WILLARD, CAPT. JONATHAN (by Henry Willard). Capt. Willard, the principal gran- tee and settler of this town, was born in Roxbury, Mass., about 1720. He m. Sarah Childs, who died, leaving 3 children : Sam uel, Mary and Joseph. Next, he married in succession - - Hough and a widow Stark, neither of whom had issue by him ; he died in Rutland 1804, aged 84. In early life, he was for many years an inhabitant of Col- chester, Ct. His principal business appears to have been that of a trader. He owned and commanded a vessel trading from ports in New England to New York. A short time subsequent to 1750, he removed to Al- bany, N. Y., where he kept a public house, the only English tavern then in the city. About this time, by contract with govern- ment, he furnished stores for the army then at lake George, in which business he em- | mon Willard, who came from the county of
ployed 40 yoke of oxen. Tradition tells us that he made a large amount of money, and it is related that at one time, when his fears were excited by an expected invasion, he filled a strong cask with silver, rolled it be- side the chimney and sealed it up, making it appear as though there was no space there. After residing in Albany 8 years, he removed to old Saratoga and engaged in the lumber business. In 1760, he paid a visit to the Hampshire Grants, in company with two others. They selected three townships of land, each of 6 miles square, and then drew lots for choice. Pawlet fell to our grantee, and at the same time he had large rights in the other two which were Danby and Mt. Tabor. He then entered the names of his old neighbors in Connecticut, and obtained a charter Aug., 1861. Immediately after the location of the township, he repaired to Col- chester and informed his friends of what he had done. For a mug of flip or a new hat he. purchased many of their rights until he be- came possessed of just two-thirds of the town. The other third, he was extremely anxious to have immediately settled. Accordingly this same year Simon Burton and Wm. Fair- field came into town. Mr. Burton settled and made the first clearing on the farm now owned by Daniel Cushman, and here the first 50 acres of land were given to the wife of Mr Burton for being the first woman set- tled in town. On this ground the first cele- bration of the fourth of July was held in 1761, when an ox was roasted whole. The next year, 1762, Capt. Willard came into town with 9 hired men and several horses. He pitched his tent near Henry Allen's and by Fall had cleared several acres and sowed it with wheat. He then returned to his home on the Hudson, where he remained two or three years. Meeting with heavy losses in the lumber business about this time, in 1764 or 1765, he returned with his family to his clearing in this town. At this time he had lost half his capital, which was the sole cause of his settling in the township which he bought for the purpose of speculation. As a man, Capt. Willard was strong, elastic, wiry and enduring ; ment J'y he was a quick discerner of the intentions of men, shrewd and sound in judgment. He sprung from a noble stock being descended in the fourth generation from the ninth son of Major Si-

Kent, England, to Boston, 1634. He was a thorough business man, and in testimony , - of his uprightness, it is said he was univer- sally respected by those with whom he did business. His name is held in great venera- tion by his numerous descendants. His last wife died in 1804, aged 74.
WILLARD, COL. SAMUEL (By Henry Wil- lard), m. Sarah Stark, da. of his father's third wife and raised 7 children ; Jonathan, Samuel, Benjamin, Archibald, Robert, Sarah and Maria. Jonathan m. Abigail, da. of Major Roger Rose; Samuel m. a da. of John Burnham, and Robert m. - Gardner, both of Middletown ; Sarah m. Reuben Smith and Maria, Ira Smith. This family of Willards [ on a scouting expedition. A man named all left town many years since, and settled mostly in northern New York, where in some places the name is quite common. From one of these sprung Daniel Willard Fisk, of the Astor Library, N. Y., who is a distinguished linguist. Col. Willard was a leading man during his short life. Our tra- dition is that he was a colonel of militia in the latter end of the French war. He was also at the battle of Saratoga. He built the old. red grist-mill; he died in 1788, aged 43. Mary, only da. of Capt. Jonathan Willard, m. Elkanah Cobb, and raised 7 children ; Elkanah, Willard, John, Joshua, James B., Mary and Sophia (see " Elkanah Cobb)," James B. was educated at Burlington, and afterwards a graduate of West Point. He recruited a company for the war of 1812, but not being allowed by government to com- mand it, he broke his sword and resigned his commission of lieutenant. He was a man WILLARD, ANDREW, owns and occupies land which has been in the family from the first settlement of the town. He has been confined mostly to his house and bed for the last 12 years with a spinal complaint, which he has borne with cheerful fortitude. His only son Henry lives with his father. of uncommonly prepossessing appearance and decided abilities; soon after this he went south, and settled in the State of Georgia. From him sprung the Hon. Howell Cobb. Sophia, youngest da. of Elkanah Cobb, m. Zadoc Remington, of Castleton.
refuge in Canada, and by a roundabout way to avoid our forces, journeyed through this town, and put up at Capt. Willard's tavern, expecting to proceed in the morning. Dur- ing the night a sudden thaw ensued and they were compelled to remain. Soon an attach- ment sprung up between Joseph and Sarah, and her parent was induced to stay to see how it would end: which was by marriage in her 17th year. It may be of interest to some to state that her father was a captain in Butler's Rangers under Col. Butler the noted tory. When Butler held Fort Stanwix (Rome N. Y.,) he sent Capt. Hare with his company, and three hundred Indians out up- Davis who had married Capt. Hare's sister, was a captain in the American service. Ac- cidentally they met upon this occasion. Each demanded of the other a surrender, which each denied. Each fired upon the other, when both fell at the same instant, mortally wounded at each other's feet. (Col. Hare's family history, Canada West). This was in - deed a melancholy fate for the two brothers- in-law, especially when it is remembered that they had always been warm friends aside from political animosities. She was left behind while the family proceeded on their way. She was a woman of great judg- ment, memory and physical endurance. To her the writer of this sketch is indebted for many facts in relation to the family. Joseph Willard passed his days at the present resi- dence of Daniel Mc Grath, and died in 1829, aged 80. His widow in 1846, aged 80.
WILLARD, JOSEPH (by Henry Willard), WILLARD, SILAS, m. a da. of Ebenezer Baker, and settled at the village. He strug- gled through life against the adverse inilu- ences of poor health and slender means, and maintained a highly respectable character. He died in Granville, N. Y., in 1859, agel 66, leaving 4 children ; Cyrenius M., is au attorney, and judge of probate, and was cash- ier of the Castleton Bank, from 1853 to 1>05. youngest son of Capt. Jonathan Willard, was born in Colchester, Ct., 1750. He in. Sarah Hare, and raised five children ; Margaret, Betsey, John, Andrew and George. The singularity of the marriage of Joseph may be considered worthy of record. Her father was an English officer in command at Fort Stanwix, and fell in a hand to hand con- flict with the American officer, in which both WILLARD, DR. JAMES HI., a brother of Silas Willard, m. Naney, a da. of Ephraim Fitch, were killed. Capt. Hare's widow with three or four children and a black servant, sought | and practiced his profession here a few years.
