writer, incidents which occurred in connection with the vessel, more than thirty years ago. If I mistake not, this craft has had an existence of nearly 36 years. She was built and rigged as a sloop prior to the year 1838 by Capt. D. K. Nash of Norwalk, Conn., who was owner and commander. He named this vessel after his daughter Minerva. This sloop was large and strongly built, and used exclusively for the coasting trade. The voyages ex- tended from Amboy. N. J. and Long Island, with Potter's Clay to Albany, and in return lumber to eastern ports. Many times these trips would extend around Cape Cod to Boston, when the cargo would be exchanged for various commodities-viz. : ashes, marble, etc., often loading with huge blocks of hewn granite cut ready to use in the rebuilding of the Merchant's Exchange in New York City ; these voyages usually occupied from three to four weeks, and were often attended with considerable danger. It was on one of these return trips, in the summer of ISto, that the writer was a passenger from Boston to New York. We left Boston with a large cargo of hewn blocks of quincey granite, weighing several tons each, and these on deck. When we left Boston Bay, the wind was blowing strong from the east, and as a consequence a heavy sea lay along our quarter all down the coast till night closed in upon us near the inlet to Chatham harbor. Here the captain decided to anchor and ride out the gale through the night. Accordingly, the vessel was "hove to" and the anchor let go in about six fathoms of water. Here we lay all night gradually dragging our anchors as we drifted towards the distant shore, from which the roar of the breaking surf could be distinctly heard. There was no sleep on that craft that night; all realized the perilous position in which we were placed, with a lading that, had we sprung a leak, would have carried us down

like so much lead. Lying off, with the broad Atlantic on the one side and uncertain, treacherous shoals on the other-in the teeth of a fierce easterly gale-a high running sea would occasionally break over us from stem to stern. Our position was anything but agreeable. Keen eyes were peering through the darkness, watching as best they could, the sturdy, straining chain cables that were holding us so securely. All that dismal night we watched and waited for the morning, till at last, far to the seaward, over the broad ocean burst a gleam of light, which rose higher and higher, till the full morning burst upon us, clear and beautiful. The wind had abated, but the sea was breaking wildly about us, and as day-light revealed our position, we found ourselves much nearer the shoals than we supposed, over which the sea was now breaking at a fearful height.

"All hands on deck," was the order from our commander, and right gladly did all hands work at the windlass till those trusty anchors, with their now bright flukes, were securely "catted " and we were fully underway. Not the least anxious person on board that dismal night, was our worthy captain, for two of his daughters, Minerva and an older sister were our fellow-passengers. The last trip of the "Minerva " as a sloop, was in the early part of the winter of the same year, 1840. She left Boston for Norwalk ; encountered a snow storn when a few hours out ; put into Provincetown harbor, back side of Cape Cod, where she rode out the gale with the loss of her mast. She was rigged as a schooner at Provincetown during that winter, and in the spring of 1841, resumed her regular trips.

During the summer of this year, the writer made a trip around the Cape to Boston on the schooner and found her sailing qualities much improved. She was a staunch old craft in those days, and is probably good for many years service yet to come."

'The following Custis facts contributed by the family of Major-Gen. Robert E. Lee of Virginia, are Norwalk-retained.

John Parke Custis, the son of a wealthy planter and heir to fifteen hundred acres, and between two and three hundred slaves, was an amiable youth. His step-father and guardian, Gen. Washington, greatly loved him and his sister Martha, and brought the boy up in the thorough habits of a Colonial Virginia gentleman. When he was eight years old, Washington ordered from his London agents the lad's supplies, to wit, "a hat; four pairs of strong shoes; silver shoe and kneebuckles; small bible and prayer book bound in Turkey." He was placed under

riage, and accompanied by his new bride and his mother, Mrs. Geo. Washington, on the way to meet the commander at Boston. Here the squire, as justice of the peace, pronounced his candidates for matrimony man and wife, while little eyes and ears in the corner intently looked and listened. In that same Flax Hill home was brought up an " old well " boy whose selfless future is an example to all on-coming Norwalk youth. The child Hezekiah (the squire's son), brother of Mrs. Nash, grew to become Hezekiah R. Warren, M. D., of Medina, N. Y., whose heroism during the cholera visitation of 1832, adds a rich lustre to his name. Dr. Warren had already lost a wife and daughter by the plague when a citizen's committee waited upon him and urged him to rest from his incessant ministrations to the stricken. He nobly declined only to himself fall, a few days afterward, a victim to the scourge. He was a descendant of Edmond Warren, the Norwalk Warren settler and the great-grand-son of Joseph Warren of Norwalk, whose New England and Ohio represent- atives to-day insist upon their progenitor's relationship to Major-General Joseph Warren, of Bunker Hill.'

Francis H., son of Capt. Daniel K. and Sally Nash, was born beneath the towering elms under the predecessors of which Rev. John Bishop, the first minister of Stamford passed, as bible in hand he, nearly two hundred years before, trudged from Boston to and through this town. This son, Francis, was a valuable citizen of South Norwalk. Educated at the old academy in that place, his career conferred honor upon an institution that had long been a credit to that section of the town. Of coveted reputation he died suddenly on Feb. 12, 1887, leaving the following children :

Lewis Hallock, b. Apr. 16, 1852; mar. Anna M. Archer.

Emily Cornelia, b. Aug. 7, 1854 ; d. Mar. 27, 1855.

Clarence Charles, b. Aug. 15. 1863. Willimetta Orton, b. Sept., 1867.

Theodorus Burr Nash, son of Capt. Daniel K., now resides in Bayview avenue, South Norwalk. He has no children.

Clarence, the youngest child of Capt. Daniel K. Nash, has two children, one of

the educational care of Rev. Jonathan Bouchier of Annapolis, and went afterward to Kings (Columbia) College, N. Y When only nineteen years old he married, in 1774, Eleanor Calvert. Washington was present at the wedding, but Mrs. Washington was prevented from attending. A> the war of the Revo- lution was about opening Washington was called to Boston, where, with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. John Parke Custis, he spent some time, and where the young Custis became bearer of dispatches. During

the next six years the Father of his Country was fight- ing for liberty and his family was at Mount Vernon. Here four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Custis, from one of whom sprang the wife of Gen. Lee, com- mander of the Confederate army of the "sixties." In Oct. 1781, Washington was at Yorktown where his step-son, acted as aid-de-camp. On a cold morning of this month, tidings reached Mount Vernon of victory.

Of the daughters of Capt. Daniel K. Nash, Mrs. William C. Sammis to-day sur- vives a husband who was for several years a faithful Norwalk selectman, and Minerva Elizabeth, of fondly remembered girlhood, wedded her cousin, William Asa Raymond, whose establishment was one of the most reputable houses that graced the business avenues of the city of Detroit; while Mary H., of grateful memory, was, as has been noted, the wife of Dr. Samuel H. Orton of Caldwell, New Jersey.

DESCENDANTS OF CAPT. BURR NASH.

Capt. Burr, born March 1, 1807, a master mariner and younger brother of Capt. Daniel K. Nash, married, first, June 17. 1831, Abbie Jane, born March 11, 1812, daughter of Ezekiel and Sarah (Whitlock) Morgan of Wilton, and had :

Melissa Jane, married Dec. 8, 1853, Capt. Douglas Fowler of Guilford.'

Herman Bangs, died in infancy.

Sarah Augusta, married Andrew Thompson of New York.

Minerva Helen.

Serviah, married Rev. Henry E. Wing.

Wilbur, killed at Battle of Fredericksburgh, Va.

Charles Morgan, died Jan. 1, 1868, aged nineteen.

Capt. Burr Nash married, second, Feb. 17, 1858, Mary Weed. There was but one child by this union, viz., Albert B., M. D., who married Ella Elmer of Newark, N. J.

The children of Capt. Douglas Fowler were Frederick and Melissa, both of whom died young.

The child of Andrew Thompson is Florence Helen, who married, June 14, 1895, Edwards Wilkinson.

The children of Rev. Henry E. Wing are Henrietta and Charles Louis.

Capt. Arnot Nash, brother of Capts. Burr and Daniel K., married Deborah, daughter of Nathan S. Comstock of New Canaan, and had one daughter who married James Nall of Detroit. She deceased, and her husband married, for his second wife, Isabella, daughter of Algernon E. Beard of South Norwalk.

IIt was the eve of " Gettysburgh." On the after- noon of July 1, 1863. Union and Confederate were contesting the possession of "Seminary Ridge" at Gettysburgh. Nightfall was approaching, and the army of the south had been successful, at the start, in routing its opponents. The Conn. 17th was in the en- gagement, led by Lieut .- Col. Douglas Fowler, who, in the temporary absence of Col. Wm. H. Noble, was in command. In the midst of this initial struggle the

soldier-born Fowler received a mortal wound, and was lifted from his charger and rested against an adjoin- ing wall. All efforts to save the hero were unavaling, and, his warfare over, he, 'mid the heat of conflict, slept the sleep that knows no waking here. His horse and military accoutrements were cared for by his pat- riot-comrade, Hon. A. II. Byington (1896) of Nor- walk, who later conveyed to the widow her husband's battle-field effects.

HOME-LOT VI

JOHN RUSCOE, Rusco or RESCUE, the Huguenot, of Lot No. 6, was the son of W'm. Rusco' of Hartford, and afterward, evidently, of Norwalk. The Rusco's may have chosen Norwalk for a residence through the intervention of the Marvins, with whom they were fellow passengers from the Old World and, later, fellow Hartford settlers. They came from Essex County, Britain, to Cambridge, and from thence to Hartford and Norwalk. John'st. son of William, was married in Hartford on Jan. 2, 1650, to Rebecca Beebe .? These two came with the pioneers to Norwalk and were allotted for a home the four acres, covered in part, to-day, by the East Norwalk Consolidated station for east bound trains. The lot sloped pleasantly south, and Mr. and Mrs. Rusco had, for north-adjoining neighbors, Rev. Thos. Hanford and Thos. Benedict, Sr. From this green meadow-lot went forth their sons John2d. and Thomas, and daughters Mary, (unmarried, ) and Rebecca (Mrs. James Brown3)

'In the roll of "Ludlow Agreement" settlers, see page 78, is found the name of " Nathaniel Rusco," who appears to have no after Norwalk connection. Said Nathaniel is the same, probably, who married, Nov. II, 1645, Joanna Corlet. (See Hartford Record.) William, father of John Rusco of Norwalk, was born abroad in 1594. His first wife is unknown, but it would seem that his second wife, whom he married in 1636, was a widow Hume.

2Norwalk may point with pardonable pleasure to one of its fathers of this name. James Beebe-of the New London Beebe's probably-arrived in Norwalk somewhat subsequently to the original lot lay-out and was awarded the two acres now covered by the lower portion of C. F. Osborn's homestead, and the adjoin- ing Thomas and Wood sites. Ilis wife, whom he married Dec. 19, 1675, was Sarah, daughter of Thomas Benedict, Sr., who himself came a little later than the first pioneers, to Norwalk. James and Sarah Beebe here resided, having for neighbors, on the opposite side of the street ( Selleck school property to-day ) Judah Gregory and John Hoyt. There were born to James Beebe, Sr., two sons, James and, and Samuel. These were infants at the time of the family's removal to Danbury," in which place the boys' father, James Beebe, was chosen first justice of the peace. James ist, born in 1641, and coming in the early life to Norwalk, spent, afterward, forty-three useful year's in Danbury, where at length he died, Apr. 22, 1728, leaving his sons James 2 id, and Samuel to found families of influence. James 2nd, born, 1682, who, like his father, was a justice of the peace, was the parent in 1717, of the distinguished North Strat- ford (Trumbull) Conn. 1747 pastor, and Ticonderoga Chaplain, and Revolutionary war patriot, and of his brother Samuel.

*Danbury was settled by eight Norwalk men, and the Danbury fever in 1685, like the California fever in 1849. would seems to have been contagious. These three closest Norwalk

3James Brown is an early Norwalk name which at once arrests attention. He came to the town some years after the arrival of the settlers, and according to Bolton, ( see History of Westchester County, page 412) probably belonged to " a branch of the Brown's of Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, a house of no little repute." He is registered as owning in 1687, in Norwalk, $50 commonage, and himself and wife Rebecca, brought up their family in the meadow now occupied as the East Avenue home of the daughters of the late Eli B. Bennett. There is record of the birth, March 1, 1690, of their son Isaac, and of the marriage, Dec. 20, 1714, (to Joanna Whitehead) of their son, James2d. who afterward figured so conspicuously in the history of The Oblong, and was, it is believed, the ancestor of many of the Norwalk and Oblong families of that name. To James and Joanna was born, in Norwalk, James3d. who first saw the light within, it is supposed, the very frame around which was built the Eversely and now the re-constructed Eli B. Bennett home, and was one of the marked men of his gener- ation. His father, James2d. was one of the purchasers, in 1708, of Ridgefield, and had set off to him, in 1729, one hundred Salem acres. He made his will on Jan. 31st, 1769, and died within two months. He left a negro man, "Tower Hill," to his wife and reserved for her a portion of his " Mansion House in Norwalk." He was a partner of William Smith, Chief Justice of the Province of New York, the father of Joshua Hett Smith, at whose house, below West Point, the Andre and Arnold treason was planned. These two lawyers were proprietors of some eleven thousand Salem acres. The Brown portion was distributed by will, to a goodly share of which acreage James Brown3d. fell heir. James3d. died in Salem, on Sunday, Feb. 19, 1786. He is not, it is thought, buried in Norwalk.

as also their daughters Sarah (Mrs. Thomas Rockwell') and Ruth (Mrs. James Abbott) and Mehitable (Mrs. Lieut. Wm. Lees). John Rusco2d. died young, and evidently before marriage, as the disposal of his estate (see Fairfield probate records) so indicates. This left his brother, Thomas, to perpetuate the Rusco sire name. Thomas seems to have been interested in the " West Side " lands, and " Rusco Creek," in the rear of the present South Norwalk corset establishment, was probably named for him. Himself and wife, Abigail, had a family of nine children, viz. : Thomas 2d., John, James, Theophilus, Josiah, Samuel, Mary, Abigail (Mrs. Wendall) and Rebecca (Mrs. Samuel Smith). Thomas'st. died in the summer of 1739. His son, Thomas2d., the date and order of whose birth are not ascertained, married Elizabeth, daughter of Ebenezer, and a grand-daughter of Matthew ". and Sarah (Treat ) Campfield, and had a son, Thomas 34, who seems to have been the father of
