Henry M. Matot, located on road 9, carries on a general blacksmithing business, and is also engaged in the manufacture of carriages and wagons.


Jeremiah Hall, the original inventor of the circular saw, while living in Mid- dlebury, which has attained such a wide popularity and proven of such in- estimable value in the manufacture of lumber, died here previous to 1863.


Although the township was chartered as early as 1763, we find no record of any meeting of the proprietors, nor of any movement towards its settlement, until nearly nine years after, when a meeting was called at Wrentham, Mass., October 6, 1772, at which Daniel Ide was chosen moderator, and Benjamin Day, clerk. According to the conditions of the charter, "the grant must be improved and possession in ten years from date, to a certain extent." It was owing to this fact, undoubtedly, that the meeting was called, as it was necessary that immediate steps be taken towards the settlement of the town, or their charter would be forfeited. Accordingly, it was voted to give half of forty-eight rights in " quantity and quality" to fifteen of the first settlers of the town, on condition that they make their settlement within one year from

date, and that they increase their number to forty-eight within a term of five years. Agreement was made with John Wilson to furnish these fifteen families, and he immediately started for Whiting, where he made surveys and pitches, and before the next August took actual possession with several families. No formal survey was made until the month of September, 1774, when the bounds of the town were formally laid out under the direction of a committee con- sisting of John Wilson and John Smith, with Joseph Prindle as surveyor.


Wilson came from Upton, Mass., and with him Elihu Marshall, and prob- ably, previous to the Revolution, the full number of fifteen as stipulated at the meeting held at Wrentham ; but there is no documentary evidence to sup- port this theory, it merely is to be inferred from the fact of the grantees giv- ing up their claim in the subsequent controversy relative to the Wilson title. But be that as it may, the settlers all left their claims at the breaking out of the war, returning again, most of them, after peace was declared ; and soon, May 27, 1783, a second meeting of the proprietors was held, this time at the house of Jonathan Fassett, of Pittsford, Vt., when Elihu Smith was chosen moderator, and Samuel Beach, clerk. At this meeting it was decided to "' cheque out" and make a draft for the first division lots, claiming that Wil- son had forfeited his right to his title by not furnishing the stipulated number of settlers. This may possibly have been true, but it surely was not just to oust the settlers from their improvements when they had been made in good faith, at least the said settlers were evidently of that opinion, judging from the following protest issued by them, savoring very much of the spirit shown by Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys :-


* Now we want to know what business a parcel of pretenders and land jockeys have to lay and cheque out a Town that has been settled and incorporated these seven years ? By what authority and power ? In whose name you presume to do this we know not ! The original Proprietors we know ; but who are you? Be you who, or what you will, we advise you to take council of the wisest of men, that is-' To let alone contention before it is meddled with.' Now, in the name and behalf of the inhabitants of the Town of Whiting who are legally settled and lawfully possessors of the same, we strictly forbid you, and publicly protest against your proceedings.


WHITING, May 27, 1783.


AARON PARSONS, JOHN SMITH, JOHN WILSON,


Selectmen."


Whether this letter had a salutary effect on the propensities of the pro- prietors towards covetousness, or whether their consciences had begun to prick them, we can not say; most certain it is, however, they did not presist in the course adopted, but on the 16th of the following October, the rupture was amicably adjusted, and the settlers retained their land. From this time settle- ment was so rapid that at the taking of the first census, in 1791, the town had a population of 250.


The first proprietors meeting held in the town met at the house of Gideon Walker, June 8, 1784, at which Gideon Walker was chosen moderator. It

appears from the records of this meeting that the proprietors, having pre- viously settled one vexed question, had to encounter another of no less grave character. Encroachments were being made upon their charter limits on the right hand and on the left. They therefore appointed a committee, chosen on the 12th of the following month, consisting of Ezra Allen, Samuel Beach, and Gideon Walker, to adjust these conflicting claims, by which Cornwall gained "all that portion of land lying west of the north part of Leicester,'' (Leicester claim then extended some distance north of Salisbury village,) and north of the present north line of Whiting, embracing a belt of land from a half to three-quarters of a mile in width. Leicester and Salisbury also had a portion, so that Whiting was reduced from its original 14,424 acres to about 7,042, though a considerable portion of that lost was swamp land and then considered worthless. The proprietors, stung with disappointment at losing so much of their territory, resolved to secure to themselves the most valuable of the remaining land, and, therefore, caused the public lots to be located in the swamps as far as possible. Although at the time such a course could not but be regarded in an unenviable, if not dishonorable light, still, time has shown that for the present and future generation, it has resulted more favor- ably than it would, had the lots been cast in a then more favored locality, for the reason that the land remained unleased until it became quite valuable on account of its timber.


Tradition says that Elihu Marshall made the first settlement, his possession having been pitched in a portion of the town now called "Walker Hill," about one hundred rods east of the old Walker Tavern-stand. Wilson located on the east bank of Otter Creek, nearly east of the Kelsey farm, and one and one-half miles in a direct line from Whiting meeting-house. Gideon and Jesse Walker, father and son, came in the spring of 1783, purchasing the improvements of Marshall. Here they planted grain, cut hay, etc., prepara- tory to removing their family thither, which they did in the spring of 1784, from Rutland, using the ice of Otter Creek as a highway until they reached Brown's camp, near Miller's bridge, in Sudbury, which was on the Military road leading from Ticonderoga to "No. 4" on the Connecticut River, near Charlestown, N. H. Jesse Walker used to relate that for a period of three weeks he and his father subsisted entirely upon potatoes and English turnips, seasoned with a small quantity of salt, and all that time labored arduously in refitting the old Marshall log house for the reception of their family, and that on their return to Rutland, they passed through Pittsford, where they procured a loaf of bread made of Indian meal, and baked on a board before the fire, claiming it to have been " the sweetest morsel that ever passed his lips." Gideon was a native of Rhode Island, born in 1736, and married Rachel Foster, in 1765. He died in 1792, at the age of fifty years, leaving six sons and one daughter, neither of whom are now living. Whitfield Walker, a grandson, son of Jesse, was an able man, and gained the respect of all, dying in 1874, in the eightieth year of his age. Abel Walker, another

grandson, is still a resident of the town, which he represented in the Legisla- ture during the years 1839, '40 and '43 ; was a delegate to revise the consti- tution of the State, and has held every office in the gift of his townsmen, having been a justice of the peace twenty years. The largest land owner in Whiting is George S. Walker.


Major Samuel Beach, the first representative of the town, was in Castleton with Ethan Allen just before the taking of Ticonderoga, and was sent by Allen to rally the Green Mountain Boys. He started on his mission at daylight, tramping through the wilderness to Rutland, thence to Pittsford, Brandon, Leicester, Salisbury and Middlebury, and from there to Cornwall, Whiting and Shoreham, a distance of sixty-four miles, between the rising and setting of the sun. The following day, at early dawn, he entered the fort by the side of Allen. His grandson, James E. Parker, has in his possession a pair of silk stockings worn by him on this memorable day, also the staff he carried on his weary journey, and a silk vest presented him by George Washington, which has Washington's profile woven in the silk in over thirty different places.


Joseph Needham came to Whiting from Connecticut in 1785, locating upon the farm now owned by the heirs of L. Needham, in the north part of the town.


Edward Casey, from Lansingburgh, Mass., came to Whiting at an early date, locating upon the farm now owned by Mrs. Louisa P. A. Casey.


Ezra Kelsey, a native of Killingworth, Conn., came to Whiting in 1807, locating upon the place now owned by Calvin Kelsey, four generations of the family having occupied the place.


Miles Baldwin settled upon the farm now owned by Mrs. Hetty Baldwin, about the year 1790.


Mr. F. D. Douglass, well known as a manager of the Board of Agriculture and a prominent writer and speaker on agricultural matters, was a pioneer in dairy improvement and the first to advocate the new method of butter mak- ing, the deep-setting of milk.


The first frame house erected in the town was built about the year 1788, by Dr. Aaron Mack, half a mile west of the old stage road, on the road leading from the north part of the town to Shoreham. It was antique in style, and doubtless to our modern eyes would appear grotesque, with gambrel roof and attic windows. Still, at that day it was considered quite grand, the height of architectural beauty. Following the example of Dr. Mack, others soon changed their log houses for more commmodious structures. Among those who early adopted this innovation of style was Luther Drury, who erected a low frame house, 30 x 40 feet, in the northern part of the town, where he opened a tavern, the first ever kept in the township. Next in train, Dea. Jehiel Munger, a native of Brimfield, Mass., built a two story house, the first of the kind in Whiting, its size being 30 x 40 feet. This was soon followed by one erected by Joseph Needham, differing from the former only in having a

square instead of a gambrel roof. Both of these buildings are now standing, the first, on the road leading from the meeting-house to Shoreham, the sec- ond, on the "Governor's right " in the southwestern part of the town. Stukely Stone, from Rhode Island, and I - Parks, from Massachu- setts, a son of one of the original proprietors, soon after erected two-story buildings, both of which are now standing. They all show the marks of age, dilapidation and decay, having been built previous to 1800.


The first mill erected was a saw-mill, built by Jehiel and Moses Munger, in 1803. It stood on a small stream, the power being adequate for its use only about three or four months during the year, and entirely insufficient to meet the wants of the inhabitants. Accordingly, another mill was con- structed, some fifty rods below the former, in the year 1812, and both were kept in operation during the spring and fall of each year, until 1830, or thereabouts, when both were abandoned on account of the insufficiency of water. In 1825, Andrew M. Baldwin built a mill in the northwestern part of the town, which possessed about the same advantages as the former, and which, like them, was after a time given up as unprofitable.


The first man who died in Whiting was Elihu Smith, who was buried on an island near the west bank of Otter Creek. The first marriage was that of Rachel Walker, daughter of Gideon, to Aaron Beach, a brother of Samuel, in 1784 or '85, and their first child, Noah, was the first child born in the town, and was unfortunately scalded to death in infancy. The person who attained the greatest age was Gershom Justice, who died at the age of 101 years. The first town officers were, Gideon .Walker, moderator ; John Smith, town clerk ; John Wilson, John Smith, and Aaron Parsons, selectmen.


Whiting, though a strictly agricultural territory and not able to boast of its extensive manufactories, its renowned mechanics or inventors, still looks with pride in retrospect upon the hardy sons of toil who inhabited its soil. In nearly every State in the Union may be found representatives from its little area, honest, upright men, not a few of whom have gained renown. It has also furnished no inconsiderable contributions to the professions-to litera- ture, medicine, politics, divinity and art. It at least can claim the honor of furnishing one comptroller for the State of New York, and also the eminent dignity of having furnished a mayor, for two years at least, to the proud city of New York, in the person of Hon. Aaron Clark. And what Whitingtonian does not mention with pride the name of that venerable divine, Joseph W. Sawyer ? Or of that poet, scholar, and "man of the law," Hon. Jesse Walker? And that marble shaft in the quiet churchyard at Whiting village, bearing the simple inscription,


" MAJ. SAMUEL BEACH, Died April 10, 1829, aged 77 years. An officer in the War of the Revolution, and one of the few who, under Ethan Allen, surprised and took Ticonderoga,"


proclaims that the town has possessed men of martial spirit,-men whose

memory the present generation loves to honor. During the war of 1812, a company was raised here, and on the roth of September, 1814, they started, under command of Capt. Solomon Foster, for Plattsburgh. During our late civil war the part that Whiting took did its people no discredit, and tar- nished not the bright record left by its earlier heroes.


During the first few years subsequent to the settlement of the town, like all new colonies, there was less attention paid to religious matters than at a latter stage of improvement. Still, the pioneers of Whiting sustained well their inherited predelictions towards the christian cause, and when opportunity offered, gladly heard the message of peace spoken by itinerant preachers, or at times attended meeting in Orwell at the old Baptist church. On the 19th of February, 1799, a Congregational society having ten members was or- ganized by Rev. Benjamin Worcester, and six days later a Baptist society with twelve members was formed, a branch of the Orwell church. On the Ist of January, 1800, Rev. David Rathbone received and accepted the call of both churches in union, and was duly installed as the first settled minister. He was a lame man, who from his birth had not walked without crutches, and when he preached always sat. On the 23d of the following October, by his own request he was dismissed, though he continued to labor with the churches in 1804. In 1828, the Method- ists commenced to have circuit preaching, but after a time became too feeble to sustain even this effort. On October 25, 1821, the Universalists organized a church, under the pastorate of Rev. James Rabbit, who ministered to them a quarter of the time for several years, and they now own one quarter of the Union building. The Congregational society has quite lost its organization, while the Baptists have sixty-one members, under the pastoral care of Rev. Lyman Smith, which position he has retained during the past fifteen years. Their first house of worship, and the first erected in the town, was built in 1808, and rebuilt in 1841, so that it will now accommodate 200 persons. Its original cost was $2,500.00, though its present value, including grounds, is only $2,000.00. Three years after the building of this church, in 1811, the Union edifice was commenced, though it was not completed until 1823, costing $3,000.00, about its present value including grounds, and is a com- fortable structure, capable of seating 250 persons.
