But, notwithstanding their condition, the settlers were called upon to furnish men and means of subsistence for the military organizations of the State, and a number left home and entered the service. Besides this, the authorities of the town had a company of militia, which was commanded by Captain John Throop and Lieutenants Bartholomew Durkee and Thomas Vail. Upon the occasion of the burning of Royalton by the English and Indians this company was called upon to join in the pursuit of the invaders, the whole pursuing force being in command of Captain House. The burning of Royalton occurred October 16, 1780. Con- cerning the events of that attack and burning a published account says ;

" The Pomfret company contained several graduates of the Canadian war, and certainly showed soldier-like qualities by its action. Marching to Royalton on that 16th day of October, through the lonely forest with the apprehension of being ambushed at every step by an enemy of un- known force, and having their families exposed to they knew not what peril behind, could not appear exactly in the light of child's play ; but they nevertheless proceeded straight to the place where the attack was made, and similar bands coming in from other towns, there were assem- bled at nightfall, as we read, 'several hundred resolute men.' The captain of the Pomfret company was John Throop, but he was a mem- ber of the State council which was then in session at Bennington, and the command devolved upon Lieutenant Bartholomew Durkee, the first Pomfret settler. Upon arriving at Royalton three of the company, who were footsore or otherwise unfitted for a long march, were dismissed, and at Randolph six others dropped out, the nine returning the next day to Pomfret. The remaining twenty seven went on under command of Colonel House to Brookfield, at which place they were

joined by Resolved Sessions with a horseback load of provisions from home. Returning, the company reached Pomfret on the 18th."

The members of the Pomfret company were : Lieutenant Bartholomew Durkee, Lieutenant Thomas Vail, Sergeant B. Green, Sergeant E. Peake, Daniel Ainsworth, Samuel Allen, Sylvester Bugbee, John Bacon, Benajah Child, William Child, Nathan Chaffee, William S. Hutchinson, Seth Hodges, Edmond Hodges, John Jefferson, Israel Keith, Daniel Leonard, Asa Morris, Elijah Mason, Abial Morse, John Morehouse, Thomas Noonan, John Perrin, Daniel Packard, William Perry, Benjamin Sessions, Israel Sessions, Amos Throop, Ebenezer Winslow, Asa Child, Ezra Drew, Jeremy Dwyer, Robert Perry, Jedediah Perry, John Wat- kins, Nathaniel Washburn. The entire expense of the expedition of this company, which was paid by the State to the men, was twenty-one pounds, fourteen shillings and five pence.

As has already been stated, the town of Pomfret furnished some men, a few, who were with the army during the Revolution ; and there subse- quently came to live in the town other men who also had seen service during that struggle. Among the papers of the late Hosea Doton there has been found a list of names of persons, " soldiers in the War of the Revolution, who were at some (time) residents of the town of Pomfret, Vermont," as follows :

Aaron Blanchard, Jesse Bruce, Abial Bugbee, Nathaniel Carpenter, Jeremiah Conant, Isaac Dana, John Darling, John Dexter, John Doton, Bartholomew Durkee, Daniel Fraser, Increase Hewitt, Jonathan Hoit, Adam Howard, Joshua Lazell, Enoch Leonard, John Miller, Abial Morse, Joel Perkins, Robert Perry, Jeremiah Pratt, Phineas Raymond, Nathaniel Ruggles, Christopher Smith, Samuel Snow, Benjamin Thomp- son, Isaiah Tinkham, Charles Wolcott, Frederick Ware, William Waters, William Whitman.

Also among the collections of historical data in the possession of Mr. Doton there has been found a list of the persons who lived in Pomfret, and who were engaged in the service during the second war with Great Britain, known as the War of 1812-15. The record then made is headed thus: " The following are the names of those who were soldiers in the War of 1812, who at some time have been residents of the town of Pomfret." The names there referred to are: Moses Abbott, Levi Allen, Warren Blanchard, Daniel Boynton, John M. Boynton, Luther

In the late war, that of 1861-65, and known as the war of the Rebe !- lion, the town of Pomfret furnished the aggregate number of one hundred and thirty-two men, of whom sixty-five were enlisted in the three years. service, twenty-two for one year, twenty-eight for nine months, while eight others were in the naval service. In addition to these seven more were in the service credited to the town, but not named. Nine men were drafted and paid commutation, and one procured a substitute. A com- plete roll of all the volunteers enlisted in Pomfret during the war will be found in Chapter X. of this work.

Prominent among the volunteers from Pomfret is found the name of Colonel Thomas A. Seaver, the present probate judge of the county, in the Hartford district. Colonel Seaver entered the service during the early days of the war, and was commissioned captain of Company F, Third Regiment, May 24, 1861. From this he was promoted majo. August 13, 1861; lieutenant-colonel, September 27, 1862; and colonel January 15, 1863. He was mustered out of service July 27, 1864.

In the First Cavalry were First Lieutenant Alexander B. Chandler and Second Lieutenant Richard A. Seaver, both from Pomfret.

Church Societies .- It is an undoubted fact that the people comprising the last two or three generations of mankind have not given the same devoted care to matters pertaining to their spiritual welfare as did their ancestors of the preceding century; for while the early settlers were en- gaged in daily and constant struggle for the necessaries of life, they nev- ertheless exercised the same watchful care over their own and their chil- dren's spiritual and religious education as was bestowed upon secular pursuits. One of the earliest public improvements in Pomfret was the construction of a log meeting- house on the Chandler farm in 1774, and possibly before that year. This was a rude, primitive edifice, yet suffi- cient for the needs of the people of that period. In 1778 the question of building a new meeting-house by the town was presented to the freemen, but the proposition was defeated. In 1880 a meeting was called " to see what the town will give Reverent Aaron Hutchinson per Sab- bath to preach with them the ensuing season, and also to what method the town will come into in order to pay the sum they may be willing to give him." Subsequently Rev. Hutchinson was engaged as preacher, as will be noticed from an extract from the records, by which it was voted "to give him fifteen shillings per Sabbath that he preaches, in wheat, at six shillings per bushel."

In 1783 the society of the Congregational church was organized in the town, and during the next year the Legislature authorized the town to lay a tax upon the improved lands, also upon the "polls," as a means of providing a fund for a church edifice. But some trouble followed and it was not until several years had elapsed that another and more substantial church edifice was erected. Other societies were afterwards organized in Pomfret, known as Christians, Baptists and Methodists. The Chris- tian church building was erected at Pomfret Center about the year 1832 or 1833, but was burned some ten years later. In its place a union church was erected, but a lack of interest by the societies suffered the building to get out of repair, services were only held occasionally, and the property was eventually sold or transferred to the town, but is still at the

service of any denomination which desires its use. The early pastors of the Congregational Society, after the primitive services of Rev. Aaron Hutchinson, were Elisha Hutchinson, Ignatius Thompson, and John Dutton.

Schools .- The first efforts in the direction of establishing a school in Pomfret were made during the year 1786, when the following petition was circulated and signed : "We, whose names are hereunto subscribed being Sensible of the Necessity of a School for the Education of our chil- dren Do hereby engage unto Each other, and unto Mrs. Betty Sessions, if she will Engage to keep a School for us at the house or shop belonging to Esq'r Dana for the Space of three Months or more to pay for her Service one Bushel of good wheat or four shillings per Week to be paid by the first Day of November next. Each Signer to pay in proportion to the Number of Schollars he Signs for and Engages to Send to Said School, Sickness Excepted.

" Pomfret, June ye 14th, 1786. And further we engage to pay Esqr Dana the Sum of three Shillings per week for the Board of a School ma'm, to be paid in Wheat at five Shillings per Bushel or other Grain Equivalent to be paid by the first Day of December next to be paid in Proportion to Each Schollar he Shall Send. Elijah Mason, three (schol- ars) ; John W. Dana, three; Samuel Snow, two; Henry Ainsworth, two; Israel Keith, three; Elnathan Allen, two; Jeremy Dwyer, one ; James Rouse, two; Abraham Vail, 2; Lieut. Vail, 2; Lt. Smith, 2; Sim- eon Sessions, 1 ; Jesse Smith, [." Total, twenty-six.

The first school-house was built of logs, in the north part of the town ; and as the population increased other schools were established, some- times in dwellings until a suitable place was provided. But the town was soon divided into districts, and schools maintained in them, each district paying the expense of its school. This is the present system supporting the town's schools. In March, 1805, reports from the super - visors of six districts gave a total of 339 " polls " (meaning children) be- tween the ages of four and eighteen years. In 1814 the reports showed a total of 598 such "polls," and 1816, 426. At present the town has eight full and four or five fractional districts.

The Pomfret Centennial .- In 1870 the people of Pomfret, and many from other towns, assembled at the Center, on the 15th of June, for tlie

738

celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the town. About nine o'clock on that day the assembled multitude formed in pro- cession at the church, and, under command of Major Ora Paul, Captain Harvey N. Bruce and Norman Paul, marched to a beautiful hillside grove, which had been prepared for the occasion. Hon. Crosby Miller was president of the day. After prayer by Rev. Hamilton, and singing by the choir, the president introduced Seth Conant, esq., who delivered an address of welcome. Following this, and interspersed with music, the following services were had : Original poem, written and read by Mrs. James K. Chamberlain ; centennial address, by Rev. Elmer Hewitt, of Weymouth, Mass., but a native of Pomfret; original hymn, written by Mrs. Chamberlain, sung by the choir.

The ladies of Pomfret had prepared a bounteous collation for the guests and towns-people, to which the general attention was next di- rected. Four thousand people sat at the feasting tables, and still an abundance of food was left, so generous had been the contributions. After every inner want had been supplied the people returned to the grove, and the exercises resumed. Captain Bruce and Counselor Paul officiated as masters of ceremonies, and proposed toasts, which were given and responded to as follows : " The Town of Pomfret," response by Hon. Crosby Miller; "The President of the United States," response by Hon. Julius Converse ; "Our Country," by W. C. Whipple ; " The Judiciary of Vermont," by Hon Jas. Barrett ; " Our Former Citizens," by E. S. Jackman ; "The Clergy," by Rev. Moses Kidder ; " The First Settlers of Pomfret," by James K. P. Chamberlain ; "The Press," by Lu- ther O. Greene; " The Ladies," by Norman Paul, esq. Adjourned to 1970.

It would be impossible within the compass of this work to give a genealogical sketch of each family that has been connected with the town. The remainder of this chapter is devoted to those who feel and have manifested an interest in preserving the records of their ancestors. For sketches received too late for insertion in this chapter please refer to a later chapter in this work.

above named, married for his second wife Polycenia Arnold, of whom her descendants have the following interesting tradition. It is said that she was connected with the nobility of England, and that going aboard of a vessel about to sail for New England to bid farewell to certain of her friends, the captain suddenly and unbeknown to her weighed anchor and sailed away, refusing her appeals to be set on shore. The vessel had a long, rough voyage, was chased by pirates, came near being captured, was short of provisions, and she was made so timid by her rough experience of the seas that she never dared to return. After awhile her wardrobe was sent to her, which because of its elaborateness and richness astonished and delighted the good dames of Ashford, be- ing so different from their home-made apparel. Samuel Bugbee, fourth child above, married Dorothy Carpenter, January 26, 1701. They had nine children, Rebecca, Sam- uel, Dorothy, Anne, Jesse, Joseph, James, Dorothy, second, and Experience.

He was an eccentric character, was often em - ployed in suits in law as a pettifogger, and often proved himself more than a match for the best legal talent in the county. The noted "Kettle " case may be cited as a speci- men. David Bugbee, third above, married January 7, 1808, Rebecca Swift ; studied medicine with Dr. Parkhurst of Lebanon, N. H., located and practiced his profession in Pomfret and neighboring towns up to the time of his death, January 3, 1821. His wife, born February 9, 1780, died December 6, 1858.
