Captain Isaac Clark, the old " Rifle Clark," of Revolutionary fame, came here at a very early day, but moved a short time afterwards to Castleton. Cephas Carpenter was the first to settle on the farm now owned by Captain Enos Fish. Wilson Carpenter followed him a short time after, and settled in the south part of the town. Caleb Williams moved to Ira at an early date and resided here until his death in 1872. Justus Collins was another early settler. He cleared the farm now occupied by his son, Harry Collins, who is now an extensive blooded stock-breeder. Salmon Kingsley came here about 1776, and afterwards removed to the West, where he died in 1828.

The town was organized on the 3Ist day of May, 1779. The first officers elected were : George Sherman, moderator of the meeting; Isaac Clark, town clerk; Nathaniel Mallory, constable ; Nathan Lee, Amos Herrick and Isaac Clark, selectmen. Isaac Clark was chosen the first representative of the town in the following fall.

The pioneer settlers of Ira were frequently exposed to the raids of the In- dians and the depredations of the British soldiers during the Revolution, and at an early day took measures for self-protection. For example, on the 20th of August, 1780, a special town meeting was held in the house of Joseph Wood, and among other measures the following vote was carried: "Voted that the town raise for three months, two men to scout in the frontier, except sooner discharged, that the town pay said men for their services two pounds per month, that each man pays according as he stands in the list. Test, Joseph Wood, town clerk." Feeling also ran very high here against the Tories, as witness the forcible expulsion from the community of the outspoken John Lee.

The War of 1812, too, brought six minute men, volunteers from Ira : Jason Newton, jr., Seth Russell, David Johnson, Hosea Goodspeed, Nathaniel Tower, James Hunter. The following either went to or started for Plattsburg when the call was made for men : Matthew Anderson, Edmund Whitmore, Thomas C. Newton, John Mason, Russell Fish, Leonard Fish, Leonard Mason, Jacob Butler, Abel Spencer, Noah Peck, Barton Collins, Nathan Collins, jr., Smith Johnson and Freeman Johnson; Edward Carpenter, Israel Carpenter, John Hall, Isaiah Mason, Nathaniel Wilmarth, Wilson Carpenter and Omri Warner. Preserved Fish received a dispatch one Sunday to start immediately for West Clarendon and notify the people of the call for soldiers. He found most of the inhabitants at meeting, but on receiving the news they at once dispersed and made so active preparations that on Monday morning they started with stores of provisions for Plattsburg.

The epidemic of 1813 smote the families of Ira with as hard a hand as was laid upon any of the afflicted towns in the county, sixteen or seventeen being carried over to the majority with it.

Ecclesiastical. - The Baptist Church of Ira was organized in the summer of 1783, by the Rev. Thomas Skeels who had preached here occasionally for eight years previously. He was the first pastor. Cephas Carpenter was the clerk, and Reuben Baker the first deacon. Mr. Skeels left in the spring of 1785, and was succeeded in February, 1786, by Rev. Amasa Brown. His resi- dence here continued only until the following January. Deacon Reuben Baker was licensed to preach on the 20th of May, 1788, and ministered to the church for several years, but was never ordained. Rev. Thomas Skeels was again set- tled in the pastorate on the 15th of November, 1791, but died in one year, and for several years the church was again without a pastor. From December 3Ist, 1801, to 1812, Rev. Joseph Carpenter was pastor ; from 1813 to Novem- ber, 1815, Rev. Leland Howard ; from 1815 to 1819, Rev. William McCuller ; from July 10, 1822, to 1825, Rev. Lyman Glazier; 1825 to 1827, Rev. John Peck; 1828 to 1830, Rev. Artemas Arnold ; 1832 to 1836, Rev. Joseph Par- ker; 1836 to 1837, Rev. John Cannon ; 1838 to 1842, Rev. Elias Hurlbut ; 1843 to 1844, Rev. Jacob P. Huntington ; 1847 to 1852, Rev. Levi Smith ; 1854 for a great many years, Rev. Norman Clark.

The remarkable revivals, together with the number added to the church, have been as follows: 1753 a great many professed their awakening; in No- vember, 1808, 225 were added to the membership, but on the 18th of June, 1812, the membership was diminished by the establishment of a church at West Clarendon ; in 1816, forty persons joined the church ; in March, 1837, about 100 accessions were made; in 1838 thirty new members were received ; in 1858 between twenty and thirty were added. The church edifice was erected in 1852, at a cost of about $2,000. Leonard Moses, Bradley Fish and John Jones, were the building committee.

CHAPTER XXIX.

HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MENDON.

T HE town of Mendon is situated a little northeast of the center of the county. Its surface is taken up mostly by the Green Mountains, which render the greater part of it non-arable, although in the western portion of the town are to be found a few farms of considerable value, especially for grazing purposes. The township is bounded on the north by Chittenden, on the east by Sher- burne, on the south by Shrewsbury, and on the west by Rutland. The town is watered by numerous mountain streams, abounding in trout, and affording excellent mill-sites, the largest stream being East Creek, which flows westerly through the northern part of the town. The principal business is lumbering.

On the 23d day of February, 1781, Governor Thomas Chittenden, by and with the advice and consent of the Council and General Assembly, in pursuance of a petition presented by the Hon. Joseph Bowker and thirty-four associates, granted them the town of Medway, now Mendon. The conditions of this grant were as follows : Each proprietor of Medway, his heirs or assigns, was to plant and cultivate five acres of land, and build a house at least eighteen feet square (on the floor), or have one family settled on his right or share within three years from the first day of June, 1781. A violation of any of these conditions wrought a forfeiture of the right of the delinquent, and a reversion of the land to the freemen of the State. On the 7th of November, 1804, a tract of land called " Parker's Gore " was annexed to the town, and the name Parkerstown substituted for Medway.

The first town meeting was held at the house of Johnson Richardson, by virtue of a warning signed by John Fuller, justice of the peace. The moder- ator of the meeting was Darius Chipman. The following town officers were elected : Town clerk, John Page ; selectmen, Benjamin Farmer, Johnson Rich- ardson, Daniel Bradish ; town treasurer, Benjamin Farmer; constable, Minot Farmer ; listers, Nahum Goddard, Minot Farmer, Philip Perkins; highway surveyors, Ira Ingerson, Minot Farmer, James Cummings.

The selectmen were at this meeting chosen a committee to receive from Jonathan Parker, esq., a deed for a certain mill privilege for the use of the town.

636

HISTORY OF RUTLAND COUNTY.

The first recorded birth in Parkerstown was that of Trowbridge Maynard Richardson, son of Johnson and Sibil Richardson, November 7th, 1800. The first marriage was that of Lyman Parker and Lucy Perkins, December 4, 1809. It is more than probable, however, that these were not the first birth and mar- riage in the town, but merely the first recorded.

Concerning the first settlers in the town, but little is known. The first two families to settle here were probably Johnson Richardson and his family, and Jonathan Eggleston and his family. The latter moved into the northwest part of the town about 1792, and many of his descendants are still residents there. In 1811 there were only ten freemen in town, viz. : Zidon Edson, Joseph Ross, Rufus Richardson, Johnson Richardson, Rogers Eggleston, James Eggleston, John Shaw, Eliphalet Webster, William Shaw, Simeon Russell. In 1812 the town had sixteen voters, and in 1823, twenty-eight.

Zidon Edson, another early settler, was born in Grafton, Vt., and in 1810 erected the first mill in town, which was destroyed by a freshet in 1811. He was an honest, rugged New Englander, well fitted by nature and inclination for the legal profession, but forced by untoward circumstances to pass his life on a farm. Cyrus Edson, father of Ezra Edson, came to Parkerstown in 1825. He was born in Bridgewater, Mass. He used to make wooden sap-buckets, plates and salt-cellars, the first things of the kind manufactured in Mendon. Ezra Edson came into town with his father's family, but in 1838 moved away to learn the blacksmith's trade. He came back to Mendon in 1840.

Some time after 1820 Sarah Bennett, known as "Sally " Bennett, lived over the Notch, and made baskets for a living. She resided there a number of years and then moved to Lowell. She was afterwards burned to death in Mo- bile, Ala.

Mrs. Newton Squier was born in Rutland, August 25, 1821, came to Men- don to live in 1826; returned to Rutland in 1833 ; was married to Newton Squier on the 13th of September, 1841, at the hotel in Mendon, and has since then made this town her home. Newton Squier was born in Rutland on the 8th of September, 1811. Began to work in the old tannery in Mendon when he was nineteen years of age. From 1837 to 1841 he lived in Leicester, Vt.

Parker's Gore was a tract of land purchased from the county by Jonathan Parker, of Rutland, in 1804. It was to have been sold to the highest bidder by the high sheriff of the county, at that time Abraham Ives, of Wallingford. On the day advertised for the sale to take place Ives, in the interest of certain Rutland men, opened the sale at midnight and sold the land to Parker at a nominal value, making the sale of advantage to himself. For this act he was- obliged to resign his office and leave the State to avoid prosecution. The township retained the name of " Parkerstown " until November 6, 1828, when it assumed its present name of Mendon.

" But one Indian ever lived in the town since the settlement of the whites ;

he was known as Indian John. He had, previous to coming to Medway, or Parkerstown, belonged to some tribe of Indians in the western part of New York. A number of families of whites made a settlement not far from the In- dian settlement, and the Indians determined to plunder and destroy them. Indian John gave the whites warning and they prepared for them, so the project failed. The Indians mistrusted John and slit the rims of his ears, and he then found they were devising a harder punishment for him. He accord- ingly fled to the American army. They were about to go through the wilder- ness towards the lake to join some others there. He knew they would be way- laid by Indians and piloted them another route from what they had designed to go. They went safely and for the act the government gave him a reward. He had also a pension from the government. But the Indians were furious and determined on his destruction. He found his way, however, into the wilds of Parkerstown and built a camp not far from Johnson Richardson's, where he used to make quite a home. Indians used to come lurking about, suspecting something of his whereabouts; sometimes they kept around many days; the family would keep him secreted till they were gone. Once three of them got on his track and followed on till they got a glimpse of him, but he got a glimpse of them also. He came to a brook and crossed it on a log. There happened to be a large tree turned up by the roots exactly in range of the log he had crossed. He fled behind the turned-up roots and waited. They followed his track, came to the log, held a short talk, then all three started to cross ; he, meantime, had made a hole through the dirt on the roots so that he could put his gun through and take good aim ; when they were fairly in range, one after the other, he fired, killed two and wounded the third. He ran and took one of the Indian guns and shot the third, and then went to work and hid the dead Indians, took their guns and went to Richardson's and told them what he had done. He was never molested after that, only some Indians once in Rut- land made inquiry, but could learn nothing about him. He used to bring in pieces of lead which he said he found, and promised he would sometime tell where there was plenty of it. He lived to be very old : no one knew his age, but judged him to be over ninety years. He died very suddenly. He tried to tell something before he died, but could not make them understand."1

Early Business .- The first public house in town was kept by Johnson Richardson, and stood in District No. I. The house is now gone and from the center of the old cellar a tree, two feet in diameter, stands like an immov- able sentinel. This is the farm now occupied by Reuben Ranger, a little west of his home. Rufus Richardson kept it after Johnson Richardson ; A. B. Campbell followed him, and finally Ira W. Seward kept it until it burned. The second tavern here, in point of time, stood and still stands, though now unoc- cupied, about half a mile below the present residence of General Edward H.

Ripley. The original proprietors were Asa Hale and Josiah Hale, about whom little or nothing is known. Thomas Hooker bought it of them, and sold it to John and William Shaw. As early as 1810 they sold to Elisha Estarbrooks, who remained a number of years. Ebenezer Mussey purchased it of Estar- brooks, and Edward Mussey, his son, bought it of him in 1831. He kept this house for ten years. Then he purchased of Alanson Mason, Ambrose Brown and James Barrett the house now occupied by General Edward H. Ripley. He continued the entertainment of guests in this house until January 19, 1853, when he sold the property to William Y. Ripley. It was thereafter never used for hotel purposes. There has been no hotel in town in the past fifteen years.

There have never been any grist-mills, asheries or distilleries in Mendon. In 1834 Draper Ruggles, of Rutland, and his brother-in-law, Norman Hurd, under the firm name of Ruggles & Hurd, built a tannery in the northwest part of the town, in the hollow opposite the present post-office. They oper- ated it two or three years and failed. The property passed into the hands of Alanson Mason, James Barrett and Ambrose L. Brown. Mason soon tired of the business and went West. Barrett secured the services of John Osborn, of Danvers, Mass., to operate the tannery. Osborn carried on the business until 1850, and ran a store in the village at the same time. Barrett then converted the mill into a pill-box factory in the spring of 1854, being for a time in com- pany with Augustine D Waymouth and Isaiah L. Averill. In 1866 W. C. Walker purchased the property and began to manufacture worsted. He or- ganized a corporation called the Pioneer Worsted Company. All the looms and machinery and skilled workmen came from England. The company soon failed and the building was used for the manufacture of woven curtains. It was burned about twelve years ago.

Post- Office .- Edward Mussey was the first postmaster in Mendon. He was appointed about 1841 and kept the office in his hotel, the building now occupied by General Ripley as a summer residence. In 1853 he was suc- ceeded by Amasa Nichols, and he by A. G. Bagley. The next postmaster was James Blaisdell, who, after a brief interval, deserted his family and ran away with another woman. His wife then kept the office until another appointment was made, and James Furman began the performance of post-office duties. Then, until 1880, William Hall kept the office, and was succeeded by John Moss and Edward Pomeroy. The present postmaster, Alonzo Ormsby, was appointed on the_23d of February, 1882. There has always been a store con- nected with the post-office. The building now occupied by Mr. Ormsby is the one that John Osborn erected for mercantile purposes in 1840.

During the Civil War, Mendon, scanty in numbers though her population was, furnished for soldiers more than one-half the number of legal voters in the town ; paid in bounties the sum of $13,000; and in commutation money, $2,400. She furnished two men more than the number required to fill her quota. The following is a list of the soldiers credited to Mendon :-

Ecclesiastical .- The history of church organizations in Mendon is a narra- tive of tentative efforts which have not, with one exception, been entirely suc- cessful. The first preacher in Mendon, of whom mention is anywhere made, was Thomas Hunt, who was ordained an elder of the Methodist Reformed Church in Douglas, Mass., and came to Mendon in 1818. In 1819 Blackmer Cook, a blind preacher, brought a certificate from a Free Will Baptist Church in Burrillville, licensing him to preach and baptize, and to form a church. He lived "over the Notch," and in addition to his preaching, he used to peddle al- manacs in winter. He did not succeed in establishing a church. In the latter part of the year 1835 a young man named Crowley preached here for a time. He would have been ordained and settled here but for a difference arising be- tween himself and the inhabitants concerning the price of a lot reserved in the

town charter for the " first settled minister of the gospel." He insisted upon having title to the land in fee, which they refused.

On the 23d of January, 1836, the Union Evangelical Society was formed with the following members : Draper Ruggles, Henry Strong, Ira Seward, Rowell Gibson, James K. Pearson, E. Mussey, Rufus Richardson, Samuel Caldwell, Jeremiah Green, Ira W. Seward, C. C. Burditt, Ira Felch, Coomer H. Boorn, James K. Farnam, Timothy Gibson, F. B. Temple, William Foster, David Rice, jr., Abraham M. Gibson, Blackmer Cook (by his mark), Supply Nims, all of whom but Samuel Caldwell, now living in California, and Abra- ham Gibson, still a resident of Mendon, have since died. The first officers were: Ira Seward, president ; Edward Mussey, clerk ; James K. Pearson, treas- urer ; Roswell Gibson, Timothy Gibson and Rufus Richardson, prudential com- mittee. The first clergyman whom they procured to preach here was Rev. Elbridge Wilmington, who quit-claimed to the society the lot above mentioned, thus estopping himself from claiming title to it under the charter. He re- mained here about two years and went to Maine. From this time until 1858 preaching was done here in a desultory way. In 1858, owing to a revival in Rutland, considerable interest in religious matters was awakened here. A Sab- bath-school was formed. In September of the same year a ladies' society was organized, and by the efforts of its members, a subscription was taken, Iand purchased, and the present church edifice was erected. It was finished in the summer of 1860 and dedicated on the first of August in that year. Ser- vices were afterwards held with considerable regularity in the church, and from 1863, when Rev. Mr. Barton came to Mendon, down to the present time, the church has not been without a pastor, though most of the pastors have been of the Methodist denomination. The list is as follows, each pastor having been here but two years excepting the Marshalls, who were each here three years : Revs. Mr. Barton, M. D. Herrick, F. S. Lovet, N. E. Jenkins, M. Stewart, H. Barnes, A. V. Marshall, Perry Marshall, J. S. Mott, N. C. Parker, R. Osborn, and J. C. Richmond, the present pastor, who came in 1885.

On the 26th of November, 1867, Rev. N. E. Jenkins organized a Wesleyan Methodist Church at the Union Chapel at Mendon. On the 28th of February, 1876, the Union Evangelical Society conveyed by deed the church property to the stewards of the Methodist church, viz., to Ira Ormsby, Ezra Edson, John C. Thomas and Robert G. Richardson. The present officers of the church are : Stewards, B. Dimick, A. G. Bissell; recording steward, Leland Williams; A. Ormsby, secretary and treasurer ; George Seward, Edward Eggleston, W. E. Wood, William Hagar and William Kennison. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Rich- mond, came in July, 1885. The present value of the church property is about $1, 100.
