Captain Richard Brackett BRACKETT was one of the first of the name in America. It is known that he was in the colony of Massa-
1430
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
chusetts Bay as early as 1630. Other Brack- etts in the Bay Colony at an early date were Peter Brackett, of Boston, and Thomas Brackett, of Salem. Captain Richard Brack- ett testified by affidavit on July 2, 1668, that the year of his birth was 1612. His tomb- stone says "aged 80 years," deceased March 5. 1690. If this be so, he was born in 1610, which would make him nineteen years of age in 1629, the year he came to America. On August 27, 1630, he was among the colonists with whom Governor Winthrop organized the first church of Boston. With this church he remained twelve years, when he removed to Braintree. He was made a freeman of Bos- ton, 1636, and November 23, 1636, he be- came a member of the Ancient and Honor- able Artillery Company. While in Boston he was appointed by the general court keeper of the prison, and was jailer for several years. It is stated that the jailer described in Haw- thorne's "Scarlet Letter" was Richard Brack- ett. Captain Richard Brackett was one of the early settlers and incorporators of Brain- tree. He sold his Boston property and re- moved to Braintree in 1641-42. He was or- dained deacon of the Braintree church, July 21, 1642, and this office he held until his death. He was the first town clerk and held office several years. In 1652-70-72 he was selectman ; in 1654 he was elected represen- tative to the general court ; was also deputy in 1655-66-67-71-72-73-74-75-80. He was sergeant of the train band, lieutenant, and about 1654 was attacked by the Indians dur- ing King Philip's war; Captain Richard Brackett and his men were constantly em- ployed in that war, but there is little record of their doings. As he advanced in years he sought to unburden himself of some of his public duties. In 1684 the general court al- lowed him to resign his place as "chief mili- tary commander" of Braintree, after forty- three years of service, and thirty as captain. llis business in Braintree was farming; he had choice of the best land in the town, and acquired a considerable estate. When Bille- rica, Massachusetts, was incorporated, he be- came a frecholder ; two of his sons and two daughters later settled there. It is said that at one time he taught the Braintree school. He was a busy man, highly honored and re- spected. Ile is buried in the north precinct of Braintree, now Quincy.
His wife's name was Alice -. She
was his lifelong companion after their mar- riage, she preceeding him to the grave but one year, in 1689. A silver cup inscribed B used in the Unitarian church in Rand A Braintree (in early days Congregational) at
communion service is the gift of Captain Richard Brackett and his wife Alice to the church. He made his will January 29, 1689, remembered all his children, and nominated his son James to be sole executor. The will was approved at Boston, December 19, 1690. Children : 1. Hannah, killed by the Indians at Dunstable, now 'Nashua, New Hampshire ; married (first) Samuel Kingsley; (second) Deacon John Blanchard. 2.

All of these reared families, some of them very large ones.
(II) James, son of Captain Richard and Alice Brackett, was born in Braintree, Mas- sachusetts, about 1645. In deeds he is de- scribed as a "Cooper." In 1673 he removed to Boston, as shown by his letter of dismissal from the Braintree church to the Third (Old South) Church in Boston, where he was ad- mitted a member, March 2, 1673. In 1682 he returned to Braintree, according to similar evidence. He was admitted a freeman in Boston, May 12, 1675; clerk, 1689-94; was sergeant of the Braintree military company, 1695 : selectman, 1701-03. He seems to have bought and sold a good deal of land and to have been a man of some distinction. He married, in Braintree, about 1674. Sarah, born in Hingham, Massachusetts, December 22, 1649, died October 6, 1727, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Beal) Marsh, and grand- daughter of George and Elizabeth Marsh, who came to America in 1635.

(III) Nathan, son of James and Sarah (Marsh) Brackett, was baptized in Braintree, Massachusetts, September 29, 1678, in the First Church. His birth occurred on the 23rd. He lived continuously in Braintree from 1683 until his death, in May, 1743. He led the quiet life of a farmer, and never held public office. In 1723 he was chosen constable, but prevailed upon his brother-in-law to accept the office in his stead, the selectmen giving their consent. Neither he nor his wife united

1432
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
lege, a Methodist institution of learning at Mount Vernon. In September, 1872, he lo- cated in Saratoga Springs, New York, where he began the study of law in the office of Pond & French. In June, 1875, he was admitted to the New York bar, at the general term of the supreme court held at Elmira, and the same month his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of A.M. In the spring of 1876 he became the junior member of the law firm of Pond, French & Brackett, continuing this association for twelve years, when the firm be- came Pond & Brackett. He became the senior member of Brackett, Butler & Baucus; since 1891 he has practised his profession alone. He is a very able and successful practitioner, learned in the law, skillful in its application, wise and safe as a counselor. His advice and assistance is often sought by his legal breth- ren in the trial of cases, or in argument before appellate tribunals. In the year 1895 he began his public political career that continues to the present time (1910). In that year he was elected state senator from the district, com- posed of Saratoga, Schenectady and Wash- ington counties. He at once took prominent rank in the councils of his party (Republi- can) and in the work of the senate. He has been in continnous service in the senate through successive re-elections, except the years 1907-08. His course as a legislator has met with the approval of his district, and has attracted a great amount of favorable com- ment outside district and state. He is inde- pendent in thought and action, and neither threats nor promises have induced him to swerve from his privately formed opinion. The undue promotion of private interests at the expense of the people has always had in him a vigorous opponent. To no one man is more credit due for recent legislation in regard to the control of insurance and other companies than to the fearless, upright Sen- ator Brackett. In 1898 he received a further evidence of the high esteem in which he is held by his "Alma Mater" by the conferring upon him of the degree LL.D. He has always taken a great interest in educational matters, has served for several years upon the com- mittee of public education, and most gener- ously aided Cornell College with his influence and financial aid. His business interests be- yond law and politics are largely in Saratoga Springs. He is president of the Adirondack Trust Company and other of the village's en- terprises. He finds relaxation at the Saratoga Club, of which he is a member. He belongs to Rising Sun Lodge, No. 103, Free and Ac- cepted Masons, Chapter and Washington Commandery. Senator Brackett's deepest in-
terest is in the law. Valuable as his services have been to the state as a legislator, and apparently deeply engrossed in public affairs as he is, it is to the law that he has given his life's best thought and most earnest ef- fort, and it is as a lawyer that he prefers to go down in history. Still in the vigor of his manhood, he is actively engaged in his pro- fession, ranking with the most eminent in the state. He married, November 22, 1882, Mary Emma, daughter of Charles and Anna (Laing) Corliss. Children: Edgar Truman, Jr., born March 25, 1890, died July 10, 1899; Charles William, November 26, 1892.
CAMPBELL The house of Argyll, head of the Scottish Clan Camp- bell, have an authenticated history extending back to the great Diarmid Mac Dwibhne, who was contemporary with the 79th King of Scots, Anno Domini, 977. From him through lyric odes of the bards and tra- dition they trace thirteen generations further back into antiquity to Constantine, who came over from France in the year 404 and died Anno Domini, 420. In the seventeenth gen- eration from Constantine the whole clan O'Dwibhne in Argyllshire assumed the sur- name Campbell in courtesy to their chief, Ar- chibald, whose name or title was translated in the Latin Campus Bellus, and Campbell the name has since been. The family were noble for ten generations to Archibald, the tenth earl, who in 1701 was created by William the Third, Duke of Argyle. He was of the for- tieth generation. The present Duke of Argyle is the thirty-first Campbell in direct descent to hold the title.
The first of the clan to come to America and settle in northern New York was Captain Laughlin Campbell, a soldier of great courage, who visited Washington county in 1737 in response to the invitation of the New York authorities to Scotch Highlanders to settle here. Laughlin Campbell was a younger brother of the then Duke of Argyle. Being pleased with the country, he was promised a grant of thirty thousand acres for colony use, for survey fees and quit rent, by Lieutenant- Governor Clark. He returned to Scotland, sold his property, raised a colony of four hun- dred and twenty-three adults, and with a part of them came the next year (1738) to New York, where Governor Clark insisted on full fees and a share in the land. Campbell re- fused his demands, and Clark recommended the legislature to grant the colony assistance, but that body, then at war with the governor, declined to respond, as they suspected the money would go to the colonial officials for
1433
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
fees. The colonists were obliged to separate to earn their living, and Campbell, with the remains of his broken fortunes, purchased and settled down upon a small farm in the prov- ince. A few years after, in 1745, when the rebellion broke out in Scotland, he went back to that country and served under the Duke of Cumberland until the close of the war. He then returned to his family here, and died soon after from the effects of wounds received in the war. His children were afterward granted, in 1763, a tract of ten thousand acres in Washington county, in the town of Argyle, now Greenwich.
(II) Duncan, son of Captain Laughlin Campbell, settled in the town of Argyle, Washington county, New York, on the "Camp- bell Patent," near the Batten Kill, in 1765. In 1803 the town of Greenwich was created from Argyle and his farm was in the new town. It contained four hundred and fifty acres. From 1772 to 1780 Duncan Campbell was supervisor of the town. He married and had .issue. In the old burying ground at. Fort Edward, New York, may be seen an old tomb- stone, which must not be confounded with the burial place of Duncan Campbell, although he was a kinsman. "Here lyes the body of Dun- can Campbell of Invershaw Esq. Major to the old Highland regiment; aged 55 years who died the 17th of July 1758 of the wounds he received in the attack of the Retrenchments of Ticonderoga or Carillon 8th of July 1758."

He was a merchant, and one of the five trustees appointed to divide and distribute the land to the grantees under the Campbell patent. In 1772-73-74 he was town clerk.
