More than twenty bridges\\ncross these streams two of iron, several of stone, arched, the\\nothers of wood. The streams, ordinarily so gentle and useful\\nand delightful, sometimes swell to mighty torrents, doing much\\ndamage besides carrying off bridges, some of which have been\\nrepeatedly destroyed, and i-ebuilt at great exi)ense to the town.\\nThe early inhabitants settled mostly on the hills, where many of the\\nbest farms are situated and consequently the early roads were made\\nto climb over the hills from house to house, with here and there long\\nand steep ascents and descents. And these roads appear to have\\nsatisfied the wants of the people pretty well for many years.

The assembly in early times\\nwas held in tiie church, but at the present day the meetings are held\\nin a Town House, or hall, built for the purpose.

It did not take long to learn the rules for\\nvocal nuisic in those days the rising and falling of the notes Avere\\nsoon accomplished. The first tune practised was Tittle Marll)or-\\nough, the second was Pl3 mouth. When we could call the notes\\nto those tunes, we imagined ourselves quite singers, with the praise\\nof oiu- instructor, ery few of that school are left to remember it\\nnow. In the ministry of Mr. Fisk they had what is termed congre-\\ngational singing. They sang from David s Psalms. The Deacon\\nwould read a line, conunence the tune, all the people would follow\\nliim, then another line, and they would finish the [)salm in that way.\\nAt last the younger singers wished to improve, and a Mi Herrick\\nwas hired to teach. He had three sessions a day. tiu tunes were\\nlively and they had a great interest in them. After a while they\\nhad a desire for instrumental music with the singing. This was\\nmost bitterly opposed by a number of men advanced in yeai s.\\nThey would leave the church every time singing commeiu-ed.

Later the complications of European pol-\\nitics entered into the problem, and the French and their savage\\nallies devastated the frontiers. The Revolution of 1775-1780 fol-\\nlowed, to which this chapter is specially devoted. The war of 181 2\\nwith (ireat Britain, which was a species of second Revolutionary\\nwar, was next in succession. Then came the Florida war with the\\nIndians, and other border contests. From 184 to 1848 the Mexi-\\ncan war was waged to extend the area of slavery, and, hence, did\\nnot awaken enthusiasm in New England. And, last and greatest\\nof all, the civil war of I8GI-I8G0 aroused the military ardor of the\\nwhole country, north and south, and ended with the glorious result\\nof the overthrow of slavery, and the more perfect union of all tlu;\\nstates and territories in one American nation.\\nIt is not strange, therefore, that military affairs should engross\\na large share of attention in our history.

They started together to circulate a petition for a charter, and\\nfound most of those whose attention they called to the s^ubject, ready\\nto sign at once. A few hesitated on account of the existence of a\\nfarmers club, which was then in a Honrishing condition.

Not much clew has been found to the ordination ser-\\nvices, except a list of the churches invited to aid in them.*\\nThe second meeting-house was a large two-story building, situ-\\nated a little to the north of the old one on the common. It was\\nbuilt, like the tirst house, at the expense of the whole town. It had\\na porch at the east end and one at the west end. It had a\\nhigh pulpit, after the manner of the times, over which was sus-\\npended a huge sounding-board, Two rows of large windows ex-\\ntended round the building. The pews were square, with seats that\\nwere turned up in prayer time, and were let down with a distinct\\nemphasis of sound at the close. In front of the pews l)efore the\\npulpit were open seats for the aged and deaf, and directly imder the\\nhigh pulpit, the deacons seat and the communion table. Galleries\\nwere built on three sides of the church, supported by pillars planted\\nin the churt-h tloor.

Originally there was\\nno bell, but one was placed in the east tower, or porch, in the year\\n1832.\\nAt the raising of the church on September 7, 177;), a terrible acci-\\ndent occurred. When the frame was nearly up, one of the central\\nbeams broke and fell, because the post that supported it was rotten\\nor worm-eaten at the core. A large body of timber, boards and tools,\\nsuch as axes, iron bars, hammers, adzes, etc., and upwards of fifty\\npersons standing on the beams in the middle of the frame, all fell\\nto the ground, nearly thirty feet below. Three men were instantly\\nkilled, two died soon after of their wounds, others were crippled\\nfor life, and of the fifty-three that fell not one escaped without\\neither broken bones, terrible bruises, or cuts from the axes and\\nother tools.

But there was little\\nsale for thern, and the low price did not admit of transporting them\\nfar to a market. These facts suggested to the mind of Samuel Ab-\\nbot, Esq., the desirableness of obtaining the more valuable part of\\nthe potato in a form less bulky, and suited to a greater variety of\\nimportant uses. Discussion of the matter with his brother. Deacon\\nEzra Abbot, led them to consider by what means this might be ac-\\ncomplished. Experiments to obtain sugar resulted only in grape\\nsugar, or glucose and this idea was abandoned. Starch in small\\nquantity for domestic use had been previously obtained from pota-\\ntoes by means of a hand grater and subsequent washings. But to\\nobtain it in large quantity with machinery and a greater power was\\nnot known ever to have been attempted. To do this successfully\\nwould not only create a better market for potatoes, but it promised\\nremuneration for expense by furnishing a valuable article for ex-\\ntensive consumption. Mutual interchange of ideas on the subject\\nfinally led to action.\\nEarly in the fall of 1811, as appears, a building about twenty\\nfeet square was erected, at his own expense, by P^^zra Abbot, near\\nhis house, the lower story for a horse to turn a shaft connected in\\nthe second story with machinery for washing and grating the pota-\\ntoes the same story to have apparatus for cleansing the starch\\nwith water made to flow in from a small brook, also a set of wide,\\nshallow drawers with fire underneath for drying it, the whole cost-\\ning about 8200. Months passed before the machinery was all in\\nplace. Meanwhile its object excited much wonderment in the\\nneighborhood. From an evasive answer to some inquisitive per-\\nson, that it was to make Free-masons by water, it was styled\\nFree-masons Hall. After it was started no admittance on\\nhe door continued the mystery some time longer.\\nThe first starch seems to have been made in the spring of 1812\\nand for five or six years Ezra Abbot continued to manufacture\\nstarch in mild weather of fall and spring, from potatoes only of his\\n\\\\\\\\n raising, kept in winter in his house cellar and taken to the mill\\nwanted. He had machinery to work only al out a dozen bushels\\nat a time, and did not work every day he made one year about\\n6000 pounds of .starch, at the rate of eight pounds of starch to each\\nbushel of potatoes.

Being now well assured of l)oth, Ezra and Samuel Abbot\\ndecided to build on a larger scale.\\nIn 1818 the site of an old disused sawmill in the near border of\\nMason was purchased, and much labor expended in preparing the\\nspot by blasting out rocks to make room for potatoes, building a\\nstone dam, quarrying other stone for the mill, c. Up to this time\\nSamuel Abbot had been in practice of the law at Dunstable and\\nafterwards at Ipswicli, Massachusetts. But in November, 1818, he\\nremoved to Wilton, and henceforth tlie brothers gave their united\\nenergies to the business under the tirm name of E. S. Al)bot.\\nFor many months they were much together, especially in evenings\\nand far into the niglit, consulting and devising the requisite machin-\\nery, much of whicli differed from that in the first mill and involved\\nthe application of new principles. As their plans became settled,\\nthe construction of the machinery was put in the hands of ditferent\\nmechanics under l)onds not to divulge. As the spring of ISl .i\\nopened, the farmers of adjacent towns were engaged to plant more\\nor less land with potatoes, and in the fall to bring tlieni the crops\\nat a fixexl price per bushel. Meanwhile the building was erected,\\n60 by 30 feet, the lower story of stone, with an L for stoi ing\\nstarch. To get in all the machinery and properly adjust it, they\\nfound to be a work of time. It was March, 1820, when they com-\\nmenced operation on their three thousand bushels of potatoes, and\\nbefore all were worked up the water became warm and required the\\nuse of ice. At first they received potatoes by measuring loads for\\ncubic inches and reducing to bushels, in a year or two by weighing\\nloads and empty carts in a frame, but in a few years they changed\\nthe frame for Fairbanks s platform scales. There being no law for\\nthe weight of a bushel of potatoes, they adopted as an average of\\nweighings by tliemselves and neighbors, the rule of sixty-four pounds", "height": "3287", "width": "1949", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofw00liv_0214.jp2"}, "215": {"fulltext": "MANUFACTURE OF POTATO STARCH. 165\\nto the busliel.

The trainings occurred on the com-\\nmon at tlie Centre of the town, usually in the spring of the year or\\nearly summer. The several companies were marshalled on the vil-\\nlage green, and displayed their tactics to the admiration of the peo-\\nple and especially of the boys. It was a holiday, and the elders\\ngathered to witness the show, and told the deeds of other days\\nwhen they perchance were led by General Gates or General Wayne\\nto victory.\\nThe muster was a more important affair. It usually took place\\nin the fall after harvest, and interested all the country-side weeks\\nbefore the event. It consisted of the review of a regiment or of a\\nbrigade by the Governor or Major General. It was held on some\\nconvenient plain which permitted military movements or evolutions,\\nand drew a great crowd of both sexes. Many popular shows were\\nattracted to the place. It was supposed that, by these glittering dis-\\nplays of the pomp and circumstance of military glory, the patriot-\\nic ardor of the people would be kept alive, while at the same time\\nsomething would be done to drill the soldier in the art of war. The\\nearly associations of the New England boy were vividl} connected\\nwith these holidays, which broke the monotony of farmer life, and\\nrecalled what he had heard from father or grandfather of the days\\nof the Revolution. This impression was carried to its climax by\\nthe sham fight, in wliich some battle was imitated, and it re-\\nquired but little imagination to see in some General Colby or Gen-\\neral James Wilson the tall form of Washington leading his troo ps\\nto victory at Trenton. But the ancient trainings and musters have\\nlong been numbered with the things of tlie past, and now exist but\\nas a tradition.\\nKIHK nEPARTMENT.\\nThe first step toward the formation of a fire department in Wil-\\nton was the purchase of a fire engine, prior to 1870, with money\\nsubscribed by residents of East Wilton, of whom the most promi-\\nnent was the linn of A. ,1. A. Putnam. This engine Avas after-\\nward presented to the town and the gift was formally accepted De-\\ncember 2;^, 1.S74. The first efficient action by the town in regard to\\na fire department was taken at the annual meeting in 1873, when it\\nwas voted that the sum of five hundred dollars be raised and ex-\\nponded by the selectmen for hose, c., for the lire engine.

He had his joke, and too often also his pipe and his\\nnuig. The huskings, the raisings, the wood-hauliugs and bees, the\\nquiltings, the weddings, the balls, the sleigh-rides, the wrestling and\\nhunting matches, the trainings and musters testify to the hilarious\\nside of the pioneer character. IVIany of these are now known only\\nin tradition. New customs have sprung up in i)lace of the old\\nones. New Avine has been put into new bottles. The old-fash-\\nioned sleigh-ride, when a large part of the inhabitants took a line\\nwinter day to make an excursion to a neighboring town, to take\\ndinner, perhaps to have a dance and to return home in the evening\\nIty moonlight, is among the things that were. If they go to merry-\\nmakings now it is by railroad. Balls and weddings are per-\\nmanent institutions. Of old there were no festivals like our modern\\nSunday school excursions, and the picnic was not known to the fa-\\nthers. Bees, quiltings, huskings and raisings, and other neigli])or-\\nhood gatherings are, for the most part, done with. Wood-haulings\\nfor the parson or for a decayed brother are superseded by donation\\nand surprise parties. The Willing Workers and the Cheerful\\nWorkers, the benevolent sewing circles and the sociables\\nof the churches have stepped in to occui)y the [)lace once fdled by\\nmore boisterous entertainments.\\nChildren have more festivities than of old and go earlier into so-\\n^ciety.

These are the sirens that be-\\nwitch our clay.

The farmer s frock, the mechanic s aprou\\nor the house-wife s home-spun dress has no more any beauty that\\nman or woman should desire it. Service is still a long way be-\\nhind show, as a key to open the chief places at feasts and the high\\nseats in the synagogues.\\nBut if society has grown more exclusive, it has, strange paradox,\\ngrown more philanthropic. The humanities and amenities flourish\\napace.

With the completion of the rough\\nwork, and increase of property, we must have time and strength left free\\nfrom hread-earning, for cultivation of self, and improvement and adorn-\\nment of the town. I know 1 trench here upon doul)tful ground. I know,\\ntoo, that what was true in the forty s and fifty s is not true today. At\\nthat time, with a constant and growing market in New England, wliich\\ncould be supi)lied with agricultural i)roducts ou\\\\y from New England, our\\nprospects were bright for increase of population and of wealth, and the\\nthings they bring. But the Texan steer stalked suddenly out of the nnst,\\nand our tended and housed cattle could not stand up against him. The\\nrailroads stretched their arms into the West, and biought back grain from\\nlands, the richness of which was fabulous to the rock-born New England\\nfarmer. The application of steam to machinery stole away from us the\\nadvantage we had in our thousands of streams, even before we had our-\\nselves wantonly destroyed them by cutting off the forest tliat fed them.\\nMoreover, the rapid development of the resources of the countrj^ called\\naway to the cities a class of men whose great works there are but cold\\ncomfort to the towns who have lost their help. I believe the Ne\\\\v Eng-\\nland farmer of thirty or forty years ago is dead without successor. I con-\\nceive him to have been a man of liberal mind, of acute interest in public\\naffairs, who worked half a day in the tield, and the other lialf in law, re-\\nligion, politics or business wlio gave himself time for social works, and\\nfor the observation of the world s doings. But the need of lawyers, doc-\\ntors and nierchants soon called foi- the whole time of all that had any\\nability for those things. Although. i)erhai)s, the present farmers are bet-\\nter tillers of the soil than their fathers, yet the diverse abilities and inter-\\nests of the older men would have made themselves felt in the villages in\\none social or business attraction or another, while the leisure and sim-\\nl licity of the times must luive thrown a charm about the farms that mod-\\nern conditions have dissipated. Our own times have imposed limitations\\nupon us that we must abide by. If we say that the great amount of\\nknowledge in all departments, combined w ith fierce competition, lias com-\\npelled him who would succeed to devote his whole soul to his one busi-\\nness, we only utter a platitude but in those days it probably was not\\ntrue, certainly not stale. 1 suspect that while those men of the old time\\nfarmed, they were but half farmers and half something else. We of\\ntoday have learned the lesson of the times, and we content ourselves with\\nthe best results that nature and our conditions permit. From tliese\\ncaus !S loss of men, opening of richer lands, progress in arts and science,\\nthe New England towns have been checked in their advance. We liave\\nnot to show what we might have been expected to show in my fatlier s\\nrarly life.

We must throw out into contrast the manners and conservatism of\\nthe East and the radicalism and roughness of the West.

With a diminishing farming population, and no other\\nindustry to take the place of farming, the current of progress would have\\nleft us stranded high and dry, feeble in -nmnbers, and of no diversity in\\nsentiment and Judgment. The moral influence of the railroad will be rec-\\nognized by every man who but compares his own town with tliose lying\\nnear, who from any reason, good or bad, did not seize upon the oppor-\\ntunity at the time ()f its building to lift themselves into the atmosphere of\\nthe new life.\\nIf I were to name some of the things that have occurred to me thai l)e-\\nlong to our time to do. the first would be the building of a library.

Mr. Welliugtou\\ncontinued his business about a year aud then disposed of it to Mr.\\nDavid L. Pierce, who at that time was a retail milk dealer iu Bos-\\nton, and through him the business increased so that it became\\nnecessary to have a car built and run expressly for milk. Mr.\\nPierce, after continuing in the business for three or four years, be-\\ncame financially embarrassed, and in 1857 sold his entire interest\\nto the senior member of the present firm of David Whiting Sons.\\nThe business of producing milk in Wilton and in towns along the\\nline of the Wilton Railroad has steadily increased from that time to\\nthe present. A special milk train is now ruu daily from Hills-\\nborough to Boston, with one car from Hillsborough, one from Wilton\\nand one from Milford. One car from Concord, Massachusetts, is\\nalso added to the train at Lexington, and, at North Cambridge\\nJunction, two from Barre aud Hudson, Massachusetts, making a\\ntrain of six cars expressly for milk.\\nIn the early days of milk production for the Boston market, one\\nof tiie most serious objections to the business was iu meeting the\\nconstant variation in trade, owing to the larger demand on some\\ndays than on others, so that a farmer who sold milk was obliged\\nevery few days to make butter or cheese of his surplus. In 1864\\nthe introduction of the cheese factory did away with this serious\\nobjection, and at once placed the business on a more reliable basis.\\nSince then no product of the farm is more sure of ready sale. The\\ncapacity of our first cheese vat was sixty gallons, and the cheese\\nwas manufactured in a back room of Mr. Whiting s house. The\\nbusiness of cheese makiug rapidly increased, and when it was de-\\n1^ cided to order a new vat of latest improvement, with a capacity of\\ntwo hundred and fifty gallons, the climax for the care of surplus\\nmilk was supi)osed to have been reached. About the year 1875 the\\nmanufacture of butter was found to be more satisfactory than that", "height": "3277", "width": "1980", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofw00liv_0295.jp2"}, "294": {"fulltext": "230 HISTORY OF WILTON.\\nof cheese, aud the factory and fixtures were changed accordingly\\nto their present location.

EPHRAIM I .ROWN.\\nThese recollections are gathered from my own observation and\\nfrom descriptions given by members of the French family. I was\\nmuch about the mills iu my boyhood, and the French place was a\\nfamiliar playground. At that time, while fishing in the river di-\\nrectly east of the old dwelling-house of the original French family,\\n1 observed timbers in the bed of the river, apparently placed there\\nby design, and traces of timbers on the banks, showing that a dam\\nliad been erected there, which was afterwards overflowed by the\\ndam built lower down by Mr. Killum s. Fifty years later Burleigh\\nFrench told me that before his father. Deacon Burleigh French,\\ncame to Wilton in company with his father, James French, a dam\\nand mill had been built there by a Mr. Barker, or Baker. In some\\nfreshet these were swept away. Subsequently a dam was built\\nhigher uiAheJstream against the ITesselton place, the north end of\\nwhich stands there to this day, and a canal was dug down the\\nstream to the site of the old saw and grain mills, recently burned.\\nThese mills were owned by .James French and his son. Deacon Bur-\\nleigh French.\\nI heard from the lips of the daughter of James French, a sister\\n1)1 Burleigh French, the story of the raising of the second dam of", "height": "3277", "width": "1980", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofw00liv_0305.jp2"}, "302": {"fulltext": "236 HISTORY OF WILTON.\\nthe old Freueli mill, opposite the house of ^Ir. Joel Ilesselton on\\nthe Souhegau River. In those days such structures were built of\\nheavy timbers, which were prepared and placed in a horizontal po-\\nsition then many men were required to raise them to their proper\\nplace. Saturday night came before all things were ready for the\\nraising, and with it came also clouds and signs portending a storm\\nof rain. If the water rose in this rapid and i-agged river, not onl}\\nwould the erection of the dam be delayed, but there was great dan-\\nger that the frame, now laid in position in the bed of the stream,\\nwould be washed away and lost. Sunday morning the heavens\\nwere still more threatening.\\nWhatever may have been the scruples of Mr. James French\\nregarding the keeping of the Lord s Day in general, and whatever\\nmay have been the opinion and practice of his workmen and of his\\nneighbors, it was deemed expedient to lay these scruples aside, and\\nto proceed at once to raise the frame, that it might not be lost. The\\nneighborhood, yea, the whole town, had an interest in that dam.\\nMills in old colonial times, one hundred or two hundred years ago,\\nwere deemed to be of great public benefit, and to be worthy of\\nespecial legislation in their favor. It is not strange, then, that to\\nraise that dam on that Sunday was decided to be a work of neces-\\nsity and mercy, both to save the property of INIr. French, and to\\nsuppl} a needy public with a place to grind its corn and saw its\\nlumber. I have little doubt the intent had been to raise the dam\\non a week day, and to invite much help, perhaps the whole town,\\nas was the custom on similar occasions. But to call in so many on\\nthe Sabbath day would not be in keeping with the second coiu-\\nmandment. I pon consultation, it was decided to have only so\\nmany men as seemed needful to do the work and to forbear to\\ndraw off from the service of the sanctuary, any whose help seemed\\nnot to be absolutely necessary.\\nWhen the time for action came, the men were placed, each in\\nhis station and at his post of duty.

Slowly and heavily the\\nmassive timbers were carried up to the breast of the men. Here\\ntliey ceased to move higlier.

The congrega-\\ntion rushed from the house, and in less time than J have taken to\\nrelate it, men were running down the hill-sides or urging their nim-\\nble steeds over the interval road, dashing to the rescue.

The distance is nearly one\\nmile and a half. Fifteen minutes would be a very quick run for the\\nfleetest man or for a good horse. To sustain the failing strength\\nof the sinking men under the heavy beams, the daughter of James\\nFrench mixed strong drink, walked into the bed of the river, held\\nthe stimulating beverage to pale and parched lips, and thus enabled\\nthe men to hold out until help arrived.\\nI will relate another incident connected with this spot. When\\nthe former dam was washed away, the rushing waters made an ex-\\ncavation in the earth below its base some ten or twelve feet deep.\\nThis remained lilled with water. A valuable implement fell from\\ntlie hands of one of the workmen into this pit. Phineas Lovejoy,\\nbrother of David and IMoses Lovejoy, plunged in to recover it. In\\nthis he failed.

Realizing\\nthe desperate nature of his situation, Mr. French, an expert swim-\\nmer and an athletic man, while at the bottom of the pit threw Love-\\njoy over his shoulder, struggled up its precipitous outlet, and crept\\nupon dry land, both men, from exhaustion, unable to stand.", "height": "3277", "width": "1980", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofw00liv_0307.jp2"}, "304": {"fulltext": "238 HISTORY OF WILTON.\\nYOUTH FUI.

The front guards\\nand ritlemen exchanged a few shots witli the enemy, and in a short time\\nour artillery was brouglit to bear upon them. J he heat of the engage-\\nment was between the troops of the New Hampshire line and a large\\nnumber of the enemy on an eminence at the right. We soon heard a\\nwhoop from the Indians, which, our guides informed us, was a signal for\\nretreating. We pursued them a short distance, but not overtaking them\\nand night approaching, we encamped.

In a short time a cow, the only one we saw in tliat part of the\\ncountry, came into the camp, and was secured. Gen.

She was taken under our pro-\\ntection and returned to the abode of civilization. Her child survived only\\na day or two after she Joined us.\\nThis little band of troops was now placed in a peculiarly trying situa-\\ntion. They were few in number (only four small brigades), at the distance\\nof 250 miles from any other civilized beings, and were surrounded by a\\ntreacherous aiHnmi)lacal)le enemy, with a scanty allowance of provisions,\\nand their emaciated pack-horses were galled by the wooden saddles even\\nto the bone.

But that merciful Providence, which seems\\nto have exercised a peculiar guardian care over the American army and\\nthe American people during the devolution, protected them, and returned\\nthem in safety to their companions in arms.\\nThe next morning after arriving at (xenesee, the troops were ordered\\nout at day-break to destroy the coi-n which we found growing there,\\nwhich having done, we commenced our return, moving forward as rapidly\\nas possible.

Peavey, a resident of Sehaghticoke,*New York, after\\nreading Mr. Gray s narrative in the Fanners Cabinet, wrote him,\\nabont 1840, the following letter\\nI have related the story to a number of the aged peojjle in hopes of\\ntinding some one who might be accpiainted with some of the events. The\\nfirst man I conversed with was Major Vanvecton, aged between seventy\\nand eighty, who heard the story with apparent interest. When I men-\\ntioned the man who was shot by the Indians, said he, Mr. Gray is right\\nhis name was Siperly. I can show you the verj- spot where he fell. The\\nman who came riding back was Old Foiser. A few days after this Mr.\\nVanvecton went and pointed out the spot to me where Siperly fell. It\\nwas on the bank of the Tompanock Creek, where a point of the hill presses\\nthe road close to the creek. The Indians had secreted themselves and\\nshot Siperly from his horse as he was returning to his farm from the vil-\\nlage. Inuuediately after the death of Siperly, Major Knickerbockei- of\\nthe settlement sent his negro to the North River, about three miles dis-\\ntant, where some of the neighbors were engaged in placing their property\\naboard of boats to secure it from the enemy, that he might inform them\\nof the death of Siperly. Major Vanvectou s father and Solomon Acherth\\nstarted for the settlement. They had proceeded about half wlay when\\nthey were tired upon by Indians; Vanvecton received two balls in his\\nthigh, which passed through his tobacco box in his breeches pocket, and\\nhe fell, unable to help himself. Acherth shot one Indian with his own\\ngun and killed him, then took Vanvectou s gun and wounded another.\\nHe then ran and was closely pursued to the river; he leaped down the\\nbank, plunged into the river and succeeded in crossing in safety.\\nMajor Vanvecton brought out the tobacco box, wiiich he had preserved.\\nIt was a round sheet-iron box, four and a quarter inches in diameter.\\nThe balls had cut their bigness through the cover as they struck. On the\\nother side they left a qua iter of an inch between, making two holes.\\nIn regard to the bull you shot while on sentry, Black Tom, who was\\nthen about 12 years old and lived in the settlement, says he recollects the\\nbull being shot, but does not know who owned it.\\nVanvecton, the father, who was shot, lived about 80 rods south of the\\nplace where you were stationed, and near the south side of the i)lain,\\nwhich contains about r2r)0 acres. This plain was the seat of the Schaghti-\\ncoke tribe of Indians, who had 1000 warriors on the grouiul one hundred\\nand twentj-five years ago. Three or four, who still linger about the\\nneighborhood, are all that remain of the tribe.", "height": "3277", "width": "1980", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofw00liv_0325.jp2"}, "322": {"fulltext": "CHAPTER XXIX.\\nlU GO R A PIT I A L SKETCHES.\\nREV. .lONATlIAN LIVEUMOUK.

IJV KUANCIS i:i,LIN(; WOOD ABBOT.\\nJoseph Hale Abbot was the eldest son of Deacon Ezra and\\nRebekah (Hale) Abbot, of AViltou. He was born, September 25,\\n1802, on Abbot Hill, on the homestead farm originally settled in\\n1764 by his grandfather, Major Abiel Abbot, one of the most\\nhonored men of the town, who, as shown by the original com-\\nmissions still extant, had been Captain of the Ninth Company in\\nthe Sixth Regiment of the Militia of His Majesty s Province\\nof New Hampshire under King George III., successively\\nSecond Major and First Major of the Fifth Regiment of the\\nState Militia in the Revolutionary war, and for forty consecutive\\nyears either town olKcer in some responsible capacity or town repre-\\nsentative in the State Legislature. That Deacon Ezra Abbot was\\nno less honored and influential in town affairs than his father, is\\napparent in the fact that he was chosen to be president of the day\\nat the memorable Wilton centennial celebration in 1831). His\\nwife, Rebekah Hale, of Coventry, Connecticut, lineally descended\\nfrom the Rev. .lohn Hale, first minister of the town of Reverly,\\nMassachusetts, who died in 1700, was daughter of Lieutenant\\nJoseph ILalo and niece of Captain Nathan Hale, both patriot\\nsoldiers in the Continental Army, and the latter famous as the\\nMartyr-Spy of the Revolution, whose pathetic fate and dying\\nwords, I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my\\ncountry 1 were reverently remembered in that serious New Eng-\\nland household.\\nIn a home dignilied and hallowed by such memories as these,\\nJoseph Hale Abbot passed his early years. He began his prepara-\\ntion for college in his native town under the Rev. Thomas lieede,\\nand finished it, in 1818, under his venerated uncle, the Rev. Abiel\\nAbbot, D. D., then principal of Dummer Academy in Jiylield,\\nMassachusetts. He was graduated at liowdoin College in 1822,\\nstanding very near the head of his class. After spending a year\\nin Cambridge as resident graduate at Harvard College, he took\\ncharge of a select school at IJeverly, which he conducted with\\nsignal success. From 182; to 1M27 he was tutor and librarian at\\nliowdoin College, where he taught Latin, geometry, French and\\nSpanish.

It is said that he was a very small man, but very\\nactive. On arriving at Salem he deserted, and. being closely imrsned.\\nrushed into ;i house where a woman was seateil on a bench, spinning ui on\\na linen wheel, and implored her to secrete him. She raised one side of t iic\\nlarge hooj) around the l)Ottom of her dress, which it was then the fashion\\nto wear, and told him to crawljunder it. luunediately the pursuers came\\nand asked if a man had entered there; she, still busy with her wheel,\\nreplied, A little fellow rushed thnuigh here. Thej said they would\\ntake the liberty to search the liouse, and did so, Init went away without\\nlinding the deserter. No doubt William Bales had good cause tt) (hiidc\\nhighly of wliat would now be thought :i most ludicrous fashion.

Tradition says that Gen. Blood and\\nMr. Buttertield met and had some talk of going to Exeter together. But\\nGen. Blood wished to anticipate .^^r. Buttertield, so he borrowed from\\nCol. Towne of Xew Ij)swich. his liorse, hat, wig and complete costume\\nand started for Exeter. As he passed ^Mr. Buttcrti(dd, who was standing\\nin his door waiting, the splendid horse and imposing costume so attracted\\nButterrteUrs attention that he did not recogni/e tlie man.

In answer to the sunnnons, the\\nCouncil and House of Kepresentatives met on the day appointed and\\niunnediately resolved themselves into a committee of the whole to join tlie\\nCommittee of Safety for a conference.\\nTlie state was at that time destitute of money and means, and had done\\nall that the citizens generally supposed it could do in furnishing troops;\\nbut the alternative was before them of assisting to check the advance of\\nBurgoyne s army by sending a force to Vermont, or of having the battle-\\nfield of the future transferred to their own territory. On the second day\\nof this special session the committee of the whole recommended that the\\nmilitia of the state be divided into two brigades, the first to comprise the\\nregiments in the eastern portion of the state and to be under the command\\nof Brigadier-General William Whipple; tM second to comprise those in\\nthe western portion of the state and to be under the command of Briga-\\ndier-General John Stark. The committee also recommended that four\\ncompanies of rangers be raised in the second brigade to scout on tlie\\nfrontiers, under the orders of General Stark. These recomniendatloiis\\nwere adopted by the Legislature the same day. Letters from Ira Allen,\\nsecretary of the Council of Safety of Vermont, earnestly entreating that\\ntroops be sent to their assistance, were then read in committee of the\\nwhole, of which Mesliech Weare was chairman. The matter of furnishing\\nmen was fully discussed, and it was generally conceded that the exigency\\nof the occasion retiuired the raising and forwarding of a portion of the\\nmilitia at once. The main question was as to obtaining money to pay\\nand etpiip them. The treasury of the state was empty, and no way of\\nreplenisliing it presented itself until tlie patriotic John Langdou aro.se.", "height": "3287", "width": "1949", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofw00liv_0706.jp2"}, "699": {"fulltext": "APPENDIX. 551)\\nami said I have one thousand dollars* in hard money.

This\\nforce was to be under the command of General Stark, who accepted the\\ncommission with the understanding that he was to exercise his own judg-\\nment in the management of his troops, and be accountable to and take\\norders from the authorities of New Hampshire, and no other. A draft\\nwas unnecessary; men enlisted with alacrity^ and were forwarded to\\n(harlestown (No. 4) by detachments, that place having been designated\\nfor rendezvous.
