All the offices and out-buildings of this ancient mansion are suitable to its appearance and the whole form a most venerable group. In the great kitchen the spit is turned by a stream of water which is under the brow of the hill close to the mansion. From the house and grounds the vale of Eversham is seen to peculiar advantage, and the view extends from Strensham around to Upton, including the Abbey and town of Pershore, with all the animation of the commercial enterprises on the river Avon, trees, verdant meadows and cheerful villas, interspersed with the white sails of the river craft and the spires of the sequestered villages."

The widowed mother (born 1588) of Rev. Thomas Hanford came, in 1635, to America with two daughters, Margaret and Elizabeth, and in advance, it seems, of her son Thomas, who was left in England in order that he might continue his studies and be brought up a scholar. The widow Hanford here married, second, "Friday, Dec. 15. 1637," Richard Scillis, of Scituate. The American, if not English, tutor of her son Thomas, was of the Westminster School, which, at the era of the gunpowder plot, adjoined the Parliament House. Margaret, the older Hanford sister, married, before her brother here arrived, Isaac, son of the Rev. John Robinson to whose memory an imposing church has just been built in Gainesborough, England. Elizabeth married Edward Foster, one of the settlers of Scituate, Mass. Thomas reached America in 1642 and renewed and finished his studies on

afterward Maria Edgar (Mrs. Dr. MeKnight) met Madam Bonaparte at Saratoga, who mentioned to her of the handsome parties she had, as a maiden, attended at the Edgar New York home. One fact, pertaining to the beautiful madam, sensibly impressed Mrs. Mc- Knight, viz., that she had not in all these years changed her style of dress, but that it was almost fashion-identical with that of a generation gone. Miss Mary Hoyt's young guest (Miss Philips) was. while at the Sketchleys, a frequent visitor at Martin S. Wil- kin-, in Morrisania, where she often met Gouveneur Morris, who, had he not married, would have made Mr. Wilkins one of his heirs. The school girls of that primitive day had a good deal to chat about and Nor- walk preserved correspondence, although pertaining to their elders, is entertaining. Miss Hoyt's friend, whose great aunt, Mary Philips, declined the hand in matrimony of George Washington and accepted that of Roger Morris ( Washington's Companion-in-Arms) made a drawing while at the Sketchleys, which this

town holds. Her grandmother married, as his second wife, Rev. Dr. John Ogilvie of Trinity Church, New York, and father of Rev. Geo. Ogilvie, rector in 1790 of St. Paul's church, Norwalk. Mrs. Dr. John Ogil- vie's son, Nathaniel Philips, fell at the Battle of Germantown, Oct. 4, 1771, at the age of twenty-one. lie left no will, but being of age, his portion of the magnificent Hudson River estate went to his oldest brother, Adolph, who died, unmarried, June 8, 1785. From Adolph's estate Mrs. Ogilvie received a patri- mony, and the young Elizabeth Amayr the use of £500 until she should arrive at age, when the princi- pal was to be paid her. Mrs. Ogilvie died Feb. 11, 1807. As the Philipses were attached to the loyal cause their immense estate was confiscated and finally sold off in small lots, of which parcels some of the Norwalk Beldens were, to an extent, purchasers. The grandfather of Miss Mary Hoyt's school companion, Frederick Philips, sailed for England, where his descendants now live. His monument is erected in

this side of the water, with the eminent pastor of Scituate, afterward Rev. Charles Chauncey, the second president of Harvard College. He was a no dull pupil, but, splendidly equipped, quickly followed the settlers to Norwalk, here commencing (before full ordina- tion, if Dr. William Allen be reliable) his labors in 1652. The discriminating Edwin Hall, D. D., a well versed theologian and a later distinguished pastor of the same Hanford estab- lished Norwalk church, after deliberation, made use (in 1848, and upon the marble inscribed tablet that surmounts the inner vestibule door of the present Norwalk First Congregational Church) of the term "gathered," as one best calculated to rightly express the initial work in this old town, of its first Christian minister, who was not a man of straw nor his people of like slender constitution. When, attired, if "Mather's Magnalia" is correctly quoted, in the preacher's gown, he rose to open (in his quaint 30x18 feet, and for safety's sake, one win- dowed sanctuary)' divine worship, he faced, among others, such solid men as Matthew Mar- vin, Sr., late of Hartford, who, because of proper qualifications had been appointed a colonial "assistant Magistrate"; and Thomas Fitch, Sr., a monied and a brainy pioneer ; and Matthew Campfield, Sr., who had openly taken issue with the entire Connecticut settle- ment; and Nathaniel Richards, whose near neighbors before his coming to Norwalk had been settlers of Gov. Winthrop's calibre; and Ephraim Lockwood, son of Robert, whose wife is believed to have been close kin to the Bulkleys of England (fore-parents of ex-Gov. Bulkley of Connecticut); and Richard Olmstead, the new plantation's chief engineer; and Samuel Hayes who was selected to lay out Danbury ; and the energetic and efficient Rich- ard Raymond and his son John ; which men represented strength, sense and substance, as

Chester Cathedral. Thomas Belden, of Norwalk, was the land agent of the family in Revolutionary times.

The Isaac Hoyt house stood until about 1842, when the late A. E. Beard, having procured the property, added the same to his acreage. Mr. Beard's first purchase-intention was to control, for manufac- turing purposes, the water that flowed from the rear height of the Hoyt site, but deciding, afterward, to thereon erect his own home, he bought the adjoining Hoyt house (then unoccupied by the family) and had it taken down. Among the last ones to tenant the old ancestor-domicile was the venerable Mrs. Hotch- kiss whose previous home had been the elder James Seymour house at the lower part of the present Mat- thews West Avenue grounds. Family silver was found secreted between the walls of the Hoyt house when it was taken down. The orchard trees, which the Beards still allow to remain, remind of the Ed- ward St. John testimony as recorded in the last text- paragraph of page 61.

Isaac Hoyt's grandmother was a Hannah Goold, who was born the same year that the death of a llannah Goold is recorded. This introduced the Goold name to this Hoyt family. The well-known Goold Hoyt ist. of Norwalk, was a brother of Isaac

Hoyt, as was also Jesse, the father of the influential and estimable James Moody Hoyt, who built the commodious edifice that crowns the summit directly east of the southern entrance to St. Paul's Church. These three brothers, Isaac, Goold and Jesse were the uncles of Munson Hoyt, whose fine Bridgeport home is now supplanted by Park City business houses, and some of the adornings of which home are kept intact, in the old town of Fairfield. Hannah, sister of Mrs. Charles R. Sherman, married Joseph Keeler, a useful citizen of Norwalk, who lived where now stands, in Water Street, the Anson Quintard house. Joseph Keeler's home, in those days, fronted the water. He belonged to the Norwalk Keelers. One of his daughters, Eliza, married a southern Wynette; another, Susan, married a Truman, and another still, Sarah Hannah, married Joseph Ketchum. Joseph Keeler did business near his own residence.

"This first meeting house (a trifle below 1896 H. M. Prowitt house) faced the King's Highway, but its Lord's day services were undisturbed by the colonial courier's bugle blast or the hoof pattering of John Perry's mail steed; a condition of Sunday calm which perceptibly marked Norwalk life down, almost, to the times of Jackson Kemper and Henry Benedict. While these more modern Episcopal and Congrega-

did the housewives of that day culture and character. These last were custom-prevented from occupying places next to their husbands in church, but they formed a "goodly company" on the "other side" of the house, where sat, first, Mrs. Thomas Hanford, clever and conspicuously connected ; and Mrs. Thomas Fitch, sister-in-law of Abraham Pierson, the first rector of Yale College; and Mrs. Matthew Campfield, whose brother was Gov. Robert Treat ; and Mrs. Christopher Comstock, whose father owned acres "in what is now the best part of the Elm City"; and Mrs. John Platt, who was a Milford Clark; and Mrs. Ephraim Lockwood, a daughter of the influential Matthias St. John, all these constituting an ancient but an apt and appreciative constituency. The same year that Mr. Hanford came to Norwalk he married, first, Hannah, third daughter of Thomas and Jane Newberry of Windsor. Thos. Newberry, died in 1635-6, leaving several children, among them the future first Mrs. Hanford. The widow Newberry married, second, Rev. John Warham, earliest minister of Windsor. She died while upon a visit to her Norwalk daughter, (April 23, 1655.) Her daughter Hester, baptized Dec. 8, 1644, (half sister to Mrs. Hanford) married Rev. Soloman Stoddard and was consequently the grandmother of President Jonathan Edwards. The first Mrs. Hanford, leaving, as far as is known, no children, soon followed her mother to the tomb, and her reverend husband married, second, Oct. 22, 1661, Mary, daughter of Hon. Richard Miles of New Haven, and widow of Jonathan Ince2d. of that same city. The second Mrs. Hanford, as was the case with her husband's first wife, was from one of the prominent families of the new land. Judge Richard and Catherine Miles were English and afterward Milford and New Haven people of position and property. The mother of Mrs. Hanford 2d., before she married Judge Miles, was a rich British widow with several children, and Mrs. Hanford's 2d. half brothers and sisters fell heirs to the estate across the water. She (Mary Miles) married, first. Dec. 12. 1654, Jonathan 2d., son of Jona- than Ince"t., one of the original proprietors of Hartford. Jonathan Ince 2d., was a graduate,1

tional pastors were giving out their closing Sunday hymn, the first perchance announcing the familiar lines,

Almighty Father bless the word, Which through thy grace we now have heard:

and the second the fervent verse beginning,

Thine earthly Sabbaths Lord we love, But there's a nobler rest above:

there was quite likely to be heard, rolling down Jarvis Hill and around the Bissell corner, the old Boston Post coach. Still this attracted only a moment's attention, and so the Abbots rode undistractedly home to Smith's Ridge and Phæbe Comstock to Sil- vermine, to peacefully end, when the sun had disap- peared across the New York state line, a day of pure soul refreshment. Thomas Hanford's congregation, however, was not as distantly scattered as were the assemblies of his successors, and after he had pro- nounced his afternoon benediction the people were soon at their homes and saw Sunday, which they be- gan on Saturday evening to keep, calmly drop its

evening dusk over the waters of the near-by keel- unploughed river and bay.

IJonathan Incezd., accompanied by two college mates, Nathaniel Pelham and John Davis, had, says Sibley, taken passage, in Nov. 1657, "in the best of two ships," then bound for England. This ship, James Garrett, master, was never heard from after- ward. The month before Ince sailed the Indian apostle, John Eliot, who desired, upon his return, to secure (for work among the red men) the services of Mr. Ince, wrote thus to the treasurer of the Mission- ary Corporation. He. Ince, "is a goodly young man, a scholar who hath a singular faculty to learn and pronounce the Indian tongue." Ile was also a remarkable mathematician. The Massachusetts court appointed, June 1, 1652, a commission to ascertain the northern line of their colony. The commission desired Ince to be added to the party. This was done and when the head of the Merrimac was reached him- self and John Sherman of Watertown determined the latitude of the spot.

in 1650, of Harvard College, and with his wife, Mary Miles, intended to establish a home in New Haven. Death, however, cut short his career and he perished at sea, leaving a widow and one son, Jonathan Ince, 3d. born June 27, 1656. This widow and her son afterward became, as has been observed, the wife and step-son of Rev. Thomas Hanford, of Norwalk. The recorded Hanford children were all born to this second wife, who lived until about 1722. She is possibly buried, as also her renowned husband and quite possibly his first wife and her mother, beneath the entirely obliterated flat stone parallelogram in the present East Norwalk cemetery.' Her European mother's headstone is to-day distinctly legible. It stands in Wallingford, where she died in 1683, at the great age of 95 years.

HANFORD, FITCH AND PLATT ASCENDANTS OF SAMUEL DASKAM, SR., AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

Deborah, born Sept. 27, 1746, daughter of Hezekiah and Deborah Hoyt Hanford, married Jonathan't. son of Hon. Samuel? and Susannah Fitch. Hezekiah Hanford was a son of Samuel and grandson of Rev. Thos. Hanford. His wife was Deborah, daughter of Caleb3 and Mehitable Hoyt, and beside his daughter Deborah, he had, also, Grace, born Oct. 5, 1765, who married Capt. Hezekiah Betts, who was the father of the late Miss Juli- ette Betts and her brothers and sisters of France Street.4 JonathanIst. and Deborah Fitch had a brief wedded life. The father, born 1744, a Yale man, died at harvest time, July 7, 1773, in a meadow near home at the age of twenty-nine. He left one son, Josiah Hanford Fitch, born April 3, 1772. As Jonathan"". was the brother of Elizabeth (Mrs. Nehemiah Rogers), his nephews, the Stamford Rogers, desired to care for this son, the young Josiah Hanford Fitch, but the lad's mother and step-father, Waters, declined. The youth lived to marry, Jan. 21, 1791, Ann Platt, daughter of Jedediah and Mary Platt5 Hanford. To -

"It is too late to restore this stone's incription, but as the monument is built close to the late Hanford graves, and is central, and not, otherwise satisfactor- ily accounted for, it is highly probable that it marks the spot where repose the dust of Norwalk's first ordained servant of God and those nearest and dearest to him in the flesh.

2 Brother of Gov. Thomas Fitch, and son of Thos. Fitch,3d. who was a son of Thos., 2d. who was the son of Thos. Ist.

3Son of Zerubbabel, and grandson of Walter Hoyt, the settler. Mrs. Caleb Hoyt was a widow Blatchley, a daughter of John, son of Ralph Keeler, Sr.

4The family of Capt. Hezekiah Betts was one of Norwalk's worthiest households, and the home abode of primitive peace and piety. Its paternal head was also an intense patriot. Himself and cousin Stephen (Capt. Stephen, militia Captain at the burning of Norwalk) were soldiers from their youth. Both were strong characters. Hezekiah was a Puritan and Stephen a Churchman. One loyally observed Thanks- giving Day, the other mingled tansy with his food on

Good Friday. The two were noble men and left a noble record. Of Hezekiah it is mentioned that tears would fill the old veteran's eyes when the night of July 3d set in and the children had, seemingly, so far forgotten their father's struggles, as to neglect to ring the church bells and kindle independence " bon- fires." The members of Captain Hezekiah's family have been useful in their day and generation. Alfred and Zenophon were clergymen in the west; Henry was a genius; Mehitable married a Scott, and has a daughter living; Eulalia (Mrs. Horace Gibbs) was a fond mother; Juliette and Harriet were mercy-min- isters, and Eliza Susan's instructress-influence in rightly and righteously shaping young Norwalk life entitles her memory to monumental perpetuity.

The present Hezekiah Betts house, in France Street, supplanted the house of his father, Thomas Betts, which, erected upon the same site, was burned in 1779. The 1896 house was built around the old Revolutionary chimney, which flue, however, was some years since, for room sake, removed.

5Mary Platt was a daughter of Joseph Platt, 2d.

this couple was born, Dec. 27, 1792, their daughter Lucretia.' The father built the present H. M. Prowitt place and occupied it until its sale by himself to Samuel Hanford,2 after whose ownership it passed into the hands of the Prowitts. Josiah H. Fitch, upon giving up his own house, went to live with his mother and step-father in what is now the Mrs. Theo- docia F. Bradley home, where died his mother, wife and self. His daughter, Lucretia, married the well-known Capt. Samuel Daskam, of Norwalk, and from their wedding hour, on to the old age of both, the two enjoyed a happy life-day. The bride for several years survived her husband and spent a serene age-evening. Her cottage, the home-sites of settlers Richard Seymour, and subsequently, James Rogers, and now the possession of her daughter, Theodocia F., was a comfort-seat. Capt. Daskam was a Long Island Sound mariner in the days of packet passenger traffic. His children were Samuel, born Jan. 31, 1823 and Theodocia F.

Samuel married, Oct. 4, 1847, Arietta M., daughter of Henry and Eunice (Wilcox) Rogers, and had Ida A., died in infancy; Jennie May, who married July 6, 1887, James Lawrence, son of Lawrence M. and Catherine (St. John) Stevens, and had Eunice, born August 21, 1889.

Theodocia F. married, Oct. 7. 1840, George Hayes Bradley,3 of New Haven, and had Helen S., married Minot E. Osborn ; George T .; Henry K .; Samuel J.

son of Joseph, ist. son of John.ist. Her father was Hon. Joseph and her grandfather "ye worshipful" Joseph Platt. Her sisters were Mrs. Samuel Fitch, Mrs. Timothy Fitch, Mrs. Stephen Thatcher, Mrs. Daniel Hanford and Mrs. Avery.

Besides Lucretia the children of Josiah II. and Ann P. Fitch were Jonathan, born Sept. 10, 1795; Theodocia, born October 9, 1799, died at the age of eighteen; Nancy, born July 17, 1801; Lewis, born Sept. 22, 1802; Hanford born March 16, 1804; Wil- liam, born Nov. 22, 1806; Mary P., born Dec. 25, 1808; George, born August 27, 1809; Horace, born Sept. 14, ISII.

Of the foregoing children Nancy married, April 12, 1819, Francis, son of Asa Hoyt, nephew of Mrs. Moses Gregory and brother -in - law of Ex - mayor Conklin Brush of Brooklyn. Lewis married Louisa Smith, and lived in New Haven. He was a promi- nent Congregationalist of that city and the father of Rev. Win. T. Fitch of the P. E. Church.

George married in Guilford.

Horace married, Aug. 19, 1837, Harriet, daughter of Eseck and Maria ( Osborn ) Kellogg, and had: Emma; Anna; Carrie; Charles.

Of Lucretia, ( Mrs. Samuel Daskam ) the oldest of the children, it may be said that she was a genuine Norwalk mother. Kindness was her nature. She was of excellent spirit, was capital company and walked as erectly and vigorously at eighty as perhaps, at forty. She lived at least a mile from her Church,

(St. Paul's ) but she frequented its services and was almost sure to be seen after worship on Sunday after- noon, wending her way homeward, accompanied by, until she parted with them at their gate entrances, her choice friends, Mrs. Stephen Buckingham St. John and Mrs. Charles Thomas. In and out the church she was beloved.

2Samuel Hanford was a son of Hezekiah Han- ford, 2d. son of Hezekiah, Ist. who was son of Samuelist. (son of Rev. Thomas Hanford). His mother (Mrs. Hezekiah2d.) was Sarah, daughter of James and Ann ( Hanford ) Fitch and grand - niece of Gov. Thomas Fitch. He was married but had no children. His brother Elnathan married a sister of Daniel Nash, 2d. of Westport, and aunt of the present Edward H. Nash of that town. After Elnathan's decease his widow married the Van Hoosear grandfather of the present I). H. Van Hoosear, the Wilton genealogist. David, another brother of Samuel, has a son, David, living in South Norwalk to-day.

3The wedding of George H. and Theodocia F. Bradley was a Norwalk event. The ceremony was performed in the old St. Paul's Church, after it had been removed (to admit of the building of the present edifice) to the Jarvis lot on the opposite side of the street, and while it stood upon the mover's "blocks." The dash of carriages to the church, and the drive away that autumn day of the contracting parties, after the ceremony, to New Haven, created a stir in those more primitive times.

Beneath the walls of Trinity Church, on the New Haven Green, rest the remains of one of the founders of that church, a young French Huguenot, Timothy, son of Pierre and Marguerite Bontecou, the American ancestors of the Bontecou household. Timothy Bonte- cou had married Mary, fourth child of Col. David and Prudence (Churchill) Goodrich. The Colonel, who was born May 4, 1667, was a son of Ensign William Goodrich and wife Sarah, who was a daughter of Hon. Matthew Marvin, Sr., "Magistrate," and one of the settlers of Norwalk. Mary, born Dec. 15, 1704, a daughter of Ensign William and Sarah, married Sept. 29, 1736, Timothy Bontecou, Jr., a son of Timothy, Sr., the Trinity Church sleeper. Timothy, Jr., a New Haven silversmith, had a son William, who started out in life in his father's Connecticut city, but who subsequently went to Troy, N. Y. To William and his wife Hannah, was born, July 22, 1792, a daughter, Polly, who married, Nov. 2, 1812, Capt. Richard Hanford, son of John' and Rebecca Hanford, who, born Jan. 9, 1794, in Norwalk, removed to Lansingburgh, then a village, three miles north of Troy. Lansing- burgh was of lovely situation, on the east bank of the upper Hudson and its recent Nor- walk contributed citizen proceeded to found a passenger and freight traffic line from thence to the City of New York, one hundred and sixty miles to the south, and thus stood in honored transportation-association with several notable Norwalk names. He was the junior of the Warrens,2 whose vessel had thither sailed from Norwalk when he was only four years old, and he was a younger man, by fourteen years, than Capt. Richard Hall Fitch,3 also of

John Hanford, born Jan. 1, 1755, married, Aug. 6, 1775, Rebecca Gorham, born Feb. 12, 1759. His brother Jedediah lived in the present France Street, Norwalk, and his brother Joseph where now stands the Page cottage in Westport.

3Capt. Richard Hall Fitch, born Nov. 5, 1770, was the fourth child of Col. Thomas and Sarah (Hill) Fitch, and a grandchild of Gov. Thomas Fitch of Norwalk. He went from the rebuilt Fitch home (standing on the Earle Hill of 1896) to marry Theo- docia Conklin of Long Island. The young couple resided in Norwalk until about 1812. Here the two of their children who survived infancy were born. Their daughter Sarah married Peletia Bliss of Troy, N. Y , who was early left a widow with three child- ren, LeGrand, James and Sarah Elizabeth. James married Lydia Brintnall, and had no children. The parents, however, adopted a daughter, Amelia, who

married Robert De Belle and resided in Georgia, where they had four children. Emily, the second daughter of Capt. Richard HI. Fitch married, as his sec- ond wife, Albert P. Heartt, one of the best known citi- zens of Troy. These had one child, a daughter who died unmarried at the age of twenty-three. Mrs. Albert P. Heartt died May 31, 1874, beloved, as was her mother before her, for her good works. Capt. Richard H. Fitch had a next younger sister, Mary Esther, who married her cousin Edward, son of Tim- othy and Esther (Platt) Fitch, who lived in the hon- ored habitation which stood in the meadow directly east of the 1896 widow Walter T. Gray's East Nor- walk home. Here presided Esther, one of the five grand-daughters of "ye worshipful Joseph Platt," a revered Norwalk memory.

Norwalk, but now of Troy, and who, just after Fulton's "Clermont" of 1808, was put in command of the pioneer steamer "New London," which ran between Albany and New York. Capt. Hanford, of the " Royal Oak," was nineteen years the senior of Capt. Alanson P. St. John,' of Norwalk, all of which men represented Norwalk family strength, and together constituted an enterprising Empire State business confraternity. Levi C. Hanford, son of Capt. Richard and Polly Hanford, married, Oct. 11, 1861, Margaret, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Wool) Goodman4 of Lansingburgh, N. Y., and had :

Robert Goodman ; Mary A .;

Horace Day : Harry Norman.

Daniel Hanford and Hannah (Mrs. Avery), had a Y'ale graduate for a father and the daughter of Rev. Thomas Hanford for their mother. Their descent was something in which to take just pleasure, and their names deserve to be remembered. The child- ren of Edward (son of Timothy and Esther) and Mary Esther (daughter of Col. Thomas and Sarah) Fitch, were Angenette and Adeline. Adeline died unmar- ried. Angenette married Daniel Hall of Troy, N. Y .. and had: Mary O ..
