(VII) Henry Skeele, youngest child of Stephen C. and Julia E. (Skeele) Bemis, was born in Springfield October 23, 1850. He at- tended private schools in Springfield, finishing at Williston Seminary, East Hampton, in 1868. In 1869, with Edward I. Mulchahey, he went into the manufacture of knit goods in Spring- field, under the firm name of Bemis & Mul- chahey. A year later the young men took account of stock and found that the enter- prise yielded no profit and let it go. Mr. Bemis then took a position as shipping clerk with the Bemis & Call Hardware & Tool Com- pany, January 1, 1870, and remained with that firm, filling various positions, till February, 1908, a period of thirty-eight years. He then re- tired, selling his interest in the business in which for years he had been a director. He was one of the original stockholders in the Springfield National Bank, in which he still retains his interest ; and is a stockholder in the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Com- pany, and other financial institutions of the city. Mr. Bemis has voted the Republican ticket since 1872, when he cast his first elec- toral ballot at a national election for Grant and Wilson. Mr. Bemis is a genealogical stu- dent and assisted in the preparation of the Bemis genealogy. He is a constant reader and well informed on current events and gen- eral history. From his youth up Mr. Bemis has taken an interest in athletic sports. As a boy he enjoyed base ball and rowing; and now he fishes and plays golf. He is a mem- ber of the Winthrop Club, Enfield Country Club, and South Branch Club. He and Mrs.

Bemis are members of the first Congregational church, his membership dating from 1876, and hers from 1878. From childhood he has suf- fered from deafness which alone has prevented more prominent participation in the carrying on of the enterprises with which he has been connected. Henry S. Bemis married in Pitts- field, May 21, 1873, Henrietta Susanna, daugh- ter of Patrick and Eliza Kelly. She was born in Pittsfield, April 25, 1848. They have no children.

(The Skeele Line).

The immigrant forbear of this family spelled his name Skeels. The first two generations following did likewise, and some branches of the family now retain that form ; but Dr. Amos Skeeles' family, brothers and nephews, always used the final "e" instead of "s."

(I) John Skeels was the immigrant ancestor of the Skeele family in New England, but the year of his coming is not known. He was liv- ing in Stratford, Connecticut, previous to 1670, when he moved to Woodbury, Connecticut, and settled in that part which is now the town of Southbury. In that year (Orcutts History of Stratford says 1672), it is said that on ac- count of religious dissentions, thirty-seven "signers" moved from Stratford to Woodbury. John Skeels name, and also that of his wife, is affixed to the covenant, 1670. His son, John (2), comes in for his part in the division of meadow land in 1702. In 1712 the "rates" of John, Senior, John, Junior, and Thomas Skeels are given. In 1757 mention is again made of John, Senior, John, Junior, and Thomas Skeels. John ( I) died in Woodbury, Connecticut, October 5, 1721. He married Hannah, daughter of Roger Terrell, of Strat- ford. Children : John and Hannah, twins, bap- tized November 10, 1678; John died young ; Hannah married, March 31, 1697, Benjamin Hickox. John, baptized November, 1679, died May 25, 1727. Thomas, born April 23, 1682 Elizabeth, born April 20, 1683. Abigail, May 9, 1686. Ephraim, July, 1689.

(II) John (2), son of John (1) and Han- nah (Terrell) Skeels, was baptized in Novem- ber, 1679, died May 25, 1727. He had by his wife Sarah: Thomas, Merriam, John, Eph- raim, Abigail, Jonathan, Samuel, Sarah and Hannah.

(III) John (3), son of John (2) and Sarah Skeels, spelled his name Skeele, with the final "e" instead of "s." He was baptized January 15, 1715. He married (first) a Miss Hinman and had : Benjamin, baptized January 15, 1744. David, baptized March 16, 1746. John, born

December 9, 1747, baptized December 20, 1747 ; married, in Chester, Vermont, Phebe Webster. Amos, born April 25, (o. s.) May 6, (n. s.) 1750, died March 1, 1843. He married (sec- ond) December 13, 1758, Mabel Booth and had: Brian, Gideon, Eliad, Mabel and Betty.

(IV) Dr. Amos, fourth son of John (3) and (Hinman) Skeele, was born in that part of Woodbury, Connecticut, now known as Sudbury, May 6, 1750 (n. s.), and died in Chicopee, Massachusetts, March 1, 1843, aged ninety-three. He grew up on his father's farm, enduring the privations and sacrifices incident to colonial life in the days before the revo- lution. After the battle of Lexington, in 1775, came the call for troops to defend the country. Amos, then twenty-five years old, responded to the call, and July 13, 1775, enlisted in the Seventh Regiment of Connecticut state troops, commanded by Colonel Charles Webb, and in the Fifth Company, Nathaniel Tuttle, captain. The companies were stationed at various places along the sound until September 14, when, on call from General Washington, the regiment was ordered to the Boston camps and assigned to General Sullivan's brigade on Winter Hill. It remained there until its term of service ended, December 20, 1775. The troops called out in 1775 constituted a pro- visional force. Raised by their respective col- onies to meet an emergency, their service was limited to short terms. Nearly all were to disband in December, because it was supposed that military operations would cease for the winter, as had been the case in the French and Indian wars. It was soon found imperative, however, to organize new forces, and both congress and Washington urged the soldiers who had been in the field to enlist. Many did so, among them Amos Skeele; Colonel Webb remained in command of his regiment as be- fore, but its name was changed to that of Nine- teenth Continental Foot. From Boston the regiment marched under Washington to New York, going by way of New London, and thence on vessels through the sound. It as- sisted in fortifying New York; was ordered to Brooklyn front; was closely engaged at the battle of White Plains, October 28, 1776, and at Trenton, December 25, 1776, and in part at Princeton, January 3, 1777. Its service closed with the year 1776. In April, 1777, Mr. Skeele was at home planning for re-enlist- ment, when the British under General Tryon made an attack on Danbury where the Ameri- can army had valuable stores. The militia gathered hurriedly in defense. Mr. Skeele

was made captain of a volunteer company, and during the skirmish was seriously wounded by a bullet in his right arm. This ended his service in the war. He then turned his attention to the study of medicine. He studied for a time in Litchfield, Connecticut, but the greater part of his preparation was under the instruction of Dr. Hastings, of Beth= lehem, Connecticut. While there he had the privilege of sitting under the preaching of Dr. Bellamy, the noted theologian, which contrib- uted much to the formation of his religious character. He entered upon practice in Hampton, Connecticut, in 1783, going from there to Middle Haddam in 1787, and from there to Somers in 1795. In 1804 he settled in Chicopee, Massachusetts, then the second parish of Springfield. He was the first and for many years the only physician between Springfield and Hadley, and his practice in- cluded Ludlow, South Hadley and Holyoke, as well as Chicopee. He continued in practice until he was past eighty years old. He was active and successful in his profession. He was deacon in the church and diligent in pro- moting all worthy and philanthropic objects. He had the courage of his convictions and never hesitated as to any course which he be- lieved to be right. Dr. David Field said of him: "For a very long period he discharged his duties of piety to God and beneficence to man with remarkable fidelity."

Dr. Skeele married (first) at Colchester. Connecticut, at the old homestead, on Otis Hill, December 10, 1788, Marcy (Otis) Cone, widow of Daniel Cone, and daughter of John and Prudence (Taintor ) Otis. She was born in Colchester, September 17, 1764, and died in Chicopee, Massachusetts, June 2, 1812. He married (second) August 4, 1814, Lucy Sex- ton, of Somers, Connecticut. His children, all by first marriage, were: I. Otis, mentioned below. 2. A daughter, born February 4, 1793, lived only six days. 3. Marcy, born in Middle Haddam, Connecticut, April 3, 1794, died at Seneca Falls, New York, April 30, 1867. She married, January 31, 1822, Sheldon Chapin. He died July 5, 1868. 4. Amos, born in Somers, Connecticut, March 7, 1796, died in Chicopee, March 3, 1820. 5. Roxana, born Somers, Con- necticut. March 8, 1798, died in Chicopee, June 3, 1876. She married, September 7, 1816, Moses Chapin, of Chicopee, who died March 14. 1857. 6. Daniel Cone, born Somers, Con- necticut. May 19, 1800, died August 27, 1803. 7. Delina Cone, born in Chicopee, November 17. 1804, died in Buffalo, New York, October

4. 1836. She married, September 6, 1826, in Chicopee, John Jarvis Leonard, who died Au- gust 21, 1880. 8. Levi Collins, born in Chico- pee, February 13, 1808, died in Chicopee, June 2, 1868; married, March 23, 1829, Huldah Chapin Morgan; she died April 12, 1856. They had two children: Clarissa Elizabeth, born in Chicopee, June 16, 1830, married in Chicopee, September 16, 1852, William Ran- dall Palmer. Amos, born in Chicopee, Octo- ber 7, 1833, married in East Providence, Rhode Island, October 4, 1869, Sarah Water- man Ide.

(V) Otis, eldest child of Dr. Amos and Marcy (Otis) (Cone) Skeele, was born at Middle Haddam, Connecticut, January 18, 1791, and died at Willimansett, Massachusetts, April 1, 1870. His father intended that he should enter the christian ministery, but he preferred a business life. His early years were spent on the farm, but soon after his marriage he entered the employ of T. D. and S. Boardman, manufacturers of britannia ware in Hartford, Connecticut. In this connection he traveled extensively in the south, introduc- ing the goods of his firm to the southern trade. After this he worked in the factory for three or four years, and moved his family from Chicopee to Hartford. He was always inter- ested in manufactures and a ready workman in the use of tools. Returning from Hartford to Chicopee street, he opened a shop and carried on the business of making boots and shoes, employing a number of workmen and appren- tices. He found a ready sale for his products in distant cities, as well as in nearby markets. When his wife, Keziah (Chapin) Skeele, in- herited large tracts of land through the death of her father, he turned his attention to farm- ing and moved to Willimansett. For a time he carried on the boot and shoe business there, but later he gave this up and devoted his whole time to farming, in which he was successful. His was the first milk farm of importance in Chicopee. Mr. Skeele was always a re- ligious man, but he did not unite with the church until past middle life, when he joined the old First Congregational Church in Chico- pee street. He sang in the choir for many years, was often teacher in the Sunday school, and at one time was superintendent. He was a man of firm convictions, severely conscien- tious, and had the courage to act accordingly. He was a strict sabbatarian. For more than thirty years his milk wagon delivered milk on Sunday but once, and then to take milk to a sick baby. His customers were supplied with

2496

milk for Sunday on Saturday afternoon. These qualities of character made him de- voutly religious, a strong temperance man, and an uncompromising anti-slavery man. His house was one of the stations on the under- ground railroad. He fed the fleeing slaves and sheltered them on his farm, where it has been said: "they were so safely stowed away that it would have puzzled the shrewdest hunter to have found them." It naturally follows that in politics Mr. Skeele was

an ardent Republican. In the earlier days he voted the Liberty party ticket for president. He was considered a man of good judgment and was often called upon to appraise estates and things of that kind. He was prominent and useful in town affairs and for some time was selectman. He was fond of his family but undemonstrative in his affections. Quiet in his demeanor, "not a man who lifted on ready words his freight of gratitude." In 1822 he was commissioned by Governor John Brooks quartermaster of the First Regiment of Infantry in the First Brigade and Fourth Division of the militia. Mr. Skeele retained remarkable vigor in old age. His death at the age of seventy-nine years was caused by falling from a high beam in his barn, where he had climbed after fowls that were roosting there. The effort shows remarkable energy for a man of his years.

Mr. Skeele married (first) in Chicopee, Keziah Chapin, daughter of Major Moses and Keziah (Chapin) Chapin. Keziah was born August 1, 1791, died December 21, 1848. (See Chapin, VII.) He married (second) at Col- chester, Connecticut, in the old Otis home- stead, May 6, 1851, Clarissa Fowler Otis, daughter of David and Fannie ( Fowler) Otis. She was born in Colchester, August 17, 1805, died there May 31, 1896. Children, all by first marriage: Julia Emeline, Ruhema Chapin, John Otis, Henry Edwin, and Adaline Marcy. I. Julia Emeline, see below. 2. Ruhema, born in Hartford, Connecticut, June 23. 1815, died in Springfield, Massachusetts, May 14, 1892; married in Chicopee, May 16, 1838, Amos Call, who died in Springfield, August 30, 1888. 3.

John Otis, born in Chicopee, March 30, 1817, died in Willimansett, December 11, 1871, un- married. 4. Henry Edwin, at Chicopee, March 10, 1829, died in Waltham, Massachu- setts, July 2, 1899.

(IV) Abel, third son of Thomas and Sarah ( Wright ) Chapin, was born January 28, 1700, died May 3. 1772. He resided first after his marriage in that part of Springfield called Willimansett, easterly of where the Connecti- cut river railroad station was later located and at the foot of the hill on the old road to South Hadley, on what is now called the Briggs lot. He afterward resided on Chicopee street and kept a tavern there for several years. The same place was afterward owned and occu- pied by his grandson, Moses Chapin, Esquire, and after him by his son Moses, and in 1862 was occupied by the widow of the last Moses. Abel Chapin married, January 9, 1720, Hannah Hitchcock, daughter of Luther and Elizabeth Hitchcock. She died April 12, 1778, aged seventy-six. Children : Hannah, Abiah, Abel Jemima, Elizabeth, Moses, next mentioned.

(V) Ensign Moses, youngest child of Abel and Hannah (Hitchcock) Chapin, was born in Springfield, February 25, 1739, died May 19, 1771. He was taken prisoner with Major Rogers at Lake George, January, 1757. He had obtained some knowledge of the Latin language before entering the army. While held a prisoner, he became acquainted with a priest (probably Catholic) who would converse with him in Latin but in no other language. He, fared ill for a time, but after making known his condition to the priest he fared better. His Latin books over a hundred years later were in possession of his grandson, Titus Chapin. His surveying instruments and his "Lone's Surveying," printed in London, 1760, were in possession of Orange Chapin, the family genealogist. Moses Chapin married Bethia Chapin-published December 17, 1761 -daughter of Phineas and Bethia Chapin. She was born in 1740, died November 10, 1780. She married (second) Jabez Snow, an officer in the revolution. Children of Moses and Bethia: Moses, Hadassah, Ashbel, Editha and Rufus.

He was a member of the constitutional convention of 1820, and was a man of good judgment and great persever- ance.
