HITCHCOCK The two immigrant settlers of New England bearing this name are: Matthias Hitchcock, who came from London, England, to Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, as a passenger on the "Susan and Ellen" in the spring of 1635, and settled in Connecticut. His distinguished descendants in New England in- clude : Noah Hitchcock, who married Abigail

Lombard; their son, Judge Samuel Hitch- cock, who married Lucy Allen, daughter of General Ethan Allen; their son, General Ethan Allen Hitchcock (1798-1870), a soldier in the Seminole war, the war with Mexico and the civil war; Judge Henry Hitchcock, who mar- ried Anne Erwin; their son, Ethan Allen Hitchcock, born in 1835, the diplomatist and cabinet officer ; Valentine Hitchcock, who mar- ried Sarah Hotchkiss; their son, Chief Justice Peter Hitchcock ( 1781-1854), of Ohio; their son, Henry Lawrence Hitchcock, D. D., presi- dent of Western Reserve College, 1855-71; Amasa Hitchcock, who married Sarah Brad- ley; their son, Amasa, who married Elizabeth Austin; their son, Commander Robert Brad- ley Hitchcock (1804-1888), United States naval officer, 1825-88, who married Mary Ann, daughter of Miles Hitchcock.

The other branch of the family have as their progenitors Luke Hitchcock, the immigrant, and his wife Elizabeth Gibbons, who came to New England in 1635 and were original mem- bers of the New Haven Colony; their son, Luke, who married Sarah Dorchester; Luke (2) married Martha Colton and had a. son whose son Pelatiah was the father of Enos Hitchcock (1744-1803), Congregational min- ister in Beverly, Massachusetts, chaplain in revolutionary army, 1780-83, minister in Provi- dence, Rhode Island, 1783-1803; Caleb Hitch- cock, brother of Pelatiah, was the father of Justin, who married Mercy Hoyt, and whose son was Edmund Hitchcock, D. D., LL. D. (1793-1864), the noted scientist and president of Amherst College, who married Orra, daugh- ter of Jareb White; their son, Edward Hitch- cock, LL. D., of Amherst, married Mary, daughter of David Judson, of Bridgeport, Connecticut ; their son, Edward Hitchcock, born in Stratford, Connecticut, September I, 1854, was director of physical culture in Cor- nell University and lecturer in hygiene from 1888.

Another line of descent from Luke Hitch- cock, the immigrant, is Eldad, who married Esther Hoar; their son, David, married Han- nah Owen; their son, Dr. Alfred ( 1814-1874), was a prominent surgeon of Fitchburg, Massa- chusetts, and through his second wife, Aurelia Phebe, daughter of James Ripley and Phebe (Wyman) Wellman, was the father of Ripley Hitchcock, born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, July 3, 1857, a descendant also of Elder Will- iam Brewster and Governor Bradford, of Plymouth Colony, and a celebrated author, traveler and art critic. He married Martha Walcott Hall, of Washington, D. C. Another

son of Edmund and Orra (White) Hitchcock was Charles Henry Hitchcock, the noted geol- ogist, meteorologist and professor in Dart- mouth College. Another son of Luke (2) and Martha (Colton) Hitchcock was the Rev. Caleb Hitchcock, who married Sarah Win- chester, and their son, Gad Hitchcock, mar- ried Keziah, daughter of Lieutenant Samuel Bates, and became the father of Samuel Aus- tin Hitchcock ( 1794-1873), of Brimfield, Mas- sachusetts, who made large benefactions to Amherst College; Andover Theological Sem- inary; Hitchcock Free High School, Brim- field; Illinois College; Tabor College; Congre- gational House, Boston, etc., etc. Vermont is represented by Elijah Hitchcock, who married Sarah Tounsley, whose son, Alfred Hitchcock, and his wife, Sarah W. (Stevens) Hitchcock, became the parents of Henry Ethan Hitchcock, born in Vergennes, Vermont, May 3, 1822, a founder and graduate of Knox College and professor there 1850-72, in the University of

Nebraska, 1872-95, where he was also chan- cellor 1882-84, and removed thence to Cler- mont, California. Through Phineas Hitch- cock, who married Elizabeth Phelps, and their son, Gad, who married Nancy Prime, we have Phineas Warrener Hitchcock (1831-1881), who married Annie M. Monell, of New York, removed to Nebraska territory, settled in Omaha, and was appointed by President Lin- coln marshal of the territory. He was dele- gate to congress, surveyor-general of the new state of Nebraska, and United States senator 1870-77. This brings us to :

(I) Samuel Patch Hitchcock, son of John and Martha (Perkins) Hitchcock, of English descent, was born in Damariscotta, Lincoln county, Maine, April 3, 1834. He was edu- cated at Lincoln Academy and in 1850 en- tered the employ of his older brothers, Harry and Rufus, shipbuilders, of Bath, Maine, where he learned the shipwright's trade. Then he became associated as master builder with George M. Adams, and later became his part- ner in the firm of Adams & Hitchcock. This firm was the pioneer in the construction of three-masted schooners in Bath, when any tonnage over 200 was regarded as extreme and hazardous. They built and managed suc- cessfully quite a large fleet. Later Mr. Hitch- cock built four large ships for his brother-in- law, Isaac F. Chapman (formerly of the firm of I. F. Chapman & Company, New York). One of these, the "S. P. Hitchcock," was his namesake. December 1, 1869, he married Katherine Hilton, of Wiscasset, Maine, daugh- ter of Calvin and Sarah (Mitchell) Hilton.

There were four children: Sarah, born in Bath, Maine; Herbert, Harry A., Samuel. Mr. Hitchcock died June 15, 1884.

(1I) Harry Alton, son of Samuel Patch and Katherine (Hilton) Hitchcock, was born in Bath, Maine, January 9, 1877. He was graduated at the Bath high school in 1894 and from Cornell University in 1900. He was employed in the business and editorial depart- ments of the publishing house of Houghton Mifflin & Company, Boston, Massachusetts, 1901-06; was circulation manager of the New York Nation, 1906-08, and in March, 1908, became assistant to the secretary of the Amer- ican Real Estate Company of New York City. He is a member of the Beta Theta Pi fra- ternity, and was for two years district secre- tary for the New England States. His club affiliations include membership in the Maine Society of New York, the Beta Theta Pi Club and the Cornell University Club. His church membership is with the Free Will Baptist de- nomination, and he is a Republican in party politics.

VERRILL The earliest mention of the Verrill family in New Eng- land history is undoubtedly that made in Babson's "History of Gloucester, Massachusetts," wherein it is said that Rich- ard, Thomas and Samuel Variel were settlers on Cape Ann between the years 1701 and 1750, and that the first family of Variels went to that region from Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1727, where, on January 12, Richard Variel married Martha Day, and had children : Mary, Hephzibah, Richard, a second Mary, Susanna, Dorothy, Abigail and Jeremiah. Thomas Variel, the second of the settlers mentioned, married, December II, 1728, Susanna, sup- posed to have been a daughter of John Dol- liver, and had children: Thomas, Joseph, John, Susanna and William. The form of the name has varied, as is the case with many of the early settlers, but there is no doubt, as the records show, that the name was spelled Variel until the early part of the nineteenth century, when the change was effected by Benjamin Verrill, a justice of the peace.

(I) Samuel Variel, of Cape Cod and Gloucester, is said to have come from Eng- land. He married, May 7, 1731, Sarah Stev- ens, and had a son, Samuel.

(II) Samuel (2), son of Samuel (1) and Sarah (Stevens) Variel, was born April 20, 1734. He is without doubt the Samuel men- tioned in the "History of Androscoggin County, Maine," as having come from Cape

Ann, Massachusetts, to New Gloucester, Maine, about the year 1760, and afterward set- tled at Bakerstown, near Centre Minot. He is mentioned as having been "an eccentric man in many ways; one was in being strictly free from debt. His favorite and oft-repeated motto was 'Owe no man anything, but love one another.'" He died in 1821. The fact that he is mentioned as having died in 1821 does not prevent his having been identical with the Samuel born in 1734, as stated by Mr. Babson, and there is little doubt that he was the Samuel of Cape Ann and New Gloucester who is known to have emigrated to Maine about 1760. The name of his wife is not men- tioned, but he had four sons-Samuel, Davis, mentioned below, William and Daniel, and six daughters.

(III) Davis, second son of Samuel Variel, was born August 30, 1759. He married (first), about 1780, Elizabeth Jumper, born in November, 1758, and died May 16, 1803, daughter of Edward Jumper, who was born at Cape Ann, and died in Minot, April 3, 1792, and who married (first) Anna Lee, by whom he had children: Edward, Ezekiel, Abigail, David, Elizabeth, mentioned above, and Anna; he married (second) Elizabeth Noyes, born in Salisbury, Massachusetts, No- vember 25, 1755, died in Minot, January 8, 1795, and by this marriage there were born: Elizabeth, Anna, James Jewett, Edward, John, Nicholas, born in Minot, January 5, 1787, and Phebe. Davis and Elizabeth (Jumper) Variel had children: Samuel, see forward; Eunice, born April 27, 1784; Davis, January 15, 1786; Emma, December 21, 1787; Ezekiel, January 6, 1790; Lucretia, October II, 1795. Davis Variel married (second), December, 1804, Lydia Ellis, who died April II, 1816, and by this marriage there were born: Elizabeth, born November 28, 1805; Davis Ellis, April 12, 1809; Sophronia, September, 18II.

(IV) Samuel (3), eldest child of Davis and Elizabeth (Jumper) Variel, was born Sep- tember 6, 1782, and died November 16, 1853. He married, November 24, 1803, Experience Jackson, born January 25, 1787, died in Au- burn, Maine, September 27, 1871. She was a direct descendant of John Alden and Pris- cilla Mullins, who landed from the "May- flower" at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. The line of descent is as follows: (I) John Alden, born in England in 1599, died in Dux- bury, Massachusetts, September 12, 1687; married, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1623, Priscilla, daughter of William and Alice Mul- lins, of Plymouth. (II) Joseph Alden, born

in Duxbury, Massachusetts, 1627, died in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, February 8, 1697, married, 1652, Mary, daughter of Moses Sim- mons, Esq., who came to this country in the "Fortune." (III) Isaac Alden, born in Bridge- water, Massachusetts, in 1660, died in the same town in 1742; married, December 2, 1685, Mehitable, daughter of Deacon Samuel Allen. (IV) John Alden, born in Bridgewater, Mas- sachusetts, in 1694, died in the same town in 1762; married, 1727, Hannah, daughter of Henry Kingman. (V) Jonathan Alden, born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, in 1732, died in the same town, February 18, 1825; mar- ried, 1766, Experience, daughter of Cornelius Washburn. (VI) Mehitable Alden, born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, September 15, 1767, died in Minot, Maine, January 25, 1850; married, in Bridgewater, August 24, 1785, Henry Jackson, born May 1, 1762, died in Feb- ruary, 1840; they had children: Experience, married Samuel Variel; Sally, born September 28, 1788; William, September 2, 1790; Han- nah, born June 26, 1792, died August 8, 1793 ; Joseph, born May 26, 1794; Henry, May 23, 1796; Alden, October 2, 1798; Cyrus, born December 28, 1800, died August 16, 1802; Hannah, born January 5, 1803, died May 15 of same year; Samuel, born March 5, 1804; David, April 25, 1806; Jeremiah, August 24, 1808.

(V) Charles, third son and fifth child of Samuel (3) and Experience (Jackson) Ver- rill, was born in Minot, Maine, October II, 1814, and died in Auburn, Maine, September 2, 1896. He attended the common schools of his native town until he was eighteen years of age, when he began to learn the trade of car- pentering, which he followed for several years. He received an appointment as first station agent at Empire Road, Poland, after the com- pletion of the Grand Trunk line of railroad through that place, and continued in that office for several years. In 1870 he removed to Au- burn, Maine, where the remaining years of his life were spent. He married Martha, daugh- ter of John Lord, of Lebanon, New Hamp-

(VI) Albert Edward, youngest child of Charles and Martha (Lord) Verrill, was born in Poland, Maine, November 12, 1860. He attended public schools in Auburn, Maine, and at the age of fourteen years, after finishing the grammar course, went to work in a shoe shop. In 1878 he left that employment and went to York county, where he worked on a farm for a time. The following year he went to Wa- terville and entered the Waterville Classical Institute, and one year later the Nichols Latin School at Lewiston, Maine, from which he was graduated in 1882. Thus fitted for a col- lege course, he matriculated at Bates College, and in 1886 was graduated from that institu- tion. During his junior year at Bates he

taught in the Latin School. After having been graduated from Bates College he entered the law office of Savage. & Oakes, and in Feb- ruary, 1889, was admitted to practice at the bar. In the same year, 1889, he was made chairman of the board of registration, and in March, 1891, became clerk of the municipal court, in which office he still continues. Mr. Verrill is a member of the Grand Lodge, In- dependent Order of Odd Fellows, and also of all the orders of Masonry, including the Thirty-second degree ; he is past master of the Blue Lodge, and a member of the Knights of the Golden Eagle. He married, June 1, 1896, Mabel A., daughter of William F. and Jo- sephine (Daicy) Lord, of Auburn, Maine.

BATES The name Bates, according to one authority, was derived from Bartholomew's son, and short- ened to Batte or Bate, but other authors give as the more probable origin the Anglo-Saxon word "bate," meaning contention. The early form in England before the Puritans left for America was universally Bate, which was re- tained for some time after the emigrant and his descendants were located in New Eng- land. About the time of the revolution the name began to be written Bates. In England, 1593-1669, we have record of George Bate, physician to Charles I, Oliver Cromwell and Charles II, who was also one of the first mem- bers of the Royal Society; 1625-99, William Bates, a non-conformist divine; and 1740-99, John Bates, an eminent musician, born in Hali- fax, Yorkshire, England, who was unani- mously chosen conductor of the commemora- tion of Handel at Westminster Abbey and con- ducted the choral performance of ancient mu- sic until he retired in 1793, being succeeded by Greatorex. The family coat-of-arms is a lion's head erased gules. The emigrant ancestor it is supposed was a direct descendant of Thomas Bate, of Lydd, county Kent, England, who died in 1485, "leaving a son John." John Bate, of All Hallows Parish, county Kent, who died 1522, was probably the son of this Thomas. John Bates was the jurat of Lydd and he left by will about twenty pounds to the church there. He was buried March 1, 1580. He married (first) October 28, 1546, Mildred Ward, who was buried June 2, 1577. He mar- ried (second) June 16, 1579, Mary Bennett. Children of John and Mildred: Mary, James, Thomas and Andrew. James, the eldest son, married, June 6, 1580, Mary Martine. He died March 2, 1614. Their children were: Robert, James, Anna, John, Thomas, Edward,

Clement, Joseph, Mary, Isaac, Rachel and Martha.

(I) Clement Bate, the American ancestor, was the sixth son of James and Mary (Mar- tine) Bate, of Lydd, county Kent, England, and was there baptized January 22, 1595. The list of "Emigrants to America" shows that "Clement Bate, aged forty years, taylor, with wife Ann. five children and two servants em- barked at London for New England, April 6, 1635, in the ship 'Elizabeth.'" He arrived at Hingham, Massachusetts, September 18, same year, and was granted five acres of land which has since been almost constantly in the pos- session of his descendants. He died at Hing- ham, September 17, 1671, aged seventy-six years, and his wife Ann died there, October I, 1669, aged seventy-four. Children : James, born 1621; Clement, 1623; Rachel, 1627; Jo- seph, 1630; Benjamin, 1633; Samuel, of whom further.

(II) Samuel, son of Clement Bates, was baptized at Hingham, March 24, 1639; mar- ried, February 20, 1666-67, Lydia, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Tilden) Lapham, of Scituate. He resided at South street, Hing- ham, and tradition says he removed to Long Island. Both sons settled at Sandwich, Mas- sachusetts, according to the records. Chil- dren: I. Lydia, born September 2, 1669. 2. Mary, August 31, 1671, died young. 3. Sarah, December 23, 1673. 4. Anna, April 12, 1676, in the garrison house during King Philip's war. 5. Judith, April 17, 1678. 6. Samuel, February 28, 1679-80, mentioned below. 7. Thomas, March 17, 1681-82, died aged eleven days. 8. David, February 22, 1683-84, mar- ried Abigail -; settled at Sandwich, Mas- sachusetts. 9. Mary, April 12, 1685, died Jan- uary 5, 1690-91.

(III) Samuel (2), son of Samuel (I) Bates, was born at Hingham, February 28, 1679-80. He and his brother David settled in Sandwich. The records give the baptisms of the following children to them, but we are not able to distinguish the two families: Baptized in 1716: David, Remember, Joseph, Thomas, Samuel. (Some were born several years earlier no doubt.) Born in 1717: John, set- tled in Barnstable, Mary. Baptized in 1719: Abigail. Child of David and Abigail: Lydia, baptized 1722.

(IV) Barnabas, son or nephew of Samuel (2) Bates, was born in Sandwich, about 1720. He was a soldier in the French and Indian war, enlisting March 4, 1745, for the Cape Breton expedition (p. 169, N. E. Reg. 1889). He and his brother Thomas settled in the ad-

jacent town of Wareham, and are the ances- tors of most of the Bates families of that town. He was received from the Second Church of Sandwich by letter to Wareham Church, Feb- ruary II, 1749-50. He married, at Wareham, September 17, 1747, Phebe Gibbs. Children, born at Wareham: I. Barnabas, Jr., June 15, 1748; married Sylvia --- and had Wil- liam, Barnabas and Stephen. 2. Joseph, May 4, 1750, baptized June 3, 1750. 3. Betsey, June 1, 1752. 4. Asa, August 13, 1754. 5. Samuel (twin), January 6, 1757, married Sibell and had Clarissa, born March 15, 1787. 6. Thomas (twin), January 6, 1757, mentioned below. 7. Phebe, June 29, 1759. 8. Abigail, October 4, 1761. 9. Mercy, November 2, 1763. 10. Zilpha, May 27, 1766. II. Joshua, June 8, 1768. 12. John, May 10, 1770, baptized June, 1770. 13. Isaac, January 20, 1773.

(IV) Thomas, brother of Barnabas Bates, was born in Sandwich, and his record is given here on account of the close association of the two pioneers at Wareham. Barney's Point was named for Barnabas Bates, and Lydia's Island, Wareham, for the wife of Thomas Bates. Lydia was dismissed from the Sand- wich church, October 21, 1744, to join the Wareham church, but Thomas appears to have remained a member of the West Church of Sandwich until September 26, 1785. Children of Thomas and Lydia Bates, born at Ware- ham: I. Lucy, December 16, 1737. 2. Mercy, November 13, 1739. 3. Lydia, January 16, 1747. 4. Patience, 1750, baptized April I, 1750. 5. Patience, March 23, 1754. 6. Mar- garet, May 8, 1756. 7. Samuel, August II, 1758. This Thomas Bates, or an elder son born before coming to Wareham, was a sol- dier in the revolution, a corporal in Cap- tain John Gibb's company, Colonel Ebenezer Sprout's regiment on the alarm at Elizabeth Islands in 1776; marched to Falmouth. He was in the same company on a similar alarm at Falmouth in 1778 and 1780. He was ser- geant in Captain Joseph Parker's company, Colonel Ebenezer Sprout's regiment, at Rhode Island in 1778. Other records may belong to this man or to Thomas, son of Barnabas, men- tioned below.

(V) Thomas (2), son of Barnabas Bates, was born in Wareham, January 6, 1757. He married, at Wareham, Ruth Besse. He was a soldier in the revolution from Wareham, called "Thomas 2d" in the records to distin- guish him from an uncle or cousin of the same name and town. He was a fifer in Captain John Gibbs's company, Colonel Ebenezer

(VI) Constantine Barnabas, eldest son of Thomas (2). Bates, was born in Sandwich, Massachusetts, June 10, 1785, died March, 1873. He was a farmer located on Ten Lots, a tract of two thousand acres, divided into ten lots, from which it derived its name, now called Oakland Heights.
