GROUT, Deacon John, of Marlborough or rather of Newfane was s. of John of Westminster, who was the s. of Thomas of Spencer, Mass., who was the s. of John of Sudbury, Mass., who was the s. of John of the same town, who was the s. of Capt. John of Watertown and Sudbury, who came over from England to America probably about 1634, at about the age of 18 years, who is supposed to be the s. of Sir Richard Grout or Groutte of Walton in the County of Derby, England, whose family is supposed to have settled in Cornwall in the west part of England during the reign of Henry II, 1154-89; and to have originated in Germany where they bore the name of Grotius or Groot alias Grote, Gross, Gros or Graus, who are believed to be the descendants of the Grudii or the Grat of whom Caesar speaks as among the daring tribes of Belgic Gaul, upwards of fifty years previous to the Christian Era. Deacon John Grout was b. in Westminster, Aug. 17, 1788, was admitted a member of the Congregational Church in Westminster, by profession, June 12, 1808, went to reside in the southwest part of New-
[ 175 ]
fane near the north line of Marlborough about the year 1810, and m. Azubah, dau. of Jonathan Dunklee of Brattleboro, May 23, 1811. He connected himself with the Congrega- tional Church and society in Marlborough, and for more than a quarter of a century was a constant attendant upon public worship in that place. He was chosen Deacon and continued an active useful officer in the church until 1837, when he re- moved with his family to West Brattleboro and there re- sided, a farmer until his decease, Oct. 16, 1851.
His eldest son, Lewis, b. Jan. 28, 1815, remembers attending public worship in Marlborough riding behind his father on the same horse some six miles, almost every Sabbath, in early life, when the country was new and the roads rough, crooked and hilly. He was fond of the Sabbath School where he was for many years a scholar and afterwards a teacher. On Sept. 15, 1835, being at school in Brattleboro Academy, where there was a revival of religion at the time, he made his pur- pose to devote his life both to the service and glory of God; and being advised to study for the ministry, he commenced the following autumn to prepare for college, teaching school winters, first in Marlborough, then in Putney, and after- wards in Guilford, to obtain money for defraying the ex- pense of attending the Academy the rest of the year. The last term of his preparatory course was spent in the Burr Seminary in Manchester. He entered college at Yale in 1838 and was graduated in 1842, being absent a part of the last year for the purpose of teaching in a classical and math- ematical school near West Point, N. Y., where he also taught a year after graduating. After this he studied Theology two years at Divinity College, New Haven, and one year in the Theological Seminary in Andover, Mass., where he was graduated in 1846. On the 8th of October, 1846, he was married to Lydia, dau. of Deacon Bates of Spring- field, Vt., where he was also ordained the same day as a missionary to the Zulus in the District of Natal, South Africa. For this field he set sail from Boston, under the patronage of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Oct. 10th., and reached Natal on Feb. 15, 1847. Here he was appointed to form and occupy a station at Umsunduzi, about 30 miles north of Denban, a seaport town,
[ 176 ]
and about fifteen miles from the sea coast. At this place he continued to reside and labor to the 12th of March, 1862, when, with impaired health, he left Natal for America and stopped for a short time with his brother Sylvester, at the homestead in Brattleboro. During his residence in Natal he prepared a grammar of the Zulu language, an octavo vol- umn of nearly five hundred pages, which was printed in part at the expense of the British government and in part by subscription. He designs to remain in America, and hopes to devote the rest of his days if his health allows, in the work of the ministry in this country. He has one child, Lydia- Annie, b. in Africa, July 28, 1847.
Admatha, the second son of Deacon John, b. Newfane Feb. 19, 1817, joined the Congregational Church in West Brattleboro, in January, 1838; studied for college in the Academy of that place; pursued a collegiate course at Dartmouth; studied Theology at Union Theological Sem- inary, N. Y., where he was graduated in 1851. His health how- ever, did not admit of his engaging in the active services of the ministry. After several years of weakness and suffering he d. in Kansas, Sept. 6, 1855.
Hannah, the third child of Deacon John, b. Newfane, May 9, 1819, continued with her parents on their removal to Brattleboro, and was admitted to the Congregational Church in West Brattleboro, May 3, 1840. She taught school in Brattleboro, Guilford, Hanover, N. H., and in Dummerston. Later her time and strength were devoted for some years to the care of her mother, whose health of body and mind was greatly impaired. On Aug. 18, 1859, she was married to Mr. Lyman-C. Raney, of Westminster, and there resides.
Sylvester, the third son of Deacon John, b. Newfane, Feb. 7, 1822, m. Nancy-R. Montague, of Guilford, June 8, 1852, and settled on the homestead with his parents in West Brattleboro.
Paulinus-Scott, fourth son of Deacon John, b. Newfane, Nov. 18, 1823. In 1840, he went to live with his uncle, Sylvester, in Westminster, where he united with the Con- gregational Church. His health failed him, and he returned to his father's in Brattleboro where he died in the triumph of faith, March 14, 1847.

Isaac, the fifth son of Deacon John, b. Newfane, March 2, 1826, went in early life to reside with his uncle, Isaac, in Putney. Being of age, he went to California where he still resides.
Chester-Gilbert, the sixth son of Deacon John, b. Newfane, April 3, 1828, m. Emeline Washburn, of Springfield, Vt. He went west, stopped in Kansas for a time, and then took up his residence in Berlin, Ill. He volunteered his services in the support of the Union, belongs to the 7th Iowa Regt. of the Federal Army, and has been in several severe engagements, at Belmont, Fort Donelson, and Fort Henry.
