boro, Framingham and Boston. Shortly afterward he bought out the other heirs; when he secured it it was virtually a farm. Mr. Shattuck immediately laid it out in lots, laying out and improving streets. In fact Mr. Shattuck developed that part of the city known as Brittan Square. He built many houses which he sold, retaining the old Brittan home, which he has remodeled.

Mr. Shattuck has built up in Worcester an ex- tensive trucking business under the name of the Worcester Truck Company. His place of business is at the corner of Commercial and Foster streets. He has the largest and most complete outfit in this section for hauling heavy freight and machinery. He has made a specialty of handling heavy and difficult freight.

Mr. Shattuck is well known in Masonic circles and is a member of the Athelstan Lodge and Hiram Council. He is one of the most active and efficient Republicans in the city. Although he is not himself an office seeker he has always taken an interest in city affairs and the welfare of the party to which he belongs. He served two terms in the city council from ward two, city of Worcester.

THE BRITTAN FAMILY. John Brittan (1), who settled in Southboro as early as 1724, was the ancestor of Josiah Brittan Shattuck and also of his wife. John Brittan probably descended from the James Britton, of Weymouth and Woburn, Massachusetts, whose son James died in Woburn in 1655, but the connection has not been traced. John Brittan, the founder of the Worcester county family, was probably born about 1680. He settled in Marlboro in 1724 and apparently lived there two years, or else his farm was near the Southboro line and he had the births of his children recorded first in Marlboro.

His first wife Elizabeth died in Southboro, Massa- chusetts, May 31. 1736. He married (second) Naomi Gibbs, a widow, October 25, 1738. He made his will, in Southboro, September 20, 1758, confirm- ing therein a marriage contract made with his wife. She survived him. He died in Southboro, May 31. 1736. His will is on file at the Worcester probate court, where it was proved in 1760. The children of John and Elizabeth Brittan were: Samuel, born about 1718; Elizabeth, married, January 7. 1741-2, Jacob Pike, and later Fiske; she was living in 1758; Jane, born in Marlboro, September 16, 1724, living in 1758; William, born in Marlboro, September 16, 1726, died June 2, 1736, at South- boro; Mary, born at Southboro, May 25, 1729, mar- ried James Bridges; both living in 1758: James, born in Southboro, September 5, 1731, died May 29, 1736; John, probably not the youngest, living in 1758, married Esther Newton, daughter of Edward Newton, April 14, 1762, resided at Northboro.

(II) Samuel Brittan, son of John Brittan (1), was born about 1718, place unknown. He was ex- ecutor of his father's will and was probably the eldest child. He married Dorothy Walkup, Decem- ber 15, 1740, in Southboro. He settled in South- boro. He is mentioned at least once in the Fram- ingham records, but Framingham adjoins South-

boro. The date was 1737. He removed to Rutland, Massachusetts, and died there 1783.

The children of Samuel and Dorothy (Walkup) Brittan were: Elizabeth, born November 15, 1742; William, born April 10, 1744; Samuel, born August 22, 1746, married Ruth Parker, of Shrewsbury, Oc- tober 4, 1768; he was a Tory and went into the British army and never returned; she married (sec- ond), November 14, 1784, Aaron Wheeler ; Dorothy, born September 5, 1750; Hannah, born August 23, 1755, married Peter Adams, at Rutland, Massachu- setts, July 6, 1778; Nathan, born November 30, 1758, died September 6, 1761.

(111) William Brittan, son of Samuel Brittan (2), was born in Southboro, Massachusetts, April IO, 1744. He married Lydia Whitney, of Shrews- bury, November 3, 1767, in Shrewsbury. They set- tled in Oakham and Rutland, Massachusetts. The children were born in Rutland, viz .: Sally, born April 8, 1769; Nathan, baptized February 3, 1771 ; Josiah, baptized August 9, 1773, imarried Eunice Allen, of Barre (intentions published June 23,) 1819; William, baptized August 18, 1777; Dollie, baptized September 7, 1779; William, baptized No- vember 23, 1783.

(IV) Josiah Brittan, Sr., son of William Brit- tan (3), was born in Rutland, Massachusetts, Au- gust 9, 1773. He married (first) at Adams, and (second) at Barre, July 7, 1819, Eunice Allen, of Barre. His children were by the first marriage. He settled in Rutland, where he was a farmer and hotel keeper. In his old age he came to Worcester and died there January 2, 1844, at the age of seventy- three. The children of Josiah Brittan were: Josiah, Susan Adams, married Calvin G. Howe, of Rut- land; William, died young ; Simeon, married Mary Ball, of Barre; Lyman, married Elizabeth Wesson, of Barre.

(V) Josiah Brittan, Jr., son of Josiah Brittan (4), was born in Rutland, Massachusetts. He mar- ried, August 25, 1834, Sarah Maria Hulbert, at Somers, Connecticut. She died March 17, 1887. He died at Worcester, April, 36, 1863. They removed from Rutland to Worcester, living first at Tatnuck, where he made bricks. Later he bought the farm at Brittan Square, since known as the Brittan Place He established several brick kilns there and made the first brick in Worcester. Ile furnished the brick for the first insane hospital in Worcester on

Summer street. He also first stored ice in Worces- ter for use during the summer. Ile was the pro- prietor of the old Worcester House, which stood on the present site of the Bay State House, and Mr. and Mrs. Shattuck have some of the silverware and furniture used in the hotel. He acquired a large amount of real estate in Worcester and was counted one of the leading citizens in his day. His farm has since become very valuable as the city has grown in that direction.

THE BRITTAN HOUSE. The handsome colonial mansion in Brittan square, known for sixty years as the Brittan Place, has an interesting history.

In his P.eminiscenses Caleb Wall says of it: "On the east side of Lincoln street, just south of Adams square ( now Brittan square), Lydia Chadwick kept a hotel many years subsequent to 1797 in the large dwelling afterwards owned and occupied by Josiah Brittan."

The building has been greatly improved and re- modeled by its present owner, Josiah B. Shattuck and the location has been changed a few rods, but the building itself is substantially the same as it was before the revolution. This farm was originally owned by John Brooks and others. John Chadwick

346

WORCESTER COUNTY

was among the early settlers of Worcester. He came from Watertown, Massachusetts. The name was not spelled Chadwick at first, usually Chaddock or Chaddick, and occasionally Shaddock and Shad- dick. It is difficult to prove that the name Chadwick and Shattuck belong to distinct families. Daniel Shattuck, who married a daughter of Digory Sar- gent, of Worcester, and lived here several years (1719 to 1723), was a descendant of William Shat- tuck, of Watertown. But John Chadwick was from Watertown. Ile came about 1740. His son Thomas was born in Worcester in 1741. He bought land first of Mathew Gray, Jr., in 1741. He bought land of Joshua Winslow in 1745 and of Daniel Heywood in 1751. The forty acres owned by John Brooks, of Colman street, London, he bought of his attorneys, John Box and Benjamin Austin, in 1750. There were buildings on this lot. But the present house was probably not built at that time. If John Chad- wick built it the house is one of the oldest in Wor- cester. It is certainly one of the best of the old houses. The walls are brick lined and the building extremely well preserved.

John Chadwick died in 1768 and the place passed to his son, David Chadwick. David married Lydia Wait, July 29, 1759. He was born at Waltham, May 4, 1737, and died in Worcester in 1794. Lydia, the widow, kept the hotel as stated by Mr. Wall, but there may have been a hotel there before the death of her husband. It seems unlikely that David Chadwick should have built so large a house for his own use. The tradition that Washington slept in the house may be true as he certainly would have passed by the house on his way to Boston. It is thought that the house was built by David Chadwick about 1770. It remained in the Chadwick family until February 16, 1822, when David Chadwick sold it to William Eaton, a relative. The estate then comprised one hundred and thirty acres. Eaton sold the farm in IS26 for $6,400 to George W. Brooks. The latter in the same year sold it to Alfred Dwight Foster, attorney, and he sold it to Josiah Brittan, Jr., June 27, 1833. The title was held by Brittan and Abel Drury, his partner in the brick business. The farm adjoined the Dr. William Paine farm and is described in the deed as being about a mile from the court house. After the death of Josiah Brittan, the farm was occupied by his widow, Sarah MI. Brittan, and after her death in ISS7 it reverted to Josiah Brittan Shattuck, grandson of Josiah Brittan.

THE HOWE FAMILY. John Howe, or How (1), as it was spelled until recently, was the emi- grant ancestor of Mrs. Josiah Brittan Shattuck. He was the son of Jolin How, of Warwickshire, Eng- land. llis father was descended, it is supposed. from John Howe, of Hodunhall and connected with Sir Charles Howe, of Lancaster, during the reign of Charles I. He was an carly settler at Water- town and was in Sudbury in 1639. He was made a freeman in 1640. He died in Marlborough, Massa- chusetts, in 1687, and his wife died about the same time. (For fuller particulars see sketch of D. A. Howe and the Howe family in this work.)

(II) Samuel Howe, son of John Howe (1), was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts, October 20, 1642. He married, June 5, 1663, Martha Bent, of Sud- bury, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of John Bent, of Sudbury. She died, 1680, and he married (second) Sarah and had other children. He was a colonel in the military service. (For chil- dren see sketch of D. A. Howe and Howe Family in this work.)

(III) Moses Howe, one of the younger sons of Samuel llowe (2), was born in Sudbury or Con-

cord, Massachusetts, 1696, and died in Rutland, Massachusetts, February 16, 1750, in his fifty-sixth year. He married Eunice , about 1718. In 1741 he lost his wife and three daughters by some contagious sickness. He married (second) Hannah Heald, of Coneord, Massachusetts, September 9, 1742, in Concord. She died June 7, 1762. He had ten children by the first marriage and one by the second. Moses and Eunice went to Brookfield for a. short time, removing with friends and relatives to Rutland, where, September 23, 1719, she became the mother of the first white male child born in Rut- land, receiving as a reward for this distinction a grant of one hundred acres of land. Moses was a proprietor, having first lot No. 50, which he seems to have exchanged for lot No. 8, owned later by Dr. Frink. Moses Howe, the history of Rutland tells us, was for many years an active and useful member of the young settlement at Rutland. He was select- man, town treasurer, justice of the peace, assessor and lieutenant in the militia. In 1741 he was an en- sign. His son Jonas, by his second wife, was the aneestor of many families living in the eastern part. of Rutland.
