PREFACE

These biographies are gathered and arranged for the use of theg~nerations in the direct line of descent from Ed\vard Winslow, as the)Twill inevitably be dispersed in t.he future, giving into their possession,in a cOlllpact fonn, this kno'wledge of the incidents ill the lives of those.who preceded them. They are facts reliable and without enlbellishment.

Adopting the sentiments expressed in the introduction to thehistory of the Otis faDlily by Horatio N. Otis, meulber of theNew England Historical and Genealogical Society of New York, wequote as follo\vs:

"It is to be regretted \\Thile sketching the external circumstancesof some, the chroniclers, that suc:.h a man was born, died, and ranthrough such a circle of honors, etc., that we cannot more carefullytr~ce the history of mind, those la-\vs which goycrn in the transDlissionof physieal and Inental qualification.

"In the 11iEt.ories of faluilics tbat have been made, it is seen that thenlental and physical qualities, the forms of body and face, the tastes,talents) and propensities, modes of thinking and aGting have descendedthrougbout the \vhole line of their progeny frolu the Pilgrim ancestors,and remain stamped even upon this generation. If this is true, everyone should exan1ine the subject. These laws of Natllre ought to bedeeply regarded by man, for they af:ect his posterity to the latestgeneration. "

"Go, call thy sons! Instruct them what a debt t.ller owe theirancestors; and make them sweat to pay it by transmitting clo,yn entirethose sacred rights to which themselves were born." Akenside.

The successive links as they occur in the chain lTIay easily be added.. An unbroken line back to Ed\vard Winslo,v, and farther back into

England to the year 1300, by consultation of the chart at Droitwich.These biographies should illeite a noble eluulation in those who follow,to \visely build t.he structure of their lives in view of their responsi­bilities. For, no purer line of six generations exists in this country.

'110 the Descendants of Edtvard lJ'inslo1V of the lJfayflower

These Genealogies ,vere gathered and compiled b)" my l\Iother,Daughter of Elizabeth \V"inslo\\' the last o,vner in the line of the OldHomestead at ~farshfield.

She began gathering the l11aterial and Genealogies in 1828, whenmany people of two former generations ,vere st.ill living, ,vho couldcontribute much of personal recollection of fifty years before her time.

She spent the next forty years, until 1868, in research, and broughther records down to the year 1865. She died in 1888, and left the 11lanu­script to me to be puLlished if it seemed Lest.

As time goes Oll, I feel that lowe it to the descendants of ourCOlnmon l\.ncestor, that they should have in cOlllpact form the knowledgewhich these Genealogies contain. Especially in these 'days, ,,""hen somany of the nanle of \'Tinsl0\"" haye a some,vuat yague ilnpressioll thatthey are descended fronl Ed,,-ard \Vinslow of the 1fayflower.

As will be seen by the record, Edwar<l "\Vinslo\'t, the father ofGovernor Edward of the ~Jayflo,\er,had fiye sons and three daughters,:J1Jdward, J"ohn, Eleanor, I~ellehl1, Gilbert, Elizabeth, !Iagdalen, J osias.

From thenl alone can anyone 1))" nalne of "Vinslow trace back toG·overnor Edward. -

Through the Female I.Jine we find desecndants in t.he followingnames: Whitman, Randall, Brya.nt, "lillialTIs, "\Varren, IIay,vard,~ittle, Torrey, Stockbridge, "\Vbite, Corwin, Burton and others.

It is a matter of regret tllat the large fund of anecdote' andreminiscence in the possession of the Warren and Whitman familiesof the sixth and seventh generations have yanished with theln.

J.fay their sterling qualities live in their descendants.The portraits which hung in the 'Vinslow House for generations

were deposited by the families of "\\Thitman and 'Vinslow, in the }'Iassa­chusetts Historical Society in Boston, where they remained manyyears. They were placed in Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, where they find.a fitting resting place.

The portraits herein were taken in Boston about 1870 for mymother by Black from t.he originals in the original frames.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

. ·"At the time of the death of Queen Elizabeth, in 1603, 110 yearsafter the discovery of America by Columbus, no nation, except theSpanish, had effected a settlement in the New 'Vorld. And in all thecontinent north of Mexico, not a single EU,ropean family ,,"as to be,found. - The }'rench, in 160G, began to make settlements in Canadaand Acadie, and Spanish soldiers were stationed at several posts inFlorida. .

Twenty years had elapsed since the first fruitless attenlpt ofSir Walter Raleigh to establish a colony' in 'Tirginia, and not anEnglishman was now to be founel in the country, and the grant toRaleigh had become void in consequence of bis attainder.

In 1606, King James I., by an ordinance dated the 10th of ..A.prjl,divided all that portion of North Anlerica which is embraced within the34th and 45th degrees of latitude into t,vo districts. The Southern,called the First Colony, he granted to the London Company; and theNorthern or Second District, he granted to the Plymouth Com-pany_ * • 4: 4: :I: «:

On the 3d of N'ovember, 1620, forty Noblemcn, Iillights and Gentle­men of England were incorporated by ICing J alnes under the uaine andstyle of 'The Council Established at Plymouth, in the County of Devon,for the planting, ruling, and governing- of Ne"r England in America.'4: * =I: :f: * t: Before this .Charter had passed the seals, tbe Pil­griJns were on tlleir way to l\.meriea, they had obtained permission fromthe IJondon C0111pallY to settle ,vithin their lin1its, Their intention wasto found tbeir settlelnents 011 the banks of the I-Illdson. But, after aperilous voyage, they arrived at Cape Cod, in the 42d degree of northlatit.ude, beyond tlle linlits of the grant to the IJonc1on Company. ItVlas too late in the season to ret.race their steps, and they resolyed,tllerefore, as they ,ycre without authority fron1 the PI)';lnouth CODlpany,to establish for thclllselvcs a forln of goverUll1ent, which was done by a

written instrument subscribed on the 11th of Noyember, 1620, in thecabin of the Mayflower.

"Now, in 1620, opened in America the first scene in the mostwonderful drama in modern history. .

"There had been sOO.rmy and windy weather, but now dawned onthe earth one of those still, golden days .of autumn, full of dreamy restand tender calm. No voice or sound from earth or sky proclaimed thatanything unwonted is coming or doing on the shores. The wanderingIndians, moving their hunting camps along the woodland paths, sawno signs in the stars that morning, and no different color in the sunrise,from what had been in the days of their fathers. No voice or sound ofcivilized man had broken the sweet calm of the forest. Panther andwildcat, under their furry coats, felt no thrill of coming dispossessioc,and saw nothing through their great, golden eyes. And yet, alike toIndians, panther, wild-cat, to every oak of the forest, to every foot ofland in America, from the stormy Atlantic to the broad Pacific, thatday was a day of days. In a moment, there is heard in the silent day,a sound of rush and ripple different from the lap of the many-tonguedwaves on the shore; and, silently as a cloud, with white wings spread,a little vessel glides into the harbor. That small, unknown ship wasthe Mayflower. Those men and women who crowded her deck werethat little handful of God's 'own wheat, which had been flailed byadversity, tossed and winnowed till earthly selfishness had been beatenaway from them, and left pure seed fit for the planting of ·a new world.And then, saJ's the Journal, 'Being now passed the vast ocean, andsea of trouble, before their preparation to seek out a place for habita­tion, they fell on their knees and blessed the Lord, the God of Heayen,,vho bad brought them oyer the vast and furious ocean, and deliveredthem fronl all peril and nlisery thereof. Elder Bre,vster, with his ,vell­worn Geneva Bible in hand, leads the thanksgiving in words which,though thousands of years old, seem as if written for the occasion ofthat hour: 'Praise the Lord, because He is good,' for His mercyendureth forever. Let them wllich have been redeelned of the Lord,show how He delivereth them from the hand of the oppressor. TheyCleey unto the Lord in tlleir troubles, and He bringeth thClll out of theirdistresses. lIe turneth the storm to a calm, so tbat the waves thereofare still. ,Vhen they are quieted they are glad, and He bringeth theminto the haven where they would be.' "

viii.

The Pilgrims brought with them, in each family, the Bible in theGeneva translation, the Book of CODlmon Prayer, and the Psalms ofDavid in metre by Sternhold and Hopkins, with the music notes of thetune adapted to singing. Therefore it was that our little band wereable to lift up tnc"}'r voices together in song, and that the noble tones ofOld Hlmdred, for the first time floated over the silent bay and mingledwitb the sounds of wind~ and waters, consecrating our Americanshores.

The family of tIle Winslows existed in England, at least for sixhundred years; the proof of vthich is an extract from a letter fromFrancis Thompson to Isaac "\Vinslow of. Hingham.

My dear sir:-

I take this opportunity of answering ~rour letter of Dec. last. Iembrace with lunch satisfaction the opportunity of re-examining suchpapers as are in my possession relative to the family of the \\Tinslows.My impression is in favor of the English origjn at least for six llundredyears; as a proof of which, I will give you a very short ol;ltline of aportion of the pedigree of the family of the " Croucheulans " asconnected "ith them, at which time the name was 1110st generallywritten *'Vyncelow or Winslow, in fact the sanle sound. The ancientresidence of the fanlily "as called" Crollchelnan 's Hall," but ,vhen itcame into the possession of the "Tinslows by marriage, it was alwaysstyled "\Vyncelo\vs," and is still written by some of our nl0derll anti­quarians "\Vyncelo,vs," and the ancient arms of that family aresculptured in stone in various parts of the old Hall as I have read;also the nalne "\Vinslows," cOlllprises both the old Hall and the ~fanor.

I have attached to it a rough ill1itation of the" Croucheman" arms, as,vell as those of the "\Vinslows as borne by them at the period of theWinslo,v nlarrying the heiress of the Crouchenlan. The gentlenlan whomarried the above heiress was a person of great repute in the cityof London, about 1350; but I am not able to deternline. from what part

of England his family came. This name is frequently mentioned inthe early history of London. .

··In the Leyden records in Holland, we read that "Edward Winslowwas married by Rev. John Robinson, May 16, 1618, to EliZabeth Barkerof Chetsun, England. Her niece, Jane Phesel, witnessed the record.The Church of good John Robinson was almost in a state of siege.Peop~e who had been cradled. in luxury or who had been all their liyesamply supplied with comforts and elegancies, now suffered. Amongthose martyrs 'to a. faith's pure shrine,' for freedom to worship God,was Elizabeth Barker. If, pale and careful, she had first accidentallymet Edward Winslow in the streets of Leyden- the fall before, anEnglish trayeller on the continent, just 22 ye~rs of age, attracted tothe ancient city, and perhaps by the fame of the University, he mayhave been utterly· indifferent

O

to the great call which had drawn herfrom her home -in Chetsnn; but she spoke English, oshe had borne nocommon trials for one of her years, and her first look may have spokento" a soul that he was not before conscious of possessing. He was aboutto receive a calling like that of Abraham. 'Get thee out of thycountry.' Some give Rev. John Robinson the credit of Edward'sconversion. That casual meeting in the streets of Leyden had in itthe fate of those five Droitwich boys, all of them n0'Y between 22 and11 yrs. of age, of whom he was the senior and was to be their leader.He had piety, intelligence and wealth."

GOV. EDWARD WINSLOW

·Gov. Edward Winslow was the eldest son of. Ed""ard Winslow,Esq., and his wife ~fagdalen Ollyver, of Droitwich in I{empsey, Worces­tershire; England, where he was born on the 19th of October, 1595.

In the course .of his. travels on the continent of Europe, he becameacquainted with 1fr. Robinson and united with the church under hispastoral charge. He joined the Pilgrims at Leyden with bis wife,Elizabeth, Wll0 died ~Iarch 24, 1621. Their t,vo children, Edward andJohn, died early.

Extract fr01n the Records of St. Peter's Chu·rch at Droitw·ich.

"1595, Oct. 20th, baptised Edward; son of Edward Winslow, bornthe previous Friday', which was the 19th. His mother's name,Magdalen, married 1594."

Edward Winslow, on the 12th of ~Iay, 1621, married Susanna, thewidow of William "'hite, and the mother of Peregrin White, the firstEnglish child born in New England. The marriage was the firstsolemnized in New England.

A grant· of land was made to Edward Winslow· in 1637. Heremoved to his estate at Green Harbor, 1636-37. On this he erecteda handsome residellce in a northeast.erly direction not far from thepresent Winslow house in Marshfield. The one now standing was built

•by Hon. Isaac Winslow, his grandson. Gov. 'Vilislow's domain orplace was called Careswell, from a family seat of his ancestors inEngland.

In Speed's "Great Britain," Careswell is named as one of thethirteen castles in Staffordshire, and Boyen Univ. Geog. 1 Vol. 225,places Careswell among the chief seats of the nobility of the conntry.

"Mr. \Vinslow was the third signer of the celebrated contractsubscribed in the cabin of tIle 1lfayflower, 11th of November, 1620. Aninstrument establishing a principle which is the foundation of allthe democratic institutions of Anlerica. He appears to have been aneducated and an accomplished mall. .

.He was one of those who in the little shallop or pinnace, Inade theadventurous and perilons examinations of the coasts and bays of theCape, and one of the first who came on shore to seek out the nl0st'~ligible place for founding a settlement in this then wild a.nd un1.-.onownland. In all the initiatory labors for establishing their little colony,the nucleus of a great nation, he was ever active and influential.Possessing a sound and well disciplined mind, a pious heart, and ahappy address, be was eminently useful in mitigating the sufferings,and in promoting the welfare of the Pilgrims, who on aCCOl1nt of theexcellent qualities of his mind and heart appe·ar to have regarded himwith more than ordinary respect, with a confidence which wascertainly never misplaced. • «: :I: •

":l:The brief and compl'ellensive instrument subscribed in the cabinof the ~{ayflower is, beyond dispute, tIle establisl1ment of the principlethat the will of the majority sha.ll govern. In the formation of the lawsof New Plymoutll, regard was had primarily and principally to theancient platform of Goel '8 law. At first, they had some doubt concern­ing tllcir right to inflict capital punishment. A murder whichhappened in 1630, Illade it necessary to decide the question. It wasdecided by Divine Law against sIledding human blood, which wasdeemed indispensable. In 1636 their code of laws was revised andcapital crimes were enumerated and defined.

Gov. Winslow was a man of extensive influence in the Colony,being agent for the sanle at the Court of England in 1623, 1624, 164:4and 1655.

In tIle Massachusetts historical collection are found E. Winslow'sRelation, entitled Good News From New England-E. Winslow's BriefNarrative of the true grounds or first cause of the first planting of NewEngland-E. Winslow's Relation of his visit to }'Iassasoit, etc. Whilein England, he cnlployed his interest with the lllembers of Parliament,and obtained an act incorporating a Society for propagating of theGospel in New England.

Edward Winslow returned in the ship Charity from England,March 1624, having been absent six months, bringing a good supplyof CIOtlling and other necessaries, a.nd what ,vas of more value thanany other supply, tIle first neat cattle ever brought to the colony.Edward Winslow was an assistant in the Colonial Government severalyears, and was Govenlor in 1633, 1636 and 1644. In 1643 he ,ventto Boston as one of tl1e Commissioners from Plylno'lth, where articlesof Confederation were drawn up and signed on the 19th of }'Iay.Features of this Confederacy are described as the prototype of theAmerican Union in Pitkin's History of the United States.

*"After Bradford or Bradford anc1 Brewster, the ~'irst Colonyowed to no man so much as to Edward Winslow. Always intelligent,generous, confident, and inc1efatigalJle, he was undoubtingly trusted for .any service at home or abroad, which tIle occasions of an infant settle­luent happened to require. Were the northeastern fishermen to besought for a supply of food in a famine, or was the Indian Chief, whosecapriciollS mood needed watching, to be looked up in his forest solitude,or the Governor's place to be taken that the regular incumbent mighthave· some rest, or ~lassachusetts be dissuaded from too severeausterit.y, or finally, were the rulers of affairs in Ne,v England to bemade propitious, the natural resort was to the agency of 'Vinslow. Forforeign employulent, his better birth and breeding gave hill1 adYantages

. over his fellow enligrants. .A..mong the gentlen1ell of the British Parlia­ment, Winslow moyed as one of themselYes; and his address andwinning qualities, no less than his sagacity and diligence, justified thechoice ,vhich, when he went abroad for the last time, the lal:ger Colonyoverlooked her own Statesmen to make. That "Tinthrop, by hissympathy of character, was so capable of estimating Ilim, was o~ thatoccasion the good fortune of J\Iassachusetts. Bradford g-rieyouslymissed from his side partner of his early struggles." (Bradford 444).

Cromwell saw at once the worth of the honest, religious, capable,strenuous envoy for 'North America, and took care never to lose his

.services while he lived: which was for nine years after he left Plymouthfor the last time. Now, that Bradford was old, Plymouth could nothave sustained a greater loss, but it was delayed "till Plymouth hathset upon a secure foundation."

t:The portrait of Gov. Winslow, the only original one of the signersof the cOlnpact, is in one of the rooms of the Massachusetts HistoricalSociety, with others of the male line in direct desceut, and from whichall in this volume are copied. It was sent to the Historical Society bythe Whitmans and Isaac Winslow of Hingham, inheritors of the same!'

Two interesting letters of Winslow's, written from BarbadoesMarch 16-30, in 1654-5, are preserved in Thurlow's State Papers, Vol.3: pp. 249, 325.

In the first, his opinions of oaths are thus expressed: "Our wantof comnlissioners is very great 4: * :I: I beseech you in case any besent, let us llave men of SUCll principles as will neither scruple to givenor to take an oath. For my part, I look upon an oath as an ordinanceof God, and as an essential part of government, the very bond ofsociety, yea, so necessary as without it the magistrate will not be ableto detenniue between man and man."

Your large lett.er I prize, and as I thank you for your great painsso I cannot but sympathize with you in these ungrateful requitals youreceive at the hands of some from whom you had better deserved; butI know you serve not man alone in what you do, and hope you havecomfort between God and yourself in the greatest discomforts you heremeet with. I thank God I have tasted of the same cup, and though itwere bitter in the mouth, yet my own impatiency hath more troubledand grieved my spirit, upon cool deliberation than all the rest. Ibeseech God to give you such a measure of spiritual strength andwisdom under the present temptation as to carry you more coy;nfortablyon; and then, when these storms are blown over, the calm will be morecomfortable to you, and your adversaries more ashamed of their tur­bulent courses wInch the Lord in much mercy grant, and I doubt not tosee, if the Lord spare us life, in a short time. I have been ill since ourCourt till this present,though now at Plymouth; whither I hastened assoon' as God gave strength, because of some dist.ractions I heard ofamongst them upon their remoyal; where I find things better than Iheard, and see no likelihood of the churches' departure at present,though they have given way to some unsettled bretheren to go into thebottom of the Bay of Cape Cod.

I write nothing to you about the determination of our Courtconcerning the beaver trade, because I have written to the Commis­sioners largely there about, and trust tlley will see cause to desist,assuring myself otherwise they will repent too late. As far as theNarragansett's, etc., if there be occasion I shall willingly come overupon notice, and have the passages in particular., in writing as theywere agitated at· Hartford, which I shall endeavor to preserve; for Itook their several allegations and defences.

Thus with my due respects to yourself and wife and all YOlirsand theirs, saluting you and them in our Common Saviour, .and desiringmy salutations and due respect~ may be tendered to your Governor and1\fr. Dudley, and others, my known friends, take leave and remain

Yours as his owne

Governor Winslow was highly esteemed at the Court of Cromwelland was appointed by him one of the Commissioners to detennine thevalue of the English ship seized and destroyed by the King of Denmark,and for ,vhich restitution was to be made according to the Treaty ofPeace Inade with the Protector, April 5, 1654.

When Oliver planned an expedition in 165~ against the Spaniardsin the West Indies, he appointed Edward Winslow first Commissionerof the Commonwea1th to superintend the expedition. The original.Commission from the Protector is in Pilgrim. Hall, Plymouth, Mass.

In the passage between Hispaniola and Jamaica, he was seizedwith fever and died 8th of ~Iay, 1655, in the 61.st ye"ar of his age. Hisbody was committed to the deep, with the honors of war, forty-twoguns being fired by the fleet. .

The following well meant, but inelegant verse, was written by oneof the passengers on board of the ship:

"The eighth of ~Iay, ,\~est from 'Spaniola's shore,God took from us our Grand CODlmissioner.Winslo\v by name; a luan in chief~st trust,Whose life ,vas sweet, and conversation just,Whose parts and ,visdolll most Inen did excel,An honor to his place as all can tell. ' ,

PORTRAITS OF' THE 'VINSLOW FAMILY

The portrait in the Massachusetts Historical Society is an original,painted in London in the year 1651 (A. D. 1651 JEtatis sue 57), when hewas agent for the Colony of Plymouth in England, as was also that ofhis son Josiah Winslow, who was with him. They have been ascribed

. to Vandyke but there is no existing proof.Edward Winslow was the eldest of a family of fiye sons and two

daughters, the children of Edward 'Vinslow and Magdalen of Droit­wich, England.

Edward was born 19th of October, 1595John " " 15th of April, 1597Eleanor" " April, 1598I(enelm . " " April, 1599Gilbert "" October, 1600Elizabeth"" MarcIl, 1602Magdalen"" December, 1603J osias "" February, -1605

All of the brothers came to New England. Of the sisters of Gov.Winslow, Elizabeth died January, 1604. Neither of them ever came tothis country. .

His widow, Susanna Winslow, survived him until 1680.Their children at his decease were Josiah, born in 1629, and

Elizabeth, who married first Jtrlnl Brooke and second Capt. GeorgeCorwin of Salem, :rvrass.

The children of George Corwin and Elizabeth Winslow were:

Penelope, born 1670, lllarried J osiah Walcott.Susanna, born 1682, married first Edw. Lyude, second Benj.

\Vadsworth.

The record of George Corwin, who married Elizabet.h, daughter ofEdward \Vinslow and sister of Gov. Winslow, and thus into the line ofthe Winslows, is as follows:

·"George Corwin was born the 10th of December, 1616, and diedat Salem, ~Iass., Jan. 3d, .1685. His first wife was Elizabeth HerbertWhite of Northampton, England. His second wife was ElizabethBrooke, widow of John Brooke, and daughter of Gov. Winslow ofPlymouth Colony.

George Corwin was often charged with the highest public trusts,and was connected by marriage with many leading families. At hisdeath he left one of the largest estates ever adlninistered upon in theColon).... ·By the early death of his descendants of the third generation,the children of the fourth were all left orphans in extreme infancy.One of these, Bartholomew, was twenty-five ):'"ears old at the death ofJonathan, the survivor of the second generation. He moved with hisiamily to Ainswell, New Jersey, and all traditions he may have receivedfrom relatives were thereby lost to those who reluained in Salem. Hisportrait is preseryed and is now in possession of George Corwin, Esq.,of Salem."

A genealogical account of the family may be seen in the GilesMemorial, published by John Adams Vinton, Boston, 1864. Theengraving in wax of arms upon the seal ring, formerly used by theCorwins of Salem, was in existence as late as 1802.

Josiah 'Vinslow, the fifth Governor of the Colony of New Plymouth,,\\"a8 the son of G·ov. Edward 'Vinslow and Susanna White, who wereluarried iIi 1621. He was born at lvlarshfield in the year 1629. Hemarried Penelope Pelhalll, daughter of Herbert Pelham, Esq., ofBoston. His portrait in the Cabinet of the 1\Iass. Historical Societywas taken in London in 1651, ,vhen there with his father; the portraitsof father and son by the saUle artist. He was the first native of thecountry who held the office of Governor, and bas been called "the mostaccomplished man of his day in New England."

1\tlr. Winslow was introduced into public life at a yery early age.In 1653, probably as soon as he was eligible to the post, he was chosen.one of the deputies to the General Court from the settlement atMarshfield, and ~as elected to the same trust in several subsequent:years. Four years afterwards, in 1657, he was appointed to a stillmore responsible station in the existing state of the COlOll)~ to thatof Major or Chief ~Iilitary Conlmander of the Colony, a post hithertobeld by the war-like ~Iiles Standish. He was first chosen' one of theCommissioners from Plymouth Colony under the" Confederation in 1658and was re-elected annually for thirteen consecutive years. In all the

. deliberations of the Commissioners, after he became a nlemher of thatlaody, }'fr. Winslo,v bore a conspicuous part and exercised a salutaryinfluence. It was an age"of severe religious discipline. The tolera­tion of any sect but one's own was almost universally considered atthat tilne heretical, and as sul)mersive of all religious faiths and dis­cipline and dangerous to the commlmity. The persecuted had in turnbecome the persecutors.

The laws against anti-Baptists, and n~ore especially those againstQuakers, not tllen as orderly a people as at present, were severe in theextreme and were executed to t.Ile very letter.

It should be Dlentioned as a circnnlstance, honorahle to the char­acter of Governor Winslow that he opposed these rigorous measures

adopted in New PI~outh against the Quakers. When tIle C.ommis­sioners of the United Colony, in 1658, exasperated by the obstinacyand. violence of the new sect, issued to the several colonies the recom­mendation that they should be put to death "unless they publiclyrenounced their cursed errors," he had the Dloral courage to opposet.he horrible edict, and he did oppose it in every form.

It is not often that public men have the n~rve to stand up inopposition to the great body of the people whom they serve; lessoften are they found to possess the strength of character and capacitynecessary to enable them to stem the torrent of a general public delu­sion; but Mr. Winslow's pO!Jularity was such that he was enabled tosustain himself in the attitude he had assumed.

He was in advance of the times; and people soon began to see it,so that, in the end, when popular delusion had passed away, he wasmore ~dmired and his influence becallle the stronger for his firmnessin maintaining his opiniQn.

For some years previous to 1675, the people of the Colony hadlived in harmony ,,-ith their Indian neighbors. The treaty of 1621had been scrupulously observed with 1fassasoit, and, while he lived,the Indians were fait4ful to his promises. In a letter ,vrit.ten byJosiah Winslow under date May 1st, 1676, he says: "I think I canclearly say, that, before these troubles broke ·out, ,,"'e, the English,did not possess one foot of land in this Colony but what was fairlyobtained by honest purchase of the Indian proprietors. 'Ve .firstmade a law that none should purchase or receive by gift, any· land ofthe Indians, without the knowledge of our Court; and, lest they shouldbe straitened, we ordered that 1ft. IIope, Pocasset, and several othernecks of the best land of the Colony, because the most suitable forthem and most convenient, should never be bought out of their hands."

After the death of l\Iassasoit, his son and successor, Alexander,\vho was understood to be conspiring "..ith the Narragansetts againstthe English, was sumul0ned before the Governor and Council atPlylllouth, to answer to the charge, he had leave to depart, on leavinghis son as a hostage, but he died before reaching home.

~fetacolnet, of Pokanoket, better kno\vn as l{ing Philip, succeededhis brother Alexallder. He affected to rene,v the treatjT of peace, butlie ,vas at the saIne time secretly meditating the oyerthrov,l' of theEnglish. Far nl0re intelligent than most of his race, he beheld ,vith

.14

dismay the tokens which announced the failing fortunes of his coun­try. He saw his people wasting and that they must ultimately becomeextinct. Active war commenced in June, 1676. Philip, believing thatnothing short of the destruction of the English would secure theIndians from total rnin, exerted his utmost energy in prosecuting a"yar of extermination. .

There was scarcely an English f~y that did not suffer in theloss of relatives, or the destruction of property. The approach ofthe enemy was noiseless, like "the pestilence that walketh in dark­ness," and a dwelling wrapped in flames, or a family barbarouslymurdered, and scalped, were often the first intimations of theirpresence.

Gov. Winslow was appointed commander-in-chief of all the forces.He was well qualified for this important trust by bra,Tery and ability,tempered with prudence and discretion. The details of the war area matter of history.

Philip foresaw the loss of his territory, and the extinction of histribe; and made one mighty effort to prevent these calamities. Hefell, and his fall contributed to the rise and progress of the UnitedStates. The fall of Philip was then considered as the extinction ofa virulent and implacable enemy. It is now vie,ved as the fall of agreat warrior. A penetrating statesman, and a ,mighty prince, itt.hen excited universal joy and congratulation, as a prelude to the.close of a merciless war. It now awakened sober reflection oil theinstability of Empire, the pec~iar destiny of the aboriginal race, andthe inscrutable decrees of heaven.

If it can be said that anyone was fortunate it can be truly saidof the second Gov. Winslow.

His whole life was passed during the existence of the Colony ofwhich he was a meluber and a native. He knew no other country.He died while it was independent, and before its extinction was appre­hended as a separate existence of the Old Colony.

•" The early Colonists, when they looked into tIleir situation, musthave always felt a deep apprehension of possible evils, a sense ofinsecurity, an anticipation of the desolation and blood-shed of anIndian War. At the tiIne of his death the question was settled; theaboriginals were conquered, and such as relnained in tIle vicinity ofthe English were beginning to be objects of commiseration ratherthan of terror.

15

· "In the accomplishment of this great work, Gov. "\Vinslow had beena principal and triumphant actor. Civic honors awaited him in hisearliest youth. He presided over the Legislative, Executive andJudicial Department of the Government, and reached every elevationthat could be obtained. Mild and tolerant himself, he witnessed withregret the movements of that fierce spirit which was blind to thewisdom of Cud\vorth, Robinson, ana others; and he had the addressto restore them to the confidence of the people at a period when, thecurse of the ~ge, the spirit of religions bigotry, was 'maddened byopposition, and armed with conscious power.

"Persevering, frank, bold and resolute, he encountered the hazardsQf popular prejudice and displeasure with the same fearlessness thathe did the alllbushes and bullets of the savages, and he ,,'"as successful.

"Gov. 'Vinslow lived on 11is aDIple paternal estate at }.Iarshfield,and his hospitality was not only generous, but (according to thenotion's of his age), magnificent. In addition to his luilitary and civicdistinctions he had acquired that of being the most accomplished gen­tleman and the nlost delightful companion in the Colony; and theattractions of the social board at Careswell was heightened by thecharms of his beautiful wife.

"Such was the heart, and such the spirit that aniInated the feebleframe of Josiah "\Vinslow. His health, never good, ,vas much impairedby fatigue and exposure in the Narragansett can1paign. After thewar was over, he rapidly declined, and he sank into his grave at tllea.ge of 51, in the fulness of his 110no1's and his nlental faculties, unsub­dued by disease and uniulpaired hy age. Gov. 'Vinslo,\v died on the18th of December, 1680, in t.he 52d year of his age. 'rhe expenses ofllis funeral were directed to be paid froln the public t.reasury in t.esti­mony of the Colony's endeared loye and respect for hilli."

HERBERT PELHAM, HIS AXCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS

In tbe seventh yolun1e of the fourth series of the collections of theMassachuset.ts Historical" Society, we find Herbert Pelhanl using a seal,,,,it.h t.lle arms of the Pelhams of Sussex; Dalllely: Azure, three Pelicans,argant, pluming themselves, ppr.

No satisfactory account of ]lis ancestry and descendants can beread in any work alld we have undertaken to put together from varioussources a more complete pedigree than has yet been l)rinted. Thefaulily is traced back to \Valter de Pelhanl, in Hertforc1shire, who diedin 1292, seized of tIle manors of Hertfordshire, Cott.enhaln in I{ellt, andTwinstead in Essex, and left two sons, 'Villianl and 'Valter."ralter, the second son ~vas heir to llis brother, who died withoutchildren. He obtained land in Sussex, and left a son and lleir, who,vas liying in 1342, and ,,"ho left a SOD, ,Tohn de Pelham.

This John was a person of great fame in the reign of Ec1\\ard IIIand was present at the battle of Poitiers in 1356. lIe aftcr\vards re­ceiyed the honor of Knighthood, and, b~'" llis marriage with Joan,daugllter of 'Tincent I-Ierbert, alias Ji'ink, left his son his o,v"n nalne.

John de Pelham, who was no less fUlnous than his father, being­for a long tune in the service of Henry Bolingbroke, afterwardsIIenry I\T. In 1399 and afterwards, he ,vas in Parliament for theCounty of Sussex and was created Knight of the Bath. In 1400 he ,vasappointed Constable of the Castle of Beversey; and, in 1401 lle wasSheriff of the Sussex. He died in 1429, full of honor, llaving been intllC highest favor and the Dlost honorable enlploynlent under t\VO ofthe greatest monarclJs of the reahn, who were famed for their courage

21

and all manly virtues, and raised the glory of the English nation tosuch a degree as could never be forgot; so that it must be owing tosome uncommon degree of self-denial that he was not 'ranked amongthe Peers. He had married Joan, daughter of Sir John Exures, andleft an only son, John, and daughters Agnes and Joan.

His son, Sir John de Pelham, was. also in the Frenell wars ofHenry V and in 1415 was, by his father appointed Constable of Pever­sey Castle. . He was chamberlain of the Household of Queen Cather­ine, widow of Henry V. He married Joan de Courcey, by whom hehad three sons, John, William and Thomas and three daughters,Catharine, Cicely and Joan. He died in 1448 and ,vas succeeded byhis eldest son, but as both John and his next brother 'Villiam diedwithout male issue, Thomas, the third son became eventual heir, ob­taining the manors o~ Laughton, Crewhurst, etc., in addition to Bux­stead, where he lived.

"This Thomas died in 1516, having 11ad by his wife, Margaret, foursons and two daughters:

John, who died childless before Ilis father.Thomas who died unmarried.William, ancestor of the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Chichestor

and the Earl of Yarborough, and A.nthony.The daughters were Catherine and Joan.From the New England Historical Genealogy Register, July '1879,

reference is made by Joseph Chester, LL. D., to a ricllly emblazonedparchment roll in the possession of an aged maiden lady of CastleCary, Sornersetshire, Eng., compiled by her ancestor, Samuel Bennett,Esq., of Sheptoll 1\Iallet. Sanluel Bennett's wife "as grand-daughterof Rev. James .A.shton and Catherine his wife, who was a sister ofIIerbert Pelham. As he bad access to family records and parish reg-isters, we quote freely his dat.es, etc. .

Anth9ny Pelhanl was the fourth and YOlmgest son of Thomas Pel­ham of Laughton Co. Suffolk. (Son and finally heir of Sir John Pel­ham Knight.) l\farried ~rargaret, ,vhose maiden name was Hall whowas widow of Thomas Pierce, with a son Thomas Pierce with whomwas exchanged the mansion of .Bukstepe, for other property which wasthe inheritance of his lllother, and resided (it still exists as a farmhouse "Bukstepe") on his seat at Bul~stepc, in tlle parish l\Iarbleion.His ,vife, J\Iargaret, was buried at l\farbleton, on the 9th of December,

22

1560; they had two children, Herbert Pelham, and Ann, who becamethe wife of William }'forley or Glynde, in Sussex, whose line terminatedin heiresses of the second generation. Anthony Pelham made his willon the 5th of April, 1563, describing himself as a Bukstepe, in theparish of :hlarbleton. It was proved 26th of February, 1566/7 in thePrerogative Court of Canterbury by Herbert Pelham, son of the testa­tor, the executor named. The following is an abstract of it:

To the poor of Marbleton and Dallington, 30 pounds sterling, myoyerseers, namelr, my son-in-law, William ~forley, my cousin J oImLa Lansford, and Barnard R·alldall to have the use of my personalityduring the minority of Herbert my son, for the purchase of lands forhim when 21 years of age. ~Iy manors, lands, and tenements in thecounties of Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Dorset, Lincoln, Northumberlandand York, or elsewhere, to my said overseers until my said son, Her­bert, b~ of age. To Thomas Pierce, my late wife's eldest SOD, cer­tain lands, etc., in Westfield, and Ore Co. Sussex in lieu of my houseand ~ands where I now dwell, called Bukstepe his inheritance. Ifmy son, Herbert, die without issue, then Bukestepe to go to saidThomas Pierce, and all my other lands to my nephew, John Pelham,(JolIn Pelham died without issue) and the heirs of his body, male,with remainder to lleirs, male, of the body of his father, Sir NicholasPelham, I{t., renlainder to my right heirs, my son Herbert to be mysole executor.

Herbert Pelham had barely attained his majority when he provedhis father's will and hence was born in 1546. .He was twice marriedand by both wives.llad thirteen children.

His first wife was I{atherine, daughter of John Thatcl1er, Esq. ofPriesthawes in the Parish of Westham, Co. of Sussex, and his wife,~fargaret, daughter of Goddard Oxenbric1ge, I(t. By her he had onedaughter and two sons. l\Iargaret, who married Sir Thomas Palmerof 'Vinghanl Co. Kent, I{night, and was nl0ther, among other childrenof Herbert Palmer, the celebrated ~faster of Queen '8 College, Cam-bridge. .

Shewas born 11th Sept. 1573, and baptised at 'Vherwell, her sponsorsbeing Queen Elizabeth herself, the Countess of Lincoln and the Earlof Leicester. She was married at 'Vherwell to IIerbert Pellulnl, 12thFeb. 1593, being then only 20, while her husband was about 48 yrs.of age. Their children, three of wllom died in infancy, born 1594/5/6.

Helenor, third daughter, lived till twenty years old. She had a·black pudding arm, "quoted verbatim."

Penelope, the fourth daughter, married Gov. Richard Bellingham,of Mass., New England. She survived her husband nearly 30 years.Her age 16 at the time of her emigration in 1635.

Elizabeth, youngest daughter, lived with her sister at Boston,New England. It was probably she, and not her brother's secondwife, who, according to Savage, in 1706 was buried at j\{arshfield.

Two daughters, Anna, buried in Boston, Eng., Co. Lincoln, 1622,and Martha, buried in 1624. .

It seems probable that all these children went with their fatherto New England, and that when he finally returned to England, heleft behind 11im only Nathaniel and Penelope. The last years of hislife were spent in Lincolnshire. lIe had inherited from his fatherthe manor of Swineshead.

Herbert Pelham, son of Herbert Pelham, was born in 1600. Themarriage license granted by the Bishop of London describes HerbertPelham of Boston, County of Lincoln, a Squire, a bachelor, about 26,to Jemima "TaldegraYe, spinster, about 20, daughter of Thos. 'Valde­grave, of Bures, ad monten, in Essex, with whom he obt.ained thelIanor of Ferress in Bures, Hamlet. Her mother was Elizabeth,daughter of R,obert Gordon, of Assinton, t.hrough whom Herbert Pel­ham was cousin to Richard Saltonstall. He was doubly but distantlyconnected with John Winthrop, through the \ValdegraYes and Clop­tons, and through the Gordons and 1\Iildmays.

By his wife he had: .

Waldegrave, baptized 1627.Penelope, born and baptized 1633, and married in New England in

1657 Josiah '~Vinslow,only son of Gov. Edward 'Vinslow and afterwardshimself Governor. They lived in !Iarshfield, where she was buried Dec.7, 1703.

Jemima, eldest daughter, married 1653, Rev. Samuel I{en, B. D.,Rector of Albury, near ,Oxford. She lived but a few years, and wasburied at her father's church in the cllal1cel of Bures in Suffolk. Shedied without children.

Nathaniel Pelham, 163], graduated at Harvard College, 1651,died 1657 in New England.

Catherine, married a ~Ir. Clark, and was mentioned in the will.

Herbert Pelham's first wife being dead, he. came to New Englandin 1638 and settled at Cambridge. His second wife was Elizabeth,danghter of Godfrey Bosseville, of Gunthwaite in Yorkshire, widowof Roger Harlakenven, who had died in New England in Nov. 1638,leaving her with two danghters, Elizabeth and ~{argaret. By hissecond wife he had:

Edward, graduated at Harvard College, 1643, and died 1730.Mary, born Nov. 12, 1640, died unmarried.Francis, Bennett's roll says was married in Essex. She was

doubtless the wife of Jeremiah Stonnard.Herbert, born Oct. 3, 1645, and died soon.Annie, died unmarried.Henry Pelham, who appears to have been buried at Bures, in 1699.

His widow took out letters of administration to his estate, 1700. Theyseem' to have had an only son, "\Villiam. His will was proved Feb. 3,1714. He left t,vo young children, Henry and Elizabeth.

Herbert Pelham was Treasurer of Harvard College in 1643, andbecame a freeman of the Colony, and was chosen assistant in 1645. Hereturned to his wife's estate in England in 1647 and was a member ofParliament in 1654. He died before March, 1675, when his will wasadmitted to probate.

By the will of Herbert Pelham he left to his son, Waldegrave,his lands in Sussex, and the ~Ianor of Swineshead in Lincolnshire; to

.-' his son, Edward, his lands at Smith Hall and Chapel Hill, in Lincoln­shire, and all his lands in New England, in the l\-fassachusetts Bay inAmerica, . situate, lying and being in Cambridge, l,Vatertown andSudbury or else\vhere within the said Colony.

To my daughter, the wife of GuthlacTolliot, the cabinet that ,vas her lnother's, alld to her daughter a silvercup. I appoint IllY sou Waldegrave DIy sole execut.or.

Herbert Pelham survived his wife fifteen years, dying at the ageof 73, and was buried at Bures, 1 July, 1674.

Waldegraye Pelham, eldest son of Herbert Pelham, was baptisedat Bures 26th Sept., 1627. lIe was admitted to the Inner Temple in

1647, and married Abagail, daughter of Thomas Glassock, of Heding­ham, Sible, Essex. They lived at a house called Ferriers, near Bures,town in Essex. She was buried at Bures in 1698 and he in 1699.Letters to administer his estat.e were granted to his brother, EdwardPelham. Waldegrave Pelham's children were:

"lTnless there are descendants of Edward Pelham in New England,the male line of Herbert Pelham is probably' extinct.

Edward Pelham, second son of IIerbert Pelham and ElizabethHarlakenden, graduated at Harvard College in 1673. He marriedGodsgift, daughter of Benedict Arnold, Governor of Rhode Island; andlived at Newport. His children were Elizabeth, Edward and Thomas.He married ~'reelove, a second wife, perhaps sister of the first, anddied Sept. 30, 1780.' '*

The following is one of· Herbert Pelham's letters:

Winthrop Papers, Mass. Hist. ColI. VII.Herbert Pelham to John 'Vinthrop.

124 Southward Park Road, London, S. E. England.London, 1\Iay 5, 1647.

Good cousin,

I desire that in any things I could express that love and respectthat lowe unto yourself and family whose affection to me .and mineI have ever found.

I ;know not )·et, when my occasions will give liberty to havethoughts of returning as I unwillingly departed from you, for I knowno place where I nlore desire to be than amongst yourselyes, but wehave not the disposing of our time, nor the appointing of the boundsof our habitation. ~rhe Lord hath been very good to us ever since weleft you to this day. My wife only hath been some time vcry ill butis now in good health.

Your old friends at ..A.ssington Hall were in good health not longsince; the old man looks very well. You will understand more by mycousin Saltonstall. Very many of Bures are dead since I was inEngland, but the most of them, enemies to goodness, that there isscarce left (tbat now lives in the town,) one nlalignant spirit that is ofquality. .

For the business of the country will be more fully illforulec1 by mycousin Winslow, who takes great pains but as yet cannot CaIne to abearing.*

The llouse yesterday sat long and are, as yet, in a great strait,as they have been some years past. I think the· wisest heads in thekingc101TI see more cau~e for serious humiliation in regard to these newapproaching dangers than fonnerly. The anny lnuch ado to bequieted; the I{illgdolll much discontented with the House, and theywith one another.

I have sent t.he printed news to your brother Dudley, "There, ifthere be anything you llave not seen, you may comn1and thenl. TheI..Jord in mercy keep you and yours, and the wllole country in peace. I

"Edward Winslow, having been nppointed for the ~r3s~aehu~etts Colony in Engl311d, hadsailed from Boston about the midille of the December previous. lIe never returned to NewEngland. See Bradford, pp. 441-444.

28

hope you will see every day more and more less cause to repent thatthe door bath not been set so wide open, as some would have had it,for the letting in of such as likely to prove troublers of the peace, bothof churches and Commonwealth.

Thus, with the continuance of prayers, with an earnest desire ofyours for Dle and mine, I rest, and remain

Your loving cousin,

Herbert Pelham.

GEN. JOHN WINSLOW

FOURTH GENERATION

35-3'

GEN. JOHN ~NSLOW

John Winslow, son of Isaac Winslow, and his wife, Sarah Winslow,was born in 1tfarshfieid, 1tfay 10, 170B, and married l\Iary Little in1725, daughter of Capt. Isaac Little of Pembroke, ltlass. .

His portrait in tlle Winslow collection was painted by •JohnSingleton Copley, and is, with others, in the rooms of the Mass. Hist.Societv...

Gen. John Winslow was a distinguished and successful Comlllanderin 1740. He commanded a company in the expedition against Cuba,and afterwards rose to the rank of 1\Iajor General in the British service.

··"In 1755, an expedition was undertaken against Noya Scotia bythe British Government. The boundaries were unsettled, the. Englishclaiming the St. Lawrence, the French restricting them to the Peninsulaof Arcadia.

"The French forts were captured by the Englisll, and the wholeProvince reduced. He conducted the campaign with great skill. Tohim was also entrusted the difficult and ungrateful task of renloving theFrench neutrals, who were all expelled from Noya Scotia.

"The reason of removing these French people was this. At therecovery of Annapolis from the French, the inhabitants were toleratedt.o continue there, by. taking the oat.h of allegiance to Great Britain, solong as they did not assist the French against the EngEs1); but theysoon violated and denounced their oath, and assisted the other Frenchand Indians, in their interest against the English in a treacherousmanner; t.herefore they were expelled and dispossessed and proceededagainst as enemies. .

U A portion of the inhabitants assembled in the church at GrandPre, on the 5th of September at 3 0 'clock P. 1\1. Col. Winslow t.husaddressed them:

* John Singleton Copley attained an eminence as a portrait painter in America, belongingto the descendants of those for whom t.hey were painted. He married :Miss Susan Clark ofBoston in 1769.

" 'That the duty entrusted to him was very disagreeable to hismake and temper, as he knew it must be grievous to them, etc. It wasnot for him, however, to animadvert, but to obey his .orders;' and heproceeded to inform them that their lands and tenements, cattle of allkinds, and livestock of all sorts were forfeited to the Cro,rn, with allother effects saying their money and household goods,and that theywereto be removed from the Province.

"The sufferings of these poor unfortunate people, in the circum­stances of their removal, an<t ~n their sepal~ate and. scattered conditioncannot well be conceived. Col. Winslow in a letter to the Governorof Nova Scotia, dated Grand Pre, Aug. 30, 1755, says:

" As to poor Father LeBlanc, I shall, with your Excellency'spermission, send him to my own place." .

What prevented his coming to Green Harbor does not a.ppear.•" The family who filled the place intended for him, bore the name of

·Mitchell. To tllis faluil)", Gen. Winslow and his descendants ,vere everuniformly kind. A person now living well recollects the last livingmembers of this fanlily and the pensive gentility of their deportment.

The order of the English Goyernment was tllat tIley should bedispersed and sufficiently provided for, and supporteel at the chargeof each Goycrnment where they were sent. They were scattered overthe land, these French people, and their blood courses through the veinsof many respectable families bearing the names both of ~fas·sachusetts

and Connecticut ~ among others are included the names of Drew, Peters,Winslow and Thomas."

Previous to the cODlmencing of the campaign of 1756 againstCrown Point, Gell....~bercrombie sent for Gen. \Vins!ow, and to him wasto have been entrusted an attack on ~riconderoga, which was suspendedby orders of Lord Loudon, in consequence of the disasters at Oswego.

In 1756, he cOlumanded at Fort 'Villiam IIenry, on Lake George;'he was also a Counsellor for the Province.

Gen. Winslow was genial and llospitable, and remarkable for hisskill in horsemanship. He imported a valuable horse from England,and it was among his greatest delights to be mounted on his favoriteanimal.

* M. A. Thomas Memorials of Marshfield.

38

Thatcher relates an anecdote, that, "on a certain occasion, anumber of gentlemen of Plymouth formed a party with Gen. Winslowfor a pleasnre excursion to Saquish in Plymouth Harbor and to returnto dine. While there \V'inslow fell asleep. The other gentlemen with­drew and pursued their journey to return. "Vhen .he awoke and foundhimself deserted, he mounted and daringly plunged his steed in thechannel, swam his horse across more than a half mile, from whence herode into the town, making the whole distance but six miles while hiscompanions were riding fourteen miles. On their arrival, they wereastonished to find the General seated in the Tavern, prepared to greetthem with a bowl of punch. ' , )J.;1- (~[vr.A~.1J~

Gen. Win.slow, late in life, married a widow Johnson. He died in1774, and was placed in the tomb at Marshfield, aged 71. He left twosons by his first wife, ~Iary Little.

Pelham, born in 1737.Isaac, born in 1739. .The town of Winslow, in Maine, was named in honor of Gen.

Winslow, incorporated in 1771.As far as can be obt.ained, genealogical sketches are inserted of

those families who have married into the line of succession of EdwardWinslow.

Gen. John \'7inslow married J\:fary Little. Following is a sketchof her family, copied from M. A. Thomas ~femorials of ~farshfield:

"Thomas I..Jittle was born in Plymouth after 1630, where he marriedAnn, one of the daughters of Ricllard Warren. He was probably alawyer. He renloyed to ~farshfield about 1650, and sett.led in theea.stern part of the townsllip, a locality since l"Uown as Littletown inthe surrounding region. He had eleven children.

"Lieut. Isaac Little, son of Thomas Little and A.nn Warren, pur­chased t.he Biddle Estate, now owned by Waterman Tholnas (on Marsh­

. field Neck). He and his wife Bethia had five children. He died in1712.

"Thomas, born in 1675, graduated at Harvard College in 1695, wasa lawyer and physician at Plymouth."

Capt. Isaac Little, born in 1677, relTIovec1 to Pembroke. Hisdaughter l\Iary Little Inarried Gen. J 01111 Winslow of l\farshfield in1725. Her brother Isaac owned the est.ate in Penlbroke. After himhis son Isaac and DOW his SOll, Otis Little. l\fary Little '8 brother's

39

daughter, Judith '5 grandson, William Rogers, married her great,great grandQhild Helen 1\1. 'VhitnIan.

Thus far, t}le lives in this line have been brought together andarranged, as events and history have Dlade the record.

The valuable works of l\Ioore's American Governors, Young'sChronicles of the Pilgrims, and M. A. Thomas ~lenlorialsof ~farshfield,

have been largely dra'\\~ upon, together with the volumes of the 1\Iass.Hist. Society. ~rhese refer back again to Davis, 1\{orton, Thatcher,Baylies and Savage, those valuable men whose indefatigable researchhas saved this kno,,·leclge fronl the.wreck of time.

The period of 1758, and onward, was one of great agitation. Wisemen, in view of t.he situation, felt disheartened. The result of thestruggle, in the independence of the Colonies, and tIle establishnlentof the great republic, was to Inen's minds then, and is even now, amiracle. But, the thoughtful, the philosophic, see in it the evidenceand tlle consequences of the invariable and eternal laws of cause andeffect. The Pilgrims planted in faith; their deeds, eyen when weakand insignificant, were eyer with an inspiration t.o the infinite wisdomfor guidance, and then, as now, as t.hrough all ages, the answer COlliesback to nlan's higller and his lo\ver nature, "Ask and ye shall receiYe,"for ""Whatsoever a man sowelll, that shall he also reap;" and nlay wenot feel that t.he wonderful preservation of this Nation is the answerto the Pilgrim '8 prayer and trust?

Isaac Winslow, second son of Gen. John Winslow, and 11is wife,Mary Little, was born in Marshfield, "April 27, 1739. lIe marriedElizabeth~ daughter of Benj. Stockbridge of Scituate, and lived at theWinslow Homestead.

He was a skilful physician o~ large practice; which in those daysinvolved much of personal discolufort and hardship. Like his father,he was skilful in horsemanship. His travel, often in thick darkness,through unbroken pat.hs, sometimes obliged to resort to snowshoes, waslightened by his elastic and facetious temperament.

He enlivened his hospitable home, in his relation and perceptionof the comic side of life, in his varied and wide experience. That largeestate, that home with its portraits, its many relics and associations,is yet clear and vivid ill the memory of these of the seventh generation.His portrait, which is in the collection of Winslow portraits, in theMass. Hist. Soc., was painted by J olmson. His wife Elizabeth died1790, and was placed in the tomb. He married a second time Fa~ie,

daughter of Rev. Edwin Ga)T of Hingham, called by a member of thehousehold "The Good Samaritan". She never had children.

Dr. Isaac "Tinslow died Oct. 19, 1819. The scene was impressive,when the long procession of friends, in "carriages from every part ofthe country, were seen winding their way up the hillside to witness hisd~posit in the tomb of his ancestors, and to testify their affection andrespect. His widow died October, 1846, aged 83 years.

Elizabeth Stockbridge, who married Dr. Isaac Winslow, was thedaughter of Dr. Benj. Stockbridge of Scituate and his wife Ruth Otis.She was born 1vfarch 17, 1738. On her marriage she removed to l\farsh­field, where her penetrating eye and great practical ability assisted llerhusband, ,vhose profession absorbed his time, in bringing into order thedisturbed affairs of the estate. ITer household skill (whose rules areyet remernbered) contributed to the comfort of the lnany of the house­hold who shared its hospitality. The peculiar significance of many ofher words and expressions passed away with the last generation an4its habits. In parting with these custo~s and interchanges of expres­sion, we lose one of the most refining influences of society.

·"Dr. Benj. Stockbridge succeeded his fat4er Benjamin, whomarried l\fary Tilden in 1701, and who owned the original Stockbridgemansion and mills. It was a garrison in Philip's \Var. He was indirect descent from John Stockbridge, who took the oath of fidelity inScituate, 1638, and was one of the Conihansett partners, 1646. He waseducated under Dr. Bulfinch of Boston, and there is evidence that. hewas one of the great physicians of the day. His account books exhibitthat he was a consulting physician in a circle embracing the full countryfrom Falmouth to Worcester,. and to Ipswich."

He is described as a gentleman of wit and taste, eminentlypleasing, and the delight of literary society. He had made attainmentsin the science of music rare at that time. He married Ruth Otis,daughter of Job Otis, and left two children, Charles and Elizabeth.

Dr. Charles Stockbridge, son of Dr. Benjanlin, attained a highreputation. Like his father, he 'was pleasing in his manners, andaccomplished in all literature and tasteful arts, with the rare qualifica­tion (asserted by one who experienced it) of the capacity for and theexpression of warm, pure, disinterested friendship. He luarriedEleanor and deceased· leaving :five children, all born inthe mansion at Scituate:

THE TOMB OF OUR SIRES

Written by John \Vinslow Whitman in 1818

Have you ne'er kno,vn an hour when feeling prevailed,When a sigh, ill-sustained, burst its prism of sorrQ'v,

'Vhen the short race of man you've vainly bc,vailed,And forgot the bright day of eternity's morro,v T

When the sunshine of life ,vas darken'd by sadness,And the breast, weigh'd ,vith grief, with languor respires,

An hour ,,"hen reason is struggling ,vith madness,And, burdened, lve lean o'er the tomb of our Sires.

Their eagle wing'd fame, in the tented field plumed,Like the meteor far, o'er the firnlament soared,

And the body, which now in the dust lies entombed,The ,var horse has borne where the cannon loud roared.

But the voice, once the chief, in the battle's thick fray,The eye, flaming terror, hath no,v ceased its fires,

While time's crumbling tower is mouldering a,vay,The remnant enclosed, in the tomb of our Sires.

Ho,v vain is the ""ish which ,vonld call from the graveThe face ,vhieh the monlunent hides froln our sight,

For ,vhat! though to slumber death consigns the brave,Their spirits have soared to the regions of light.

Tbis scene of commotion, this life lease of painGives no scope for the range of human desires.

Then ,vhy should ,ve wish to can back againThese heroes who sleep in the tomb of our Sires!

Ye worthies, departed; your forms we shall view,When ,ve cllant the loud pcaens in heavenly choirs,

Then, all sadness ,yin yield to rapture's bright hue,For the portal of bliss is the tomb of our Sires.

This collection of the genealogical biographies in the line of G·ov.Edward Winslow is closed with extracts from addresses before the NewEngland Society, in the city of New York, Dec. 22, 1874.

From the address b)" Hon. 'Villiam T. Davis of PI:rmoutb.

1111". President:

"I am here tonight in person to express to you in words the deepinterest which we, who live around the Rock, feel, in association gath­ered, with the view of keeping alive the memory and example of thePilgrim F'athers.

"Last night I stood on the s.hores of Plymouth, and since that timemy experience has suggested to my mind the striking epitome of theJlistory and growth of this great nation, whose seed-vessel was theMayflower; which, like the down of the thistle, was wafted across the.sea, and dropped its seed on these western shores. Within these fewhours, my feet have pressed the sands once trod by Pilgrim feet. I lla,"etravelled on what would have seemed to be the wings of the wind to'\Vinslow, journeying thirtY" nliles in two da.ys. I have passed one afteranother the New England villages, which, with their churches andschool-houses, mark the successive steps of. the Pilgrim principles ontheir westward march, until, I stand in this great l\fetropolis, the gemand pride of the Nation, the habitation of whose people extend fromsea to sea.

"Look at the Pilgrims crossing the seas. Eyen there, in sunshineand in storm following Divine guidance, and believing themselyesnearer to God. Look at thenl, kneeling on the shores of Plymouth,pouring out prayers of thankfulness to Almighty Father for theirdeliverance from the perils of the deep, happy at last in his actualpresence. These are pictures painted by the Diyine lIand on the canvasof History, and, if there are any who fail to trace in their coloring theideal graces and yirtues of human life, they might search in vain forinspiration in the galleries of Art, anlong the pictures of Raphael and

231

Guido, Correggio and Frau Angelica; for they would see nothing intheir master-pieces but pigments and oil. We cannot hold these pic­tures too constantly before our Dljnds, or study too closely the lessonsthey teach."

The address of Rev. Dr. Chapin was as follows:

"The Puritans had a great element in their character. They be­lieved in God. It may have been a narrow belief; it may have been anintense belief; but, after all, it is better to have one clear principlethat we can hold on to firmly, than a hundred refracted lights frOID abroad cloudiness; one ray of clear sunlight, to guide us over the mysticsea of life, than all the warnings of the most ingenious fog-signals thatwere ever invented. They saw God.

"But do we ever think enough of the sufferings of the Pilgrims 1 Itell you that no courtly refinements, no cavalier glitter, no mere finenessof manners; nothing but a faith in God enables men to do, and also toendure and to suffer, as the Puritans did, and suffered.

"1 know not what is to cvme to us in the future, or what glories areto be developed in this great land, but I know that they will be hlrgelydeveloped from these two great features of Puritan character: In­tegrity to one's own soul, and faith in God.

".i\.nd if there are men worthy of their splendid privileges in thefuture, men who shall climb the Western slopes, and line the PacificShores, they will ackno'Yledge these as the elements of the Nation'strue life; they will look baq,k, and they will honor and praise the menwho transmitted t.hese. Men who were faithful, men who saw. Godwith open vision; men who, in the march of a great Nation from seato sea, set the first forward foot in the wilderness and the snow."

The copy of t.he Winslow Coat of Arms is here inserted, with theWensley's and all others that could be obtained, of families that hadmarried into the line of succession, together wit11 the different sealsand mottoes.

EXTRACTS FROM HERALDRY

Men, in all ages, have made use of figures of living creatures orsymbolic signs, to denote the bravery and courage, either of their(~hief or nation, to render themselves more terrible to their enemies,and to distinguish themselves as families, as names, as individuals.Thus the Egyptians bore an Ox, the Athenians an Owl, the Goths aBear, tpe ROlnans an Eagle; the Franks a Lion, and the Saxons aHorse. The last is still borne.

Arms or Coats of Arms, are hereditary marks of honor, made upof fixed and determined colors and figures, granted by sovereignprinces as a reward for military valor or some signal service performed.

The Scroll is the ornament usually placed before the Crest, con­taining a motto alluding thereto, or to the bearer or bearer's name.Others a~e symbolical, as "Dieu et mon droit."

No relic is of more importance to the armorist, and on whichgreater reliance can be placed, th~n Seals; for the devices thereonrepresented must always be those actually worn by their possessorsat the time of their employment. Mottoes, though hereditary in thefamilies that take them up, are sometimes changed, on particular occa­sions. "Hasten slowly," is the motto of the Onslow family. Wight­Juan has for a crest a demi-savage, holding over the dexter shouldera club proper. "A "\Vightman neyer wanted a weapon." They are aScotch family.

In achievement of arms, t.he motto is placed before the Shield,unless it bears direct reference to the Crest, then the Dlotto usuallysurrounds the Crest. The use of mottoes is forbidden to ladies; the(~ueen, only, excepted.

THE ORDER OF TIlE GARTER

The ancient and most respectable badge of the most noble Orderof the Garter was instituted b)~ ICing Edward III, 1349, in the twenty-­seventh year of his reign. f).'his honorahle augmentation is a deepblue Garter, bordered with gold and having a buckle golden, and ap­pendages encircling the Shield of Arnls of every Knight. In lettersof the same precious metal it is cllargecl with the motto, "Roni soitqui mal y pense." Iillights wear it below the knee but it encircles theleft arm of Her Majesty. The Pelhanl buckle is worn as a badge," Never cllurge color on color."
