In 1888 he was a United States pen- sioner under the first pension law allowing pensions to disabled veterans who had served nine months or more in the revolution. His application for a pension is still to be seen in the files of the county clerk's office, Hartford. In 1840, according to the federal census of revolutionary pensioners, he was still living at Manchester, Connecticut. He married and among his children was John Carpenter, men- tioned below.

For some years he was clerk in a crockery store in Boston. Then he became associated with his father as a general contractor. They had contracts with the city of Boston for filling a large section of the marshes known as the South Back Bay, now entirely filled, and the finest residential and business section of Boston, almost entirely built up. The large real estate interests of his father required all his attention in later years. They included the Evans House on Tremont street, Boston : Washington Market on Wash- ington street, Boston. During a long and active life he was a prominent figure in the real estate world. He resided on South street, Jamaica Plain. and was one of the best known citizens in that section of Boston.

(The Seaver Line).

According to tradition the earliest member of the Seaver family came in Cromwell's army into Ireland. He settled in the Townland of

Trea, near Armagh, which he led under the Primate of that See, and his name was Charles Seaver. The coat-of-arms borne by the branch of the family in Ireland is the only one known, and is as follows: Argent a chevron gules between three doves pecking sheaves of wheat, proper. Crest: A hand and arm, holding a sword erect, encircled by a laurel wreath, all proper. Motto: Sume superbiam quaesitam meritis.

LATHROP The surname Lathrop or Lothrop is derived from the parish Lowthorpe. Thorpe means village, so the meaning of the word literally is a low village. Lowthorpe is a small parish in the wapentake of Dickering, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, having only about a hundred and fifty inhabitants. Walter de Lowthorpe was elected high sheriff of York- shire in 1216 and the name has been common in Yorkshire from that time. Robert and Richard Lowthorp lived at Whepsted, Thingoe Hundred, Suffolk, in 1287. A prominent family of Lathropps lived in Staffordshire before 1560. Arms: Sable, an eagle dis- played argent. Crest : A Cornish chough proper.

(I) John Lathrop or Lowthroppe, as the name was then spelled, is the first of this ancient family in England to whom the Amer- ican line can be definitely traced. Early in the sixteenth century he was living in Cherry Bur- ton, a parish about four miles from Lowthorpe. He was, though belonging to a junior branch of the family, a gentleman of quite extensive landed estates both in Cherry Burton and in various other parts of the county. In 1545 his name appears on a subsidy roll, assessed twice as much as any other inhabitant of the parisli. Of his parentage and brothers and sisters nothing has been discovered, the early parish records having disappeared. He left a son

(II) Robert Lathrop, son of John Lathrop, succeeded to his father's estates in Cherry Bur- ton and during his lifetime made considerable additions to them. He died in 1553. His will is dated at North Burton ( Sheriburton ), July 16, 1558, and proved at York, October 20, 1558. He was of course a good Roman Cath- olic, and left bequests to the church ; to various friends and relatives ; to wife Ellen ; children John, Thomas, Lawrence, Margaret. Children : I.

his death Coppendale. He removed to Etton about 1576 and died in 1606. His will is dated October 5, 1600. Neither of the sons who were educated were legatees in the will. Children of first wife: I.

(IV) Rev. John Lathrop, a son of Thomas

Lathrop, was born at Etton, Yorkshire, Eng- land, and baptized therc December 20, 1584. He spelled his name Lothropp. He was edu- cated in Qucen's College, Cambridge, graduat- ing in 1601 with the degree of B. A. and tak- ing his master's degree in 1609. He became curate of the parish church in Egelton in the Lower Half Hundred of Calehill, Lathe of Screy, county Kent. He was there as early as 1614, probably in 1611 and as late as the fall of 1619, and it was doubtless his first and only parish as minister of the Church of Eng- land. When he could no longer subscribe to the creed of that church, he renounced his orders in 1623 and allied himself with the Puritans. In 1624 he was called to succeed Rev. Henry Jacob, an independent minister of the First Independent Church of London, who had resigned to go to Virginia. The worship of this church was illegal and their meetings secret. The church was discovered by a spy named Tomlinson and forty-two made pris- oners, eighteen being allowed to escape, April 22, 1632. The Puritan prisoners were con- signed to the old Clink prison in Newgate and in the Gatehouse. In the spring of 1634 all were released on bail except Mr. Lathrop. In the quaint language of Nathaniel Morton in the "New England Memorial" (1669) the story of his further stay in England is briefly told: "His wife fell sick, of which sickness she died. He procured liberty of the bishop to visit his wife before her death, and com- mended her to God by prayer, who soon gave up the ghost. At his return to prison his poor children, being many, repaired to the bishop at Lambeth, and made known unto him their miserable condition, by reason of their good father's being continued in close durance, who commiserated their condition so far as to grant him liberty who soon after came over into New England." "He came to Boston with part of his flock in the ship, "Griffin," and another sailing in the fall of 1634 and arriving Sep- tember 18, proceeded to Scituate, where nine pioneers had already located, and prepared the way for others. He was formally chosen pas- tor January 19, 1634. He married again Anna , and was granted a farm near the First Herring brook and had shares in the salt marshes. He left his home in Scituate after some disagreement in the church, and with others from Scituate located at Barnstable on Cape Cod, arriving October 11, 1639, bring- ing with them the crops they had raised in Scituate. Mr. Lathrop fearlessly proclaimes in old and New England the great truth that

man is not responsible to his fellowman in matters of faith and conscience. Differences of opinion he tolerated. During the fourteen years that he was pastor of the Barnstable church, such was his influence over the people, that the power of a civil magistrate was not needed to restrain crime. No pastor was ever more beloved by his people, none ever had a greater influence for good. * * To become a member of his church no applicant was compelled to sign a creed or confession of faith. He retained his freedom, he pro- fessed his faith in God, and promised that it should be his constant endeavor to keep His commandments, to live a pure life and to walk in love with his brethren." He stood among the Puritans, a Congregational of the Uni- tarian denomination, as we now class them. Morton says: "He was a man of humble and broken heart spirit, lively in Dispensation of the Word of God, studious of peace, furnished with godly contentment, willing to spend and he spent for the cause of the Church of Christ." Mr. Lathrop died at Barnstable, November 8, 1653. His will was dated August 10, and proved December 6, 1653, bequeathing to son Thomas, the eldest ; to son John, who was in England : son Benjamin, daughters Jane and Barbara; to each of the rest of his children, both his and his wife's. Children: I. Jane, baptized at Egerton, England, September 29, 1614, married, April 9, 1635 (by Captain Myles Standish), Samuel Fuller, son of Ed- ward who came on the "Mayflower." 2.

(V) Samuel Lathrop, son of Rev. John Lathrop, was born in England and came with his father to Scituate in 1634. He removed to Barnstable, where he married, November 28, 1644, Elizabeth Scudder, who had been dismissed from the church in Boston, Novem- ber 10, 1644, to the Barnstable church. They settled in Barnstable, next the house of John Scudder. Samuel was a house builder and farmer. He was on the list of those able to bear arms in 1643. His house lot was the third in order from that of John Winthrop, Esq., and his name is among the first eighteen to whom were assigned lands on the east side of the "great river of Pequot, January, 1648- 49. He was one of the judges of the local court of Pequot, organized in May, 1649, and served on important committees of the town. He assisted in the defence against the Nara- gansett Indians in the fort at the head of the Nahantick. In 1679 he had the contract to build the Second Church at New London. In 1651 he sold his town house to Rev. Gershom Bulkley. It stood beyond the bridge over the mill brook, on the east side of the highway toward Nohegan." In 1668 he removed to Norwich, Connecticut, where he was granted a house lot originally granted to John Elderkin. He built a house on the town street before 1670, where he spent the remainder of his days. The house built by Dr. Daniel Lathrop, his great-grandson, probably stands on the same site. He was constable in 1673 and 1682, and townsman in 1685. He married (second) in 1690, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Abigail Doane, born January 29, 1632, died 1734, aged one hundred and two years, daughter of Dea- con John Doane, of Plymouth.
