HON. HIRAM NASII.

With the first settlers of New Haven the records disclose the name of Thomas Nash, who came to this country with his family from London, England, landing July 26, 1637, at Bos- ton, Mass. From there the following year he removed with the new colony to New Haven. He was a gunsmith by trade, and appears to have been a man of a high order of intellect, and had charge of the armory at New Haven, and manufac- tured and repaired arms for the colony. He died about the year 1658. He had five children. The youngest, Lieut. Timo- thy Nash, was born in Leyden, llolland, in 1626, and came with his father to Boston as given above. Ile married Rebekah Stone, daughter of Rev. Samuel Stone, of Hartford, Conn., in February, 1660. He lived in Hartford, but in the year 1664 removed to Hadley, Mass., where he was a man of in- fluence, having represented his town in the Legislature of Mas- sachusetts in 1690, 1691, and 1695. He died March 13, 1699, in his seventy-third year. His children were twelve in num- ber. Thomas Nash, the eldest son, was born in Hartford, Conn., in 1661. He married, August, 1683, Hannah Coleman, daughter of Deacon John Coleman, of Hatfield, Mass. In 1688 be re- moved from Hadley to Hatfield with his family. He died Jan. 18, 1727. He had a family of five children. The second son, Thomas, was born Feb. 26, 1692, and settled in Hatfield. On the 8th of June, 1727, he married Martha Smith, daughter of Joseph Smith and Canada Waite, his wife; her mother derived the name of Canada from the fact that she was born in Canada while her grandmother was a captive of the Indians. Thomas Nash lived in Hatfield the most of his life, but near its close, or about 1766, he removed with his two sons, John and Elisha, to Williamsburg, Mass., where he died, March 12, 1783, in the eighty-first year of his age. Thomas Nash was one of the thirty members who constituted the church in Williamsburg, July 3, 1771.

Deacon Elisha Nash, his youngest son, was born Oct. 1,

1744, in Hatfield. He married, Aug. 13, 1767, Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Moses and Hannah Smith, of Amherst, Mass.

Deacon Nash was married four times, but his ten children were all hy Elizabeth Smith, his first wife. He was held in high estimation for promptness, honesty, foresight, and prudence, and was ever a prominent man in the town. He died Sept. 15, 1827. His son Elisha, and the father of Ilon. Hiram Nash, whose portrait is given with this sketch, was born March 24, 1778, and married Experience Cleghorn, Nov. 25, 1799. He lived in Williamsburg, Mass., and died May 14, 1846, in the sixty-ninth year of his age.

There were eleven children. Hiram Nash was born Feb. 13, 1809. ITis education was received in the common schools of his native town, and his occupation has always been that of a farmer. He has held many offices in his day, is a man of sound judgment, and has a wide acquaintance. In 1848 he was in the Legislature, and again in 1849, and was chairman of the joint standing committee on agriculture. Was a State Senator in 1858 and 1859.

A fellow-townsman thus speaks of him :

" As a legislative officer, Mr. Nash has always given excel- lent satisfaction to his constituents by the judicious discharge of his duties and by his genial temperament and courteous address." Was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1853.

In 1862 was appointed United States assistant assessor of internal revenue.

Mr. Nash is independent in politics, with anti-slavery and Democratie tendencies. He married Lucinda Hitchcock, daughter of Levi Hitchcock, of Williamsburg, Sept. 12, 1832, and by this union there were born to him two children, -Elnor L. and Sophia L., both of whom were married to Lester W. Carr, of Williamsburg, the former being deceased.

Mr. Nash lives on the old homestead, which was owned and occupied by his father and grandfather before him.

ELNATHAN GRAVES.

Deacon Elnathan Graves was born in Williams- burg, May 20, 1813. His father was Elnathan Graves, and between him and his paternal Amer -. ican ancestor there are the following generations : Perez, Elnathan, John, and Isaac. Thomas Graves came to this country from Scotland in 1640, set- tling in Stratford, Conn. From there be removed to Hatfield, Mass. in 1645, and died in 1662. Dea. Graves' grandfather, Perez Graves, was an officer in the Revolutionary war, and furnished

the government with large quantities of salt- petre.

Deacon Graves has held many offices, having been selectman and assessor for fourteen years ; was in the Legislature one year ; two years president of the Hampshire, Franklin, and Hampden Agricultural Society ; chosen by the same society, for a term of three years, a delegate to State Board of Agriculture. In 1868 was elected special county commis- sioner, and again in 1871. In 1874 was elected

county commissioner, and now holds the office, having been re-elected in 1877. He is a member of the First Congregational Church in Williams- burg, and in 1876 was elected deacon.

Upon the organization of the Haydenville Sav- ings-Bank, he was chosen one of the trustees ; was elected president of the same institution in 1878, and again in 1879.

Deacon Graves has followed farming as a busi- ness. Was educated in the common schools. He

married, in 1834, Mary Sanderson, daughter of Elijah Sanderson, of Whately. By this union he had three children,-Henry Lord, Collins, and Nathan Sanderson,-all living in Williams- burg. Mrs. Graves died in March, 1846. In 1847 he married his second wife, Mary P. Clapp, daughter of Bella P. Clapp, of Williams- burg, and two children were born to them,-Emily Williston, who died December, 1877, and Freddie who died in March, 1857.

Recapitulation .- Williamsburg, 57; Skinnerville, 4; Hay- denville, 24; Leeds, 51; total, 13G.

THE LOSS OF PROPERTY.

The value of the property swept away from the Williams- burg street was estimated at the time at $100,000, not in- cluding the damage to the meadow-land or to the water- privilege. There were 25 houses carried away between the upper part of the village and the depot, together with the Spellman button-factory and the Adams flouring-mill.

At Skinnerville the silk-factory and the tenement-houses, with nearly all that constituted the village, were gone; at Haydenville the great brass-works factory and many build- ings besides, together with dwelling-houses. The entire dam- age is difficult to estimate. It has been described as destroy- ing " a third of the town," and perhaps correctly.

THE INVESTIGATION.

The result of the coroner's inquest may be said to have fixed the responsibility, not upon any one party, but upon several. 1st. The Legislature should never have permitted the creation of reservoirs in the State without more rigid restric- tions. 2d. The mill-owners attempted too much economy in the execution of the work,-they wanted a safe dam, but they desired to have it built for as small a sum of money as possible, -and the superintendence during the building was not close enough. There was no one man who was solely responsible for a steady and persistent oversight of the construction and firmness to compel contractors to do the work well. Several officers seem to have been in charge, and each supposed the other was attending to it, while none of them really were exercising the vigilance required. 3d. The contractors un- doubtedly did faulty work. The ground was not properly · cleared ; the best cement was not used ; stones of the proper size were not put in; and public sentiment evidently settled its severest censure upon them. Finally, the dam was not thoroughly built; but it is believed by many that it would never have given way, had it not been for two special reasons.

One citizen living near, who saw the progress of the work very often, states that a spring of water was found, which was not properly guarded against in the subsequent construction. The workmen placed a barrel there, and let it fill for use. When the dam was carried up higher, this was simply covered up and left. It is stated that the barrel may be seen in the ruins at the present time. This spring was the point of satu- ration that damaged all the eastern part of the lower earth- bank, and the point at which the mass that Cheney saw move out became loosened on the morning of May 16th.

Again, the waste-weir was intended to keep the water about two feet below the crest of the dam, so that the earth-cover- ing of the wall would not be saturated. It is a common remark in Williamsburg that Gov. Hayden was always fear- ful as to the safety of the reservoir, that he visited it often, and while he lived insisted that the gates must be opened sufficiently to keep the water down to the bottom of the waste- weir,-that water should not be allowed to flow over that to any extent.

At the time of the disaster (some witnesses state it at two or three days previous) the gates had been closed, and the water was flowing over the waste-weir between ONE AND TWO FEET DEEP.

The State assisted the town in repairing roads and bridges by a liberal appropriation of $100,000. It relieved the bur- den that would otherwise have been almost impossible for the people to bear.

MILITARY.

Williamsburg was not settled early enough to share very much in the alarms of Indian wars. But the people found themselves compelled to meet at once the questions involved in the opening Revolution. How well they met the crisis,

how promptly they acted, and how bravely mnen went forward to the post of duty and of danger, appear from the following records :

Sept. 20, 1774 .- Voted that Samuel Fairfield, Elisha Nash, and Russell Kellogg be a committee to meet delegates from other towns at Northampton.

Oct. 3, 1774 .- Voted to send Russell Kellogg to the Pro- vincial Congress at Concord. But there was some hesitation, for October 7th it was voted not to send Russell Kellogg to Concord.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

Another meeting, October 24th, probably upon the same subject, was dissolved without action.

Dec. 26, 1774 .- A committee of inspection was, however, appointed, according to the advice of the Continental Congress: ELISHA NASH, JOSIAH HAYDEN, CAPT. SAMUEL FAIRFIELD, RUSSELL KELLOGG, SAMUEL DAY, ABEL THAYER, W'M. BOD- MAN, JOSIAH DWIGHT, JONATHAN WARNER.

March 13, 1775,-Voted to send Russell Kellogg to the Provincial Congress at Concord. Voted to raise minute-men, to be ready to march at the tap of the drum, without further notice, for the military service of the colony.

March 13, 1775 .- Voted to give minute-men 8 pence per day, and officers 1 shilling 4 pence, and a sergeant to have 1 shilling per day for exercising them- selves in training till the 13th day of March, 1775, and after that, till the middle of May, a soldier is to have 9 pence per day, and an officer to have 1 shilling 6 pence per day; a fifer, drummer, and a sergeant to have 1 shilling a day all the tinie.

There seems to have been some personal feeling, for at one time they voted that no delegate should go to the Provincial Congress, and further voted that " Samuel Fairfield should carry the resolves against Mr. Josiah Dwight being a delegate to the Provincial Congress."

July 15, 1776 .- Voted to raise money to give the nine soldiers an encouragement to join the Continental army in Canada,-namely, £6 to each. The selectmen were appointed a committee to pay them.

Previous to this, in March, 1776, nine soldiers had been furnished to the Continental army. Thirteen soldiers from this town were in the Northern campaign of 1777.

In the Burgoyne campaign, after the British captured Fort Ticonderoga, a messenger with the news reached Williams- burg Sunday morning. He reined up at the church door in the midst of the sermon, and proclaimed his message of alarm. Church services gave way to a war-meeting on the spot. Capt. Fairfield called for men and arms, and fifty volunteers were obtained before night. The names of a part enrolled at that time are preserved as follows :

Thomas Vinton, Eleazer HIill, Amasa Frost, John Miller, John Wait, Jonathan Wolcott, Samson Hill, Jacob Robinson, Thomas Thatcher, Thomas Howe, Downing Warner, Samuel French, Andrew Gates, Josiah Dwight, Samuel Bradford, Elisha Nash, Jesse Wild, Bethuel Smith, Isaac Finney, Daniel Fuller, John Bagley, Ezra Strong, John Williams, Amasa Graves, Simeon Barrows, Rufus Hyde, Richard Church, Ichabod Hemmenway, Samuel Fairfield, Abel Thayer, Jona- than Warner, Elisha Graves, Nehemiah Washburn. Some of these men hired substitutes, but the majority went into the service.

May 19, 1777 .- Money was raised by subscription to hire soldiers:

HISTORY OF THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

Francis Warner, a grandson of Capt. Jonathan, resides at Haydenville.

Oct. 13, 1780, it was voted to procure the beef for the army assessed upon the town, and Joseph Carey, Elisha Nash, and Asa Ludden were appointed a committee for that purpose. It was voted to pay £170 Continental currency per hundredweight. This is a good specimen of the fate of inflated paper-money.

The above minutes from the town records clearly indicate the spirit of the people.

At the time of the Lexington alarm 10 men left Williams- burg under Capt. Abel Thayer, " too impatient," one writer says, " to wait for 21 more, who soon followed them."

John Starks was in the battle at Saratoga and also on Long Island, and was also stationed at Great Jones Street, New York, when the British came over from Newtown and landed at Kipsey's Bay. John Allen was in the hottest of the fight at Bunker Hill and also at Bemis Heights, Saratoga, where Gen. Frazer was killed.

Starks was in the campaign of 1776, and was sent with the Rangers to protect the frontiers along the western line of Lake Champlain to Canada. So were Amasa Frost and Nehemiah Frost.

This town passed a resolution favoring national independ- ence some weeks before the Declaration was pronounced by the Continental Congress, as did other towns in the vicinity.

SHAYS' REBELLION.

The name of this town does not appear with any promi- nenee in the published accounts of Shays' rebellion, and yet it is well known that the citizens of this town were many of them favorable to the cause of the insurgents.

The town was represented in the various county conven- tions called to consider the public distress ; but many attended these and sought redress of grievances who never approved the subsequent movements of the Shays men, and did not share in them.

WAR OF 1812.

In 1812, Williamsburg was represented by the following delegates in the county convention held to express opposition to the war, viz., William Bodman and John Wells,

William Bodman was appointed a delegate from Hampshire County to the subsequent State convention.

July 6, 1812, the following record appears :

" At a legal meeting voted unanimously that a war with Great Britain, at a time when to say the least we have as good a enuse for a war with France, is totally inexpedient and impolitic, and we have reason to fear will lead to an alliance with that nution whose friendship is certain ruin."

It will be easily inferred that this town had no soldiers in the regular army during this war, which bore so heavily upon the commercial interests of New England and awoke such strong opposition. When Governor Strong called out the militia for the defense of Boston, this town like others fur- nished its quota. It is understood the following went : Jona- than A. Gillett, Wm. Hemenway, Capt. Southworth Jenkins, Jonathan Dickinson, Jason Hemenway, James Hemenway, Benjamin Claghorn, Benjamin Dole. Capt. Jenkins was in command, and 8 or 10 men constituted the Williamsburg quota.

MEXICAN WAR.

Charles Hopkins, son of Stephen Hopkins, was in the Mexi- can war, and was killed.

CIVIL WAR, 1861-65.

The first legal town-meeting to consider war matters was held on the 2d of May, 1861. The committee on resolutions, consisting of H. H. White, D. F. Morton, and Wm. A. Nash, reported the following :

" Whereas, a crisis has arrived in the history of our general government which calls for every one, whether in his national, state, county, town, or individual capacity, to speak out his sentiments and use prompt and energetic action in sustaining the government against the rebellion that is now aiming to undermine its foundations ; therefore,

" Resolved, By the inhabitants of Williamsburg now in town- meeting assem- bled, that we tender to it all the meu and means we possess in proportion to our ability, and that we raise the sum of $2000, to be placed in the hands of a committee to be expended in whole or in part as necessity may require, under the direction of the town, for the benefit of such persons as have volunteered or may volunteer as soldiers from the town and for the use of their families.

" Resolved, That it is not only one of the legitimate, but imperative, dluties of the general government to enforce its laws in every one of the States of the Union, whether it has seceded or not ; und that it has a perfect right to call out troops for that purpose whenever it may deem it wise and judicious so to do; and that there is no alternative for patriotic citizens but to aid them to the extent of their power."

The resolutions were adopted. Lewis Bodman and D. F. Morton, with the selectmen, were made a committee to dis- burse " the money raised for volunteers and their families." They were instructed to furnish equipments for volunteers, and to pay to each $10 a month while in service.

June 17th, this vote was reconsidered, and the selectmen were anthorized to borrow $1100 to fulfill contracts already made, and to carry ont the provisions of the law for State aid for families.

Sept. 1, 1862 .- It was voted to raise by taxation $6100, to pay bounties to vol_ unteers who enlist to the credit of the town.

November 17th .- The treasurer was fully authorized to borrow money to pay State aid to families " until the 1st day of March next."

Other meetings were held in the years 1863, 1864, and 1865, . at which all necessary steps were taken to fill the several quotas called for from time to time, paying such bounties as seemed necessary.

Williamsburg furnished 250 men for the war, which was a surplus of 29 above all demands. Four were commissioned officers. This statement is from Schouler's " History of Mas- sachusetts in the War."

The whole amount of aid paid solely by the town was $20,000. The assessed valuation of the town in 1860 was $906,206, and the population 2095. Aid to families reimbursed by the State, 1861, $135.36; 1862, $932.87 ; 1863, $2053.01; 1864, $589.79; 1865, $687.89; total, $4398.42.

The village of Ilaydenville and its immediate vicinity fur- nished 100 of their own citizens.

Contributions by ladies and by citizens generally were prompt and liberal, and were sent through the various chan- nels of benevolence during all the war.

The following list is designed to include the name of every resident of Williamsburg who served in the army, but to ex- clude the names of recruits hired abroad, in Boston or else- where. It will be noticed by the statistics given above that the number of soldiers furnished by Williamsburg was equal to one-eighth of the whole population, and the war-expenses equal to about nine and a half dollars cach for the whole people, -men, women, and children. Such records need no comment. They prove that the heroism of the fathers survives in their children.

Thomas meekim

During the reign of Charles I, more than twenty thousand Puritans were driven from England to the New World by the political and ecclesiastical tyranny of Earl Strafford and Archbishop Laud. Among the number were Thomas, Thomas, Jr., and Ilelon Meekins, who landed in Boston, in 1636, where they took the oath of freemen. Helon was drowned in Boston Harbor, and Thomas, Sr., soon returned to England ; Thomas, Jr., removed to Braintree, where he remained until 1661, when, with his son Thomas, born in 1643, he joined a colony from Hartford, who established themselves on both sides of the Connecticut River, at Iladley. They soon became prominent in local affairs, Thomas, Sr., being the first signer of the west side petition to the General Court, May 3, 1667, " to vouchsafe your poor petitioners that favor as to be a society of ourselves, and have liberty to settle a minister to dispense the ordinances of the Lord unto us."

This movement resulted in the incorporation of the town of Ilat- field, May 31, 1670. The elder Thomas was a millwright. Hle built and owned the first grist-mill in Hatfield, in 1661, and, with others, saw-mills in Hladley and Northampton. Thomas, Jr., and his servant, Nathaniel Collins, were slain by the Indians, Oct. 19, 1675, while on a scouting party in King Philip's war. The following letter, written the next year, and now in possession of Dr. T. W. Meekins, of North- ampton, gives a good idea of the every-day life of the settlers at that time. It is directed : " This for loving Master Thomas Meekings, living at hatfield, this deliver."
