THE FISH FAMILY.
By Wallace B. Fish and Fanny Bullock.
David Fish, Sr., was a son of John Fish of England, who came to this country about 1730, and located in Connecticut. David had one brother, Nicholas, who was in the Mohawk wars for several years. He also had a brother, John, who located in Connecticut and had a family. He came to Jericho about 1786 and m. Elizabeth Brown, a dau. of Joseph, who was captured by the Indians in Jericho in 1780. On going to Jericho, Mr. Brown left two daughters in Connecticut until he had located, after which they started with others for Vermont, and arrived at Waterbury. They learned there that their family had been cap- tured, and did not proceed further, until they learned of their return from captivity in 1786. One daughter d. before reaching Jericho and was buried in what is now Richmond. Elizabeth m. David Fish, Sr., about 1790. They had three daughters and one son, David, Jr., b. in 1807.
David, Sr., was called Master Fish, as he taught school 41 terms and was at all times "master."
JUDGE DAVID FISH.
463
HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
He was a very strong man, standing six feet one inch, and was the most scientific boxer in the country, and many times prac- ticed his skill in school. At one time there was a family of giants who moved into town, two strapping big boys and three girls. At the commencement of the winter term they made threats of cleaning out the teacher the first day, if necessary they were all to take a hand in the mix-up. In the afternoon the largest girl got up and said, "Mr. Trout, may I go out?" She was told to "sit down," and she did, but soon was up again and repeated the request ; she was called out on the floor, and told that she was to be punished ; she laughed at the Master, and he went to his desk and got his "blue beech"; on starting towards the girl he met the two brothers, one remarked that they were to put him out; as soon as he had made the threat he was knocked down. The other got the same treatment. The old settlers said "the girl got all that was coming to her." There was no more trouble in the school. He read the first Episcopal Service in Jericho. The father of Clark and Hoyt Bostwick was clerk of the organiza- tion. He spent his last days with his son, David, Jr., and d. in 1884 ; his wife d. in 1810.
David Fish, Jr., was b. in 1807, and had a very strenu- ous life until he was of age. His mother d. when he was quite small and his father never m. again, and he was boarded at different places without affection or care. In his early days mothers had about all they could attend to, to do their work and see to their large families, and one can see what show another child would get. He had several places to live in the first ten years of his life. His father was not a very domestic man, consequently the child was never properly seen to or clothed. This was left to others and was never done.
He never went to school until after he was ten years old. From 8 to 10 years he earned his own living with two different farmers, the last one made him milk from one to three cows the winter before he was ten years old, and go about one-half mile to a back barn and care for thirty sheep. When he was ten years of age, he found a home with Peter Shaw, who lived on the farm later owned by both Julius and Henry Hapgood, near Church Street. Mr. Shaw was one of the kindest men and made a home for several unfortunate children, as he had but
464
HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
one child, a son, who was as kind as his father and mother. This son had a great liking for military affairs, and received the title of General Orvil Shaw before he was 40 years of age.
David, Jr. expected to grow up with Uncle Peter as he was called by all of his neighbors, and Mr. Shaw also expected the same, but when he had lived there four years his father took him away and bound him out to an uncle until he was 21 years of age to learn the shoemaker's trade, for a term of seven years at twenty dollars a year and clothe himself, or about one dollar and sixty-seven cents per month. After he began his time, he soon realized that uncles were not the most considerate people in the world. His hours for work were from five a. m. until seven p. m. For the first year of his time he never did any work in the shoe shop only to sweep it and build fires mornings, unless it was a stormy day, as his uncle had a farm that occupied his time, situated about one-fourth of a mile from the shop, where he slept in the attic of a one-story building with only one small window. He never had a sheet on his bed in the seven years that he slept there. The shop was located on Church Street.
He had only three months regular schooling in his life (and this before he was ten years of age). The rest of his education he picked up as best he could, the most of it by lying on his stomach before a fireplace studying books loaned him by neigh- bors.
At the expiration of his time, this generous uncle made him a present of seven dollars, one dollar for each year of faithful service. The uncle also offered to give him a recommendation to show which he declined with thanks. He started out for himself with seven dollars and one suit of poor clothes and took a job as foreman at his trade with Tillotson Hapgood, father of the late Julius and Henry Hapgood of Jericho. Two years later, he, with the late Hiram Booth, bought Mr. Hapgood's tanning and shoe business, and about two years later he bought Mr. Booth's interest and conducted the business alone until his death in 1876. He was twice m., first to Fannie I. Hutchins, a daughter of Dr. Eleazer and Betsey Hollenbeck Hutchins of Jericho. By this union there were two sons b., Hiram Booth Fish and Wallace Brown Fish; both were b. in Jericho and spent their early days there. Hiram m. Miss Ella Dow of

Bullock of Springfield, Mass., who d. in 1905; she resides in Springfield, Mass., and conducts his extensive business with her brother, Wallace B.
David Fish, Jr., was a self-made man and had at all times great sympathy for young people who tried to get along in the world. He was the adviser of many people. He had a per- sonality that made friends and kept them.
He held many elective offices both in his native town and county. He was associate judge, represented his town as legis- lator in 1845 and 1846, was selectman, and several times town grand juror. He was justice of the peace twenty-four years, and delegate to both state and county conventions many times, and was often chosen to preside over different conventions and gatherings in politics. He was a Henry Clay Whig, and a re- publican all of his life. He was almost a worshipper of Abra- ham Lincoln.
He never was a member of any church, but donated to, and affiliated with all, yet attended the M. E. Church most.
He was a great lover of out-door-life, and of nature. His charity and benevolence were abundant. Oftentimes families were fitted out with boots and shoes in the fall of the year when he knew the chances were small for getting anything for them. He would often remark that he remembered his first pair of new boots ; it was when he was fifteen years old. He had a tender
466

feeling for poor children, and believed that it was the duty of people to do more for them, as a small amount of charity properly bestowed perhaps would tide them over the point that decided their future for the better. He was one of the least selfish men of his age.
Mrs. Fannie Fish Bullock adds that :
' He was favorably mentioned for the office of Lieut. Gover- nor to run with Hiland Hall of Bennington in 1858. Being en- tirely self-educated, he feared he might not be able to fill all the requirements of the office satisfactorily to his constituents, and so he refused to accept the nomination. While serving as county judge his good offices were always at the disposal of anyone. in trouble. It used to be said that "Judge Fish broke up more good law-suits than any one living," as he usually managed to make the contestants settle their trouble out of court. As I re- member my father no words could better describe him than the following definition of a gentleman: "A man who is clean, in- side and out, who looks neither up to the rich nor down on the poor; who could lose without whining, and win without boast- ing; who was considerate of women, old people, and children ; too brave to lie, and too generous to cheat; who took his share of the world and let others take theirs."-Such was David Fish. R. B. Fish says of him: "There was nothing artificial about him, his dignity and grace were as natural as his breath. Before the days of the professional undertaker it was expected that he would 'take charge' of all funerals, and how smoothly it was done until the casket rested 'low in the ground' and he raised his gloved hand to the writer in the old belfry to let the bell cease tolling."
THE FITZGERALD FAMILY. By C. H. Hayden.

THE FORD FAMILY. By Evaline Ford Nealy.
With the removal of the forests and the coming of the plow, the hoe, the scythe and the rake, the sowing and reaping, and the building of better houses, combined with a lack of markets and the long distance to travel to obtain the required tools, and with every stream a small waterpower waiting to help in the building up of the little commonwealth, there came another class

of settlers, the carpenters and mechanics, blacksmiths, wheel- wrights, etc.
Among these new settlers was Abram Ford who, with his brother, Elisha, came from Pomfret, Connecticut, in about 1803. Elisha settled in Braintree, Vt., and afterwards came to Mont- pelier to live with Washington Ford and d. there.
Abram Ford settled in Jericho. He was the father of eleven children. His son, Milton Ford, was b. in Pomfret Connecticut, April 10, 1794. He was a carpenter and builder by trade, and many of the old houses in this and adjoining towns were erected by him. Among them is the Warren Ford house in Essex, now owned by H. H. Day, the Governor Chittenden house in Jericho, and the John Schillhammer and Albert By- ington houses near his own home. He could stand in his front door and count thirty buildings he had erected. Perhaps here, it would not be amiss to mention his work in 1816, now known as the "starving year." At that time wheat was fifty cents a bushel, and while building a house in Essex, he agreed to pay for each week's board the value of a bushel of wheat. In March he worked in his shirtsleeves, in June corn was eight or ten inches high when a foot of snow came. So cold was it, that he had to work with overcoat and mittens on. The wheat crop was a failure that year as well as other farm products, and he paid four dollars a week for his board. Needless to say, he did not make his fortune that summer.
In 1838 he built a machine shop on the Ford farm and a foundry in 1841. Work came to these shops from towns as far north as Hyde Park and Morrisville. The biggest cast was a potash kettle weighing 728 pounds. These shops were run by him until his son, Addison M., was m.
In the foundry was cast the historic cannon of Jericho in 1844. This cannon was a source of great dispute and strife between the "Corner and Center" boys, and to stop the endless warfare between the two factions, it was buried for many years on the Bartlett-Stone farm, but was accidentally found and used for a number of years on the 4th of July. It has since been consigned to an humble resting place in the ground.
In 1845 Milton Ford, with three others, built a starch factory on Mill Brook, but he and his brother-in-law, John T. Clapp, 31
470
HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
bought and ran the factory, and afterwards he owned it all; some years using as many as four thousand bushels of potatoes. The starch was drawn to Burlington and from there sent to New York.
Milton Ford made many threshing machines, fanning mills, iron work for starch factories and saw mills, and some years as many as a hundred plows.
Addison M. Ford ran the shops until December, 1872. He has invented a number of machines, a waterwheel which was used for many years, a planer for Venetian lath, a machine for making snuff dips, one for boring pipe stems, and a boring machine for shade rollers and for making nearly every part of shade rolls. These machines are now in use in all the Harts- horn shade roller shops. With the coming of railroads and the growth of cities, the call for more agricultural products, and the cheapening of manufactures by producing in large quantities by use of steam and electricity, the small waterpowers of our beautiful town are lying idle until the time, which we hope is not far distant, they will again be harnessed up and the "white coal" will furnish light and power to each and every farm and village home, that the ever increasing labors of the farm may be dimin- ished and make more comfortable and happy the beautiful life in the country of which we are all so fond.
Abram Ford was b. in Connecticut in 1764. He m. Sarah Ingalls in 1788. He d. in 1813 and his wife in 1833. The eleven children were Sophia, Alvin, Warren, Milton, Sally who m. 1 a Church and 2 a Seabury, Allethea, Harvey, Chloe, who m. John Clapp, Sophia, Lovina, who m. Ezra Chamberlin, and Amanda, who m.
