FORMATION OF A CHURCH .- During the ministry of Mr. Pember a church was organized, separately from the society. Before that time, the communion was administered to all of the congregation who chose to partake of it. This was the usage of the writer of this, who believed then, and believes still, that this manner of observance was consistent Uni- versalism. With those who conscientiously think that the " covenant of grace " is limited in its scope, a separate organization within the society is entirely consistent, and may be considered as a logical neces- sity. But where it is held that the covenant em- braces all souls, all may be communicants, if for the time they choose so to be : and if then sincere, (and who shall judge them ?) the observance is one good act ;- and of any insincerity I never saw uor heard of any sign or token.

When, in 1840, I stated these views of the commu- nion service to the venerable Father Jones, then the minister of the Universalist Society at Gloucester Harbor, he said that he entirely agreed with me.

A DEACON DESCENDED FROM DEACONS .- The late Mr. John Goodhue, Sr., who officiated for some years as one of the Universalist deacons, a sincere and blameless man, was a descendant of William Good- hue, a deacon of the first church organized in Che- bacco, whose brother Joseph and father William had both been deacons of the first church in Ipswich.

The preachers to this society have been as follows : Bis Augustus ( I. Arnold, from the spring of 1837 9B carly in 1-10, when he became minister of a I'ni- Vrloy par -h in Fall River ; the writer of this sketch, from May, 1510, 0. November, 1814, and again from M.s, 1502 toJuly Ist when he resigned and en- red mn we or business ; Rev. II. H. Baker, for 1. t il Dutton for about the same period ; Rev. I wasone l'autred &, for one season ; Rev. S. Goff and Kas J H fuller, for about two years each : Rev. F. F. LA Brs. O.t Wark, for a short time; Rev. ( sum of one thousand five hundred dollars, which was 1, 1. Pember for nearly four years ; Rev. Benton

A VALUABLE BEQUEST BY A GOODHUE DESCEND- ANT .- About the year 1845, the society received, by the will of Mrs. Betsey Story, wife of Jacob Story, the gift of a large traet of land within the township; But For years ; Rev Willard Spaulding, one year ; } which, after having been let for twenty years or more, was sold for a large sum, a part of which was expended in remodelling and fresco-painting the in- terior of the church-edifice, leaving as a balance the added to the society fund.

Before becoming the second wife of Mr. Story, the donor was the widow of Col. William Andrews. Her maiden name was Goodhue, and she was of the same lineage as those of that surname before mentioned.

METHODIST SOCIETY AND CHURCH .- In February, 1874, a church of the Methodist Episcopal denomina- tion was instituted here by Rev. Daniel Sherman, Presiding Elder. A society was also organized at or about the same time, and both are in a prosperous condition. They hold their public religious services in the Century Chapel.

The preachers, who, according to the established usage of that religious body, are customarily ap- pointed by the Conference for a period of two years, have thus far been as follows ; Revs. A. J. Pettigrew, Abner Gregory, Wm. Merrill, Frank T. Pomeroy, E. Il. MeKenney, Walter Wilkie, George E. Hill, O. E. Poland and Putnam Webber.

The Pequot War-King Phillip's War-Narragunset-Mr. Wise's First Chaplaincy-Later Conflicts with the Indians-Hostilities with Spain- Siege of Louisburg-French War-Expedition to Fort Ticonderoga- Mention of Cleaveland Brothers-Dr. Prince - War of the Revolution- One Chebacco Man Killed and one Wounded on Bunker Hill-Col. Burnham's Autobiography-Spartan Mothers of Chebacco-War of 1812-War of the Rebellion-Surnames of Early Settlers-Commissioned Oficers from Essex, who served as such in War-Chaplains-Officers and Privates-" The Rank and File."

THE PEQUOT WAR. - The soldier-record of Essex commences at an early date. In 1637 John Burnham and his brother, Thomas Burnham, Robert Crosse and Andrew Story were drafted to serve in the war against the Pequot Indians ; and in consideration of the service thus rendered, they each received, two years later, a grant of land of several acres.

This was, no doubt, the beginning of the bounty- land system in this country, as a reward for military service.

1643 .- John Burnham and his brother Thomas were again soldiers, this year, in an expedition against the Indians.

IN KING PHILIP'S WAR .- As well as in the im- mediately preceding hostilities, this place was repre- sented, though to what extent precisely, as regards the number of men engaged, we are not definitely in- formed.

John Bennet was one of those killed at Deerfield, Massachusetts, in September, 1675. He was a son of Henry Bennet, and grand-son of John Perkins, the first permanent settler of that name in Ipswich, who was the ancestor of all of that surname now re- siding in Essex. Henry Bennet had a farm, of which the southern boundary was Castle Neck Creek, and

a part of the dividing line between Essex and Ips- wich. He also owned land upon Hog Island, upon which his son Jacob lived, and which Jacob's widow and children sold to Captain Thomas Choate.

John Bennet was a member of the company from Essex County, styled, in the New England histories, " The Flower of Essex," which was commanded by Captain Thomas Lathrop, of Beverly, and which was surprised by Indians, at Deerfield, at the locality ever since known as " Bloody Brook ;" where he and most of his command were slaughtered. The com- pany numbered eighty-four. Seventy-six of them were killed, having been ambuscaded by about seven hundred Indians, said to have been led by King Philip in person.

Captain Lathrop's widow married Joseph Grafton ; and in 1683, being again a widow, she became the third wife of Deacon William Goodhue, of Ipswich, the first settler of that name in that place, and father of Deacon William Goodhue, jr., of Chebacco, as well as first ancestor in America of the Goodhues generally throughout this region. Her maiden name was Bethiah Rea, and she was of the same lineage as that of my great-great-grandmother Prince, whose maiden name was Sarah Rea, Both were descended from Daniel Rea, whose name, with those of John Endicott and Hugh Peters, is signed to the covenant of the First Church in Salem.

NARRAGANSET .- Of the ninety-five names borne upon the roll of the company of Captain Joseph Gardner, of Salem, organized to join the expedition against Narraganset, were those of Robert Andrews, Zaccheus Perkins, John Prince, Samuel Rust, Sam- uel Story, and Joseph Soames. Rust and Story were from Chebacco. Andrews was probably of Chebacco kinship. Prince and Soames were from Gloucester. Prince was a kinsman of my first ancestor in this country, who was an early settler of Salem, where he had a grant of land. Andrews and Perkins were en- listed from Topsfield. The latter was a grandson of John Perkins, (Ist), of Ipswich, and a nephew of John Perkins, jr., of Chebacco.

This company was mustered at Dedham, Massachu- setts, December 10, 1675, and marched to the general rendezvous of the forces at a place called Wickford in Rhode Island. Captain Gardner, Robert Andrews, Joseph Soames, and six others of the company, were subsequently killed in battle in the Narraganset Swamp; and the command devolved upon the lieu- tenant, William Hathorne, of Salem. 1

! Son ef the Major William Hatborne, who came, in 1630, in the Arbella, with Winthrop, and who was the ancestor of Nathaniel Haw- thorne, the distinguished author, who uniformly inserted the letter w in the surname, which had sometimes been so written in England, and was so spelled by Governor Endicott, in his will, in 1659, where he designated certain real estate as having been purchased by him of "Captain Hawthorne." Rev. Dr. Wm. Bentley spelled the name Harthorne. Of this Wm. Hathorne, or Hawthorne, senior, the writer of this sketch of Essex is a lineal descendant.

HISTORY OF ESSEX COUNTY. MASSACHUSETTS.

MR WIL. FIRST CHAPLAINCY .- Rev. John Wis officiated tor a short time as chaplain, in this war, a companying some forces sent from Connecti- 00. At the time of his appointment to the chap- money, In was preaching ig Branford, Conn., where Le was urgently invited to settle This was tive Fears before he commenced preaching in thela co.

LATER CONFLICTS WITH THE INDIANS. - Upon a returrenee of Indian hostilities about the year 1708 Chowaeco furnished its proportionate number of the troops required ; and in detachments of soldiers for defense at various points, and for aggressive service, this place was from time to time represented, al- though minute particular- in this respect are not now Rt possible.

Rev. Benjamin Choate, a native of this place, and son of John Choate, the first settler of that rame, was for some time stationed as chaplain at the garrison in Deerfield, in this State; where, nearly thirty years before, Lathrop and his men were captured and de- stroyed by the savages.

HOSTILITIES WITH SPAIN. - Among the officers in a military expedition to the Spanish West Indies, in the year 1740, was Major Ammi Ruhani Wise, son of Rev. John Wise, and a native of this place. It is not improbable that others also from Chebacco ac- companied that expedition, though we have no record of their names.

THE SIEGE OF LOUISBURG .- In this famous ex- pelition, under Pepperell and Warren, in the year 1715, were several men from this place. In the Eighth Massachusetts Regiment were Colonel John Choate, Lieutenant Thomas Choate, Jr., William Andrews, Varon Foster (maternal grandfather of Hon, Rufus Choate) and Daniel Giddings.

On the roll of Captain Prescott's company, of Col- onel Moore's regiment, was the name of Jonathan Choate, undoubtedly a descendant of the first settler of that surname in Chebacco, whether he was at that time a resident of this place, or had previously emi- grated to New Hampshire ; from which State several ot that reginuent were enrolled. Among other sol- dieis in this campaign were Abraham Martin and four others of his surname, whose residence, however, is not designated.

FRENCH WAR-EXPEDITION TO FORT TICONDE- 100% In the company commanded by Captain Ste- Theh Whipple, in Colonel Jonathan Bagley's regi- Ut, which was the third of the regiments raised by The colors of Massachusetts to operate against Can- .. nul woch partu pated in the disastrous cam- porte Lake trarre, in 1758, three of the officers,- hattest od mene listedants and the ensign, Na- than Burnham, Stephen Low and Sammuel Knowlton, Spegne the dream, Res. John terveland, were from thebacco liveid the privates of the company, thatthe name of furnheur and one each of the Lah et Andrews, I -Grand M. r-ha ], and doubtless ot , wer things from this place.

The two lieutenants, Nathan Burnham and Stephen Low, were fatally wounded in the attack upon Ticon- deroga, July Sth.

The following letter of Lieutenant Burnham was written from the western part of Ma-sachusetts, to his wife, while he was on his way to the seat of war:

" HARLEY, June 7, 1758.

"TO MY DEARLY-BELOVED WIFE:

"I hope, through Divine goodness, you are in health, as I am at this time, and 1 pray God to be with you, and preserve you and our dear children from all evil. My duty to Mother Choate. My love to all my friends. We came into town Inst Sabbath day, abont two o'clock, and billeted the company at private houses, and we are very kindly enter- tnined at the widow Porter's. Her husband was a member of the General Court about thirty years, Yesterday the captain, I, and Lieutenant how, went over Connecticut River to Northampton, to see about the affair, and returned at night. We expect to go over to Northampton to-morrow, to take seven days' provisions, to march near to Albany.

"I remain your loving husband,

" NATHAN BURNHAM.

« P. S .- 1 should be glad to hear from you. I have hud blisters on one foot, but they are better. Colonel Bagley came to town yesterday. Colonel Dooty's regiment is coming in, and it is supposed both regiments are to march together. We have twelve of our own guns, and had twenty-two at Worcester, and other companies are much so. It is sup- posed there is no great danger. The arms are at Albany."

This letter was directed "To Nathan Burnham, of Chebacco, in Ipswich."

One month later, his wife received the following letter :

"MRS. BURNHAM: I send you these lines to let you know the heavy news that you have to hear from the cump, and I pray God give you grace and strength to hold up under such heavy tidings. The truth is your husband, our lientenant, Nathan Burnham, being in the fight at the narrows of Ticonderoga, July the Sth, 1758, received a ball in the bowels, which proved mortal. He came to me and told me that he was wounded, and that he would soon be in eternity. I desired him to retrent down the hill. I followed him, and found some help to carry him off the ground, namely, James Andrews, John Foster and Jeremiah Burn- ham. We carried him that night four miles to our boats. The doctor did what he could, but vain was the help of man. Next day, being the ninth day upon our passage up the lake, about eleven o'clock, after many heavenly expressions and prayers, he departed this life, and. ] believe, made a good exchange. Please tell Mrs. Low the same heavy news. Stephen Low, being in the same fight, was, without doubt, shot dead on the spot. We had not the opportunity to bring off our dead.

' NEHEMIAH BURNHAM.

" Lieutenant Burnham desired me to take care of some things that be had with him, which I will do in the best manner I can. Our Captain Whipple is wounded in his left thigh. I hope he will soon be out again."

This Lieutenant Nathan Burnham was a son of Thomas, grandson of John and great-grandson of Thomas, the second of the three Burnham brothers, early settlers. His wife's maiden name was Hannah Choate.

The following is from Roderick HE. Burnham's no- tice of Nathan Burnham's army service, in his " Burnham's Geneoloygy," published in 1879:

"Tradition has it that before leaving for the war he took his sword ou his hand to try the metal, and it broke. Turning to his wife, he Bais, ' I shall never come back.' He went on, but returned to pray with his family before taking final leave."

Chaplain Cleaveland, in his army journal, under date of July 9th, says :

" This evening Lieut. Burnham (Nathan) was buried, having died up- on the water, of his wound. I understood he inquired much for me,

I181

aud desired to see me before he died ; but I was in another bateau, and could not be found, the lake being full of them."

THE SURGEON MENTIONS THE CLEAVELAND BROTHERS .- Dr. Caleb Rea, of Danvers, the surgeon of the regiment, kept a journal 1 during the entire campaign, in which he thus alludes to John Cleave- land, for whom he evidently had a personal admira- tion, and also to his brother Ebenezer, who was like- wise an army chaplain, in another regiment, Colonel Preble's.

" 12th .- This day Mr. E. Cleaveland returned to Greenbush in order to proceed home with at least half a bushell of Letters."

" 18th .- Sabbatb. Mr. Cleaveland preach'd in ye afternoon from Math. 3, 8, in which he showed what Repentance is and what ve fruits yt evi- dence it, and urged it nuo ye Amlitory as specially necessary to those engaged in a martial enterprise. There was a general attendance of ye Regiment on Divine Service, and I doubt not but many seriously af- fected."

HE MENTIONS DR. PRINCE .- In the same journal Dr. Rea thus alludes to my great-uncle, who was the surgeon of another ·regiment, in the same cam- paign :

July Ist .- " We arrived at ye Lake an hour by Sun, and Col. Ruggles very kindly treated ye Field and Staff Officers, as Col. Nichols also did at ye half way brook between F. E.2 and ye Lake, where he had been sometime stationed and had got a Piquated Garrison ; here I borrow'd some medicine of Doctr Prince, viz. Pul. Rhei one dr., C'rm Tartar one oz., Land. Liquid one oz., Dinscord one oz., Pil Cochia one oz., Pul. Corte one oz."

July 3d .- " I this day delivered one Johannes 3 to Major Gage to keep till my return from ye expeditn or deliver my executor in case I returu not. Present Doctr Prince and Capt. Moors."

July 18th. - " Paid Dr. Prince ye medicine I borrowed of him ye first instant at Half-way Brook."

Dr. Rae was manifestly of careful habits, and punctiliously exact in keeping memoranda of indebt- edness. As far as I have been able to trace the rela- tionship, it appears that he and Dr. Prince were sec- ond cousins.

The discipline of the English army at that time was not only striet, but terribly severe. Dr. Rea re- cords a case of hanging for theft of a few buckles, though it was said that the man hung had stolen be- fore. This is probably the same case mentioned by Chaplain Cleaveland in his army journal. For com- paratively trivial offences men were severely whipped.

Captain Caleb Low, a native of Chebacco (an un- cle of Colonel Joshua), served in the English army at Ticonderoga. In the Revolutionary War he was promoted to the rank of major; at which time he was a resident of Danvers.

In 1659 Mr. Cleaveland, as chaplain, accompanied his regiment to Cape Breton, where it had been ordered for garrison duty in the famous fortress of Louisburg, which had been captured from the French. Here he stayed a few months, until the taking of Quebec, when he returned to Chebacco.

WAR OF THE REVOLUTION .- This place furnished, in all, for various periods of service in the army dur- ing the long Revolutionary struggle, more than one hundred men. Crowell's " History of Essex " gives a list of one hundred and five names, accompanied by the remark that "it is not to be supposed that the roll is a complete one." To this number may be added one more, a soldier who died in a military prison in Nova Scotia, making one hundred and six, at the least.

Seven men from this place, who bore the surnames of early settlers, were in the battle of Bunker's Hill, viz. : James Andrews, Benjamin Burnham, Francis Burnham, John Burnham, Nehemiah Choate, Aaron Perkins and Jesse Story, Jr.

ONE CHEBACCO MAN KILLED AND ONE WOUNDED AT BUNKER HILL .- The last-named was killed in the engagement. He was a brother of the late Ephraim Story, Sr., and uncle of Hermon Story and John Cleaveland Story. Francis Burnham was wounded at the same action. 1 was told by his sister, Mrs. Hardy, who died forty-five years ago, that she had heard him say that before the battle began he felt frightened ; but when young Story, who stood by his side, was shot down, the sight of his blood made him desperate in the determination to avenge his death ; and during the remainder of the battle he had no fear.

lle was a brother of Capt. Nathaniel Burnham, the grandfather of Luther, Calvin, Nehemiah and Na- thaniel Burnham, of Essex, and of Dr. Cæleb Burn- ham, of Lynn.

Two others from this place, Aaron Low and Samuel Procter, were employed during the night pre- ceding the battle in making cartridges. Mr. Low was the grandfather of Aaron Low, Esq., and Warren Low, Jr. He was one of the seven from this place who were with the forces sent to suppress Shay's Re- bellion ; when his rank was that of sergeant. Sub- sequently he was recorded as lieutenant.

In the army of Gen. Gates, at the defeat of Bur- goyne, were twenty-eight soldiers from Chebacco, and five of them were among those detailed to guard his forces, after their surrender, while they were on their way to Charlestown, Mass., and during their encamp- ment there for a short time prior to their embarkation for England.

Among the officers from Chebacco, Col. Jonathan Cogswell served throughout the war, and won honor- able distinction. When at the battle of White Plains, N. Y., Rev. John Cleaveland was the chaplain of his regiment. Major John Burnham (a descendant in the fifth generation from the first John, the eldest of the three boy-immigrants) had a varied and eventful ex- perience. lle was a lieutenant at the battle of Bunker's Hill, when two men of his company were killed and three wounded. He was also in the battles upon Long Island, and was with the forces that

Il was with Washington at Valley Forge in the hard winter of 1777 ; served, at different times, under (r'n' rals Greene and Lafayette; was highly compli- mentol upon the fine appearance of his regiment, by Baron Von Steuben, while inspecting it; and was spoken of as an officer in strong terms of commenda- tion, by tien. Benjamin Pierce, father of President Iranklin Pierce, and by C'ol. John Brooks, afterwards Governor of Massachusetts.

He was among the early settlers of Marietta, Ohio, and commanded a military company of sixty persons organized for the protection of the infant settle- ment.

He removed to Derry, N. H .; where he died, in 1-43, at the age of ninety-four years.

Major C'aleb Low, of Danvers, who served as one of the line officers in Washington's army, and was pres- ent at the execution of the British spy, Major Andre, was a native of Chebacco, and had two brothers in this place, who also served in the army of the Revo- lution, rendering efficient service to their country. They were uncles of the late Col. Joshua, Capt. David, Thomas, Jeremiah, t'aleb, Jonathan and Josiah ; all residents of Essex.

Capt. David Low was commander of the Chebacco Company, which was the third company of the Third Regiment of Essex County Militia.

Other commissioned officers from Chebaceo were as follows: Lieut. Samuel Burnham; Lieut. John (''raveland, Jr., and his brother, Assistant Surgeon Parker Cleaveland ; Capt. Francis Perkins, and Capt. Willom Story. Dr. Cleaveland's rank may have been «povalent to that of lieutenant, if the same rule of gradation now in vogue was adopted then; unless he may have been employed as a contract-surgeon, as were many in our latest war, whose rank, if any, was mer ly honorary, and in effect and significance, though not technically the same, was somewhat like that of a rank and title by brevet.

Some years after the Revolutionary War, he removed to salisbury, Mass., where he died in 1823, at the age of eighty-five.

COL. BURNHAM'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY .- In 1814, he wrote an autobiographical sketeh, which is decidedly interesting, and brings vividly before us the scenes and events and some of the prominent personages of his time. His allusion to Rev. Theophilus Picker- ing, whom, in his boyhood, he heard preach; the inci- dent of an earthquake-shock during the services at the church in Chebaceo; the gratification of General Washington, on the arrival of the New Hampshire reinforcements, with his complimentary exclamation which gives us a momentary glimpse of the by-play of Washington's mind, on one of the few occasions when he unbent from his usual stateliness of manner and became slightly jocular,-and the writer's natrete and transparency of character,-all render the narrative highly entertaining as a specimen of life-like natu- ralness in personal deseription.

The title-page (which may have been written by another hand, possibly that of the printer), is as fol- lows :

" The Life of Col. Jonathan Burnham, now living in Salisbury, Mass .; being a Narrative of his long and useful Life. Containing a Recital of bighly interesting Incidents relative to the Revolutionary Services and Private Life of this distinguished Soldier and Friend of the departed and beloved George Washington. Portsmouth : Printed and sold at S. Whid- den's Printing Office, Spring Hill. May, 1814."

Copies of this narrative are probably now very rare. I know of none but the one I have here transcribed, which I found among the valuable historieal accumu- lations of the late Peter Force, in the Congressional Library at Washington.

Its insertion here, in full, is deemed appropriate, as a part of the blended military history and biography of Essex.

A HISTORY of tbe MUST REMARKABLE THINGS OF MY LIFE.

I, JONATHAN BURNHAM, the fourth, was born at thebacco, June the 9th, 1738, where I saw many remarkable things. The first, I went with my parents a Sunday morning to hear the Rev. Mr. Pickering preach, and as I got to the meeting-house the minister and people ran out for fear the house would fall on them, for the earth did shake, and after sometime the minister says to the people, we will go in, for we are as safe there as anywhere, and the whole of them went in and were very attentive to hear him pray and preach, and the people were greatly ularmed and were concerned what they should do to be saved, and went from house to house to pray with and for one unother, and the Lord sent two brothers, Mr. John and Ebenezer Cleaveland, and the people Imilt a house and settled John Cleaveland, whose labors were greutly blessed, for in one year ninety persons were taken into his church ; and many more wonderful things happened ; the throat distemper killed many of my mates and many little children ; and two other things : I merely es- caped being drowned, but the Lord preserved me from a watery grave ; and many more wonderful things I remembered ; and when I was but fifteen years oldl I went to live at Ipswich town with Mr. Sammel Russ, tu Jearn n blacksmith's trade, and was bound to him, - a good old man that built his house upon a rock and brought his family up in the nur- ture und admonition of the Lord, -where I lived till I was nineteen years of age, and then I bought my time, and enlisted in the service of King George, the second, and flung my park and marched to Fort Ed- ward, where I slept sweetly ; and the next day I flung my pack and idlowed my colonel seven miles to Brook Fort, half-way to Lake George, where my colonel was ordered to hult and keep that fort, and
