GENEALOGIES AND RECORDS.
THE KNOX FAMILY.
Col. Cyrus Knox of this town was son of David Knox of Tun- bridge, Vt., who married Mary Wood of Brimfield (now Monson). He was a farmer by occupation, and by trade a cooper. They had a family of eleven children, six sons and five daughters-Jacob, Betsey, John, Nancy, William, David, Eliza, James, Cyrus, Mary and Polly. Jacob settled in Michigan, and by accident was shot by his son. John was a lawyer by profession, married and settled in Waterloo, N. Y. David married Silence Cobb and remained on the homestead. James, born 1793, came to Palmer and married Betsey Shaw; after her death he married and settled in Petersburg, Vt.
Col. Cyrus came to Palmer in 1813, at the age of 18 years. He married Peggy, a daughter of John Shaw, who was one of the principal real estate owners of what is now the present village of Palmer. Mr. Knox and wife became heirs to a large portion of the property that has been sold in lots that now contain the resi- dences of the west part of the village. When he came to the place it was rather an obscure part of the town, and after being settled nearly one hundred years the inhabitants for three miles on the river did not exceed the number of those that occupied the lands when the district was organized. Col. Knox was a worthy citizen of the town, beloved by his acquaintances, honored and respected for his good judgment, fair dealings in business transactions and the interest he took in business pertaining to the welfare of the town.

THE FAMILY OF JOHN KING, SEN.
Mr. John King was an Englishman by birth, and married Sarah - -; he was born 1681, Sarah was born 1691. John, Jun., was
CAPT. JESSE KING.

KING.
born in Boston 1715, probably came to the Elbows during the year 1716. John Sen., died April -, 1744, Sarah died January 1, 1762.
The records are proof that he was the first settler of the Elbow District. Tradition represents them as lingering about the beauti- ful plain where now stands the village of Palmer Depot, and it was there he had his first rude log cabin, and near the old cemetery was where he camped out the first night. This of course would make the place seem sacred to the first settlers, but as the tide of emigration came rushing in, he was not "monarch of all he surveyed," but it was necessary to confine himself to lands for his home farm.
He made a wise choice for the times, in selecting his location on the stream of water called afterwards King's brook ; and also the noted Tamor spring, which was the dividing line between him and his neighbors, Richard Combs from Springfield, and Ebenezar Mirick from the same place, on the farm west.

NOTE .- On the fly-leaf of the first volume of the Rochester Church Rec- ords, is this memorandum :
" On the 18th of May, 1729, then John King and Sarah, his wife, who lived at a place called the Elbows, in Hampshire Co., owned the covenant, and their children were baptized, viz : William, Thomas, Joseph, Benjamin, Aaron and Sarah, by me, who was sent by the proprietors of the lands to minister to them. TIMOTHY RUGLES.
Had the visit been six months later, the result might have been different." -Hardwick history, per Lucius Page D. D.
This record, with the circumstances of various petitions that he had signed with Lamb & Co., for the organization of a township in this place, together with deeds of tracts of land that he had bought and sold, giving his residence Springfield, is conclusive that previous to this time that his domestic and church relations were identified with Springfield instead of Brimfield, as there was no church existing there at the time of Mr. King's arrival at the El- bows. But after 1726, Mr. King became interested in the pre- tended right of Lamb & Co., and his interest became more identi-

THE FAMILY OF WILLIAM KING.
William, s. of John King of Norwich, Ct., was b. in 1740, m. Hannah Lamphear Oct. 28, 1765, and d. in 1815. He was a cooper by trade and worked at his occupation four years in Nor- wich. His father bought a tract of land in Monson and gave the dend to his son William. The consideration in the deed was love and respect, he being a dutiful and obedient son. The same year he m. and settled in Monson and worked at his trade in connec- tion with farming and the manufacture of potash, which afforded him good profits. In 1793, he came to Palmer and bought the Quintin Hotel, which had become a poor, dilapidated building, and soon built the hotel and barn that is now occupied by Mr. Trumble as a private dwelling. He also bought the Duncan Quin- ton farm, north of the Old Center. In 1801 he gave the hotel property to his son John, who was known as Landlord John King, probably to designate him from several others in town by the same name. He gave the farm to his son Wills. Amasa and Roswell settled in Monson on the old homestead.

THE LEMON FAMILY (LAMONT).
James and Polly Lemon, their sons, Samuel and James, Jun., came from Ireland in 1727. Their home lots were south of the manor land and north of the place now Bondsville. They were the first to improve the water power at that place. Samuel afterwards settled on the manor land in Ware, which remained more than a century in the family. He also purchased a large tract of land on the west side of the river in Belchertown.
James was said to be one of the puritanic type and had great confidance in his Polly's piety. He was said to be rather timorous while he was surrounded with so many dangers in the new coun- try. And as he was at work in the field it began to thunder, and the continuous flash of lightning admonished him to flee for safety, while his only place was to Polly's care. As soon as he arrived came the salutation: "Polly, got doun on ye naze on pra. for it tunders and litens and wa shal al be burnt up turgetter."
