HISTORY  OF  THIS  BOOK. 


In  preparing  tliehtBlocy  of  tihe I>wiglitfaimlj  for  pablieitioiijthe  indMir 
obtained,  in  tnotng  oat  tlimr  firaqnent  intenotrriages  with  the  StrongB, 
so  rnneh  of  the  genealogy  of  thii  large  and  honorable  ftmily,  that,  alter 
mnoh  lefleefcion  on  the  neeesBiry  demands  of  so  great  an  enterprise,  he 
determined  at  last  to  nndertake  also  the  preparation  of  their  family  his- 
tory.  And  this  he  now  offers  first  of  the  two  to  those  interested  in  its 
details,  designing  to  follow  its  publication  soon  with  that  of  his  paternal 
ancestry  and  kindred.  No  one  could  know  but  tor  th-m  Le,  after  five  years 
of  diligent  industry  in  his  previous  endeavor,  what  would  be  the  cost,  ia 
tirae,  patience,  strength  and  ynoney,  of  his  new  effort.  In  liis  history  of 
the  former  family  there  w*  re  oven  in  the  third  generation  but  three 
founders  of  families;  but  with  iho  Strong.s  how  different  1  Elder  John 
Strong  began  the  family  history  with  18  ohildren,  15  of  whom  bad 
fiunilies,  and  88  of  their  children  are  on  record  in  this  book  as  heads  of 
iknulies.  There  were  donbUess  a  doien  more.  From  the  third  geneca- 
tioQ  downwards,  the  antboi^s  task  was  nearly  80  times  greater,  therefore, 
in  tracing  bis  maternal  anoestiy  and  kindred,  than  his  paternal.  When 
first  seriously  meditating  the  vast  attempt,  he  felt,  like  one  standing  on 
the  banks  of  a  wide,  strong  stream  lying  between  him  and  victory,  just 
enon:rh  excited  with  fear  at  the  dimension.^)  of  the  prospect  before  him,  to 
be  ali  the  n)ore  resolved  and  eager  tO  push  into  "  the  aea  of  difficulties/' 
that  spread  everywiiere  in  view. 

By  much  more  time  and  toil  freely  lavished  upon  this  large  field  of 
research,  he  feels  sure  that  many  great  and  satisfying  results  in  various 
direetions,  now  nnattained,  would  be  realised.  But  he  offers  here  gladly 
to  all,  who  haTO  a  oommon  heritage  with  him  in  the  finesge  of  the  Strong 
&mily,  the  large  array  of  faets  which  he  has  been  able  to  procure,  by 
more  than  four  years  of  unswerriug  attention  to  the  work  of  tracing  thmr 
history,  from  its  first  beginnings  in  this  country  to  the  present  hour. 
Much,  if  not  most,  of  the  time,  he  has  given  from  ten  to  twelve  and  thir- 
teen hour?  daily,  not  only  ungrudgingly  but  delightedly,  to  this  great 
effort  and  wholly  at  his  own  charges.  It  has  been  by  a  most  ample  and 
persistent  correspondence,  at  the  rate  much  of  the  time  of  some  2.500 
letters  per  year,  and  by  an  abundant  exploration  of  ilunUy  historiea,  town

histories,  town  records  and  monamcntal  inscriptionSi  tbat  bo  has  been 
enabled  to  construct  the  historical  memoriai  of  the  Strong  family  which, 
is  hero  erected  and  which  will  stand  as  he  hopes  to  the  einl  of  time. 
Hundreds  of  volumes  liavo  boon  ransacked  for  dates  and  details  of  inter- 
est, in  various  public  libraries  in  Boston,  New  York  and  Brooklyn,  und 
in  the  valuable  genealogical  library  of  D.  Williatns  Patterson,  E>4.,  of 
Newark  Valley,  Tiogii  Co.,  N.  Y.,  whoae  libciai  a.iJ  tu  fcllow-uxplorcrs  is 
only  surpa^d  by  his  own  unbounded  enthusiasm  in  his  own  researches. 
YariooB  towns  in  New  Eugluu J,  especially  in  MasaaohitsettB  and  Connect!' 
cat,  have  been  personally  yiaited  and  searched  thoroughly  for  facts,  aa 
Northampton,  Belchertown,  WilKamsbargh,  Soathampton  and  Westfield, 
Mass.,  and  in  Connecticnt,  Milftwd,  Middletown,  Durham,  Chatham,  Col- 
chester, Lebanon,  Coventry,  Hebron,  Bolton  and  Guilford.  To  hundreds 
of  postmasters,  town-clerks,  clergymen,  and  men  of  antiquarian  lore,  all 
over  the  Innd,  thanks  are  due  for  the  prompt  and  kitnllj  manner,  in 
which  they  have  furni'shiMl  jjrcat  nnnibers  of  helpful  items  of  informa- 
tion, which,  tliMUgh  small  in  them.^(.lves,  have  been  of  Inro^e  aj,',2:rt-'g:ite 
value  in  the  end.  Such  u  pile  oi  genealogical  facta  concerning  a  family 
of  such  large  volume  in  its  earlier  years,  and  spreading  almost  without 
limit  over  the  fruitful  fields  of  thi:^  uew  world,  iur  nearly  two  ceuluriea 
and  a  half,  can  no  mora  be  reared  without  the  cooperative  aid  of  mutU- 
tndes  of  willing  hearts  and  hands,  than  the  immense  pyramids  of  Egypt 
themselves.  It  is  not  the  author's  fault  that  the  results  of  his  inqniries 
here  presented  are  not  grander  still.  No  one  who  has  not  attempted 
genealogical  researches  on  a  large  scale  can  have  any  adequate  idea  of 
the  diflBculty  of  obtaining  facts  desired.  At  least  -00  letters  out  of  seve- 
ral thousands,  which  should  have  been  answered  to  the  full,  fell  into  the 
hands  of  those  that  were  either  so  satisfied  with  what  tlicir  father;'  had 
done  for  them,  or  so  difc?<-itisfied,  that  they  did  not  care  to  do  mii:ht  for 
their  better  or  longer  renu mlji  aiice  in  the  world.  With  the  few  who  have 
thus  maintained  a  careless  ur  resolved  bilcnce,  and  preferred  to  wrap  them- 
selves and  their  forefathers  iu  dumb  forgetfulness,  stands  another  class 
of  inefficient  helpers,  who,  after  giving  a  brief  and  superficial  outline  of 
their  family  history  for  a  generation  or  two,  could  never  be  tempted,  or

liistory  crer  prepared  before  the  present  one,  was  a  brief  sketch  covering 
two  or  three  priuteU  pages,  which  was  prepared  by  Gov.  'Julub  Strong  of 
Northampton,  and  sent  by  him,  then  32  years  of  age,  3Iay  i26,  1777,  to 
R«T*  Joseph  Strong  of  WxllUmsborgh,  Mass.  (the  antlior'a  great^and- 
faiber),  aod  manifestly  at  bis  solieitation.  Twenty-one  years  aflerwarda 
(June  22, 1798),  when  he  was  an  U.  8.  Senator,  he  seems  to  have  lost 
die  draft  of  his  original  letter,  if  not  also  the  doonments  on  whioh  it  was 
founded,  and  to  have  requested  a oopy  of  it  from  bb  former  correspondent, 
who,  at  the  date  above  given,  replied  to  his  request  with  the  following 
brief  introduction  :  "  Hon.  and  dear  sir  :  In  compliance  with  your  request 
gi2:nified  in  your  favor  of  th^  C,t\\  instant,  I  transmit  to  you  the  fullowing 
extract  of  an  account  of  Elder  John  Strong  and  his  descendants  compiled 
and  transmitted  to  me  by  yourself  in  your  letter  of  May  2fi,  1777,  viz: 
that,  etc."  The  original  letter  the  author  has  seen  and  liamlled  ;  it  is  in 
the  pobses^ioD  now  of  Mrs,  Eliza  Jane  (Strong)  Mcrritt,  the  great-grand- 
daughter of  liev.  Joseph  Strong  and  wife  of  llov.  Elbridgo  W.  Merritt, 
who  reside  now  (1870)  on  the  old  family  homestead  in  Williamsbnrgb. 
"Tbe  extraot  of  Got.  Strong's  original  aooonnt"  of  the  family  history  in 
general  terms,  in  the  seoond  generation  and  partly  in  the  third,  was  several 
years  ago  printed,  and  somewhat  widely  aoatter^  among  different  branohea 
of  the  family.  At  leu:^t  a  dozen  copies  of  this  very  brief  view  of  the  his- 
tory  of  the  family  for  the  first  80  years  of  its  existence  have  been  kindly 
sent  to  the  author  at  different  times.  With  this  scanty  knowledge  of  its 
early  begin?i!n'.^'.s  and  subsequent  devclopuient,  the  family  have  contented 
theniselvL'B,  in  all  parts  of  i\u'.  hind,  for  90  years  i»a.st  until  now.  And 
that  tile  exeeediug  iitraQgeuei»s  ot  tiiid  wide-spread  indiffereucc  to  a  thorough 
acquaintance  with  their  worthy  ancestry  may  appear  m  fully  to  others  as 
to  the  author,  he  here  places  it  in  print  anew.  This  he  does  the  more 
readily  and  thankfully,  as,  wtthont  this  early  memorial  of  the  family  as  a 
gside,  he  would  never  have  known  where  to  search  for  the  fkcto  that  had 
lain  so  long  hidden  in  the  dark.  The  few  little  seeds  that  Gov^  Strong 
aoattered  upon  the  waters  a  century  ago,  in  bis  youth,  with  so  little 
thought  of  their  ultimate  value,  have  been  the  source,  to  a  great  degree, 
of  the  large  harvest  of  facte  here  gathered.  Behold  then  what  was  known 
of  the  great  family  of  Strongs  a  hundred  years  ago,  and  has  been  idly 
allnwed  to  be  all  that  fihouM  bo  knovrn  for  another  liundrud  years  after* 
wards  except  in  a  very  few  specific  branches  and  by  very  few  persons.

its  publication  than  whs  anticipated. 

Wlif^n  approaching  the  end  of  his  labors  tlie  author  prepared  the  fol-

The  first  sabacription  reoeived  wee  from  Lyman  Strong  of  OleTeland,  0., 
who  WIS  by  the  enthor'a  aide  when  he  made  it,  end  who  aud  '^pnt  me 

down  for  20  copies  at  least."  The  next  waa  made  by  William  Air  Bey* 
oolda,  Esq.,  of  Rooheater,  N.  Y.,  who  wrote :  "  I  will  take  25  copies  at  any 
rate  and  40  if  necessary,"  and  afterwards  anbacribed  for  5  more  for  variooa 
college  libraries.  These  whole-souled  responses  insured  at  once  in  the 
author's  heart  the  certainty  of  the  publication  of  the  history  of  the  Family. 
That  there  were  otliers  also,  who  had  a  j^cnerous  cstiiuute  of  the  value  to 
tlio  family  of  a  loiij^  series  of  earnest  cfl'orts,  to  collect  and  preserve  all 
of  its  records  thut  could  posisibly  bo  obtained,  will  be  made  luanilust  by 
the  anbjoioed  list  of  subscribers.  Had  any  considerable  number  of  like 
meana  maoifeated  a  aimilar  inteveat  in  this  great  endeaTor,  to  obtain  and

of  gold  with  feathers  of  ailTer,  instead  of  jnat  atanding  alive  upon  its  feet 
as  now,  without  being  rednced  to  the  necessity  of  asking  leave  to  be.  A 
family  history,  however  well  prepared,  can  thrive  only  as  those  belonging 
to  the  family  breathe  into  it  the  breath  of  life.  It  cannot  trust  to  its 
merits,  as  in  other  departTiif-nta  of  literary  effort,  where  the  field  is  the 
world,  or  makes  its  ^'rowing  way  to  publto  favor  through  successive  edi-

it  can  receive.

The  History  of  this  Booh 


Th9  engraved  likenesses,  all  on  steel  plates,  which  appair  ia  the  work, 
were  eaok  and  all  directly  sought  by  the  author  and  generously  fnrniriusd 
by  the  several  parties  whoso  faces  they  represent  among  the  living. 
Those  of  the  departed  wore  furnished  with  like  srenerosity  by  the  follow- 
in;;  persons :  Gov.  Caleb  Stroiijj;'8,  by  his  granddauLiUter,  Mrs.  Martha  A.

Esq.,  of  New  York,  hia  grandson.  That  of  Mrs,  Sophia  W.  Dwight  was 
furnished  by  the  author,  and  is  only  to  be  criticised  as  not  equal  in  Iteauty 
to  its  orii^'inal.  Twelve  of  the  portraits  were  prepared  expressly  f*ir  this 
work  ;  those  of  Prof.  Theodore  Strong: ;  Mrs.  Sophia  W.  Dwight  ;  Georgo 
W.  Stron<j;,  Efifj.  ;  Benjamin  Stronpr,  Esi|.;  Gcorpe  T.  Strong,  Esq.  ;  Judge

John  0.  Bnttro  of  New  York.

One,  fond  of  promoting  the  higher  interesta  of  the  ehnreh  and  of  the 
state,  soon  learns  to  look  with  qniet  indifFerence  upon  the  adverse  judg- 
ments of  those,  who  depreeiate  all  forms  of  hnman  effort  that  do  not 
tend  to  tho  immediate  personal  advantage  of  those  that  undertake  them. 
Lest  any  of  his  own  posterity  should  over  think,  with  some  of  hia  eon- 
tomporaries,  that  the  author  did  really  and  absolutely  waste  his  time,  in 
devoting  it  to  these  genealogical  researches,  he  here  carefully  states,  for 
their  benefit,  that,  while  pursuingthem,  he  also  instructed  his  own  children 
from  two  to  tbree  hours  daily  in  their  studies,  and  prraclied  on  tho  sabbath 
in  neighboring  towns,  as  I'aris,  Sauquoit,  ] 'i  nujiviile,  and  Hanover, 
chiefly  the  latter  two  places.    He  is  sure  that  any  one,  already  well,  wiU

the  anreet  means  of  health  as  well  as  of  nsefolness  and  happiness.  How 
cwntentedly  spoke  Gioero,  whea  pleading  for  the  poet  Arehias,  of  his  own 
fondness  for  literary  ooeapattons,  in  the  midst  of  his  professional  labors  I 
**  Who  oan  justly  find  fanlt  with  me,  if  what  time  others  give  to  late 
luKirs  of  ftstive  pleasure,  what  to  games  of  dice,  what  to  out-of  door  amuso- 
nent>  so  mneh  I  should  take  to  m;^lf  for  the  pursuit  of  these  studios." 
Tbere  is  a  j^rent  deal  of  knowledge  eagerly  souL^ht  araoni*  men,  and  much 
hoQorcd  both  in  the  seeking  and  procurinf;;,  which  brings,  when  obtained, 
far  less  weaiih  to  the  heart  and  iiiiproveineut  to  tlie  ch:iractor,  than  that 
concerning  ties  of  consanguinity,  which  are  thcm.solvos  divinely  ordered, 
and  when  rightly  appreciated  and  improved  moat  divinely  ble*sed.  Surely 
in  the  historic  outgrowths  of  family  life  there  ought  to  be  found  in  this 
eountfy  the  highest  and  brightest  proofs  of  the  best  Christian  oivilisation 
of  the  world.  Is  a  great  painter,  no  matter  how  great>  thought  to  have 
misdirected  his  energies,  who  for  years  of  qniet  unobserved  toil  has 
wrought  out  with  labor-lovliig  caro  the  piotura  of  a  lew  great  souhi 
grouped  together  in  but  one  single  brare  or  happy  moment  of  their  history, 
a  picture  to  be  seen  at  the  best  by  but  few,  and  to  be  felt  and  cherished, 
as  "a  thing  of  joy  forever,"  by  a  little  minority  even  of  those  so  fortunate  ? 
What  a  low  sun^e  of  the  be:uity  and  value  of  high  historic  art,  and  what 
degeneracy  of  luoriil  feeling  likewise  are  manifested,  iu  the  idea  that  an 
eudeavor  tu  preserve  the  memory  iu  living  freshness  through  all  time  of 
thousands  of  noble  men  and  women,  to  whose  true  characters  and  deeds 
and  those  of  others  like  them,  Amerioa  owes  now  and  will  forerer  owe  its 
intelleetnal  and  moral  greatness  and  its  power  among  the  nations,  should 
be  deemed  a  eheap  or  at  least  quite  questionable  way  of  spending  one's 
time  and  foroe,  for  four  brief  happy  years  of  patient,  ever  hopeful,  and  at 
last  sncoessful  effort.    Thousands  of  gratified  inquirers  into  the  facts  of 
th'-ir  MTiccstrul  history  will,  long  after  the  iiklse  ideas  and  feeble  aims  and 
cfloru  uf  most  of  the  present  generation  have  spent  themselves  for  nought, 
pronounce  an  indignnnt  negative  upon  any  such  low  estimate  of  the 
utuiUit  painstaking  /.cal  fur  their  ]irofit  and  plea.^ure.    Alas  I  for  the 
moral  pettiness  ui  those,  the  many,  who  if  a  mine  of  wealth  for  the  pocket 
could  be  found  in  such  researches  would  admire  uud  praise,  and  evou  euvy 
tilose  who  peraeveringly  delved  year  after  year  into  diem,  but  who,  since 
the  gauge  of  pecuniary  valne  can  not  be  snooessfully  applied,  fiul  to  see 
anything  worthy  of  a  wise  man's  interest  in  their  pursnit. 

The  author  has  enoountered  in  his  work  quite  a  number  of  two  some- 
what opposite  classes  of  persons.  One  consists  of  those  who  feel  sure  that 
such  a  great  enterprise  must  have  been  undertaken  as  a  qteenJation,  and 
that  **  there  is  money  in  it and  they  cannot  understand  how  a  man  in  his 
prime  can  willingly  and  much  more  enthusiastically  devote  himself  to  any- 
thing but  money  malung.   A  few  of  these  have  proposed  to  csst  anchor

itaolf  on  a  large  seale,  until  he  eomes  to  see  the  nsnal  eonrse  of  things 
among  near  relattves,  in  the  settlement  of  estates.  Nor  can  genealogists 
bring  any  ^ery  fororable  report  of  the  existence  of  a  general  disposition, 
even  among  the  cultivated  classes  of  society,  to  put  questions  of  money 
second  to  those  of  family-fcclinir,  money,  not  in  its  aspcct«<  of  necJful 
use,  but  in  tbuf^e  of  mere  capricious  self-in Jui;::ence.  What  men  will 
actually  do  to  promote  a  good  cau^e,  what  they  will  freely  give  for  it, 
what  they  will  suffer  fur  it,  these  are  the  mDiles  of  nica^urint!;  their  other-

little  sum  from  his  abundant  resources,  as  would  only  suffice  to  buy  a 
oheap  garment  soon  worn  out,  or  to  meet  the  expenses  of  a  day's  travel 
or  two,  or  to  buy  some  petty  personal  ornament,  easily  lost,  a  sum  that 
would  not  pay  for  a  good  piotnre  of  a  sheep,  or  a  dog,  how  small  most  be 
his  curiosity  concerning  days  gone  by  !  how  poor  his  veneration  for  an- 
cestral worth  I  how  feeble  his  gratitude  for  those  who  walked  with  such 
firm  and  jo3'nu?  footsteps  before  him  on  the  pitliway  of  duty  to  God  and 
man!  and  how  unfortunate  the  lesson  that  he  teaches  his  children  and 
children's  children  concerning  the  preservation  of  bis  own  memory  among 
themselves ! 

There  are  few  forms  of  poor  manners  that  acem  more  utterly  ungra- 
doua,  than  those  exhibited  to  every  genealogical  investigator,  by  a  small 
number  of  persons,  who  allow  themselves  to  be  addressed  again  and  again 
oonoeming  the  hiatory  of  their  immediate  kindred,  and  yet  make  no  re> 
gponse  or  acknowledgment  whatever  of  letters  roeeived.  And  yet  the 
whole  truth  in  this  direction  would  not  be  stated  if  the  author  failed  to 
say,  that  among  the  beet  contributors  of  facts  to  him  have  been,  in  n 
eonsiderable  number  of  instances,  those  who  made  no  replies  to  his  in-

from  the  Ood  of  the  Bible  and  of  our  fathers.  The  equal  rights  here

ian type,  to  all  sjstems  of  kin^^ly  or  priestly  monopoly,  however  softened 
by  the  progress  of  humane  ideas. 

In  rulcrcuce  to  the  euriicr  gt-uealogies  oi  the  Northampton  deBceudants 
of  Elder  John  Strong,  the  author  had  the  benefit  of  free  aooess  to  the 
papers  of  the  late  SylTceter  Judd,  Esq.,  of  Novthamptoo,  accorded  kindly 
to  him  by  hie  daughter,  Hies  Peninah  Judd,  of  that  phMe ;  and  from

man,  of  that  place,  which  ehe  generously  allowed  him  to  keep  for  months 
in  his  own  bands. 

A  large  proportion  of  his  most  valued  helpers  have  been  between  70 
and  80  years  of  age,  and  some  of  them  between  SO  and  00.  A  considera-

The  Elaiory  of  this  Book 


Bhone,  in  bucIi  a  way,  tha  regatd  «Tinc6d  by  mosiof  tiieir  descendants  for 
ihem.  It  is  almost  always  safe  to  assume  that  any  desired  records  of 
names  and  dates,  pertaining  to  the  better  families  of  the  land,  in  early 
New  England  day?,  arc  In  exi^t'^no.^  somewhf  ro  still  ;  and  that  by  a  littlo 
Yankee  in^enniry  and  cttorr,  their  hidinir  place  can  be  found. 

The  author  expects  to  find,  like  other  genealogists,  many  poor  com- 
plaining souls  hopping  around  his  footsteps  iu  the  end,  that  would  them- 
selves give  him  no  aid  in  his  arduous  undertaking,  and  are  angry  that  he 
has  not  detailed  such  other  faots,  beyond  those  here  funiiahed,  as  they 
alone,  while  wantonly  or  negligently  omitting  to  do  ab,  eould  ha^e  eon- 
tributed.  There  are  plenty  of  snoh  frog-like  natarea  to  be  fonnd,  in  eveiy 
field  of  hnman  research,  but  espeoiaUy  in  this  fields  that  sit  idly  in  the 
mnddy  pools  of  their  own  selfishness,  waiting  all  day  long  Ibr  a  good 
ehance  to  fill  the  air  with  their  oroakings. 

He  is  not  certain  but  that  even  professed  pronealogists  themselves  will 
attack  him,  for  his  special  ideas  of  genealogical  methodology,  lie  had 
not  followed  the  old  red-tape  system,  prescribed,  in  practice,  V-y  former 
genealogists  and,  even  in  set  form,  by  the  two  genealogical  socioties  at 
Boston  and  New  York,  of  classifying  generatious,  as  Buch,  together  in 
parallel  lines  of  presentation.  Such  a  style  of  arrangement  throws  so  mneh 
labor  upon  the  reader,  and  requres  him  to  earry  so  much  in  his  mind 
fh>m  page  to  page,  as  he  searohes  into  one  part  after  another  of  his  own 
fiunily  history,  that  most  soon  gire  np  the  task  of  obtaining  any  large 
eonneoted  Tiew  of  even  their  own  peisonal  lineage,  in  ntter  wearisome- 
ness  if  not  disgust  Familiss  do  not  grow  in  horiaontal  directions  bnt  in 
descending  and  pendolons  groups.  To  recommend,  and,  mnoh  more,  to 
undertake  to  prescribe,  a  system  of  horizontal  sections  in  gcnenlogical 
anatomy,  is  as  unnatural,  as  to  treat  iu  a  t^imilar  way  the  facts  and  princ?- 
ples  of  vegetable  or  animal  anatomy.  "  following  nature  is  the  courec  of 
man/'  not  only,  but  also  of  all  true  art,  whether  genealogical  or  of  any 
other  kiud.  An  attempted  ebtablibhmeut  therel'ore  of  au  unnatural  mode 
of  classification  in  genealogical  matters  will  stand  related  to  true  art  here, 
in  no  better  light  than  the  old  Egyptian  system  of  priestly  dictation  in 
the  art  of  painting,  and  the  modern  Chinese  system  of  drawing,  without 
any  vefeience  to  the  laws  of  perspectiTe,  possess  in  respect  to  the  arts 
of  design. 

Last  of  all :  — a  word  about  orthographic  errors,  Terbal  omissions  and 
misprints.  The  most  dist^asteful  page  in  a  book  is  to  an  author's  eye  that 
hated  list  of  errata,  which  like  a  spirit  of  evil  if5  sure  to  haunt  him  at  the 
end  of  his  long  and  careful  work.  "  OlTenses  must  needs  eomo"  here  as 
elsewhere.  Who  ever  built  a  mansion  that  had  no  cracks  in  its  walls  or 
had  a  garden  that  needed  no  weeding,  or  produced  a  work  of  art,  in  which 
he  did  not  himself  see  many  points  of  unreached  aspiraiiou.    There  are

all  but  imperatiye  demand  of  the  publisher,  on  account  of  their  mutual 
distance  from  each  other,  that  the  book  should  be  printed  page  by  page 
without  waiting  for  him  to  see  and  correct  the  revised  proof.  Add 
to  this  fact  the  further  one  that  from  20  to  25  pagen  f  proof  were  daily

earlier  dato;  and  it  will  be  readily  seen  that  it  was  thiongh  a  slow  length 
of  agony  that  this  book  oame  at  last  to  its  birth.  Through  this  great  and 
unwelcome,  booanse  so  inadequate,  way  of  proving  the  right  printing  of 
his  carefully  prepared  manuscript,  he  had  literally  to  gallop  each 
daj  between  mails  ;  a  ilefiuitc  allotted  ppr*o<^  of  just  three  hours.  That 
second  look  v.t  thio^  which  anything  worthy  of  respect  or  regard  should 
have,  as  is  implied  iu  the  words  themselves,  that  look,  calm,  close  and 
critical,  made  for  the  very  purpose  of  discovering  errors  and  defects  which 
like  another  winnowing  of  the  chaff  irum  the  wheat  removes  it  aJl  away,

or  process  of  yielding  up  that  last  reserved  right  of  an  anther.  While 
thinking  the  book  to  have  been  printed  with  remarkably  tisw  errors,  con* 
mdering  the  fiuits  of  the  ease,  the  author  yet  feels  that  so  mneh  ezplann* 
tion  as  is  here  girenof  whatever  mistakes  or  nusprints  may  be  discovered 
in  the  work  by  any  one,  is  due  to  himself.

prove  to  be  a  pillar  of  light,  wherever  it  stands,  to  the  honor  of  God,  the 
God  of  our  father?,  and  for  the  promotion  of  virtuo  and  piety,  to  the  latest 
generation  of  those  who  ?hn!l  rend  in  its  pages  the  record  of  the  worthy 
lives  and  characters  of  tUeir  sires.

HISTORY 

DESCENDANTS  OF  ELDER  JOHN  STRONG, 

OF  NOBTHAMPTON^,  MASS. 


INTRODUCTION. 

Pew  eftribly  toils  are  more  tWolutely  entitled  lo  be  celled  **  Ubom  ni 
love,"  then  those  spent  in  extended  and  tborough  genealogical  research. 
While  famishing  neither  money  nor  fame,  they  are  yet  fall  of  satisfaotion, 
and  the  more  so  the  wider  the  field  throngh  which  they  are  pursued. 

If  any  part  of  the  world's  history  hitherto  deserves  to  be  cherished  in 
grateful  and  admiring  remembrance,  it  is  that  of  this  country  from  its 
first  settlement  to  the  present  hour;  and  the  men,  that  wrought  under 
God  all  t'he  crreat  benefits  which  wo  now  enjoy  info  fhoir  present  shape, 
deserve,  t'<ir  the  moral  {»urity  of  their  characters,  iho  heroism  of  their 
lives,  and  the  greatness  of  the  social  results  nciiirvfd  for  this  nation  and 
for  all  mankind  by  their  indu-tiy  and  tiu'ir  virtue,  to  be  cmbsslnied  for- 
ever in  the  hearts  of  their  dusceuiiaiita.  Whatever  may  occur  iu  luturo 
years  to  change  greatly  the  elements  or  courses  of  our  dcvclopiuent  as  a 
people,  the  fact  can  never  be  impaired,  that  the  real  buildm»  of  this  na- 
tioot  and  the  inspirers  of  its  aims  and  purposes,  were  the  Puritans  of  New 
England  and  their  immediate  descendants.  Who  and  what  they  were  in 
their  every  day  life ;  how  they  spread  from  point  to  point  over  this  wide 
land,  first  conquered  by  themsclve.s  to  Chrintiao  civilization,  penetrating 
every  part  of  it  with  the  ideaj^  and  institutions  of  their  early  homes  ;  and 
how,  from  the  precious  seed  which  they  bore  forth  and  scattered,  and 
often  with  much  weopincr.  in  the  wn^fc  parts  of  tlic  wilderness  before 
them,  the  glorious  harvest  ()r<Mir  times  h:is  u'rowii  up  for  us,  it  is  pleasant 
tu  tiud  for  one's  self,  and  to  be  utile  to  show  unto  others.  The  processes 
of  the  early  .t^ettlement  of  thi.-*  cuuiitry,  aaJ  of  the  wide-spread  develop- 
ment of  the  active  principles  of  homo  colonization,  which  have  made  out 
of  a  few  religions  strangers  here  at  the  first,  one  of  the  mightiest  nations 
of  the  world  in  so  short  a  time,  are  among  the  greatest  marvels  of  human 
history. 

The  Puritan  element,  whose  influence  has  been  so  all-conqucring  and 
benefioent  among  the  social  forces  that  have  made  us  what  we  are  as  a

people,  ifl  beooming  mtnifesUy  erety  jwc  a  more  and  more  diminishiDg 
quantity  among  the  agencies  at  work  to  perpetuate  and  enlarge  our  great- 
ness among  the  nations  of  the  earth.    How  carefially,  therefore,  should  we 

secure  the  memorials,  wliilo  we  may,  of  the  lon»  procefsion  of  true-hearted 
men  and  wonirri  that  liavo  horno  down,  with  many  tears  and  toils  and 
prayers,  the  prcciout*  ark  of  tiod's  covenant,  and  of  our  liberties  to  the 
present  hour.  "We  will  not,  we  cannot,  forget  those  who  toiled  and  dared 
und  endured  so  umoh  for  God  and  fur  us.  To  enjoy  the  splendid  heritage 
of  good  which  they  so  laboriously  and  lovingly  prepared  for  us,  as  if  that 
were  all  that  we  of  this  day  cared  for,  and  to  forget  them  as  the  magnai- 
nimous  bestowers  of  its  rich  benefits  upon  us,  would  bo  the  strongest 
possible  proof  of  our  utter  degeneracy  from  the  noble  histerio  stock  to 
which  we  belong. 

Our  fathers  were  workers.  They  ate  their  own  bread,  and  were  almost 
all  of  them  at  the  first  honest  and  earnest  tillers  of  the  ground.  Self- 
help  was  the  universal  taw  of  life.  Nothing,  next  to  vice  itself,  was  more 
odious  to  them  than  idleness.  Ministers  and  people  alike,  husbands  and 
wives,  lather^,  mothers,  and  children,  all  helped  themselves  nnd  heljied 
each  other.  iSelf-indulgeuce  wns  no  part  of  the  original  fahrie  of  our 
constitution  as  a  people.  It  is  pleasiauL  to  convey  the  records  of  the  lives 
aud  deeds  of  such  a  sturdy  and  God-fearing  aiiccjjtry  as  ourji,  to  thuoe  who 
shall  succeed  us,  as  among  the  most  precious  remembrances  of  all  past 
times.  These  were  they  who  used  to  pray  regularly  at  their  firesides, 
and  in  their  sanctuaries,  that  "  God  would  bless  their  children  and  child- 
ren's children  to  the  latest  generation;"  and  in  what  a  fullness  of  all 
good  things  has  the  blessing  that  they  prayed  for,  been  rained  down  upon 
us  I  The  aroma  of  their  many  virtues,  which  is  so  fresh  in  our  bearte, 
who  live  within  the  very  precincts  of  their  timci^!,  we  wovild  fain  perpetuate, 
if  possible,  in  the  happy  eonscioiunCHBS  of  all  their  posterity. 

The  disposition  to  preserve  monumental  records,  of  some  sort,  of  illus- 
trion=*  worth,  isi  «n  univcrsHl  aTnon;.'  men,  as  to  deserve  almost  the  name 
of  a  natural  instinct  in  the  human  heart.  All  .scholars  know  how  the 
stern  uM  ri(*uiaiis,  men  of  iroti  hearts  and  hands,  honnreil  the  wras 
jiutrum  imajitus  in  the  pcnutralia  of  their  houses ;  how  they  brought 
them  forth  in  honor  on  religious  and  festive  oocasions ;  how  they  wore 
their  likenesses  on  their  signet-rings ;  and  how  they  continually  threw  in 
their  oratory  and  their  verse  the  spell  over  the  living  present  of  the  dead 
past,  which  their  sires  had  glorified  by  their  heroic  lives.  As  the  Ger- 
mans love  ani^  praise  their  "  dear  father-land,"  so  spoke  they  always 
proudly  of  Rome,  as  their  fondly  cherished  /w/rio,  the  land  of  their  ^a- 
&e*t  or  fatliers.  £ven  God  himself  appealed  expectantly  to  the  natural 
sentiment  of  reverence  for  worthy  ancestors  in  the  hearts  of  his  people, 
as  one  of  the  >ttoii^c-^t  nf  all  bon  is  for  holding  their  hearts  firmly  to  him. 
He  spoke  to  them  as  "  the  God  of  Abraham,  Isaac  and  Jacob,"  and  the

God  of  their  fathers."  Of  Abrabaui  thej  always  thought  and  spoke  as 
"ihe  father  of  the  faithful"  hoth  on  earth  and  in  heaveo;  and  heaTon 
Itself  was  in  their  thonghts  **  Abraham's  bosom."  Quite  as  mnch  by  his- 
toric nemoriaisof  Tarious  kinds,  as  also  by  remarkable  prophetic  symbols 
of  groat  good  things  to  come  in  the  long  future,  was  the  Jewish  mind 
pnrpoeely  vitaliaed  by  its  Maker  with  the  energetic  ideas  and  impulses, 
by  which  it  was' continually  swayed.  Even  the  moral  law  was  prefaced  with 
the  ever-to-be  repeated  remembraDce  by  them,  that  it  came  from  him  who 
had  brought  their  fathers  "  out  of  the  land  of  Eg3'pt,  out  of  the  house  of 
bond:i£ro."  If  Jew?  and  Greeks  and  Romans  and  the  populou*«  pwarms 
of  China  have  found  in  aucostral  ties  one  of  the  stion;^est  bouds  of  civil 
order  and  security,  liow  niucli  more  ouirbt  we,  who  enjoy  the  greatly 
hupiirior  benefits  of  Christian  civilizntioii,  to  value  tlje  remembrance  of 
the  earthly  sources  from  which  they  luive  been  immcdiateiy  derived  f 

Shall  then  mineralogists  like  Daua,  otic  of  us,  be  commended  for  spend- 
ing years  of  laborious  ezplontion  among  corals  and  minerals ;  or  distin- 
guished botanists,  for  searohing  every  where  far  and  near  for  long  periods 
of  time  for  plants  and  trees  and  flowers  that  hare  escaped  others'  notice; 
or  naturalists  like  Agassis,  for  devoting  a  life-time  to  the  study  of  the 
forms  and  habits  of  fishes,  and  even  of  t\ui  differences  of  their  soales;  or 
practical  astronomers,  for  watching  the  skies  by  night  from  youth  to  old 
age  to  make  observations,  which  need  much  repeating  and  comparing  and 
ptudyin[;  afterwards  to  yield  any  result,  and  that  often  of  but  little  actual 
value  evi'u  for  ideal  uses  ;  aud  yet  he  who  t^ives  a  few  happy  years  of 
i  ;iriii'--t  in(|uiry  into  tlie  oriL'^In,  progrei^s  and  irtsues  of  the  lives  of  those, 
for  whom  ;ill  j.bmts  and  rocks  and  hills  and  seas  and  skies  and  Ftiirs  were 
made,  aud  cspcciuUy  in  respect  to  a  race  the  most  conspicuous  of  all  that 
have  yet  appeared  upon  earth  for  its  high  moral  charaoterbties  and  ex* 
perienoes  be  asked  with  a  leer,  or  rather  with  a  sneer,  "  To  what  purpose 
is  this  waste?" 

The  Strong  Family  has  been  one  of  the  largest  and  best  of  the  original 
families  of  New  Bnghmd.  In  its  widely  ramified  history  we  hare  a  pic- 
ture, on  a  broad  scale,  of  men  founding  families  in  the  fear  of  God,  and 
training  them  to  his  service  from  generation  to  geoeration,  according  to 

the  best  typical  forms  in  church  and  state  of  our  ever  cxpaudiug  home- 
growth.  They  have  ever  been  nninni;  the  forenio;-t  in  the  land,  to  found 
and  to  favor  those  great  bulwarks  of  our  civilization,  the  churuli  and  the 
school,  ^fany  have  been  the  towns,  the  territ  ries  and  the  states  into 
whose  initial  luinis  and  processes  of  establish nu  uL  ihcy  have  poured  the 
full  currents  of  their  life  aud  strength,  bcw  families  have  had  more  edu- 
cated and  proferaional  men  amoog  them,  scholars,  physicians,  lawyers, 
teachers,  preachers,  judges,  senators  and  military  officers. 

To  the  careful  student  of  social  forces  and  results,  the  family  history 
here  presented  will  plainly  exhibit  such  facts  as  these;  that  fiimilies

enoo  in  the  .'^tylc  oi' trrowth  that  a  family  exhibits,  and  often  throuL'h  long 
perioils  of  time,  where  and  how  it  is  placed  for  its  riatural  manifestation 
of  itself,  as  where  a  Uelicate  plant  is  set,  whether  iu  much  sunshine  or  in 
little,  in  weak  soil  or  a  strung  one,  and  with  or  without  expoanre  toaudden 
cbilb  and  atorma.  That the  univeraal  Yankee  nation  "  ia  a  thoroughly 
thrifty  raoe,  adapting  Uaelf  readily  to  alt  the  turna  of  fortune  and  to 
every  new  chanoe  of  auooeaa,  the  Strong  Family  hiatory  ahowa  aa  plainly 
aa  oati  be  desired.  The  Strongs  have  been  much  addicted  to  bearing  off 
New  Kngland  idea?  antl  institutions  into  new  aettlements.  And  it  haa 
been  the  ever  repeated  source  of  wonder  to  the  author,  th  at.  with  the  very 
great  educational  disadvantagep  of  pioneer  life,  so  many  famiiies  tliat  have 
been  severely  subjected  to  them  in  rhcir  earl)*  dcvfdopment,  havecolue  ia 
the  end  to  the  superior  pnsitioti  to  which  they  have  attained. 

Any  one  who  shall  try  to  trace  out  the  genealogy  of  any  large  family  in 
all  its  branches,  over  a  period  of  two  hundred  and  fifty  years  and  at  ever 
new  centres  of  life  and  action,  will  find  that  it  requires  the  same  kind  of 
determined  energy,  in  order  to  8uceeed,a8  to  build  a  railway  acroas  the 
continent.  Slowly  but  ateadily  the  pathway  of  aucceaa  ia  to  be  tunnelled 
for  years  through  long  miles  of  solid  rock.  Genealogical  engineering,  if 
not  legidoaately  a  branch  of  civil  engineering,  is  beset  with  quite  aa  many 
difficulties  as  that  iu  any  of  its  larger  forma  of  patient  requisition.  He 
who  toils  in  this  field  of  results  must  make  up  his  mind,  however  reluct- 
antly, to  gather  such  facts  as  he  can,  instead  of  what  he  would.  The 
great  i  m  in'  rli.-i  of  the  human  mind  at  large,  towards  all  the  ends  of  life, 
which  :ire  ni't  j»hy?*icfil  or  measurahle  hy  physical  standards,  is  the  one 
pcr[H  iual  iili>t;ic!e  to  flie  al-soluto  cuniplcteness  of  his  work.  Want  of 
thank.'uliic-s  to  I'urnicr  generations,  and  want  of  generosity  toward;*  those 
which  are  to  come,  are  the  two  pba.ses  of  equal  moral  obrujuity  which 
supreme  devotion  to  the  passing  interests  of  the  hour  everywhere  assumes. 

Few  compared  with  the  whole  number  of  one's  correspondents,  but 
many  when  compared  with  none  at  all,  take  no  interest  whatever,  or  at  least 
seem  to  take  none,  in  the  story  of  their  lineage,  and  take  paina  at  tiroes  to 
parade  the  fact  rather  ostentatiously,  before  your  eyes.  Although  their 
intelligent,  industrious,  godly  forefathers  in  successive  generations  pre- 
pared for  them,  with  growing  zeal,  such  a  heritage  of  popular  rights  and 
privileges  and  ol' per^nn-il  good  in  many  forms,  as  none  else  on  earth  ever 
received  from  those  that  went  before  them,  they  grudge  the  hestowment

with  eorions  theories  and  traditions.  In  one  instsnoe,  a  scholarly  man 
had  traced  out  satisfactorily  to  himself  the  genealogy  of  his  grandfather 
and  grandmother  respectively,  and  he  was  shown  in  each  case  to  he 
entirely  wrong;  one  large  family  had  the  tradition,  that  their  first  Ame-

Mlvea,  althotigb  as  yet  bo  little  appreciated  in  referenoe  to  the  true  pnrpoM 
and  inflneuce  of  their  labors,  are  among  tbe  greatest  benefketors  of  the 
nation  and  the  oge.  ' 

'  Xteverence  for  the  pnst,  for  all  that  has  hccn  truo  and  good  aud  great 
in  it,  is  one  of  the  highest  private  and  puhltc  virtues.  Never  was  its 
gtront,'  influence  more  neeflful,  in  tlie  composition  and  action  of  the  ruling 
clcmentii  of  Anu  iit  in  society,  than  now.  A  true  spirit  ot  iiatiunal  pro- 
gress will  not  btck  tu  displace  a  &iii;:le  right  result  or  idea  of  other  days, 
hut  rather  to  huild  on  whatsoever  \mn  been  desirable  in  the  past  all  things 
better  that  are  possible.  The  cuuscrvative  aud  progressive  elemeots  of 
the  Booial  state  are  ei|ually  neceasarj  eaeh  to  tbe  other.  Men  of  escperi- 
enee  and  wisdom  ought  to  rule  this  country,  instead  of  those  whose  chief 
merit  is  their  *'yonng  blood/'  What  is  significantly  called  "Young 
America"  is  quite  ready  to  run  away  in  its  conceit  and  wantonness,  not 
only  with  our  pulpits  but  also  with  all  our  institutions  and  processes  of 
education. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  work,  the  aim  has  been  at  all  times,  not  to 
see  how  little  could  he  furnished  of  the  real  history  of  any  family  and 
call  the  labor  done;  but  how  much,  at  whatever  cost  of  tinie  or  money. 
In  the  mailer  of  date",  it  is  provokingly  diflicuh  to  be  always  necurate. 
Many  give  dates,  and  quite  too  confidently,  from  nieiiiMiy  ;  some  write  so 
poorly,  that  -1  aud  G,  3  aud  5,  3  and  8,  7  and  d  are  conliuuully  liable  to 
he. mistaken  one  for  the  other.  It  is  seldom  that  two  members  of  the 
Bame  family  give  an  extended  list  of  dates  exactly  slike,  and  the  same 
individual  gives  olten,  at  different  times,  very  different  dates  of  the  same 
events.  The  personal  peculiarities  of  the  various  contributors  of  facts 
make  themselves  felt  here,  in  many  forms  and  ways. 

To  nny  careful  observer  of  the  facts  here  brought  to  vteWimany  points 
of  interest  of  a  biological  and  sociologiciil  kind  will  ?ui:;gest  themselves. 
It  will  be  seen,  that  hereditary  peculiarities  desc«ud  from  generation  to 
generation  and  off.Mi  to  n  lon<r  distance,  and  that  covonrint  lilcs-^in^'^'^  arc

truth  after  all,  in  the  mean  Uiiig,  .so  ultcu  uiaJo  by  some,  that  ministers' 
SODS  and  deacons'  children  are  more  apt  thau  others,  to  react  against  the 
well-meant  but  mistaken  restraints  of  their  early  home  edncation,  will 
be  able  to  perceive  here,  on  a  large  scale,  the  utter  groundlessness  of  such 
a  petulant  and  pestilent  calumny.  Far  fewer  representatives  of  the 
family>8tock,  it  will  be  readily  seen,  are  born  in  modern  than  in  by-gone 
times.  The  females  of  the  family  are,  as  a  general  fsot  much  shorter 
lived  than  those  of  an  earlier  date,  and,  as  a  consequence,  the  namber  of 
second  and  third  marriages  is  quite  in  advance  in  later  years,  of  what  it 
was  in  srv(  r  il  nf  fin-  first  successive  generations  of  Elder  John  Strontj's

<ho  pKient  and  the  past^  is  tho  tmmeosa  diTenifioattoD  of  bosineas  aeen 
everyirhore  now^  both  pttblio  and  private,  compared  with  the  almost  nni- 
▼erral  aoiformity  of  employment  at  first,  in  tilling  the  soil.  Byery  variety 
of  taste,  capacity,  education,  an  ]  strength  can  fiud  employment  in  these 
days  adapted  to  its  wants,  whether  natural  or  artificial. 

Tho?c  who  lef^  the  ca^f  and  quiet  of  their  curlv  linmc<?  hohind  them, 
aii'l  bravely  met  tin-  hiirJships  incident  to  all  new  jseltlcuieuts,  and  espe- 
cially iu  lortner  days,  will  be  seen,  as  a  general  rule,  to  have  reaped 
larger  and  better  results  from  their  mingled  toil  uud  endurance,  than 
those  who  shrank  IVom  ^uch  clforts  to  improve  their  eircumiistaQccs. 
Among  the  many  partialitiea  of  history,  and  its  long  passages  of  silenoe 
over  mnch  nnrecorded  worth,  stand  coDspicuous  the  many  tales  of  manly 
and  womanly  toil  and  endurance — the  mnltiplied  experiences  of  want 
and  woe,  of  sickness  and  sorrow,  meekly  and  smilingly  met  and  conquered 
by  our  progenitors  over  all  the  land,  that  onoe  might  have  been  told  to 
wondering  ears,  but  now  must  be  fni'^ottiMi  on  oarth  forever.  Those  who 
bought  large  tracts  of  land,  when  land  was  cheap,  and  put  them.sclves  the 
stamp  upon  their  broad  acres  of  their  own  hanly  enterprise,  will  be  seen 
by  tho^o  whn  oh^^ervc  the  connections  ^n'\  fjcqnciiccs  of  thinir*^.  to  have 
founded  families  in  targe  uumbers  which  are  now  among  the  foremost  in 
the  land. 

The  special  homes  of  the  family,  its  centres  of  largest  growth  and 
8treni;th,  have  been  Windsor,  Northampton,  Coventry,  Lebanon,  Wood- 
bury, GoIcbMter,  Durham,  and  Chatham— all  but  Northampton  in  Con> 
neeticot— and  in  New  York,  Setauket,  L.  I.,  Blooming  Grove  in  Orange 
Co.,  Durham  and  Windham  in  Greene  Co.,  Lansiog  in  Tompkins  Co.,  N.  Y., 
and  Hnntsburgh,  0* 

The  great  rosss  of  the  Strongs  for  numbers—  twooihir  ls  nearly  of  all 
that  the  author  has  been  able  to  trace  —  have  been  the  ilt  sccridants  of 
three  out  of  sixteen  of  the  eighteen  children  of  Elder  John  Stnmg,  that 
lived  to  establish  families  of  their  own,  Thomas,  Jedediah,  and  Eben- 
ezer  ^tronjr. 

AniKiii:  the  most  frequent  n;uno«to  lie  f  nmtl  among  the  Strongs — next 
to  John,  William,  and  Henry,  thu.Hc  universal  favorites  —  are  the  scrip- 
tural names,  Joseph,  Eli  jnh,  Samuel,  Nathan,  David,  JouaLhauaud  Daniel, 
and  especially  Benajah,  i'iiinehas,  Sclah  and  Salmon.  The  more  odd  and 
anconth  any  name  was  the  more  likely  was  it,  when  once  worn  by  an  honor^ 
bearer  of  it,  to  be  per|>etaated  from  one  generation  to  another. 

Oor  fathers  were  no  less  fond  of  nicknames  for  their  offspring  then  are 
their  modern  representatives;  but,  instead  of  calling  them  as  we  do, 
Nellie,  Carrie,  Lixsie,  Minnie,  Nettie,  Charley,  Willie,  Harry,  Frank,  and 
Jenny,  they  used  the  less  euphonious  names  of  Hct-^cy,  Dchby  (Deborah), 
Bncy  (Experience),  Nabby  (Abigail),  Nanny,  Pannny  (Damelia),  Patty, 
Peggy,  Polly,  Tempy,  (Temperance),  Molly,  Billy,  Jack.

The  various  modes  of  spelling  the  same  OhristiaD  name  whicli  abound 
in  the  land  the  author  has  reduced  in  the  records  of  this  book  to  their 
one  £;encrallj  accepted  form.  To  tlio  <li.«pn>ifi(.Ti  prevalent  in  these 
days,  to  make  pet  names,  both  ii)a>-(  uliiH'  and  Icmiuine,  end  in  ?V,  he  has 
nnt  yielded.  Such  names  as  Abby.  Fanny,  Sally  and  the  like  he  eannot 
luake  up  liis  uiind  to  wi  iic  Abbie,  Fuuuio,  and  SalHe.  Jenny  and  Jcauio 
(the  Fieueh  original  of  our  English  form  of  the  namu)  ajipear  with  equal 
frequency  in  tbe  book,  but  never  Jennie.  No  one  appeilatiTO  has,  it  is 
believed,  such  a  great  Tarietj  of  orthographic  forms  as  Sibyl,  which  often 
occurs  as  Sybil,  Sybbil,  Sybbel,  Sybbyl,  Sybal,  SibaU,  Sibel,  Sibil,  Stb- 
ball,  Sibbil,  and  Sibble.  That  love  of  the  grotesque,  accordingly,  which 
is  so  strong  a  characteristic  of  Ameriean  humor,  and  in  which  most  gene- 
alogists  indulije  themselves,  in  copying  the  records  of  other  times,  care- 
fully  repeating  and  preBcrving  for  the  amusement  or  astonishment  of  all 
reader?!,  the  various  misspellings  that  they  find  of  the  names  of  their  fore- 
fathers, the  auihnr  ha.s  not  allowed  to  disfif^nre  those  pages.  He  nnprht 
have  sprinkled  them  plentifnlly  with  Kuch  hiiieim.-;  forms  of  otir  familiar 
Christian  names,  as  these  madi'  by  ignorant  town-clerks  and  olUeraj  Li- 
dcah  for  J^ydia;  Looesah  ami  i..uezcr  fur  Louisa;  Claricy  for  Clarissa; 
EUsibirth  for  Elizabeth  ;  Febco  fur  Phebe ;  Oiciza  for  Eliza;  3Iargrit  for 
Margaret :  Phydelia  for  Fidelia;  Unisfor  Eunice ;  or  Elizander  for  Alex- 
ander ;  Elifelit  fbr  EUphalet ;  Jeams  for  James  $  Orasha  for  Horatio ; 
PhiUop  for  Philip,  &c.,  &e.  So,  some  persons  paint  pictures;  and  the 
more  mechanical  they  are  in  their  ideas,  the  more  they  feel  bound  to  pre- 
sent the  faces  of  their  ancestors  with  all  the  warts  and  moles  and  patohea 
that  they  happen  to  see  fastened  in  any  way  upon  them. 

Genealogies  are  almost  universally  so  arranged,  as  to  give  so  much  diffi- 
culty to  the  reader  in  tracing  out  his  own  immediate  relatives,  that  he 
shrinks  from  the  needful  effort  in  any  but  a  limited  way ;  and  he  soon 
put?  his  family  history  npon  the  shelf,  and  treat^s  it  only  as  a  kind  of 
gazetteer  tor  occasional  and  brirf'  c  nsultation  on  mere  ]inints  of  specific 
interest.  Those  beloniri"^  to  a  ijiven  generatiou  are  all  presented  to- 
gether in  one  view;  the  antecedent  and  sequent  connections  of  any  indi- 
vidual family  must  be  carefully  and  repetitiously  sought  fur,  one  by  one  ; 
and  this  as  if  for  the  first  time  on  every  new  occasion  when  the  desire  to 
examine  one's  lines  of  family  relationship  arises  in  the  heart.  In  this 
book,  on  the  contrary,  the  history  of  each  branch  of  the  family  at  large, 
and  of  every  specific  family  belonging  to  it,  is  pursued  from  its  b^inning 
to  its  end,  by  itself,  and  each  one's  own  particular  kindred,  whether  near 
or  far  off,  are  prcdented  together  in  one  et^nnccte^l  view.  Tbo  reader  does 
not  need  to  make  any  investigations  for  himself,  hut  may  enjoy,  at  his 
leisure,  the  results  of  the  author's  researehes  in  his  behalf.

Sketch  of  Hie  Early 


A  BRIEF  SKETCH  OF  THE  EARLY  HISTORY  OF 

NORTHAMPTON. 

Nortliamptoa  has  ever  been  the  chief  home  of  the  Strong  family,  whioby 
nDder  ito  own  and  odier  names  (Baker,  Glapp,  Clark,  Kingsley,  Lymao, 
eto.)»  u  lari^ly  represented  there  still.  A  brief  sketch  of  the  early  bistoiy 
of  that  place  will  aid  any,  not  preTionsly  acquainted  with  it,  to  look  more 
vnderstandingly  into  the  etery-day  ezperienoes  of  those  who  first  took 
poBBSssion  of  it  in  the  name  of  God,  for  themaeWes  and  their  posterity. 

Tho  settlemeot  of  Northamptoa  (called  by  the  Indians  Nonotnek  or 
Nobwottuj^c)  was  begun  October  29,  1654,  by  some  twenty  persons,  who 
came  from  Springfield,  Mass.,  for  the  purpose.  Its  present  name  is  sup- 
p:iscd  to  luivc  been  gi%'en  to  it  by  Jobn  King,  one  of  its  first  settirr?,  who 
had  come  from  Northampton,  En<^laiHl,  or  if  nut  by  him,  by  the  others  as 
a  matter  of  respect  for  him.  They  bought  nine  miles  square  of  the  In- 
dians by  permisaioa  ul  the  General  court  for  one  hundred  fathoms  of 
wampum,  a  few  prosenta  to  the  iudiaas,  one  of  which  was  a  woman,  and 
tbe  plonghing  of  sixteen  acres  of  corn.  The  deed  was  made  to  one  per- 
son, Col.  Jobn  Pynohon  of  Springfield. 

Tbey  went  thither  as  tbey  stated  for  tbe  public  weal  (being  straitened  as 
they&It  for  want  of  room  at  Springfield),  "to  raise  corn  and  cstUe,  to  Hve, 
and  to  attend  upon  God  in  his  holy  ordioanoes  without  distraction."  All 
the  early  settlers  were  ao<K}rdiugly  keepers  of  flocks,  and  tillers  of  the  earth. 
Tho  artfi  that  were  in  special  favor  for  a  long  time,  because  so  specially 
needful,  were  those  of  carpentry,  coopering,  blacksniithing,  tanning,  shoe- 
making  and  weaving.  No  organized  public  action  was  had  until  1058, 
when  tho  lir»t  town-meeting  was  held,  and  on  June  7  of  that  year,  llev. 
Eleazar  Mather  of  Dorcliestcr  was  ''desired  to  be  a  minister  unto  them, 
iu  the  way  ot  trial  in  dispensing  \\\n  giflf."  He  canic  with  others  from 
Windsor  and  Hartford;  and  iu  June,  1001,  wa^  formally  ordained  pastor 
of  the  first  ohurob.  Of  that  church  Jobn  Strong,  who  removed  to 
Northampton  in  1659,  from  Wiodsor,  Ct.,  was  one  of  the  chief  founders, 
as  he  was  also  long  afterwards  a  pillar  in  it 

A  meeting-house  forty-two  feet  squsre  was  ordered  in  1661  to  be  con- 
structed, which  seventy-six  years  afterwards  fell  in  with  a  terrible  crash 
(March  18,  1737),  during  the  Sabbath  morning  service,  icjuring  many, 
bat  killing  none. 

Indians  abounded  for  along  time  in  the  settlement,  and  often  were  vio- 
lent.  Even  in  Windsor,  as  late  as  1G70,  there  were  nineteen  Indians  to

one  wbite  person.  A  gaard  of  fifty  soldiers  was  maintained  in  Northamp- 
ton in  1675,  by  day  and  night,  throu«;hout  the  year  In  1677  the  meet- 
iiiL'  }i  iu.<e  was  protected  by  a  palisade,  as  in  1690  was  in  fact  the  whole 
town.  An  oaken  door  filled  with  spikes,  marked  1708,  was  shown  for 
many  years,  as  a  curiosity  in  tlie  town.  What  a  picture  of  trials  is  pre- 
aeuttid  to  view  in  the  following  account,  found  ou  recordii  at  Northampton, 
wilder  date  of  May  13,  1704;  "  Joha  Taylor,  Samuel  Janes,  his  wife  and 
8  oliildreo,  Beaoni  JmD«8  and  2  children,  John  Searle  and  3  ehildren,  Dea. 
Benjamin  Janes  and  4  ehildren,  Moees  Hntehinson  and  okild,  and  Fa- 
tienee  Webb  (21).  were  killed  by  Indiana  at  Pasoomao  (apart  of  Uie  town). 
Deerfield  was  destrojed  Cke  same  year  by  tkem ;  and  five  of  John  Stebbina' 
grandchildren  were  captured  and  never  returned*"  In  1746  a  watch  honae 
was  built  in  every  little  neighborhood;  or  some  given  dwelling  honae  was 
fortified,  so  as  lo  be  a  place  of  refuge  in  the  event  of  any  sudden  danger. 
^Irs.  Phebe  (Lyman)  Strong  (mother  of  Gov.  Caleb  Strong),  who  was  born 
Aug.  20,  1717,  used  to  say.  that  one  day  when  a  child  she  was  on  her  way 
to  the  block-house  with  a  playmate,  towards  night  fall,  and  that,  as  they 
stepped  aside  to  gather  flowers,  an  Indian  rushed  suddenly  out  of  some 
bushes  near  by,  aud  seizing  her  companion,  bore  her  off,  and  that  she  was 
never  aoen  agun  by  her  friends. 

They  had  for  a  long  jmriod  no  atreets  or  roadt,  bat  only  paths  from  house 
to  hoQse.  For  a  hundred  years  or  more  after  the  first  settlement  of  the 
town,  it  waa  a  week'a  journey  for  m»n  and  korae  to  go  to  Boston ;  and  the 
path  was  diatinguisbable  by  marks  out  upon  the  treea  through  the  long 
stretch  of  forest  that  lay  between  the  two  places. 

From  a  journal  kept  by  Major  Timothy  Dwight  of  Northampton  (father 
of  Pres.  Dwight  of  Yale)  it  appears  that  in  1750  prices  of  staple  articles 
ranged  a-s follows:  Mutton  per  lb.  2  cents  ;  beef  cents;  butter  6  cents; 
and  flour  1 H  cents,  or  $'A.uO  per  bbl.  Wild  animals  abounded  ;  peltry  was 
cheap,  and  turs  that  now  cost  fifty  or  a  hundred  dollars  cost  then  but  a 
few  shillings.  It  m  recorded  of  Capt.  Aaron  Cook  that  he  killed  tweuty- 
ficven  wolves  in  three  years,  or,  one  every  six  weeks  during  that  time. 

Our  Norihampton  ftthers  liyed  in  a  aimplo  demoerscy.  A  very  few 
only  were  distinguished  by  any  oifil  titles.  Miniaters,  aehool-teaohera, 
Jusdoe  Joseph  I^uaons  and  Lt.  Wm.  CUrk  had  the  honorable  title  of  Mr. 
In  militaiy  ofiees  and  titlea  they  specially  rejoiced.  They  were  the  Lord's 
aoldiers  in  feeling,  defenders  of '*the  fhith  once  delivered  unto  the  saints," 
membets  of  the  church  militant  on  earth  ;  and  in  making  for  themselvee  a 
new  home  on  these  wild  shores  they  found  for  many  years  that  the  sword 
could  no  more  be  dropped  out  of  hand  than  the  hoe.  In  1712,  the  town 
voted  to  support  a  grammar  school,  which  has  beeu  ever  since  niaintained. 

For  any  account  of  the  difTicultics  of  }*res.  Edwards'  d:iy,  the  explorer 
of  the  Northampton  reeoiilri  will  search  in  vain.  Major  .Joseph  Hawley,

Hawley  for  ueglecting  to  record  great  naiubers  of  dates,  wliich  now  would 
be  much  valued  if  they  oonld  be  obtuned. 

Early  in  tbeir  history  they  had  sumptuary  lawa.  In  1651  the  law  was 
passed  by  the  General  court  that  **  persons,  whose  estates  are  leas  than  £200, 
shall  not  wear  gold  or  rilver  laoe,  gold  or  siWer  buttons,  bone  laee  aboTe  2t. 
per  yard,  silk  hoods  orsoarfs,  apon  penalty  of  10«.  foreaoh  offense."  Those 
who  wore  ribbons,  great  boots  (leather  I  <  trrr  scarce),  points  at  the  kneeS, 
might  be  taxed  at  a  £200  estate.  "  The  law  did  not  extend  to  any  magis- 
trate, or  public  officer,  their  wives  and  children,  nor  to  military  officers  or 
soldiers  in  service,  nor  to  those  whose  education  and  em ploymeut  have  been 
above  the  ordinary  degree,  nor  to  those  who  have  had  considerable  estate, 
though  uow  decayed."  The  account  book  of  otie  of  the  leading  etorekecpers 
at  Northampton  for  some  years  before  and  alter  1760  showb  the  mauuers 
of  the  times.  **  His  most  oommon  business  was  selling  nails  and  other 
things  for  buildings;  buttons,  lining,  twist  silk,  etc.,  for  garmi»nts."  The 
sale  of  trimmings  for  garments  was  very  extensive.  All  families  had  but- 
tons,  silk,  mohair  and  some  lining,  and  most  had  in  addition  budtram,  tape 
and  wadding,  with  expensive  lining^  of  shalloon.  Baise  was  muoh  used 
about  garments,  for  linings.  The  great  business  of  the  countxy'trader  was 
selling  trimmings,  rather  than  the  woolen  cloth  for  their  garments*  The 
gowns  of  females  were  not  so  important  as  other  things  that  they  wore,  being 
manufactured  at  home.  They  had  many  trimminjrs  and  aprons,  scarfs, 
hoods,  stay?,  and  articles  about  the  neck.  There  were  no  bonnets  worn 
then,  and  ilie  traders  sold  nothing  bcloriLring  to  the  head,  and  very  little 
for  the  feet.  Some  had  fur  hula  from  tUu  hatter ;  others,  lioods,  euifs,  etc. ; 
thoy  kuit  most  of  their  own  stockings.  Most  o(  the  common  gurmonlii  of 
the  men  were  made  of  cloth  manulketared  at  home,  coarse  but  substantial. 

Smoking  was  very  oommon  as  early  as  1700  and  the  farmers  of  that  region 
seem  to  have  raised  their  own  tobaeco,  then  as  now ;  and  that  they  were 
held  to  sufficiently  strict  rules  in  any  public  use  of  it,  is  apparent  from 
the  fact  that  on  June  29, 1649,  Hugh  Parsons  was  fined  at  Springfield 
10«.  "  for  taking  tobacco  in  the  open  street"  (not  a  bad  law  the  ladies 
will  say  to  have  and  enforce  in  our  day);  and  on  May  30,  164d,  James 
Bridgman  was  fined  there,     for  takini:;  tobacco  in  his  yard." 

Some  of  tlie  darker  fcMitures  of  those  early  ancestral  days  are  presented  in 
the  folli»winu' pieture  of  the  times:  Mrs.  Mary  (Bliss)  i^'arsons^  wife  of  Joseph 
Parsons,  senior,  of  Northamj>ton  was  accused  of  witchcraft  in  t"^ept.,  1674. 
lleiug  called  to  speak  for  herself,  she  did  a.ssert  her  own  innoeency,  often 
mentioning  it,  how  clear  she  was  of  such  a  crime,  and  that  the  righteous 
Qodknew  her  innoceiu-y ;  with  whom  she  had  left  her  oause."  The 
charge  was,  that  Mary,  the  daughter  of  James  Bridgman  and  wife  of

14:  History  of  John  Strony, 


HISTORY  OF  JOHN  STRONG. 

That  the  Strongs  of  England,  Ireland  aud  Scotland  are  of  ft  different, 
origin  respectively,  would  seem  to  be  manifest  from  the  varinty  of  their 
family-creets.  The  crest  of  the  Strongs  of  Ireland  is  a  lion  rauipart,  azure, 
supporting  a  pillar  argent  (or  silver);  of  thoisc  of  Scotland,  a  cluster  of 
grapes  stalked  and  leaved )  while  of  those  of  England  there  is  a  threefold 
▼ariety  of  orest  One  of  them  is,  out  of  a  nutral  ooroDet,  gold,  %  deni- 
eagle,  wings  displayed,  gold ;  anothw  18  an  eagle  with  tiro  beads,  iringi 
expanded :  the  third  form  of  creat  is  an  oagle  displayedf  gold.  An  eagle 
with  win0i  expanded  eharaoterises  diem  all  alike.  Whioh  of  the  three 
forms  of  orest  belongs  to  the  Strongs  of  this  country,  the  author  has  no 
means  of  determining.  Persons  consulting  books  of  heraldic  symbols  seem 
to  have  selected,  on  the  principle  of  choosing  the  best,  the  first  of  the  three 
English  crests  described  ns  that  of  the  American  branch  of  the  family. 
No  ouo  of  whom  the  author  baa  heard  has  in  bis  possession  any  silver  tank- 
ard, or  other  family  relic,  on  which  the  real  ensigns  armorial  of  the  family 
are  engraved.  If  the  crest  with  a  mural  coronet  belongs  to  us  the  expla- 
uatiuu  of  it  will  perhaps  be  worth  the  having,  that  such  a  coronet  was 
•ndently  given  to  the  man,  who  trst  sealed  the  walls  of  an  enemy's  city 
or  entered  by  a  breaeh.  The  rim  of  saeh  a  eoronet  was  made  to  resemble 
battlements. 

If  there  is  snj  motto  bebnging  to  the  ensigns  srmorial  of  the  Strongs, 

the  author  knows  not  what  it  is.  It  was  early  represented  to  him  hy  some 
members  of  tlii  familyi  that  there  was  a  motto  handed  down  to  as  by  our 
aneestOTS,  for  the  ever  new  inspiration  of  manly  virtue  in  oar  hearts;  and 
a  grand  motto  it  was  for  the  practical  wisdom  that  it  onvcys:  Trntuiula 
est  via!  they  said  that  it  was;  and  it  is  surely  good  enough  to  be  written 
in  letters  of  gold  over  the  portals  of  any  human  pathway  lending  onwards 
and  upwards.  It  has  in  it  the  sap  and  strength  of  a  dozen  ur  more  of  our 
best  proverbs,  such  as  '*Try  again  :  "  "  Isothiug  venture  nothiug  have  :  " 
**  First  he  sare  yon  are  right,  then  go  ahead : "  **  Whatever  is  worth  doing 
at  all  is  worth  doing  in  the  best  manner  possible:"  "Praotioe  makes  per- 
fect:" Don't  give  up  the  ship:"  "Faint  heart  never  won  fhir  lady:" 
**  Perseveranoe  conquers  all  things:"  Work  and  wait:"  «Do  or  die:" 
"  Real  success  is  worth  alt  that  it  cust.^."  The  author  has  put  this  motto 
fully  to  the  proof  in  the  preparation  of  this  work ;  and  he  reoommends  it  to 
aU|  young  and  old|  as  invaluable  in  the  work  of  life,  in  the  pursuit  of  what- 
ever good  one  may  wish  to  obtain.   He  is  sorry  to  be  eompeUed  to  drop  it

as  tlie  family  motto.  It  belongs  to  the  Strong©  Family  of  Lymaa  Abbey  —  a 
baronetcy  created  in  the  last  century — whose  crest  isan  eagle  displayed  with

Family.  If  we  eannot  beast^  aa  we  woold  not  if  we  eonid,  of  deaeent  ftom 
the  kioga  and  ooblee  of  other  landa,  we  may  well  feel  an  honeat  pride  in 
an  ancestry  whose  wealth  was  wealth  of  oharacter,  and  whoae  patent  of 
nobility  they  obtained  from  above  in  following  through  storm  and  ahine 
the  footsteps  of  prophets  and  apostlea  and  of  the  Son  of  God. 

The  Strong  Family  of  England  was  orijiinally  located  in  the  county  of 
Shropshire.  One  of  the  family  married  an  heircssof  Griflith,of  the  county 
of  Caernarvon,  Wales,  and  went  thither  to  reside  in  1545.  Kichard  Strong 
was  of  this  branch  of  the  family,  and  was  b(>rn  in  the  county  of  Cacruarvou 
in  1561.  In  1590  he  removed  to  Taunton,  Soiuersetahire,  England,  where 
be  died  in  1613,  leaving  a  sod  John  then  eight  years  of  age,  and  a  daughter 
Eleanor.  The  aame  ia  stated  in  one  reoord,  on  what  anthority  the  writer 
knows  not,  tobavebeen  originally  McStraehan  and  to  ha^egone  through  the 
following  ehangea,  MeStraehan}  Straohan,  Straehn,  Strung.  John  Strong 
was  bom  in  Tannton,  Eng.^  in  1605,  whence  he  removed  to  London  and 
afterwards  to  Plymouth.  Havi  ng  strong  Puritan  sympatbiea  he  sailed  from 
Plymouth  for  the  new  world,  March  20, 1630,  in  company  with  140  per- 
sons, and  among  them  Itev.  Messrs.  John  Warham  and  John  Maverick  and 
Messn.  John  Mason  and  Roger  Clapp,  in  the  ship  Mary  and  .John  (Capt. 
Squeb)  and  arrived  at  Xantasket,  Mass.  (Hull),  about  twelve  miles  south- 
oast  from  Boston,  after  a  passage  of  more  than  seventy  day^  in  length,  on 
Sunday,  May  30.  1G30.  The  uri<^inal  destination  of  the  ve.^scl  was  Chjirles 
river  ;  but  au  unfortuuuic  mitiunderstundiug  which  arose  between  the  cap- 
tain and  the  paasengera,  reaulted  in  their  being  put  summarily  ashore  by 
him  at  Nantaaket.  After  aearehiAg  for  a  few  days,  for  a  good  plaee  in 
which  toaettle  and  make  homes  for  thenuelvea,  they  decided  upon  the  apot, 
wbieh  they  called  Dorchester,  in  memoiy  of  the  endeared  home  in  England 
which  many  of  them  had  left,  and  eapecially  of  ita  rerered  pastor,  Ke?. 
John  White,  "  the  great  patron  of  New  England  emigration,"  who  bad 
especially  encouraged  them  to  come  hither. 

The  grandfather  of  £lder  John  Strong  was,  as  tradition  informs  us,  a 
Roman  Catholic,  and  lived  to  a  p;reat  age.  The  Stronir  Family  has  borne 
out  remarkably,  in  o:irlior  ^generations  in  this  country  at  any  rate,  the 
bi^iturical  ^etiuineiioss  oi  its  name,  in  its  wide-spread  charnctoristic.-*  of  phy- 
sical vigor  and  lon^'ovity,  and  tlie  larj^e  size  of  very  many  of  il±j  numerous 
household)^.  There  are  a  few  fumilies  of  Strongs  in  the  land,  some  half 
doaen  only,  &o  far  as  the  author  has  been  able  to  find  that  are  not  de- 
aoended  from  Elder  John  Stroug.  For  a  brief  account  of  those  that  he

Bleanor  Starong  oaoM  wi^  lut  brother  Jokn  to  tiiifl  oonntij,  when  h« 
wtB  but  fcw6Dty«fiT6  yean  of  age,  and  abe  watt  probably  aeveral  yean  younger, 
and  married  Walter  Deane,  a  tanQor,  of  Tattnton,  Maaa.,  prenoiialy  of 
Taaoton,  Kng.,  and  became  the  mother  of  four  aona  and  one  daughter. 
He  waa  bom  about  1617,  and  was  a  prominent  man  in  the  aflElin  of  his 
new  home.  Her  desoendauts  have  been  numerous  and  highly  respectable. 
For  various  accounts  of  some  of  them  see  N.  E.  Qm.  MegiUeff  pnbiished 
at  Boston  in  several  volumes,  in  various  places. 

In  168;j,  after  iiavini;  asHlstciI  in  Ibumling  and  developing  the  town  of 
Dorchester,  John  Strong  removed  to  Uingham,  Mass.,  and  on  March  9, 
1636,  look  the  freeman's  oath  at  Boston.     His  stay  at  Hin^liani  was  short, 

on  Dec.  4,  10:J8,  he  is  I'uuud  to  have  been  au  lubabiLaui.  and  proprietor 
of  Taunton,  Maaa.,  and  to  have  been  made  in  that  year  a  fireeman  of  Ply- 
mouth Colony.  He  remained  at  Taunton,  as  late  at  any  rate  aa  1645,  as 
he  waa  a  depnty  thence  to  the  General  court  in  Plymouth,  in  1641,  'S, 
and  '4«  From  Taunton  he  remored  to  Windaor,  Ct,  where  he  waa  ap- 
pointed with  four  othen,  Capt,  John  Maaon,  Roger  Ludlow,  brael  Stongb- 
ton,  and  Henry  Wolcott,  all  very  leading  men  in  the  infant  colony,  "  to 
Buperintond  and  bring  forward  the  settlement  of  that  place,"  which  had 
been  settled  a  few  years  before  (1636)  by  a  portion  of  the  same  colony 
that  with  him  hid  f^itinded  Dorchester.  Windsor  waa  in  fact  called  at 
first,  and  for  several  years  (1G3G-50),  Dorchester. 

Tn  1659  he  removed  from  Windsor  to  Northanipton,  Mass.,  of  which 
lie  was  one  of  the  fir!»t  and  most  active  I'ouiiders.  a.s  he  had  heen  previ- 
ouiiiy  of  Dorchester,  Iliughatn,  iauntuu,and  Wiiidbor.  In  ^lurthampton 
he  lived  for  forty  years,  and  waa  a  leading  man  in  the  a&ira  of  the  town 
and  of  the  church.  He  waa  a  tanner  and  very  prosperous  in  hia  buaineaa. 
His  tannery  waa  located  on  what  is  now  the  southwest  corner  of  Market 
and  Main  atreeta  near  the  rail  road  depot.  He  owned  at  different  times,  aa 
appean  by  records  in  the  county  olerk'a  office,  some  two  hundred  acres  of 
land  in  and  around  Northampton. 

How  he  obtained  his  office  and  title  as  Elder  John  Strong  will  appear 
by  tlie  following  quotation  from  the  church  records  at  Northampton  t 
"  After  solemn  and  extraordinary  seeking  to  God  for  his  direction  and 
blcisiiing,  the  oluirch  ehuse  John  Strong  rulins?  elder,  and  William  Holton, 
deacon.  They  were  orrljiined  13:  3  mo;  'ti3  "  (or,  the  year  beginning 
then  iu  March,  June  lo,  IGGo,  O.  S.,  or  N.  S.  June  24,  1663),  '*  the  elder 
by  the  imposition  of  the  hands  of  the  paator  "  (Rev.  Eleazar  Mather)  and 
Mr.  Ruasel  of  Hadley— the  deacon,  afterwarda  by  the  imposition  of  the 
hands  of  the  pastor  and  elder.  Mr.  Rossell,  Mr.  Goodwin,  and  brother 
Goodman  were  present  from  Hadley;  Dea.  Ohapin  and  Mr.  Holyoke  from 
Springfield,  who  gave  the  right  hand  of  fellowship  to  these  delegates." 
How  near  to  the  minister  himself,  so  greatly  revered,  the  ruling  elder 
stood  in  the  thonghta  of  our  Pilgrim  fathers,  is  manifest  from  the  fune^

see  every  one  oi  bis  men  coolly  ehot  before  hii)  eyes. 
While  in  the  hands  of  the  rebels,  Strong  was  bold  in 
denouncing  their  spirit  and  oondnot,  and  thej  determined 
to  subdue  him.  At  one  time  they  hung  him  to  a  tree 
and  left  him  there  until  ho  whk  nearly  dead.  At  another 
time  they  tied  his  bauds  behind  him,  and  let  him  down 
into  a  eiatem  where  in  atanding  on  the  tips  of  his  toes, 
the  water  was  np  to  his' month.  He  survived  theae 
trials,  and  was  at  la.st  incarcerated  in  a  prison  pen  in 
Alabama,  from  which  after  several  months'  severe  suffer- 
ing, he  was  released  by  exchange  of  prisoners,  and  started 
for  hie  western  home.  Arrived  at  Memphis  be  went  on 
board  the  steamer  Express  which  blew  up  as  it  was  leav* 
ing  the  wharf,  and  hundreds  of  brave  Union  soldiers 
crowding  its  decks  were  killed,  wounded  and  drowned  in 
the  sad  catastrophe.  Strong  was  blown  out  into  the 
middle  of  the  stream,  but  was  unbnrt  and  swam  ashore, 
landing  about  a  mile  below  the  eity.    His  ohildren :

it£  descent  in  some  of  its  liniss,  and  had  come  to  misconceive  its  very 
direction,  thinking  theniselvea  descendants,  very  wrongly,  of  Jedediah 
Strong  of  Coventry,  Ct.  In  a  published  account  of  their  festival,  they 
said,  "  From  Jedediah  Strong  to  Adonijah  there  is  a  break  iu  the  records 
which  it  is  hoped  and  expected  will  he  hereafter  some  day  supplied  and 
any  one  who  can  furnish  any  iuformation  on  the  subject  will  confer  a 
&vor  by  doing  so."  It  gave  the  anther  qiedal  pleasore  to  be  able  to 
inform  this  large  fitmily  of  Strongs  of  their  lostlineage.]  Adonijah  Strong 
had  twelve  children :

to  Tovcntry,  in  March,  1716,  seven  years  after  the  first  settlement  of  that 
town.  He  wa«  a  farmer,  and  a  uuin  of  property  and  eonsiJeration.  He 
held  various  town  offices  of  importiiiic(>,  ns  town  treasurer  in  171 II  ;  select- 
man for  ssix  years  ;  and  justice  of  the  peace  for  many  years  from  1723

There  were  two  8*»sbions  yearly  of  the  Legislature,  in  May  and  October,

90  years  old.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Colonial  Legistatnre  for  the  last

markable  physical  vitality,  and  a  fine  specimen  of  the  Scata  mentin  satio

sending  such  a  venerable  man  to  the  Assembly.  He  and  his  sons  "

derived  much  of  the  aecouut  here  jjiveu  of  Justice  .Joseiih  Strong  and  his

arobitions  of  owning  a  farm  and  generally  did  own  one.  I  do  not  think 
that  any  of  the  Strongs  were  meehaoies.  The  settlers  who  came  from 
Northampton,  Hsdiey,  etc.,  were  men  of  some  means  and  came  to  this  town 
in  uiy  opinion  for  the  sake  of  peace.  The  history  of  the  river-towns  in 
Msssachusetts,  even  down  to  Springfield,  was  a  bloody  one.  I  do  not

Strong,  continually  inspired  and  cherished  the  desire  fur  mental  and  moral 
improvement  in  hU  young  mind.  He  entered  Yale  Coll.,  in  1769,  wliefe 
he  distinguished  himself  aa  a  scholar,  especially  ia  the  languages,  and  as 
a  man  of  fine  literary  taste,  and  of  easy  and  eloqoent  speech,  and  was  grad. 
in  1773,  among  the  honorable  ones  of  a  olsas  whose  subsequeot  history 
proved  that  it  had  many  yonng  men  of  aoperior  talent  in  it  During  the 
two  yeara  after  he  left  mllege  he  taught  school  with  great  fast  and  ae* 
oeptance  :iL  East  Hnddam,  and  New  London,  Ot.  He  was  five  feet  10 
inches  high,  of  a  fine  and  commanding  figure,  having  a  broad  chesl,  full 
fiwe,  blue  eyes,  light  complexion  and  brown  hair,  and  was  very  muscular 
and  agile.  His  features  were  bright  with  the  vigor  and  vivacity  of  health, 
and  with  i^trong  good  sense  and  mo.st  kindly  feeling.  He  wu8  in  truth  a 
man  of  genius,  very  affectionate  in  his  disposition,  ne?it  in  his  personal 
appearance,  of  refined  :iddre^«,  and  of  erirncst  hubits  of  iiitelicctUiil  indus- 
try and  [iro^res^,  impres.'^ing  all  who  know  him  with  th»»  ni;itiy  superior 
characteri.sLics  ul  his  heart  and  life.  When  the  news  ot"  the  battle  at  liex- 
inu'ton  f  April  19,  1775),  reached  New  Loadou,  Hale  was  aiinmg  the  first 
to  hull  aefiance  at  the  spirit  of  Hriti>li  a.'irressioii  in  public,  sayin.:  in  a 
meeting  called  at  once  for  dcliberatiuu  by  the  audiorilics  uf  the  tuwn  : 

Let  us  march  immediately  and  never  lay  down  our  arms  until  we  obtain 
our  independence.*'  He  enrolled  at  once  as  a  volunteer,  and  the  next 
morniog  closed  his  school  for  the  dme  being  with  affectionate  counsel  to 
his  pupils,  and  prayer,  shak  i  tig  them  each  by  the  hand.  "  A  sense  of  duty*' 
he  said,  urged  him  to  sacrifice  e?ery  thing  for  his  eountry."  School 
keeping,"  he  said  afterwarda  ia  a  note  addressed  to  the  proprietors  of  the 
school,  "is  a  business  of  which  I  was  always  fond;  but  aince  my  resi- 
dence  in  this  town  every  thing  has  conspired  to  render  it  more  agreeable. 
I  have  thought  much  of  never  quitting  it  but  with  life,  but  :it  present 
there  peems  to  ;m  opportunity  for  more  extended  public  service.  "  On 
July  6th,  1775,  he  enlisted  a>  Lieut,  in  the  third  company  of  the  Seventh

«( Mounted  picket  goird :  mounted  main  guard :  slept  little  or  none." 
Wben  in  November,  1775,  the  army  was  threatened  with  dissolution 
in  some  seotions  of  it  by  the  expiration  of  enlistments  he  went  around 
per^^unally  among  very  many  of  the  men  addressing  them  earnestly,  and  pro- 
mised them  that  if  they  would  remain  another  month  they  should  have 
his  wages  fur  that  time,  and  redeemed  his  pledge  in  thvi^  ptrsuadingthem  to 
stnnd  still  by  their  suffering  country  in  the  battle-field,  by  bwrowing  the 
money  of  a  brother  officer  on  the  credit  of  his  own  advance  pay.  In  April, 
1776,  he  went  with  troops  under  Genl.  Ueuth,  to  New  York.  Here  he 
captured,  by  a  bold  attack  at  niglit,  a  British  ^loopl.iden  with  supplies  ly-

aod  skilful  and  far'Seeing.    No  private  appeal  made  for  such  a  trying 
service  met  with  a  favorable  response.   A  council  of  officers  was  held,  the 
chums  of  the  painful  exigency  of  the  hour  were  presented,  aod  the  question 
was  put :  "  What  shall  be  done  7   Who  will  nudertake  this  fearful  enter-

work.  In  the  suuiLuer  of  1867  he  wrote  out  largely,  if  not  wholly,  at  Clio- 
ton,  N.  Y.,  a  volume  oq  the  diflfcrential  and  integral  calculus,  full  of  new 
prooMMft  and  results  of  his  own  origination.  In  this  splendid  treatise  he 
exhibits  the  highest  style  of  sDslytio  power  of  nntnd.  For  fifty  years  e 
ieaeher  of  the  higher  mathematies;  and  for  nearly  sixty  an  earnest  and 
sneeessfal  stadent  of  them,  he  bore  with  him  throoghont  all  his  long  life, 
tbe  characteristics  of  a  man  devoted  to  the  highest  and  best  ends  of  ha- 
man  pnrsnit.  He  was  indnstrions,  thonghtfhl,  aimple*minded,  hnmble, 
cheerful,  and  happy.  He  was  a  man  of  remarkable  gentleness  of  spirit, 
and  at  the  same  time  of  great  ardor  in  bis  moral  oonvictions.  He  ab- 
horred shams  of  all  kinds,  and  eve^'ything  X\k»  iotrigae  and  mean  insinu- 
ations and  intentions.  In  conversation,  disquisition  and  debate,  of  ail  of 
•which  he  was  qaite  fond,  hi--  eyoa  and  features  were  always  on  the  move 
with  life.  He  was  a  positive  patriot,  and  took  a  great  interest  in  tbe  po- 
litical and  social  questions  of  the  tiroes,  and  occupied  always  the  advanced 
pti^^itiotis  of"  the  hour  iu  luatter-?  of  social  reform.  He  was  a  mnn  of 
full  height  aud  breadth  in  his  physique,  of  d<irk  complexion  and  dark 
eyes,  and  of  a  very  intellectual  face.  He  wad  always  very  regular  iu  all 
his  boJily  hahlL^,  and  enjoyed  generally  robust  health.  He  pc^aessed  a 
competency  of  worldly  spoo  ls  from  the  beginning  of  his  profes.siotial  labors; 
and  while  his  life  was  eheckereil  with  many  tnal.s,  il  abounded  in  many 
and  ^roat  blerfsings  to  the  very  end.  He  wa.s  a  man  of  mo^st  decided  and 
unwavering  faith  in  the  word  of  Qod.  The  great  facts  of  revealed  reli- 
gion stood  ont  as  dear  to  his  eye  as  thoseof  mathematiesl  truth, and  thsy 
were  all  pieeioos  to  bis  heart  He  did  not  indeed  join  the  ohnroh  of 
Christ  on  earth,  beoanse  of  his  great  distrust  of  his  own  heart,  until  a 
short  time  before  his  death ;  but  he  everywhere  openly  confessed  Christ 
amcng  men  all  bis  days,  and  wss  a  man  of  childlike  &itb  in  God  and 
prayer,  and  a  great  lover  of  tbe  Bible  and  good  men.  He  said  to  the 
author,  when  almost  SO  years  of  age,  when  speaking  of  thiabcanti^l  world 
and  of  uur  grandly  appointed  life  in  it:  ''We  ought  to  go  through  life 
shouting."    Ue  d.  at  New  Brunswick,      J.,  Feb.  1, 1869.

in  pursuit  of  his  cstrays  and  fniuul  tlicni  in  the  end,  but 
not  his  littlo  sister,  when  he  returned  to  the  spot  whoro 
*  he  left  her.    6he  had  become  wearied  with  waiting  and 

started  for  home  in  the  wrong  direction.  The  whole 
neighborhood  was  aroused  at  once  to  the  search  for  the 
wandering  child.  The  mountain  side  was  the  haunt  of 
wolves,  and  puns  were  fired  and  torches  kept  blazing  all 
night  in  various  directions  to  scare  them  away.  The 
next  day  she  was  found  with  her  clothing  nearly  torn  oS 
from  ber  by  the  brambles,  through  which  she  bad  passed, 
and  told  her  parents  that  when  night  came  she  lay  down 
by  a  niopay  rock  and  called  for  each  onp  of  the  family, 
and  then  lor  the  dog,  and  cried  herself  to  sleep.  Prayer 
and  praise  were  offered  at  her  home  by  hearts  bursting 
with  gratitude  to  God  for  his  sheltering  care  of  their 
little  darling  in  the  lone  woods  through  the  dark  night.

LL.D.,  b.  Juno  29,  1766,  at  IVl athowsfield,  Orange  Co.,  N.  Y.  (son  of 
James  Mnthews  and  Hannah  Strong  —  See  ^ubKequent  page).  [Hia 
granill'aLbcr  A'iiiccnt  Mathews,  bought  a  tine  tract  of  700  nerea  back  of 
New  Windsor,  N.  Y.  (near,Kewburgh),  wl^eb  was  called  for  many  years 
**  Mftthemfield."  He  was  made  by  royal  patent  elerk  of  0»Dge  eoanty. 
In  1702,  he  went  to  IWe  on  hia  land,  in  Orange  Co.  He  d.  at  New  York, 
aged  84,  when  on  a  visit  there — just  after  the  eTaeuation  of  the  eity,  by 
the  British.  .  He  had  three  eona  and  two  daughters.  His  sons  were : 
Fletcher,  an  attorney,  in  Orange  Co. ;  BaTid,  a  lo^ist,  and  a  mayor  of 
New  York,  before  the  Bevolntion,  and  who  afW wards  removed  to  Nova 
Sootia;  and  James  who  lived  on  the  ftrm  with  his  father.  The  wife  of 
Vincent  Hadiews  was  a  Miss  Abeel.  The  father  of  Vincent  Mathews, 
Senior,  was  Peter  Mathews,  of  L.  I.] 

Gen.  Vincent  Mathews,  studied  at  the  Aeadomy,  at  Goshen,  N.  Y. 
nnder  the  care  of  Noah  Webster,  the  subsequent  lexicographer  of  his 
country,  then  a  Yankee  "  school-master  abroad  "  fl  781-4),  for  three  years, 
and  then  went  three  years  more  (1784-6)  to  a  school  at  ITackensack,  N.  J., 
unf!cr  the  care  of  Peter  Wilson  —  afterwards  Prof,  in  Kin<,\«^  Coll.  N.  Y. 
(now  Columbia  /'oil.}.  In  17^^),  he  went  to  New  York,  to  ^(ndy  law  with 
Col.  Kiiliort  Troup,  and  was  admittod  to  the  l)ar  iu  ITI'U.  11c  houj^ht  in 
1793,  a  farm  near  Klmira  (Newtown  ).  tn  which  he  removed  what  remiiiied 
of  his  father's  family  at  that  time,  and  gave  the  lariu  to  his  eldest  brother, 
lie  was  poor  at  this  time,  having  to  borrow  money  to  meet  his  ordinary  ex- 
penses, but  fiili  of  faith  in  the  future,  and  in  the  results  of  willing,  earnest 
work,  lie  went  on  horseback  with  a  fri(uiii,  t'ullowing  an  Imliau  path,  to 
Tioga  (three  miles  below  Elmiia),  where  he  setlled.  There  were  but 
three  or  four  log'houses  then  in  Elmira,  in  one  of  which  the  court  was 
held;  board  for  himself  and  horse  was  a  dollar  per  week.  He  adopted 
at  the  outset  of  his  practice  the  rule  which  he  always  followed,  that  he 
would  never  plead  a  case  in  court  in  which  his  client,  as  he  found,  was 
making  a  false  or  unworthy  issue  —  so  that  his  pleas  were  always  ac- 
cordant  with  his  real  convictions.  His  fiither  and  grandfather  were 
members  of  the  Episcopal  Church,  as  was  he  also ;  but  as  the  first,  and 
for  some  time  only  minister  at  Elinira,  was  a  Presh.  Home  Missionary,  he 
welcomed  liim  to  his  field  of  pioneer  labor,  gave  him  his  board  in  his 
own  family  for  two  years,  and  at  another  time  paid  bis  salary  himself,  be- 
sides entertaining  him  without  cost  in  his  own  house.  lie  was  elected 
twice  a  member  of  the  N,  Y.  Legislature  (1793  and  1794),  and  twice 
State  Senator,  first,  for  throe  year.s  (1790-99),  and  next,  for  four  years 
(1799-1803).  Tn  1798,  while  in  the  N.  Y.  Senate,  ho  was  appointed 
by  the  Legislature  iu  connection  with  Cliicf  .Tu^^tieo  Yitc-  nnd  Judge

kts  of  his  laige  property  at  Kluira.    His  military  title,  by  which  he  wis 
generally  known,  was  obtained  in  this  wise  :  he  was  appointed  iu  1794,

bounded industry,  wide  erudition  and  retentive  memory^  a  man  of  the

mons wore  short,  but  olear  and  pithy,  and  he  bad  great  facility  in  extern- 
porizing.  He  was  tall  and  straight,  a  msn  of  dark  oomplezion  with  an 
impressive  eye  and  striking  features,  and  was  full  of  humor  and  all  but 
unoontrollable  wit  at  times.  Work  was  but  psstime  to  him.  He  d.  Dee.

BtroDg  will  Bis  perceptions  were  quick,  his  habits  of  reasoning  oletr 
and  bgtoal,  and  his  views  oomprehensive.  As  a  pablic  speaker  he  had 
great  oomniand  of  langasge  and  foree  of  manner.  He  wis  domesiie  and 
stadioos  in  his  habits,  rather  than  social,  and  sought  not  the  honor  which 
comes  from  men.  With  the  exception  of  his  relnotant  aooeptanoe  of  a 
seat  in  two  or  three  instances  in  the  Gonneetlent  legislature,  he  aniformly 
declined  all  overtures  of  political  preferment.  He  was  invited  to  a  pro- 
fessorship of  law'in  Yale  College  which  he  also  refused.  Self-saspieiona, 
and  never  making  any  profession  of  religion,  he  yet  died  in  the  hope  of 
the  gospel.  Those  were  days  in  wliich  few  realised,  eveu  in  the  chureh| 
that  God  is  "  plenteous  in  mercy/'  and  that  so  much  does  he  welcome 
anything  in  the  human  heart  that  is  right  towards  him  that  "  he  breaks 
not  Uie  bruised  reed  nor  qnenohes  the  smoking  flax."  He  was  liberal  ui 
the  use  of  his  wealth  for  the  good  of  others,  and  loved  especially  to  con- 
tribute to  the  funds  of  the  missionary  and  benevolent  societies  of  the  day 
and  to  tlioj-e  most  wliose  aims  and  efforts  were  most  directly  evnngcHcnl. 

'•  He  justly  valued  lii^  ancestry  ;  not  with  the  vanity  which  attempts 
to  build  ;i  reputation  upon  distin^'uisiied  names,  with  little  admixture  of 
personal  worth ;  but  lor  the  real  advantages  which  it  afforded  him  for 
the  attainment  of  persoiial  exeelleQoe/'    He  d.  Nov.  12,  1852.
