In 1818 he came to Spafford and settled on a farm on Lots 32, Sempronius, and 21, Tully, where he remained until the time of his decease, pursuing the occu- pation of farming and civil engineering. He was frequently called upon by his townspeople to fill town offices, and seldom during his active life did his name fail to appear in the list of town officials. Among the offices held by him were Supervisor, Assessor, Poor Master, School Commis- sioner, Inspector of Schools and Town Trustee, but most freuuently his name appears in the town books as Inspector of Schools; in fact for many years teachers in the schools of Spafford obtained their permit to follow this vocation from Joseph Bulfinch. He married Lydia Harrington be- fore coming to this town, and by her had the following children : Sarah Ann, married Andrew J. Eliot, son of Elias and Charity (Warner) Eliot, he is dead and she is residing (1899) in Onondaga Valley, N.

Joseph Harrington Bulfinch, born in Boston, Mass., December 6, 1816, and died at Yankton, S. D., November 12, 1897, inherited the literary tastes and studious habits of his father without his self confidence, and while he had few, if any, peers in the community in which he from time to time resided, as a man and a scholar, his inherent modesty fre- quently prevented him from holding positions of public trust and confidence, which his natural and acquired ability fitted

" Pause, my young friends a while before you further go, I once was gay as well as you, but now here lie low; Nor did I think I so soon must take my leave of you, But death called loud, I must obey and bid you all adieu ; Remember you must soon like me be mouldering in the clay, Those earthly fleeting joys must soon pass away ;
But there is a heaven of endless joy where saints immortal reign,
There free from sin, from sorrow, from grief and every pain."

R. I. Line (Continentals) from May, 1775, to January 1, 1777, participating in the Siege of Boston, the battles of Long Island, White Plains and Tren- ton, and receiving a gunshot wound in the battle of White Plains.

this latter occasion he came near losing his life, from drown- ing off Judith Point, R. I., by the capsizing of barges used in carrying soldiers employed in that expedition ; sixteen in all were thrown into the water, of whom only eight were saved, among the latter was Thompson Burdick.
Mr. Burdick was fouth in line of descent from Robert Burdick, the first settler in this country, and the common ancestor so far as known of the Burdick family generally in America. Tradition says that Robert Burdick came to this country from a small village in England, near the border line of Wales, but at just what time is not recorded. In November, 1652, he was baptized at Newport, R. I., and four years afterwards was made Freeman at the same place. In 1661 a company was formed, at the latter place, to colonize what was afterwards known as Westerly, R. I. Of these were Robert Burdick and Tobias Saunders. In Nov- ember of that year, Mr. Burdick and Mr. Saunders made a clearing, and put up a log house at the latter place, but were promptly arrested by order of Governor John Endicott, of Massachusetts, carried prisoners to Boston, tried and fined forty pounds apiece as trespassers, and ordered to give bonds to keep the peace. They were kept in prison several months, during which time they appealed to England for redress, but in the end the colonization company paid their fines, and they returned to Rhode Island. On November 2, 1655, Robert Burdick married at Newport, R. I., Ruth Hub- bard, daughter of Samuel and Tacy (Cooper) Hubbard, who was said to be the first white child born in Springfield, Mass., (January 11, 1640), and by her had nine children who arrived at maturity: Robert, Hubbard, Thomas, Naomi, Ruth, Benjamin, Samuel, Tacy and Deborah. Samuel Hub- bard and his wife Tacy Cooper, and their three daughters, Ruth, Rachel and Bethia were among the first to embrace the doctrines of the Seventh Day Baptist in this country, and to them, more than to any other persons, belongs the credit of the establishment of that denomination in America. Robert Burdick, after passing through various vicissitudes incident to the settlement of the Narragansett country, in Rhode Island, finally established himself at Westerly, R. I., where he reared his family and continued to reside until the time of his decease.
Hubbard Burdick, son of Robert, resided in the Town
