pond was granted to him and Thomas Tib- bals, provided they drain the pond. On May 20th of that year and June 22d of the follow- ing year he received further grants of land. On January 8, 1648, the grant of Beaver pond was ratified by the town as the drainage had been accomplished according to contract. In 1662 Richard Baldwin received a furtlier grant of marsh land. He was prominent in the settlement of the town of Derby and ap- pears often in the records of that town, where June 10, 1655, he was a sergeant of militia and served on a committee of four to treat with the Indians for the lands at Pauguset (Derby). He was empowered to call meet- ings and otherwise act in the interest of the town, and purchased much lands from the In- dians. In 1657 he kept the ordinary and was a member of the general court of Milford from 1662 to 1664, in which latter year the New Haven Colony was joined with the Con- necticut Colony, Mr. Baldwin being a mem- ber of the committee which arranged for this consolidation. In 1651 he was ensign of a company to go against the "Duch," for which company Milford furnished twenty-one men. He also served as town clerk of Milford, and died July 23. 1665.

The surname Slaughter SLAUGHTER is found spelled in a va- riety of ways. The Con- necticut family seems to have spelled the name Slafter in the earliest generations. John Slafter or Slaughter came from England or
Wales about 1680 to Lynn, Massachusetts, and thence to Connecticut. The name is found but five times in Lynn records and there it is spelled Slafter. After the family removed to Connecticut, in the deeds and town records of Mansfield, Willington and Tolland, the spell- ing is also generally Slafter; but some of the descendants have modified the name to Salter. In Rhode Island a branch of this family spelled the name Slaughter, Slatter. Slater and Slatar, but these variations are partly due to misspelling of town clerks. In the early church records of Mansfield the name is with- out exception spelled Slaughter and there is a uniform tradition that it was commonly pro- nounced as if it rhymed with daughter. Slaughter is an old England surname, while the spelling of Slafter is not found. It is likely that the name was in some cases pro- nounced Slafter, however, and hence the na- tural change of spelling to conform to pro- nunciation, a change that is found in many other surnames.
The children of John Slafter were: Mary, born November, 1688; Anthony, about 1690; Elizabeth, about 1693; Samuel. August, 1696; Joseph, about 1698: Sarah, about 1700; Moses, about 1702 : Abigail, about 1704; Ben- jamin, about 1706. Their descendants have been carefully traced by Rey. Edmund F. Slafter, and there is no reason to think that any of them are the ancestors of the Slaugh- ter family mentioned below.
Tradition states that the Slaughter family of New York is connected with that of Vir- ginia, a brief account of which will be given. The coat-of-arms of the Virginia family has been in use from the first settlement, a copy is found on a seal to a bond of William Slaughter as sheriff, in 1685, and corresponds to the coats-of-arms of the Slaughters of counties Gloucester and Worcester, England. It is described by Burke: Arms, a saltire azure, and its simplicity indicates great an- tiquity.
In the early deeds and records of Virginia we find the name of Slaughter as early as 1635, when John Slaughter took out a patent for land. May 30. 1635. Again we find an old will of Francis Slaughter, taken from records in the State Library of Virginia, men- tioning his mother-in-law (meaning step- mother ) Margaret Upton, his brother-in-law, Colonel Moses Fauntleroy, his wife Elizabeth, and friend, Humphrey Booth. In the will of
I 204
NEW YORK.
this Margaret Upton, widow of Lieutenant John Upton, March 8, 1655, is a bequest to Francis Slaughter of 800 acres of land. Fran- cis was presumably son of John. Robert Slaughter, a generation or two later, had sons Robert and Francis by his wife, Frances Ann Jones, and they were church wardens of St. Mark's, the register of which is the oldest manuscript in Culpeper county, Virginia. The parish was established in 1730 and the county in 1748.
The New York family may have descended from the Virginia immigrant but in a geneal- ogy of the descendants of Robert and Fran- ces, sons of Robert, Isaac, the first settler in New York, cannot be found. Henry Slaugh- ter, of this family, was governor of New York state in 1691. He died August 2, 1691. An- other member, John Slaughter, was a settler on the Low patent in 1726, town of New Windsor, New York.
(I) Isaac Slaughter is said by family tra- dition to have descended from an immigrant from Wales to Virginia, a description which identifies John Slaughter, the Virginia immi- grant, closely enough. Isaac's parentage is not known. He was born in 1735, died Feb- ruary 16, 1838. He was a soldier in Wash- ington's army during the revolution, how- ever, and encamped with his regiment at Newburg, New York. He took part also in the battles of Ticonderoga and Crown Point, and served in the northern campaign. After the war he received a pension. He settled in the town of Wallkill after peace was declared, but subsequently removed to Shawangunk, Ul- ster county. New York, in 1803, and bought two hundred acres of land in the southeast corner of the town of Wallkill, occupied ever since by his family and descendants. In 1817 he bought the farm in what is now Hamp- tonburg and settled there in 1819. spending the remainder of his life there. He married twice and had nineteen children, nine by his first wife and ten by his second wife. His second wife was Jane ( McBride) Slaughter, born June 17, 1776. Children of second wife: Joseph, born October 13. 1794, died February 25, 1873 : Benjamin, April 1, 1796, died Octo- ber 4, 1841: Nancy, December 27. 1798, died in 1828; Archibald, February 19. 1800, died January 6, 1868: Fanny A., January 7, 1802, died in 1859; De Witt, mentioned below : Sa- ralı J., February 28, 1806; Harriet, 1809: William Harrison. July 6, 1815, died March
22, 1869; Amelia, 1817, died September 10, 1896.
Isaac Slaughter was a soldier in the Third Regiment, New York Line, under Colonel James Clinton. He was in the Ulster County Rangers in 1776, under Colonel Johannes Hardenburgh. His service probably extended from 1775 to 1782 pretty continuously. In 1790 James Slauter was living in Goshen, Or- ange county, New York, and had a family of four. lle may have been brother or father of Isaac. In 1790 Henry, John and William Slauter lived at Rye, Westchester county, New York, and were heads of families. There were numerous Slater, and several Slauter families in New York, in 1790, and some of them appear to have been Dutch. The name Sluyter appears among the Dutch in Ulster county early.
( II) DeWitt, son of Isaac Slaughter, was born in Orange county, New York, Septem- ber 3. 1803, died at Waverly, New York, Sep- tember 18, 1875. He was a farmer at Hamp- tonburg. He married, January 9, 1834, Caro- line Mills, born May 4, 1812, died November 9, 1861, daughter of Samuel and Esther (Still ) Mills. Children : Sarah Elizabeth, born May 26, 1835, died July 3. 1841 ; Sam- uel Wickham, mentioned below; James De Witt, March 9. 1840, died March 1, 1842; An- toinette, July 10, 1846, died March 18, 1868; Mary Caroline, June 22, 1850, died Septem- ber 4, 1854.
(III) Samuel Wickham, son of DeWitt Slaughter, was born at Hamptonburg, Orange county, New York. November 8, 1837, died in Waverly, Tioga county, New York, August 24, 1894. He attended the public schools and Chester and Middletown academies. In 1857, when he was twenty years old, he came with his father's family to Waverly from Orange county and engaged in business as a druggist. For more than thirty years he occupied the corner drug store in Waverly. In 1883, on account of ill health, he retired from active business. During the long period in which he was a merchant in Waverly, he was a leader in the commercial life and lent his as- sistance to every project designed to promote the growth and prosperity of the village. It has been truly said of him: "As a citizen Mr. Slaughter enjoyed to the fullest extent the confidence and respect of his fellow towns- men. Naturally of a retiring disposition, he always refused positions of public honor, yet
1295

he was ever interested in affairs and with every plan whose purpose was the commercial or spiritual prosperity of the village, his name was closely associated in wise counsel and generous contribution." In the few civil and educational offices that he was persuaded to fill, his promptness, clear judgment and ac- curate intuition, gave evidence of his pre- eminent ability to fill any station with credit and honor. His long connection with the Citi- zens' Bank of Waverly, of which he was vice- president from its organization in 1874 until his death, demonstrated that he possessed the characteristics of a successful financier. His nature was both studious and artistic, and his beautiful home and place of business bore am- , ple testimony. His business sagacity and skill in investing his savings brought to him a com- petence, but he was too generous to hoard and he was ever ready to listen to the poor and unfortunate and to give material aid, as well as kindly advice and sympathy. In 1874 he joined the Presbyterian church and for many years served on the board of trustees. To his business ability and generosity this church owes much. He was of few words but of kindly impulses and noble deeds. His piety was deep, but unaffected and cheerful. He was buried at Phillipsburg, Orange county, New York. In politics he was a Republican.
He married, May 13. 1873. Charlotte Wells, born at Goshen, New York, July 13, 1850, youngest daughter of Alfred and Lydia (Nyce) Wells ( see Wells VII). They had one child, Mary Gertrude, born April 26, 1890.

(I) Hon. William Welles, immigrant an- cestor, was born at or near Norwich, Nor- folkshire, England, in 1608. He came to America about 1635, and is said to have been a passenger on the ship "Free Love" of Lon- don, Robert Dennis, master, June 10, 1635. being twenty-seven years of age at the time. He settled at Southold, Suffolk county, Long Island. He was a lawyer in England and served as high sheriff of New Yorkshire on Long Island. Richard Welles, who is thought to have been his brother, came over in the ship "Globe" in 1635, and William doubtless came about the same time, landing at Salem or Boston. He first went to Lynn among the early settlers, where George Wells, also sup- posed to have been his brother, had settled. In 1640 he went from Massachusetts to New
Haven, Connecticut, and from there with other emigrants to Long Island, settling in 1641 at Southold, where he resided the re- mainder of his life. He died November 3, 1671, aged sixty-three years. He was prob- ably son of William Welles, prebendary of Norwich Cathedral and rector of St. Peter's, Mancroft, Norwich, England, from 1598 until his death in 1620. "The tomb of Prebendary Welles is in the church, and near the altar, of St. Peter's, Mancroft at Norwich, Eng- land, and bears the coat Armour of the Ba- rons Welles of Lincolnshire, with a bordure for difference. He was for thirty years a priest of great holiness of life and unwearied diligence in pastoral work in Norwich. He died May 26, 1620, aged 54.
William Welles, of Southold, Long Island, in 1649, questioned about land bought of In- dians. with Mr. Odell, for which he drew a deed, etc., in the court at New Haven. In 1653 he was a deputy to the New Haven general court, and complained of J. Youngs. In 1653 he petitioned to be free from public services, but was refused the petition. In 1656 the court ordered that his expenses be paid for going to New Haven in 1654. In 1657 he was elected deputy to the New Haven court, but did not attend. He was acting as attorney in 1660 at New Haven, and also as arbitrator of Southold. and in 1660 was re- corder of Southold. In 1661 he was ap- pointed assistant magistrate. He opposed uniting with the Connecticut colony, in Hart- ford, under a new charter, and reported the course taken to the New Haven Colony, in 1663. In 1664-65 Governor Nicoll of the state of New York appointed him sheriff of the east part of Long Island. He was deputy from Southold to the New York colonial as- sembly at Hempstead. Long Island, in 1665. On November 13. 1671, he deeded to his wife Mary all of his property in Southold. On his gravestone in the burying ground at South- old is the following inscription: "William Welles. of Southold. gent., Justice of the Peace and ist Sheriff of New Yorkshire of Long Island, who departed this life Nov. 13. 1671. Ae. 63."
"Yes, here he lies who speaketh yet, though dead; On wings of faith his soul to Heaven has fled. His pious deeds and charity was such
That of his praise no pen can write too much.
As was his life, so was (his) blest decease :
Hee lived in love and sweetly dyed in peace."

The Ford family was prominent FORD in Devonshire, England, and con- nected with the Drakes of Ashe. Sir Henry Ford, born 1520, only son of John Ford, of Bagtor, by wife Catherine, daugh- ter and heir of George Drake, of Sprattsbays, was lieutenant-colonel under his kinsman, Sir John Drake, of Ashie.
Timothy Ford, believed to be of the Devon- shire family, was born in England, and came in 1637 to Charlestown, Massachusetts, re- moved two years later to New Haven, Con- necticut, where he died August 28, 1684; his wife died July 25. 1681. He was one of the original proprietors of New Haven; his will dated, August II, 1682, bequeathed to chil- dren, Samuel, Mary, Bethia, Elizabeth, Mat- thew, John, Joshua Culver and Mathew Bel- lany. His son Mathew, born about 1650, lived in New Haven and had a son Matthew. born October 31, 1675.
Another Connecticut pioneer was Thomas Ford, of Milford, who married, in 1646, Eliz- abeth Knowles, of Fairfield, daughter of Alexander Knowles; his widow married Eli- ezer Rogers : children: Elizabeth, born 1652 : Jolin, November 14, 1654: Thomas, February 14, 1656: Mary, December, 1658; Lydia, 1660. The children of John, son of Thomas, were born after the father was forty years old, and it is possible that Matthew, men- tioned below, was son by a first wife, not known.
(I) Matthew Ford was born in 1689, prob- ably in Connecticut. From the names of chil- dren there is reason to believe that he was related to Matthew mentioned above, but he may be a grandson of Thomas, mentioned above. Corydon L. Ford, who collected data of all the known Ford family and whose manuscript, after his death, was deposited in the library of the New England Historic and Genealogical Society in Boston, says that as yet there had been found no clue to his origin.

It appears that all possible sources of infor- mation had been searched. Matthew Ford settled in Lebanon, Connecticut, as early as May 24, 1717, however, when he bought land at Lebanon.
