SCRIBNER NOTES.

The Andrews family from which Mrs. Benjamin Scribner1st sprang was the old Hart- ford and Fairfield Francis and Anna (Smith) Andrews household. In his will, executed June 6, 1662, of which instrument he appointed Dr. Thomas Pell "overseer," Mr. Andrews men- tions his daughter Hannah (Mrs. John Crampton), and remembers his "granddaughter Hannah Crampton " (Mrs. Benjamin Scribner1st).

Five of the Norwalk Scribners, viz: Hezekiah, born 1759, Elias, Thaddeus, John, Thomas born 1760, settled in 1783 in New Brunswick.

The mother of Rev. Matthew Scribner (Mrs. Matthew Scribner1st), lived to a good age, and died March 11, 1813. Her son Enoch overlived her between three and four years and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Enoch Scribner (Betty Benedict), lived until April 19, 1835.

Benjamin1st and Hannah Scribner cradled their children on the exact spot where now stands the old Joseph Scribner Saugatuck home, a little to the eastward of "Boston Bridge" and "Indian Brook," and not remote from "Indian Field." The elevation is gentle and its southeast slope towards the present Saugatuck is beautiful. On September 21, 1741, Benja- min Scribner, the ancestor, deeded the hearthstone to his son Matthew ScribnerIst,

The children of Mary (Mrs. Lewis Benedict), daughter of Enoch and Betty Scribner, were William, Lewis, Elizabeth, Isaac, George, Sarah and Abby Jane.

Their son Walter was a soldier in the Spanish-Cuban war. Mrs. Sarah Cundall deceased and her husband married, second, her sister Louisa. The children by the second marriage are William and Jessie.

A Norwalk John Scribner and Mary Fitch union recalls a diversified family record. Mary Fitch (Mrs. John Scribner of New York) was one of the two children of Clark Marvin and l'olly (Gibbs) Fitch. Mrs. Scribner's brother, David Haynes Fitch, dead, but Norwalk- unforgotten, married Sarah Sterling of Brooklyn and built a pleasant home in East Norwalk where, just as that now growing section was starting upon its career of promise, he dwelt for a few years. His children were Estelle (Mrs. Nathaniel Lovell), Lincoln Haynes and David Porter. Clark Marvin Fitch was the son of James Fitch211 by his second wife. James Fitch ?! son of James1-t and Mary (Buckingham) Fitch (see page 210), married, first, Ann Hanford. Mrs. Ann Fitch died and her husband married, second, Esther Marvin and had Clark Marvin who married Polly, daughter of Captain Samuel Gibbs. James2ª and Ann (Hanford) Fitch, son of James1* and Mary (Buckingham) Fitch (see page 211), had a daughter Susannah, born December 24, 1756, who married Deacon John Chapman. Mrs. Chapman's sister was Nancy Fitch (Mrs. William Benedict), the grandmother of Mrs. Le Grand Lockwood. (See pages 212 and 213).

Annah H., daughter of Deacon John and Susannah (Fitch) Chapman, married Novem- ber 25, 1815, Asael Dudley, the father of John Chapman and James Fitch Dudley. These broth- ers had two sisters, viz., Susan, born June 25, 1817, and Mary Ann, born November 13, 1819. Susan, married, September 3. 1845, Charles Greene of Providence, R. I., and Mary Ann, married November 12, 1846, Charles, son of William and Eunice (Barnum) Greene. Mrs. Eunice Greene was a sister of Star Barnum of Bethel, whose son, Rev. Dr. Henry S. Barnum, married Helen, daughter of George H., and Caroline (Lounsbury) Randle.

Mrs. Rev. Dr. Henry S. Barnum is a niece of Henry, Lewis and Joseph Randle of Norwalk. Her mother was a daughter of John D. and Sally (Crane) Lounsbury (see page 370).

SMITH.

With the exception of Joseph, Thomas and Richard Smith, the Samuel (Smith's Ridge) and what may be termed the Hadley Smith lines, appear to be Norwalk oldest men- tion of the family name. The exact manner in which the referred-to Joseph, Thomas, Richard and Samuel Smith were Long Island related it is difficult to determine, but the Hadley, Mass., lineage is distinctly traced.

Samuel and Elizabeth Smith sailed from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, in April, 1634, with four children aged respectively nine, seven, four and one years, the parents being somewhat above thirty years old. They came first to Watertown, Mass., removed thence to Wethersfield, and thence to Hadley in 1659-60. Mrs. Smith died March 16, 1685, and Mr. Smith during the same year. Their children were Samuel2nd, Elizabeth, Mary, Philip, John, and Chiliab or Kiliab.

Kiliab (see page 363), born about 1635, lived to reach his ninety-sixth year. He mar- ried, in 1661, Hannah, daughter of Luke Hitchcock of Wethersfield, which Hannah was held "in wide repute as a singer," and benefactor. The children of Kiliab and Hannah Smith were Hannah, born July 7, 1662 (Mrs. John Montague) ; Samuel, born March 9, 1664; Luke, born April 16, 1666; Ebenezer1st, born July 11, 1668; and Nathaniel, born January 2, 1670, who died young. Samuel married Sarah Bliss, Luke, Mary Crow, and Ebenezer1st, October, 1691, Abigail, daughter of John and Abigail (Marvin) Bouton (see page 349).

The children of Ebenezer1st and Abigail Smith were Abigail, born October 10, 1692 (Mrs. Joseph Kellogg2nd); Martha, born November 10, 1694 (Mrs. Reed); Ebenezer2md, born March 20, 1697; John, born May 1, 1699, lived in Hadley; Nathan, born August 14, 1701, lived in Norwalk; Eliakim1st, born January 23, 1704; Eunice, born June 9, 1706 (Mrs. Nathan Olmstead2nd); Joseph, born September 18, 1708; Ephraim1st, born January 27, 1711 ; Dinah, born July 8, 1715 (Mrs. Benajah Hoyt).
