Slocum and Baldwin saw, from their places of concealment, that one of the searchers was John Pencel, Jr., the younger brother of Henry Pencel, their companion in flight. They knew him to be a pronounced Tory, who, some months previously, had left his home in the North District of Westmoreland for the purpose, presumably, of joining the British at Fort Niagara. He now passed slowly along, scrutinizing every covert, and had gone but a short distance when he discovered his brother Henry lying behind a fallen tree. Turning short upon him the Tory exclaimed, "So it's you, is it?" Henry, finding that he was dis- covered, stood up, moved forward a few steps, fell upon his knees, and begged his brother to spare his life; upon which John called him a damned

rebel. "John then went deliberately to a log and got on the same, while Henry was upon his knees imploring his brother not to kill him. 'I will,' said he, 'go with you and serve you as long as I live, if you will spare

my life. You won't kill your brother, will you ?' ' Yes,' replied the monster, 'I will, as soon as look at you. You are a damned rebel.' He then shot him, and afterwards went up and struck him four or five times with a tomahawk, and then scalped him. Immediately after one of the enemy com- ing to him said, 'What have you been doing, have you killed your brother ?' 'Yes,' said he, 'for he was Photo-reproduction of an early engraving entitled "The Fratricide at Wyoming." a damned rebel.' The other replied, 'I have a great mind to serve you in the same manner.' They went off together. In the evening [Giles] Slocum made his escape. Slocum is a man of repu- tation, and his word was never disputed in the neighborhood where he is known."*

The story of John Pencel, "the Fratricide of Wyoming," is narrated by nearly every early writer of Wyoming history; but in recent years the truth of the story has been attacked by some writers, chiefly on the ground that there is in existence in the collections of the Connecticut State Library an original petitiont dated at Westmoreland, January 23, 1781, addressed to the General Assembly of Connecticut, and signed by " John Pencil " and others-the conclusion of the objectors being that the John Pencil, or Pencel, who signed the petition was the same John Pencel who is alleged to have killed his brother and then gone to Canada, never to return to Wyoming. If this conclusion were correct the story of the "Fratricide " would fall to the ground, for the John Pencil of the petition was in 1781 a soldier in the Continental service, and liad been since 1777. But, as explained in the notet below, John

* Extracted from the diary of the Rev. William Rogers, D. D., Chaplain of the Third (General Hand's) Brigade in the Sullivan Expedition of 1779. The above facts were related by Lieut. Col. Zeb- ulon Butler to Dr. Rogers at Wyoming, July 8, 1779, and were recorded by the latter on that date.

A verbatim copy of this petition will be found printed in Chapter XX, post.

# It is stated in the journal of the Rev. Dr. Rogers, previously referred to, that "the family of the Pensells came [to Wyoming] from Lower Smithfield, on the Delaware, twenty miles above Easton." According to existing records the name of "John Pensil" (presumably the father) first appears in con- nection with Wyoming affairs in May, 1772, in the list of settlers printed on page 739, ante. In the following August, or September, John Pencel was joined by Henry Pencel (see page 750), and they were both in Wilkes-Barre in October, 1772, when they signed the memorial printed on page 751. The name of John Pencel, Jr., appears for the first time in December, 1772. (See page 757.) The name "John Pensil" appears in the tax-list of the North District of Westmoreland for the year 1777. (See page 947.) Early in 1777 John Pencel, Sr., enlisted in the company of either Capt. Solomon Strong or Capt. William Judd (see page 915), for service in the Continental army; and, as shown by the petition to the Connecticut Assembly previously mentioned, and printed in Chapter XX, was in service at Wilkes-Barre in January, 1781. According to the Rev. Dr. Rogers' journal the widow and seven chil- dren of Henry Pencel were in Wyoming in the Summer of 1779, "in very low circumstances."

The present writer has recently found in "Stephens' Transcripts-American Loyalists" (mentioned in the note on page 931, ante) a "schedule of the fosses of John Pencel from the Susquehanna," and a petition to the British Commissioners (mentioned on page 931) for compensation for said losses. The claim was made in 1787, and Pencel and his wife (who was Eva, daughter of Groddus Dingman-pre- sumably of Northampton County, Pennsylvania-and widow of James McNut) were then residing at Cataraqui in Canada. The petition sets forth that the claimant was a native of Germany, having come to America in early youth. His father took up lands-1,000 acres on the Susquehanna-from the Penn- sylvania Government twenty years previously. No part of the same was cleared till the claimant went

Pencil of the petition was the father of John and Henry Pencel, the actors in the tragedy on Monocanock Island.

To the present writer the incident of the "Fratricide " appears to be more indisputably authenticated than many other incidents which are recorded, and unhesitatingly accepted by the public, as having occurred in Wyoming during the reign of terror and violence which obtained here in the Summer of 1778. Giles Slocum, one of those who witnessed the Pencel tragedy, described it to many people immediately thereafter and later. In June, 1779, at Wyoming, he told the story to Maj. James Norris of the 3d New Hampshire Regiment, in the Sullivan Expedition, and in the following month he told it to Lieut. Col. Henry Dearborn, commanding the abovementioned regiment. Each of these officers recorded in his journal*, at the time, the facts of the tragedy as related by Slocum. As previously noted, the story of the tragedy was related by Lieut. Col. Zebulon Butler at Wyoming in July, 1779, to the Rev. William Rogers, D. D., who forthwith recorded the facts in his journal.t Isaac A. Chapman tells the story at length in his " History of Wyoming" (written in 1818 and published in 1830), and Colonel Stone, in his "Poetry and History of Wyoming " (published in 1840), after giving a brief account of the incident, states (page 215) :

"This tale is too horrible for belief; but a survivor of the battle, a Mr. Baldwin, whose name will occur again, confirmed its truth to the writer with his own lips. He knew the brothers well, and in August, 1839, declared the statement to be true."

Ensign Matthias Hollenback, who, with Capt. Robert Durkee, was attached to the right wing of the Americans (as mentioned on page 1012), was one of the last officers to leave the field. Durkee had been wounded some time previously, and, by the aid of Lieutenant Gore, had endeav- ored to get to the rear, but had failed. (See pages 835 and 893.) Hollenback, in his flight, came across Captain Durkee, and the latter exclaimed, "For God's sake, Hollenback, save me!" "His faithful brother in arms seized the wounded hero and carried him some distance toward the river, the murderous savages being in hot pursuit," says Peck in his " Wyoming " (page 107). But, being closely pressed by the Indians, Durkee prayed Hollenback to abandon him to his fate, as they would both lose their lives in any further effort to save him. Reluc- tantly Hollenback laid the Captain on the ground, saying, "God Almighty protect you, Captain," and then sped on towards the river.

- there himself, a year before his father, who was then living on the Delaware and came thence to the Susquehanna. Claimant cleared six acres, built a small house, had twelve sheep, two head of cattle, five horses, etc. "My father," declared the claimant, "died eight or nine years ago" (which would be in 1778 or 1779), and about eight years before his death gave the claimant, "by a writing," the land re- ferred to. That "through loyalty and attachment to the British Government the petitioner left the above- named place in 1778, and joined the King's troops and served until the reducement of Colonel Butler's Rangers." That, at the time of his leaving, his lands, horses, cattle, &c., were worth £1,499 16s. His house was burned and his deeds and papers were destroyed, and all his other property was "taken by the Indians." Claimant "had an elder brother, who was a soldier with the Americans. He died after his father-being killed in action. He left sons, who are of course heirs." Peter Wortman, being sworn, declared that he remembered "claimant living on the Susquehanna, and that his father and mother lived with him."

There are some statements which are unreasonable and improbable, and others which are absolutely false, in the petition of John Pencel. The Commissioners of Claims evidently looked upon his claim as one that was extremely shaky, for, on the ground of "want of title," they disallowed him any compen- sation for the alleged loss of his 1,000 acres of land, and for his other losses they allowed him only £57. The story of "The Fratricide of Wyoming" has not only been written by numerous diarists and his- torians, but has furnished a theme for writers of fiction and poetry. Prior to 1840 John G. Whittier wrote "The Death of the Fratricide," a poem of ten or a dozen stanzas. It is printed, in part, in Stone's "Poetry and History of Wyoming." In Peck's "Wyoming" there is a poem of fourteen stanzas on the "Fratricide," by an unknown writer of lesser rank than Whittier.

* The journals of Lieut. Colonel Dearborn and Major Norris are printed in the book entitled "Journals of the Military Expedition of Maj. Gen. John Sullivan Against the Six Nations of Indians in 1779." This book was published in 1887 by authority of the State of New York.

He had gone but a short distance when he heard the crash of a toma- hawk into poor Durkee's skull. The following account of Ensign Hollenback's escape across the Susquehanna was given by the Hon. William W. Potter of Pennsylvania in a speech which he delivered in the National House of Representatives, April 12, 1838 .*

"A more pleasing anecdote, evidencing the firmness, self-possession and consum- mate bravery of a well-known and distinguished citizen of Wyoming, lately deceased, who was an active participant in the battle [of Wyoming], has often been told me. I speak of the late Judge [Matthias] Hollenback, then an active and fearless youth. In the flight from the battle he divested himself of his clothes, preparatory to swimming the river. Hotly pursued by the Indians he held in his hand a guinea; when he plunged into the river he put the gold into his mouth. Before he had reached the middle of the stream the Indians arrived on the bank of the river, and immediately fired at him while swimming for the opposite shore. He cast his eyes backward, watching the flash of the rifle, and dived to avoid the fatal bullet aimed at him. He had to rise to the surface for air; again he was fired at, but was not quick enough in diving, and the bullet grazed his back. The pain caused him to open his mouth, and he lost his guinea. In after life, when he had become one of the inost wealthy men in the interior of our State, I have heard him close the story with the declaration: 'I felt more the loss of my solitary guinea, and was more vexed at the red rascals for the loss, than I have been since by much more serious disasters.' "

Having reached the eastern shore of the river Mr. Hollenback pro- ceeded as rapidly as possible to the fort at Wilkes-Barre, where he was one of the first, if not the first, to give a report of the battle.

Cyprian Hibbardt, a member of the Hanover company, and Samuel Careyt, a member of the Lower Wilkes-Barre company, fled from the

t CYPRIAN HIBBARD was born in 1752, the third son of Ebenezer and Hannah (Downer) Hibbard of Windham County, Connecticut. January 31, 1772, Cyprian Hibbard was admitted as a settler in Wyoming, under The Susquehanna Company, on the right of his brother, William Hibbard, and about the same time was admitted a proprietor in the town of Wilkes-Barre. (See pages 713 and 721.) He settled in Hanover, where he was married in 1777 to Sarah (born in Huntington, Connecticut, Novem- ber 19, 1750; died in Wilkes-Barre July 24, 1833), second child of Capt. Peleg Burritt, Jr., and his wife Deborah Beardsley (born in Stratford, Connecticut, February 21, 1726; died in Hanover, Wyoming Valley, August 7, 1802). Peleg Burritt, Jr. (born in Stratford, Connecticut, January 8, 1721; died in Hanover April 10, 1789), was the son of Peleg Burritt, and grandson of Ensign Stephen Burritt, who, according to Hinman, was a famous Indian fighter, and Commissary General to the army in King Philip's War. Stephen's father, William, the first of the name in this country, was an original settler in Stratford, Connecticut, prior to 1650. About 1778 or '74 Capt. Peleg Burritt, Jr., removed with his family to Hanover, in Wyoming Valley.

Cyprian Hibbard was survived by his wife and one child, Hannah Downer Hibbard (born in Han- over June 18, 1778), who fled from the Valley on July 4, 1778, and made their way over the mountains to Fort Allen on the Lehigh. Thence they proceeded, more slowly, to Connecticut. The next year Mrs. Hibbard returned with her child to Wyoming, and some years later she was married (2d) to Mat- thias Hollenback, q. v. Hannah Downer Hibbard, mentioned above, was married at Wilkes-Barre July 8, 1798, to John Alexander, a native of Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

# SAMUEL CAREY was born in Dutchess County, New York, August 12, 1758, the fourth son of Eleazar Carey, who was a descendant, in the fourth generation, of John Cary (born about 1600 in Somersetshire, England), who came to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1634. Ten years later John Cary was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Francis Godfrey, and they became the parents of six sons and five daughters. John Cary was a well-educated man and was successful in business affairs. According to tradition he was the first teacher of Latin in Plymouth Colony. He was elected Constable of Bridge- water, Massachusetts, upon the organization of the town in 1656, and a year or two later he was elected Town Clerk -- in which office he served continuously till his death in 1681 at what is now West Bridge- water. Francis Cary, the second child and son of John and Elizabeth (Godfrey) Cary, was born at Duxbury, Massachusetts, in 1647. He removed, with the other members of his father's family, to Bridgewater, where he was married in 1676 to Hannah, daughter of William Brett, an original propri- etor and prominent citizen of the town.' Francis Cary died in 1718, and was survived by two sons and three daughters. The eldest of these children was Samuel (born at Bridgewater in 1677), who in 1704 was married to Mary Poole. They became the parents of the following-named children, all born in Bridgewater: (i) Joseph, born in 1705; (ii) Lydia, born in 1706; (iii) Alice, born in 1707; (iv) Elisa- beth, born in 1709; (v) Samuel, born in 1711; (vi) David, born in 1713; (vii) Nathan, born in 1716; (viii) Eleazar, born in 1718; (ix) Mary, born in 1720. About 1728 Samuel and Mary (Poole) Cary and their children removed from Bridgewater to Dutchess County, New York, and settled at Dover.

(viii) Eleazar Cary, above named, was married about 1750 to Charity Sturdevant, and they settled at a place called Bond's Bridge in Dutchess County, where eight children were born to them. Seven of these grew to maturity, to wit: (1) Eleasar, born about 1751; (2) Nathan, born in October, 1755; (3) John, born May 7, 1756; (4) Samuel, born August 12, 1758; (5) Benjamin, born about 1763; (6) Comfort. born about 1766; (7) Mehetabel (became the wife of James Wright, and lived and died in the lower end of Wilkes-Barre Township).

Eleazar Cary, Sr., came to Wyoming Valley first in the Spring of 1769, being one of the company of settlers under the leadership of Major Durkee. (See pages 487 and 497, Vol. I.) He was one of the Yankees driven out of the Valley by the Pennamites in the Autumn of 1769, but with other settlers he was here again in the Summer and Autumn of 1770, at which time he was accompanied by his son John, a lad of fourteen years. (See pages 658, 660 and 667.) In 1771 Eleazar Cary was one of the men who, under the command of Zebulon Butler, besieged Fort Wyoming in Wilkes-Barre (see page 696); and in consideration of his services at that time he was admitted a proprietor in the town of Wilkes-Barre September 24, 1771. (See page 713.) Shortly after the capitulation of Fort Wyoming by the Penn-

amites Eleazar Cary went to his home in Dutchess County, but on the 24th of the following October he returned to Wilkes-Barre accompanied by his son Eleazar, Jr., and by Barnabas and John Cary, who, undoubtedly, were related to him. Barnabas Cary subsequently settled in Pittston.

At a town-meeting held January 21, 1778, Eleazar Cary was admitted a settler in the "Forty," or Kingston, Township. (See page 721.) About 1773 he purchased "Meadow Lot No. 2," in Wilkes-Barre, from James Stark, to whom it had been allctted when the town lands were distributed in the Spring of 1772. (See page 728.) This lot contained thirty-two acres, and it lay near the Wilkes-Barre-Hanover line, within the present limits of the Fifteenth Ward of the city of Wilkes-Barre. It extended from the present Carey Avenue north-westwardly to the river. Here Eleazar Cary built a house and estab- lished his family. Prior to 1800 John Cary, son of Eleazar, had become the owner of this lot, as well as part owner of Meadow Lots 1, 3 and 4 in the same locality. At that time, and, indeed, as early as 1789, the settlement at that place was locally known as "Careytown," and the road leading to it from a point a little below the town-plot of Wilkes-Barre was called "Careytown Road." After the erection of the city of Wilkes-Barre this road became one of the streets of the city, but continued to be called Careytown Road until March, 1887, when, by resolution of the City Council, its name was changed to "Carey Avenue."

Eleazar Cary died-presumably at Wilkes-Barre-in 1779, and November 20, 1779, Letters of Ad- ministration upon his estate were granted to his son Nathan by the Probate Court of Westmoreland- Jonathan Fitch being surety on a bond for £1,000. (The original bond is now in the collections of The Wyoming Historical and Geological Society.) The following is a verbatim copy of the inventory sub- sequently filed by Nathan Cary in the Probate Court. The original document is now in the collections of The Wyoming Historical and Geological Society.

The wife and eldest son-Eleazar, Jr .- of Eleazar Cary had died some years prior to 1779.

(8) Nathan Cary was born at Bond's Bridge, Dutchess County, New York, in October, 1755. He removed to Wilkes-Barre with the other members of his father's family, and lived at "Careytown." He was a private in the 1st Company, 24th Regiment, Connecticut Militia, and took part in the battle of Wyoming. When the rout began he fled to the river in company with three or four other Americans. They leaped down the bank, crawled along the margin of the river and hid themselves under a shelving part of the bank. Two of the party were found, killed and scalped by the Indians, but Cary escaped. He remained in hiding till nightfall, when he swam the river and made his way to the fort at Wilkes- Barre. Later he fled from the Valley, but a few weeks subsequently he returned and was at Wilkes- Barre in service for some time in the detachment of militia under the command of Lieut. Colonel Butler, as described in Chapter XVI. He was married July 11, 1788, to Jane, daughter of Adam Mann of Hanover, and they settled in that township. At that time Nathan Cary was one of the Constables of Westmoreland. In 1784, during the progress of the Second Pennamite-Yankee War (see Chapter XXI), Nathan Cary, Samuel Cary, John Inman, Richard Inman, Robert Hopkins, and a number of other Westmorelanders, were arrested by the Pennamites, conveyed to Sunbury, and detained there as prisoners in the jail of Northumberland County for some time. In September, 1785, Nathan Cary was admitted a "half-share proprietor" in the Susquehanna Purchase, under the resolution adopted by The Susquehanna Company in July, 1785. (See Chapter XXII.)

Upon the erection of Luzerne County, as described in a subsequent Chapter, Nathan Cary was elected and commissioned (April 7, 1787) Coroner of the County. He was re-elected and recommis- sioned to this office in October, 1787, and again in October, 1788. In 1790 Nathan, John and Comfort Cary were privates in the 3d Company (William Ross, Captain) of the Ist Regiment of Pennsylvania Militia in Luzerne County, commanded by Lieut. Col. Matthias Hollenback. In the Spring of 1797 Christopher Hurlbut of Hanover (whose wife, Elizabeth, was a sister of Nathan Cary's wife), accom- panied by his eldest son, John, went to Steuben County-in what was generally called, at that time, the "Genesee country"-in New York, where, upon the banks of the Canisteo River, at what is now Arkport, he acquired a tract of land and made a clearing. Later in the same year, or in 1798, he brought there his wife and their four daughters and three sons. Nathan Cary assisted in moving the family to their new home, and the party made the journey from Hanover in boats, by way of the Sus- quehanna, Chemung and Canisteo Rivers. Pleased with the location of his brother-in-law's land Nathan Cary bought 100 acres of it, and in 1799 removed thither from Hanover with his family. At that time there were living in that locality a number of families that had formerly lived in Wyoming Valley. Nathan Cary lived there until his death, March 18, 1835. The children of Nathan and Jane (Mann) Cary were as follows: (a) Johnson, born March 5, 1788; (b) Eleasar, born July 8, 1786; (c) Adam, born January 1, 1789, and died on board a steamer on the Mississippi River in July, 1820; (d) William, born February 8, 1791; (e) Christopher, born June 20, 1794.

(a) Johnson Cary spent a long life at Arkport, occupying the original homestead of his father, where he died when nearly eighty years of age. Of his children, Mary Ann (Mrs. William H. Hurlbut)

lives in Virginia; Elizabeth (wife of Dr. C. J. Reynolds) lives in Cuba, Allegany County, New York; Susan (Mrs. William S. Hurlbut) lives at Arkport; Jane and Caroline are dead.

(b) Eleazar Cary, or Carey (for it is said that he was the first of the family to use an "e" in the spelling of the surname), was born in Hanover, and removed with his parents to the Genesee country. There he lived until about 1805, when he removed to Pittston, in Wyoming Valley, and engaged in inn- keeping. In 1811 the first post-office was established in Pittston, and Eleazar Cary was appointed post- master. This office he held for nine or ten years, when he was succeeded by Zephaniah Knapp. During the greater part of the time that Mr. Carey conducted the post-office he was also engaged in mercantile business. About 1829 or '30 he settled in Wilkes-Barre, but about 1836 he removed hence to Summit Hill, Pennsylvania, where he was post-master in 1837. Shortly afterwards he returned to Wilkes-Barre, where he lived until his death. For a number of years he was a Justice of the Peace, and from May, 1843, to May, 1844, was Burgess of the borough of Wilkes-Barre. For a time he was editor of The Wyoming Republican and Farmer's Herald. He was married (1st) at Pittston, August 30, 1812, to Frances (born August 26, 1790), third child of William and Sarah (Sawyer) Slocum. (See Chapter XVII for a sketch of the Slocum family.) Mrs. Frances (Slocum) Carey died at Pittston April 7, 1822, leaving two daughters: Frances Slocum (born in 1817; married August 11, 1885, to Peter M. Osterhout of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, as his first wife; died, childless, in 1889); Rhoda Sawyer (born in 1822; died, unmarried, at San Diego, California, in January, 1898). Eleazar Carey was married (2d) at Wilkes-Barre, August 26, 1831, to Mrs. Rebecca D. (Jennison) Chapman, the widow of Isaac Abel Chapman, a sketch of whose life will be found in a subsequent chapter. Eleazar Carey died at his home on North River Street, between Market and Union Streets, Wilkes-Barre, January 20, 1853, and his body was interred in the old grave-yard, on East Market Street, but now rests in the City Cemetery. He was survived by his wife (who died subsequently to 1855), his daughter Rhoda, mentioned above, and his son Douglas (by his second wife), who was born at Wilkes-Barre in May, 1832. The last-named now resides at Wayne, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
