Capt. PELETIAH,1 m. Martha Chapman of Colchester, July 5, 1720. Child- ren-Martha, b. March 11, 1721 ; Peletiah,4 b. Jan. 19, 1723; m. Hannah Owen, March 29, 1743 ; d. July 1, 1786 : his wife d.

PETER, Jr.,2 m. Ruth Loomis, Feb. 1, 1726; had Stone, b. May 17, 1730. DANIEL,3 m. Jerusha Steele of Hartford, Feb. 12, 1729. Children-Daniel,
* Abiel Brown's Gen. Sketches of Canton (p. 92-98), presents a genealogy of the descendants of this Simon Mills. Ile states this marriage as 1649.
t From above work. SIMON (s. of Simon), on W. Rec., was b. Jan. 1, 1661-2.
# Windsor Rec. also give marriage of Peter to Jane Warrin of Hartford, Dec. 10, 1691; whether this Was a 2d wife of Peter, sen., or a first wife of Peter, jr., does not appear. The above work gives quite a history of this family and descendants (p. 99-104), but there is an error some- where. According to our reading of W. Records, the families should be arranged as above ; but in Brown's account the sons of Peter, jr., are all given to l'eter, sen. ; the date of death of " Peter," sen., in 1710 (from W. Rec.), would seem to decide in favor of our arrangement.

* He was in the revolutionary army, and served as Quarter Master in Col. Eno's regiment, and among the many other places of trust which he filled during his life, were those of collector and coostable in the days of the colony. Ilis staff or baton of the last named office, with the name of King George III and the arms of England stamped upon the broad gilded band that encircled it, is now in the possession of Mrs. Fanny L. Bissell of Windsor. The following anec- dote of Elisha Moore's courage and calmness has been preserved, and is undoubtedly anthentic : A party of British officers were stationed in Windsor, and on an occasion of some conviviality at one of the inns, they became exceedingly insolent and overbearing, and to crown all, having marked a circle upon the floor, they declared that whoever dared to cross the line should be a dead man; their abusive conduct at length advanced to such a pass, that the constable was sum- moned, and when he arrived, the threat of instant death to the man that entered the circle, was, with oaths, repeated. Mr. Moore without delay stepped over the line, and in the name and anthority of the king made them prisoners ; a deep gash in his three-cornered hat witnessed to the peril he had encountered.

MUNSELL.
MUNSELL.
The first immigrants of this name located in the eastern part of Connecticut, but the time of their coming from England is not well settled. They soon separated, and no communication having been kept up between them, their personal history is only to be gathered from town records and tombstones. Early in the last century Jacob Monsell, one of their descend- ants, came to East Windsor, and is the progenitor of the families which have ever since been known in the towns and parishes embraced in Ancient Wind- sor, and his posterity is now widely scattered over the United States. The orthography of the name is various upon the records and monuments, but is now written Munsell by all the families in America. Notwithstanding the diversity of orthography in England, the family history as well as the escutcheons of the different branches, show that they are all of one lineage, originating in Sir Philip de Mannsell, who came from Normandy, one of the companions of William the Conqueror, and on whom was bestowed the manor of Oxwiche in Glamorgan- shire. His grandson, Sir John Maunsell, was constituted lord chief justice of England in the time of Henry III; his eldest son, Sir Thomas, knight banneret, fell in the Barons' wars, at Northampton, in the 48th Henry III, and was succeeded by his son Henry, who was the ancestor of the extinct Lords Man- sel, and baronets of Margram. This family omitted the u in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and in 1711, dropped the second 7. A branch of the family emigrated from the neighborhood of Frome in England, and settled in Ire- land early in the reign of Charles I, and is now known as Monsell of Tervoe. The name is written Maunsell ; Mansell, Monsell, Monsall, Munsell ; Mansel, Moncil, Munsel, Muncil. Descendants of other branches than this of Windsor are frequently met with. We give the device of one of the English families, by way of illustration, which will probably be a novelty to the descendants here ; and the technical description below exhibits all the differ - ence that exists in the arms of the branches, as far as we have been able to discover.
Arms .- Arg., a chevron between three mannches, sable.
Crests .- 1st. On a chapeau, gu., turned up erm., a falcon rising, ppr. 2d. A cap of maintenance, enflamed at the top, ppr.
Mottoes .- Quod vult valde vult ; and, Honorantes me honorabo.

* At the time of the Revolution, Jacob Munsell was in the prime of life, and a thrifty farmer, residing in East Windsor. The requisitione of the army called into use every team that could be procured, aud very high prices were paid for that service, especially after the communication with Boston harbor was interrupted by the British fleet. He therefore fre- quently undertook the transportation of provisions to the army lying in the neighborhood of Boston. On one occasion, while thus employed, having arrived within a few miles of the camp at Cambridge, with a heavy load drawn by an ox team, in a part of the road which was particularly rough, and whore the traveled path was narrow, he met two carriages, In cach of which was an American general officer. The officer in the forward carriage, when near to Munsell, put his head out at the window, and called to him in an authoritative tone, "Damn you, get out of the path." Munsell immediately retorted, " Damn you, I wont get out of the path ; get out yourself." After some vain attempts to prevail ou him to turn ont. the officer's carriage turned out, and Munsell kept the path. The other carriage immediately came up, having been within hearing distance of what had passed ; and the officer within it put his head out at the window, and said to Munsell, " My friend, the road is bad, and it is difficult for me to turn out; will you be so good as to turn out, and let me pass." "With all my heart, sir," said Munsell, " but I wont be damned out of the path by any man." This last officer was Gen. Washington. The writer of this anecdote, having heard the affair related at the time, enquired of Munsell soon after the close of the war, as to the truth of it, and was told that it was exactly true .- Conn. Courant.
