The great fitness of Mr. Hill for his position with the humanitarian societies with which he is actively identified, cannot but be appreciated when we have the insight to his character which is afforded by a glimpse at his diary, as was the privilege of the editor of this narra- tive. Mr. Hill noted, on January Ist, 1908: "Sixty-two years ago I was one of the hap- piest of men for on that New Year's Day I was to marry a young lady that I dearly loved, and, possessing all the beautiful virtues of a high and pure-souled woman, whom I con- sidered faultless. In looking back over all those long years, I am sure that my estimation of her character was absolutely correct, and with a grateful heart I thank God for giving me such a companion. After my day's work yesterday she met me, with the front door open, as she always does, and when I went by her window this morning, on my way to the city, she waved her hand to me, as usual. Such things sustain a man, no matter how many an unpleasant thing meets him in his day's work."

(The Waite Line).

Several immigrants by the name of Waite settled in New England before 1650. Among them were Richard and Gamaliel Waite, who settled in Boston. It is said that they had a brother Thomas, who settled in Seconet, Rhode Island, and had quite a family. Among his children, it is thought, were William of North- ampton, Richard Waite, of Springfield, and Sergeant Benjamin, of Hatfield, mentioned below.

(I) Sergeant Benjamin Waite was born as early as 1640. He had eight acres of land granted him on the west side of Main street, the fourth lot north of the Deerfield road, in Hatfield, and other lots later. September 19, 1677, when the Indians attacked Hatfield, he suffered severely. His house and barn were burned, and his wife Martha and three chil- dren, Mary, aged six, Martha, aged four, and Sarah, aged two, were taken captive and car- ried to Canada. Benjamin Waite and Stephen Jennings undertook to redeem their wives and children and the other captives. They obtained a commission from the government of Massa- chusetts, and set out from Hatfield October 24, going to Albany, and thence to Schenectady. At this point they were taken back to Albany by force, by the authorities, who did not sym- pathize with their undertaking, and taken to New York to Governor Andros. Captain Brockhurst interceded for them, and again they started, and arrived at Albany on Novem- ber 19. They were obliged to hire a Mohawk Indian to conduct them to Lake George, and this savage was humane and friendly. He fitted up a canoe, and drew a plan of the lakes they were to pass. They were the first New England men to pass down Lakes George and Champlain to Canada. They went down Lake George and carried their canoe upon their backs two miles to Lake Champlain, where they were hindered by ice and head winds many days, and reached Chamblee on January 6, 1678. At Sorell and vicinity they found the captives. They went to Quebec and were civilly treated by the French governor, who granted them a guard of eleven persons towards Albany. They left Quebec on April

851

MASSACHUSETTS.

19, and Sorell on May 2, having redeemed all the captives. They arrived at Albany on May 22, and sent a messenger to Hatfield with two letters, one from Quintin Stockwell to his wife, and the other from Benjamin Waite, as fol- lows :

Albany, May 23, 1678.

To my loving friends and kindred at Hatfield:

These few lines are to let you understand that we are arrived at Albany now with the captives, and we now stand in need of assistance, for my charges is very great and heavy; and therefore any that have any love to our condition, let it move them to come and help us in this strait. Three of the cap- tives are murdered,-old Goodman Plympton, Sam- uel Foot's daughter, Samuel Russell. All the rest are alive and well and now at Albany, namely, Oba- diah Dickinson and his child, Mary Foot and her child, Hannah Jennings and 3 children, Abigail Allis, Abigail Bartholomew, Goodman Coleman' children. Samuel Kellogg, my wife and 4 children, and Quin- tin Stockwell. I pray you hasten the matter, for it requireth great haste. Stay not for the Sabbath, now shoeing of horses. We shall endeavor to meet you at Canterhook, it may be at Housatononk. We must come very softly because of our wives and children. I pray you, hasten them, stay not night nor day, for the matter requireth haste. Bring pro- visions with you for us.

Your loving kinsman,

BENJAMIN WAITE.

At Albany, written from mine own hand. As I have been affected to yours all that were fatherless, be affected to me now, and hasten the matter and stay not, and ease me of my charges. You shall not need to be afraid of any enemies.

They remained at Albany five days and on Monday, May 27, walked twenty-two miles to Kinderhook, where they met men and horses from Hatfield, and soon reached home in safety. The ransom of the captives cost over two hundred pounds, and was raised by con- tributions among the English. Copies of the letters of Waite and Stockwell were carried to Medford on May 29, and Rev. John Wilson, of that place, sent them to the governor and council at Boston, who issued a notice and sent copies of Mr. Waite's letter to all the churches to be read the following Sunday, that the peo- ple might be moved to contribute freely to his assistance. Benjamin Waite was killed in the battle with the French and Indians while driv- ing the enemy across the meadow in Deerfield, February 29, 1704. His body was stripped and mutilated. His remains were buried in the Deerfield cemetery.

(II) Sergeant John, son of Benjamin Waite, was born in Hatfield, January 17, 1680, and died in 1744. He was, like his father, much in the Indian service, and a famous scout. He was in the fight at Deerfield, February 29, 1704, when his father was killed, and secured as a trophy a hatchet captured from the enemy, and was surrendered to the colony. This and other things found were sold at auction, the hatchet selling for two shillings seven pence. He was often sent on a scout, often on snow shoes.

At the age of twenty-eight he removed to California, and for twenty years was clerk of the Esmeralda county court in Nevada, whither he removed. He was also cashier and bookkeeper for a min- ing company in Nevada. Afterward hie owned

ELDREDGE The name Eldredge, Eld- ridge or Eldred, is origi- nally Saxon. Eldred was the name of several kings in the eighth and ninth centuries. Eldred was king of Chester in 951. At the time of the Domesday survey (A. D. 1805), men of the name were living in the counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Gloucester, Shropshire, York and others. John Eldred, of Great Saxham, in Suf- folk, descended from an ancient family claim- ing Saxon origin. Tradition says that he pur- chased the Great Saxham estate because of his belief that his ancestors, in remote ages, as Saxon kings, had held the Saxhams as their great Saxon home. He was born in 1552 and died in 1632. He was a great traveller and his ships and merchandise went to all parts of the world of commerce. He was one of the found- ers of Virginia, and from 1609 to 1624 was a member of His Majesty's Council for the Vir- ginia Company of London. There is reason to believe that the first American settlers of this surname were relatives of this John Eldred, and that William Eldredge had brothers, Robert, who settled at Yarmouth and Mono- moy, and Samuel, who settled at Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Stonington, Connecticut. Even at the present time the spelling of the name differs, all three forms still being in use in different branches of the family.

(I) William Eldredge, immigrant ancestor, was born in England and settled in Yarmouth, Massachusetts. He was appointed constable of that place and served in 1657-62-74-75-77. He was also surveyor of highways. As the records of Yarmouth were destroyed by fire, it is diffi- cult to trace his family and descendants. The

853

lineage given here is believed to be correct. Certainly it is in the main. He married Anne Lumpkin, who was buried November 1, 1676, daughter of William and Tamesin Lumpkin, of Yarmouth. Lumpkin came over in 1637, was deputy to the general court and held many town offices. Lumpkin in his will, dated July 23, 1668, bequeathed to grandchildren Elisha and Bethia Eldred. Children, as far as known : I. Anne. born in Yarmouth, December 16, 1648. 2. Sarah, Yarmouth, October 10, 1650. Elisha, 1653, resided in Harwich and East- ham, where he died October 14, 1739. 4. Bethia. The following are also believed to be the children of William Eldredge: 5. Jehosi- phat, died .1732 ; married Elizabeth - and had Edward, born in Chatham, July 17, 1702, Nathaniel, Elisha, Elnathan, Ebenezer, Barna- bas and Elizabeth. 6. Samuel, mentioned below. 7. John.

(II) Samuel, son of William Eldredge, was born in or near Yarmouth, about 1655, died about 1705. He married at Yarmouth, Feb- ruary 6, 1680, Keziah Taylor, and had eight children. Among them was Samuel, men- tioned below.

(III) Samuel (2), son of Samuel (I) Eld- redge, was born at Yarmouth about 1682. He married Mary -. Among their children were: I. Sarah, born November 8, 1704. 2. Samuel, mentioned below.

(IV) Samuel (3), son of Samuel (2) Eld- redge, was born at Yarmouth, probably about 1720. He married (first) Sarah , (second) Lydia The children, re- corded at Dennis, Massachusetts : I.

(V) Levi, son of Samuel (3) Eldredge, was born at Yarmouth, now Dennis, September 27, 1753. He and his brother Eli settled in Ash- field, Hampshire county, Massachusetts, about the time of the beginning of the revolution. Rowland, Jonathan, Paul, and Enos Sears also went from Cape Cod to Ashfield about 1772. Levi was a soldier in the revolution in Captain Ephraim Jennings's company, Colonel David Field's regiment. This was an Ashfield com- pany. According to the census of 1790, Levi

had five sons under sixteen and three females in his family. His brother Eli was also living at Ashfield and had one son under sixteen and one female in his family. It is interesting to note that there were no less than seventeen heads of families named Eldredge in Harwich alone in 1790. One was Barnabas, a familiar name in the Sears and Eldredge families of the Cape.

(VI) Barnabas, son of Levi or Eli Eld- redge, was born July, 1780, in Ashfield, Mass- achusetts, died in August, 1857. He settled in his native town and was a farmer all his active life. In politics he was a Whig, and in relig- ion a Congregationalist. He married Hannah Sears, born 1780, died May, 1862, aged eighty- two years, daughter of Enos and Rebecca (Kelley) Sears. Her father was born at Yar- mouth, Massachusetts, June II, 1752, son of Daniel, grandson of Paul Sears, Jr. Paul Sears Sr., father of Paul, was son of the immi- grant Richard, a sketch of whom appears else- where in this work.

He settled on the homestead, which descended to him at his father's death, and was a thrifty farmer. He was a Republican in politics, inter- ested in public affairs and a useful citizen. He was a member of the Congregational church of Ashfield. He married, September 7, 1834, at Ashfield, Mary Hall, daughter of Elisha and Mary Hall. Children: I. Ruth, married Apollis Brackett. 2.
