* Tho following biographical notices of the members of this family are extracted from a pri- vately printed pamphlet, entitled A Sermon preached at the Funeral of Martin Rockwell of Cole- brook: (Cl.), Dec. 11, 1851, by the Rev. Joseph Eldridge. It is proper to state that we have re- ceived tho samo biographical material in tho original MSS. from the mother of GEO. R. GAYLORD of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. We acknowledge our indebtedness to the above pamphlet for a very correct outline genealogy of the R. family, without dates. It also contains a similar outline gene- alogy of the Colebrook Rockwells.
SAMUEL ROCKWELL. of the fifth generation from Deacon WILLIAM ROCKWELL, was born in Jan- uary, 1759, at Fast Windsor. He was about seventeen years old at the time of his father's death. Hle was married, at the nye of twenty eight to Hepzibah Pratt of East Hartford. Ile inherited a small farm of about thirty acres in East Windsor, on which he lived until 1767, when his fam- ily having been increased to four sons, he began to apprehend his place would soon be too straight for him ; and being the owner of a hundred acres of wild land in Colebrook, he removed there, with his family, in February, 1767. He was the fifth settler in the town. IIe erected for his dwelling. the building which now constitutes the back or kitchen part of the present resi- dence of the family of the Jate REUBEN ROCKWELL. It was then two miles distant from the other Feltlers. The frame had been raised before his family arrived. They were accommodated hy their friends, who came into the wilderness the year before, for two or three days, until boards could be brought from the saw mill and the house made tenantable. This house, of one story, with a stone chimney, and a ball room under the roof, was for many years the house of enter- tainment, and place for all town and religions meetings of the infant settlement. Here. amid the toils and privations of a new and rough country, he reared his family of six sons in habits of industry. enterprise and rectitude. He retained, in a lugh degree, the virtues of his Puritan ancestors. He was reared under the ministry of the Rev. Timothy Edwards-had frequently heard the preaching of Whitfield and the chler President. Edwards,-was a professor of religion, punctual in family duties, and to a good degree, faithful in the religious instruction of his child- ren. Hle commanded the military company of the town through most of the war of the Revo- Jution,-served as an officer in the army on a short tour of duty, and was a firm and decided friend of the liberties of his country. Ile was one of the fathers of the town-was much em- ployed in managing its concerns, and was ever zealous to promote its welfare and respectability. He had a remarkable faculty of stimulating and directing men in accomplishing objects, re- quiring united effort .. Feeling a constitutional ardor on such occasions, he could impart to others his own spirit. Possessed of a vigorous constitution, few men had more physical strength, when in the prime of his manhood. The sickness which terminated his life, was a highly malignant fever of about ten days' duration. Ilis extreme grief at the death of his favorite son Timothy, which occurred a few days before his sickness, probably increased the malignaney of his disorder. He died on the 24th day of September, 1794, in his 66th year.
