HISTORY OF ADDISON COUNTY.

Scott & Raymond had one of the basement stores, and Azro Benton another, and Griswold & Painter another. Entering the building from Main street into a large hall, on the right was the tailor shop of William Burritt, with his work rooms above; next came the city jail, and back of that the book-store and bindery of Jeptha Shedd. In front on the left hand side of the hall William R. Bixbey and William T. Ward had recently put a stock of goods, being the first goods ever brought through the Champlain Canal to Vergennes. Nathan Hos- kins's law office was in this building, and in December, 1824, Philip C. Tucker had opened a law office in the same building. This building was burned in 1830, and one man who was assisting to remove goods from the building was caught in the falling building and burned. In the middle of this block was a large, low, gambrel-roofed house occupied by Edward Sutton (formerly occu- pied by Amos Marsh and built by Jabez Fitch) ; the house was back from the road, with locust trees in front of it. A square building stood above the house, which was used as a law office by Smith Booth, and having been moved is now known as Dr. Ingham's chapel. The house now used for a dwelling by J. B. Husted was the Sutton store. A shed and storehouse occupied the pres- ent site of the Methodist Church. The green was then anything but an orna- ment to the city, with no trees on it, the ground uneven and at times very wet. The house of William White (now C. A. Booth's) was one of the few painted houses in the city. Samuel Wilson lived where the brick house is and used as a cabinet shop his present dwelling. Hector H. Crane, a merchant and after- wards landlord of the Eagle Hotel in Albany, N. Y., lived where Mr. Wood- bridge resides. By the side of the street at the corner of the green stood the hay scales, in striking contrast with the present conveniences for weighing; two ends and a narrow roof, leaving an open space into which the load could be drawn, where chains were fastened to the wheels and the load lifted by a wind- lass and the weight found by a scale beam and poise. Much of the ground northerly from the hay scales was public ground belonging to the city, and just back of the town hall and high on the rocks stood the court-house, built in 1798 for the use of the Legislature in the first instance, and then used for a court-house and a house of public worship, with a Masonic hall in the second story. It was a large square building conspicuous from its location and height. The Wheeler house was occupied by William Burritt for a dwelling house. The house where Dr. Kidder lives was then and had long been kept as a tavern. All public houses of entertainment were then called taverns. This house changed tenants very often ; Jesse Hollister, Benjamin G. Rogers, Bissell Case, Painter, Norman Allen, William Hartshorn, and Roswell Hawkins were among the number. The Maxfield house was then the dwelling of Daniel W. Buckley, and the stone building next was a famous store kept by Argalus and Daniel Harmon at an early day. A small yellow house stood on the lot now owned by R. Maldoon, where lived the widow of Dr. Hall. The family of

David Edmund occupied the house where J. W. Barnes lives. Edmund, who was the boast and pride of Vergennes from 1802 to his death in 1824, built the house at an early date. A small house and blacksmith's shop was near Paradee's place, and the American House was rented to Henry Cronk, long sheriff and constable in Vergennes, and prime mover in building a long two- story house opposite the hotel for a place of meeting for the few Methodists in Vergennes and vicinity ; they met in the upper room, reached by stairs on the outside. That house and the house then used as a dwelling in connection with the tannery in the Lyman Hollow, were the only ones beyond the Wheeler house on that side of the street, and there was only one on the other side beyond the American. On Water street lived Thomas Byrd, in a house where Dalrym- ple's store is. Miss Baldwin lived next in a small house known as the Wilcox house, then came the house soon after occupied by William Joslin, and then the blacksmith's shop of Benajah Webster, a building which had been the dwell- ing of Samuel Davis, and where Webster lived until he built the brick house opposite, when he converted his former dwelling into a shop. An old house stood on the present site of C. D. Keeler's residence. Near the dwelling of Robert Ross was a building used by Rodman Stowell for a slaughter-house. The old Green place (now Francis McDonough's) was then occupied by the widow of John Green, and mother of William E. Green.

On Water street north of Main, towards the wharf, was a mechanic's shop near John Liberty's, and at the base of Battery Hill lived Edmund Smith, a jeweler, in the house lately burned. The space between Potash Brook and the wharf was used as a ship-yard, owned by Captain Jahaziel Sherman, who lived in the house across the street from the wharf. About this time Nathan Daggett, a brother of Mrs. Sherman, opened a store at the wharf. A tow- path was this year opened to the lake, for towing boats to and from the lake. The steamboat Congress was advertised to make one trip every week from St. Johns to Whitehall and back, stopping at Vergennes one way. On Comfort Hill was found the dwelling of Edward Roberts; then Dr. Huntington's large yellow house ; then Cyrus Bostwick's, and next Jonathan Huntington's; and at the Seymour place was Nathan Daggett. Samuel McKillips lived at the Bots- ford farm and Moses McKillips where Ezra Champion lives. In the center of A. T. Smith's lot stood the gambrel-roofed house of Daniel Nichols, and Si- mon Bush, a cooper, lived where Laport lives. Rev. Alexander Lovell, pastor of the Congregational Church, lived in the Rugg house, on Elbow street ; Thomas Geer in the house on the corner. What is now Mrs. Adams's dwelling was then used for a district school-house, where Sidney Dunton taught school. The Bradbury place was the residence of William T. Ward, a merchant, and soon after of Harry B. Seymour; Noah Hawley, a lawyer, lived where the Parker House stands; then came a small house in which Simeon Willard lived. Jeptha Shedd's house is now Judge Roberts's. Where the Catholic Church

stands was a large house known as the Hitchcock house, but about this time occupied by E. J. Austin, a jeweler. Nearly opposite on Elbow street was the Bostwick House, as called afterwards, and all beyond to the creek was cow pasture. Richard Burroughs lived in the McCuen house, and years before taught a select school in his house. He was a graduate of Dartmouth College in the class of 1796; was a superior mathematician and published a work on trigonometry, navigation, and surveying. He died in Waltham at the age of ninety years, having been engaged in teaching about fifty years of his life. Fordyce Huntington lived where Mrs. Goulait now lives, and his cow pasture extended up beyond the cemetery. Beyond that lived John Irish and Peter Welch. On South street, east of Philo Bristol's place, lived Dr. Kent Wood, and on Short street, at the Sprague place, lived Edward J. Sutton. On Green street about this time the old wooden building on the corner of Main street was taken down and the lot was vacant a while. A small shop stood in the cen- ter of the block and one at the corner, with the stage barns back of it (so called because the stage horses were kept there ready for a change every time the stage passed through Vergennes). Opposite was Alfred Duncklee's cooper shop and where Cumming's paint shop is now was then Joshua Scott's blacksmith shop. The dwelling and grounds of E. D. Woodbridge occupied the whole of the school-house lot. Ratio L. Stowell had a hat shop in a small building op- posite, and a wheelwright's shop was on the Hawkins corner. A wooden house of one and a half stories, on the site of J. G. Hindes's house, was the home night and day of Walter Perry, a tailor, who lived there twenty years without going into Main street. In the Bixbey house lived William A. Emmons, a saddler. Next to the Hindes house on Green street was the most attractive house and grounds in the city - the home of Amos W. Barnum, at that time a bold and successful operator in the extensive and various business enterprises in which he was engaged. In his yard were tame deer, and bears chained ; running water in the back yard, brought from the hill; stables filled with racing and breeding horses of great fame; the house and grounds and stock evidencing the wealth and taste and skill of the owner. The house opposite was built and used by Ratio L. Stowell, who died in 1884 at the residence of his son-in-law, Walter A. Weed, in Shelburne. Abijah Barnum, a brother of Amos W., lived in a house where Mrs. Smith lives; one house on the corner below, the residence of - Spafford, and one opposite where Joshua Scott lived. Horace Wheeler, a business man of great enterprise, lived in the corner house northerly from the Tucker place and - Robley had a house and shop on the Tucker grounds. Cummings, a carpenter, lived opposite, and Phineas Young, from New Jersey, the father of a large family, lived near where his son, Benjamin F. Young, lives. Horace Wheeler's tannery was at or over the brook, and John McVene, a blacksmith, and father of John E. McVene, a suc- cessful lawyer, lived in the Dudley Gordon house. Nathan Hoskins, a lawyer,

had a small house where T. C. Middlebrooks resides, and Seth Geer where Ed- ward Hayes is. The old stone distillery stood where the same building now is, and was then in operation and thought to be as necessary as a grist-mill. In 1824 the owners advertised whisky by the barrel at thirty-seven cents per gallon. On East street was a cluster of small houses called French Village. In one of them resided a Frenchman worthy of honor and sympathy from all patriotic men. His name was Peter Chartie, sometimes called Sharkey and sometimes Carter. He was one of the French patriots who came to this coun- try with Lafayette and served with him in the Revolutionary War. It is pleasant to know that he received a pension from our government in his later years. One of his sons, John, built a log house on the bank of Otter Creek a mile below the falls and gave a name to the "Sharkey Bend " in the creek. The widow of his son Jacob (also a pensioner) died in Vergennes in Septem- ber, 1885.

During the second quarter of the present century the methods and customs in mercantile business were somewhat changed. Previously merchants bought only staple articles for sale, and, adding a large percentage for profits, they waited for customers that were pretty sure to come, and many of the early merchants became rich men. Conspicuous among this class in Vergennes were the Harmons, White & Brush, and Edward Sutton. Their day was fol- lowed by a time of sharper competition, of greater risks, and more numerous competitors for the trade of the country. Fancy goods were more largely in- troduced and profits were not quite as large. People came to Vergennes to buy goods from a great distance in every direction. The merchants of Ver- gennes as a class were equal to the situation and were generally successful. Villee Lawrence, among the older ones of this period, obtained the reputation of being a man of clear and comprehensive intellect, of great general informa- tion, and well versed in public affairs. His numerous elections to offices of trust and responsibility attest the favor of his acquaintances. A general in the militia of Vermont, representative of Vergennes in the Legislature, a county senator, assistant judge of County Court, and mayor of Vergennes, his ability was recognized in all those positions. He married in 1814 a daughter of Enoch Woodbridge and sister of Enoch D. Woodbridge, and lived several years in a small house where N. G. Norton now lives and then in a house on the site of the National Bank. He had three sons and three daughters. His oldest son, Henry C. Lawrence, is still living in Evanston, Ill. Charles B.

Lawrence became chief justice of Illinois and died a few years since. Edward, a farmer, died soon after. One daughter, Sarah, now deceased, married John Pierpoint, of Vergennes. The second, Elizabeth, married E. W. Blaisdell, of Rockford, Ill., and is still living; the third daughter married and died in Con- necticut. The wife of General Lawrence died young, and he remained a widower until his death at Vergennes in 1866, at the age of seventy-eight years. Fordyce Huntington, all his life a merchant, was a man of a happy temperament and passed a serene and tranquil life, winning the respect and affection of his associates. He was many years in partnership with Wm. H. White in trade, until Mr. White gave up the business to engage in other pur- suits. Mr. Huntington was the son of Ebenezer Huntington, one of the first settlers, and long a physician in Vergennes. Fordyce Huntington married Eliza Smith, a daughter of Noah Smith, and lived first in a house south of the Catholic Church, and later where C. T. and C. O. Stevens live. He was assist- ant judge of the County Court in 1842 and '43. He had two daughters; the oldest married John H. Bowman, then a merchant in Vergennes, and died in Rutland. The youngest daughter is still living in Vergennes. Wm. H. White was a popular merchant in his younger days, and partner of Fordyce Hunt- ington, until his preference for an active out-door life led him to relinquish the mercantile business. He was interested in farming, and in 1836 purchased the iron works in company with Apollos Austin and Henry Hewitt, and was always an active and busy man. He married Sarah Booth, a daughter of Sam- uel B. Booth, of Vergennes, and lived a while in the house now occupied by F. C. Strong. At the death of his father he moved into the house by the green, where he died in 1874. His wife, a most estimable woman, died in 1861. Only one daughter survived him, the wife of Cyrus A. Booth, of Ver- gennes.

William T. Parker, father of Mayor Parker, of Vergennes, and his brother and mercantile partner, George Parker, both of them strong characters and leading business men in Vergennes, are too well known to the present genera- tion to need further mention in this connection.

William T. Ward was a partner of William R. Bixbey from 1823 to 1828, and then traded for a number of years in a small red store at the west end of the bridge. The store was first used by Abel Tomlinson, afterward by Theo- dore Clark, then by Mr. Ward, and lastly by Obadiah Walker. Mr. Ward had a potash establishment near the present ice-house. He is remembered as a fine-looking and agreeable man. He married a daughter of John H. Sherrill and sister of Elliott Sherrill ; they had several children ; the family moved to Ohio.

John B. Lovell was a man of much enterprise, a bold and active business operator, and an impulsive man, but with firmness enough to pursue his plans with resolution. He sold goods in the Wheeler block on the corner of Main

and Green streets till the fire of 1830, and again after it was rebuilt. He lived where Edward Wheeler now lives. Horace Onion and Samuel Morgan, from Windsor county, were among the popular and successful merchants of Ver- gennes. After Mr. Onion retired from the business John H. Bowman came into the firm, and Morgan & Bowman continued the business. Mr. Onion re- turned to Chester. Mr. Morgan died in 1856 and Mr. Bowman now lives in Randolph, Mass.

Isaiah Scott, of the firm of Scott & Raymond, was in mercantile business but a few years when he was elected cashier of Vergennes Bank, which position he held until the marriage of his only daughter to J. D. Atwell, when Mr. Scott left Vergennes and Mr. Atwell was elected cashier. William R. Bixbey came from a Boston clerkship to Vergennes with a stock of goods about 1823 and opened a store in company with William T. Ward in the Wheeler block. He was very soon appointed postmaster by President Monroe, and held the po- sition till 1845. Mr. Bixbey from his first coming to Vergennes was an avowed supporter of religion and morality, and his whole life was marked by a constant practice and advocacy of his principles. He came here at the time when Sunday- schools were first started in Vermont, and very soon, in connection with John Shipherd, organized a Sunday-school which was held in the old court-house for many years and was a great success. Only two members of that first school have continued members of the same school to the present day. Mr. Bixbey continued to be superintendent about forty years. The agitation of the tem- perance question began soon after Mr. Bixbey commenced business, when he abandoned the sale of liquor and continued through his life a most determined opponent of the liquor traffic. He was an active and leading member of the Congregational Church fifty-seven years. He was a man of great firmness of character, positive and decided views, and ever faithful to his convictions of right and duty. He married Lucy Gove, whom he survived for a few years, and died in 1881, leaving two children, Mrs. Bissel, of Chicago, and William G. Bixbey, of Vergennes.

Very many other merchants have done business in Vergennes for shorter periods. There were eleven stores in 1824 and fourteen in 1842.

The lawyers in Vergennes are mentioned in the chapter on the Bench and Bar of Addison county.

Among the farmers, manufacturers, and mechanics were men of ability whose influence upon the public sentiment of Vergennes and her institutions has been felt and acknowledged. General Samuel P. Strong, an only son of General Samuel Strong, was brought up with habits of industry and economy. He married in 1818 Eliza Smith, a daughter of Judge Isaac Smith, and followed farming for some years on a large farm of intervale land in Vergennes and Pan- ton, lying south of the school-house in the western district, and in 1839 built the house lately occupied by Jacob Smith and family, and surrendered the care

of his home farm to Samuel P. Hopkins. He owned a large landed estate and several saw-mills. He was president of Vergennes Bank many years; was one of the directors of the Rutland and Burlington Railroad, and deeply interested in all that related to the prosperity of Vergennes. He was a man of positive opinions and few words, of a retiring disposition, and had little patience with shams and pretenses and all false show. He was thirty years a member of the Congregational Church, in which he took a deep interest. He died childless in 1864.

Major John Thompson was long identified with the business of Vergennes, and passed a busy life of many changes. When quite young he lived with his father on a farm near Basin Harbor, and could tell of coming to Vergennes to mill, bringing his grist on a horse when he had to cross Otter Creek at the Gage ferry, at the mouth of Dead Creek, as there were no bridges over Dead Creek. When older he went to live with General Strong, and in early man- hood was sent to the neighboring States and Canada to set up carding-ma- chines sold by General Strong, and collect the pay for them. In 1812 he mar- ried Susan Mather, whose parents lived where the bakery is, and went on a farm in Addison, where he remained but a short time and returned to Ver- gennes, buying the house and forty acres of land where he afterward lived, and started a carding-mill and cloth-dressing shop on the large island by the side of the grist-mill. In 1846 and '47 he was mayor of Vergennes. He was a man of strong peculiarities and much native shrewdness, firm in his attachments and in his prejudices. He died in 1867.

Elliott Sherrill, a son of John H. Sherrill, born at Albany, N. Y., in 1795, came with his parents when quite young to Vergennes; was married to Laura Bellamy, daughter of Justus Bellamy, of Vergennes, December 1, 1816. He was engaged in the early part of his business life in the carding and cloth- dressing business, at his mills on the west side of the creek, but at length re- tired to the farm now owned by his son. He was notable as a quiet. man of undoubted integrity and sound judgment, happy in the retirement of his home with his books and papers, and universally respected. He survived his wife a few years and died April 30, 1881, aged eighty-six years; one son, William A. Sherrill, and one daughter, Mrs. Green, now living in Vergennes.

Hosea Willard, whose parents went from West Windsor to Fair Haven in 1818, came from Fair Haven to Vergennes to practice his trade as a mason. He immediately acquired the reputation of being a skillful and rapid worker and soon became a contractor and builder, where he found scope for his clear judgment and quick eye and ready hand. The churches, bank, and many dwellings in Vergennes were built by him. His two brothers, Simeon and Den- nison, were also practical masons living in Vergennes. The active mind of Mr. Willard led him in later life to find occupation and amusement in the invention of many ingenious contrivances for saving labor. He married Betsey Benton,

October 28, 1832, who died in 1878, and Mr. Willard in 1883, leaving four children.

John D. Ward, who began his business life as a blacksmith working at his forge, is first heard of in Montreal, and was then called to this vicinity to assist in arranging an engine on a steamboat. Coming from Fort Cassin to Vergennes, when passing the house of Major Durand Roburds he saw in the yard in front of the house, Laura, daughter of Major Roburds, and felt that he had met his fate. Not long after he married her and she went with him to Montreal, where by industry and economy he was able to put up a furnace on the site of his blacksmith shop, and to take a trip to England and Scotland to inform himself in regard to his new business. He returned bringing with him Mr. William Ross from Scotland. He was successful in business, which he kept'enlarging. He at length sold his interest in it to his brother Lebbeus and came to Vergennes in 1828, purchasing the property of the Monkton Iron Company, where he dug the canal to carry the water, instead of the old flume, and put the works in order and managed them successfully until importuned to sell them; he fixed a price, $32,000, and his offer was accepted, and the prop- erty passed to the Vergennes Iron Company, consisting of Apollos Austin, William H. White, and Henry Hewitt. Mr. Ward left Vergennes in 1837, to the regret of most of the citizens, who had come to look upon him as a com- plete master of his business, as a most desirable citizen, and as a man of strong mind, who by his thorough self-culture had become an authority on scientific subjects and well versed in literary matters. William Ross, who came from Scotland to Montreal, and thence to Vergennes with John D. Ward, as a ma- chinist, was a respected citizen of Vergennes and a skillful worker in wood and iron. He died about 1871, leaving four sons and two daughters. His sons are all excellent machinists. Robert lives in Vergennes. Thomas, who was killed in Rutland by the bursting of an emery wheel, was proprietor of the Lincoln Iron Works in Rutland. While in Vergennes he, in company with F. M. Strong, invented the Howe scales, now being manufactured in Rutland. George is in Arkansas extensively engaged in lumbering. Crawford is a ma- chinist in West Rutland. Chilion Wines, a brother of Enoch Wines, a noted worker in the cause of prison reform, was a carpenter and joiner and contract- or; lived in the house now occupied by James Rock. He was a thoughtful man of considerable reading, a great Bible student, and interested in theories of Miller, the apostle of Second Adventism. Joshua Scott, a blacksmith, was an active and enthusiastic worker in every department in which he engaged. He was the father of Henry A. Scott, who found more agreeable music in the tones of the piano than in the ring of the anvil, and became a popular music teacher. Roswell Hawkins, a son of Roger Hawkins, an early settler in this vicinity, was an active, large-hearted man of varied pursuits in Vergennes. Samuel Wilson, an active and intelligent business man in Vergennes from 1816,

was a cabinet-maker for half a century or more, and is now living, at the age of ninety-five. The first building in Vergennes was the cabin of those who built the saw-mill on the west side of the creek, and on that side the principal business centered for some years; the next point to be improved was the farm- ing land above the falls on the east side, and lastly, what is now the business center. The fact that so many taverns were kept in Vergennes at an early day is suggestive of land speculators and lumbermen and a transient population. Gideon Spencer and Colonel Alexander Brush were the pioneers in tavern- keeping. In 1795 Jesse Hollister, Wm. Goodrich, David Harmon, Jacob Red- ington, Gideon Spencer, and Bulkley Johnson were licensed to keep "houses of public entertainment." Jesse Hollister kept on the easterly corner of Main and East streets; David Harmon where the old bank is; Jacob Redington on easterly corner of Main and Green streets; Gideon Spencer on west side of creek; Bulkley Johnson, unknown; William Goodrich directly opposite the present Stevens House. The Stevens House location was sold in March, 1795, for $120; in July, 1799, to Jesse Hollister for $840; in March, 1800, Hollister deeds to Azriah Painter for $3,000; in 1811 Painter deeds to A. W. Barnum, and in 1815 Barnum to White & Brush; in 1840 William H. White deeds to Chilion Wines and C. T. and C. O. Stevens for $3,000. Painter and his sons, Lyman and Hiram, probably kept the house from 1800 to 1816; then Thomas W. Rich till 1826; Austin Johnson till 1828; S. Dinsmore till 1830; J. W. Rogers till 1832; Milton Cram a short time; then Calvin H. Smith. In the survey of the town plot of Ferrisburgh in 1786 a lot in front of the green, ten rods on Main street and six rods on Green street, was designated as a public lot for court-house and jail. In 1796 the corner was leased to Justus Bellamy, on which he was to keep in order a jail forever. Roswell Hopkins and Jacob Redington had before leased it and probably built on it, but the lease was canceled. Redington kept tavern there a few years. The other half of the public lot was sold to Argalus Harmon for $450, in order to put the avails of the sale into building the court-house. The corner of Main and East streets was a favorite tavern stand until about 1835, but changed tenants often. The American Hotel was kept by Henry Cronk a while. In 1824 Thomas Stevens hired it of Amos W. Barnum, and he and his family kept the house most of the time till 1840. Under the old system of teaching the common branches only in the district schools, select schools were started in nearly every village. Richard Burroughs, James Ten Brooke, and Benjamin B. Allen were the most noted teachers of boys' schools in Vergennes. Mrs. Cooke, Miss Jewett, Miss Miller, Mrs. Leavitt, and many others taught young ladies the higher branches and the accomplishments. Mrs. Cooke taught a popular school in the upper room in the old court-house from 1824 about three years. Pre- vious to the advent of Mrs. Cooke in 1803 a bargain was made to erect a build- ing on the northerly corner of Main and Water streets for a store and dwelling
