NORWALK.

young soldier of twenty-three when Norwalk was burned, lived to see his farm divided by the tracks of the New York and New Haven railroad, and just as the road was opened to peace- fully end his days at the old Rowayton home, from whence he was carried, at his decease, to the Warren burial ground, near the late Bigelow premises. Before two of his grandchildren he, shortly previous to his death, brought out a stocking lined with gold, and made a loan.

Mrs. John Belden3rd survived her husband and the property (14 acres) continued her ownership and that of the children until March 18. 1796, when it was sold by the heirs of John Belden&rd to John#th and his brother Isaac.

He was a public man and appears, like his neighbor Richard Olmstead, to have been a surveyor. His home lot almost backed upon the mill pond, which because of its capacity insufficiency was, at the close of Mr. Webb's life, abandoned. The town elected himself and Thomas Fitch and Nathaniel Richards as a com- mittee to advise with one Swayne of Stamford in re- lation to the mill situation (see page 35) in Norwalk. Richard Webb, Jr., resided in Stamford, where he had quite a family. It is possible that he came with the senior Webb to Norwalk, but if so his tarry here was short. He was early identified with Stamford inter- ests and in 1651 made purchase of a residence in that town.

Richard Webb, Sr., who came with his fellow ad- venturers to Norwalk, was, according to careful rec- ord investigation (see page 398), of the fourth gener- ation (Richard of Norwalk IV., Alexander, Jr., III., Alexander, Sr., II., Henry I.) from Henry Webb, who was usher to the Privy Council of Katharine (Parr), Queen Regent of Britain in the XVIth century. This Henry married an Arden, while his sister married one of the identical family and had a daughter who mar- ried, May, 1562, John Shakespeare, father of (April 23, 1564) William Shakespeare, the great poet. There seems to have been a double Webb-Arden connection which amounts, perhaps, to relationship. The Nor- walk Webb father valued, it may well be supposed, this ancestry and affinity, but he could not foresee those of his name who were to succeed him, among whom, to the credit of Norwalk fatherhood, were the honored Col. Charles Webb of the Revolution, Gen. Samuel B. Webb, Washington's private secretary, William Henry Webb, the distinguished ship builder of New York, Hon. James Watson Webb, the notable New York Editor, Gen. Alexander S. Webb of Gettys- burg fame, Dr. W. Seward Webb, President of the Wagner Palace Car Company, Henry Walter Webb, Vice President of the New York Central Railroad. Lawyer William B. Webb of Washington, D. C., Dr. George F. Webb, the Ohio inventor, Rev. Henry Webb Johnson, D. D., of the west, and Rev. Harvey Webb, D. D., of Cleveland, Ohio.

Richard Webb, Jr., the names of whose children are given on page 150, was a Stamford progenitor. Norwalk can hardly claim him, but its sister city may well register his offspring. One of these, at least, has

a distinct place in Norwalk annals. When the New York and New Haven railroad was laid out there lived, at Rowayton, an aged man who took comfort in his Rowalton-side home, and with some reluctance parted with a portion of his farm for the company's use. This veteran, Moses Webb, born February 18, 1756, son of Epenetus and Deborah (Ferris) Webb, lived, as before stated, at Five Mile River, now Rowayton. He owned the tract in that section through which the Consolidated road is built, and upon which its present Rowayton passenger stations stand. His still existing home was built somewhat south of the stations referred to near the point of the highway branching to Five Mile River Landing. He was a Revolutionary soldier and a brother-in-law of the soldier John Street, who was the father of William Jarvis Street, the daughter of whom, Mrs. George R. Cholwell, still beautifully presides over her honored parents' remodelled hearthstone in the High Street of 1899.

Moses and Polly (Street) Webb were the parents of Epenetus Ferris Webb, who was the father of Mrs. James A. Tyndall, now of the Connecticut Turnpike, near the State Armory, and who formerly resided in the ancient Main Street house in which Henry J. Ray- mond, founder of the New York Times, was born. The late Martin S. and William T. Craw are of the same Webb blood as the patriot Moses Webb, who died in 1850. Mr. Webb married, second, a widow Jarvis, an instructress, whose school was kept in the Eseck Kellogg (now Edward Bradley) West Norwalk home. His descent from Richard Webb, Sr., of Norwalk, ap- pears to be as follows :

Gen. II. Richard Webb, Jr.

III. Joseph1st and Hannah (Scofield) Webb.

IV. Joseph2nd and Mary (Hoyt) Webb.

= Epenetus1st and Deborah (Ferris) Webb (second wife).

" VI. Moses and Polly (Street) Webb.

Moses Webb's grandmother, Mary, was a daugh- ter of Benjamin and Hannah (Weed) Hoyt. Mr. Webb was a Revolutionary soldier and he is the au- thority for the statement that Gen. Tryon's officers temporarily quartered arms or ammunition, or both, in the old Belden barn as per cut fronting page 383. It is known that said barn contained one or more timbers which were war-inscribed, but the exact na

The homes of the Norwalk John Beldens were situated thus: John Belden1st, on Strawberry Hill; John2nd, Bissell corner of 1895; John3rd, West Avenue and Berkeley Street of 1896; Jonn4th, same as John3rd; John5th, with his parents Henry and Esther Belden, site of Grace Church, 1896.

Thomas, son of Samuelard and Ann (Lampson) Belden, married, December 24, 1798, Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. George Ogilvie, and had as per page 253.

Samuel, son of Samuel Belden3rd, married Laurany, daughter of David2nd and Susan- nah (Rogers) Lambert, and had no children. He, as was the case with his father, was town clerk of Wilton.

William (Col.), son of Samuel Belden3rd, married, August 16, 1801, Rebecca, born May 2, 1781, daughter of Joshua, born June 8, 1750, and Sarah (born August 26, 1756) Adams, and had :

Henrietta1, born May 16, 1802, died February 13, 1843 ;

ture of the inscription is unknown. Mr. Webb lived to the age of ninety-four, and was an esteemed Nor- walk veteran. The late William K. James, a Norwalk financier, knew him well and would direct a riding companion's attention to the patriarch as he chanced to overtake him in his driving trips over the country. Moses Webb's great uncle, Joseph Webb3rd, born Jan- uary 26, 1700, was the grandfather of Gen. Samuel B. Webb, whose son, Hon. James Watson Webb, is of hemisphere wide fame, and whose children, Dr. W. Seward Webb of the New York Central Railroad, and Gen. Alexander S. Webb of national renown, the town of Norwalk gathers honor to itself in naming as its descendants. Nor does the Webb memorabilia here cease. Richard WebbIst of Norwalk drew his last earthly breath in the dew-pearly precincts across which, in the East Norwalk of to-day, pass the long and heavy laden trains of the four-track Consolidated road. Samuel Webb, son of Richard2nd, had a name- sake son born on the first Sunday of November, 1692, who had a brother Charles, whose son, Charles2nd, was Connecticut's eminent Col. Charles Webb. The little Lord's day born Webb (Samuel2nd) was also a. first cousin of William Webb, who was a great grandfather of Isaac Webb, the naval architect. Isaac Webb, who hailed from Shippan Point, was a no distant neighbor of the family of Isaac Bell, and his son, William Henry Webb, became the ship mod- deler and builder of the western continent, who was knighted, and thereafter known as Sir William Webb. These all refer back to this county for parentage, and, as elsewhere stated, embrace in their notable kin- circle the Webb historian, Dr. George F. Webb, an in- ventor and distinguished medical specialist of Cleve- land, Ohio, and his cousin, the Rev. Dr. Henry Webb Johnson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of South Bend, Indiana.

Interest will ever attach itself to the story of the first English named party in the Sagamore Ruck- inheage Norwalk deed, Richard WebbIst. It is claimed that he made the survey from Hartford to Norwalk. Here he had fourteen distinct land parcels set off to him by the planters. These parcels were on both sides of the river and down in the " Planting Field," as well as east as far as the Saugatuck. He was one of the seven heaviest noted land owners in 1655. He is Norwalk mentioned in 1659 as "de- ceased," although at the inventory of his estate as registered (1665) in Fairfield it is named that he died "July last." It is reasonable to believe that he was the father of Richard Webb, Jr., who bought a Stam- ford home in 1651. While, however, the Norwalk evidence upon this point is circumstantial rather than documentary one recorded transaction (see Vol. II., N. T. R.) appears confirming. John Webb of North- ampton, Mass., is considered to have been of blood of Richard1st of Norwalk. This John had a son, Eben- ezer, born January 16, 1673, whose brief history as a Norwalk resident is touching. He came hither some years after Richard1st had passed away and made a purchase (perhaps only a beginning) of Nor- walk property. He had just "come to age" and here found, possibly, family friends. Death intervened and good Zerubbabel Hoyt, ancestor of famed descend- ants, took care of the stranger youth's personal effects and delivered them, in 1703, to his brother Henry Webb and his sisters Anna, Mary and Thank- ful of Northampton. Mr. Hoyt makes a record of "3 or 4 shillings in money" found in the young man's pocket. Ebenezer Webb is tabulated on page 81 of this volume.

Colonel William Belden was a prominent Wilton man. He resided a short distance north of his father, Samuel Sr., on the road between Wilton and Cannons Stations. His mother was a daughter of David?" and Susannah (Rogers) Lambert, and a granddaughter of Nehemiah and Elizabeth (Fitch) Rogers (see page 172). His son Frederick, long a resident of Norwalk, came to this town first in the capacity of a clerk. As a young man he was admired and, later, marked for his urbanity. He was engaged in business in New Orleans, but generally spent his summers north. His home pleasantly bordered Norwalk "Green," and was an attractive hearthstone.

1JOHN BELDEN MITCHELL.

A telegram was received in this city last evening from San Antonio, announcing the death of a well known citizen of Corpus Christi, John Belden Mitchell, which occurred on Government Hill at the home of May Halter at noon yesterday, Oct. 3rd. Mr. Mitchell had been in ill health for the past year, and last July went to San Antonio, accompanied by his wife, in hopes that a change of climate might prove of benefit to him. Mr. Mitchell was a native Vermont, and at the time of his death was 66 years old. He was a graduate of Yale College, and came to Corpus Christi when quite a young man and en- gaged in mercantile business, which he carried on be- fore the war and after until a few years ago. In 1864 he married Miss Nellie Evans, sister of Mr. George

F. Evans. Mr. Mitchell was an elder in the Presby- terian Church, and one of the leaders in the erection of the church in this city. He was a man of the strictest integrity ; a man of enterprise, and for many years, when he enjoyed good health, took great in- terest in all public matters pertaining to the interest and advancement of the city and section in which he lived, serving at one time as Mayor of this city, and filling other positions of trust and honor. By his death Corpus Christi loses a good man and worthy citizen. Mr. Mitchell leaves, besides his wife, two sons and one daughter to mourn his death. Many friends join the Callinin extending heartfelt sympathy to the afflicted family. The remains are expected here to-night for interment to-morrow in the family burying ground .- Corpus Christi Callin, Oct. 4, 1895.

The Frederick Belden residence "on the green " supplanted the more ancient Grum- man home, and was presided over by those to whom refinement and good breeding seemed a second nature. Mrs. Belden was gracefully dignified and of pleasing presence. IIer good mother, Mrs. Gruman, who was for many years her daughter's care, was, like her near neighbor. Mrs. Senator Thaddeus Betts. a feeling friend. Those of Miss Susan Betts' school children who yet remain may recall how that good instructress was wont, during the noon recess on the green, to receive warm, appetizing viands, as a mid-day luncheon. She was unforgotten in the school's generous vicinity. As the Belden children approached maturity the bright home invited the young. The second Mrs. Belden has preserved its reputation.

1Mr. and Mrs. Col. Buckingham Lockwood and family were some of the Norwalk relatives who, although many miles separated their own and the home of their Amos Belden family kin, still kept up their Carmel intimacy. It was made a point when the sleighing was fine, to drive from Norwalk (via Ridgefield and North Salem) to Carmel. It was a day's journey, but oldtime hospitality was sure to

reward the trip's close. Warm greetings, blazing hearth fires, and the attendance of the Belden colored retinue service welcomed the guests. The home (see page 96) was beautifully situated. Amos Belden had charge of the Phillips estate and became largely in- terested in Dutchess county property. His wife (Elizabeth Isaacs) was social and an agreeable enter- tainer.

THE LINE OF WILLIAM2nd AND MARGARET (ARMS) BELDEN.

William2nd, son of Daniel1st and Elizabeth (Foote) Belden, resided in early life in Deerfield, but eventually found his way to the home in Norwalk of his uncles John Belden1st and SamuelIst. The two latter lived in the southern or settlement portion of the town (East Norwalk, 1898), but their cousin chose, about 1720-21, the northern section of the plantation (Wilton Parish) for his habitation. Through his father he was of like Belden blood with all the Norwalk Beldens, but through his mother his line of the family inherits the strong blood of the New England Demings and Footes.1 The children of William2nd and Margaret (Arms) Belden, who were married May 2, 1700, were :

Margaret, born February 10, 1701, Mrs. Nathaniel Slawson ; Daniel2nd, born September 14, 1702, late Norwalk appearance ;2 Elizabeth, born November 10, 1704, Mrs. Daniel Cole ;8 Thankful, born February 9, 1706-7, died August 26, 1717 ; Mary, born June 25, 1709, Mrs. Nathan Betts ; Abigail, born January 4, 1710-II, Mrs. John Rockwell; Ruth,4 born January 18, 1712-13, Mrs. John Seymourard ; Mirriam, born November 11, 1714, Mrs. Samuel Higgins; Esther,5 born October 11, 1716, Mrs Daniel Hurlbutt1st; Thankful2nd, born October 5, 1718, Mrs. Alexander Ressiquie, Jr .; Sarah,6 born August 20, 1720, Mrs. Zebulon Crane ; Azor1st, born December 10, 1723.

1 Deming-Foote stock is colonial excellence brand. John Deming, Sr., was a 1662 Connecticut charterer. His sister Elizbeth, born in England in 1595, married at the age of twenty, Nathaniel Foote, Sr., and at the age of about of about fifty the Colonial Governor Thomas Welles. Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Deming) Foote Sr. had Nathaniel Jr., who was the father of Mrs. Daniel Belden (see page 156), the mother of the first William Belden of Norwalk. Mary Foote, great aunt of Wiliam Belden, was; first, Mrs. John Stoddard of Wethersfield, and, second, Mrs. John Goodrich of the same place, and, third, Mrs. Lieut. Thomas Tracy of Norwich.

2Married first, February 22, 1727, Esther, daughter of Samuel Smith of Hatfield, Mass. She died October 19, 1757. Married, second, Mary Kim- berly. In 1744 his Norwalk relatives took six horses and removed himself and family from Deerfield to Norwalk, Wilton parish.
