Williams, from Roxb., and through her succeeded to the inheritance of the E. half of the ancient Wood farm, now owned and occupied by Maj. John Goulding, a descendant. Capt. W. was an able, enterprising man, and much respected citizen. He served as cornet of horse in an expedition against the Indians, and was seleetman 11 years. About 1710, he, in company with Cpt. Joseph Morse, built the first grist mill on Sewell's brook, and his slave, Duty, being a better miller than Capt. M. could supply, secured him all the custom, and induced my ancestor to sell out, and the privilege has remained to this day in the family of Capt. W. The ancient Hull farm having descended through Hull's only dg., Mrs. Judge Sewell, to her dg. Judith, the wife of Rev. Dr. Cooper, of Boston, Capt. W. in 1734 -- 5, purchased of them, for -, the the S. E. half of the same, consisting of 250 acres, Richard Sanger purchas- ing at the same time, for an equal sum, the N. W. half. Capt. W. proceeded immediately, it is believed, to erect the venerable mansion yet standing on the N. bank of Sewell's Brook, upon the W. side of the road to E. Med., known from a magnificent Ehn, planted about the same time by his slave, Duty, moved into it and there spent the remainder of his days. His remains were interred in the desecrated burying-ground at the S end of S., where his elegant headstone may be found lying in the vicinity of his grave, if not yet . thrown into Charles R.

Josephus Wheaton, Rev., b. Mar. 16, 1788, s. of Joseph W., Esq., of Rehoboth, a descendant fr. Rev. - W., the 2d pastor of the Bap. chh. of Swansey, " early evinced a strong thirst for knowledge," and by his own energy and perseverance, obtained a thorough education. He grad. with distinguished honor, in 1812, at B. U., where he continued his residence, studied theology, and at the same time, had charge of the Acad. connected with the Univ., was tutor in the same, 1813-15 ; licensed, 1814 ; ordained pastor at H., Dec. 6, 1815 ; and d. of a consumption, Feb. 4, 1825. He was by nature, a most amiable man, endowed with fine sensibilities, rare sagacity and self-control. He penetrated into the arcana of whatever he made his study, and could communicate his knowledge with readiness and propriety. As a tutor, he excelled in gaining the esteem of undergraduates, and in rendering them thorough in their studies, and circumspect in their deportment ; and had be chosen the profession of a teacher, few of his cotemporaries could have excelled him at the head .of a college. But this was to him a secondary calling. From the date of brightened hopes in the pardoning mercy of God, his heart and understanding were fixed upon preaching the Gospel as the highest pursuit in which
256

men or angels can engage ; and from that time he devoted all his energies to become a workman that would not need to be ashamed. He had previously pursued a variety of studies, having no reputed direct connection with the duties of the sacred office, yet " well calculated " to prevent that hostility to science, which beattles not a few otherwise valuable men, and "to enlarge his sphere of ministerial usefulness."
His various attainments, soundness in doctrine and evident consecration-his ap- pearance as a speaker, and his plain, yet winning address, fitted him peculiarly to harmonize and restrain the then discordant elements of H., and to inculcate and de- fend those truths, which alone could ensure permanent peace. For such reasons, II. was proposed to him, and he to H. ; and he was engaged to supply the pulpit, be- fore he resigned his tutorship. After his settlement, the chh. had rest, and was edified.
" In his intercourse with his people, Mr. Wheaton's wisdom was evangelical ; first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated. His conciliating deportment, amiable temper, and dignified, yet unaffected manners, won the affections of those who were not always pleased with his theological sentiments ; " which closely resembled those of his worthy predecessor, and embraced the peculiarities of Calvinism to which the term Hopkinsian is applied by way of designation. He was completely success- ful in uniting and harmonizing this people at a time when they were found not a little discordant in opinion and feeling ; and enjoyed, in an unusual degree, their respect, confidence, and affection, from the commencement to the close of his ministerial life.
" Mr. W. was a student as well as a pastor. What time the more active duties of his office would permit, he was with his book and his pen. He excelled in an intimate acquaintance with the classics. His literary character, and eminent talents as an instructor of youth, made his house a favorite resort of young men fitting for college, or perfecting their education."
" As a preacher, Mr. W. was, what he principally aimed to be, instructive. Yet he was also an animated and animating preacher. His whole soul appeared in his work. To be eloquent was not his object ; and yet he was occasionally eloquent to a high degree. His style was worthy the man who wrote, and of the important subjects on which it was employed. He seemed to think with Addison, that good thoughts ought to be well dressed. As it respects the delivery of his discourses, it was natural," though uncommonly rapid ; " and his animation, united with the rich materials of his sermons, made him a highly acceptable speaker."
" His piety was ardent ; and humility was a distinguishing feature of it. His trials with respect to his own piety, though not without example, were peculiarly severe. But his sun was not always overcast ; he hoped in God ; resigned himself with confi- dence to his disposal ; and often had joy and peace in believing." [Chris. Magaz. ]
During his ministry the present orthodox chh. was built and consecrated. On the latter occasion Mr. W. delivered a discourse, which was published-" a lasting monu- ment of the man and the event." He published several other sermons, a work on School Education, and one often referred to, on the Equality of Mankind, and the Evils of Slavery. He m. 1st, Mary Ide, Jan., 1816, who d.
