Samuel9 Shaw, whose name begins this sketch, is a resident of Newton. He was educated in the public schools, and his early business training was secured while a clerk in

the country store of the Hon. Jesse Murdock, of South Carver. In 1866 he went to Boston to take charge of Mr. Murdock's interests there, and in 1867 was admitted to partnership. When the Murdock Parlor Grate Company was incorporated in 1875, Mr. Shaw became its treasurer; and in 1897 he was elected both president and treasurer. Many new lines of business have been introduced by him, making it the leading house of its kind in New England. Scarcely a vestige of the original line remains to-day. Mr. Shaw has been ac- tive in the Masonic fraternity, and is Past Commander of Gethsemane Commandery, K. T., of Newtonville. At Pittsfield, Febru- ary 18, 1871, he married Harriet Estelle, daughter of Charles A. and Cynthia (Robin- son) Wakefield, who was born in the State of New York, October 28, 1845. Their children are : Alfred Victor, born December 12, 1872, who is a graduate of the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology; Ernest Wakefield, born November 29, 1875, who married Edith Tay- lor; Samuel Harold, born June 20, 1879, who is employed in the office of the Murdock Par- lor Grate Company; Howard Earl, born De- cember 18, 1881; and Ralph Robinson, born February 14, 1884.

HARLES RUSSELL, of Watertown, Mass., a prominent wholesale dealer in ice, was born in that place De- cember 31, 1838. A son of Jeremiah Russell, he is a descendant in the seventh generation of William Russell, the founder of the Russell family in New England, the line being : William,' Joseph, 2 Walter, 3 Hubbard, 4 Hubbard, 5 Jeremiah,6 and Charles7.

William' Russell, who was b. and reared in England, lived there until after his marriage. In 1636, or thereabouts, he emigrated to Amer- ica, being accompanied by his wife Martha and their children. He followed his trade of car- penter in Cambridge, Mass., where he settled, and of which town he was one of the original proprietors in 1645. Having spent the re- mainder of his life there, he d. February 14, 1661. Joseph2 Russell was an infant when he came with his parents from England to Massa-

chusetts, his birth having occurred, probably, in 1636. Succeeding to the business of his father, he carried it on during his active life. He d. on a date between November 14 and De- cember 17, 1694. On June 23, 1662, he m. Mary Belcher, daughter of Jeremiah Belcher, of Ipswich, Mass. Walter3 Russell, b. April 30, 1676, d. March 30, 1748. On May 17, 1699, he m. Mary Patten, who d. within a few years after. He m. for his second wife, April 3, 1706, Elizabeth Winship. Among the chil- dren b. of this union was a son Hubbard, who was the next in line of descent. Hubbard4 Russell, who was baptized in Watertown, Mass., August 22, 1731, was drowned May 22, 1782, while crossing the Charles River from Boston to East Cambridge. He m. June 12, 1759, Lois Boynton, of Watertown. Hubbards Russell, a lifelong resident of Watertown, was baptized October 18, 1761. His wife, whose maiden name was Stratton, bore him five sons.

Jeremiah6 Russell, the third son of Hub- bard, d. in Watertown, aged fifty-two years. Engaging in agricultural pursuits in early life, he paid especial attention to dairying, and, in company with his brother George, established a profitable milk route in Boston. Owing to the demands of his numerous customers for ice, he soon began to deal in that commodity, ob- taining his supply from Fresh Pond. He m. Roxanna Barnard, daughter of Samuel Barnard, of Watertown, and they reared five children, as follows: Jeremiah, who d., leaving seven chil- dren; Caroline M. Gilman Brackett, of New- ton, who d., leaving two sons; William, who d., leaving three surviving children out of a family of seven; Horace, who d. unmarried; and Charles, the special subject of this sketch, the only survivor of the family.

Charles7 Russell was educated in the public schools of Watertown. In 1856, at the age of eighteen years, he made the voyage around the Horn to Callao, Peru, having charge of a cargo of ice. Soon after the breaking out of the Civil War, he went to Washington, D.C., where he was subsequently employed for four years in the ice business, working for a firm of which his brother William was a. member. Subsequently he returned to Watertown, and in partnership with his brother William estab-

lished his ice business, the firm name being Charles Russell & Co. The streams and ponds of this locality failing to furnish sufficient ice to supply his customers, he was among the first to go out of the State for his supply. He erected ice-houses on the banks of the Kenne- bec River in Maine, and was a pioneer in the development of the ice industry that has now reached vast proportions. Mr. Russell married Miss Joanna Taltry, who was born in Wash- ington, D.C. Mr. and Mrs. Russell have one child - Charles D., a student at Harvard Uni- versity in the class of 1903.

AMES MINTON PULLMAN, D. D., pastor of the First Universalist Church, Lynn, Mass., was born in Portland, Chautauqua County, N. Y., August 21, 1836, a son of James Lewis and Emily Caro- line (Minton) Pullman. His paternal grand- parents, Psalter and Elizabeth (Lewis) Pull- man, earlier ancestors and their kinsfolk for several generations, were inhabitants of Rhode Island, the name (sometimes spelled "Pul- man ") being in the registers of several different towns. (See Arnold's "Vital Records," espe- cially vols. i. and v.) The following excerpts are of interest in this connection : At Richmond, R. I., "Nathaniel Pullman, Jr., now residing in Hopkinton, and Alice Potter, of Richmond, m. by Edward Perry, justice, November 20, 1766." (There being no record of Pullman births at either Hopkinton or Richmond, it is perhaps safe to infer that "Nathaniel, Jr.," did not remain at Hopkinton long after his marriage.) At West Greenwich, "Potter Pul- man, of Nathaniel, and Amy Draper, of Joseph, m. by Elder Greene August 3, 1794"; also "Psalter, of Nathaniel, of West Greenwich, and Elizabeth Lewis, of James of Exeter, m. by Elder Elisha Greene, February 19, 1795." From these records it would appear that "Na- thaniel," father of Potter, and "Nathaniel, of West Greenwich," father of Psalter, were one and the same person, and identical with "Na- thaniel, Jr.," formerly of Hopkinton, R. I. To determine this point, however, further re- search, for which time is now lacking, is need-

ful. In the "Civil and Military List of Rhode Island (1647-1800)," published in 1900, Na- thaniel Pulman appears as Ensign, Captain Samuel Gordon's company, Exeter, R.I., in May, 1777, and Nathaniel Pullman, of West Greenwich, as Justice of the Peace, 1793-96.

Elizabeth Lewis, wife of Psalter Pullman, was b. at Exeter, R. I., in 1780, being a daugh- ter of James and Thankful (Barber) Lewis, the date of whose marriage was January 15, 1775. James Lewis Pullman, son of Psalter and Eliz- abeth, was b. at West Greenwich, R. I., July 26, 1800. When a young man he settled in Auburn, N. Y., whence he removed in 1830 to Salem Cross Roads, Chautauqua County, N. Y., where he engaged in farming and car- pentering. Possessing considerable mechani- cal ability, he became the inventor of a ma- chine for moving heavy buildings. He also required each of his sons to learn a trade; and it may be said that his insistence in this matter gave rise indirectly many years later to the great Pullman Palace Car Company, of Chi- cago, Ill. The last few years of his life were passed in Albion, N. Y., where he became a resident in 1844. He was one of the first in his locality to adopt the doctrines of the Uni- versalist Church; and he was a Free Mason, being much devoted to both church and lodge. On September 24, 1825, he m. at Auburn, N. Y., Emily Caroline Minton, who was b. in Auburn, August 14, 1808, daughter of James and Theodosia (Lewis) Minton. Ten children were the fruit of their union, namely : Royal Henry; Albert Benton; George Mortimer; Frances Caroline; James M., the subject of this sketch; William Eaton, who d. in child- hood; Charles Lewis; Helen Augusta; Emma Caroline; and Frank William. James Lewis Pullman d. at Albion, N. Y., November I, 1853. Mrs. Emly Caroline Pullman survived her husband many years, and d. in New York City, May, 1892.

Royal H. Pullman, b. at Auburn, N. Y., June 30, 1826, their eldest child, d. at his summer residence, Thousand Islands, August 26, 1900. He was educated at Clarendon Academy, Chautauqua, and at Lombard Uni- versity, Galesburg, Ill., which bestowed upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He was

settled successively as pastor of the Universal- ist Church in Olcott, N. Y., Fulton, N. Y., Peoria, Ill. ; then for four years General Sec- retary of the Universalist General Convention ; finally, for twenty years pastor and for six years pastor emeritus of the Second Universal- ist Society of Baltimore, Md. He m. Harriet Jane Barmore, by whom he had two children - George Henry and Frances Caroline.

Albert B. Pullman, b. at Auburn, N. Y., October 16, 1828, d. December 18, 1893. He was second vice-president of the Pullman Palace Car Company. He m. Emily A. Bennett, who bore him three daughters - Helen, Emma, and Alice.

George M. Pullman, b. March 4, 1831, at Portland, N. Y., was the originator of the Pull- man Palace Car Company, and for many years at the head of that corporation. He d. in Chi- cago, Ill., October 17, 1897. Of his union with Hattie A. Sanger, of Chicago, there were four children - Florence, Harriet, and George Mortimer, Jr., and Sanger (twins).

Charles Lewis Pullman, b. April 24, 1841, is now a resident of Washington. During the Civil War he enlisted in the Ninth Illinois Cavalry, and served three years in the Depart- ment of the South. He is an inventor, and for a number of years was contracting agent of the Pullman Company. He m. Clara J. Slosser, and they have one son - William C.

Helen Augusta Pullman, b. May 11, 1843, is the widow of the late George West, and lives in New York City. She has two children : Stewart Pullman West, assistant editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser ; and Bertha Helen, wife of Henry C. Cooke, M. D., of Providence, R. I.

Emma Caroline Pullman, b. September 25, 1846, is the wife of William Francis Fluhrer, M. D., of New York City. Dr. and Mrs. Fluhrer have three children : Helen Pullman, who was graduated from Radcliffe College in the class of 1900; Minton, now attending Yale University ; and Lewis, now attending Colum- bia University, School of Mines.

Frank William Pullman, b. at Albion, N. Y., May 1I, 1849, youngest child of James L. and Emily C. Pullman, d. March 21, 1879. He was a prominent lawyer in New York City, and

731

GENEALOGY AND PERSONAL HISTORY

served as Assistant District Attorney of New York City under Stewart L. Woodford.

James Minton Pullman fitted for college at the Albion Academy at Albion, N. Y., was graduated at the Divinity School of St. Law- rence University at Canton, N. Y., in 1861, and received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from that institution in 1879. For seven years (1861-68) he was pastor of the First Univer- salist Church in Troy, N. Y., going thence to the Sixth Universalist Church of New York City, where he remained seventeen years. For the past sixteen years, or since 1885, he has held the pastorate of the First Universal- ist Church in Lynn, the parish being the largest Universalist parish in the United States. He was secretary of the Universalist General Convention eight years, 1870-78; is president of Dean Academy, Franklin, Mass. ; director of the Massachusetts Prison Associa- tion; member of the Massachusetts State Board of Charities; president of the Associated Char- ities of Lynn since 1886; member of the Na- tional Civil Service Reform League from its inception ; member of the Massachusetts Soci- ety for Promoting Good Citizenship; Counsel- lor American Institute of Civics; member of the National Conference of Charities and Cor- rection ; also a member of several social clubs. While living in Troy, he was made a Mason. He has written for publication numerous re- views and essays. Dr. Pullman has long been recognized as one of the leading clergymen of the liberal faith in New England - a leader, too, as shown by the above partial record of his activities, in educational matters, in or- ganized charity, and in various important movements having for their object social reform and progress on well-considered lines.

Dr. Pullman married January 20, 1862, Jennie S. Tracy, of Canton, N. Y., a daughter of Catlin and Sophronia (Cheseborough) Tracy. They have had three children : two that died in infancy ; and Frederick Albert, who was born in New York City, August 22, 1868. The latter, after a course of study in the School of the Mechanic Arts of the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, learned the trade of elec- trician with the Thompson-Houston Electric Company at Lynn, and is now travelling

freight and passenger agent of the Boston & Maine Railway Company, with residence in Lynn. He married January 17, 1894, Cora Blanche Hoagland, of Pullman, Ill.

B ERTRAND EUGENE TAYLOR, architect, Boston, was born in St. Johnsbury, Vt., April 29, 1856, son of Jacob and Harriet (Thayer) Tay- lor. His paternal grandparents were James and Abigail (Heath) Taylor, James being son of Jacob and Susan or Sophia (Beach) Taylor. On the maternal side his grandparents were Sanford and Patience (Aldrich) Thayer, the latter a daughter of "Asquire" and Abigail (Ide) Aldrich. These families will receive attention in their proper order.

The Taylor line prior to the great-grand- father, Jacob, cannot with the information now at hand be accurately traced. Jacob Taylor, who was b. in Vermont in 1762, enlisted at Dunstable, N. H., March 20; 1778, in Cap- tain William Scott's company of Colonel James Cilley's regiment, and served nearly three years in the War for Independence, re- ceiving his discharge February 15, 1781. He moved to Hatley, P. Q., about 1801. In 1801 he was residing at Stanstead, P.Q., whence in 1816 he went to Cassville and sub- sequently to Derby, Vt. He d. in 1848. The Vermont pension list (1820) mentions Jacob Taylor as a private in the New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island lines. A re- cord of Orleans County, Vermont, pensions states that the name Jacob Taylor, New Hamp- shire line, was placed upon the roll September 10, 1819. In the New Hampshire list Jacob Taylor is mentioned as a private in the Massa- chusetts line. There is a slight discrepancy in regard to his age in the Orleans County record, but errors of this kind are not unfre- quent in official documents. His wife, Susan or Sophia (Beach) Taylor, who also was a na- tive of Vermont, d. in 1835. Jacob Taylor's parents resided in Windsor, Vt. His mother's maiden name was Beach.

The Beach family probably came from Wall- ingford, Conn. According to the history of that town, John Beach, of Stratford, Conn.,

732

NEW ENGLAND LIBRARY OF

first bought land in Wallingford in 1660. He had a family of ten children. Thomas2 Beach (b. in 1659), his fourth child, came to Wall- ingford in 1669. He m. for his first wife Ruth Peck, who bore him three children. His second wife was Phebe, daughter of Timothy Willcoxen, of Stratford, and of this union there were eight children. Nathan3 Beach, the second of these (b. August 18, 1692), was m. September 29, 1713, to Jemima Curtiss, who bore him six children. Their fifth child, Stephen, 4 was b. April 6, 1729; and their sixth, Elihu, was b. December 14, 1734. Upon another page of the same book the date of Stephen's birth is given as October 16, 1729, and that of Elihu as December 17, 1734. A daughter Eunice is recorded as the seventh child of Nathaniel and Jennie Beach. No further mention of Stephen and Elihu Beach appears in the genealogical record in the His- tory of Wallingford, but it is very probable that they removed to Windsor, Vt., as two per- sons named respectively Stephen and Elihu Beach were living there in 1786.

James Taylor, b. Windsor, Vt., 1794, sec- ond son of Jacob, was drafted into the British army from Hatley, P. Q., as an interpreter and clerk to the commanding officer. His wife Abigail, Bertrand E. Taylor's grandmother, was b. (probably) in Bridgewater, Mass., in 1798, daughter of Daniel and Judith (George) Heath. Her grandfather, Peter Heath, emi- grated from England during the last half of the eighteenth century, first settling in Bridge- water, where he m. Abigail Crawford, in 1804 removing to Stanstead, P.Q. He d. in 1817, his wife in 1830. They had seven children; and their son Daniel, who was b. at Bridge- water in 1772, accompanied his parents to Stanstead. Daniel Heath and his wife Judith were the parents of nine children, Abigail, who m. James Taylor, being the eldest. She d. in St. Johnsbury, Vt., about the year 1862.

Patience Aldrich, Bertrand E. Taylor's ma- ternal grandmother, was a descendant of George' Aldrich, from whom the late Judge Aldrich, of Worcester, Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the well-known writer, are also descended. George' Aldrich, who came from Derbyshire,

England, in 1631, was made a freeman at Dor- chester, Mass., in 1636, and was granted land in Boston in 1640. He lived in Braintree from 1644 to 1663, in which latter year he, with several others, including Ferdinando2 Thayer, settled the town of Mendon. His will, which was proved in 1683, mentions sons Joseph, Jacob, and John, and daughters.

Jacob Aldrich (b. at Braintree 1652, d. at Mendon 1695) m. in 1675 Huldah Thayer, daughter of Ferdinando2 and Huldah (Hay- ward) Thayer. Ferdinando2 was a son of Thomas' Thayer, who came over from Eng- land accompanied by his wife Margery and three sons, and was made a freeman at Brain- tree in 1647. Ferdinando,2 his second son, became one of the first proprietors of Mendon, as previously mentioned. He m. Huldah Hay- ward, of Braintree, in 1652, and their daughter Huldah was b. in Mendon in 1657. Seth3 Aldrich, son of Jacob and Huldah (Thayer) Aldrich, was b. in 1679, and d. in 1737. He was twice m., and had fourteen children. Jonathan4 Aldrich, son of Seth3 and his first wife, Deborah Hayward, received, November 2, 1739, ten acres of the first division of land belonging to his father, and described in the Proprietors' Records of Mendon as "Seth Al- drich's rights." According to the records of old Smithfield, R. I., Jonathan Aldrich and Patience Gaskill, both of Mendon, were m. March 17, 1742, by David Comstock, Justice. Their children were, as given in the Vital Records of Cumberland, R. I. : Asa (b. 1744) ; Artemas; Alice; Amey; Abigail; Squire5 (so spelled) ; Patience; Patience, second; Hen- nerrittia (Henrietta); and Patience, third, the latter b. in 1767. Asquires Aldrich, b. June 15, 1760, enlisted for service in the Revolu- tionary War in January, 1776, for thirteen months in Captain David Dexter's company, Colonel Lippett's regiment. In 1777 he re- enlisted for four months, and again in 1778 for one year, participating in the battles of Tren- ton and Princeton. He settled in St. Johns- bury (Vt.) prior to 1798, and his death oc- curred January 16, 1836, or January 17, 1837 (two records). He was five times m., and the father of fifteen children. His first wife was Mary Whipple; his second, Abigail Whipple,

B. in Rehoboth, Mass., May 30, 1785, daughter of John,5 Sr., and Deborah (Pond) Ide, Abigail Ide was a descendant in the sixth generation of Nicholas' Ide, a native of Eng- land, b. about the year 1620, who was one of the original settlers of Rehoboth in 1643. He d. there in October, 1690. Ensign Timothy2 Ide, b. at Rehoboth in October, 1660, m. De- cember 20, 1687, Elizabeth Cooper. Their son Timothy, 3 b. October 1, 1688, m. Decem- ber 20, 1716, Mary Daggett. He d. in 1768. Ichabod4 Ide, b. March 31, 1718, was m. June 4, 1741, to Mary Mason. John5 Ide was b. at Rehoboth, August 24, 1742. He was a Re- volutionary soldier, and a careful search of the records relative to his military service re- sults as follows: John Ide, of Rehoboth, was First Lieutenant in Captain John Lyon's or Captain Jesse Perrin's company, one of the Rehoboth companies which marched at the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775, and served seven days. Another John Ide, of Rehoboth, was a Corporal, marching on the same alarm and serving eight days; Sergeant in Captain Nathaniel Carpenter's company of Colonel Thomas Carpenter's regiment, and marched from Rehoboth to the Rhode Island alarm, De- cember 8, 1776, serving eleven days. He also served one month in 1777, two months and twenty-five days in Rhode Island in 1778, and on other occasions. John Ide settled in St. Johnsbury about the year 1792, and is men- tioned in the History of Caledonia County as a pioneer in that town. He d. at St. Johnsbury

in 1815. He was a wheelwright by trade. His wife Deborah was a descendant of Daniel1 Pond, who was living at Dedham, Mass., about the year 1652, and who m. Abigail, daughter of Edward Shepard, of Cambridge. Their fourth child, Ephraim2 Pond, baptized in 1656, lived in Wrentham. January 6, 1685-6, he m. Deborah, daughter of Edward and Eleony (Lumber) Hawes, of Dedham. Their eighth

child, Jacob3 Pond, b. in Wrentham, No- vember 22, 1702, was Deacon of the first church in Wrentham. May 11, 1726, he was m. in Boston to Abigail Heath. Deborah4 Pond, ninth and youngest child of Deacon Jacob3 Pond and his wife Abigail, was b. No- vember 1, 1747. On October 17, 1765, she m. (according to the Pond Genealogy, by Ed- ward D. Harris) "John Hyde," but who was undoubtedly John5 Ide, of Rehoboth. Under the name Ide in the Rehoboth record of mar- riage intentions appear the names Jon -- , Jr., of Rehoboth, and Deborah Pond, of Wren- tham, April 5, 1765. Benjamin Pond, a brother of Deborah, m. in 1769 Hannah Ide (evidently Hannah b. at Rehoboth in 1750, daughter of Ichabod and Mary, and. younger sister of John), and after the Revolution they are said to have removed to Castleton, Vt.

Asquires and Abigail (Ide) Aldrich had eight children, as above recorded. Patience, b. in St. Johnsbury, Vt., March 2, 1801, m. Sanford Thayer, of St. Johnsbury, April 30, 1829, and d. in St. Johnsbury, April 24, 1880.
