The first utilizing of the waters of the Connecticut River for manufac- turing purposes at Holyoke was a saw-mill built by Titus Morgan and Erastus Morgan, his son, a little over a mile above the Holyoke dam.

Erastus Morgan was a Revolution- ary soldier. In the olden times, when shad and salmon were plenty, Erastus Morgan, in company with five men, caught in one night six thousand shad and ninety salmon ; the average weight of the salmon was thirty pounds. The shad they sold for one penny (two cents) per shad, and this salmon they divided and carried home with oxen and cart.

Ersstus (84), their eldest son, mar- ried Clarissa Chapin, Dec. 31, 1789. Their children were:

129. John Calvin, born 1790, 130. Clarissa, born 1793. 131. Joseph War- ren, born 1796. 132. Louis Segar, born 1801. 133. Huldah, born 1803. 134. Quartos Miles, boro 1810.

S. P. BAILEY.

S. P. Bailey, youngest son of Eber W. Bailey and Elizabeth Powers Bailey, was born in Wor- cester, Mass., Feb. 13, 1818. The other members of the family were Eber O., Adeline E., Stephen P., Mary A., and Sophronia R. The family re- mained here until young Bailey was six years of age, when they removed to Greenwich, Mass. The education of the subject of this sketch was obtained at the common schools, but, being diligent in his studies, he secured a fund of knowledge that well qualified him for his subsequent successful carcer as an active business-man. The early part of

his life was spent at agricultural pursuits in con- nection with lumbering. He found the business of lumbering both pleasant and profitable, and since the age of thirty has given his time with great success to that industry.

June 24, 1852, he united in marriage with Lydia Ann Haskell, of New Salem, youngest daughter of Benjamin and Lydia Haskell. They had one child, Addie E., who died, aged seven months. Mrs. Bailey died Oct. 4, 1857. Mr. Bailey was married the second time, April 21, 1863, to Mrs. Abbie L. Wetherell, of Warren, Mass.

HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY.

The business of silver-plating, pursued at Greenwich Plains, has been one of the most prominent industries for a great number of years. It was first established about the year 1818, by Stephen Douglas, nearly opposite the present store. Mr. Douglas subsequently united with him in business Messrs. Jason Blackmer and Reuben Haynes, the firm being known as Douglas, Haynes & Co. After the expiration of ten or twelve years, they were succeeded by the firm of Douglas & Doak (A. L.). Mr. Douglas afterward with- drew, and the firm became Doak & Topliff. William S. Douglas, a son of Stephen, then entered the business. Soon after, Mr. Topliff died, and the firm became again known as Douglas & Doak, and remains so at present. The principal articles plated are coach and saddlery hardware, and the en- terprise affords employment, in good times, to about 14 men. The present shop stands between the residences of William S. Douglas and Robert D. Bussey, at Greenwich Plains, and was moved there about forty years ago.

At Greenwich village a large number of smaller enter- prises are now pursued. A factory for the manufacture of dry-goods and other boxes has been in operation for the past fifteen years, and is owned by S. P. Bailey, who employs sev- eral men. Charles S. Record has a blacksmith-shop in the centre of the village. John H. Jordan manufactures carriages and sleighs, and furnishes employment for several men. He has been engaged in the business for a number of years. Mar- shall J. Wheeler has a broom-factory, and employs several hands. The saw- and grist-mill has been run for the past twenty years by Daniel Parker, who succeeded David Allen.

Collis W. Vaughn manufactures picture-frames and mold- ings at the centre of the town, and Win. R. Manly has an ex- cellent saw-mill in the west part.

MILITARY.

In the trying days of the Revolution the town manifested the most striking patriotism. As evidence of this fact, wit- ness the following extract from the records: " At a Loyall Town-Meeting held at the publick meeting-house, in Green- wich, on February, ye 23 Day of August, 1774, at one o'clock in the afternoon," it was voted, " To provide a stock of am- munition. To provide two barrels of powder. To provide 200 weight of lead for the town stock. To provide 400 flint locks, and to chose a committee of eleven on correspondence." The committee chosen were Isaac Powers, Josiah Wilson, Jacob Gibbs, Nehemiah Stebbins, John Rea, Joseph Hooker, John Gibbs, Samuel Colton, Nehemiah Hinds, Simon Stone, and Jeremiah Powers, Jr. Other extraets could be given, manifesting the active support which the town gave the cause of liberty. Of those who served in the Continental army may be mentioned David Blackmer, Charles Bruec, Roland Sears, Moses Robinson, Barnabas Rich, Giles Rider, and - Pratt. Samuel Hale, who settled in the town about 1816, served from Enfield, Conn.

In the Shays rebellion the record of the town is less patri- otic, the citizens, as a general thing, taking an active part against the government. The following persons are shown by the records to have taken the oath of allegiance after the suppression of the uprising, many of them being the first citizens of the town: Wm. Powers, Charles Bruce, Isaae Hunter, Samuel Wheeler, Barnabas Sears, Benj. Furnis, Jr., John Rogers, Cornelius Cannon, Levi Town, Stephen Darling, Witt Taylor, Isaac Town, Jr., Oliver Harris, John Brown, Benj. Harwood, Darius Rice, Win. Morton, Robert Black- mer, Solomon Ilinds, Robert Scars, Andrew Scars, Luke Powers, Walter Powers, Nathan Powers, Silas Jones, Na- thaniel Jackson, Jeremiah Powers, Jr., John Walker, David Blackmer, Jonathan Lawson, Benj. Watson, Solomon Town, Jeremiah Powers, David Lawson, Joseph Fobes, Jr., John Rea, Eliphalet Gray, Daniel Shaw, Phinchas Thayer, Abijah Powers, Jr., Natt Garfield, Eben Cutler, Roland Blackmer,

David Furnis, Emerson Gibbs, John Lamson, Silas Hay ward, John Hunt, Isaac B. Spring, James Monson, John Elwell, . Nathan MeIntosh, Simeon Cafford.

To the war of 1812 the town sent Andrew Harwood, Luther Root, Ezra Sprout, Chester Hale, Daniel Tourtelott, Benj. Rider, Henry Fobes, Samuel Barton, Daniel Eddy, Ichabod Pope, and Kingsley Underwood.

In the suppression of the late Rebellion the following per- sons served from the town :

Lorenzo L. Billings, Stephen II. Wyatt, Zenas Toleman, Erasmus C. Davis, Asa P. Wheeler, Elmer M. Sprout, Andrew Young, Marshall Alden, Elbridge C. Howard, Theodore W. Foley, James O. Foley, George B. Caswell, Sam- vel P. Robbins, Joseph H. Stephens, Abner Mott, George S. Chapin, David Wyatt, George W. Richardson, Metcalf Marsh, Henry Tiffin, Francis A. Green, Joseph F. D. Newcomb, David HI. Newcomb, Marshall Richards, Patrick McGowen, John L. Gront, Lewis J. Upton, Chas. L. Johnston, Henry T. Pomeroy, Arthur II. Pomeroy, Sylvester F. Root, Levi P. Root, Rufus F. Bond, Geo. L. Winter, Henry M. Brown, Stephen A. Gilmore, Na- thanicl E. A. Powers, Win. Oaks, Alphonzo Oaks.

In compiling this history the writer is chiefly indebted for. assistance and kindly co-operation to Robert D. Bussey, town clerk, and to Lorenzo Davis, Wm. S. Douglas, Dan- forth Trask, Hiram Newton, Wm. R. Ilale, B. M. Whit- comb, Charles Record, Joseph P. Vaughn, and Rev. P. Ed- ward Blodgett. Other citizens of the town are also entitled to thanks.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

LYNUS TOURTELLOTT.

Abraham Tourtellott, a native of France, emigrated to this country at a very early day, and settled in Rhode Island. Michael Tourtellott, one of his sons, was born Feb. 4, 1840, and afterward removed to Thompson, Conn., where he con- tinued to reside until the time of his death. He had twelve children, all of whom are dead except Daniel Tourtellott, a veteran and pensioner of the war of 1812, who now resides in the town of Greenwich, Hampshire Co., at the ripe age of ninety years. lle was married Ang. 28, 1812, to Miss Sarah Sly, and moved to Greenwich in June, 1816. He raised a family of nine children, - Marcus, Merrick, Lynus, Vesta, Lucien, Urilla, Mason, William (who died in infancy), and William (2d). Of this family all are dead except William, Urilla, and Lynus. A portrait of the latter appears in this work. He was born in Greenwich, March 11, 1820; was mar- ried to Miss Catherine M. Powers, daughter of Stephen Powers, Jr., of Greenwich. By this union there were four children,-Vesta C., Uri L., Alvin D., and Abbie M.,-all of whom are deceased. Mr. Tourtellott is essentially a self- made man, having had no book education except that obtained in the common schools of his native town. He has devoted his life to work at the carpenter's bench and farming ; has been seleetman of his town three years, and overseer of the poor. In politics Mr. Tourtellott has always been a Demo- crat.

He enjoys the reputation among his fellow-townsmen of being an upright man in all his dealings, and commands the good-will and esteem of all who know him.

GRANBY.

GEOGRAPHICAL.

THE town of Granby is situated south of the centre, in the eastern part of the county, and is bounded on the north by Amherst, on the south by the towns of Ludlow and Chicopce, in Hampden County, on the east by Belchertown, and on the west by South Hadley, Hampshire Co. Its lines are compara- tively regular. Its area comprehends about 16,591 acres of land.

NATURAL FEATURES.

The surface is quite level, broken by small, scattered hills, known by the names of Turkey, Baggs', Raves', Fox, and Cold Hills. Besides these there are numerous small elevations. A large swampy plain extends through the town from Lud- low on the south, the soil of which is sandy and covered by thick growths of small trees. In the other portions the soil is productive, particularly in the northern and eastern sections. Porter's Swamp and Pitchawam (contracted from the Indian Pitchawamuche) Swamp are also quite extensive, in the north- western portion of the town.

The water-courses are not abundant. Batchelor's Brook is a considerable stream, which passes through the northern sec- tion of the town from east to west, fed by various small afflu- ents, some of which rise in Belchertown. Forge Pond, in the east part of the town, is formed by the waters of several small streams, and by the back-waters of Batchelor's Brook. Other small streams exist in the southern portion of the town, of which the principal is Muddy Brook, which rises near the centre of the town, and flows south into Ludlow. A stream of some importance enters the town from Hampden County, at its northwest corner, and after being joined by small afflu- ents in Granby, flows westerly into South Hadley.

Along the north line of the town extends the Holyoke range of mountains, the highest point of which in Granby is known as Hilyar's Knob.

SETTLEMENT.

The first grant of land by the town of Hadley (of which Granby originally formed a part), south of Mount Holyoke, was in February, 1675, when Thomas Selden had six acres at

543

HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY.

the mouth of Dry Brook. In 1682, Timothy Nash had a grant of a parcel of land between Batchelor's Brook and Stony Brook, adjoining the great river, "at the southernmost part of our bounds." This land was afterward owned by Emerson Bates and II. Moody. In 1680 the town granted 20 acres each to David Hoyt, Thomas Wells, and Joseph Hovey, " beyond Mount Holyoke, on Batchelor's Brook," and in 1688, John Lawrence had a grant of three or four acres to- ward Batchelor's Brook. The grants to the four men last named seem to have become void. In 1684 four men had liberty to set up a saw-mill at the falls of Batchelor's Brook, below the former grant, with the frame and right to timber. What mills were erected under these grants is not known. In the proprietors' records, in 1721 and 1722, the " old mill-place," on Batchelor's Brook, is mentioned, which was above the sub- sequent site of Allen's paper-mill, also the " old mill-pond" on Stony Brook below Smith's grist-mill, and a saw-mill below the pond.

On Jan. 25, 1720, Hadley voted to lay out the land on the south side of Mount Holyoke according to the list of estates and polls, taken in the same month. Various votes were passed distributing the lands. Meadow-land was voted in February, 1722, and was laid out the same year in six mead- ows, named Stony Brook Meadow, Chapin's Meadow, Great Meadow, Little Meadow, Longmeadow, on Taylor's Brook, and Pitchawamiche Meadow. Most of these meadow-lands were within the present limits of Granby, and some were swampy. There were similar mowing-lands on Batchelor's Brook.

The territory now comprised within the limits of the town of South Hadley was settled somewhat earlier and faster than that of Granby, so that in the year 1731 the taxable inhabitants of South Hadley numbered thirty-seven, while those of Granby numbered but eight.

The southeast part of Granby was added to Hadley in re- sponse to a petition of 21 persons, which was presented to the General Court in 1727, asking for the land between an addition that had been laid out in 1715 and the Equivalent Lands, after- ward Belchertown. This tract was four miles long and two wide, or eight square miles, and was called " The Crank" in old land records and deeds. The land was not considered val- uable, and in 1736 nine proprietors sold their individual rights to Capt. James Bowdoin, of Boston.

The first settlers of Granby, from 1727, the date of the first settlement, to 1763 inelusive, were, in 1727, Ebenczer Taylor, John Smith, Ephraim Nash, and John Lane; from 1727 to 1731, Timothy Nash, Joseph Nash, William Dickinson, Jr., Nehemiah Dickinson, and Thomas Taylor ; from 1731 to 1740, Stephen Warner, Sr., James Smith, Noah Ferry, Samuel Moody, John Moody, and Hezekiah Smith ; from 1740 to 1750, William Eastman, Aaron Nash, Phinehas Smith (Ist), Seth Clark, Noah Clark, John Preston, Experience Smith, Eleazer Nash, Martin Nash, Hezekiah Smith, Jr., Jonathan Selden, and Samuel Dickinson ; from 1750 to 1763, Eleazer Warner, Jr., Benjamin Eastman, John Rowe, John Lane, Jr., Stephen Warner, Jr., Samuel Ayres, Eliphalet Green, Timothy Burr, Josiah Montague, Joseph Montague, Nathan Smith, Israel Clark, Jacob Taylor, Ithamar Amidown, Elisha Nash, Seth Smith, James Smith, Waitstill Dickinson, Ezekiel Barton, Rev. Simon Backus, Asaph Stebbins, Ebenezer Taylor, Jr., William Dickinson, Timothy Smith, Peter Domo, Samuel Elmer, Asahel Smith, Thomas II. Moody, Charles Ferry, David Barton, Experience Smith, Ebenezer Bartlett, Samuel Vinton, John Giddings, William Negus, Elisha Barton, James Giddings, Stephen Chapin, Samuel Moody, Jr., Benjamin Smith, James Patrick, Jeremiah Chapin, John Moody, Jr., Elisha Moody, Reuben Moody, Joseph Hillyer, Moses Smith, and John Camp. The descendants of many of these first set- tlers have disappeared from the town, but a few are still rep- resented there, and are among the most substantial citizens of

the town. After the year 1763 the settlement of the town in- creased more rapidly, so that in the year 1776 Granby had a population of 491 persons.

In 1771 the men who had the largest estates in Granby were Deacon William Eastman, lacob Taylor, John Moody (son of Deacon John, deceased), Deacon Nathan Smith, Benjamin Eastman, Moses Moody, Phinehas Smith, and Ebenezer Bart- lett.

TAVERNS.

It is probable that the conveniences of a tavern were afforded at the houses of the carly settlers in an informal way from the earliest period. Timothy Nash, who kept a tavern in the town from 1741 to 1749, was the first innkeeper in the town. Levi Smith kept a regular tavern in the early part of the present century, for many years, in the west part of the town .* About 1821 a tavern was established by Alpheus Ferry at the "centre." He kept it for several years, and was succeeded by Wm. J. Patrick. HI. II. Stearns established the " Pitchawam House," near the post-office at the "centre," for a year or two, hut abandoned it for the more profitable pursuit of tailoring. John Preston, who was a descendant of one of the earliest settlers of the region, kept a tavern in 1825 at the present residence of Charles S. Ferry, in the north part of the town. After his death it was kept for a few years by his relatives. Thomas Moody opened a public-house at the Five Corners, on the Holyoke road, about 1829, and ran it two or three years. David Kellogg kept one, about 1845, and for ten years thereafter, at the " centre."

STORES

have always been kept, to a greater or less extent, in different parts of the town. One of the earliest was by Levi Smith, the first part of the century, in the west part of the town. Asa Moody, a one-legged man, kept one for a good many years, about the same period, on a corner opposite to Levi Smith's. Still another was on a third corner opposite, by David Smith. " Marchant" Seranton is mentioned as serv- ing in the Continental army in 1782. He may have been the first in the town. Eklad Smith succeeded Levi Smith, and also engaged in the manufacture of buttons. The first store at the East Centre was by Aretus Ferry, about 1821, and con- tinued for about ten years. A Mr. Bridgman, from Belcher- town, opened one soon after. He was succeeded in 1830 by Charles S. Ferry, who erected the structure now occupied by Walter Kellogg as a dwelling-house, and kept store therein until 1835. Milo Taylor, a Mr. Brown, Dexter O. Dickinson, and Philo Chapin have since kept there. The latter has been in trade for about twenty years. William Belcher erected a store at the "centre" about 1825, near the meeting-house, and kept it for a good many years in the building which Dr. Marsh afterward occupied as a dwelling, since destroyed by fire. A. E. Thayer followed soon after in the business, and was succeeded by Daniel E. Belcher.

PHYSICIANS.

Of early physicians the first was Dr. Samuel Vinton, who was born in Leicester about 1737, and practiced in the town as early as 1762. lle is mentioned in the town records in 1771, and again in 1780. Dr. Daniel Coit is mentioned in 1790 and later years. Dr. Chester Cowls commenced prac- tice in 1796, and continued until 1815 or 1820, and then removed to Amherst. Dr. Perez Chapin also practiced early in the town prior to the year 1800. Dr. Augustin Paine practiced about 1810 or 1811. Dr. Enos Smith practiced in 1797. Dr. Porter Davis came from Palmer ahout 1823; he died in 1825, and was succeeded by Dr. Timothy Dimmoek, who remained for some time. Dr. Charles S. Thompson

* Town-meetings were frequently adjourned to Timothy Smith's, in the west part of the town, east of the meeting-house. This may have been a tavern. It was quite customary in early days to adjourn town-meetings to taverns.

practiced in 1830 and 1831. Dr. Perry was in practice about 1820. Dr. Elisha B. Chapin came to Granby from Chicopee Falls in 1835, and died in 1842. He was followed soon after by Dr. L. B. Monroe, who practiced for a number of years, and then returned to Medway, his former home. Dr. John Seabury was in practice at the same time. Dr. C. N. Cham- berlain practiced for a number of years, and removed to Northampton about 1857. Dr. L. S. Marsh soon after en- gaged in practice, and continued during the war of the Re- bellion. Dr. Cyrus B. Smith, at present one of the leading citizens of the town, engaged in practice previous to the war, Ile enlisted in the service, and after an honorable career re- turned to Granby, where he is now in practice.
