THE EARLY HISTORY OF TOLLAND.
Jacob Benton was a revolutionary soldier. At the age of only seventeen he was a dragoon in the army that captured Burgoyne, and saw the forces of that officer march off as prisoners. He died in 1843, at the age of eighty-three.
AZARIAH, eldest son of Jacob and Sarah Benton, and now deceased, was a deacon of the Congregational church, and the father of Rev. William A. Benton, missionary to Syria ; also of Azariah L. Benton, a resident of Tolland.
DANIEL, son of Jacob Benton, and his children, are also residents of this town.
Samuel Benton, Jr., was one of the grantees in the first deed of Tolland, and probably was the son or grandson of Samuel Benton, Sen., first above-mentioned. He married Jane Bradley, December 22, 1743. Their children were :

In the year 1816, a disease, called by physicians " conges- tive pneumonia," made its appearance in Tolland, and in six weeks time occasioned the death of sixteen persons, all of them adults. Only one man recovered who was taken with it. In the family of Ozias Benton the deaths were as follows :

ALVIN BENTON, son of Ozias and Jane, married Ruth, daugh- ter of S. R. Kingsbury, and great granddaughter of Rev. Stephen Steel, March 24, 1812.
TIMOTHY BENTON was undoubtedly a relative of the families already described, but the precise relationship I am unable to determine. The first Timothy Benton found upon our rec- ords, married Abigail Scott, of Tolland, June 29, 1738. Their children were :
Abigail,
born November 1, 1740.

Timothy, 66 August 2, 1755.
TIMOTHY, son of Timothy and Abigail Benton, was in the revolutionary service ; and afterwards on the establishment of an artillery company in Tolland, at the first choice of officers, was elected its captain. He possessed an unusually excellent common school education, and was a popular school-master. Capt. Benton resided in the large house near the north-west burying ground, now owned by the heirs of Milton Webster, where he died April 18, 1816, of the "congestive pneumonia," above-mentioned. He married Sarah, daughter of Joseph West, of Tolland, November 9, 1780. Their son, Timothy, lately deceased, was born March 3, 1786 ;- his first wife was Minerva Webster, of Tolland. The sons of Timothy and Minerva Benton were: Milton W. (lately deceased,) born December 16, 1812 ; Charles West, born July 7, 1814.
JOSEPH BENTON, one of the grantees in the first deed, was the first town-clerk of Tolland, and held the office three years, or from 1717 to 1720 ; but he was a poor penman as his records will show. He was a selectman two years, and was otherwise entrusted with public affairs. I can not find any record of his family, nor do I know whether he had one. He was one of the first deacons of the church in Tolland, and in the final settlement of the line between Coventry and Tolland, was located in the former town.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF TOLLAND.
WILLIAM EATON was one of the victims of the campaign of 1762. He was the grandson of William Eaton, one of the first settlers in Tolland. William Eaton the first, was from the town of Windsor. He was one of the petitioners of May, 1718, respecting Coventry lands ; he had lands surveyed to him on the 18th day of May, and 29th of December, 1719, and 28th November, 1720: All these lands were in the south part of the town, and bounded on Skungamug river. He was born December 15, 1665, and married Mary Burnet, January 11, 1693. The following is the record of this family :
Daniel, born December 7, 1693, died July 20, 1716.
Mary, 66 March 23, 1695.
Ebenezer,
November 29, 1697, died June 17, 1716.
William, 66 July -, 1700, one Monday in pease time.
Samuel,
September 11, 1705.
Bethiah,
November 3, 1708.
The first William Eaton was the first selectman ever chosen in Tolland. He was elected in the year 1717, and re-elected the two succeeding years.
William, son of William and Mary Eaton, married a woman whose Christian name was Rachel. Their children were :
Ebenezer, born January 6, 1727, died August 1, 1728.
Juda,
March 10, 1728-9.
Rachel,
November 15, 1730.

Peter, 66 August 19, 1737, died November 25, 1752.
WILLIAM, son of William and Rachel Eaton, married Lydia Cook, November 13, 1754. Their family record is as follows :
Ann, born
November 17, 1755.
Solomon,
December 24, 1757.
William, 66
June 24, 1759, died October 12, 1760.
Epaphras, 66 August 8, 1761.
This William Eaton was one of the men who went in the expedition to the Island of Cuba in 1762. He was taken with the fever that proved fatal to so many of the troops about the time the army was to leave the island. Mr. Eaton was taken to the beach preparatory to embarking, and was left by his attendants who returned to bring some things he needed, but when they came back they found he had expired. They had no time to spare and buried him in the sand where he died.
SOLOMON EATON, son of William and Lydia Eaton, married Elizabeth Delano, daughter of Sylvanus Delano, and grand- daughter of Jonathan Delano, who will receive further notice

under the title of " Town Clerks." They were married June 23, 1777. The following is their family record :
.
Jasper,
born January 26, 1781.
Zerad,
66
November 30, 1783.
Luther,
66 November 24, 1785.
Ralph, 6 January 23, 1788.

Anna,
66 July 3, 1796, married David Johnson, December 18, 1716.
Solomon Eaton was one of the revolutionary veterans of Tolland. He served during nearly the entire war, and was in many engagements. It is to be regretted that the full service of any of those men can not now be ascertained. At Mon- mouth, Mr. Eaton was slightly wounded, and in that battle lie killed a British grenadier in fair single-handed conflict during a charge with bayonets,-a necessity on which, in a conversa- tion with a friend of the writer in his broken old age, his mind seemed to dwell with sadness. Mr. Eaton was in La- fayette's light infantry ;- in September, 1824, when that distinguished individual had just commenced his celebrated tour through this country, Mr. Eaton had the satisfaction of an interview with his former commander. It was at the brick tavern in the east part of Vernon. The friend before referred to witnessed their parting. As they shook hands, Mr. Eaton said : " I wish you a pleasant journey." "God bless you," replied the General. Mr. Eaton was esteemed as the best soldier of the veteran company in which he served his longest term, and enjoyed through life a higher soldierly renown than any other of the rank and file furnished by Tolland. His patriotic feelings during life were very exalted. He wor- shiped his country and its emblems. One of his descendants, Horatio D. Eaton, of Hartford, is now an officer of the Con- necticut volunteers.
Solomon Eaton died in September, 1843, at the age of eighty-five years, being the last survivor but one of the rev- olutionary soldiers in Tolland.
The descendants of William Eaton, who died at Havana, remaining in this town, are those of his son Solomon, viz. : Luther Eaton, Esq., and family, Mrs. Anna Johnson, widow of David Johnson, and family, Mrs. A. M. Hawkins and her children, and Oliver, son of Ralph Eaton, now residing on
86
THE EARLY HISTORY OF TOLLAND.
the original Chapman homestead. Several of the descend- ants of Solomon Eaton reside in Hartford.
Other persons of the name of Eaton were among the first settlers of Tolland ; one of whom, Thomas Eaton, came from Woodstock and settled here in the year 1721. He had two twin sons born on the first day of March, 1739, whom he named Moses and Aaron. Moses died in 1739, and there is no record of the family after that date. Thomas Eaton's wife's name was Elizabeth Parker. They were married December 7, 1721. Their son Aaron was twenty-three years old at the time of the Cuba expedition, and as one Aaron Eaton of Lieut. Wills' company died in that expedition, I think the conclusion reasonable that he was the son of Thomas Eaton of Tolland.
Samuel, the son of William and Mary Eaton, married a wife whose name was Jemima-the surname not given. Their children were :
Jemima, born May 8, 1732.
Bethiah,
January 14, 1733.
Samuel,
September 15, 1734.
Aaron,
March 8, 1737.
Samuel Eaton, Sen., died in 1737. His son, Aaron, might have been the one in the Cuba expedition, but being a rela- tive of the William Eaton who was in that expedition, and as there is no family tradition that William had any relative in the same service, I have supposed the other Aaron Eaton was the one who went to Cuba.
CONSTANT CRANDAL was another of the victims of the Cuba expedition. He came to Tolland probably after the year 1750. There is no record of him or his family other than that he had a son born July 25, 1757, and that he died at Havana, August 27, 1762. Giles Crandal came into town about the same time. He had a son, Samuel, who married Bethiah Eaton, August 12, 1749. Probably she was the daughter of Samuel and Jemima Eaton. They had thirteen children, among whom was one named Samuel, who was born April 13, 1774, who married Roxana Rawdon, November 23, 1792, and they were the parents of the late Jarvis Crandal, who died June 28, 1854, and who is long to be remembered as one of the sweet singers in Israel ; also of Amos Crandal

now of this town. These Crandal families are of course the descendants of William Eaton, the first settler of that name in Tolland.
NOAH STIMPSON or Stimson was another of the young men of Tolland who died on the Island of Cuba. He was the grandson of Doct. James Stimson, who was the first physician located in Tolland. James Stimson, before 1716, resided in Lynn, Essex county, Massachusetts. He married Hannah Stearns, a sister of Shubael Stearns and John Stearns, two of the first settlers in Tolland, at Lynn, March 21, 1710. He must have removed to Tolland before March 22, 1716, for his daughter Hannah is recorded as born in Tolland on that day. He was one of the twenty-five inhabitants of Tol- land who signed the petition of May, 1718, to the General Assembly, respecting the Coventry lands. He had allotments of land made to him on the 21st of June, 1720, and received a deed of land from Samuel Benton, Jr., dated December 4, 1721. The residence of Doct. Stimpson was near the spot now occupied by Mr. George Morgan. He died March 10, 1758-one hundred and three years ago ; therefore I can ob- tain no information relative to his repute in his profession ; only the records abundantly show that he was in the medical practice.
JAMES STIMSON'S eldest son, Ichabod, was born in Lynn, Mass., January 22, 1713, and married Margaret Pack, daugh- ter of Joseph Pack, another of the first settlers of the town, February 28, 1740. Their first son, Stephen, was born No- vember 5, 1740 ; married Keziah, daughter of John Paulk, November 26, 1767. Their first daughter, Jane, was born March 27, 1772. She married Joshua Luce of Tolland, and they were the parents of Leverett Luce, lately of this town, and owner of what was called Luce's mills.
The following is the record of Doct. James Stimson's fam- ily :

Thomas Stimson died January 24, 1796, aged seventy-one.
JOSHUA, youngest child of Thomas Stimson, was the father of Mrs. Sarah Northrop, at present a resident of Tolland, and a descendant of two of the first settlers, to wit: Doct. James Stimson and Joseph Pack.
Among the names of those who went from Tolland to Cuba in 1762, is that of JOHN BARNARD, who never returned. He was the son of Doct. Thomas Barnard, the second physician that ever located in this town. Doct. Barnard was from Had- ley, Mass., and took a deed from James Lassell, dated April 12, 1734, describing a tract of land lying on both sides of the Skungamug river, a little south of Cook's bridge. This was doubtless the farm now owned and occupied by Doct. Jedu- than C. Eaton, which farm it is known he occupied for some time. Probably Dr. Barnard came to Tolland at about the date of Lassell's deed. He had four sons whose names were, · Moses, born Feb. 16, 1729 ; John, born Aug. 6, 1731 ; Sam- uel, born May 13, 1737; and Aaron, born Sept. 30, 1746. He died in 1780, aged seventy-three years. Some of the aged people, with whom I formerly had conversation respecting the early history of the town, recollected Dr. Barnard as a very respectable gentleman, and a good doctor. He did not, how- ever, make any very prominent mark, nor do the records show that he was actively engaged in any public business. Moses, his eldest son, married Ann Loomis, daughter of Solomon

Loomis, May 22, 1750. The following is the record of this family.

Esther,
November 20, 1752, died December 12, 1773.

February 20, 1771.
Solomon,
November 30, 1772, died February 10, 1773.
Ann, the wife of Thomas Barnard, died Jan. 12, 1774.
It will be seen that there were five deaths in this family between Dec. 12, 1773 and Feb. 25, 1774, a period of only seventy-one days-a mother and four children. Moses Barn- ard, the father, died at New Rochelle, N. Y., in the service of his country, Oct. 15, 1776, aged forty-six years.
I have no knowledge that any of the descendants of Doct. Barnard are now in Tolland ; but as two of their number, while belonging in town, lost their lives in the service of their country, the family ought ever to have a place in the town's history.
The Hatch family also lost a member in the expedition to Cuba. Judah Hatch, of Tolland, died at Havana in 1762. He was the son of Ichabod Hatch, who came from Falmouth, Barnstable Co., Mass., in the year 1726, and whose wife's name was Abigail Works. Their children were:
Zerviah,
born October 5, 1715.

Daniel,

Ruth,
66 August 15, 1729.
Ichabod, 66 October 28, 1732 ..
The name of Hatch is associated intimately with the settle- ment of the town. Joseph Hatch was one of the grantees in the first deed from the Windsor committee, and is one of the peti- tioners respecting the Coventry lands in 1718. He probably - lived in Windsor before 1713, but there is reason to believe he removed to Tolland in that year, and was one of the first two, if not the very first, permanent settler in the town of Tolland. A record of his family was made May 26, 1722, in Tolland, commencing in these words :
"Joseph Hatch, a record of his children's births and deaths

Amy Hatch, daughter of Joseph Hatch, was born October 10, 1713.
Joseph Hatch, the son of Joseph Hatch, was born on September 12, 1715."

This Joseph Hatch was two years a selectman, and was the first tavern-keeper in Tolland, being chosen a tavern-keeper at a town meeting Jan. 6th, 1718. He was the first military officer in Tolland, having been commissioned a lieutenant in Oct., 1722, and captain in May, 1725. He was the owner of the land in the south part of Tolland, now in the ownership of Frank Hatch, his great grandson; which has always been in the possession of the family since the first settlement of the town, a period of one hundred and forty-eight years.
Joseph, son of the above Joseph Hatch, married Mary Clark, of Lebanon, March 10, 1741. He died February 23, 1773, aged fifty-eight years. His children were :
