Notes for REV. JOHN WHEELWRIGHT:

-from the collection of Stella Miller

"Minor in 1611 when father made will, but of age March 7, 1612/13. Catherine ____ may have been his mother."

"John Wheelwright born in England, educated at Eton, was a contemporary and intimate friend of Oliver Cromwell. "The Protector" once said of him that he was more afraid of John Wheelwright in the foot-ball field at Eton than of any enemy he encountered in later life. He was early in the colony of Mass. Bay, but was not in accord doctrinally with the ecclesiastical authorities there so as the old chroniclers say : "Coddington with seventeen others of the best men of Boston having been seduced to error, by the doctrines of Anne Hutchinson and John Wheelwright were disarmed and then banished. Most of the party removed to Rhode Island but John Wheelwright preached in Maine and New Hampshire, dying at Salisbury, N.H. in 1679."

"During the "Protectorate" he returned to England, his native land, but at the "Restoration" returned to New England. He was a distinguished preacher. His daughter Abigail, married the Reverend Abraham Pierson and their daughter Abigail Pierson married John Davenport Jr."

"In the first part of the decade immediately preceding the landing of the Pilgrims, two lads from the middle class of society, entered Sydney College at the University of Cambridge. Of these, the elder, John Wheelwright, was born on the Lincolnshire fens, not far from old Boston. His fellow student, Oliver Cromwell, first saw the light at Huntingdon.

While we have no record that either of these youths distinguished himself in his college studies, we have no scant testimony to the excellence of both in athletic sports. Cotton Mather says, that he had heard that "when Wheelwright was a young spark at the University, he was noted for a more than ordinary stroke at wrestling." Cromwell's biographer declares, that at Cambridge he was far "more famous for football, cudgelling and wrestling than for study."

Judge Bell, in his memoir of Wheelwright, quotes the Lord Protector himself, as being reported to have said, "I remember the time when I was more afraid of meeting Wheelwright at football, than I have been since of meeting an army in the field, for I was infallibly sure of being tripped up by him.

It was hardly to be expected that these pugnacious young athletes would have no convictions, or would prudently refrain from expressing their sentiments on subjects, that were at that time rending the political and religious world. As vicar of the little hamlet of Bilsby in Lincolnshire, John [p.36] Wheelwright became recognized as a Puritan leader. Silenced for non-conformity, about 1633, Wheelwright naturally followed many of his Lincolnshire friends and neighbors to America, landing in Boston, May 26, 1636. Here he was warmly welcomed by his wife's brother, William Hutchinson and by Rev. John Cotton, to whose preaching in St. Botolph's church in old Boston, he had often listened.

Soon admitted to the church in Boston, the brilliant young Puritan divine became such a favorite with the people, that many wished him to be settled with Pastor Wilson and Mr. Cotton, as second teacher of the church in Boston. Cotton favored the plan, but Wilson and Winthrop opposed it, on the ground that Wheelwright, to a certain extent, shared the religious opinions of his sister-in-law, Anne Hutchinson. It was therefore decided, that Wheelwright should have charge of a new church to be gathered in what is now Quincy

From this time on, the great Antinomian controversy waged fiercely. In March, 1637, John Wheelwright preached his famous Fast Day Sermon, that led to his arraignment by the General Court, to answer to the charge of sedition and contempt. In the strife that followed, Wheelwright showed that he had not forgotten that "more than ordinary stroke at wrestling," for which the youth had been famous.

At length the Synod, assembled at Newtown,3 August 30, 1637, declared, that eighty-two errors of doctrine were rampant, and making sad havoc among the Puritan flocks. This was the view halloo, for which the General Court was waiting, to set about hunting down the heretical wolves,õand soon they were in at the death.

In November, Wheelwright was disfranchised, and. [p.37] banished, with orders to settle his affairs, and be gone from the Patent1 within fourteen days. To the added condition, that he should not preach again during his stay in Massachusetts, Wheelwright gave a scornful refusal.

It was a bitter winter. Beyond the Merrimac, the snow lay three feet on a level, from the 4th of November till the 5th of March.

The place of Wheelwright's sojourn during that dreary winter cannot be definitely stated, but as early as April, he had bought of the Indians the land at Squamscot Falls, now the site of Exeter, N.H.2 He was soon joined by several of his Massachusetts friends and parishioners. The land was cleared, a church gathered, wise regulations for self government agreed upon, and all seemed prosperous, when the claim of Massachusetts to the region of the Piscataqua, "and the desire of some of the Exeter people to come under the jurisdiction of the Bay Colony, made it prudent for Wheelwright and his flock to seek a new home."

In 1641, some of the Exeter congregation got permission from Thomas Gorges, nephew of Sir Ferdinand, and Deputy Governor of the province of Maine, to occupy the land between the Ogunquit and Kennebunk Rivers, from the sea, eight miles inland, and two years later, "Mr. John Wheelwright, minister of God's word, and others," are granted absolute power, to sett forth any lott or bounds unto any man that shall come to inhabit."

Thus the towns of Exeter, N.H., and Wells, Maine, were both founded by the Antinomian exile and his friends. As a pioneer in two frontier settlements, the athletic training of [p.38] our Puritan preacher must have stood him in good stead. The historian of Wells, in speaking of the connection of the Rev. John Wheelwright with that town adds, "He left sons whose energies were instrumental in building it up, and giving it an influential position in the public councils;õmen whose services were of immense benefit in those early days, when souls were exposed to the most severe tests of a true citizenship."

With few exceptions, if we may credit its historian, the people of Wells, up to about the year 1700, were poor,õmaterially, intellectually and morally. Their houses were mostly of logs, daubed with clay. They had few personal comforts or conveniences. Their beds were of the cattail rushes, which they gathered from the marsh. Knives and forks, teacups and saucers, silver spoons, chairs, carpets and looking glasses, were luxuries almost unknown. Their food [p.39] was of the simplest. They had milk, but no butter, and no tea nor coffee. Corn and such fish as they could catch, were the chief of their diet. The house of the richest man in Wells is thus described by the town historian: "The kitchen is also the sitting room and parlor. Looking around, we discover a table, a pewter pot, a hanger,2 a little mortar, a dripping pan and a skillet. No crockery, tin nor glass ware. No knives, forks, nor spoons, not a chair to sit in. The house contains two other rooms, in each of which is a bed, a blanket and a chest."

Storer, then the richest man in Wells, died in 1730, leaving an estate of $5000, and six silver spoons. There were no other silver spoons in Wells at that time.

Rev. Wheelwright was considered an antinomian. Webster's Dictionary defines that as "a member of a Christain sect which held that faith alone, not obedience to the moral law, is necessary for salvation."

Preached at Braintree, and sometimes at Boston. Because of his sympathy with his famous sister in law, Mrs. Ann Hutchinson, which greatly scandalized the ministers and magistrates of Mass. he was compelled to leave the colony. Removed to Exeter, N. H. where he with Samuel Hutchinson and Augustine Stor, of Boston, Edward Colcord and Darby Field of Piscataqua, John Compton of Roxbury, and Nicholas Needome, of Mount Wollaston purchased the rights of the Indian sagamore Wehanownowit and his son to the territory of Exeter April 3, 1638.

-from the collection of Stella Miller

"Reverend Abraham Pierson born in England was graduated from Trinity Church, Cambridge, England in 1632. We find him at South Hampton, Long Island where he organized the first church in that locality. Then followed a pastorate of twenty years at Brandford, Connecticut where he won the confidence of laity and clergy alike. He was especially zealous and successful in his work among the Indians to whom he preached in their own tongue. He and his Indian friends were interpreters when contracts were to be made with the Red Men. He served as chaplain in 1654 in the expeditions against the Dutch.

He led the Brandford men who left Connecticut and founded the city of Newark, New Jersey, which he named for his first parish in old England. His son Abraham Jr. was the first president of Yale College. His daughter, Abigail married John Davenport Jr. whose youngest daughter, Mary married Reverend Nathaniel Wade. Whitehead, the historian says, "He was a Puritan whose character, so far as is known to me is free from stains, on whom no charge can rest in variation, in doctrine or continuity of life from the acknowledged fathers of the church in Christ, after the congregational way, a rigid religiousist, an honest man, a good citizen of simple tastes and consistent life, etc, etc " His wife was Abigail Wheelwright, daughter of Reverend John Wheelwright."

"Reverend Abraham Pierson preached at Newark, N.J. from 1667 until his death 1680. When he came of America he settled at Guilford, Ct. When Rev. Pierson became old his son, Rev. Abraham Pierson Jr. assisted him as minister at Newark, N.J."

"He was Episcopally ordained, it is believed, at the parish church in Newark-on-the-Trent. Coming to America, in 1639, in quest of religious freedom, he settled in Boston. While there he was ordained a Congregational minister and in the following year, 1640, was leading a company of people "finding themselves straightened" in the town of Lynn to a settlement on Long Island. They founded the town of Southampton. Rev. Mr. Pierson's chief ambition was to establish the "Island of the Innocents," but in 1647, finding his hopes thwarted by many of more liberal views in religious matters, another effort was made at Branford to build a Puritan congregation."

"Reverence was accorded him wherever and whenever he appeared. Boys and girls were enjoined by parents to stand by the roadside in attitude of attention till he passed. Men and women also stood aside when meeting him on the highways or in other public places, bowing low, almost obsequiously. Cotton Mather says of him that "the good man shone like a torch" in his going about the daily life."

Page 30-31

"The health of the elder Pierson failed during the summer of 1678. He was able part of the day to sit near the window in his favorite chair, gaze over the highway and receive occasional salutations of passersby. As the midsummer flowers were fading into their long sleep the Shepherd of the Flock on the ninth day of August, 1678, relapsed into unconsciousness, and he, too, entered a long sleep, to awake in the glorious likeness of the Master he loved and served so faithfully.

The days of the Pilgrim and the Puritan were over and earth would know him no more. He had fought a good fight and had kept the faith. The people came to the parsonage, and in subdued tones offered their sympathy to the stricken widow and children.

Reverently on the day set for the funeral services the congregation assembled at the Meeting House and expressed their sorrow. It was a season of sore trial and of discipline.

Those physically able followed the bearers who carried the body down the lane leading to a knoll west of the edifice where all that was mortal of Rev. Abraham Pierson, the first pastor, was placed in the grave. The little God's Acre, back there somewhere in the vicinity of Branford place and long, long since lost to mankind's view, had already received several of the Puritan company gathered under the trees on the July day in 1667, when it made the honorable compact with the Indians. Deacon Lawrence Ward, Sargeant Riggs, senior, Robert Kitchell, Hugh Roberts, Matthew Canfield, Delivered Crane, Stephen Crane, John Harrison and Josiah Ward were among those who preceded the pastor in death.

Solemnly the people wended their way to the parsonage where the last office was performed. Refreshments were served and then the last will and testament was publicly read."

"If God takes me away by this sickness, or until I have made a more formal will, of a future date, then I do make and constitute this my last will and testament, being firmly persuaded of the everlasting welfare of my soul's estate and my body's resurrection to eternal life by Jesus Christ, my dear and precious Redeemer.

Imprimis. I will that all my debts be duly and truly paid as they are expressed and recorded in my broad book for reckoning, which I brought from Brandford, being carefully understood because of imperfections of the writing, or whatever else shall appear due to any though not there recorded.

2dly. That my wife shall have the thirds of my whole estate, to whose love and faithfulness I commit the bringing up of my children and do appoint her my sole executrix and give her my great Bible and what other English books she pleaseth to choose.

3dly. For my choice and precious daughter Davenport I will that her hundred pounds be made good, which I promised her upon her marriage, always provided that if upon just account of mine estate and debts, my other daughters have an hundred pounds a piece, that she shall be advanced as much as any.

4th. For my son Abraham, I do will that besides what he has had, or any horse kind he hath that he shall have all my books (except what by particulars I give to any) together with the frame belonging to the books; upon which consideration I will that he sh. pay back again to the estate eight pounds in part of the portion of my daughter Mary, upon her marriage day, or two after. For my next three sons, Thomas, Theophilus and Isaac, I will that they sh. have my whole accommodation of lands layed out or to be layed out within the limits of this plantation, always provided that my wife's thirds shall be at her sole disposal, during the continuance of her natural life. For my son Thomas, I do not bring in on his account either the home lot which the town gave him, or any horse kind which in former times I gave Him. I will that he have a sufficient house lot upon his home lot in part of portion, and do give him Dr. Hall his paraphrase upon the Bible as a token of my love. For my two youngest sons, I would have them in due time to have each of them half of the homestead. Finally, all my just debts paid and my wife's thirds kept entire, I would have the whole of my remaining estate to be divided as portions to the rest of my children to wit: my three sons and four daughters according to equal valuations and proportions, the same to be payable on the day of their respective marriages, or one month after; but if they be not married, then, the male children--their portions sh. be payable when they are of the age of twenty.

Furthermore, I would have my two lesser boys, to be taught to read the Eng. tongue and to write a legible hand, and all my chd. that be at home with me to have each of them a new Eng. Bible and a good Eng. book out of the library, such as they by the advice of their mother sh. choose. Likewise, I do request and hereby ordain my trusty and well beloved brethren and friends, Mr. Jasper Crane, Mr. Rob. Treat, Lieut. Swaine, Brother Tompkins, Bro. Lawrence and Bro. Sergeant Ward, to become supervisors of this my last will and testament, to be helpful unto my wife, and to see that this my last will be faithfully executed, and when any one of these sh. die or depart the place, the rest sh. with my wife's consent appoint some faithful man to fill up the empty place. In witness whereunto I have set my hand, the day and year first above written."

The net value of Rev. Abraham Pierson's estate was 822 pounds, a portion of which was incorporated in the library of 440 volumes, one of the largest private collections of books in the Western World. Best of all was the legacy of a good name which he bequeathed to posterity, and the influence of which is felt in our community in this remote day.

"Reverend Abraham Pierson is buried in Old Burying Ground, Newark, N.J."

Pierson

"Newark, N.J. was named for the birthplace in England of its first pastor Rev. Abraham Pierson. (Newark -on-Tresn, Eng.) whence the name Newark-on-Passiac suggested itself."

"The true story of Newark begins not on the bank of the Passiac but in that old church of Branford whose members as an organized body, moved to their New Jersey settlement with members from their adjacent New Haven towns and set up anew their tabernacle in the wilderness. They were among the strictest of the Puritans, allowing no compromise with these principles of righteousness which they conceived to be fundamental to their faith. The halfway covenant which more liberal Connecticut had accepted and which Massachusetts favored admitting those to church and civil privileges who had received no especial spiritual regeneration was to them an abomination that they were willing to escape by the sacrifice of their homes, if need be."

"NOW famed the world over, Newark's industries had their initiative in scanty resources and crude appliances. Encouragement was officially given artisans of neighboring and even distant settlements "inclined to come among us," by offering them homestead grants. Every effort consistent with town regulations aided those engaging in industrial enterprises.

"Jonathan Sargeant," we read in the transactions of the town meeting of December 5, 1670, "for his Encouragement to settle in the Town, follow his Trade, and to help Mend his Home Lott they gave Him that piece of Meadow that Lies at Beef Point which was formerly Granted to John Rockwell, the Boat Man." Town weavers of the Milford group, eager to erect their homes and ply their trade, made an error in laying out their home lots. They were established nearly six years, when at the town meeting of March 19, 1673, "It is agreed that Weavers Thomas Pierson and Benjamin Baldwin shall be considered to make their Lotts on the Hill shorter." John Cunditt, another early and industrious weaver, installed a loom near the Corn Mill.

Thomas Pierson was pious and hard-working. This was equally true of his neighbor Baldwin. Both tended their looms with punctuality and zealousness as became good citizens. Weaver Pierson was often visited by his kinsman, Rev. Abraham Pierson, first pastor, who "dropped in" of a morning or afternoon, as inclination prompted him. While the loom was clicking merrily under the skilled guidance of Thomas, the two Puritans talked of spiritual matters, those of town concern, of the latest news brought into port from distant parts, and of prospects for community expansion.

Notes for SAMUEL KITCHELL:

History of Morris County, New Jersey, (Press of George MacNamara, 36 Vesey Street, New York 1882), "Electronic." Page 111 -112

"Samuel Ford was the leader of a notorious gang of counterfeiters, who infested this region just previous to the war of the Revolution. He was the grandson of widow Elizabeth Lindsley, the mother of Colonel Jacob Ford. His father's name was also Samuel. His mother was Grace, the daughter of Abraham Kitchel, of Hanover, and sister of Aaron, the Congressman. Her greatgrandfather was Rev. Abraham Pierson sen., of Newark. His family connections were therefore of the best and most respectable. Most of his companions in villainy also stood high in society. These were Benjamin Cooper, of Hibernia, son of Judge Cooper, before whom he was afterward tried for his crime; Dr. Bern Budd, a leading physician in Morristown, and a prominent member in its society; Samuel Haynes, and one Ayres, of Sussex county, both, as was also Cooper, justices of the peace; David Reynolds, a common man with no strong social connections; and others whose names will appear as we proceed."

"Ford had followed the business of counterfeiting, which he pleasantly called a "money-making affair," for a number of years before he began operations in this vicinity. In 1768 he was arrested by the authorities of New York on a charge of uttering false New Jersey bills of credit; but we cannot find that he was ever brought to trial. Shortly after this he went to Ireland to improve himself in his profession, this being his second transatlantic trip in the prosecution of his business. Ireland was reputed to furnish at this time the most skillful counterfeiters in the world. Here Ford became, it is said, "a perfect master of the business." He returned to this country in 1772, and at once set to work on an extensive scale. He established himself about midway between Morristown and Hanover, in a swamp island on the Hammock. For the greater part of the year the surrounding water was a foot deep. Through this swamp Ford was obliged to creep on his hands and knees to get to his work. He would leave his house at daylight with his gun, as if in pursuit of game, and thus unwatched would attain his secret resort; for this practice was so much in accordance with the idle life he had apparently always led that it excited neither surprise nor remark. Still it was difficult for people to understand how a man whose only ostensible means of livelihood were a few acres of swampy land, the cultivation of which moreover was sadly neglected, could wear the aspect of a thriving farmer with plenty of money. In one way and another suspicion was aroused; and at last, on the 16th of July 1773, Ford was arrested and lodged in the county jail. That very night, however, or the day following, he succeeded in effecting his escape, being aided by a confederate by the name of John King, who in all probability was the same "John King" who was "late under-sheriff of Morris county." His position gave him, of course, every facility to aid his companion in crime. Nor did Sheriff Kinney escape the charge of implication in this matter. He was afterward indicted for remissness of duty in allowing the escape of so dangerous a prisoner. The privy council regarded him as "blamable for negligence in his office, respecting the escape of Ford," and advised the governor "to prosecute the said indictment at the next court."

"Ford first fled to a lonely spot on the mountain, between Mount Hope and Hibernia, and hid himself in a deserted colliery, called "Smultz's Cabin." Sheriff Kinney with a posse of men sought him there, but so leisurely that when he reached the cabin the bird had flown. From Hibernia Ford fled southward, boldly paying his way with his spurious Jersey bills and counterfeit coin. At last he reached Green Briar county, among the mountains of Virginia, where he settled and assumed the name of Baldwin. Here he followed the trade of a silversmith, forming a partnership with another man. During a severe illness he disclosed his real history to his partner's wife, who so sympathized with him that after his recovery and the death of her husband she married him, and thus became his third living wife. His first wife, as we have seen, was Grace Kitchel, of Hanover. While in Ireland, perfecting himself in his "profession," he married an Irish girl, with whom he is said to have received considerable money. She came to this country with him, and was well nigh crazed on finding that he already had a wife and children. She is said afterward to have married an Irishman, and lived for many years in Whippany. "

"The pursuit of Ford was not of a very diligent character. When his whereabouts became known in the course of time it does not appear that he was molested. His oldest son, William Ford, and Stephen Halsey (son of Ananias) visited him in Virginia, where they found him with "a great property," a new wife, and some promising young Baldwins; and thus the possible ancestor, so the historian suggests of the Virginia Baldwins who have figured in public life. To his son and Mr. Halsey he seemed to be a "most melancholy man." He professed to them a deep penitence for his sins, and a grace which led to a religious life; the sincerity of which we may however be permitted to doubt, as it did not lead him to abandon his adulterous relations and do justice to the excellent woman in New Jersey whom he had left to support herself and his family without a farthing's aid from him."

"At the time of Ford's arrest and escape several other persons were taken up on suspicion of being connected with him in his "money-making scheme." On the 4th of August 1773 a special term of oyer and terminer was held for the purpose of eliciting information respecting the parties implicated and the extent of their guilt. On the 14th one of those concerned, that he might mitigate his own punishment, made a partial confession, and was followed by another who gave a full and explicit statement of all the details. The swamp was examined and the press found, together with a set of plates for printing the bills of Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey; a quantity of type and other materials, and a leather wrapper in which the money was kept. The late Sheriff Robertson of Morris county became the owner of the house in which Ford lived, on the Hammock, and in repairing it found some of Ford's counterfeiting tools in the walls, where many years before he had secreted them."

"This "money-making scheme" of Ford and his companions has a wider than local interest from its connection with the robbery of the treasury of East Jersey, at Perth Amboy, on the night of the 21st of July 1768, in which Ü6,570 9s. 4d. in coin and bills were stolen. Cooper, Haynes and Budd, under sentence of death for counterfeiting, as above narrated, made confessions which pointed to Ford as the planner and prime mover of this bold and successful villainy, the first of whom admitted having received Ü300 of the stolen money. Ford strenuously denied the charge; but his denial could scarcely counterbalance the confessions just noticed. He was never tried for the crime, having fled, as already seen, beyond the reach of the law before the confessions were made."

"The career of this bad man is the one foul blot upon our local history, bringing disgrace to the town, and sorrow of heart to the estimable family of which he was a most unworthy representative."

History of Morris County, New Jersey, (Press of George MacNamara, 36 Vesey Street, New York 1882), "Electronic." Page 35

"Mrs. Eunice Pierson, daughter of Abraham Kitchel, stated to the doctor that her uncle, Aaron Kitchel, was peculiarly obnoxious to the tories, and that on several occasions attempts were made to capture him. She said that a price was laid on his head. To one scene she was an eye witness. One dark night the family was surprised by the entrance of several noted tories, completely armed. There could be no mistake about their intentions, and high words ensued, in which Mr. Kitchel gave them to understand that he was not afraid of them. At last, cooling down a little, they asked for cider, and he treated them liberally. In the meantime Mrs. Kitchel, with real womanly shrewdness, perceiving that no time was to be lost, pushing her little niece, Eunice, toward the bedroom door, said, aloud, "This is no place for you; you must go to bed." She followed her into the room, closed the door and raised the window; Eunice was lifted out and told to hurry as fast as her feet would carry her to her grandfather's house, some rods distant, and tell him to come up with all the help he could muster. "I tell you, I was a great coward in the dark in those squally times," said the old lady, "and I was not long in going." Fortunately three of his sons were with the grandfather, and the tories, waking up suddenly to the sense of their having been caught napping, took to their heels."

"A most useful official in the parish work was the town drummer. Joseph Johnson, chosen at the town meeting of September 10, 1668, to act in this relation, was the "bell-ringer," calling the people to worship on the Sabbath, the midweek lecture and town meetings. The item duly recording this fact states that "Thomas Johnson shall have Eight shillings for his Son's beating the drum this Year, and Repairing the remainder of the Year; And in case his Son's shall Be Appointed to Beat it any Time, Morning, and Evening after this Time, They shall be allowed after the Rate of Five Shillings the Month."

The drummer, who was seventeen years of age, lived with his father at the ordinary. His calls were sounded along the highway running the length of the town on the early Sabbath morning rounds, this English custom having been brought across the seas by the Puritans. The very air was charged with piety.

Later, on January 2, 1670, "the Town Choose Jos. Johnson for Drummer as before, upon Condition that he Beats the first Drum at least up as far as the Saw Pitt on the Corner of Serj't Harrison's lot."

Strange spectacle it would be on our modern Sunday mornings for an official to walk solemnly along Broad Street, wearing tall crowned hat, close fitting coat, trousers extending to the knee, long stockings, and shoes capped with buckle, and carrying a drum almost as large as himself, striking it at intervals, warning the people to attend church."

"Patient under the many changes in the office of Governor were the settlers of Newark, but restlessness was noted in nearly every other town. An effort to convene the court at Elizabeth Town on March 12, 1700, met with rebuke by revolutionists, whereupon it was transferred to Newark. In the early morning of September 12, the opening day, a troop of Elizabeth Town horsemen arrived at the Meeting House, where the court was to meet. The constable majestically announced the presence of the justices, who, carefully gowned and wigged, mounted the bench as the crier summoned all who had business with the court to draw near.

Samuel Carter, of Elizabeth Town, claiming that he represented Samuel Burwell, the prisoner about to be placed on trial, demanded very dramatically:

"On what authority does this court sit?"

"By the King's!" replied Captain William Sandford, presiding. The latter and his associates, Justices Captain John Curtis, Theophilus Pierson (son of Rev. Abraham Pierson, first pastor) and Elias McKeilson, held a whispered conference and then counseled an orderly procedure of the Court's business, which was agreed to. The prisoner was found guilty of the offense charged but his fellow citizens rebelled. The constable was removing Burwell to jail when the court room became a scene of violence...."

Notes for REV. ABRAHAM PIERSON:

David Lawrence Pierson, Historian General, Sons of the american Revolution. Narratives of Newark (in New Jersey) from the Days of It's Founding. (Pierson Publishing Co., Newark) Page 29-30

"Rev. Mr. Pierson needed assistance, which was allowed him, July 28, 1669, when "the Town by their Unanimous Vote, declared their Freeness to desire and call upon Mr. Abraham Pierson, Junior, to be helpful to his Father in the exercising his Gifts in the Ministry for the space of a Year; and for his Encouragement they are willing to allow him Thirty Pounds for this Year.'"

"As infirmities increased, the father leaned more and more upon the son who at town meeting on March 4, 1671, was requested to join him as a co-laborer. Now there was to be a division of the ministrations of the preacher, teacher and physician. "And upon good experience of him," said a parishioner, speaking of Mr. Abraham Pierson, Jr., "he was called and ordained to be our teacher." The pastor's annual salary of eighty pounds was continued and the son allowed forty pounds. Both were furnished firewood."

"EDWARD LYDE, second son of Edward Lyde, was born in Boston in 1725. He was a merchant, and was proscribed, banished, and his property confiscated. It was bought in by his brother Nathaniel (born in 1735) who was allowed to remain."

"Hutchinson, in his diary May 3rd, 1776, says: "Landed at Halifax. Edward Lyde, Esq., invited me to his house, where I tarried till I embarqued for England. I was very happy in being at Mr. Lyde's as there was so great an addition to the inhabitants from the navy and army and Refugees from Boston which made the lodgings for them very scarce to be had, and many of them when procured, quite intolerable." Again in his diary June 7, 1776, Hutchinson says: "Ned Lyde had arrived with others at Dover."

"Edward Lyde died in New York in 1812, aged eighty-seven."

"We of to-day are not responsible for the unpleasant facts of history. They must be met without excuse or denial, without prejudice or passion. The evidence that the mission priests of the Abenakis were active promoters of the strife can no more be refuted, than the testimony against the Puritan ministry for their part in the persecution of the Quakers, and the horrors of the Witchcraft delusion.

The names of the Fathers Thury and Bigot are as truly and painfully connected with the tragedies of Pemaquid and Oyster River, as those of Cotton Mather and Pastor Wilson with the whipping, mutilating and killing of Quakers, and the hanging of witches. It was an age of intolerance. We may not judge the past by the standards of the present.

During the period I have mentioned, Maine had passed under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, but though every English settlement to the east of Wells had been laid waste, (the survivors fleeing to Wells for refuge,) the authorities at Boston seem to have shown an indifference to the needs of that place. There were, however, valiant men in Wells, keenly alive to the perils of the hour, and ever on the alert to save the town, and defend the province. Conspicuous among them were Lieut. Joseph Storer and Capt. John Wheelwright. In the annals of New England there are no nobler names.

John Wheelwright was the son of Samuel, and grandson of the pugilistic Puritan, Rev. John Wheelwright. By his prudence, his energy, his fidelity, his bravery and his [p.42] patriotism, he earned the distinction, of being "the bulwark of Massachusetts for defence against Indian assaults."

In the midst of these troublous times, in the very year of the building of Storer's fort, John Wheelwright married Mary Snell and took her home to the little one story house, [p.43] built by his grandfather, the Puritan preacher. It was probably palisaded at this time. Peace being nominally restored by the treaty of Ryswick, the people of Wells returned to their farms and went courageously to work; but peace was of short duration. By his acceptance of the throne of Spain for his grandson in 1700, the French king broke the solemn engagement made to William of England, in the two Treaties of Partition. His subsequent recognition of James Edward, the Pretender, as king of England, was a gross infringement of the treaty of Ryswick.

Letters abound in our archives, signed by Storer and Wheelwright, and other faithful sentinels on this outpost, entreating that they may not be left to perish, but that soldiers and ammunition may be sent to their relief, with money and provision for their support.

The following extract from a letter of John Wheelwright to the Governor, dated Aug. 4, 1702, shows that the former had no faith in the words of the savages.

"Sir, I understand that the Indians at the Eastward vearey redily Professed Great fidelity to yourself, and the English nation, with Great Promis of Peace and friendship, which Promises so long as it may stand with theire own Interest, I believe they may keep, and no longer, their teachers Instructing them that there is no faith to be kept with Hereticks, such as they account us to be, themselves allso being naturaley deseatfulÄ. I having Experienced so mutch of their horable deseatfulness in the Last war, upon many treaties of [p.44] Peace, so that I cannot but apprehend ourselves that live in these remote parts of the countrey, and being frontires, to be in Great Danger, and considering that war was Proclaimed with the French who may send out an army against us this town being the nearest to the Enemy, our Inhabitants doth therefore Pray. that your Excelency would assist us with sum men twenty or thirtie, or so many as your Excellency in Wisdom may think fit."

Wheelwright goes on to ask for the "Liberty of a Garrison [house] Informing your Excellency that if I must remove into the middle of the town, I must leave that Little Estate I have to maintain my Family with, and Carey a large Family where I have but little to maintain them withall."

Storer and Wheelwright, being the leading men of the town, were licensed as retailers of beer and strong liquors, and their houses served as ordinaries or taverns for the public. "In those days," sighs the historian of Wells, "public houses were not always nurseries of virtue." It is a hint of the morals of the times, that both Storer and Wheelwright were "indicted for keeping Keeles and bowls (old English for nine-pins and balls) at their houses contrary to law." Perhaps the ordinary was not an unmixed evil. Ministers and judges put up here, in their journeys from place to place, bringing the latest news from other parts. Courts were held here. Here the town officers met to deliberate, and the men of the village gathered here for social chat and pastime. Commissioners, referees and executors [p.45] met in the "foreroom" of the ordinary, to lay out roads, decide disputes, and settle estates. Rum was a necessity of life in those days, and the flip and toddy, mixed by John Wheelwright on such occasions, was scored against the town, the man, or the estate, whose business was there transacted.

Notes for ESTHER WHEELWRIGHT:

Bibliography: Baker, C. Alice. True Stories of New England Captives Carried to Canada during the Old French and Indian Wars. Greenfield, MA: E.A. Hall & Co., 1897.

The tragedy which began at Wells at nine o'clock on the morning of Aug. 10, 1703, ended in the capture or death of [p.48] thirty-nine of the inhabitants. Wheelwright's house being at the eastern end of the village, was probably one of the first attacked. His little daughter Esther, then seven years old, was captured. The intrepid Storer was also bereft. His daughter Mary, aged eighteen, was among the captives. One longs to know what followed. Was there pursuit ? Whither were the captives hurried, and how did it fare with them on the retreat? Alas! no echo from the past replies. We may assume that Mary Storer and Esther Wheelwright were kindly treated by their savage captors, who knew the value of their prize, and doubtless expected a large sum for the ransom of the two girls.

But where was Esther? Clearly the Hills and James Adams were ignorant of her fate,õbut how did this child elude the sharp eyes of John Sheldon, and the vigilance of De Vaudreuil? [p.50] Far away in the depths of the forest, to the head waters of the Kennebec, the Abenaki wolf had swiftly fled with the bleating lamb thus snatched from the fold. There, in one of the Abenaki villages of Father Bigot's mission, Esther lived in the wigwam of her tawny master, an object of wonder to his children, of jealousy, perhaps, to his fierce squaw, (Esther Wheelwright was six years with the savages.)

The days lengthen into weeks,õthe weeks to months, and these to years,1 when one day as he is making his arduous round from village to village, baptizing, catechizing, confessing his converts, Father Bigot sees a little girl, whose pale face, shrinking manners and tattered garments, show her to be of different race from the bold, dusky, naked rabble around her. He calls her to him. He speaks to her, perhaps, an English word. She does not answer. She has lost her childhood's speech. He sends for her savage master, and learns that she is Wheelwright's child. "The English rose is drooping," says the priest, "the forest life is too hard for her." He will "transplant her to Canada, where she will thrive better under the nurture of the gentle nuns." "The little white flower must not be plucked up," says the Indian, "let her grow up among the pine trees, to deck by and by, the wigwam of some young brave." On each return of the priest to the village, this discussion is renewed, but neither promise nor threat can move the sullen savage.

The lot of the little captive is easier from that day. The Indian knows it is in the power of his Great Father the French Governor, to take the child from him, and he tries by kindness to win her to stay. The priest spares no pains to teach her, and the intelligent child quickly responds to his efforts. Soon she can say her credo and her catechism in French, as well as in Abenaki. Only she finds it hard that even Father Bigot does not seem to understand her when she talks about her mother, and her brothers and sisters. And if [p.51] she asks when her father will come for her, her master is angry and the priest frowns. Meantime De Vaudreuil is informed by Father Bigot of the hiding place of the child, and in some way or other, the news reaches Boston, that Esther Wheelwright, long since given up by her parents as dead, is alive.

On the 23rd of April, 1708, Lieut. Josiah Littlefield of Wells, while on his way to York, was captured and carried captive to Canada, arriving at Montreal on the 3rd of June. Soon after, he writes as follows:

Governor Dudley.

"Dear and loving children, my kind love to you all, and to my brother and sister and to all my friends att Wells. I have liberty granted to me to rite to my friends, and to the governor, and for my redemtion and for Wheelrite's child to be redeemed, by two lndens prisoners with the EnglishÄand I have been with the Governor this morning, and hee have promised, that if our governor will send them, that wee shall be redeemed, for the governor have sent a man to redeem Wheilerites child, and do looke for him in now every day with the child to Moriel where I am, and I would pray Whilrite to be very brief in the matter, that we may come home before winter, for we must come by Albany, and I have allso acquainted our gofnear Dedly with the same."

We need no assurance, that a demand was at once made by Dudley, upon the French Governor, for the release of Esther [p.52] Wheelwright. After much trouble, Father Bigot succeeds in buying the English rose from the Abenaqui sachem. In the autumn of 1708, he transplants her to Quebec, where she is kindly welcomed by the Governor and his wife, who received her into their own household. From the squalor and rags of the wigwam on the Kennebec, to the luxury of the Chateau Saint Louis, what a contrast!õWhat are the thoughts of the twelve years old girl? Have the five years of forest life blotted out her remembrance of the little house at the town's end at Wells? She has learned to love Pre Bigot as her kindest friend and father. To priest and child alike, the parting must have been painful. Does she console herself with the belief that she is now to be restored to home and friends, or is she dazzled and pleased by her surroundings?

No effort seems to have been made by De Vaudreuil to restore Esther to her parents. Madame la Marquise, his wife, having received an appointment as assistant-governess to the royal children at the French Court, decides to place her eldest daughter, Louise, with Esther in the boarding school of the Ursuline Convent.

The names of Louise de Vaudreuil and Esther Wheelwright stand side by side on the list of pupils at the pension of the Ursulines at Quebec. Thanks to Father Bigot, shortly after entering the school, Esther took her first communion "with angelic fervor." Beloved by the sisters, and happy in her convent home, Esther expressed a strong desire to become a nun. "But," says the annalist of the Ursulines, "the Marquis who considered himself pledged to restore her to her family, would not hear a word to this, and took her home [p.53] with his daughter to the chteau.1" A political prisoner of such importance, could not be permitted to immure herself in a convent. Graceful, amiable, modest, Esther won all hearts at the chateau, as before at the convent,õbut her life for the next two years must have been restless and unhappy. It was a time of much negotiation between the two governments, concerning a general exchange of prisoners. During this business, Esther accompanied De Vaudreuil to Three Rivers and Montreal. At Three Rivers she stayed with the Ursulines, and at Montreal, in the cloisters of the Htel-Dieu. On Saturday, Oct. 3, 1711, while at Montreal, she was godmother at the baptism of Dorothe de Noyon, infant daughter of Abigail Stebbins, a Deerfield captive, and signed her name in a handsome handwriting in the parish register, with Father Meriel, and the son of the Baron of Longueil.

The absence of Madame de Vaudreuil in Europe, making it inconvenient for the Governor to keep Esther with him at the the chateau, he yielded at last to her entreaties to be allowed to go back to her Ursuline mothers. Fostered by the atmosphere of the convent, a religious exaltation took possession of her soul.õ"One thought alone," says the annalist, "occupied her mind,õthe preservation of her faith and the salvation of [p.54] her soul." On the second of October, 1712, on the festival of Saint Ursula, she began her novitiate as an Ursuline nun. On the third of January, 1713, she took the white veil.

On the morning of the 12th of April, 1714, the Marquis de Vaudreuil with his brilliant suite,õthe Bishop of Canada and the dignitaries of the church, in all the splendor of their priestly vestments,õwith all the beauty and fashion of Quebec, assembled in the church of the Ursulines, which was decorated as if for the grandest festival. There Esther Wheelwright was invested with the black robe and veil of their order, by the Sisters of Saint Ursula, and the young New England captive, known thereafter as Mother Esther Marie Joseph of the Infant Jesus, serenely turned her face away forever from her childhood's home and friends.

(Footnote)

In 1761, (the year following her election as Superior), one of her sister's sons, Joshua Moody, son of Mary Wheelwright Moody, visited her. "One of this sister's granddaughters was named Esther Wheelwright, and to her namesake, the Lady Superior sent by Mr. Moody many presents, requesting that she might be entrusted to her care to be educated in the Convent. Of course, the Puritan parents were not disposed to gratify her in this respect. Among other things, she sent by Mr. Moody her own portrait painted in the dress of her order. This is still in the family, having been handed down with the name Esther from generation to generation." For the above I am indebted to Mr. Edmund Wheelwright of Boston, who is about to publish a history of his family. C. A. B.

page 136

Davenport, James, clergyman, was born in Stamford, Conn., in 1716; son of the Rev. John and Martha (Gould) Selleck Davenport; grandson of Judge John and Abigail (Pierson) Davenport, and great-grandson of the Rev. John Davenport, the Puritan. He was graduated at Yale in 1732, studied theology in New Haven, and was ordained to the ministry at Southold, N.Y., Oct. 26, 1738. He took an active part in the religious revival of that period, preaching with great effect on Long Island, and in New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The assembly of Connecticut disapproved of his methods and expelled him from the colony. He then went to Boston where he was arrested, imprisoned, tried and declared "non compos mentis and therefore not guilty." A council of ministers dissolved his relations with the South-old congregation in 1742 and in 1743 his partisans induced him to organize a church at New London, Conn., and he continued his erratic actions against the use of jewelry, wigs, fine clothes, and certain books which he gathered together and burned. In July, 1744, after his recovery from a severe illness, he published in the Boston Gazette a retraction of his errors. The College of New Jersey made him an honorary A.M. in 1749. In September, 1746, he became a member of the New Brunswick (N.J.) presbytery and was transferred to the New York presbytery in 1748. In 1754 he was moderator of the New York synod. He subsequently became pastor at Hopewell, N.J.. where he died Nov. 10, 1757.

All the rest of my negroes, and their children, are to be free.

Notes for REV. NATHANIEL WADE:

"Nathaniel, ye son of Mr. Nathaniel Wade and Mercy, his wife (ye daughter of ye worshipful Simon Bradstreet of Andover) baptized May 20, 1673. (This date would mean that Nathaniel was baptized before he was born, so I used an approx. birth year rather than the two different years listed in the sources)

New England Records Vol 26 p.153

"This infant Nathaniel Wade M.D. became the Rev. Nathaniel who married Mary Davenport at New Haven Ct. May 22, 1694."

New England Records Vol 1 page 754

Town clerks office are deeds in which Nathaniel Wade and Mary, his wife, sold their interest in the estate of the late John Davenport, (Nathaniel Wade physician of New Haven) with consent of his wife, Mary for L70. It is evident from the deed that Dr. Wade, at this time lived in Davenport Mansion. The Date is June 18, 1698 p. 353.

Same book contains a similar deed apparently to cover lands omitted from the other deed, although that seemed broad enough to cover the whole estate, so far as his wife Mary was concerned. From New Haven, Rev. Nathaniel Wade went like so many other Connecticut men to Long Island then to Woodbridge, New Jersey, where he died in 1715 leaving everything to his wife, Mary Davenport Wade, who with John Loofbourrow Jr. was his executrix.

John was a cooper (one who makes barrels and casks). He died possibly by accident, for the brevity of his will, which was written on a torn scrap of paper would indicate that it was written "in extremis": "All my estate to be at my wife's disposal. Eldest son, Wade, 5 shillings."

(This unfortunate will caused dissension among John's children. The family scattered and his sons adopted different spellings of their name.)

(From World Family Tree Vol. 1, Pedigree file 3269)

John purchased land in Perth Amboy in 1719 from George Wilcox, bordering the property in the tenure of William Harrison, and again in 1724 from George and Margaret Wilcox. In 1726 he was listed as constable for Perth Amboy and in 1738 he witnessed the will of David Lyell of the same place. In 1747 he served as a member of the jury in the case of the King vs. Robinson and the King vs. Loyse, for manslaughter (Found "not guilty").

Notes for SIMON LOOFBOURROW:

Simon was a tailor and lived in Amboy & New Brunswick, NJ. A letter written to "Simon Loofborrow, Tailor, In Amboy" (Rutgers University Library) was the first clue found linking John Loofborrow of Philadelphia to this branch of the family: "Dear Hounrd Father and Mouther, This comes for to let you now that I am in good health Hooping These leuw lyines will find you in the same. You herd that I left Isbon (?) I got a Nother Plays He dedent keep me at my byisnss as he ought to have Don. But now I am a Prentes to a Master Builder and not to a Journeyman and I Whent as an aprents 1st of December to Jacob Miller Master Builder in Kensento (Kensington) for 3 years and helf. I have had a fit of the Phevere the Latter end of Las Winter and I rote you a letter to Let you now that I was very Badly and no Boydey Expected for me to get over it and If you Receved that Letter I think it very hard that you Did not come and see me. No more at presen... and here I reman Your Doutyful Son John Loofborrow"

In 1765, Simon still lived at Perth Amboy when he witnessed the will of Melvan Williams, but by 1784-86 he is listed in the account book of Dr. Moses Scott of New Brunswick. In 1797 his son Andrew was married in Philadelphia. "Andrew Lochberry, son of Simon Lochbery in Brunswick in East New Jersey." In 1801 Andrew married a 2nd time- "Andrew Loughberry, son of deceased Simon and Jane Loughberry, hereof in Amboy of East New Jersey/" Hence Simon must have died between 1797 and 1801.

She was born Abt. 1720⁴⁵⁹.

Notes for WADE LOOFBOURROW:

Descendants of Wade have, in the main, retained the spelling Loofbourrow and many in this line joined the great migration to the West during the early days of our history. Wade was a cooper and probably attended the Presbyterian Church in Perth Amboy, NJ where he lived in 1738. He owned land in Sussex County, NJ and lived for some time in Kingwood, NJ. In later years he lived at Confluence, PA where he and Sarah attended the Reformed Church. He moved with his eldest son, John Wade, who was a Baptist Minister, to Clarksburg, Harrison County, Virginia now West Virginia. Wade's 3 known sons were among the early pioneers who opened the West.

Notes for WILLIAM PORTER PIERSON:

Jotham H. Condit and Eben Condit, Genealogy of the Condit Family 1678-1885, (Revision by the Condit Family Association 1916), "Electronic," Page 102-3.

"MARY TUCKER CONDIT (of Rev. Robert W.) married, April 18, 1853, William Porter Pierson, born at Leroy, Genesee County, N. Y., Dec. 8, 1811. He was a descendant of Rev. Abraham Pierson, who, with his church colony, founded the city of Newark. His line of descent is, first, Abraham Pierson, founder of Newark; second, Abraham Pierson, rector, first president of Yale College; third, Abraham Pierson, worshipful colonial magistrate of Connecticut; fourth, Samuel Pierson; fifth, Samuel Pierson; sixth, Philo Pierson; seventh, William Porter Pierson. He graduated at Vermont University, Burlington, in 1839. After his marriage he settled at Onarga, Ill., in 1854. A large portion of the town of Onarga was built by Mr. Pierson, who, having retired from business, resided with his wife at their beautiful home on the outskirts of the town. Mrs. Pierson was sociable and entertaining and her home was a welcome retreat for all who visited there. They had no children, but for many years adopted girls, who in their life exemplified the teachings of a faithful and Christian foster mother. By her kind assistance we were able to secure the history of the descent of the five sons of Rev. Aaron Condit, of Hanover, N. J. She died Dec. 30, 1890. He died June 10, 1909."

Notes for MARY HAFF:

dated Nov., 18, 1930:

Dear Madam,

I have your letter of Nov. 14, making inquiry with regard to the probable

parentage of Mary Haff who married your ancestor John Wade Loofbourrow.

It appears from you letter that Mr. Loofbourrow was a citizen of New Jersey and evidently married in that State. I have not before me my records,

naturally they are all in Kansas City, but I have no doubt that Mary Haff is

descendant, probably grand daughter of Lawrence Haff, formerly of Brooklyn

and later of Flushing and Oyster Bay, L.I. He was the first Haff who came to

the United States.

You will find his genealogy and that of his descendants in a book entitled "The Ancestry of Leander Howard Crall" (or "Krall"), I forget the spelling.

This book was written by Frank Allaben, a distinguished genealogist and

historian of New York now deceased, and you will find the book in all of the

Eastern Public Libraries.........

I will refer your letter to Mr. Frederick A. Virkus, Editor of the Abridged

Compendium of American Genealogy; and I suggest that he communicate with you and if you care to have the matter looked up, undoubtedly he could attend to

it through the various sources of genealogical information at his command.

With regards,

Reminiscences

Dear Mr. Editor;

The interesting (aloy?) of Coleman Spencer is a recent issue of the Press,

recalls the fact that the late G.W. Loveberry of Somerset, was born two

months after his father's death. His father who was also my grandfather was 84

years old when he died, and raised a family of five children. His right name

was Jonathan Loofberough. His present descendents spell the name Loveberry.

He was born 1753. Served with Washington, as a lieutenant in the Continental

Army. He was wounded in the left knee. He and a Mr. Duseuberry whose name many in Somerset will remember old Mrs. Shirley who lived on North Columbus Street. Her father's name was Mills. He was the County Squire and he married our grandparents. Mrs. Shirley as a little girl, witnessed the cermony.

He was the first person to unite with the Jones Run Baptist church (then called Ten Mile Baptist church), after its organization. He was baptized into the fellowship of the church by Rev. John Allen, an uncle of the late Deacon James F. Allen of the Clarksburg Baptist church, in July, 1831, which was about three months after the church was organized. At the meeting of the church in January 1833, the subject of this sketch was licensed by the church to exercise his skills in signing, praying and preaching, in the bounds of the association. In September 1836, the church called a Council, consisting of James Gossans and James Gawthrop, which met with the church October 8, 1836, and on the following day proceeded to his ordination to the full work of the Gospel ministry. Rev. Griffin served as pastor of the Jones Run church for a number of years.

Rev. Griffin was one of the organizers of the Broad run Baptist Association, at Broad run Baptist church, Lewis County, October 16, 1835, which was before he was ordained in to Gospel ministry. he was one of the organizers and the first moderator of Mr. Pisgah Association, which was organized at Mr. Pisgah Church, Gilmer County, October 27, 1854. The churches he served were located mostly within the bounds of Broad Run, Judson and Mr. Pisgah Associations. He died, Sunday, August 18, 1867 at the age of sixty-eight. Benjamin S Griffin, on the constituent members of the church during the time of this pastorate, was a brother. Rev. Griffin has many lineal descendants now living in Harrison County. Lloyd Griffin, on of our faithful members, who, for a number of years was Assistant Cashier of the West Virginia Bank, then sheriff of Harrison County, Division chief of Internal Revenue Collector, Deputy Banking commissioner, and now Clerk and Treasurer of the city of Clarksburg, is a grandson. Mrs. Chester (Ollie Griffin) Elliott, Route #1, Wilsonburg, is a great-granddaughter. Rev. George D. Griffin, one of the noblest of men, who served a successful and inspiring pastor of many of our local churches, now retired and living with a daughter in a happy home in Buchannon, is also a grandson. A great, great grandson who bears his name is serving his country at present in the armed forces somewhere in the Pacific, having enlisted in the Marines at the beginning of the Second World War.

Rev. James S. Griffin was a good preacher, a man of strong convictions, stood high in the councils of his brethren, and was known for his unflinching fidelity to his divine calling.

"The first entry in the minute book of the Tenmile Meeting House on April 9, 1831, shows how on Baptist Church grew out of an established church nearby: "Whereas Brother john Allen had liberty granted him from Hepsibah Church to exercise his gifts in the way of preaching for twelve months in the bounds of the Association resolved by his request, this church gave him the same bounds and length of time and appointed David Harbert clerk to keep a record of all business. (signed) John Allen, Sarah Allen, John Gifford, David Harbert, Elizabeth Harbert, Mary Ann Swiger, Jane Harbert, Malinda Stout, Massy Gifford, Margaret Madden, James Griffin, Martha Griffin, Ruth Hall, Jerre Harbert, Julian Martin, Agnes Dye." (Jones Run Baptist Church, Minute Book; West Virginia University Library) The Tenmile Church moved to Jones Run and on January 13, 1855, changed the name to the Jones Run Baptist Church. The last building that housed the congregation (dedicated 1902) burned in 1959 after being struck by lightning. The church no longer exists."
