Elisha Yeomans has this record. Abigail, born February 20, 1735 ; Elijah, January 17, 1738 ; Oliver, November 10, 1740; Eunice, July 9, 1746. Elijah Yeomans died March 4,1750.
Elijah Yeomans, Jr., married Amy Delano, June 17, 1762. Their children were, Abigail, born May 6, 1763 ; Elisha, November 9, 1764.
Elisha Yeomans married Joanna Baker, June 8, 1769. Their children were: Molly, born March 24, 1770 ; Anna, August 25, 1772 ; Elisha, January 27, 1775 ; Sarah, October 7,1777.
John Yeomans, Jr., was doubtless originally from Ston- ington. It does not appear whether those of Tolland bear- ing the name were his relatives, or whether they came from the same place. But it does appear that the name was in Tolland as early as 1720, and continued in the town until 1777, a period of fifty-seven years, after which the name of Yeomans disappears from our records.
EZRA WALDO was another of the persons who was sacrificed at Havana in 1762. He was doubtless the son of Bethuel Waldo, who moved from Windham to Tolland about the year 1750. Bethuel Waldo was a son of Edward Waldo, who was a son of John Waldo, and grandson of Dea. Cornelius Waldo, who settled in Ipswich, Mass., about the year 1650. John Waldo, son of Cornelius, settled in Windham, Conn., in the year 1698. The records in Tolland do not show the time when, nor the person to whom, Bethuel was married. It commences with a notice of the birth of his son Bethuel, his fourth child, who was born in Tolland, May 23, 1751. Be- thuel Waldo, Sen., married Lois Munsell, and had a son Ezra, who was born March 23, 1746. Ezra Waldo was of course but sixteen years old when he enlisted in the expedition in which he died, and was then an inhabitant.of Tolland. I can find no other of the name who could have been in that expe-

dition. Bethuel Waldo, Sen., had a son named Henry, born January 10, 1762, who was the father of Lemuel Waldo, now a resident of Tolland, and of Mrs. Frances West, of Coventry. There is a tradition in the family of Henry Waldo, that an elder brother of his perished in the revolutionary army. Bethuel Waldo had an elder brother, named Edward, who was the great grandfather of the writer.
LEONARD GROVER came to Tolland from Coventry in 1756, having a deed of a farm in the north part of Tolland, dated April 23, of that year. He had a daughter born in Tolland, October 9, 1758, and lost two children, one of whom died in 1760 ; the other May 6, 1762 ;- after which last date there is no record of him or his family. His name appears on the roll of the company under Lieut. Wills that went to Cuba, with the return that he there died. I am unable to find any fur- ther traces of his family.
JONATHAN BURRES or Burroughs was also a victim in the expedition to Cuba in 1762. He came into Tolland about the year 1748 ; and has a record of the births of six children, to which it is added that he died at Havana, September 7, 1762.
I have stated that JOHN LATHROP was slain by the enemy in the war of the revolution. He was the grandson of John Lathrop, who moved into Tolland about the year 1726, from Falmouth, in Barnstable county, Mass., and who took a deed of a tract of land containing a hundred and twenty acres, bounded east on Willimantic river, which deed is dated June 4, 1726 ; and in which deed he is described as " now resident in Tolland."
HOPE LATHROP, who is reputed to have been the brother of John Lathrop, took a deed bearing date 1726, of Daniel Eaton, of a tract of land in Tolland, containing by estimation one hundred and fifty acres, and is also described as bounding east on the Willimantic. In this deed, Hope Lathrop is described as being of "Falmouth in the county of Barnstable, in his majesty's province of Massachusetts Bay."
There is no record of the marriage of John Lathrop, but I find a record of the births of his children. This is as follows :
David, born October 18, 1723, died October 4, 1787. Hannah, July 5, 1725.

Rowland Lathrop possessed more than ordinary abilities. When young, he passed for what in those days was called a wild young man, but his wildness ended with youth and he early became a very steady man and a most exemplary Chris- tian. He was a member of the Methodist denomination and was a local preacher. His public performances were credita- ble for fervency, candor and sincerity. He had a good knowl- edge of human nature, and had a shrewdness peculiar to him- self in his remarks upon almost every topic. Mr. Lathrop was proverbial for integrity and uprightness in all his deal- ings, and constant and true in his friendships. He was highly esteemed by his acquaintance, and never seemed to be more happy than when doing them some good. He was twice elected to the General Assembly, but never appeared to be over-anxious for political preferment. The influence of his example was most salutary, and a recollection of his guileless- ness and simplicity will cause his memory to be long respected. He died September 14, 1844, aged seventy-one years.

Amos Cobb, the son of Doct. Samuel Cobb, was killed at the battle of White Plains, Oct. 28, 1776.
Samuel Cobb was born in Wales, in Great Britain, in the year 1716. I am unable to say when he came to this country, and where he was educated. On his tombstone he is described as having been a gentleman of public education, but his alma mater is not mentioned. He came to Tolland probably about the year 1743, and took a deed from Robert Parker, of Wil- lington, of a hundred and twenty-five acres of land, in this town, dated Dec. 19, 1744, in which he is described as being of Tolland. He married Mary Hinckley, August 25, 1743, by whom he had two children, Sarah, born July 7, 1744, who married John Slate; and Samuel, Jr., born Aug. 2, 1746.
Doct. Cobb married for second wife, Hannah Bicknell, of Ashford, April 11, 1749. Their children were:

The descendants of Doct. Cobb, now in Tolland, are: Mr. Levi Edgerton ; the children and grandchildren of the late Reuben Edgerton ; Mrs. B. L. Young and her children ; the children of the late Reuben Chapman ; Elijah S. Chapman and his children, all being the descendants of Mary Cobb : Luther Cobb ; Mrs. Edmund Joslyn ; and Mrs. Dwight Edger- ton, the descendants of Daniel Cobb : Mrs. Doctor Ladd; her children and grandchildren; the descendants of William Cobb : and the descendants of Mr. Ephraim West, deceased, who married Ruth Cobb. The descendants of Doct. Cobb are also numerous elsewhere.
Doct. Cobb was one of the most prominent citizens that ever resided in Tolland. He is reported as having stood high in his profession, and as having enjoyed the entire confidence of the community. He was honored by the town and the public with several important and responsible offices. He was eight times elected a member of the General Assembly, and like- wise attended two extra sessions. He was thirteen years a justice of the peace when there were but two justices in town ; and most of the time was the acting magistrate. In this sphere of duty he gave very general satisfaction, and his min- istrations were regarded as equitable, discreet, and promotive of the public tranquillity. His moral influence in society was very effective in restraining vice and dishonesty, and he did much to encourage sobriety and virtue. While living he was

greatly respected, and his memory will long remain as the conscientious, upright citizen, and honest man. He died on the 6th day of April, 1781, aged sixty-five years.
As a branch of the Cobb family, now in Tolland, we can not lose sight of the descendants of Mary Cobb, who became the wife of Capt. Daniel Edgerton. Daniel Edgerton probably moved into Tolland in the spring of the year 1770. On the 20th day of March, of that year, he took a deed of Daniel and John Lathrop, of Norwich, of a part of the farm he afterwards owned in Tolland, and in which deed lie is described as being of Norwich. He first married Saralı, daughter of Dea. Icha- bod Griggs, Dec. 19, 1771; the record of which describes him as being of Tolland. Their children were :
Sarah, born January 8, 1773.
Phebe,

Mrs. Sarah Edgerton died June 23, 1777. Capt. Edgerton married for his second wife, Mary, daughter of Doct. Samuel Cobb, and widow of Reuben Chapman, Nov. 27, 1777. Their children were : .

Capt. Daniel Edgerton died January 10, 1825. He was very highly respected, and was a very active and useful man. Besides his military rank, he was fourteen years selectman, a large part of which time he was the first selectman and principal manager of the affairs of the town ; one year a jus- tice of the peace, (which he probably declined holding longer,) and was chosen a representative to the General Assembly twenty-three times. In stature he was quite six feet high, stout built and well proportioned. In demeanor he resem- bled a gentleman of the old school,-always dignified, affa- ble, respectful, courteous. He deserved and received the gen- eral good will of his entire acquaintance, and discharged all the duties of life conscientiously and satisfactorily, and has left a very honorable and well deserved reputation.
Daniel Edgerton, Jr., married Sarah, daughter of Zebulon Lathrop, May 7, 1801. Their children were :

Capt. Daniel Edgerton, the founder of the above family, had a half brother named Hezekiah, who came from Nor- wich to Tolland about the year 1770. He was the progeni- tor of the Edgertons in Coventry, and their descendants. His widow, Freelove, died in Tolland in 1801.
BURYING- GROUNDS.
The first record of any burial in Tolland was made in the year 1735, and is in these words :
" Ebenezer Eaton, a son of William Eaton, died in June the 27th day one thousand seven hundred and sixteen, (1716,) in the nineteenth year of his age, and was the first that was laid in the burying-place of the above said Tolland."
" Daniel Eaton, the son of William Eaton, died July the twentieth day, in the year one thousand seven hundred and sixteen, (July 20, 1716,) in the twenty-third year of his age, and was the second in the burying-place in the above said Tolland."
These young men were the sons of William Eaton, the first of that name in Tolland, of whom I have already spoken. It would seem that the inhabitants of Tolland, by a kind of common consent, set apart a portion of land where these young men were buried, and now included in the south bury-

ing-ground, as a public or common place of burial. Whether this was the only spot then used for that purpose, does not distinctly appear, nor does it appear that there was any ac- tion of the town or proprietors of the land upon this subject before 1720. At a town meeting held and recorded under date of August 3, 1720, the following vote was passed :
"At a town meeting in Tolland adjourned to the 8th day of the same month it was voted : that there shall be a bury- ing-place where they did formerly bury in, about two acres."
This vote constituted the whole action of the town at that time, and was deemed a sufficient appropriation and conse- cration of the ground for the purpose of burying the dead. This ground was then common land, and it was permitted to remain in common without being fenced, for about fourteen years. On the 11th day of December, 1734, the town passed the following vote :.
" It is further agreed and voted at said meeting to fence the Burying-place in Tolland with a decent five rail fence ; that is to say-post and rail fence in some convenient time in the year ensuing : Also voted to choose a committee to com- plete the fencing of the burying-place as aforesaid,-Sergt. Ephraim Grant, Ichabod Hatch are chosen a committee for to do or see said work well done."
In order to have the foregoing vote carried into effect, it became necessary to locate this ground ; accordingly a sur- vey was then made by Jonathan Delano, a selectman, and Zebulon West, surveyor, as follows :
" Whereas it was voted by the town of Tolland at a meet- ing on the 8th of August, 1720, that there should be a bury- ing-place where some dead had before been buried, viz. : about two acres of land, and there being no survey of the same to be found on record : We the subscribers have this first day of March A. D. 1735, surveyed, measured and laid out for the town, two acres of land a little southward of Scungamug pond, containing within the same all the graves that are thereabout ; bounding the same as followeth : Be- ginning at a white oak tree, marked, for the south-east cor- ner-standing in the west line of Doctor James Stimson's land ; from thence run with six degrees to the west, twenty- two rods and a half to a stake and heap of stones ;- from thence run west twelve degrees to the south, fifteen rods to

a stake and heap of stones ;- thence run south, six degrees to the east twenty-two rods and a half to a stake, and heap of stones ;- thence a straight line fifteen rods to the first mentioned white oak tree ;- abutting east on said Doctor James Stimson, and west on Daniel Benton; south on the heirs of Barnabas Hinsdale. The above written recorded March 30, 1735." Signed by Jonathan Delano, selectman, Zebulon West, surveyor.
On the same day Daniel Benton gave a path one rod wide across his land to this burying-place.
On the 16th day of March, 1761, the town passed the fol- lowing vote :
" Voted to procure two pieces of land of about one acre in each in the northward part of the town for burying-places. Also voted that Timothy Benton, Capt. Isaac Hubbard and Mr. Stephen Steel be a committee to procure such pieces of land by their discretion."
On the fifth day of January, 1762, Timothy Benton gave the town of Tolland a deed of one acre of land for a bury- ing-ground, to be used for that purpose, for the consideration of five pounds, lawful money. This is the burying-ground in the north-west part of the town. Jonathan Ladd, son of Jonathan Ladd, Jr., and Anna his wife, died August 25, 1762, aged two months and ten days, and was the first person laid in this burying-ground. The child was a brother of Eliab Ladd, father of Ariel Ladd, Esq., now of Tolland.
On the seventh of February, 1762, Nathan Flynt, for the consideration of five pounds lawful money, gave the town of Tolland a deed of one acre of land for a burying-ground, which is now the ground in Scungamug village.
With the exception of the north-west, which has been kept in repair by those who felt an interest in its appearance, the town has taken charge of these burying-grounds, has appoint- ed persons to take care of them, (called sextons,) and has done most that has been done to make them even respectable. On the ninth day of April, 1859, the town voted to purchase land to enlarge the south burying-ground, and grade and drain the one at Scungamug. On the thirteenth of April, 1859, the town procured a deed of land lying between the south burying-ground and the highway, which was graded and pre-

pared at the expense of the town, and the town also drained and graded the ground at Scungamug, and erected a substan- tial stone fence on the side next the road, during the same year.
POST-OFFICE.
BEFORE the year 1795 or 1796, there was no post-office in Tolland. In one of those years an office was established in this town, and Deacon Benoni Shepard was appointed post- master. Dea. Shepard kept a tavern in the house where Mr. Charles R. Hicks now resides, and kept the office in his house. At that time there was but one mail a week between Hartford and Boston, and that was sometimes carried on horseback, sometimes in a one horse sulkey. No stage coaches passed through Tolland until the year 1807, when a line of stages was established from Hartford to Boston, passing through this town. Within fifteen years after its first establishment, the mail route through Tolland became a great thoroughfare ; there was a daily mail both ways, which was carried through Tolland in four horse post-coaches. The route for the mail from New York city to the Eastern States, was through this town, until the western railroad was completed to Springfield, after which the mail was placed upon that route. There was also a tri-weekly mail from Springfield to Norwich, through Tolland, from 1828 to 1851, carried in post-coaches, when it was placed upon the railroad by the way of Palmer. These principal mail routes have been turned from Tolland in con- sequence of the building of the railroads, so that while other places have been benefited by those improvements, this town has been a sufferer. In place of the mail accommodations with which the town used to be favored, it is now supplied specially with a daily mail from Hartford,-Tolland being the end of the route.
BENONI SHEPARD, the first postmaster, was probably a son of Jonathan Shepard, whose deed of land in Tolland, dated
104
THE EARLY HISTORY OF TOLLAND.
April 8, 1763, describes him as belonging in Coventry. Be- noni Shepard married Desire West, a daughter of Zebulon West, Esq., June 16, 1774, at which date he is described of Tolland. In another record he is found to be of Tolland, May 25, 1772. His first wife, Desire, died July 20, 1778, leaving one child, whose name was Pamela, born January 23, 1777. Mr. Shepard married for his second wife, Anna Al- vord, of Bolton, daughter of Saul Alvord, Sen., February 15, 1781. By her he had the following children :
Benoni, born January 4, 1782, died August 26, 1799.
