The Isaac Hoyt Home was fronted by a row of fine cherry trees and backed by an apple orchard. It extended quite over the present " Beard Hill," and was north-bounded by a path which may to-day be seen in the rear of the Edward Beard residence in South Norwalk. Mrs. Isaac Hoyt (Mary Raymond) was the daughter of Eliakim and Hannah (Street) Ray- mond, whose residence has been supplanted by the Washington Street Donovan Building of 1899. There, where to-day business has its seat, Mary Raymond and her four sisters,

Rebecca, Esther,1 Elizabeth and Hannah (pages 129, 130 and 135) quietly enjoyed themselves. The old home stood tenanted until Saturday afternoon, July 10, 1779, when, at eventide, a son (Nathaniel) brought up the team and as Tryon's forces were entering the harbor took the family away to a place of safety and left the domicile to be consumed at break of day next morning. Nathaniel, the brother who conveyed his parents to their shelter from Tryon's attack, built, at the close of the war (1783), the old Raymond structure now standing at the foot of Washington Street, north side. His brother George became an officer under PAUL. JONES, and his residence was afterwards the Chichester house, now southeast corner of Washington and South Main Streets. His other brothers were Eliakim, Street, Henry and Napthali.


The descendants of Eliakim and Hannah Raymond have colonial "honor " record


"Esther. born February 13, 1757, daughter of Eliakim and Hannah (Street) Raymond, married (page 129) Hezekiah, son of Dr. Uriah and Hannah (Lockwood) Rogers (page 179), and resided next north of the Charles R. Sherman Main Street house. Mrs. Hezekiah Rogers (note, page 42) was aunt to Mrs. Sherman, and the dwellings of both these relat- tives are standing in 1899. Jesse Lee, the founder of Methodism in America, made his first visit to Nor- walk on Wednesday, June 11, 1789, reaching the town at about + o'clock r. M. His first call would appear to have been upon Mr: Rogers, from whom he asked the use of her rooms in which to hold a ser- vice. As Mr. Rogers was not at home his wife felt


that she must deeline. Mr. Lec after suggesting the neighboring orchard as a convenient gathering spot. finally went into the shaded highway fronting the Rogers, and there preached New England's maiden Methodist sermon, the text being. "ye must be born again." The fact of Mrs. Rogers non compliance with Mr. Lee's request is offset by the Inter fret that the cradle of Norwalk Methodism was the identical child- home of the said lady. After the day of Eliakim Raymond (her father) the old family home (site in 1899 of the Washington Street Donovan store) was purchased by Alsalam Day, through whose untig. ging zeal the organization of the Norwalk Methodist Inuly was accomplished.

from the fact that on December 5, 1774, the father, Eliakim, was the first named of a com- mittee of twenty chosen to act in a matter of Continental Congress emanation.


The " Ely Neck" road wound from Isaac Hoyt's west as far as the corner of the pres- ent Spring and West Streets, whence it diverged to the left until was reached the "Whistle- ville" Consolidated bridge of 1899, whence it bore to the right and then taking a generally southerly direction ended at Belden's Point. Some of Norwalk's older citizens, Seymour. Wilcox, Smith. Byxbee, Daniel and Raymond Hoyt, lived along its line. John Hoyt1 lived on the height (Whistleville) near the turn in the Ely Neck road.


"The Flax Hill Road (West Street of 1889). from which the Ely Neck path diverged. was one of the oldest designations of ancient Norwalk, and the name (see page 126) is per- petuation-worthy. It commenced, to speak exactly, at the flower adorned yard of William and Lydia Seymour (site to-day of South Norwalk Franklin Street School). A sparkling brook from the Indian woods (Bull Run of 1896) crossed the base of the hill which extended west along its present layout as far as "Fox Hollow,"" a region now headed by the Dr. Burke home. The next rise (west) was " Roton Hill." John Raymond lived at the eastern extremity of Flax Hill. The liberty pole and parade ground were at its summit (north side, opposite Senator John A. Ferris' home, 1896) and the Wood's" lived near its western extremity.


1Zerubbabel, the youngest son of Walter Hoyt, the Norwalk settler, had four sons and two daugh- ters. His third son, Daniel, who was born January 1, 1681, married at about the age of twenty-three and had John, born December 3, 1716, who married Sarah, daughter of James and Deborah (Stewart) Pickett, and granddaughter of James1st and Rebecca (Keeler) Pickett, and of James1st and Experience Stuart, all of Norwalk. John and Sarah Hoyt had John, born May 8, 1755, who married, June 5, 1783. Ruth, born February 3, 1764, daughter of Stephen and Mary (Benedict) Gregory, and granddaughter of John3rd and Mary (Smith) Gregory. John and Ruth Hoyt lived on the high ground immediately north of the 1898 Railroad bridge at " Whistleville." Mr. Hoyt was a large land owner. He was very success- ful in his growth and afterward manufacture of flax. Near his residence stood a large building to which flax was brought for fabric-preparation. From far and near the grain was brought for treatment by Mr. John Hoyt. After pulling (not cutting) it in the field root, stalk and head were "crackled," beaten, hetch- cheled and bleached. It was now ready for making up. Mr. Hoyt made quantities of cart rope from the vegetable. Flax manufacture was quite an industry with him.


2This wild extended from the west foot of Flax Hill as far down as Belden's Neck. The stream which passes near the Wilson Point Oil Works of 1896 seems to have coursed to a greater or less extent the Fox Hollow district. At the termination of this dis- trict, and directly east of "Witch Lane," exists to- day a small romantic patch which, 'ere the hand of progress shall invade it, is entitled to preservation as a veritable Naramake haunt.


3This was an old "Flax Hill" family. Flax was grown all about the neighborhood, and in the days of Tryon's British occupancy of Eaton's Neck, Long Island, the English soldiers who were wont to rum- mage and raid the Connecticut coast strip twixt "Shippan" and "Compo," made their marauding visits as far inland as the Byxbies' and Woods' Flax Hill neighborhood. "Dap," the familiar name (given, it is thought, by a grandchild) by which the first Nor- walk Byxbee (John) was known, lived peacefully immediately west of the only store, in 1899, on Flax Hill. He was well known near Eastham, Mass., from which vicinity he came to Norwalk and planted him- self on Flax Hill. The Wood's were neighbors who raised fine poultry, a fact which came to the Long Island depredators' attention. These military men made Mr. Wood an offer for his " game." but he was disinclined to consider it. The temptation was too strong for the English, who, consequently, paid a nocturnal call to the poultry yard on the "Hill." The next morning the proprietor discovered his loss, but found the following explanatory note, to which was attached British coin, both note and coin being tied to the neck of one of his coveted brood:


"Deacon Wood, your geese are good, And stealing is but slander; We've bought your geese for a penny a-piece And paid it to the gander."


The Wood's seem to have originated in Jamaica, L. I. "Deacon" Wood was evidently a descendant of Jonathan Wood1st, who brought the name to Nor- walk. Dolly Wood, wife of Nathaniel Raymond (son of Eliakim1st) was possibly the daughter of Electious Wood. Said Electious had two daughters, Dolly and Elizabeth, to whom he refers in 1775.


THE SAMUEL CANNON HOME


The old style fence above, was built, after the Lockwood purchase, by William Craw, the father of the Inte Martin S. Craw. The street wall, which fronts the grounds, is incident memorable from the fact that Hon. James Goodwin, who died the most opulent citizen, it is probable, of Hartford, and father of the present Rev. Francis M. and James Goodwin of that city, took, years agone, a perilous leap over this same masonry. He was riding through Norwalk, en route for New York, and reaching Mill Hill at dusk mistook the private Cannon-Lockwood road for the public highway, Reining his steed suddenly to the left the horse plunged over the steep, carrying everything with him. Mr. (nulwin recovered himself in a moment sind arrived in the metropolis in excellent time. Hon, James Goodwin was an intimate of Henry T. Morgan, Cashier under Heury Belden of the Fairfield County Bank, Norwalk,

It is a tradition (page 127) that Washington on one of his Boston trips suggested or actually made a re-survey of some part of Flax Hill. There seems, however, to be no evi- dence of this.


THE SAMUEL CANNON HOME. "MILL HILL" CREST.


This Norwalk family seat facing the harbor overlooking "The Bridge" and having for its "vicinity" the Dr. Uriah Rogers and Hezekiah Belden estates, was the home of Samuel and Sarah (Belden) Cannon. Samuel Cannon, as was true of his "Commodore" father, was stirring, and with his wife, who was of Nor- walk's staunchest blood (Haynes, Bartlett, Betts and Belden) headed a strong house- hold. "Commodore" Cannon would sometimes go as far as the Oblong to place his grain or other orders, and his son Samuel probably knew the widely stretching Norwalk ter- ritory as well. The plate-portrayed Mill Hill home was a spot dear to the Cannon children. LeGrand, the only son, appeared to possess the ardor-temperament of his Cannon grandfather and Belden uncle. Norwalk saw but little of him, as in his younger manhood he established himself in Troy, N. Y., where his wife's relations were a power. Mrs. LeGrand Cannon (see page 272) was a granddaughter of one of the proprietors of what is still known as the " Rock House Woods," a large forest-stretch extending westerly and north westerly of the station known as "Cannons" on the Danbury division of the Consolidated road. Job Burlock held, with the DeForests, a large land tract in this section. He was loyal to the king and compelled, conse- quently, during the war troubles, to reside elsewhere. He evidently returned from the prov- inces to Norwalk to look after his property, and here, so runs the Layton testimony, fell dead at his door step in the romantic district referred to. Mrs. Job Burlock appeared afterward at St. Johns, New Brunswick, "with one child." She, it is believed, married, second, an English officer, and the whilom maiden of the diversified Norwalk Pimpewaugh Wold disap- pears from the history of her native town. Her name, however, (and that of her foreign hus- band, page 272) is legibly inscribed upon our records.


LeGrand Cannon departed from the Mill Hill hearthstone and identified himself with living issues in his adopted Troy. Thither a number of his Norwalk relatives had already gone, and there he founded an influential home. He was an incorporator of the Troy Water Works, a member of the first board of directors of the Renssalaer and Saratoga Railroad, a di- rector of the New York and Albany Railroad Company, the head of the LeGrand Cannon Roll- ing Mill, and a prominent Trojan generally. The Cannon pew was close to the chancel in the Third Street stone St. Paul's church, the elegant damask hangings of which pew 'found, singularly enough, their way at last to Norwalk.


John Pintard (page 303), second cousin of LeGrand Cannon, left Norwalk somewhat prior to the date of the latter's birth, but had so far life-succeeded as that when the young LeGrand was only five years old his cousin in the second degree endorsed to the amount of one million dollars the notes of the husband of Lady Kitty Stirling (see page 19). This was a blow to Pintard, whose Norwalk relatives must have wondered at his ability to make good the Duer loss. He gave up everything; but rose again to a pinnacle, and has the proud

record of being one of the founders of the New York free school system, to which he gave the sum of ten thousand dollars. His father, the son of Alderman Pintard, bought, Septem- ber 15, 1758, a Norwalk home site on the opposite side of the street from the grounds of John Cannon1st.


Colonel LeGrand B. Cannon, son of LeGrand of Troy, and grandson of Samuel of Norwalk, was a Norwalk school lad (see page 171) and himself and companions were large contributors to the happy side of Norwalk school experience. The Colonel chose New York city for a residence, where, possessed of abilities and fitted for an alert life, he has been a citizen of large interests and influence, while the nation will ever stand debtor to him by reason of his loyal, valuable and memorable services in the days of the American Civil War. His sisters (pages 272 and 412) were ladies of prominence, his son (page 412) was of social and skillful rank, and his nephew, Edward Courtland Gale, who married Marie, daughter of John I. and Mary Mabbett (Warren) Thompson (page 277), was not of the Norwalk Gale family of earlier days, but a descendant of Dr. Samuel Gale of honored memory of Troy, N. Y. The father of E. C. Gale (E. Thompson Gale) was one of the best known Trojans of his generation and his mother was a Norwalk DeForest-Lambert descendant (page 279). Mr. Gale, born October 28, 1861, is a graduate, class of 1883, of the Renssalaer Polytechnic Insti- tute of Troy. He married, 24th April, 1888, as before mentioned a daughter of John I., son of John L. Thompson of Troy. His children are Alfred Warren, born January 2, 1892, and Harold DeForest, born January 18, 1896.


After the Cannon use of the Mill Hill home the property became the purchase of Colonel Buckingham St. John Lockwood. Mrs. Colonel Lockwood was a niece of Mrs. Cannon and the handsome spot seemed naturally to fall to the Lockwoods, who have pre- served its old reputation. It has been a New England hearth of merit, and as it stands river- facing and elm o'erhung it to-day presents an imposing appearance, and is one of this town's fondest domiciles (pages 299 and 304).


QUINTARD.


Isaac1st and Jeanne (Fume) Quintard were married in the Chapel of the Gaunt, Bristol, England, on November 26, 1693. The groom had resided "near Lusignau in Poitou in France," and the two were married by M. Descariac, pastor of the French Church in Bristol, the fruit of the union being :


Marie, baptized January 13, 1695;


Isaac2nd, baptized December 13, 1696;1


1Isaac2nd, son of Isaac Quintard1st, went with his brother Abraham to Stamford. Isaac2nd lived to reach the age of two and forty years. When twenty years old he married Hannah Knapp of Stamford. These had a son, Peter, born 1730, who married Elizabeth DeMills and had Isaac3rd, who married Hannah Palmer and had Isaac4th, born May 15,


1794, who married Mrs. Clarissa (Hoyt) Show. Isaac4th and Clarissa Quintard were the parents of five children, among them Rt. Rev. Charles T. Quin- tard, Bishop of Tennessee, and Edward A., a heavy New York city business man. The eloquent Bishop Quintard, well known in Norwalk, was happy in meeting his Quintard kin.

Pierre1st, or Peter, as he came to be called, married Jeanne, daughter of Jaques and and Jeane (O'dart) Ballereau (born July 3, 1708) of New York. On May 18, 1731, said Pierre or Peter1st was admitted a freeman and recorded as a goldsmith. He came to Norwalk in about 1637-8, and made several land purchases, appearing to select for his home seat the meadows somewhat north of the present Marshall Street in South Norwalk. His children were :


Jaques or James1st, born February 6, 1723-4, no record ;


Marie, born May 23, 1726;

James2nd 2 2nd,2 son of Peter Quintard2m, married, first, Sarah, daughter of Deacon Raymond,


1Stephen, born October 24, 1771, son of Reuben and Phebe (Tuttle) Mott, married Clarissa, daughter of Peter2nd and Ruth Quintard. Mrs. Reuben Mott was from New Canaan. Her husband was probably of the Long Island Mott family. The children, other than Stephen, of Reuben and Phebe Mott, were Jesse, born December 17, 1764, Grace (Mrs. Thomas Trow- bridge), born July 14, 1766, Sarah (Mrs. Johnson), born June 30, 1769, Polly (Mrs. Smith of Ridgefield), Fanny (Mrs. Curtis Whiting of Stratford), Betsey, born April 23, 1776 (Mrs. James Jarvis of New York).


The children of Stephen and Clarissa Mott were Eliza (unmarried), Marietta (Mrs. Rev. Dr. Humph- reys), and Langdon.


Langdon, son of Stephen Mott, married (see page 275) Harriet, daughter of Captain Joshua and Margaret Bouton. Their son, Charles B., married Emily A., daughter of Edwin and Eliza (Smith) Hoyt (see page 359), and their daughter Harriet married Henry, son of Dr. Emmery C. Bissell of Nor- walk.


The children of Thomas and Grace Trowbridge were Nancy (Mrs. Jacob Jennings2nd), Betsey (Mrs. Uriah Johnson), and a son who was accidentally shot at Sag Harbor.

nah (Mrs. Captain Nathaniel Clark), Hattie (unmar- ried), and Mary Elizabeth (Mrs. Allen Betts).


Jacob Jennings2nd, who married Mary Trow- bridge, was born April 22, 1779. He was a son of Jacob1st and Grace (Parks) Jennings (see page 43), and had a sister Anna, who married, first, a Munson, and second Edwin Van Antwerp1st, whose son, Edwin Van Antwerp2nd formerly owned the East Avenue property afterward occupied by Charles B. White of New York. Anna Jennings married, third, Hezekiah Whitlock, the father by another wife of Mrs. James Stevens (Fanny Whitlock), and of her brother Lewis Whitlock, for may years a keeper of the Norwalk Island lighthouse.


?James Quintard2nd lived in the last house, east, on the north side of the present Marshall Street in South Norwalk. He there kept an "Inn" which bordered the old "Quintard Dock." This dock in the days of the Vanderbilt-Peck steamboat opposition was the landing place of the Vanderbilt boat. The Peck line moored its boat at the " Day Dock," foot of the present Washington Street. It was because Messrs. Vanderbilt and Drew failed to influence the Norwalk stage coach proprietors to first drive their vehicles to the Quintard pier before proceeding with passengers for the Peck line that Mr. Drew determined to plant a coach line of his own. Horses and car- riages were brought from the city and the Vanderbilt patrons were provided for.


The Quintard Inn was the only public house at

that time in "Old Well." Its sign, which was sus- pended from a bracket over the front door, enjoined :


Since man to man is so unjust. You cannot tell what man to trust. I've trusted many to my sorrow. So pay to-day and trust to-morrow.


There was a broad open space in Mr. Quintard's day on the south side of Marshall Street. Absalom Day built a pottery not far from the east end of said street, and just south of the present Consolidated tracks. James Quintard3rd son of James2ml, resided where now stands the residence of E. A. Woodward, and his dwelling was one of the fine modelled homes of that day. Opposite this house (Pardee residence of 1896) lived the father of the late Goold Benedict, for so many years the faithful South Norwalk station agent of the Consolidated road. James Quintard3rd was engaged in the pottery business on the site of the 1896 Hatch, Bailey & Co. establishment, having Henry Chichester1st as a partner.
