Soon after this town was incorporated by the\\nGeneral Court of Massachusetts, the planters became apprehen-\\nsive of trouble with the Narragansett and Wampannoag Indians,\\nwhose western limits bordered along on the eastern boundary of\\nSouthertown. The danger of the planters here had been in-\\ncreased by a union with the Massachusetts Colony, for the\\nreasons that it was with that and the Plymouth Colony that the\\ntrouble originated that finally culminated in King Philip s war.\\nBecoming a part of the Massachusetts Colony, they were re-\\ngarded by the Indians as their enemies. Their isolated condition\\nand the neutra.1 position of Rhode Island marked them as an\\neasy prey for savage vengeance. Nor did the new charter in\\n1662 and their annexation to the colony of Connecticut better\\ntheir condition, for as the difificulties with the Indians increased\\nthe whole of New England became involved in the conflict.\\nKing Philip s emissaries visited the remnant of the Pequot\\nIndians, and besought them to join in the grand plan of exter-\\nminating the English.\\nThey were partially successful at first in their endeavors, but\\nthe influence of Chesebrough, Stanton, Denison, Gallup and\\nothers prevailed with the Pequots and they remained friendly\\nwith the English and rendered them most important services\\nwhen the war actually commenced.

Capt. John Gallup was among the\\nslain, but how many of lesser grade, and of the rank and file of our\\ntown, were killed and wounded cannot now be ascertained.\\nAlmost all of the able-bodied men of Stonington were engaged\\nin the Indian wars of their time. Capt. George Denison\\nraised and mustered into service from the colony a large force of\\nEnglish and Indians. He was provost-marshal for New London\\nCounty and Rhode Island. He had a stockade fort just west of\\nhis dwelling-house in Stonington, where his soldiers encamped\\nprevious to their forays into the Indian territory. During the\\nyear 1676, Capt. Denison organized three expeditions, which\\npursued with unrelenting vengeance the shattered remnants of\\nKing Philip s forces. It was during the third of these expedi-\\ntions, which began March 28, 1676, and ended April 10, 1676,\\nthat the brave Narragansett chieftain, Canonchet, was taken\\nprisoner. He was brought to Stonington, where a council of\\nwar was held at Anguilla, near the present residence of Gideon\\nP. Chesebrough. He refused to negotiate for peace, or for the\\ncessation of hostilities on any terms, so the council decided that\\nhe must die, and when told of his fate, replied That he liked it\\nwell, and should die before his heart had grown soft, or he had\\nsaid anything unworthy of himself. He was executed after the\\nIndian mode, being shot by Oneko and two Pequot sachems,\\nthe nearest to his own rank among his conquerors. This was\\ndone by his captors without consulting, or advice from any one\\nsuperior to them in authority.

Some matters, however,\\nconnected with the contests between the colonies of Connecticut\\nand Rhode Island, relative to the boundary line between them,\\nlingered, to make trouble for the adjoining towns of Stonington\\nand Westerly. The boundaries between Connecticut and Rhode\\nIsland as fixed by the new charter were not satisfactory to the\\nConnecticut people, nor entirely so to the Rhode Island people,\\nbut after years of contention and litigation measures in the\\ninterest of peace prevailed, and the present boundary line was\\nestablished. The attempted overthrow of the charter of the\\ncolony by Sir Edmund Andros, acting in pursuance of the policy\\nof King James II., did not particularly affect the interest of the\\nplanters here, though they were bitterly opposed to the measures\\nadopted by the king for the purpose of consolidating all of the\\nNew England colonies into one, shorn of the liberties granted\\nthem by the charter of 1662. The sudden collapse of King James,\\nhis abdication of the government of England in 1688, the arrest\\nof Andros in Massachusetts, and his forced return tO England\\ngave great satisfaction to the inhabitants of this town, as well\\nas to all of New England; and when William and Mary\\nascended the throne in 1689 they were hailed with universal\\nrespect and esteem. Their beneficent policy was felt on this\\nside of the Atlantic, and with the restoration of the charter and\\nthe assurance of the protection of the mother-country, the\\nplanters here went on from year to year electing their town\\nand colonial officers, levying and collecting taxes for church,\\ntown and state and furnishing without dissent their quota of\\nmen to resist the invasion of the French and Indians from the\\nnorth. During the latter part of the Rev. Mr. James Noyes\\npastorate his health began to fail him, and the people of his\\ncharge were anxious to afford him all the assistance in their\\npower. By this time the northern part of Stonington, now\\nNorth Stonington, had become settled, and the old place of\\nworship at Agreement Hill was felt to be too remote for them\\nto attend.

This detachment\\nwas under the command of Lieut. Samuel Hough.\\nThe war thus far had progressed with varying success. The\\nnavy of the United States had immortalized itself upon the ocean,\\nwhile on the land our armies, though small in numbers, had\\nperformed prodigies of valor.

He and several\\nother historians claim that the houses in the fort were the\\nhomes for all the women and children of the Indians who gar-\\nrisoned it, all of whom perished in the conflagration that\\ndestroyed the fort. Mason does not say anything about women\\nor children in the fort, nor is it probable, when we consider the\\nsize of the fort and the number of Indians that it contained and\\nthe purpose for which it was built, that any of their women and\\nchildren made it their home, nor does Mason in his history\\nthereof say anything about the houses it contained. He speaks\\nof a wigwam which he entered at first and later to get a fire-\\nbrand to burn their wigwams, which as he says was covered\\nwith mats. His object in burning their wigwams doubtless was\\nto drive the Indians from their hiding places in and about their\\nwigwams, so as to bring them out into a fair open hand to hand\\nfight. Mr. Hollister in his history greatly overestimates the\\narea of the fort and the number of the Indians there.\\nThe Pequots had two wigwam villages, which were known\\nto the New England colonists before the Pequot war. Their\\nfort was not built for the purpose of enclosing and protecting\\nan Indian wigwam village, nor was the Pequot fort on Groton\\nhill, where Sassacus and some of his warriors bivouacked at the\\ntime when the fort on Mystic hill was destroyed, built for any\\nsuch purpose. They were evidently built by the Pequots to\\nenable them to resist and prevent the Narragansetts and Niantics\\nfrom invading their tribal lands, from which the Pequots had\\npreviously driven them for the purpose of regaining possession\\nthereof. The wigwams of which Mason speaks were mainly\\ndesigned for barracks for the Indians to occupy when they\\noccupied the fort for its defense. Mason also says in his history\\nof the Pequot war, that the Pequots knew of his contemplated\\ninvasion of their tribal lands and had seen his vessels when they\\nsailed by for Narragansett Bay, and felt assured that the English\\nwere afraid of them. Doubtless being apprehensive of an attack\\nfrom the east, they gathered all of their warriors into their forts\\nso as to resist and defeat the English if they attempted to attack", "height": "3463", "width": "1992", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofs01whee_0194.jp2"}, "195": {"fulltext": "PEQUOT INDIANS. 187\\nthem there, showing conclusively that these forts were built for\\nwar purposes and not for the protection of their wigwam vil-\\nlages.

We had no sooner dis-\\ncovered our vessels, but immediately came up the enemy from\\nthe other fort, three hundred or more as we conceived. The cap-\\ntain led a file or two of men to skirmish with them, chiefly to try\\nwhat temper they were of, who put them to a standstill, we being\\nmuch encouraged thereat, whereupon we presently prepared to\\nmarch towards our vessels. Four or five of our men were so\\nseverely wounded that they had to be carried by our men, we\\nbeing also faint, were constrained to put four of our men to\\neach one of the four or five men who were dangerously wounded,\\nso that we had not above forty men free. At length we hired\\nseveral of our friendly Indians to carry our disabled wounded\\nmen, which eased us of that burthen and after marching about\\none quarter of a mile, the enemy coming up to the place where\\nthe fort was and beholding what was done there stamped and\\ntore the hair from their heads and after a little space came\\n-mounting down the hill upon us in a full career as if they would\\nrun over us, but when they came within shot, the rear faced", "height": "3463", "width": "1992", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofs01whee_0195.jp2"}, "196": {"fulltext": "188 HISTORY OP STONINGTON.\\nabout, giving fire upon them, some of them being shot made\\nthe rest of them more wary, yet they kept on running to and\\nfro and shooting their arrows at random.

Some of them fell with our shot\\nand probably more might but for want of munitions.

At a court in Salem he took the freeman s oath, June 29,\\n1692, and was chosen clerk of the band, constable, and clerk\\nof the market. His wife did not come to this country. In 1658\\nhe sold lands at Gloucester and removed to Boston, where on\\nthe 1 6th of March, 1658-9 he purchased land, a small lot, about\\ntwenty-six by forty-six feet. It was located in what is now the\\ncentre of the post-office building, facing on Devonshire street.\\nThe famous old spring, which gave the name to Spring Lane\\nand which is now preserved under the post-office, was near.\\nThis Avery plot was a part of, or at least adjoined, the site of\\ntwo notable resorts of later days ^the well known restaurant\\nwhence first came the famous Julien soup, and the Stack-\\npole House, not much less famous. The Winthrop estate was\\nnot far away, and near by, in after years, Benjamin Franklin\\nwas born. Christopher Avery did not long retain this property,\\nfor March 22, 1663, he sold land to Ambrose Dew, for forty\\npounds. There had evidently been no increase of value in the\\nfive years that he had held possession. After being owned by\\ntwo or three different persons, it was bought by Mr. Stackpole\\nabout 1790. Christopher Avery now followed his son James to\\nConnecticut, and August 8, 1665, purchased a house, orchard\\nand lot of Robert Burrows in New London.

The Rev. Mr. Blinman, who had\\nbeen the minister of Gloucester for eight years, was engaged\\nto become the minister of the Pequot Plantation. A party of his\\nfriends proposed to move with him, and came on to make\\npreparatory arrangements, Oct. 19, 1650. It appears that\\nJames Avery went back to Gloucester, sold his possession there\\nto his father, and in 165 1 returned to New London. In March\\nof that year the principal body of these eastern families arrived.\\nCapt. James acquired large tracts of land at what is now\\nPoquonoc Bridge, Groton, east of New London. About 1636\\nhe built the hive of the Avery s at the head of Poquonoc Plain,\\na mile and a half from the river Thames. In 1684, the old\\nBlinman edifice, first church of New London, the unadorned\\nchurch and water-tower of the wilderness, which had stood for\\nthirty years, was sold to Capt. Avery for six pounds, with the\\ncondition that he should remove it in one month s time. Ac-\\ncording to tradition, the church was taken down, its materials\\ncarried across the river, and added to the house he had already\\nbuilt at Poquonoc. In spite of this analytic and synthetic\\nprocess, the ancient dwelling seemed to have retained some of\\nits sacred character, for a century later it was occupied until\\nJuly 21, 1894, when a spark from a passing locomotive ignited\\nits well-seasoned frame, and in a short time only the ancient\\nchimney remained to mark the spot of this historic house of\\nEastern Connecticut. A few years later the chimney was taken\\ndown, the grounds graded, and a tasteful monument was erected\\nby the descendants of James Avery. He was ensign, lieuten-\\nant and captain of the New London companies and served\\nthroughout King Philip s war in command of forty Indians .from\\nStonington, New London and Lyme. In 1676 he was captain\\nof one of the four companies which protected the frontier, and\\nior twenty-three years an officer of the town, and twelve times\\ndeputy to the General Court, 1656-80; also assisting judge in\\nthe Prerogative Court, and was most prominent in matters\\nrelating to the church, as references to him in such connections\\nare numerous.

He located himself\\nand family in Salem, Mass., where he did not long reside.\\nEntertaining religious and political sentiment in sympathy with\\nRoger Williams, he went to reside with him in Providence, R.\\nI. Mr. Brown soon rose to prominence in Providence Planta-\\ntion, where he merited and enjoyed the confidence of his fellow\\ntownsmen to an unlimited extent, receiving some of the highest\\npositions of honor and trust in their power to bestow upon him.\\nHaving previously studied for the ministry, he was called to the\\npastorate of the First Baptist Church of Providence, where he\\nwas ordained in 1642 as the first settled minister of that church,\\n(a disputed point by some, who claim that Roger Williams was\\nthe first minister of that church). Be that as it may, it is very\\nevident that their labors with and for the church were harmoni-\\nous and their ministry may have been an ideal, dual, coadjuting.\\npastorate.\\nCHILDREN OF ELDER CHAD BROWN AND WIPK ELIZABETH.\\n2 PHEBE, b. in England, m.

This led him\\nto look further for a permanent place of abode. About this time\\nMr. John Winthrop, Jr., acting under a commission from the\\nMassachusetts General Court, commenced a settlement at Name-\\naug, afterward called Pequot, and then New London.

He was kindly treated by Mr. Winthrop, and urged\\nto settle there but finding the place in several respects unsuitable\\nto his expectations, he concluded not to stay. Subsequently he\\nexamined the Pawcatuck region, and finally concluded to settle\\nat the head of Wequetequock Cove. He shared the friendship\\nof Roger Williams, and was encouraged and assisted by him in\\nremoving his habitation to Pawcatuck. He did not, however, im-\\nmediately remove his family there, and not until he had pro-\\nvided for them a comfortable place of abode.

Various\\nother acts were passed regulating and in some cases prohibiting\\ntrade with the Indians. Mr. Chesebrough while living at Reho-\\nboth, had incurred the displeasure of certain parties in the Plym-\\nouth Colony, and no sooner was he located here, than they in-\\nformed the General Court of Connecticut that he had removed\\nhere for the purpose of selling firearms to the Indians whereupon\\nthe Court, in November, 1649, issued a warrant to the constable\\nof Pequot to repair forthwith to Chesebrough of Long Island\\n(where he was trading at the time), and to let him understand that\\nthe government of Connecticut doth dislike and distaste the way\\nhe is in and trade he doth drive among the Indians, and that\\nthey do require him to desist therefrom immediately; and that\\nhe should repair to Capt.

Mr. Winthrop and the deputies from\\nPequot engaged that if he would put himself on the footing of\\nan inhabitant of Pequot he should have his lands confirmed to\\nhim by a grant of the town. To this he acceeded, but the bounds\\nof Pequot did not include his lands, whereupon on request the\\ncourt extended the bounds of the settlement to Pawcatuck River,\\nand the town in November following gave him a house lot at\\nPequot, which he never occupied. In January, 1652, a large\\ntract of land was given him by the town of Pequot, which was\\nafterwards liberally enlarged until it embraced between two and\\nthree thousand acres, and was included within the following\\nboundaries, namely, beginning at the harbor of Stonington, run-\\nning northerly up the same, and Lambert s Cove, and Stony\\nBrook to the old Post Road, thence following said road easterly\\nto Anguilla Brook; thence down said brook and Wequetequock\\nCove and the Sound, to the place of beginning.

It has not yet been ascertained when Mr. John Fish, whose\\nmature hfe and declining years were spent in Groton and Ston-\\nington, came to this country, or of what nationahty he was. Miss\\nCaulkins, in her History of New London, speaks of a John Fish\\nof Lynn, Mass., as early as 1637, but the history of Lynn does\\nnot mention his name. Miss Caulkins gives no further account\\nof him until 1655, when he appeared with his wife and children,\\nJohn, Jonathan and Samuel Fish. She gives no account of Mr.\\nFish between 1637 and 1655, when she locates him and his fam-\\nily in New London, prior to 1655. A Mr. John Fish was living\\nin the town of Stratford, Conn. How long he made that town\\nhis abiding place does not appear, nor when he was married to\\nMiss Eland, whose ancestral home was Yorkshire, Eng. He sold\\nout his home lot and about six acres of land in Stratford to John\\nWillcockson, Sept. 29, 1655, the same year that Miss Caulkins\\nlocates him and family in New London. She was doubtless mis-\\ntaken in saying that his son Samuel Fish was one of his family\\nwhen he came to New London to live, for the epitaph on his\\ngravestone shows that he was not born until 1656. How long\\nMr. Fish lived in New London is not certainly known, but his\\nresidence there was of short duration, for the Stonington records\\nshow that he had lived here long enough in 1668 to become an in-\\nhabitant of Stonington, which requires a two years residence\\nto obtain. The following biographical sketch of Mr. John Fish,\\nwritten by Mr. John D. Fish, one of his descendants, was care-\\nfully prepared by him, and is doubtless correct\\nIn 1654, and probably for several years previously, John Fish\\nlived in the town of Stratford, Conn. He was a young man and\\nimpulsive. The family name of his wife was probably Eland, as\\nSarah Eland, his sister-in-law, was a young woman and a mem-\\nber of his household. The Elands were an ancient and knightly\\nfamily of Yorkshire, Eng.

The location of his house lot is shown on a\\nmap drawn by Rev. Benjamin L. Swan, and printed in the Haw-\\nley Record at page 432, where it is marked as belonging to John\\nWillcockson, the person to whom it was sold by Mr. Fish, In\\nthe autumn of 1654, a controversy commenced between John\\nFish and some young men in the town, growing out of unwar-\\nwanted accusations which he made against them. This trouble\\nwas carried into the courts and very probably was the cause of\\nhis selling all his property in Stratford a year later, to John Will-\\ncockson, and leaving town. The town records contain four dif-\\nferent entries of separate parcels of land so sold. The date of the\\ndeeds of sale was Sept. 29, 1655, but the records were not made\\nuntil 1662-1671. Miss Caulkins in her History of New London\\nsays that John Fish appeared there early in 1655 with wife and\\nchildren, whose names she gives as John, Jonathan and Samuel.\\nThere are no records of the birth of these children in Stratford. I\\njudge that Samuel was the second of John Fish s children who\\nreached maturity, and as he d. Feb. 27, 1733, in the 77th year of\\nhis age, he appears to have been born soon after his father came\\nto New London. The records of the Congregational Church of\\nStonington, under date of March 13, 1680, show the baptisms\\nof Samuel, son of John Fish Mary, daughter of John Fish, and\\nJohn, son of John Fish. These were all adult persons at that\\ntime. Of John Fish s children, I have further records of only\\nSamuel and John, Junior. At what date John became a resident\\nof the town of Stonington, I cannot say, but in 1668, when a cen-\\nsus was ordered by the colonial authorities to be taken of the\\ninhabitants or heads of families in Stonington, John Fish was\\none of forty-three persons enumerated. A home lot was laid\\nout to each of these inhabitants, upon condition that it should\\nbe built upon within six months and inhabited. A twelve-acre\\nhome lot was granted to John Fish, being allotment No. 5, and\\nwas retained by him through life. His son, Samuel Fish, under\\ndate of Dec. 26, 1710, conveyed this lot to James Dean, who\\nafterwards, on Nov. 8, 171 1, conveyed it to Ebenezer Searles, as\\nis shown by the Stonington land records. The first wife of John\\nFish was doubtless the mother of all his children named above.\\nAug. 6, 1674, John Fish was acting town clerk at a town meet-\\ning held in Stonington.

The colony of Connecticut contribu-\\nted about three hundred volunteers to this expedition from her\\nwhite settlers, besides a large number of friendly Pequot Indians.\\nBoth John Fish and his son Samuel were among these volun-\\nteers, and about 1700, when the colony set apart the town of Vol-\\nuntown to be allotted to the Indian war volunteers, there were\\ngrants made for each of them. As John Fish had then been dead\\nseveral years his grant came into the possession of his son Sam-\\nuel, who in his will, dated Aug. 7, 1730, bequeathed his own\\ngrant to his son Samuel, and divided his father s grant between\\nhis sons Moses and Aaron.

In 1827 George and Silas Greenman 3d, having learned\\nshipbuilding from their father, went into partnership at Old Mystic (the head\\nof the river), and remained there till 1835, when Silas removed to Westerly, R.\\nI., and carried on the business there. His brother George carried on the ship-\\nbuilding alone for one year, when he took his two younger brothers, Clark\\nand Thomas S., into partnership with him. In 1838, being solicited to build\\nlarger vessels than their yards would accommodate, they bought and re-\\nmoved their plant to Adams Point, near Mystic, and established the first ship-\\nyard in that place, and the list of vessels which they built is found under\\nShipping in this book. In 1849 the Greenman brothers organized the Green-\\nmanville Manufacturing Co., which they established at Adams Point, giving the\\nname of Greenmanville to the village, which had grown up there by their\\nenterprising business capacity. They erected a large mill for the manufacture\\nof fine woolen gooods, which was successfully operated and subsequently en-\\nlarged to its present size, and in 1863 they established a store there to supply\\ntheir many employes and others. The Greenman brothers believed that in\\nunion there is strength, and the perfect confidence between them and their\\nstrong opinions of right and justice have made them worthy of notice among\\ntheir fellow men.\\nCHILDREN:\\n39 SARAH or SALLY, b.

WALTER PALMER, the progenitor of the family of his\\nname, who first settled in Stonington, Conn., came to New Eng-\\nland as early as 1628, with his brother, Abraham Palmer, a mer-\\nchant of London, England, and nine associates. They went from\\nSalem, Mass., through a pathless wilderness to a place called by\\nthe Indians Mishawam, where they found a man by the name of\\nThomas Walford, a smith. Here they remained until the next\\nyear, when they were joined by nearly one hundred people, who\\ncame with Thomas Graves, from Salem and laid the foundation of\\nthe town, which they named Charlestown, in honor of King\\nCharles the First, June 24, 1629. It is claimed that Walter Pal-\\nmer built the first dwelling house in Charlestown after it was or-\\nganized as a township, on the two acres of land that were as-\\nsigned and set to him by the authority of the new town. Walter\\nPalmer s inclinations tended to stock raising and farming, but\\nhe soon found his land was inadequate to his business, notwith-\\nstanding which he continued to reside in Charlestown until 1643.\\nDuring his residence there he purchased additional real estate,\\nwhich he improved in his line of business as best he could. While\\nthus engaged he became acquainted with William Chesebrough,\\nwho lived at the time in Boston and Braintree, whose business\\npursuits were similar to those of Mr. Palmer, and after repeated\\ninterviews and consultations, they both decided to remove to the\\nPlymouth Colony, and did so remove their families and with\\nothers, joined in the organization of the town of Rehoboth, as an\\nindependent township, which was continued as such until they\\nshould subject themselves to some other government. Such an\\norganization, largely composed of strangers and situated in a re-\\nmote part of the colony, was not very well calculated to secure\\ntheir approval. It does not appear that they intended to estab-\\nlish this new township wholly as an independent organization, for\\nas soon as the preliminary steps necessary for its formation were\\ntaken, and after its organization was effected, they elected depu-\\nties to the General Court of Plymouth.

His\\nfriend Chesebrough, not relishing the way and manner in which\\nhe was treated by the General Court of the Plymouth Colony\\ndecided to look farther westward for a permanent place of abode.\\nHe visited the then new settlement of New London, by the ad-\\nvice of Mr. John Winthrop, which after a thorough examination\\nthereof, it did not answer his expectations, so he concluded to re-\\nturn homeward, and on his way came through the town of Ston-\\nington, Conn., where he visited the beautiful valley of Wequete-\\nquock, with which he was so well pleased that he decided to make\\nit his future place of abode. When he reached home and de-\\nscribed to his wife and family the situation and advantages of\\nthis valley, they all approved of it as a desirable place for their\\nhome. Mr. Chesebrough and sons immediately commenced oper-\\nations for the erection of a dwelling house, fixing its site on the\\nwest bank of Wequetequock Cove.

(For further particulars see Stanton\\nfamily), William Chesebrough, in pursuance of his arrangement\\nwith the General Court, invited his friend Walter Palmer, then\\nliving in Rehoboth, to come and join him here in the organiza-\\ntion of another new township. While Mr. Palmer was consider-\\ning this proposition, Thomas Miner, who had married his daugh-\\nter Grace, and was then a resident of New London, was also in-\\nvited to join the new settlement, which he did, by obtaining a\\nlimited grant of land of the town of New London, which he locat-\\ned on the east bank of Wequetequock Cove, and built him a\\ndwelling house thereon, to which he moved his family in the year\\n1652.

Haynes to accept of a grant of land of\\nthree hundred acres, for a farm lying east and southeast of Chese-\\nbrough s land, on the east side of Wequetequock Cove.

William Henry Palmer (No. 463), son of Alexander and wife, Adelia\\n(Billings) Palmer, was born in Stonington, Conn., Aug. 17, 1840. He graduated\\nfrom Yale College and some years succeeding he spent in Cleveland, Ohio, and\\nafterwards in New York city, where he engaged in the study of medicine. He\\nwas valedictorian of the class of 1866 at the College of Physicians and Sur-\\ngeons in New York city. Returning to Cleveland, he commenced the practice\\nof his profession there. Was Professor of Ophthalmology in Cleveland Medical\\nCollege and visiting physician in Cleveland City Hospital He died at Hart-\\nford, Conn., June 19th, 1871, of consumption. He married at Hartford six\\nmonths before his death Miss Frances Collins Dec. 13, 1870.\\nA classmate, Mr. G. S. Merriam, has kindly furnished the following brief\\nobituary\\nRemembrances of all his classmates as to Palmer will substantially agree,\\nI think, differing only as some knew him more fully than others, but to all he\\nwas the same faithful, kindly, manly fellow. He was known at first as a very\\nindustrious student, v/ho earned high rank by hard work. I remember the\\ngeneral surprise when this quiet scholar distinguished himself by a particu-\\nlarly audacious and successful raid against the Sophomores.

As\\nthese are familiar names in the Rhodes family, which came to\\nStonington, Conn., we feel that this John Rhodes, Esq., may be\\nthe connecting link in the family between England and America,\\nas he might have been the father of Capt. Simon Rhodes, who was\\nborn Jan. 24, 1716, and was of Newport, R. I., when he was mar-\\nried by Elder Joseph Park on Dec. 15, 1756, to Anne, who was\\nthe daughter of Capt. James and second wife, Content (Maxson)\\nBabcock of Westerly, R. I. Tradition says that he had been mar-\\nried before and as he was 40 years old at the time he married\\nAnne, this might have been so. The first mention of Capt. Simon\\nRhodes on the Stonington records is A distribution of lands be-\\ntween Jonathan Babcock and his sister, Ann Rhodes, the wife of\\nCapt. Simon Rhodes of Stonington, Oct. 24, 1759.

THOMAS STANTON, who became distinguished among\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0the first planters of Stonington, Conn., was in early manhood in\\nEngland designed and educated for a cadet, but, not liking the\\nprofession of arms, and taking a deep interest in the religious\\nprinciples of the migrating Puritans, he left his native land, em-\\nbarking on board of the good ship Bonaventure, in 1635, and\\nlanded in Virginia, but left there almost immediately for Bos-\\nton, mingling with the natives on the way, and rapidly acquired\\na knowledge of their language and customs. On arrival in Bos-\\nton he was recognized by Winthrop and his associates as a valu-\\nable man, worthy of the most unlimited confidence, for the very\\nnext year he was selected by the Boston authorities to accom-\\npany Mr. Fenwick and Hugh Peters, as interpreter on a mission\\nto Saybrook, Conn., to hold a conference with the Pequot In-\\ndians relative to the murder of Capt. Stone and Newton. After\\nthe close of the conference Mr. Stanton went up to Hartford,\\nand there fixed his permanent abode in 1637. Mr. Stanton s ac-\\ncurate knowledge of the language and character of the Indians\\nsoon gave him prominence in the new settlements of Connecti-\\ncut, for the very first year that he came to Hartford, the General\\nCourt gave him ten pounds for the service he had already done\\nfor the country, and declared that he should be a public officer,\\nto attend the court upon all occasions, either general or particu-\\nlar, at the meetings of the magistrates, to interpret between them\\nand the Indians, at a salary of ten pounds per annum. Mr. Stan-\\nton did not always agree with the policy of Capt. Mason and the\\ncourt relative to the treatment of the Indians, and drew upon\\nhimself their displeasure but being a man accustomed to speak\\nhis own mind and act upon his own convictions, maintained his\\nposition, though they discontinued his salary for two years, al-\\nleging long absence as the cause, and appointed Mr. Gilbert to\\ntake his place, but in 1648 they restored him to the place with its\\n-compensation.

Winthrop of Connecticut, acting as his interpreter in all of\\nhis intercourse with the Indians. It was while thus employed, in\\nan interview with Ninigret in the Narragansett country that Mr.\\nStanton became acquainted with the Pawcatuck Valley, and se-\\nlected it for his future residence. He was the first white man\\nwho joined Mr. William Chesebrough in his new settlement. He\\npetitioned the General Court of Connecticut for liberty to erect\\na trading house there, which w^as granted in February, 1650. In\\nthe spring following he came to Pawcatuck and erected his trad-\\ning house on the west bank of Pawcatuck river, in Stonington, in\\n165 1, near a place ever since known as Pawcatuck Rock, for the\\nreason that the deep water channel in the river touched the east\\nside of said rock, where vessels trading with him could easily re-\\nceive and discharge their cargoes without any expense for the\\nerection of a wdiarf. Mr. Stanton did not remove his family to\\nPawcatuck in Stonington until 1657, where he had previously\\nerected a dwelling house. The precise site of this house cannot\\nnow be ascertained, but no doubt it was conveniently near his\\ntrading house on Pawcatuck River. The object of building the\\ntrading house was to open trade with the coasting vessels which\\nwere cruising along our New England shores, gathering furs\\nfrom the Indians and purchasing the surplus products of the\\nplanters, and selling the same either in Boston or in the West In-\\ndies. After the articles of confederation between the New Eng-\\nland colonies had been established in 1643, among all of the dis-\\ntinguished interpreters of New England, Mr. Stanton was se-\\nlected as interpreter general, to be consulted and relied upon in\\nall emergencies. In this capacity and in their behalf he acted as\\ninterpreter, especially between the ministers employed by the\\nCommissioners of the United Colonies, acting as agents of the\\nLondon Missionary Society, and the Indians, to whom they\\npreached. He also aided the Rev. Abraham Pierson in the trans-\\nlation of his catechism into the Indian tongue, certifying to the\\nsame in his official capacity. After Mr. Stanton became an in-\\nhabitant of Pawcatuck in Stonington he took an active part in\\ntown affairs, he became prominent, and was elected to almost\\nevery position of public trust in the new settlement. In 1658,\\nwhen Pawcatuck was included in the town of Southertown, under\\nthe jurisdiction of Massachusetts, he was appointed selectman\\nand magistrate.

The dimensions, but not the ton-\\nnage, stated in the contract are as follows The length to be 40\\nand one foot by the keel from the after part of the post to the\\nbreaking afore at the guardboard, 12 foot rake forward under her\\nload mark, at least 16 foot wide upon the midship beam, to have\\nII flat timbers and 9 foot floor, and the swoop at the cuttock 9\\nfoot, and by transom 12 foot, the main deck to have a fall by the\\nmainmast, with a cabin, and also a cook room with a forecastle.\\nFor payment the builder was to receive one-eighth of the vessel\\nand \u00c2\u00a3165, of which \u00c2\u00a316 was to be in silver money and the rest\\nin merchantable goods, the spikes, nails and iron work were to be\\nat the charge of the owners. After the vessel was launched, rigged\\nand fitted for sea Daniel Stanton bought the builder s share\\nthereof, as per the stipulations of the contract and annex. When.\\nthe vessel had received her cargo, Mr. Stanton and his family em-\\nbarked on board and went t 3 Barbadoes in the vessel, where he\\ncontinued to reside the remainder of his life.

Robert Stanton was a soldier in King Philip s war, as was his older\\nbrothers, Capt. John and Joseph Stanton. In 1676, Capt. George Denison, with\\na large company of subordinate officers and men, who were raised in New\\nLondon county, went in pursuit of the remnant of King Philip s army, and\\nwhile a portion of them, under the command of Canonchet, the last of the\\nRoyal Narragansett Sachems, were encamped on the banks of the Pawcatuck\\nRiver in Rhode Island, they were attacked by the English, under Capt.\\nGeorge Denison, accompanied by some of the friendly Pequot and Mohegan\\nIndians, when most of the Narragansett and Wampanaog Indians fled, leaving\\nCanonchet almost entirely alone. As soon as he realized his situation, he too\\nsought safety in flight. The Indian allies of the English and a few of the\\nfleetest whites pursued him, and as he saw his pursuers were gaining on him\\nhe threw off his blanket, then his silver-laced coat and belt of peage, and ran\\nwith all possible speed, to escape from his enemies, and as he crossed the\\nrivers ford he fell and wet his gun, which so embarrassed him in his flight that\\nhe v/as soon overtaken and surrendered to Robert Stanton, son of the Interpre-\\nter General Thomas Stanton, then not 22 years old. Being questioned by the\\nyoung man, whom he personally knew, about a treaty of peace, between the\\nEnglish and Indians, and not wishing to recognize the authority of his youthful\\ninquisitor, he looked upon him with lofty and deflant contempt, and said you\\nare a child, you cannot understand matters of war; let your brother, Capt.\\nJohn Stanton, or your chief, Capt. George Denison, come, then I will answer.\\nBut when the ofiicers whom he had requested to see came up, he refused to\\nenter into any negotiations with them, so he was brought a prisoner to Ston-\\nington, where a council of war was held, which he declined to recognize, and\\nafter his absolute refusal to enter into and abide by a treaty of peace with the\\nEnglish, who, after considering their defenseless conditions and his ferocious\\ntemper, he was condemned and ordered to be shot, and when told of his fate\\nhe said that he liked it well, and should die before his heart had grown soft\\nor he had said anything unworthy of himself, and so he was shot near An-\\nguilla in Stonington.\\nCHILDREN:\\n266 JOANNA, b.

The following sketch of her heroism ap-\\npears in the history of Haverhill, Mass. During the Indian war,\\nwhen so many of the inhabitants of Haverhill were killed, the\\nIndians attacked their house, which stood in the field now called\\nWhite s lot, nearly opposite to the house of Capt. Emerson.\\nMr. Swan and his wife saw them approaching, and, determined,\\nif possible, to save their own lives and the lives of their children\\nfrom the knives of the ruthless butchers. They immediately\\nplaced themselves against the door, which was so narrow that\\ntwo could scarcely enter abreast. The Indians rushed against it,\\nbut finding that it could not be easily opened, they commenced\\ntheir operations more systematically. One of them placed his\\nback to the door so that he could make his whole strength bear\\nupon it, while others pushed against him. The strength of the\\nbesiegers was greater than that of the besieged, and Mr. Swan,\\nbeing rather a timid man, almost despaired of saving himself and\\nfamily and told his wife that he thought it would be better to\\nlet them in, but this resolute and courageous woman had no such\\nidea. The Indians had now succeeded in partly opening the\\ndoor, and one of them was crowding himself in, while the other\\nwas pushing lustily after. The heroic wife saw that there was\\nno time for parleying; she seized her bake spit, which was\\nnearly three feet in length, and a deadly weapon in the hands\\nof the woman, as it proved, and collecting all the strength she\\npossessed, drove it through the body of the foremost.

When the eleventh of April\\n1627, came around, John Tompson was dead, and at that date his\\nwill was probated in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Alice\\nwas probably the second wife of John Thompson. The son\\nThomas, who is mentioned in his will, was, doubtless, a child of\\nthe first wife, and the eldest son, by reason of a better inheritance\\nthan the others received.

The first knowledge that\\nwe have of him in this country is when he appears as a resident\\nof the town of Lynn, Mass., in 1635, when and where he was elect-\\ned constable, and held other official positions later on. In 1642\\nhe was admitted to the privilege of a freeman of the common-\\nwealth of Massachusetts, purchasing large tracts of land there,\\nincluding a mill site, upon which he built and operated a saw\\nand grist mill.

And\\nmy body I commit unto the dust to be decently buried by my Executors here-\\nafter named, trusting that at the day of his appearing I shall receive a\\nglorious body. And for my temporal estate I dispose of it in the manner fol-\\nlowing:\\nImprimis. I will, the true and faithful performance of the covenant between\\nmyself and my well beloved wife, in full and in specie according to the time\\nmentioned in said covenant, and that my three sons, Samuel, Isaac and\\nStephen, shall pay the same by equal proportions.\\nItem. I give to my son Samuel, besides what I have already given him,\\nand is in his possession, my middle lot between my swamp and my rocks\\nlying before his door.\\nItem. All my swamp except fourscore and ten rods next my barn, which I\\nreserve to the same.\\nItem. Ten acres of wood-land, more or less, at Walkhill.\\nItem.
