But if it has\\nnothing to boast of renowned characters beyond what is com-\\nmon to other localities and settlements in its vicinity, it still\\ncontains the seeds of things whose productions it becomes\\nus well to study and understand.\\nAs to names, the world is full of them, because it is\\nfull of things, and we have the highest authority for their\\nuse and record. When in the beginning God made the light,\\nhe gave it a name he called the light day, the darkness he\\ncalled night the firmament, heaven the dry land, earth\\nand the gathering of the waters he called seas. So, when\\nhe made man he called him Adam, and the helpmate for\\nhim, Eve and these two were the head and progenitors of\\nall our race. This is ample authority for names and their\\nrecord. We have also equal authority in the Scripture\\ngenealogy for the registration of families, as such, in their\\nlocal habitation.\\nThe sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japhet, went forth\\nout of the Ark, and of them the whole earth was overspread.\\nAgain, it is written, (Gen. 10:32,) These are the families of", "height": "3557", "width": "2112", "jp2-path": "genealogicalhist00browa_0007.jp2"}, "8": {"fulltext": "tlie sons of Noah, after their generations in their nations,\\nand by them were the nations divided in the earth after the\\nflood.\\nEvery settlement has a beginning, a development, a prog-\\nress.

Families make a settlement, and if\\nthe origin and progress of a settlement contain items of\\nvalue and of interest, to no others, surely they must to\\nthemselves and to their descendants.

SAMUEL BAEBEE, the subject of these historical\\nsketches, had the reputation of a good citizen, although\\nsomewhat eccentric in his habits and not unfrequently im-\\npulsive in his actions. He doted much in his skill in roots\\nand herbs; was famous as a hunter, the woods at that time\\naffording an abundance of game. In one of his hunting\\nexcursions in Norfolk, accompanied by some of his sons\\nthey chased a large panther into his den, and how to dislodge\\nhim from his hiding place was the first question to be\\nsolved. The old gentleman, nothing daunted, Patnam like,\\ndescended into the cavern after grouping his way some\\ndistance the panther not relishing this intrusion upon his\\nretreat suddenly turned and made for the entrance of his\\nden which he accomplished by closely squeezing by his\\nbold intruder. The panther, on his arrival at the mouth of\\nthe den, seeing the party without prepared to give him bat-\\ntle, stood motionless, when one of the sons discharged a\\nball through his body and intestines which produced no\\nemotion, the animal sullenly retaining his position. This\\nact of the son called forth a sharp reprimand from his father,\\nfor his not taking a more effective aim, and calling for his\\ngun the old gentleman discharged a ball through the head\\nof the animal which put an end to his existence. This\\nexploit may justly be put on a parallel with the famous\\nstory of Putnam and the Wolf.\\nThe family of Barbers were among the earliest and most\\nconspicuous of West Simsbury and a more extended notice\\nof them is here given.

This party\\nstrife has passed through different shapes, assumed various names and\\nenlisted and paid different partisans, for more than sixty years; but\\nenough of these remarks.

With respect to the season, a severe drouth commenced in\\nJune and lasted till September. It killed the turf in many of the\\nupland mow lots, but the summer of 1807, was so extremely wet and\\ngrowing, as to restore the ground to its wonted greenness.\\n1808.

Different politicians of the different beligerent nations,\\ndid, for the time being, express their different views respecting the\\ncall for the war, but both nations were extremely glad to be rid of it\\nsoon as possible.\\n1814.

The important and interesting relation\\nthat had long existed between him and his people was dissolved by\\nhis death on the 23d day of June, 1826. His death occasioned the\\nmost intense feeling and deep interest, and spread an almost impene-\\ntrable cloud over the community; yet his pious and devoted life, and\\nhis peaceful death, carried the conviction to every reflecting mind,\\nthat he had exchanged this world of toil, and care, and pain, for that\\nbetter and brighter world above.\\nHis amiable and beloved consort closed her connection with earthly\\nscenes on the 3d day of November, 1836, She was a bright exam-\\nple of industry, economy and piety, always ready to do all in her\\npower to relieve the sick and suffering, and promote the spiritual\\nand temporal welfare of the people.
