This work originated in a desire of the author—a desire in 
which he will venture to assume that his kindred among the liv- 
ing participate—to acquire information concerning the ancestry 
and lineage of the Shattuck family. The blood that courses 
through our veins had flowed through a long succession of gen- 
erations before it was parted into the drops which make us akin 
to each other, as well as to those who preceded us on these 
scenes of life. Who were these, our family progenitors ? What 
were their names? When, and where, and how did they live? 
What were their occupations? Were their means of subsistence 
scanty or ample ? What were their characteristics, physical, 
mental, and moral ? What position in society did they sustain ? 
What were the incidents of their lives, by which their fortunes 
and their destiny were influenced ? What marriage alliances did 
they form ? And, what influence did these alliances exert upon 
themselves and their children ? Inquiries like these have arisen 
almost instinctively in the mind of the author; and he has con- 
sidered it an enterprise worthy of attention to search for the 
facts by which answers and solutions might be obtained. 
All of the author’s American ancestors, both paternal and ma- 
ternal, from their origin in this country, through six or seven 
generations, were natives or early settlers of Middlesex County, 
Massachusetts. While collecting materials for the History of 
Concord and the adjoining towns—the central section of that 
county—which was published in 1835, he met with many facts, 
incidents, and traditions, relating to the personal history of these 
ancestors; and from those materials a brief, imperfect sketch, 
comprised in a few pages, and relating principally to the direct 2 
INTRODUCTION. 
line of his own descent, was prepared. It was intended for pri- 
vate inspection only, and not for publication. This manuscript 
has, however, been seen by several persons; and he has been 
repeatedly requested to print it for the use of the family. In 
1853, he consented to yield to this solicitation, provided such 
further information could be obtained as would enable him to 
make a work more satisfactory to himself. The whole genealo- 
gy of the family has since been reinvestigated; and inquiries 
have been extended to very many branches, with whose history 
he was unacquainted, and the result is here presented. The few 
manuscript pages of the original memoirs have been superseded 
by an entire new work, so largely increased as to become a 
volume. 
The means of information for a work like this are personal 
inquiry and oral communications; traditions and recollections of 
elderly persons ; family registers and private papers; inscriptions 
on monuments and grave stones; public records and documents— 
society, parish, church, town, county, and state, and of literary 
and other associations; deeds, wills, and other papers, relating to 
the transfer and settlement of estates, usually, though not always, 
found in the offices of the Register of Deeds and Register of 
Probate ; correspondence with living individuals; and works and 
papers in manuscript, or already printed. These extensive and 
authentic sources of information have been examined; and they 
have, as far as practicable, been laid under contribution for these 
Memorials. 
It has been found that traditions relating to the early history 
of families, like those relating to other matters, are generally 
vague and uncertain; and such as relate to the same person or 
event, when given by different narrators, do not always agree. 
The stories of elderly people should certainly be obtained, but they 
cannot be depended upon alone as positive evidence of a fact, for 
they are sometimes incorrect, and are useful only as imperfect 
indications, which may lead to the truth by further investigation, 
and by a comparison with other evidence. A large majority of 
families and individuals leave no memorial, either upon record 
or in tradition, that they have lived; or, if any be left, it is 
too indistinct to identify their history, descent, or connections. 
Though family registers are of obvious utility and importance, ORIGIN OF THE WORK. 
3 
yet such registers are made and preserved by few families, and 
good ones by a still less number. This omission to perform a 
duty may have arisen from the want of a proper method for mak- 
ing the entries, from negligence, or from some other cause. It 
has been an immemorial custom, where family records are made 
at all, to enter them on blank leaves, inserted between the two 
Testaments in the Bible; but, even in this imperfect form, they 
have been very much neglected, and comparatively few such 
records of past generations are now in existence.* For the first 
hundred years after the settlement of New England the public 
registration of births, marriages, and deaths, was more gen- 
erally made than for the last hundred years; and though many 
of the records have been destroyed by accident, or by the care- 
lessness or negligence of those into whose custody they were 
placed, yet family history can generally be more fully obtained 
in the earlier than in the later period. It is difficult, if not im- 
possible, to compile a genealogy from the public records for the 
last seventy-five years; and future investigators will find this 
period a hiatus difficult to get over. “An impassable gulf will 
yawn between those ancient and modern times, spanned only by 
the treacherous and uncertain bridge of conjecture.” The intro- 
duction of the new system of registration within the last ten 
years, if faithfully carried out, will henceforward obviate the 
difficulty, and render the history of families originating hereafter 
more easily obtained. This measure will do more for genealogy 
than all others combined. Sometimes, when public records exist 
in the offices of town clerks or in churches, they are found to be 
erroneous. Their errors often arise from the imperfectness of the 
* This custom probably originated among those who regarded such records sacred, like the 
book in which they were contained. Though this may have been a reason for the custom, yet it 
seems to us that they are now out of place in such an inclosure. In earlier times, when Bibles 
were more rare than at present, and when they were regarded with greater veneration, and pre- 
served with more care as sacred treasures, it might have been more proper, but they have now 
become so common that no one more than another can be considered by way of distinction the 
Family Bible, and as peculiarly the proper one for a Family Register. Besides, they cannot 
contain the proper forms for the entries; and by frequent use they are exposed to injury and 
loss. The better method is to have the family record kept in a separate volume by itself, con- 
structed upon such a plan, and containing such blank forms, as will admit of entries being am- 
plified and extended according to the taste and means of information of different individuals. A 
more comprehensive signification has been given to a perfect register of this kind than the mere 
entry of the names of one’s own immediate family and the dates of their births, marriages, and 
deaths. These should form an indispensable part of it; but information should, as far as possi- 
ble, be included in regard to other families immediately connected, and particularly those in the 
lines of descent from the earliest known ancestor 5 and they should embrace such facts, incidents 
and traditions as would illustrate their lives and characters, and the natural history of the race to 
which they belong. Such a Family Register, designed for general use, has been prepared by 
the author of these Memorials. 4 
INTRODUCTION. 
information communicated to the recorder, or from his own care- 
lessness ; at other times, though rarely, from a criminal design 
either to slander the dead, or to falsify statements regarding the 
living. Frequently deeds are not publicly recorded, notwith- 
standing such record is necessary to secure a perfect title to the 
property. A majority of estates are settled without the aid of 
the Probate Court, and of course the papers relating to them 
are not public, and if preserved at all can be found only in pri- 
vate collections. Sometimes, when an estate is entered for set- 
tlement in the probate office, papers which are very useful to 
illustrate some points of a person’s history, or that of his family, are 
not recorded with his will, nor with the administrator’s accounts, 
but are found in the files of the court. The author has addressed 
letters to every one of his name in this country, so far as his 
knowledge extended, whose history was not previously known 
to him,'or which was not obtained in some other way. From a 
very large proportion he has received prompt, full, and accurate 
replies. From others he has obtained less satisfactory informa- 
tion. A very few have made no answer at all, even after repeat- 
ed solicitation. 
The author of genealogical memorials has to rely much upon 
the assistance and cooperation of others; and he must take the 
facts as communicated to him, or as presented upon record. Man- 
uscripts, often badly written, have to be deciphered ; and all state- 
ments received have to be carefully examined and compared with 
each other; and where errors are discovered in oral or written 
communications or traditions, or in town, church, or other rec- 
ords, or when one statement or authority conflicts with another, 
as is often the fact, the author is compelled to make corrections, 
or to adopt that which seems most probable. In copying dates 
mistakes are often made. A correspondent was furnished with 
an abstract of the information which he had communicated re- 
lating to his family; and in return he expressed surprise at an 
error which he discovered. On examination, however, it was 
found that the error was his own. He had given the wrong 
date in his first communication. Another writes thus, “ I do 
not know that this information is all correct, but I guess it is 
near enough for your purpose”! It is believed that few of our 
correspondents have been of this character. The author has ORIGIN OF THE WORK.

made it a maxim of life, that whatever is worth doing at all is 
worth doing well; and he always regrets to let a work pass out 
of his hands partly finished. The cases of imperfection, error, 
and wrong statement that have been presented have embarrassed 
the progress of the work, and very much increased the labor and 
expense of obtaining, comparing, and classifying the facts. They 
are, however, not peculiar to this work, but are presumed to be 
incidental generally to all enterprises of this kind. Every printed 
book, too, is liable to editorial and typographical errors; and 
these Memorials do not claim to be exempt from this liability. 
Among such a large mass of figures, names, dates, and other 
facts, it would be strange indeed if errors did not sometimes 
occur. It would, perhaps, be impossible to avoid them. Com- 
pleteness and perfection cannot, of course, be attained in relation 
to currents of life which, in some branches, are ceasing to flow, 
or which in others are disclosing new beings, or changing the 
relations of those already in existence, bringing to light new facts 
and new matters proper to be mentioned. Under all these cir- 
cumstances the author does not claim to present a work free from 
imperfections. He does claim, however, to have used all his 
industry, sagacity and care, and to have spared no labor or ex- 
pense to render the Memorials as full and as accurate as possible. 
And it is probable that they are, in the main, nearly correct. 
As many other matters press upon him, requiring attention, he 
feels compelled to submit the manuscript to the printer, imperfect 
though it may be, rather than wait longer for further corrections 
and additions. Those who are not noticed, or whose families 
and connections are imperfectly given, or not given at all, must 
attribute it, in some instances at least, to the imperfection of the 
information they have communicated, or to their own entire 
neglect. They should look kindly upon the author’s labors, and 
not criticise too harshly, for some of the defects or blemishes 
may perhaps be justly chargeable to themselves. 
Iu these Memorials appear notices of the birth of many indi- 
viduals, about whom no records or traditions have been dis- 
covered by us, by which their history, or that of their posterity, 
if any have existed, could be traced. Some also may have been 
bom whose names are not included with the others of their 
family here given. Perhaps, however, some of these undescribed 6 
INTRODUCTION. 
persons, should they see these pages, may here find the informa- 
tion by which their own connection with our original progenitor, 
or some of his descendants or kindred, may be ascertained. We 
most deeply regret that our ancestors left so few memorials of 
themselves for the gratification and improvement of their suc- 
cessors. Many facts and incidents of their history, if now known, 
would greatly interest us. They were, however, too much em- 
ployed, or did not sufficiently anticipate the desires of their pos- 
terity, to place upon record a description of their persons, or of 
the vicissitudes of their lives—the toils they suffered, the trials 
through which they passed, or the triumphs they achieved. 
These can hardly be conceivable by us now, and must forever 
remain unknown. The few elementary facts which they actual- 
ly did leave, are fast fading away; and the difficulty of ascer- 
taining them, always great, is constantly increasing. We have 
endeavored to gather up the few scattered fragments of their 
history existing in the various sources of information here indi- 
cated, fully believing that the work has already been delayed too 
long, and if not done soon will be impossible to be done at all. 
We have arranged the information in a systematic and enduring 
form, accessible and intelligible to all. We most earnestly urge 
upon existing generations to spare their posterity this regret and 
this labor, in regard to themselves. The information existing in 
living minds should now be committed to writing. Every branch 
of the family, and all persons of the name, and their kindred of 
other names, before it is too late, should gather up the events of 
their own history, and trace out and ascertain, as far as possible, 
their precise connection and relationship to some individual men- 
tioned in these Memorials. If errors are discovered in the ac- 
counts here given they should be corrected ; and such additional 
facts, incidents and traditions relating to any person, as may be 
known, and are worthy of preservation, should be carefully writ- 
ten out on blank leaves inserted in the end of the volume, or in 
a separate Family Register, which should be kept by every 
family. And this history should be continued onwards, year 
after year, from one generation to another. Each one of us 
should consider it a sacred duty to perform this labor. It is due 
to our ancestors, and to our posterity. Those that come after us 
will hold us responsible for its discharge. Difference in wealth ORIGIN OF THE WORK. 
7 
and social position, or any disrespect we may entertain from any 
cause towards any one, will not excuse us. Let us leave to our 
kindred and to our descendants a memorial of our own existence, 
and an example worthy of imitation. What legacy could we 
transmit to our children and our children’s children which they 
would more highly prize ? 
To prepare and print a work of this kind involves no inconsid- 
erable labor and expense. It cannot be undertaken as a mere 
money-making affair, for the demand for it must necessarily be 
limited to the families of the name, and to their immediate con- 
nections. Sometimes liberal subscriptions are obtained towards 
the cost of such a book ; or it is purchased generally and freely 
by those interested. At other times, hardly enough are sold to 
pay the expense of printing, leaving nothing for the cost of col- 
lecting the information and of preparing it for the press. It 
would be a matter of deep regret and mortification to find that a 
sordid, unworthy motive had induced any one to withhold in- 
formation from a work prompted by so kind and friendly inten- 
tions. The obligations of the contributors and of the author are 
mutual. If he who furnishes information is entitled to consider- 
ation, he who prepares it for the press, and pays the expense of 
the printed page upon which it appears, has, to say the least, 
equal claims. The privilege of having an account of a family 
inserted in the book is generally considered more than an equiva- 
lent for the labor of furnishing the facts to the editor. If any 
one should so far misapprehend the author’s motives in this en- 
terprise, as to consider them mercenary, it is hoped that a perusal 
of the work itself will correct such an error. Though the labor- 
er is worthy of his hire, yet he would not have undertaken it, 
unless moved to it by other considerations. He desired to make 
a book which would be acceptable to those for whom it is espec- 
ially designed ; interesting to be read and referred to ; and useful 
in suggesting motives to elevate and improve personal character. 
And he feels some assurance that he has succeeded. Should it 
be approved and generally sought for by those interested; and 
should it be prized, preserved, and have the influence desired, he 
will be satisfied. But whatever may be the success of the work, 
or the pecuniary result of the undertaking, he feels conscious of 
a sincere desire not to wrong any individual, but to promote the 8 
INTRODUCTION. 
honor and respectability of the name, and to confer a real sub- 
stantial benefit upon the family. He will hope that his inten- 
tions and his labors will meet the approbation of his kindred ; 
and that they will all regard with favor his efforts to perpetuate 
the history of the race. He will at least have the satisfaction of 
introducing to each other many individuals not hitherto known 
as cousins or relatives; and of rescuing for preservation the fact, 
that the persons here named existed, which might otherwise 
have been forgotten and passed into oblivion. Most persons soon 
become, in the ordinary history of human life, as if they had 
never been. The announcement that “he is dead,” may create 
a temporary sensation, but it is soon forgotten. In a few years 
no one can be found who can say, “ I remember him.” If oth- 
erwise, the cases will be exceptional ones. These more endurable 
records will be an evidence that we have lived. 
This book owes much of its fulness and value to those individ- 
uals who have favored our purpose and zealously aided in fur- 
nishing information. Posterity will unite with us in feelings of 
gratitude for their labors. All contributors cannot be mentioned, 
but it would be injustice to omit special acknowledgments to 
Geo. A. Shattuck of Andover, who furnished the principal part 
of the information concerning the posterity of Joseph Shattuck ; 
to Noah Shattuck of Groton ; to Lovell Shattuck of Pepper- 
ell ; to Alvan Shattuck of Hinsdale, N. H., and to Sylvester 
Judd of Northampton. Some other contributions will be par- 
ticularly acknowledged in the body of the work. 
The name of Shattuck is of doubtful origin. Whether it was 
assumed as a whole in nearly its present form, or whether it is 
compounded of parts of other names; or whether it had any 
specific meaning; or what changes it underwent antecedent to 
the date of its earliest history known to us, is now entirely 
hypothetical. Its proper orthography is Shattuck; and its 
proper pronunciation as if written Shat'-uk, with the accent on 
the first syllable. This spelling and pronunciation should be 
insisted upon, and every deviation from it avoided. Few names, 
however, have been presented in a greater variety of written 
forms. This has been occasioned, probably, by the different ORIGIN OF THE NAME. 
9 
modes of its pronunciation, and by a representation of its pho- 
netic sounds by letters. Sometimes it is written nearly in con- 
formity with the true orthography and pronunciation, as Shatac, 
Shattauk, Shathooke, Shathauk, and Shatoc, Shattock, Shat- 
tocke. At other times the pronunciation is varied by substitut- 
ing the sounds of d for t, and o for n, and is written Shadduck, 
Shadock, Shadoc, and Chaddock, Chadduck, Chadock, Chadoc, 
&c. It is also written Shaddic, Chadwick, Chadwyke, Chadioke, 
Chadioc. Shattocke was the spelling in use when our first 
American ancestors emigrated to this country, and it is still in 
use in some of the municipal registers in England. 
Chaddock, or Chadduck, as a distinct name, has been occa- 
sionally, though rarely borne, by persons from the first settlement 
of New England. Winthrop, in 1643, makes mention of “one 
Captain John Chaddock, son of him that was governor of Ber- 
muda, a godly gentleman.” There was a Thomas Chaddock of 
Newbury, who married Sarah Walcott in 1674. Elias Chaddock 
(sometimes written Shaddock and Shadock) died in Windsor, 
Conn., in 1676, leaving a daughter Hannah, and a widow 
Hannah who married, in 1678, Benjamin Egelson. James 
Chadduck was paid, in 1676, by the governor at Hartford, £5 
“for his services as commissioner, besides his soldier’s pay.” 
Samuel and John Shaddock were taxed in Boston in 1695. 
What the true name in these cases was, whether Chaddock, 
Shattuck, or Chadwick, or whether they were, or were not, all 
one name, is uncertain. Rev. Calvin Chadduck, who was grad- 
uated at Dartmouth College in 1791, and afterwards lived in 
Rochester and Hanover, and died in Virginia, (see Barry’s His- 
tory of Hanover, pp. 70, 93, 263,) was father of E. N. Chaddock, 
once of New Bedford, and now of Boston. His mother, Mala- 
tiah, died in the latter place, October 5, 1854, aged 84. The 
father of Rev. Calvin was Joseph Chadduck of Brookfield, and 
his grandfather is said to have been of Reading, and his original 
name is supposed to have been Chadwick. David “ Shaddock,” 
probably a descendant of this Joseph, now of Buffalo, was the 
son of Isaac Shaddock, and born in Boston. 
Chadwick has sometimes been regarded another form of the 
name of Shattuck, and as originating from the same source. 
This may have been true as to its origin in England, but it has 10

ever been borne by separate and distinct families from the first 
settlement of this country. There was a Charles, a John, and a 
Thomas Chadwick, in Watertown, sons of Charles Chadwick, 
and contemporary with our ancestor, the first William Shattuck, 
and, as far as can be ascertained, not his relatives. Their names 
were, however, occasionally written both ways in the records, 
the one for the other. Entries of “John Chadwick,” April 7th, 
and “ John Shadduck,” June 4th, 1685, relating to the same 
person, are found upon the records of Watertown. The entry of 
“Mary Shattuck, daughter of John and Mary Shattuck, born the 
14th of December, 1678,” should be Mary Chadwick, daughter 
of John and Sarah Chadwick. There was a Samuel Chadwick 
(sometimes written Shattuck,) in Woburn, in 1675. He had 
children who lived in Reading, and he was probably the ancestor 
of Rev. Calvin Chadduck, before mentioned. Joseph Chadwick, 
who married Mary Jenkins, in Malden, in 1732, is supposed to 
have been his grandson. Others of this name are found else- 
where in New England. A curious illustration of the variations 
in its orthography appears upon the records of Worcester County. 
In 1765, “Henry Shaddick” was appointed administrator on the 
estate of his father “Joseph Chadwick.” In 1767, “John Shad- 
dick” of Worcester, executed a will, mentioning his son “Joseph 
Chadwick;” while in 1787, “ David Shattuck,” of the same 
family, purchased lands. The true name of these cases was un- 
doubtedly Chadwick, but it is curious that such variations should 
appear in official documents, nearly contemporary, relating to the 
same family. Thomas P. Shaddick, now of Boston, whose father 
lives in Middletown, Conn., probably originated from the Chad- 
wicks. 
The name of Shattuck, though not very rare, cannot be con- 
sidered as very common. It occasionally appeared upon the rec- 
ords of Essex County, in connection with Samuel Shattuck and 
his posterity, from 1641 to 1735; but it afterwards became 
extinct in that line. It, however, has appeared in that county 
relating to Joseph Shattuck of Andover, a different branch of the 
family, and has continued there for the last hundred and twenty- 
five years. In Watertown, Middlesex County, the residence of 
our first American ancestor, it often occurred for the first hundred 
years after its settlement, but for the last hundred years is not ORIGIN OF THE NAME.

found upon the town records. Three of the grandsons of the first 
William settled in Groton. Descendants of one of them have 
ever lived in that town, as now constituted. Descendants of the 
other two were the principal settlers of that part of Groton which 
is now comprised within the town of Peppered. This territory, 
originally a part of Groton, was incorporated, in 1742, as a sep- 
arate parish, and, in 1753, as a town. The Shattucks and their 
connections were the largest original proprietors, and owned the 
largest part of this town. The name is now and ever has been, 
more common there than any other. In 1761, of the 106 families 
then in Peppered, 11, or nearly 11£ per cent., bore the name of 
Shattuck. In 1853, of 426 legal voters, 36, or nearly 8j percent., 
bore the same name. Rev. Mr. Emerson, the first minister of 
Peppered, is said to have remarked, that “he sometimes regretted 
that he did not marry a Shattuck, for he should then have been 
related to the whole town” ! The name does not appear in the 
Indices of the Suffolk Records prior to 1800, excepting in con- 
nection with William Shattuck, then a distinguished merchant of 
Boston, or his family. A mortgage deed to Josiah Shattuck of 
Cambridge occurs, as the only exception. William, just men- 
tioned, is the only instance which appeared in the Boston Direc- 
tory prior to 1800. Dr. George Cheyne Shattuck is the next in 
the Directory, and first appeared in 1809, then the only repre- 
sentative of the name. In 1830, five of the name are found in the 
Directory; in 1835, six; in 1840, ten ; in 1845, nineteen ; and in 
1850, twenty-one. It has not often appeared in the Directories of 
other cities. In that of New York, for 1853, one only is found ; 
two in Philadelphia, none in Baltimore, two in Buffalo, and two 
in Cincinnati. It now occurs, however, in nearly every state in 
the Union. Prom a statement, presently to be exhibited, it is 
supposed that four or five thousand of all ages and sexes are now 
existing who bear the name, all of whom, probably, originated 
from William Shattuck, the Memorials of whose posterity consti- 
tute the principal part of this work. 
Thirteen of the name of Shattuck had graduated at the dif- 
ferent colleges in New England prior to 1853. Six at Harvard—

1797; George 0., 1831; George O., 1851. Five at Dartmouth—

of Chadduck, at Dartmouth—Calvin, 1791. Five by the name 
of Chadwick, one at Harvard—Benjamin, 1770; two at Dart- 
mouth—George, 1825; William, 1830; one at Yale—Joseph, 
1821; and one at Bowdoin—Edmund, 1840. Dr. George C. 
Shattuck left a legacy to Harvard College, which has been set 
apart to constitute four scholarships, and denominated “ Shattuck 
Scholarships.” The name is therefore likely to be perpetuated 
in that institution. 
Few attempts have been made to ascertain the European 
origin and history of the family. Our design has been to trace 
our ancestors back to that heroic and noble band of Puritan emi- 
grants who first settled New England, and gave it its distinctive 
character; and to exhibit the different generations of their 
descendants, Americanized and modified by the circumstances 
of their existence, and by the peculiar institutions they have 
aided in founding, and with which they have been connected or 
surrounded. This has been considered a sufficient gratification 
for the labor required. The difficulties of authenticating a connec- 
tion between an American and English ancestor are so great, that 
we prefer to leave the problem unsolved, rather than to assume 
any relationship from any cause unsupported by conclusive evi- 
dence.* A tradition has existed that the family were of German 
origin; but if such be the fact, which is not improbable, it must 
have existed there in a very remote antiquity. It may have been, 
and probably was, among the Angles and Saxons, or Anglo-Sax- 
ons of the northerly part of Continental Europe, who peopled 
* After this was written we received the valuable work of the Rev. Joseph Hunter of London 
on “ The Founders of New Plymouth.” In a note (p. 6,) the author desires, “in the most 
friendly spirit, to offer a hint or two to our brethren in New England,” and says :—“ No geneal- 
ogy is of the least value that is not supported by sufficient evidence from records or other con- 
temporary writing. The mere possession of a surname which coincides with that of an English 
family is no proof of connection with that family. Claims of alliance founded on this basis are 
not the legitimate offspring of laborious genealogical inquiry, but of self love, and the desire to 
found a reputation for ancestorial honor where no such honor is really due. Search out the 
history of your ancestors by all means: but claim no more than you can show to belong to 
you. As far as you can prove you are safe, and you are doing a work that is good : but the 
assumption of the armorial distinctions of eminent English families who happen to bear the same 
surname with yourselves is not to be approved, and still less to claim alliance with the ancient 
nobility or gentry of England. When it can be proved, well and good : but no terms can be too 
severe to reprobate it where there is no proof, or even where there is no show of probability. It 
may lead to unfounded claims, not only to honor, but to property.” And he proceeds to state 
that Winslow. Brewster, and Bradford are the only passengers in the Mayflower who have been 
traced to an English birth place. Guided by these wise suggestions, some of our genealogical 
structures would have to be repaired or remodeled before they would become safe dwelling- 
places. ORIGIN OF THE NAME.

England and America with their most shrewd and energetic races. 
If we adopted terms in common use in our day, we might 
denominate ourselves Americanized-Anglo-Saxons. 
A friend of ours, in making researches for other purposes, inci- 
dentally met with some facts, from which it appears that he 
found the name in Old England more than a hundred years 
before the settlement of New England. In the year 1525 Sam- 
uel Shattocke and Alice Shattocke of Tolland, in Somerset- 
shire, appear upon the Rolls which contain the Assessments of 
the Subsidies granted by Parliament. At Wells, in that county, 
are deposited the will of John Shattocke of Beckenaller, proved 
in 1533, which mentions son Thomas and relative John Grant; 
and the will of Alexander Shattocke of Bagborough, proved 
in 1588, which mentions sons Alexander, Robert, and William, 
daughters Joan and Dorothy, wife Susan, executrix, brother 
Richard Shattocke, and witnessed by George Shattocke and 
others. In the Subsidy Rolls for 1597, John Shattuck was 
assessed for lands, and William Shattocke and Joanna Shattuck 
of Burland were assessed for goods ; Henry Shattocke of Bishops 
for lands; Isota Shattocke, widow of Elworthy, for lands; 
Thomas Shattocke of Cumberland, for lands ; Robert Shattock 
of Norton, for goods; Henry Shattocke of Westminster, for 
goods. In the same Rolls for 1628, Humphrey Shattocke of the 
same place was assessed for lands. And in 1642, Philip Shat- 
tuck of Taunton, Thomas Shattocke of Kingston, the widow 
Shattocke of Staplegrove, and Henry Shattocke of Norton, were 
assessed for the same purpose. In the parish register of St. Law- 
rence in Reading, Berkshire, are found the baptism of the follow- 
ing children of William Shattuck:—William, May 3, 1628; 
Susan, Sept. 14, 1632 ; Elizabeth, April 29, 1635. Also, the 
marriage of Samuel Shattuck and Mary Snell, July 19, 1628 ; 
and the burial of Elizabeth Shattuck, Dec. 31, 1636. The name 
might probably be discovered in other counties, by an examina- 
tion of the records.* These facts show that the family were

owners of lands and other property—evidences of respectability 
at that time, in that country. The name is still found in some 
of the counties above mentioned, and in other parts of England. 
John Shattocke, whose name appears in the London Directory for 
1824, and George Shattuck, in that of 1841, are the only instan- 
ces of its occurrence in those years in that city. 
In printed works we often find mentioned names which it 
has been supposed were once synonymous with ours. William 
Chaddock was one of the “ pilgrims from England to Rome,” in 
1582. Joseph Chaddock, Esq. married Mary Chetham of Derby- 
shire, in 1703. Thomas Chaddock was of Congleton, in 1831. 
And this name occasionally, though rarely, occurs elsewhere. 
In 1570 there was a Chittock who owned a manor in Norfolk- 
shire, but whether this name had an origin similar to the other 
names we have mentioned is conjectural. 
Chadwick is a name of great antiquity in England. In Burke’s 
Landed Gentry, and in his Commoners, (Vol. Ill, p. 444,) it is 
stated that William de Chadwyke, said to have been the first of the 
name upon record, was born about the year 1355, five hundred 
years ago, and was living in 1413. He had sons William and 
John de Chadwyke, and perhaps other children. There was also 
a Nicholas de Chadwycke, nearly contemporary with the above 
William, but whether a relative or descendant is not positively 
stated. He was born in the time of Edward III., and died before 
1443. He also had a son, John de Chadwick. Alliances were 
formed between these and other patrician families; and from 
them have descended a long line of nobility and gentry, some of 
whom are still existing in England. There were other descend- 
ants, who were not entitled to armorial bearings. The family 
were possessed of large estates in the hamlet of Chadwick, in 
Lancashire, and elsewhere. 
Chadioke is another ancient name, which bears some resem- 
blance to Shattuck, and which, it is conjectured, might have 
been originally the same. There was a Sir John de Chydeoke 
(sometimes written Chideoke, and Chadeoke,) who was one of 
the Barons of Somersetshire, as early as the thirteenth century; 
and who, in the time of Henry VII., was described as one of the 
“noble families related to the Blood Royal.” From him were 
descended, in male or female lines, many families of great dis- GENERAL VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT.

tinction, and of great wealth, as well as others in the untitled 
ranks.* 
History shows that as great and even greater alterations have 
been made in process of time in the orthography of names, as 
would be required to change Chaddock, Chadwick, and Chad- 
ioke into Shattuck. And an assumption that some of the fam- 
ilies by the name of Shattuck, in Somersetshire and elsewhere, 
already mentioned, and even our own American ancestor, Wil- 
liam Shattuck, were descended from William de Chadwyke, or 
John de Chadioke, might not be farther from the truth than are 
some genealogical deductions we have seen published. And 
yet such an assumption is not proved; and it rests upon proba- 
bilities too feeble to be claimed with entire confidence. If any 
portion of noble blood, derived from these sources, courses in our 
veins, it is imperceptible, and is too small to remain uncontrolled 
by larger portions derived from other sources.

It may be asked, Why are these Memorials printed ? What is 
there in the history of this family to render it worthy of being 
handed down to posterity upon the more endurable records of the 
press ? Wre answer, nothing which does not belong in common 
to many other families. We deem it right and proper, however, 
that such Memorials should be prepared and printed concerning 
every family, for its own use and benefit, whatever may be its 
circumstances and social position. And when it is announced 
upon the title-page as “printed for the family” only, not “pub- 
lished,” it is a matter in which the public have no right to inter- 
fere, or to criticise and censure if prepared in an unsatisfactory 
manner. No one, however, can have a stronger dislike than the 
author to make any such history, whether the family be of pa- 
trician or plebeian origin or rank, a cause of family pride, or of 
egotistic, ostentatious display. Nothing can be more distasteful

or absurd. We have had a higher purpose in view. We have 
desired to preserve an accurate record of persons, classed in gen- 
erations and families, to assist in obtaining a knowledge of an- 
cestry ; and to illustrate the history of men as they are, and as 
they have been in older times; and of the race to which we 
belong, and of our own constitution and organization, in partic- 
ular. From these facts we hope to derive philosophical and 
moral lessons, which may be useful in practical life. Though 
there may not be in the history and condition of the Shattuck 
family much to boast of, yet there is as little, perhaps, as in most 
other families equally numerous, to be ashamed of. Though 
they have not been exempt from the common frailties, imperfec- 
tions and errors of human nature, yet very rarely, indeed, has 
the name appeared in the criminal calendar. In one instance, 
which will claim our notice, the offence was rather a political 
than a moral one. While few have been eminently rich, few 
have been public paupers.* They have generally belonged to 
the well-to-do, the neither-riches-nor-poverty class, born happily 
because they were not born rich, and blessed with the necessity 
of laboring for their subsistence, and of being the architects of 
their own fortune, and with a capacity and a disposition to per- 
form what that necessity required. Their industry, energy, and 
perseverance, and their power of physical endurance under labor, 
and even under hardship and suffering, will compare favorably 
with that of any other race. A majority of them have been 
farmers and mechanics. Some have possessed the restless, change- 
able character, peculiar to many of the New England population, 
and have thrown aside their usual occupations, and followed 
new employments and new pursuits, and in new localities, as the 
exigencies of life seemed to require. They have formed a fair 
average specimen of the honest, independent yeomanry of New 
England—that class of men and women who make the foundation 
strength and energy of the republic ; and who can be relied upon, 
generally, for its peace, stability, and progress; and, in cases of 
emergency, for its protection and preservation. They have, in 
the main, been independent thinkers, stable in their opinions, not

afraid to express them on any proper occasion, and unwilling to 
submit to oppression or unreasonable dictation. Many of the 
name, possessing strong common sense and great energy of char- 
acter have existed ; yet too little attention, perhaps, has been paid 
by the family, generally, to intellectual cultivation and improve- 
ment. There have been among them wise and good men in 
each generation ; but comparatively few have been elevated to 
posts of social power and influence, or exalted and distinguished 
in the world’s esteem ; nor have they been conspicuous as heroes, 
statesmen, or men of letters, in the public historical annals of the 
country. This may be owing partly to the accidental circum- 
stances of their lives, which may have prevented or may not 
have favored the development of native talent, or called it forth 
upon great emergencies in public life ; or to theii' neglect of op- 
portunities which might have been improved for their advance- 
ment and promotion. But perhaps it has arisen more frequently 
from their characteristic love of peace and retirement; from their 
preference of honest industry to the strife and uncertainty of 
public life; and from their deep hatred of the arts and acts of 
demagogues to obtain, unasked and undeserving, public station 
and power. A majority of the existing generations have belonged 
to the democratic division of the two, great political parties of the 
country, though very many exceptions have been found among 
the whigs and other parties. They have generally been honest, 
peaceable, and worthy citizens, respectable and useful in their 
sphere. A large average proportion of them have been professors 
of religion, and eminently moral Christian men and Christian 
women, careful in the performance of all duty arising from such 
professions, and mindful of the higher and ultimate purpose of 
their creation. The Memorials of a family even of this character 
will not, it is supposed, be without their utility, particularly to 
those for whom they are especially designed. 
It is difficult for us, enjoying our comfortable, peaceful homes, 
our labor-saving machinery, our means of locomotion, the circu- 
lation of printed information, and the other peculiar advantages 
of the present age, to picture to the imagination the true condi- 
tion of the early settlers of New England; to look back upon 
their living households ; to obtain a clear idea of their every-day 
interior and exterior life, and to compare their circumstances with 18

our own. Yet such a view, even if it be imperfect, cannot but 
be interesting and useful. 
Then, salt beef and pork, boiled with such yegetables as could 
be had, constituted the usual dinner. Fresh meat was a great 
rarity. Potatoes are among comparatively modern eatables, of not 
more than one hundred years’ culture. Bean-porridge, or brown 
bread and milk when it could be obtained, formed the morning 
and evening meals. Wheat flour, tea and coffee, were only 
occasional luxuries. Now, we are fed with a greater variety of 
food, prepared more nicely, and served in different style, but 
without producing better health or more enduring constitutions. 
Then, the mothers and daughters were all workers. They 
hired no help, or, if they did, the distinction between the kitchen 
laborers and the parlor was unknown. They not only performed 
the ordinary household work, but they were manufacturers and 
tailors. By their hand cards, their spinning wheels, their looms 
and their needles, the wool and flax, produced on their farms, 
were converted into clothing for themselves, for husbands, for 
fathers, and for children. Fine woollen, linen or silk fabrics 
were used only by a few of the favored aristocracy. Now, arti- 
cles made by labor-saving machinery, or imported from foreign 
countries, have taken the place of the domestic manufactures; 
and “accomplishments” are substituted for many former useful 
female employments. 
Then, the means of locomotion consisted of an ox-cart, or the 
back of a horse furnished with saddle and pillion, and designed 
to carry from place to place, at a slow pace, a father, mother, and 
several children. A chaise, or even a wagon, was a curiosity. 
Now, means are provided to “run to and fro.” Many of us go 
every morning from our homes to our places of business, and 
return again at evening, twenty, thirty, or more miles—an un- 
dertaking which would have occasioned our fathers a long period 
of anxious preparation, and many an earnest petition to Heaven 
for a prosperous journey and a safe return. 
Then, the only means of information concerning passing events 
were verbal or written communications from one person to another, 
forwarded by special messengers and by the tardy means of con- 
veyance then in use. Newspapers and periodical literature were 
unknown. The Bible, the Psalter, and a few religious books, 19 
constituted nearly the whole reading. Now, steam and lightning 
distribute printed accounts of almost everything that occurs, and 
of some things that do not occur, to nearly every man’s door, 
every day of the year. All are taught to read ; and newspapers, 
periodical works, books and other printed matter, are scattered 
like flakes in a snow shower over the land, to inform, corrupt, or 
improve the people. 
GENERAL VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT. 
Then, in fine, the habits and modes of living were simple and 
frugal. Personal wants were few ; and, even with the limited 
means of supply, few remained unsatisfied. All were workers— 
few were drones. Boys and girls, as soon as they acquired 
muscular power, were taught to apply it to some useful purpose. 
Every one was required to make the most of life, and none were 
allowed to waste it in idleness. Yet contentment and happiness 
generally reigned in their humble abodes, and amid all their labo- 
rious toil. Their firm and inflexible integrity allowed them to 
subsist by honest means only. Now, new habits and new modes 
of life are introduced, in many cases for the better but in others 
for the worse. Artificial wants have become greatly multiplied. 
What were once luxuries have now become necessaries. But 
though the means of gratification are indefinitely extended, the 
supply hardly equals the demand. Life has become too often 
rather a race for riches, or for fashionable folly, than an earnest 
desire for happiness; and, in the means to attain the end, crime 
sometimes overleaps integrity. Sons of wealthy or weak parents 
are often brought up in idleness and self-indulgence, and daugh- 
ters in ignorance of the labors and duties of domestic life, essen- 
tial to render home prosperous and happy. Many thus waste 
their days, consume the earnings of the more honest and indus- 
trious, and contribute nothing to their own higher good and hap- 
piness, or to the general welfare and happiness of others. 
Some of our ancestors were pioneer settlers in the wilderness; 
and while subduing the forests and preparing the soil for the 
dwelling-places of civilization, they were often surrounded by 
savage men and wild beasts, watching to plunder them of their 
scanty means of subsistence or to destroy their lives. Yet they 
braved those dangers with indomitable courage and unyielding 
wills; endured the toil and trials incident to their situation with 
fortitude, cheerfulness and hope ; and submitted to privations and 20 
suffering without murmuring, and in uniform trust in the recti- 
tude of their purpose and in the righteousness of Heaven. They 
“acted well their part” in introducing new and noble features 
into the progress of humanity. By their virtues, by their heroic 
deeds, by their sufferings, by the shedding of their blood, they 
aided in founding a government recognizing political equality 
and religious freedom. They left a goodly heritage to their 
posterity. We ought to be grateful to them for the legacies they 
have bequeathed to us ; and should transmit the great inheritance 
to our successors, not only unimpaired but improved by our own 
efforts, stimulated by their wisdom, experience and example. 
We should remember that our descendants will look back upon 
us as we do upon our ancestors and compare our merits with 
theirs. This should be a strong motive to move us to do what- 
ever can be done to elevate our own characters and to render our 
example and our achievements still more worthy of regard and 
imitation. We should leave to our heirs some proof “that in 
our estimate of public principle and private virtue, in our venera- 
tion of religion and piety, in our devotion to civil and religious 
liberty, in our regard for whatever advances human knowledge 
or improves human happiness, we are not altogether unworthy of 
our origin.” 
INTRODUCTION. 
A few of the early inhabitants of New England were descended 
from titled families in the Old Country; and it is natural that 
their posterity should feel some pleasure and pride in tracing their 
pedigree back to such progenitors. Pictures of coats-of-arms are 
found in very many families, purporting to have belonged to their 
ancestors. We have seen several such pictures, under some of 
which was written our name, or that of an ancestor of some other 
name. A few of these emblems of gentility, unmeaning though 
they may be to us simple republicans, are undoubtedly authentic. 
Some however belonged to collateral branches of the family, and 
were created after their separation from the particular one to 
which they profess to belong. Others were given to the same 
name but not to the same person as our ancestor; others were 
assumed without authority; and others are mythical in their 
origin, and have been handed down by tradition without reliable 
evidence of their authenticity. “ It is certain,” says Lower, “that 
comparatively few families of ancient gentry have any record GENERAL VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT. 
21 
of the date of their arms, or of their being conferred in a legal 
manner.” Very many of the coats-of-arms pictured and found 
in New England families, are fictions made to order, got up and 
misapplied by artists for money. About fifty or sixty years since 
there was carried on a considerable imposition of this kind upon 
the credulity of our fathers. One of the most prominent actors, 
now remembered, was a man by the name of Brinton, said to 
have been a deserter from the British army in Boston during the 
revolution. He was a man of considerable ability, learning, and 
artistic skill; had some knowledge of heraldry; and had access 
to pictures of many different heraldic emblems. For a consider- 
able time he obtained his living by visiting different families and 
painting what he falsely assured them was their coat-of-arms. 
He however really copied from those belonging to other families, 
or invented a fiction for the occasion. This man became ex- 
ceedingly intemperate and died in the alms-house in Groton—a 
state pauper. Even now there are in New York, and perhaps 
elsewhere, offices where coats-of-arms are sold as matters of busi- 
ness. And some of the money-proud, or conceited folks, who 
are justly untitled, purchase these counterfeit articles to be em- 
blazoned on their houses, their furniture, or their equipage, as 
ornaments, and to establish their claim to be ranked with the 
aristocracy and the nobility! Knowing these facts, we have not 
placed a high value upon these doubtful, mythical evidences of a 
noble ancestry. 
We would not undervalue a descent from the nobility of 
England, especially if there was nobility of character as well as 
title ; nor the important influence which such an ancestry should 
have to produce noble traits of character in posterity. It ought 
to be remembered, however, that a title to nobility, even when 
proved to be authentic, is not always an evidence of real worth. 
It is said to have been conferred originally as a mark of distinc- 
tion upon gentlemen, and to elevate the possessor above the 
masses, for his birth, his wealth, his office, or his heroic deeds, as 
one of the leading class of his age. But it has long been a sub- 
ject of barter and sale ; and has often been given, not as a reward 
of merit, but for other reasons, to base men, and inherited by 
others still more unworthy. Many a title has been obtained by 
accident and fraud. “ The whole tendency of the creations dur- 22 
ing the last century was to vulgarize the institution. Of thirty- 
two Peers whom George II. made, five only are calculated to 
have been country gentlemen of ancient descent and good estates; 
and the old titles died almost as quickly as the new ones were 
made.” (Westminster Review, July, 1853.) Every person 
has two parents, four grandparents, eight of the fourth genera- 
tion, sixteen of the fifth, thirty-two of the sixth, sixty-four of the 
seventh, and one hundred and twenty-eight of the eighth, doub- 
ling the quarterings, as they are called, in each degree of removal 
into the past. The eighth generally carries the New Englander 
back to an English ancestor existing at the first settlement of this 
country. To boast of a descent from noble blood when one one- 
hundred-and-twenty-eighth part, or quartering, or a more minute 
portion, only, is of that character, would he like claiming that a 
small spring in the Rocky Mountains gave its character to the Mis- 
sissippi. If it is an honor to be the architect of one’s own fortune, 
and to have a title conferred on that account, the nearer in descent 
we are to the architect the greater the honor. The influence of the 
nobility has been constantly decreasing as civilization and intelli- 
gence increases; and in no period has it been less than at present. 
“ Germany, the most aristocratic country in Europe, owes her 
great modern renown in the world of intellect to men who did 
not belong to her rigid and long-descended and strict-quartering 
nobility.” But whatever estimate may be placed on such an 
inheritance, authentic or assumed, real or imaginary, it will be 
found poor capital to live upon. Lord Bacon has remarked that 
they who derive their worth from their ancestors resemble “ po- 
tatoes, the most valuable part of which is under ground.” It is 
one of the excellencies of our institutions that the mantle of no 
man’s nobility or distinction descends to his posterity. A man 
who claims to be aristocratic, and assumes a leadership among 
his fellows on account of his ancestral antecedents, and does 
nothing worthy of his position, disgraces himself. Those alone 
should be distinguished who distinguish themselves. Every man 
is valued or should be valued according to his own merit. He 
himself, not his titled ancestors or connections, is the main article 
in the inventory, and the value of that article he has made chiefly 
himself. Even wealth itself, into whatever large heaps it may be 
accumulated, although it often gives a false idea of one’s really

deserved position in society, soon becomes distributed or annihi- 
lated by succeeding generations. Poor descendants have to begin 
again to work up the hill of life to wealth and eminence as new 
aspirants. Under the old Colonial and Provincial laws the eldest 
son had a double portion; but this distinction was very properly 
abolished in 1780. All children now share alike. The wealth, the 
character, the nobility of every man now generally depend upon 
himself. All are not born with equal capacity, but the avenues to 
excellence and to distinction are open equally to all. Whosoever 
will may enter therein. Every man, whatever be his condition, 
can acquire, if he tries, those traits of character and that position 
among his fellows, which should entitle him to be considered a 
gentleman. 
But while we throw aside an ancestral title as of little value in 
itself considered, there are dangers in this country from other 
sources. Too much sickly sentimentality, and too many false 
ideas of true greatness, or what should be considered the true 
glory of the human race, prevail amongst us. Wealth instead of 
character too often gives a social position undeserved by antece- 
dent respectability, education, moral worth, or personal manners 
and refinement. It is said that four of the most elegant and costly 
dwellings in the Fifth Avenue in New York,—the noted resi- 
dence of millionaires and the aristocracy of wealth,—are owned 
by a button maker, a candy manufacturer, a sarsaparilla vender, 
and one made suddenly rich by California steamboating. The 
accumulation of wealth is most certainly to be commended, if 
there are combined in its possessors those traits of character which 
give it its true nobility; and many such instances exist in this 
country. It increases the bad man’s means of self-indulgence and 
crime and the good man’s means of independence and usefulness. 
But there are to be found some families and individuals, who, 
from having become suddenly rich or from other cause, strive to 
assume aristocratic airs and a style of living which does not be- 
come them, and in which they do not seem at home. Such per- 
sons often indulge a family pride, exhibit a love of ostentatious 
display, and look with disfavor upon those they consider their 
inferiors in wealth or station, viewing themselves for an unknown 
reason as belonging to the better class of people. They have no 
desire to learn anything of their ancestors or connections because 24 
INTRODUCTION. 
they were poor, or because they suppose them beneath them- 
selves. Their children spend with freedom—their daughters 
upon useless vanities, and their sons upon something worse— 
the hard earnings of industry and toil, but for the laborers them- 
selves they have little respect. This class of persons may be 
said to belong to the upper ten-dom, or the aristocracy, of folly, 
and are subjects rather for ridicule or compassion than for regard. 
Others, however, are not of this character. “ Charles,” said a 
certain true nobleman, “ you see that little shop; I have brought 
you here on purpose to show it to you. In that shop your grand- 
father used to shave for a penny. That is the proudest reflection 
of my life” ! It was once said—“ Who amongst us can go back 
two generations without running his head against a ploughshare 
or an anvil ? And he is somewhat lucky if he can hit anything 
as genteel as these.” Whether this was said in soberness or in 
jest, or by one who would forget his progenitors, it is a forcible 
illustration of the peculiar excellence of our institutions. Almost 
all our great men, in the general estimation of the world, have 
had a comparatively humble origin. If we look into Boston, 
New York, or any other great commercial mart, and see who are 
and have been the solid men, the opulent merchants, the influen- 
tial citizens, the “ aristocracy,” we shall find that they are gen- 
erally natives of the country towns—sons of farmers and me- 
chanics, who have been taught the value of a dollar, and how to 
earn it by their own industry, and how to take care of it and to 
use it to the best advantage after it was earned. They learned, 
early in life, that self-reliance is the surest guarantee of individual 
success and personal independence. Though of moderate pos- 
sessions, those fathers and mothers taught their children how to 
live within their means, and how to make the most of those 
means; and so to economize time, money and self-gratification 
as to live honestly and happily upon a small and limited income. 
They impressed upon them their virtues and their characters, 
which under different circumstances have often been the founda- 
tion of great moral worth, commercial or professional success, or 
colossal fortunes. If there be any just cause of ancestral pride it 
is for a descent from such progenitors. Who would not prefer it 
to that of a descent from a nobility or an aristocracy which rests 
its claim to distinction upon a title, or upon accidental wealth or GENERAL VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT.

other circumstances unaccompanied by those traits of physical, 
intellectual and moral worth without which there is no real ex- 
cellence ? Nature’s noblemen and noblewomen are confined to 
no place or occupation, but are found everywhere—on the farm, 
in the workshop, in the humble walks of domestic life, as well 
as in professional ranks, and among the entitled aristocracy, or 
the aristocracy of money. Many persons—men and women— 
though they may not have left any visible foot-prints upon their 
age, may nevertheless have planted the seeds of an influence 
which may germinate, grow to maturity, and sway the destiny 
of nations. “One soweth and another reapeth.” “It is the 
strong-handed, intelligent, laborious, independent, and virtuous 
yeomanry of New England that have made what was once a 
frowning wilderness, now the smiling abode of plenty, the happy 
home of contented thousands that own and till her soil, the 
fruitful mother of other thousands that carry New England 
hearts and New England principles into every state and section 
of our great country, modelling their institutions after those of 
their native land.” 
“ Nil me poeniteat sanum patris hujus; eoque 
Non, ut mag'na dolo factum negat esse suo pars, 
Quod non ingenuos babeat clarosque parentes, 
Sic me defendam.”*—(Horace, Book I. Satire VI.) 
Families, like nations and like individual man himself, are sub- 
ject to growth and decay. They have their periods of prosperity 
and adversity. Their circumstances do not long remain the same ; 
but often vacillate in the ups and downs—the vicissitudes of life. 
In physical capability, in intellectual capacity, in wealth, in social 
position, and in moral influence, they rise, culminate, and decline, 
in successive periods and generations. The history of the changes 
by which they are marked is an interesting and useful subject of 
investigation; and it is abundantly illustrated by instructive ex- 
amples in almost every one’s own experience and observation. 
A family whose history is now remembered, descended from 
“noble blood,” rose to distinction and were for many years the 
leaders in an important New England town where they resided ; 
* “ Nor, while my senses hold, shall I repent 
Of such a father, nor with pride resent, 
As many do, th’ involuntary disgrace 
Not to be born of an illustrious race.” 26 
INTRODUCTION. 
but at length their fortunes gradually waned; and the last of the 
name in that town died in the alms-house. An off-shoot, how- 
ever, settled in another locality, renewed its ancestral energies, 
and again became eminent. Similar changes have occurred in 
numerous families. It has always been so ; and in the Old Coun- 
try more than in this. Very few of the families from whom the 
present nobility of England descend, existed in patrician ranks 
at the settlement of New England two hundred years ago. The 
race of nobles is constantly dying out and becoming extinct; and 
the vacuum has to be filled by new creations from the plebeian 
ranks; or, if sustained at all, by a union with plebeian blood. 
We learn from the history of these families that they “bud, 
flower and die. Industry, energy, and perseverance beget wealth 
and position. These, allied with ability, talent and refinement, 
produce distinction and eminence ; but prodigality, decay, insan- 
ity or annihilation generally follows.”* This series of changes 
happens in a shorter or longer period according to attendant cir- 
cumstances. In some cases they are passed rapidly in two or three 
generations; in others they may be prolonged to eight or nine as 
their extreme limit. These facts are familiar to any one who 
may have paid any considerable attention to the subject. It is 
said by a recent writer (Westminster Review, July, 1853) that 
the last male heir of the once great family of Earls of Stafford, 
allied to the Royal blood, after several generations “ died without 
issue, which was the best thing he could do; but his sister, Jane 
Stafford, married a joiner and produced a cobbler; and the poor 
fellow had only to step 1 beyond his last’ to claim kin with all 
that was noblest in England.” Such persons literally descend 
from a higher to a lower, from a noble to an ignoble, ancestral 
station. These facts tend greatly to modify existing family pride. 
Those who choose may indulge it, but we prefer the ascending 
scale, even should it begin at the “ploughshare,” the “anvil,” or 
the “last.” 
Human history and experience show that there are no declara- 
tions more hopeful to the good, or more awful to the bad, and 
yet more true, than that “ the iniquities of the fathers are visited

upon the children and upon the children’s children unto the third 
and fourth generation;” and that “I have never seen the right- 
eous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.” The strength and 
the weakness, the intellect and the mental imbecility, the indus- 
try and the laziness, the energy and the inertion, the morality 
and the immorality, of the father and the mother, or of either of 
them, do not end with their lives, but descend to a greater or less 
extent to their posterity. The prosperity, the fortunes, the des- 
tiny of children, too, as well as their physical and mental charac- 
teristics, are made the better for the virtues, and the worse for the 
vices, of their parents. There is scarcely any family in which 
great diversity of circumstances has not existed, and in which at 
different periods great changes have not taken place, producing 
great alterations in relative wealth, social position, and moral 
influence. At one time it may be comparatively unknown in 
society; at another, among the most distinguished. Again, the 
circumstances of life may change and bring it into obscurity. 
And in the same family some members attain among their fellows 
a position in wealth and in social and moral influence, almost 
enviable; while others, sometimes with no apparent ill-desert, 
struggle through life in comparative poverty—almost unnoticed 
and unknown. Why is it so ? V7ere the causes analyzed, an 
answer might in most cases be obtained. And is it not of im- 
portance to know what produces these great changes—this great 
diversity of character and circumstances, that in our struggles 
with our own propensities and with the influences that surround 
us, to resist evil and temptation to evil, and to acquire compe- 
tence and respectability, we may avoid the mistakes committed 
by others, escape the disasters that have fallen upon them; and 
that we may acquire all that the most highly favored have en- 
joyed, and be all the most worthy have been ? This is possible 
notwithstanding any unfortunate antecedents; and in this way 
we can come off conquerors over internal and external imper- 
fection and error, and learn to meet with more manliness, energy, 
and propriety the vicissitudes of life, and be better prepared for 
its close. We venerate the memory of our ancestors, and like to 
study their history. We desire to know the physical, mental and 
moral elements that were combined to form their characters. 
We would not however hold them up as faultless. They lived 28 
in an age of darkness, compared with our own. Like other men 
they had the faults of their nature and of their age—their blem- 
ishes—their sunny sides and their shady sides. If any erred, by 
knowing how and why they erred we ourselves might be in- 
duced to conduct differently. The very record of an error is 
not without its utility. If any made a wreck of their fortunes or 
their character, or did not attain the full development of their 
natures, or failed to leave a favorable mark upon their age or no 
mark at all, it is well that the rock on which they foundered 
should be mapped upon the voyage of life, that it may be avoid- 
ed by future navigators. The superior light of the present age 
should guide to a more successful result—to a more worthy and 
honorable position. 
INTRODUCTION. 
We are fully aware that a difference of opinion prevails as to 
the value and importance of Memorials like these. Some persons 
regard such matters with indifference. There are those who 
exist in the supreme selfishness of the present, and have no 
regard to antecedents and consequences. They live, but how 
they came to live they know not, and seem not to care ; and in 
regard to the purpose or consequences of their lives they seem to 
be equally unconcerned. We have met with persons, and some 
of education too, who could not tell the date of their own birth or 
marriage, or of that of their children ; and with others who could 
not tell the names, much less the character, of their grandparents 
or other ancestors; and who seemed to care as little as they 
knew. “My ancestors left me nothing,” say they, “and why 
should I remember them.”—“ Posterity has done nothing for me, 
and why should I do anything for posterity”! Such ignorance 
and such indifference seem to us unpardonable. Burke uttered a 
noble sentiment when he said, “Those only deserve to be re- 
membered by posterity who treasure up the history of their 
ancestors.” Another author has remarked that “he who pays 
no regard to his ancestors is a bad man.” Whether this be true 
or not it may be safely said that such an one is unworthy to have 
had any ancestors, and does not deserve to be remembered by pos- 
terity, if he should happen to have any. If he is not treated with 
indifference and neglect, or in .memory forgotten, it will not be 
because it was undeserved. We do not belong to this class of 
persons. But while this matter of ancestry, genealogy, and per- GENERAL VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT. 
29 
sonal history is regarded as an important object of knowledge, it 
should be estimated aright, and among other matters it should 
have its proper place and receive its appropriate share of atten- 
tion. It should not be exalted above nor sunk below its just 
value. We would not have it administer to a weak pride nor to 
a grovelling avarice. While we would not be indifferent to the 
past and future we would not disregard the present. A knowl- 
edge of those who gave us form, brought us into existence, and 
made us what we are, seems required to satisfy the promptings of 
our nature. A strong desire exists in the author’s own mind, at 
least, to know something of those who have preceded us in this 
drama of life, and of the manner in which they have performed their 
respective parts. We believe with Mr. Webster, (Works, Yol. I. 
p. 6,) that “there is a moral and philosophical respect for our 
ancestors, which elevates the character and improves the heart. 
Next to the sense of religious duty and moral feeling, I hardly 
know what should bear with stronger obligation on a liberal and 
enlightened mind, than a consciousness of an alliance with ex- 
cellence which is departed; and a consciousness too, that in its 
acts and conduct, and even in its sentiments and thoughts, it 
may be actively operating on the happiness of those that come 
after it.” 
Those who choose may regard the names and dates in these 
Memorials as dry and uninteresting. In our view they form an 
essential part of the picture intended to be presented. Without 
such facts the history and exhibition of no life would be complete. 
A knowledge of the date of a birth, a marriage, or a death—the 
three most important epochs in the history of individuals—has 
been the means of saving, and the want of it of losing an estate. 
But besides these and other important purposes presently to be 
noticed, they ought to suggest some useful moral thought. What 
a day was each of these dates to some human family, or to some 
circle of loving human hearts like our own ! How much of joy 
or sorrow, of hope or despair, is hidden under these significant 
facts! Each is a memorial, not of death only, but of life ;—of 
a human heart that once lived and loved, “a heart that kept 
its steady pulsations through some certain period of time and 
then ceased to act and mouldered into dust ; of an individual 
human life that had its joys and its sorrows, its cares and its 30 
burdens, its afflictions and its hopes, its conflicts and its achieve- 
ments, its opportunities wasted and improved, and its hour of 
death.” 
INTRODUCTION. 
A distinguished individual now living has said that the reflections 
of his father at his own birth and baptism which he discovered 
several years after his parent’s death “made an impression upon his 
mind which was never effaced. It proved, he verily believed, to 
be that word in season so often efficacious in leading the thoughts 
too much engrossed by the world to the one thing needful.” 
This certainly should be the effect of discovering the written 
expression of the desires of a pious parent, anxious for the wel- 
fare of his children. A review of the lives and history of virtu- 
ous ancestors—those who have lived without reproach and per- 
formed useful service in their day and generation, and who have 
died leaving a good name and a good character as a legacy to 
their posterity, assuredly should always arouse whatever of good 
there is in our- natures, and lead us to aspire to whatever of good 
it is possible for us to attain. It should move us onward to 
more wise and more energetic and persevering efforts, to fill up 
life with useful and noble deeds; to a more active performance 
of every duty of our station, whatever that station may be ; and 
to a more earnest desire to preserve and hand down of ourselves a 
good name and a good character to our posterity. Life may thus 
be crowned with an honorable success and completeness, instead 
of being disgraced as a failure. In these Memorials we behold a 
mirror which reflects our own image,—what we have been, and 
what we must become—our origin and our destiny. They make 
us all conscious, whatever may have been our ancestry, that 
our existence here is only temporary, and that this world is not 
to be our permanent abode. They show us multitudes of human 
beings, some of whom are ever in-coming or out-going. Like a 
moving panorama, they exhibit living individuals, who for brief 
periods perform their parts and then pass away, leaving their 
places to be filled by others, who in their turn perform similar parts 
and have similar exits. Here we see some currents of life that 
are ceasing to flow; there, others that are sending forth new 
branches, expanding into other channels of greater magnitude 
and of more extended capabilities. At one time, we see little 
ones receding from our view, ere they are able to share in the PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY. 
31 
activities that surround them; at another, others are ceasing 
their course, just as they are blossoming into manhood or wom- 
anhood; then, some in the full vigor of middle age disappear; and 
again, others laden with the fruits of old age, or the blossoms of 
second childhood. An exit happens alike to all without distinc- 
tion of age, sex, or condition. And these scenes are repeated 
onward and onward, “ ever varying, yet ever the same.” We 
ourselves are seen as the present living actors; but soon others 
will have our places in the exhibition. We also shall have 
passed out of sight, and be numbered with those who have float- 
ed down the stream of time, to be swallowed up in the ocean of 
eternity ! What lessons of life does such a picture teach! With 
what significance are they impressed upon us! Cold and callous 
indeed must be the heart of any one who can peruse these pages, 
and especially those relating to his own kindred, with personal 
indifference, or without personal improvement. As we look over 
these Memorials may we be moved to aspire to a higher and 
nobler position, and to a better type of excellence, in humanity; 
to struggle constantly to live aright, and so worthily as to be at 
peace with our own consciences, our fellow men and our Creator; 
ever to strive while we live, to make ourselves and the world 
around us better and happier; and may we never cease to remem- 
ber that to improve our hearts and form our characters, we now 
enjoy our only time, and that the present is our only opportunity, 
antecedent to this mortal putting on immortality!

Genealogical investigations should have two great objects in 
view: First, to ascertain and record the most important facts in 
the history of generations, families and individual persons; and, 
secondly, to abstract, analyze, and classify these facts so that 
they may illustrate the Natural History of the race to which they 
refer. The former may be denominated Historical Genealogy, 32 
INTRODUCTION. 
and the latter Philosophical Genealogy. Hitherto, investigations 
have been confined almost exclusively to the first department of 
these inquiries; and the incidents of personal history have pos- 
sessed sufficient interest to secure attention. Philosophical Ge- 
nealogy is, however, of much more importance. The great 
truths it develops might be applied to facilitate our personal 
improvement, and to increase our happiness in the every-day 
acts and duties of life. Considered in this light, Genealogy be- 
comes a science of the utmost utility. Though it has as yet 
received little attention, and been but imperfectly understood or 
appreciated, it should nevertheless be a popular science, and 
should take its place among the most important objects deserving 
attention and investigation :— 
“ The proper study of mankind is man.” 
The general characteristics of a family are perpetuated through 
successive generations. Modifications and even peculiarities may, 
however, be introduced, and may be transmitted for shorter or 
longer periods, though there is a constant tendency in nature to 
return to the original type. It is well known that different races 
and different families of the same race, do not uniformly possess 
the same characteristics; and that they often differ materially 
from each other. Even the different members of the same fami- 
ly frequently exhibit great diversity in their natural capacities 
and propensities. Some families and individuals are remarkable 
for their muscular power, their industry, energy and perseverance; 
others for their mental superiority ; some for other characteristics, 
physical, intellectual, or moral; and others for opposite or different 
qualities. Some seem to inherit a predisposition to consumption, 
apoplexy, fever, insanity, or other disease, which will be devel- 
oped under circumstances that favor it; while others seem en- 
tirely exempt from such tendencies, and can expose themselves 
to hazards with impunity. The transmission of these character- 
istics is not uniform. In some cases they affect a part of the 
progeny only; in others they skip one or two generations to 
reappear in a grandchild or a great-grandchild. The size, form, 
complexion, color of the hair and eyes, or other physical, or 
even intellectual or moral traits of character, may be produced by 
the peculiarities of the father or of the mother, or by a combina- 
tion of the peculiarities of both. Offspring often resemble the PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY. 
33 
paternal grandparent more than the father; and the children of a 
wife by her second husband have been known to bear a greater 
resemblance to her first husband than to their own father. Some- 
times the peculiar circumstances and propensities existing at the 
time of generation, and especially the condition, association and 
influences of the mother during gestation, may originate a new 
trait of character, which may be transmitted to the “ third and 
fourth generation,” or until eradicated by other causes and cir- 
cumstances. The characteristics of a noble and generous, as well 
as of a mean and grovelling nature, may be perpetuated through 
many generations. Other elements, however, may be introduced, 
and other influences may be brought into combination, which 
may exterminate or modify good or bad qualities, and produce 
other types of character differing from the originals that have 
preceded them. The causes of good and evil which often hover 
over the history and destiny of families, to enlighten or darken the 
domestic fireside, are often traced to the marriages of individuals, 
which have an immense influence upon their happiness, pros- 
perity and perpetuity. Many husbands are unworthy of their 
wives, and many wives are unworthy of their husbands,—the 
one unfit or uncongenial to the other, either in physical or mental 
capacity, or in social or moral training; and such alliances should 
never have been formed. Eminent naturalists have stated, and 
probably truly, that if they could have the control of mar- 
riage connections, and determine what persons should be united, 
they could produce a race of idiots, or a race of nature’s noble- 
men. 
These principles rest upon the well-established fact in nature, 
that like produces like. They are of the highest importance, and 
should be well understood. We have already alluded (p. 25) to 
the rise and fall of families. Many of the causes of these changes 
lie in this direction. Every one should be aware that in all mat- 
ters relating to his physical and intellectual, as well as to his 
moral powers, he can make the good better and the bad worse by 
his own conduct and by the social connections he forms. And it 
is well that he should thoroughly study and understand the 
history and condition of his own constitution, and the causes 
which have made it what it is, and the means which may be 
used to make it better, and to transmit it improved to others. 34 
INTRODUCTION. 
What is the character of the blood that courses in his veins ? 
To what propensities does it lead ? What traits of character does 
it tend to develop ? And how can a bad impulse be restrained 
and a good one enlarged and transmitted ? The same informa- 
tion should, as far as possible, be obtained concerning the person 
with whom a marriage union is proposed, male or female, that 
the probable results of such a union may be anticipated, and 
whether they would be likely to improve the physical, mental 
and moral condition of the race or otherwise. Marriages be- 
tween relatives of the same family should if possible be avoided. 
Preference should always be given to an admixture of different 
blood. If this matter was fully understood it would greatly aid 
in guarding against those propensities which are opposed to health 
and happiness and in increasing those that promote them; and 
be more likely to produce sound minds in sound constitutions in 
the offspring. This is a practical suggestion. “1 know a case,” 
says a recent English writer, “ where a besetting weakness in 
the blood had for four generations prevented the prosperity of 
the family; the fifth in descent, having penetrated the secret 
cause of his family misfortunes, resolved to conquer and crush 
the impulse, which was quite as strong in himself as in his 
progenitors. He did so and succeeded in establishing his fam- 
ily.” Similar results have followed very many other efforts of 
the kind. 
We do not propose, in this place, to discuss this great subject 
in its yarious bearings and relations; but we deem it proper to 
make these brief suggestions, as introductory to a statement of 
the results obtained by analysis and calculation from several 
classes of facts, which have been carefully abstracted from these 
Memorials. They are important illustrations of the Natural His- 
tory and Physical Characteristics of the family, and will un- 
doubtedly be interesting and useful to them and perhaps to oth- 
ers. If genealogists would publish similar deductions concerning 
other families, founded on full and accurate data, we might pos- 
sess, more fully than we now do, the means of ascertaining the 
laws of human life existing in this country, and the changes, if 
any, that have taken place in relation to these laws in the differ- 
ent periods of its history. To render such data perfect, the exact 
date of every birth, every marriage, and every death, in every PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY. 
35 
family, including those who die young as well as others, should 
always be accurately given. 
The personal conformation of our family, where its peculiar 
type prevails, has some distinctive characteristics. It may be de- 
scribed generally as of the medium height, full chested, thickly 
set, compactly built, and well proportioned, with rather more than 
the average weight and athletic or muscular power; the features 
usually full and regular, and the complexion fair; a constitution 
capable of enduring hardship and toil, and favorable to health and 
long life. There have been many males and females of com- 
paratively early maturity and of considerable beauty. Excep- 
tions to this general description, of course, have often occurred, 
produced by the admixture of different blood, or by other circum- 
stances and causes. Instances are not uncommon of persons 
slightly built and under the usual size and weight; and of others 
who have grown upwards above the usual height, and expanded 
outwards beyond the usual breadth; and of others who have had no 
traits of beauty to spare. One man writes us that he carries about 
with him a person weighing two hundred and fifty pounds; and 
other instances exist of similar corpulency. Another writes that 
he is six feet four inches high, and in other respects well propor- 
tioned. Another, that his four aunts were tall in person and 
weighed over two hundred pounds each, and yet were well pro- 
portioned and handsome women. The height and weight of 
persons differ from each other in the same stock and in the same 
families ; and the same person may vary in his weight in the differ- 
ent periods of life. The author is five feet nine inches high, and 
his average weight, until he was over forty years old, was about 
one hundred and forty pounds; now, at the age of sixty, it is 
two hundred pounds. If observations were carefully made and 
recorded in these matters relative to a considerable number of 
persons, and to the same persons at different ages, as they should 
always be, interesting comparisons and deductions might be 
made; but there are unfortunately too few relating to our family 
to be of very general utility in ascertaining the general law of 
our physical development and growth. 
The sex of 4,121 newly created lives, produced or descended 36 
INTRODUCTION. 
from our first American ancestor and named in these Memo- 
rials, has been determined. This number does not include all the 
descendants of the name, nor very many of those of other names. 
Several schedules were received after this abstract had been made. 
If these had been included, the aggregate numbers would be 
largely increased ; but the proportional results would probably be 
nearly the same as now ascertained. Of these 4,121 lives, 2,157 
were males and 1,964 were females; or for 100 females there have 
been born on the average 109 males. To ascertain how far this 
difference in the proportion of the sexes prevailed in different 
periods we have divided them into three groups,—those included 
in the first four generations, those of the fifth and sixth, and 
those of the seventh. And it appears that in the first group, of 
515 lives, 279 were males and 236 were females: or for 100 
females, 118 males were born. In the second group, of 2,073 
lives, 1,069 were males and 1,004 were females; or for 100 
females, 106 males were born. And in the third group, of 1,533 
lives, 809 were males and 724 were females; or for 100 females, 
112 males were born. It is a universal law of human life, in all 
nations, that more males than females are born, but the propor- 
tion of males to females here indicated is greater than the general 
average, and may be considered an evidence of a vigorous race."" 
Among these births were 72 twin children, or every 57th child 
was a twin. This is about the proportion that prevails, on the 
average, throughout the whole population of Massachusetts. It 
is a remarkable fact that the sexes of those 72 twin children were 
exactly equal. Several mothers had twins more than once. Two 
mothers, in two cases of birth, produced twins in each case, the 
one immediately succeeding the other. 
How many of the persons born lived to maturity and were 
married ? To answer this interesting question 1,037 lives in the 
first six generations have been examined, all the great epochs of 
whose history are given ; and we have obtained the following 
results. Of these 1,037 lives (561 males and 476 females.) 139, 
or 13.40 per cent., died under 20 years of age ; and 898, or 86.60 
per cent., lived over 20. Of 561 males, 76, or 13.55 per cent., 
died under 20, and 485, or 86.45 per cent., survived that age; 
and of 476 females, 63, or 13.24 per cent., died under 20, and 
413, or 86.76 per cent., survived 20, showing nearly equal tenac- PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY.

ity of life in the two sexes. Of the 485 males who lived over 
20 years, 442, or 91.13 per cent., were married, and 43, or 8.87 
per cent., were unmarried. Of the 413 females who survived 20 
years, 380, or 92.01 per cent., were married, and 33, or 7.99 per 
cent., were unmarried; indicating that the chances of marriage have 
been less than one per cent, in favor of the males, and that the prob- 
abilities of living a single life have been nearly equal in each sex. 
Of 898 persons of both sexes who lived over 20 years, 822, or 91.54 
per cent., were married, and 76, or 8.46 per cent., were unmar- 
ried ; showing that in our family, to persons who survived 20 years, 
the chances were 92 nearly in every 100 that they would be mar- 
ried,-and only 8 nearly in every 100 that they would live a single 
life. Of the whole 1,037 persons born, 822, or 79.27 per cent., 
were married, and 215, or 20.73 per cent., died unmarried. These 
figures show that a very high probability indeed of living to be 
married has prevailed. They may be somewhat higher in favor 
of marriage than all the facts would justify, if the natural history 
of every life was known and included. We suppose, however, it 
may be stated with truth that seventy-jive per cent., at least, of the 
persons born in the first six generations were married; and that 
twenty-jive per cent, only died in single life. We have not in- 
cluded all of the sixth, and none of the later generations, because 
the incompleteness of their lives does not afford the means of 
doing it correctly. On the most careful estimate that we have 
been able to make of these later lives it appears evident that a great- 
er proportion die at the present time under 20 years of age, and 
that of those that survive that age, a less proportion are married. 
And when a child is born, there is a less probability now, than in 
the earlier generations of our family in this country, that it will 
survive and be married. How great this difference is cannot be 
exactly ascertained, but it is probably not less than ten per cent., 
and may be more than that. But taking this to be true, two 
thirds nearly of the existing generations will live to be married, 
and one third will die unmarried. Even with this reduction in 
the physical vitality of the race, the remainder is probably greater 
and shows a higher degree of health, than the families of man- 
kind generally would average. 
By deducting the date of birth from the date of marriage, we 
have calculated the exact ages at marriage, in years, months, and 38

days, of 530 males, and 560 females, selected in course from these 
Memorials. These are all cases of first marriages, and include 
none of second marriages. We have divided them into four 
groups, according to the sexes and the periods of time in which 
the marriages were solemnized. The aggregates of the whole, 
for the first and for the last hundred years, are also given. The 
following statement exhibits the number of cases, and the aggre- 
gate age and the average age, in each group, showing the result

From this statement it appears that among the males the 
average age at marriage for the first hundred years, was 24 years 
10 months 14 days, and for the last hundred years, 25 years 1 
month 14 days, showing a difference between the two periods of 
only 2 months 0 days. Between the periods 1800 to 1825 and 
1825 to 1850, there is a difference of 7 months 25 days, and 
between the second and the last period, of 1 month 27 days. 
Among the females the average age at marriage for the first hun- 
dred years, was 20 years 10 months 16 days, and for the last 
hundred years, 22 years 8 months 4 days, showing a difference 
of 1 year 9 months 24 days; and it appears that the average age 
is greater and greater in each group, and that there is a difference 
between the first and the last group of 2 years 0 months 13 days. 
An impression prevails that marriages in our country are not con- 
tracted now as early as in former periods; and these figures seem 
to indicate that it is correct, but they do not exhibit so great a 
difference among males as females, nor so great a difference gen- 
erally as many have supposed. The youngest person at marriage 
was a female, aged 13 years 3 months 23 days; another female PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY. 
39 
married at 13 years 5 months 27 days; another at 13 years 8 
months 26 days; and another at 14 years 3 months 24 days. 
The oldest person married was a male, aged 88 years 9 months 
17 days—his second marriage. 
Of 377 marriages in the first six generations, 318, or 84.35 per 
cent., were first marriages; 53, or 14.06 per cent., were second 
marriages; and 6. or 1.59 per cent., were third marriages. Of 
the 53 second marriages, 29 produced children and 24 were un- 
productive. The 377 marriages of all kinds produced 2357 
children, or 61 nearly, on the average, for each marriage. The 
318 first marriages produced 2,228 children, or 7 on the average 
for each marriage. Seven may therefore be considered as the 
average number of children to a family in the first six genera- 
tions. An exact calculation in regard to the families in the 
seventh generation cannot be made; but as far as they may be 
estimated, the average number of children is not quite as great 
now as in the earlier generations, and probably the families will 
not average more than 6| instead of 7 to a family, and 6 to all 
the marriages. By examining these Memorials it will be found 
that a large number of families have had nine children each, so 
much so that that number among the Shattucks seems to have 
been a favorite. The author’s grandparents and great grand- 
parents had each nine children, all of whom in both families 
lived to be married. His great-great-grandparents had nine 
children also. 
The first female just mentioned, who was married at the age 
of 13 years 3 months 23 days, became a mother at 14 years 7 
months 28 days, and died aged 46. The second, who was mar- 
ried at 13 years 5 months 27 days, became a mother at 14 years 
9 months; and she had two grandchildren,—one by the eldest 
and one by the third child, before the birth of her own youngest 
child, making the nephews older than their uncle. The interval 
between the birth of her oldest and youngest child was 26 years 
7 months 19 days. The other female, who was married at 14 
years 3 months 24 days, was a mother at 15 years 6 months 2 
days. She had four children after the marriage of her third 
child, and had one grandchild by her second and four by her 
third child before the birth of her own youngest child. The 
oldest nephew was 5 years 9 months 22 days older than his aunt. 40 
INTRODUCTION. 
The interval between the birth of her oldest and youngest child 
was 27 years 7 months 23 days. The two mothers last named 
are now (1853) living, the first aged 74 and the second aged 60. 
The first has had eighteen, the other thirteen children, indicating 
that in these instances, at least, early marriages have not had an 
unfavorable influence on vitality. Another female married at 13 
years 8 months 26 days, but did not become a mother until 17 
years 2 months 24 days. These have been all the instances 
that we have found of females marrying under 16 years of age. 
One male, not a descendant but a connection, was the father of 
a daughter born when he was over 80 years of age. Another had 
a daughter born when he was 69 years 6 months 8 days. Sev- 
eral births of children by fathers aged from 50 to 60 years, are 
contained in this volume. 
The average intervals between the births of successive children 
of the same family are found by deducting the date of birth of 
the oldest from that of the youngest child, and dividing the dif- 
ference by one less than the whole number of children, twins 
being considered as one child. To ascertain the prevailing 
in this respect in our family we have calculated 313 cases in the 
first five generations, and 568 in the seventh ; and the result is as 
follows:—

From this statement there appears to be a difference of fourteen 
days only in the averages of the respective periods. There are 
some families in which the average was less than 2 and others in 
which it was more than 3 years, but 2 years 6 months may be 
considered as about the general average in this characteristic of 
the natural history of the race. 
The duration of married life, though it has not hitherto been 
investigated, is an interesting characteristic in the natural history 
of man. It is ascertained by deducting the date of its commence- 
ment or of marriage, from the date of its termination or of the 
death of either partner, the husband or the wife. We have 
selected 204 cases of first marriages from these Memorials, nearly 
all contained in the first six generations, in which all of the facts 
were known. None have been selected from the seventh genera- PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY. 
41 
tion, because the lives of the smaller portion already terminated are 
shorter than those of the larger portion yet to be terminated, and 
hence a fair average could not be obtained. Some imperfection 
may be supposed to attach to the number of facts in the early pe- 
riods, but as a whole they may be considered as data sufficiently 
ample for authentic and reliable deductions. The average duration 
of married life in these 204 cases was 31 years 8 months 15 days. 
The first 80 cases averaged 27 years 8 months 21 days, and the 
last 124 averaged 34 years 4 months 22 days. Dividing the last 
124 cases into three groups, the average duration of married life 
in these several groups does not vary from each other more than 
one year. From these facts it appears that during the first 100 
years after our ancestor settled in this country, the average dura- 
tion of married life was not as great, by nearly seven years, as 
during the last 100 years. That there was a difference appears 
evident, but whether as great as seven years admits of some 
doubt. If every case in the early generations were exactly 
known it would probably produce a different result, though it 
might not be very considerable. Of the 204 cases, 4 terminated 
under 1 year, 26 between 1 and 10, 29 between 10 and 20, 33 
between 20 and 30, 40 between 30 and 40, 37 between 40 and 
50, 29 between 50 and 60, and 6 over 60. The shortest period 
was 2 months 10 days, and the longest, 65 years 11 months 6 
days. The average duration of married life in our family may 
therefore be considered as about thirty-three years, or one third 
of a century. 
The average interval which elapsed between the first and 
second marriage in 36 cases of males was 2 years 8 months 3 
days. In 20 cases of females it Avas 4 years 0 months 5 days, 
showing that it is longer in the female than in the male, which 
it is believed will be found to be a general law in the population 
at large. The shortest interval among the males was 2 months 
IT days; the longest, 10 years 11 months. In one instance the 
first husband was the father of a child born after the mother’s 
marriage to her second husband. 
The average duration of the marriage relation in 30 cases of 
second marriages was 23 years 5 months 2 days, which may be 
considered as nearly a correct estimate. In a majority of these 
cases one or both of the parties were young; and hence there is 42 
INTRODUCTION. 
not as much difference in duration between first and second mar- 
riages, as might be supposed without an accurate knowledge of 
the facts. 
Of 195 cases, 120 husbands, or 62 per cent., died before their 
wives; and 75 wives, or 38 per cent., died before their husbands. 
And it has been found generally the fact that more females than 
males are left in widowhood ; but perhaps more extended investi- 
gations might show a proportion somewhat different from that 
indicated by these figures. 
The average duration of widowhood, or the length of time 
which elapses between the death of either husband or wife and 
the death of the survivor, has been calculated in first or single 
marriages. In 33 cases of males, it was 12 years 10 months 28 
days; in 79 cases of females it was 13 years 5 months 16 days, 
showing a difference between the sexes of 6 months 18 days 
only. And it is a remarkable fact, tending to show that this is 
nearly the average when applied to the race generally, that in 
dividing these cases into nearly equal groups, the average of each 
group does not differ one year from the average of the whole. 
The shortest period of widowhood among males was 5 months, 
and the longest, 46 years 4 months 21 days. The shortest 
among females was 9 days; the longest, 46 years 9 months 26 
days. 
The duration of life of each person is an interesting matter. 
The period of life it is well known is liable to be terminated at 
any moment after birth, but may be prolonged and in rare in- 
stances has been actually prolonged beyond 100 years. The end 
comes sooner or later according to the degree of vitality inherent 
in the constitution, and to the circumstances with which it is 
surrounded. To assist in ascertaining the laws of life, and the 
degree of vitality existing in our family, we have calculated the 
exact duration in years, months and days of each life, in every case 
where the dates of birth and death were known; and have based 
our calculations on all the known cases, whether dying young or 
otherwise, selected in the order in which they occurred in the first 
five and part of the sixth generations. So many lives are yet 
unfinished in the seventh and part of the sixth, that to separate 
these longer lives from the shorter ones already terminated would 
not give a fair average. The selection comprises 522 lives, (285 PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY. 
43 
males and 237 females,) and the calculation exhibits the follow-

This statement exhibits the aggregate number of persons of 
both sexes and of each sex, who died in the respective periods of 
life, or at the ages specified; the aggregate and the average ages; 
and the proportion per cent, in each period. The average ages 
of the 522 persons of both sexes was 53 years 6 months 8 days; 
of the 285 males, 53 years 1 month 14 days; and of the 237 
females, 54 years 0 months 0 days, showing a difference in their 
ages between the sexes of 8 months 16 days only. The average 
ages of 270 persons of both sexes who survived 60, was 76 years 
10 months 10 days; of the 142 males, 76 years 8 months 15 
days; and of the 128 females, 77 years 0 months 10 days, showing 
a difference of 3 months 25 days only in favor of females. The 
average ages of the males who died between the ages of 20 and 44 
INTRODUCTION. 
60, was 43 years 1 month 15 days, being 3 years 6 months 11 days 
greater than the ages of the females who died in the same period. 
The proportion of both sexes that died under 5 years of age, was 
only 11.68 per cent.; and of those that survived 60, it was 51.72 
per cent. The proportion that died under 5 and between 20 and 
60 years, was greater among the males than among the females ; 
but between the ages of 15 to 20 the proportion was more than 
double among the females, showing in regard to that sex that 
this is the most critical period in their lives and should be most 
carefully guarded. Other interesting comparisons might be drawn 
from this statement. The law of mortality, thus ascertained to 
exist in our family, is more favorable to a strong vital force and to, 
longevity than in the average of mankind. The average age of 
all the males who survived 20 years, was 63 years 5 months 1 
day. The average of 21,484 males of all professions, who died 
in Massachusetts during the last eight years, was 51 years 7 
months 27 days ; and of 6,747 farmers,—the most favored classes, 
63 years 11 months 4 days. This shows that our family lived on 
the average 11 years 9 months 4 days longer than the average of 
all the professions, and within 6 months 3 days of the average of 
the longest lived profession. In England the mean future life- 
time of a man aged 60 is calculated to be 14 years 2 months, or 
according to the foregoing statement, 2 years 8 months less than 
the mean future lifetime of a man of the same age in our family. 
The proportion of children that died under 5 years of age has 
been unusually small, being only 11.68 per cent., whilst in most 
of the cities 40 to 50 per cent, of all the deaths have been of 
persons under that age. 
It is an interesting fact that nearly the same results as are here 
presented, are obtained by subdividing the numbers into smaller 
groups according to the order of time in which they occurred. 
Dividing the 142 males and the 128 females into four groups 
each, the average age of each group will not differ 4 years from 
the average of the whole; and this uniformity prevails with the 
other ages specified in the statement. How far these favorable 
results would apply to existing generations—the present living 
descendants—is a matter of great interest, but one that is not 
easily ascertained. From the most careful estimate that we 
have been able to make, we are inclined to believe that the PHILOSOPHICAL GENEALOGY. 
45 
members of our family do not live quite as long on the average, 
or enjoy quite as strong vital force now, as they did in the gen- 
erations that have gone before us. This we believe to be true 
in regard to others. It is frequently said that owing to the 
great improvements in medical science mankind live longer 
now than formerly, but investigation leads us to the belief 
that this statement is erroneous. Numerous facts show that the 
average length of life is not now as great generally as it was 
fifty years since. 
The diseases and causes of death are most important facts in 
the natural history of a race, and they should be carefully stated 
in all Family Registers. The very small number of cases in 
which they are given in these Memorials, however, does not afford 
the means of making an abstract of any utility. Consumption, 
fever, apoplexy, and other diseases have prevailed ; but no pecul- 
iar liability to any one of these diseases appears to have been a 
characteristic of the family. In constitutions in which the Shat- 
tuck blood, or conformation, has been predominant, consumption 
seems to have been rare ; but in constitutions in which other 
blood seems to have had the greatest influence, that common 
but dreadful disease has been often developed and found fatal. 
Fever and apoplexy have been common in the family. It is 
important that every one should examine carefully the diseases 
and causes of death that have prevailed in the branches of the 
family from which he is descended, and with which he is im- 
mediately connected—his parents and his grandparents and each 
of their families and connections; and if a tendency to con- 
sumption, or any other known disease, is discovered, to take 
all proper measures to guard against its introduction or devel- 
opment. 
The number of the descendants of our first ancestor may be 
estimated by calculations from the data we have already given. 
If the average number of children to each family was seven, 
and if two thirds of all the children bom lived to be married, 
as has been stated in the foregoing pages, then, assuming ten 
to be the number of children in the second generation, as was 
actually the fact, and calculating the others, we obtain the fol- 
lowing results:— 46

If half of these numbers be allowed for the increase of an 
equal mixture of other blood, introduced by marriage, then the 
number of descendants of the eighth generation would be half of 
110,096 or 55,048; and the same proportion of those that die 
unmarried and of those that live to be married. But there have 
been intermarriages between descendants of the same blood and 
of the same name; and this would reduce the number still more. 
If ten per cent, for these intermarriages be deducted there would 
still be left nearly 50,000, as the descendants of one man in 
the eight generations! over 30,000 of whom will survive to be 
married! 
How many of these descendants, hearing the name of Shat luck, 
are now living ? An accurate answer to this question cannot be 
obtained. It can only be approximated. It has already been 
ascertained that the persons here noticed have been about equally 
divided between the sexes. TJie name can be perpetuated of 
course only through the male line. By dividing the above num- 
bers in the respective columns and generations into two equal 
parts, and by deducting ten per cent, for intermarriages between 
blood relations, we approximate the number that have borne the 
name in the different classes and generations. By referring to 
the following Memorials it will be perceived, that many of the 
sixth generation or children of the fifth, are still living; and a 
portion only of the seventh are yet in existence. A large num- 
ber of the eighth, a considerable number of the ninth, and a few 
of the tenth, are, however, already born. It would be nearly 
true to assume that the number of descendants of the name now 
existing is equal to the entire seventh generation as above 
estimated. Such being the case, we obtain by calculation 
(23,592-^-2—1,177)=10,594, as the whole number of descend- 47 
ants; and (15,728-1-2—786)=7,078, as the number that will 
probably survive and be married. Half of this number, or 5,297, 
(or 757 families of 7 each,) are descendants; and 3,539 will 
probably survive and be married, and bear the name of Shattuck. 
These numbers, obtained by estimation and calculation, are not 
presumed to be exactly correct, but 5,297 may be taken as an 
approximation to the actual number of persons of this name of all 
ages and sexes now existing in the United States. 
PLAN OF THE MEMORIALS EXPLAINED. 
iv. |)lira of ilje Httmorials Hflainefc. 
It is desirable that Genealogical Memorials should be so ar- 
ranged that the facts may be presented, as far as practicable, with 
fulness, accuracy, and perspicuity; and in a readable form. In 
proportion as this is accomplished the work will be valued by 
those who are competent to judge of its merits. While such 
Memorials should contain an entire record of successive genera- 
tions, families, and individuals, they should not be a mere collec- 
tion of names and dates, but should also embrace such other 
incidents relating to the history of separate lives as will illustrate 
their physical, intellectual, and moral characteristics, and thus 
provide matters of greater interest and utility for the reader. 
Many works of this kind have already been printed; and from 
the great attention paid to the subject they are likely to constitute 
a distinct department of literature. Dealing as they do, however, 
principally in facts and figures, they cannot be a medium for a 
display of the elegances of style, nor a proper basis upon which 
to found a reputation in authorship. And yet it is quite desira- 
ble that a plan might be devised which should embrace the best 
suggestions of different authors, and be adapted to general use. 
We have desired to ascertain concerning every person,—those 
who die young as well as those who survive to old age:— 
I.—1. The place and date of birth; 2. The name of the 
father and the maiden name of the mother; 3. The occupation 
or profession of males over 20 years of age ; 4. The place or 48 
places of settlement and residence, and the date of removal from 
one to another; 5. The place and date of death; 6. The dis- 
ease or cause of death ; and 7. The exact age at death, in years, 
months, and days. 
INTRODUCTION. 
II. If married, 1. The place and date of marriage; 2. By 
whom, and the whole name of the person to whom married; 
3. The place and date of birth of such person ; 4. The place 
and date of death; 5. The disease or cause of death ; 6. The 
exact age at death ; 7. If a male, the occupation or profession ; 
and 8. The name of the father and the maiden name of the 
mother, their residence, and any account of their ancestors, and 
of important incidents in their history. 
III. Other information will also be useful to illustrate the 
history of some lives; such as, 1. The exact place of birth, resi- 
dence, and death, identified by specifying the present number of 
the same place and street in a city, or the name of a present resi- 
dent in the same place in the country ; 2. The height and 
weight of persons, to show physical development and personal 
appearance ; 3. The public offices, either in church, town, coun- 
ty or state, held by males, and the years when in office; 4, The 
church in which any male or female was a member; 5. The 
place of interment and exact copies of inscriptions on grave 
stones and monuments; 6. Copies of family records; 7. Copies 
or abstracts of wills, inventories and settlements of estates; 8. 
Copies or references to any printed obituary or biographical 
notice ; 9. The printed books or works of which a person has 
been the author; and 10. Any other facts or anecdotes of inter- 
est and worthy of remembrance to illustrate the history of any 
one of either sex, or to show their general characteristics. 
Though we may not have been always successful, yet we 
proceed to point out the pathway we have taken to procure the 
information, and to present it to others; and we olfer the results 
as suggestions for the benefit of those who may not have reflect- 
ed so much, or may have had less experience than ourselves 
relating to these matters. 
Ill tracing the history of ancestors the first step to be taken is 
to ascertain the whole name of the oldest one about whom the 
date of death and age are known. It may be a parent, a grand- 
parent, or some other more remote ancestor, male or female. PLAN OF THE MEMORIALS EXPLAINED. 
49 
Next, deduct the age of such person from the date of death, and 
the remainder will be the year of birth. From the traditions of 
elderly persons, or in some other way, ascertain, if possible, the 
place of birth,, and other matters relating to this person ; and 
consult the records of the town where born, for the particulars of 
birth, which, if found, may lead to the particulars of marriage 
and of death also, and perhaps to the names of father, mother, 
brothers and sisters. In like manner the investigation may 
be extended to generations of more remote antiquity. If the 
town records be deficient we must resort to other means. By 
perseverance in consulting the various sources of information 
already indicated (pp. 2 and 3,) and by knowing where and how 
to go to work, the desired facts may generally be ascertained. 
A properly arranged systematic plan and a little experience will 
be no disadvantage. Make memoranda of the information and 
of the sources whence procured in a blank book prepared for the 
purpose, specifying the name of the person from whom it was 
derived, or the page of a written or printed book where it is 
contained. This information should be carefully revised, cor- 
rected, and arranged, and afterwards copied into its appropriate 
place in the Memorials. 
General, indefinite terms, should, as far as possible, be avoided 
in such works. In naming places, instead of saying “he went 
west,” or “to New York,” or “to Ohio,” or “to Missouri,” the 
name of the post-office address and of the town, as well as county 
and state where settled or residing, should be given. In these 
Memorials, where no state is named, Massachusetts is generally 
to be understood. When an occupation is mentioned it is unsatis- 
factory to say “'mechanic,” but the specific work of the mechanic 
should be stated. So, too, exact dates, whether relating to births, 
marriages or deaths, or to those who die young, or to others, 
should be carefully given ; and these dates should include the day 
of the month as well as the year. When it is possible to give 
the exact date, the word “about,” as “he was born, or married, 
or died, about 1792,” or “about” any other year; and the words 
“ died young,” or “ died in infancy,” should not be used. The im- 
portance of this exactness in relation to all lives, young and old, 
will appear from what has already been said under the head of 
the Natural History of the Family. We have regretted the 50 
INTRODUCTION. 
necessity which compelled us sometimes to insert these indefinite 
terms in these Memorials. 
Prior to 1752 the year commenced on the 25th of March, and 
March was called the First Month, April the Second, and so on 
to February, the Twelfth. Two methods of dating were used,— 
one in which the number of the month, day and year, were 
given, as “ 15: 11: 1645,” or “15th 11 mo. 1645,” and the other 
in which a double date between January 1st and March 25th 
was made; as “Jan. 1645-6,” or “ 164f.” In these Memorials 
the true or latest date of the year is substituted for the numbers 
and for double dates, as “Jan. 15, 1646”; but the day is given 
according to the old style. To make the old style conform ex- 
actly to the new style, ten days must be added to the dates prior 
to 1700, and eleven days to those from 1700 to 1752. 
Various plans have been devised for Family Genealogies; and 
it is natural that each author should prefer his own. It is ob- 
vious, however, that a plan may seem simple and effective to one 
who devises and uses it, but not equally so to others. Those that 
are most readily comprehended, and most easily carried into prac- 
tice by one unacquainted with such works, should be preferred. 
The plan after which the Minot family is presented in the first 
volume of the New England Historic-Genealogical Register has 
been adopted by several authors. Another plan, presented in the 
Genealogy of the Farmer family, in the same volume, has also 
been copied. More reflection and more experience have, how- 
ever, been bestowed in recent years upon the subject; and it has 
been found that both of these plans are too much encumbered by 
numbers and references; and that they may be simplified and 
improved. The Foot and Nash families are the best arranged 
genealogies that we have seen, though they do not seem entirely 
free from imperfections. No more numbering or references should 
be used than are necessary to exhibit the generations, families and 
individuals, clearly, and to show their relative connection with 
each other. By arranging the families in separate generations, 
with a running title at the head of the page to indicate which 
one is there described, it becomes unnecessary to affix numbers to 
individuals to show the generation to which they belong. 
Ill these Memorials we have numbered the different genera- 
tions, the different families (or the sections or paragraphs in which PLAN OF THE MEMORIALS EXPLAINED. 
51 
they are described,) and the children of the same family, each 
consecutively, and generally either according to seniority, or in 
the chronological order in which they occur. On the right side 
of the page, against the name of each child who became a parent, 
we have affixed the number by which his or her family is desig- 
nated, referring forward to the subsequent section or paragraph 
of the same number, which contains the biographical notices of 
such parent and of the person to whom married, and the names 
of all their children. And in the biographical accounts is insert- 
ed a number referring back to the previous page on which the 
name, parentage, date of birth, and the number of the family on 
the right of the name, are first introduced. If a number does not 
appear on the right of the name, it is to be inferred that no further 
notice is taken of such child or any descendant. To give a full 
and connected biography of a person in one place some little repe- 
tition may become necessary, but such repetition will occupy far 
less space than the figures of reference used by some genealogists. 
This simple plan for the arrangement of the facts, unincumbered 
by unnecessary figures or references, is sufficient to show clearly 
and at one glance the generation to which the person belongs, 
and whether any descendants are given in the book. It will also 
show the relation which the different generation, families, and 
persons sustained to each other; and will enable any one to trace 
a lineage backward or forward easily and readily. The Memo- 
rials by this plan acquire a more simple and readable form.* 
Some authors give the biographical notice of the person where 
the name first appears. This is proper when the individuals do not 
live to adult age, or do not become parents, but in other cases the 
most appropriate place for such notice seems to be where a per- 
son stands at the head of his family as a parent, and immediately 
preceding and in connection with his children. This plan is 
followed in these Memorials. And it will be perceived that a 
separate division, or part of the paragraph, where the facts are 
sufficient to justify it, is generally devoted to each parent, to in- 
clude whatever is desirable to be said, or the means of information 
* In preparing manuscripts of this kind, paged blank books should be used, and instead of 
the number referring to the subsequent paragraph a number referring to the subsequent page of 
the manuscript may be inserted on the right of the name. This will render it convenient to 
make additions to Memorials imperfectly prepared, without rearranging and copying them until 
the whole are finished. 52 
will allow, in relation to such person; the direct descendant, 
whether male or female, occupies the first part of the paragraph, 
and the person whom such person marries, occupies the second. 
Each husband and each wife, if either marry more than once, is 
separately noticed. These are believed to be features in such 
Memorials somewhat new and improved, and they are more per- 
spicuous than the usual mode of presenting the facts. The 
names of the parents are printed in capitals and the names of their 
children in italics. Grandchildren, when they are mentioned in 
the same family or paragraph, are printed in the usual type. 
We have been more particular than genealogists usually are in 
stating the birth, residence, and parentage of persons of other 
names who marry into the family, that those who desire it may 
be aided in tracing the ancestors of those new relatives; and also 
for the purpose of illustrating more fully the natural history of 
the family. The biographical notices should contain copies of 
wills, inventories of estates, and other documentary illustrations, 
which are usually separated and thrown into an Appendix. 
They may be printed in smaller type, but if worthy of publica- 
tion at all, the proper place for them to appear is in immediate 
connection with the biographies to which they relate. It is to be 
regretted that materials for illustrating the lives and characters of 
so few of our ancestors are preserved. And it should be remem- 
bered that the length of a biographical notice is not always an 
indication of the importance or value of the life, but that it is 
often owing to accidental circumstances that less or more mate- 
rials concerning it happened to be found. 
INTRODUCTION. 
Ill the early periods of the history of New England, a person 
who held official station, either military, civil or ecclesiastical, 
was generally designated by the title which it conferred. If a 
deacon, a captain, an ensign, or even a corporal, we find him 
frequently so entitled in the records. Entries such as “Corporal 
Lakin” or “Sergeant” some-other-person, was chosen selectman, 
or was appointed for the performance of some other duty, are 
often met with in the public records. Such titles were then 
considered as important and honorable, and generally as an evi- 
dence of real merit; and they were often held for many succes- 
sive years. The office of constable was conferred only upon per- 
sons of an established reputation for high moral integrity and of PLAN OF THE MEMORIALS EXPLAINED. 
53 
sterling ability. In more recent and existing generations, how- 
ever, military and other titles have become so common that their 
comparative honor has been considerably diminished. Offices 
now-a-days are unfortunately too often conferred not as a reward 
of merit but for other causes. In some cases in these Memorials 
the title possessed by a person is mentioned as a part of his biog- 
raphy, but in very many others it is omitted. If we were to 
enumerate all who have held military commissions, the number 
would be sufficient to officer quite a formidable army. 
* The information contained in this work was obtained princi- 
pally in 1853 ; and it was designed to be brought down to that 
year. In many cases, however, it does not include so late a 
period, because the necessary facts were not communicated to the 
author. Some genealogists regard the history of existing or 
recent generations of little consequence. Any one, they say, 
who desires may obtain it. We consider this an erroneous opin- 
ion. Whoever writes for posterity ought to endeavor to antici- 
pate the judgment of posterity upon his labors, and to conform to 
its just decisions. Those who come after us, as already inti- 
mated (p. 3) will find less information upon the public records in 
New England relating to the last fifty years, and will find it 
more difficult to write the history of the lives that existed during 
that period, than in any other since the first settlement of the 
country. For this and other reasons it will in future be a matter 
of deep regret, that information concerning recent or existing lives 
has been omitted in Genealogical Memorials. 
In cases where females of the name have married persons of 
other names we have designed to give their families only, their 
children and sometimes their grandchildren, but rarely their more 
remote posterity, unless for the. purpose of naming some distin- 
guished descendant. It is supposed that this will be sufficient to 
enable persons of other names, who desire it, to trace their ma- 
ternal descent to this family; and to identify the precise connec- 
tion which existed. 
Additional advantage may be derived from subdividing the 
generations, and designating the different branches of the family, 
and their connections and descendants, by the name of the par- 
ticular place in which they originated or most generally resided. 
To aid in rendering this work more perspicuous some parts of it 
are so divided. 54 
INTRODUCTION. 
The orthography of some Christian names varies in different 
periods and in different families in the same period. In some 
few cases in these Memorials the spelling used in a particular 
family, even if it was peculiar, has been followed. But gen- 
erally the usual orthography in common use has been adopted. 
First names, particularly those of females, for the first hundred 
years after the settlement of New England, were generally used 
as they are at present. Anna and Hannah occasionally were sy- 
nonymous. The term cousin generally expressed the same rela- 
tionship as nephew or niece, but sometimes an indefinite degree 
of kindred. From 1750 to 1800, sometimes a little earlier or 
later, instead of giving the true names, others considered as sy- 
nonymous were substituted. Nabby was used for Abigail; Patty 
for Martha; Polly and Molly for Mary; Sally for Sarah; Betsey 
and Betty for Elizabeth; Nancy for Anna, &c. Fashion seems 
to have had its influence in this as in other matters; and the 
early use of names has been very properly restored. Double 
names were seldom used before 1800. In Genealogical Memo- 
rials these names should not be abridged by initials, but all the 
names should be given in full. 
It has seemed proper to notice some families of the name who 
were not descended from our first American progenitor, and 
some by other names who were immediately connected with 
ours; and as these notices could not with propriety be included 
in the Memorials, they are placed with other matters in an 
Appendix. 
Two Indices are inserted at the end of the work. One con- 
tains most of the different first names given to the Shattucks in 
these Memorials; the other includes the whole names of other 
persons who have been connected with the family by marriage, 
or who for other reasons are inserted. By referring to these 
Indices any one can easily ascertain any name which is con- 
tained in the work. 
The abbreviations chiefly used are—b. for bom; bap. for bap- 
tized ; m. for married; unm. for unmarried; d. for died ; a. or m. 
for age or aged; s. for son ; dau. for daughter; p. for page. In 
dates and ages, y. stands for years; m. for months; and d. for 
days. In cases in which a parent marries more than once, the 
different marriages are designated by figures placed immediately PLAN OF THE MEMORIALS EXPLAINED. 
55 
after m., the abbreviation of married; as “ m. 1” means married 
first, or for a first wife, or a first husband; “m. 2,” married sec- 
ond, or for a second wife or a second husband ; “ m. 3,” married 
third, and so on. Cases sometimes occur in which the maiden 
surname of the wife before marriage is inserted in a parenthesis 
between the Christian name and the surname she acquires by 
marriage; as, Susanna (Randall) Shattuck, shows her maiden 
surname to have been Randall. In some instances (C) stands 
for Congregational Church; (B) for Baptist; (M) for Methodist; 
(U) for Universalist, &c. Persons are occasionally noticed as 
members of churches, but many who sustained that relationship 
are not thus characterized for want of the requisite information. 
The names of towns which are often repeated are sometimes 
abbreviated; as, Wat. for Watertown; Gro. for Groton ; Pep. for 
Peppered. Other abbreviations occasionally occur. 
The form of the volume is octavo, and it is quite desirable 
that all Genealogies, whatever may be the amount of matter 
they may contain, should be printed in the same form, that those 
who make collections of such works may have them in uniform 
size. It is also the most convenient and economical size in 
which to print the materials of such a work. 
Blank pages are placed at the end of the volume for the in- 
sertion of corrections and additions, and for the continuation of 
Family Histories. MEMORIALS. 
i. Jfird §mxdm anti Cjrilbm. 
1- f WILLIAM SHATTUCK was the most remote ancestor 
with whom we have been enabled to connect ourselves, in our 
history, upon satisfactory evidence; and we begin with his, in 
our classification, as the first, or earliest known generation. From 
him, as their common progenitor, have descended nearly all, if 
not every one, of those who now bear his name in America. He 
was born in England in 1621 or 2, and died in Watertown, Mas- 
sachusetts, August 14. 167%. aged 50 years. His exact origin 
and early history are involved in obscurity. Neither the place of 
his birth, nor the year in which he came to this country, nor the 
names of his parents, are certainly known. There is no doubt, 
however, that his immediate ancestors and connections were resi- 
dents of England; and they were probably among those already 
mentioned in our introductory observations, either of Lancaster- 
shire, Somersetshire, or Berkshire, but we are unable to specify 
the particular persons or locality. He must have emigrated 
when in or near his minority. It has been conjectured that his 
father might have died on his passage or soon after his arrival; 
and also that he might have been the son of widow Damaris 
Shattuck, who was admitted to the church in Salem, in 1641, and 
a brother of Samuel Shattuck, noticed in the Appendix to these 
Memorials; and their ages, the prevalence of similar names in 
their respective families, and other circumstances, give some 
probability to these conjectures. But. of such a connection, if in- 
deed one existed, we have as yet obtained no conclusive proof. 
If not a brother he was probably a near relative of Samuel 
Shattuck. 58 
FIRST GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
Massachusetts was first colonized by the English Puritan emi- 
grants, in Boston and its vicinity, in 1630. Watertown was set- 
tled in the same year,—ten years later than the founding of Plym- 
outh. This town is in Middlesex County, from four to seven 
miles westerly of Boston, and has Cambridge, easterly, interven- 
ing between the two places. It originally included the present 
town of Waltham, incorporated separately in 1737. It is thus 
one of the most ancient, and it was early one of the most impor- 
tant, towns in the Province. The General Court and the Pro- 
vincial Congress held several sessions in this town. Mr. Shat- 
tuck’s name appears in an old list of the proprietors of Watertown, 
made about 1642, twelve years after its first settlement, although 
he was then only twenty years of age. The first lot of land 
granted to him is described upon the records as follows:— 
“ 1. An Homstall of one acre, by estimation, bounded souwest with Common- 
land, ye east wlh John Clough and ye west w‘h William Perry in his possession. 
“2. Three acres of upland, by estimation, bounded the north wth Joseph 
Morse, the south wth William Perry, the east wth John Clough & ye west 
wth Commonland in his possession.” “ * 
“ William Chattuck. 
To this estate he made large additions by subsequent grants 
and purchases. Among other parcels of land the records state 
that on the 4th July, 1654, he bought of his neighbor John 
Clough, his house, garden, and thirty acres of land, situated on 
Common Hill, near his own estate, bounded east by William 
Payne and E. Goffe, west by the highway, north by Joseph 
Morse and “south by the highway to the pond;” probably ly- 
ing in the corner easterly and northerly of the intersection of 
the two roads, now called Common street and Washington street. 
Also twenty-five acres of upland; three acres of swamp land; 
and one third part of twelve acres of meadow land. He also 
bought a farm at Stony Brook, near the present bounds of Wes- 
ton, and four acres of meadow in Pond Meadow, which he be- 
queathed at his death, in equal shares, to his sons, Philip and 
William. He also bought a dwelling-house and a large farm of 
Edward Sanderson; but a question having arisen as to his title 
to some parts of it, the town voted, December 27, 1664, that 
“ William Shattuck shall enjoy the land he bought of Sanders. WILLIAM SHATTUCK. 
59 
provided he pay to Sanders twenty bushels of good merchantable 
Indian corn to spend in his house.” 
We have found it difficult to ascertain the exact place where 
Mr. Shattuck resided. It was, however, undoubtedly on Com- 
mon Hill, near “ King’s Common” so called—the Common land 
reserved and owned by the town. This locality was northerly 
of the celebrated residence of J. P. Cushing, Esq.; southerly of 
the Wellington Hill Station on the Fitchburg Railroad; and 
easterly of Common street, leading from that station southerly to 
Watertown village. Permission was frequently given by the 
town to make bricks “at the clay pitts near William Shattucks.” 
This bed of clay was then considered a rarity; and it was re- 
served by the town as a public place for brick making. It was 
on the hill northerly and near Washington street, then an ancient 
highway leading from Common street to Fresh Pond, and in the 
vicinity westerly of the residences of Mr. Chenery and Mr. Stone, 
as laid down on Shield’s Map of Boston and Yicimty, published 
in 1852. And Mr. Shattuck’s dwelling-house was on the hill, 
somewhere on the north side of this highway. The Watertown 
records, in describing a piece of common land sold by the town, 
in 1743, to Ebenezer Chenery, “ lying above the clay pitts,” say 
the bounds run “on a line to a rock at said Chenery’s fence, 
above or west of a spring (commonly called Shattuck’s Spring.)” 
The residences on this hill command a fine view of Fresh Pond, near 
by, and of Boston and its vicinity in the distance; and are among 
the most delightful in Watertown. Successors bearing the name 
of Shattuck occupied the estate for about one hundred years, but 
for the last hundred years it has been in the possession of others. 
Mr. Shattuck is sometimes denominated a weaver; an humble but 
honorable handicraft of considerable importance in his day, when 
all articles of clothing were the product of household manufacture. 
And it is not improbable that he combined his mechanical with 
other occupations, and wrought in his loom as well as on his 
farm; for at his death he actually bequeathed his “loom and its 
appurtenances” to his son William. Agriculture seems, how- 
ever, to have been his principal employment, as it has been that 
of the larger part of his posterity. His example of uniting the 
labors of the farmer and mechanic in one person has been fol- 
lowed by many of his descendants. He resided in Watertown 60 
FIRST GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
about thirty years; and by his sagacity, industry and economy, 
though dying in the full vigor of manhood, he acquired, for the 
times in which he lived, a large property, the inventory of which 
amounted at his death to £434 19s. 11 \d. sterling, of which 
£200 was in real estate, and £234 19s. 11 \d. in personal estate, 
including £103 17s. 7%d. in money. He appears, so far as can 
be ascertained from contemporary records, to have sustained the 
character of a sagacious, energetic, and successful business man ; 
of an honest, upright, and worthy citizen; and of a good and 
peaceable neighbor. He held a respectable social position among 
his fellow townsmen; and his family and the families to whom 
they were allied by marriage were highly respected, and among 
the most wealthy and influential in Watertown. 
He was interred in the ancient burying-ground situated on the 
old road leading from Cambridge to Watertown, a short distance 
westerly of Mount Auburn. A simple but substantial marble 
tablet, resting in a granite base, has recently been erected near 
the northwesterly corner of this ground, at the turn of the road 
to Brighton, bearing the following inscription:— 
“To perpetuate the memory of

was erected in 1853, by 
Lemuel Shattuck, 
who holds in grateful veneration 
the character of 
the Puritan Fathers of 
New England.” 
William Shattuck was married about 1642t when he was 
twenty years of age. The Christian name of. his wife was Sy~ 
SANNA; but neither her surname, nor her parentage, nor the 
exact date or place of her birth or marriage, has been ascertained. WILLIAM SHATTUCK. 
61 
She remained a widow about fifteen months after his death, and 
married, Nov. 18, 1673, Mr. Richard Norcross, who survived her. 
She died in Watertown, Dec. 11, 168fy fourteen years after the 
death of her first husband.* 
In his will Mr. Shattuck mentions “his ten younger children,” 
as if he had others, but it does not appear that he had more than 
that number. The births of the second, third and tenth only are 
entered upon the Watertown records. The remainder are ascer- 
tained from other authentic evidence.

A petition, dated June 19, 1683, purporting to be from Philip 
Shattuck, is on the court files of Middlesex County, in which it 
is said,—“ Our two youngest brothers, Benjamin and Samuel, 
were left to the care and government of our honored mother, 
unto whom our honored father did bequeath the most considera- 
ble part of his estate ; but after our mother did marry againe, she 
thought it would be beneficial for our youngest brothers to have 
trades; and she accordingly put them out,—Benjamin to my 
brother William, and Samuel to myself. But before Benjamin 
came of age, God was pleased to visit him with a long and linger- 
ing sickness, of which he died, being in his 20th year; and by 
reason of the long time of his sickness, the charges of the doctor, 
his attendance, and the funeral charges, were considerable.” 
And he prays that they may be paid out of the estate that was 
bequeathed to him, which was probably done. 
* Richard Norcross was the son of Jeremiah Norcross, who d. in Watertown, in 1657. He 
was b. in 1621, and educated in England; was admitted a freeman,in 1653, and was the worthy 
teacher of the grammar school in Watertown about thirty-five years, from 1651 to 1687. His is 
said to have been the first and for many years the only public school in the town. His salary 
for teaching Latin, English, writing, and other branches, was £30 per annum. He married for 
his first wife, June 24, 1650, Mary Brooks, who d. Feb. 24, 1672. By her he had seven children, 
Mary, Jeremiah, Sarah, Richard, Mary, Nathaniel, and Samuel, of whom Nathaniel m. Susanna 
Shattuck, dau. of Philip Shattuck, and granddau. of Susanna (Shattuck) Norcross. (See

The will of Wm. Shattuck, executed while he was on a sick 
bed, is dated August 3d, eleven days before his death, and was 
proved in court August 29th, fifteen days afterwards. This will 
and the inventory of his estate were deposited in the office of the 
Middlesex Probate Court, and still exist in its files. Copies were 
entered upon its records, (Yol. IV., pp. 24 and 26.) These doc- 
uments will undoubtedly interest the family, and faithful copies 
of the original are given below.

From the following document it seems that the appraisers of 
his estate did not understand orthography quite as well, or were 
not quite as careful in the use of it, as the writers of his will and 
other documents relating to the settlement of his estate. We 
prefer, however, to give it as written, with the exception of punc- 
tuation, which has been added. No description of ours could 
give a better idea of the domestic arrangements, the household 
economy, and the interior life, of our ancestor, than is afforded 
by a careful examination of this inventory. It will aid us in 
paying an imaginary visit to his “parler,” his “ceichen,” his 
“ shope,” his “ dairy,” and his farm generally, to ascertain their 
extent and the various implements in use in his daily life.

Some questions rose as to the proper interpretation of the will 
of Mr. Shattuck, after the marriage of his widow; and the fol- WILLIAM SHATTUCK. 
65 
lowing bond or order, dated April 8, 1674, was passed by the 
court at Cambridge, and entered upon its records. This docu- 
ment is given in connection with another, relating to the final 
settlement of the dowry, to illustrate the manner in which these 
matters were managed at that early day. It does not appear to 
be the result of a law suit that had been commenced, but a 
mutual agreement to avoid any occasion of one. 
“ For the finishing of all controversy that has or may arise concerning the 
estate that William Shattuck’s widow brought with her to her present husband, 
Richard Norcross, this court, with the mutual consent of all concerned therein, 
doe order that the said Richard Norcross shall have the use of the whole part of 
the estate that was left to her during the time of the younger children’s minority, 
to wit, two boys twenty-one years, and the girl eighteen, or else at marriage, 
which of either shall first happen. And in case that he decease before his wife, 
that she shall have ye same fully made good to her again besides what he shall 
have out of his owne good will or the law will give unto him. And in case she 
decease before him, that then, unless by will she shall bequeath any part thereof 
to him, the said Richard Norcross, he shall then pay, or cause to be paid, forty- 
five pound, which is the sum ye inventory of her goods came to his hand, and the 
same he shall pay in full value to the children of his new wife, which shall then 
be living, as his said wife shall appoint, by her last will or otherwise. To the 
performance whereof the said Richard Norcross acknowledges himself, exectu- 
tors, administrators, to stand fully bound in a bond of ninety pound sterling, to be 
paid to the treasury of the county. 
“ And the court do further order that ye aforesaid Richard Norcross, perform- 
ing according to the above said request, all other obligations by him made, in 
reference to person or estate, shall be null and void, to all intents and purposes 
in the law; and the said Richard is to bring up the three young children as his 
own untill they come to age to chose guardians or be put to apprentices. 
Sworn to in Court. Richard Norcross.” 
“This writing, bearing date this 29th March, 1687,testifieth, that we, Philip 
Shattuck, William Shattuck, Samuel Shattuck, Jonathan Brown, John Fay, and 
Abigail Morse, all children, natural or by marriage, of Mrs Norcross, late widow 
and relict of William Shattuck, deceased, do owne and acknowledge ourselves 
to be fully satisfied with what we have now received of our father-in-law, Mr. 
Richard Norcross, being the full of what he was to pay to us of what he received 
of our father Shattuck’s estate, and agreed by bond, given into County Court, at 
Cambridge, the eighth of April, in the year of our Lord 1674.. We say we have 
each and every of us received our proportion in full, according unto that bond. 
As witness our hands, the day and year above written.

It will be perceived that neither the heirs of John Shattuck, 
nor Rebecca (Shattuck) Church, were represented in this last 
agreement. It is probable that the latter were dead at the date 
of its execution, but the former were then living in Groton. 
Why they were omitted does not appear. Perhaps their portion 
of the estate bequeathed to their father, might have been paid to 
their mother, at another time, either before or after their removal 
to Groton.

standing in the Waltham bnrying-ground, bearing the following 
inscription:—“ Here lyes buried ye Body of Mrs Mary Browne,

* Mr Fay, after his marriage to widow Susanna (Shattuck) Morse, look her children by her 
first husband with him to Marlborough, and this was the cause of the Morses becoming perma- 
nent settlers in that town. On the 25th of Dec. 1695, Samuel “ Biglo,” John Bemis, Joseph 
Morse, and Samuel Morse, then described as husbandmen of Watertown, bought of Ephraim 
Hunt, Esq , of Weymouth, for £300, a tract of land in Marlborough, containing 850 acres, formerly 
granted to Dr. John Alcock, of Roxbury, and called “ The Farms.” Joanna, the wife of Ephraim 
Hunt, was the daughter of Alcock, and consented to the sale. (Mid. Rec.. Vol XIII, p. 509.) 
“ Joseph Morse settled in the house said to have been built by Alcock. Samuel built southerly, 
and their brother Jonathan afterwards bought and settled on a tract of land adjoining to the 
farm, and built a short distance west of Samuel, so that one garrison might protect the three 
families.” In 1723, John Bigelow, a son of Samuel, sold a portion of the land, inherited from his 
father, to John Shattuck, a grandnephew of Susanna, (see Family 38,) in exchange for his farm 
in Shrewsbury, and removed to that town. The posterity of the Morses may be found in the 
“ Memorial of the Morses,” pp. 74 to 89, and in the articles in the Appendix, therein referred to. 
Stephen Morse, Esq., now occupying the old ancestral residence, was descended from Susanna 
Shattuck, through Joseph, Joseph, Abner and Stephen. The numerous posterity by the name 
of Fay, in Worcester County and elsewhere, were also descended principally from Susanna 
Shattuck, through her sons, David and Gershom. 
t If the record of her birth is correctly recorded, as it probably is, there appears to be an error 
here in the statement of her age. It should be 87 y. 1 m. 28 d.; not “ 89th year.” 68

4. John Shattuck, s. of William, (p. 61,) was b. in Watertown, 
Feb. 11, 1647; and, according to the records of that town, “was 
drowned as he was passing over Charlestown Ferry, the 14th 
Sept. 1675,” se. 28 y. 7 m. 3 d. He had lands granted to him in 
Groton in 1664, but it does not appear that he was an inhabitant 
of that town for any great length of time, if at all. He was a 
carpenter, and resided principally in the Middle District—the 
present village of Watertown ; where he was employed by the 
town, in 1669 and subsequently, to keep the town mill, then 
situated near the present bridge leading to Newton Corner. 
The year 1675 is well known in history as the commencement 
-of the most disastrous war with the Indians that ever occurred in 
New England. It has been entitled “Philip’s” war, from the 
name given to the notorious Metacom, the principal leader of the

family, and the names of many of the descendants of Mary Shattuck down to the generation 
now existing'. JOHN SHATTUCK.

different tribes. It was undoubtedly the intention of King Philip 
to destroy all the white inhabitants; and at one time fears were 
entertained that he would carry his designs into execution. 
Many of the frontier towns were burned and deserted by the 
new settlers. Among other places early attacked were the re- 
mote settlements on Connecticut River. As a means of protec- 
tion a military company was organized under Capt. Richard 
Beers, a distinguished citizen of Watertown, of which young 
John Shattuck was appointed sergeant,* and proceeded to Had- 
ley. Hearing that Squawkeague, now Northfield, had been at- 
tacked, they marched, on the 4th of September, 1675, to its 
relief; and while on their route a large force of Indians who lay 
concealed, suddenly rose and fell upon them with overpowering 
fury. Of thirty-six men of whom the company was composed, 
sixteen only escaped death. Capt. Beers was killed. Sergeant 
Shattuck, one of the sixteen whose lives were preserved, was 
immediately despatched as a messenger to the Governor of the 
Colony to announce the result of the expedition. On the 14th 
of September, ten days after the battle, as he was crossing the 
ferry between Charlestown and Boston, he was drowned. Goo- 
kin, (Trans. Am. Antiquarian Society, Yol. II., p. 466,) describes 
this event as follows:— 
“ About this time a person named Shattuck, of Watertown, that was a sergeant 
under Capt. Beers, when the said Beers was slain near Squakeage, had escaped 
very narrowly but a few days before; and being newly returned home, this man 
being at Charlestown, in Mr. Long’s porch, at the sign of the Three Cranes, 
divers persons of quality being present, particularly Capt. Lawrence Hammond, 
the Captain of the town, and others, this Shattuck was heard to say to this effect: 
‘ I hear the Marlborough Indians, in Boston in prison, and upon trial for their 
lives, are likely to be cleared by the court; for my part,’ said he, ‘ I have been 
lately abroad in the country’s service, and have ventured my life for them, and 
escaped very narrowly ; but if they clear these Indians, they shall hang me up by 
the neck before I ever serve them again.’ Within a quarter of an hour after 
these words were spoken, this man was passing the ferry between Charlestown 
and Boston ; the ferry boat being loaded with horses and the wind high, the boat 
sunk; and though there were several other men in the boat and several horses, 
yet all escaped with life, but’ this man only. I might mention several other 
things of remark here that happened to other persons, that were filled with dis- 
pleasure and animosity against the poor Christian Indians, but shall forbear, lest 
any be offended.” 
* In the books of the Treasurer of the Colony, now in the possession of the Genealogical 
Society, are several entries of payments for the services of John Shattuck as sergeant in this 
expedition. 70 
It is proper to remark, in explanation of this narrative, that a 
painful suspicion was entertained at the time that some of the half 
christianized Indians in the settlements were privy to and partners 
in the conspiracy of Philip. Gookin did not share this suspicion, 
and he therefore opposed the war and those engaged in it. He had 
acted as counsel for the Indians then on trial; and he considered 
it criminal in any one to speak against them, notwithstanding 
some of them were convicted and were afterwards executed for 
murder. Whether Mr. Shattuck made the remarks, in “effect,5’ 
as here given, or whether they were a mere hearsay report, is 
uncertain; but Gookin seems to have considered his accidental 
drowning a special Providence, executed upon him as a punish- 
ment for his honest but fearless expression of opinions on subjects 
which he had just discussed with “divers persons of quality”! 
This judgment, however, if indeed it was one, did not occur 
alone ; others happened to other persons for similar acts. Mr. 
Shattuck, as an honest, independent young man, having opinions 
of his own, and not afraid to express them on a proper occasion, 
would not be very likely to speak in the most mild and friendly 
terms of an enemy that had, only ten days before, betrayed and 
killed twenty out of thirty-six of his companions in arms; and 
he is to be commended for his conduct, and for this exhibition of 
a characteristic trait of the family.

Watertown, and d. within the present limits of Waltham, June 
26, 1722, se. 73. His place of residence was in the vicinity of 
the Waverley Station on the Fitchburg Railroad, easterly of 
Beaver Brook ; and his estate extended northerly into Cambridge. 
He was a physician of eminence, and for a long period a leading 
man in the public affairs of the town. He was often chosen 
moderator of town meetings, and held the offices of assessor, town 
treasurer, chairman of the selectmen, and very many other im- 
portant stations of public trust and responsibility. The grave- 
stone erected to his memory was standing in the Waltham 
burying-ground, in 1852, bearing the following inscription:—

PHILIP SHATTUCK, 
who deced June 
ye 2Gth, 1722, in ye 74th 
year of his Age.

A new marble tablet has recently been erected, to which the 
above inscription was transferred, with the following appended: 
“ The above record was transferred from a moss-grown crumbling 
head-stone of slate, to one of more enduring marble, by a descend- 
ant of the 5th Generation, A. D. 1853.” 
His will, dated Jan. 29th, and proved Aug. 30th, 1722, is re- 
corded in the Middlesex Records, Yol. XVI., p. 436. He had 
two sons by the name of Philip living at the same time, one by 
each wife; and they were distinguished from each other in his 
will, as “ Philip Shattuck of Saybrook,” and “ Philip Shattuck, 
the younger,” or as “ the youngest son of my present beloved 
wife.” Accounts of two living children of the same name in 
one family sometimes occur in the early history of this country 
and in England, but this is the only instance that we have 
discovered in our family. In his will Mr. Shattuck appoints his 
son Isaac Shattuck his executor; and bequeaths him “all my 
wearing apparell,” and £20 in money; to son “ Philip Shattuck, 
of Saybrook,” 5s.; to son Joseph Shattuck, the “ New London 
Dispensatory, the English Physician, and another book entitled 
Dr. Williams;” to son Benjamin Shattuck, son-in-law John 
Underwood, daughter Parkhurst, “each of my daughter Nor- 
cross’s children,” daughter Ann Sanderson, son Joseph Shattuck, 
each 5s., “to be paid in eight years after my decease;” to grand- 
daughter Rebecca Underwood, one cow; to sons Amos and 
“Philip Shattuck, the younger,” all his books and “instruments 
of husbandry,” and other estate not otherwise disposed of; and 
they were to pay all his debts and deliver to their mother “ an- 
nually, during the whole time of her remaining my widow, 
sixteen bushels of good Indian corn, and four bushels of malt, 
and one hundred weight of pork, and five barrells of cider, if the 
orchard produce fruit sufficient for it, and five cords of wood 
suitable and fit for the fire, at her door; and a suitable beast to 73 
carry her to the public worshipand she was to have the “ use 
of the east end of his mansion house, from top to j^ottom.”

father, d. in Dedham, Jan. 1, 1668, leaving a widow and 8 chil- 
dren. On the 29th March, 1671, Michael Barstow, a brother of 
Wm., deeds to Philip Shattuck six acres of land in Watertown, 
“for the love and affection I have and do bear unto my loving 
kinswoman Deborah, the wife of Philip Shattuck.” 
He m. 2, Feb. 11, 1680, Rebecca Chamberlain, who survived 
him, and d. in 1728. She also left a will, dated Dec. 13, 1727, 
proved Nov. 19, 1728, (Mid. Rec., Yol. XYIII., p. 522,) in 
which Amos and Philip were appointed her executors. She be- 
queathed to her sons Benjamin and Joseph, 20s. each : to Isaac, 
one feather bed ; to Sarah Parkhurst, “ half my wearing apparell,

on his estate, July 29, 1754 ; and he probably d. in Waltham that year. 74 
SECOND GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
William Shattuck, s. of William, fp. 61,) was b. in Water- 
town in 1 He lived in the easterly parish upon the old 
homestead on Common Hill, “on the highway to the pond,” 
where he died Or.t. 19f 1732,. aged He inherited from his 
father his “ loom and its appurtenances,” and like him was called 
a weaver; but he followed farming, brickmaking, and other em- 
ployments. In an entry on the Watertown records, Feb. 10, 
1685, it is said—“ Willyam Shattuck had liberty to dig clay this 
summer to make bricks at the clay pits near his house, provided 
that he damify not the highway, and that he pay to the town 
youse four pens per thousand for all the bricks that he selleth 
out of town; he having promised to give true account of what 
he selleth.” Subsequently this contract was several times re- 
newed. 
Ill Watertown, as in many other places in former years, the 
selection of a site for the meeting-house occasioned a long and 
exciting controversy. It was finally referred for settlement to a 
committee of the General Court, and in 1694, “Mr. William 
Shattuck” was chosen with four others to lay the subject before 
this committee. In a pauper case in litigation in 1695, a com- 
mittee was instructed by a vote of the town to procure “ Mr. 
William Shattuck to assist them if possible in the town’s behalf.” 
He was often chosen “a commissioner” to take the invoice or 
valuation ; and in 1694 was one of a committee “ to go down to 
Boston & pleade the town’s case, the town being overrated in 
the county rates ; and they are desired to prosecute the case to 
the utmost in the towns behalf.” These and many other similar 
evidences of the respect and confidence reposed in him by the 
inhabitants, and of his high social position and influence, are to 
be found upon the records. He held at different times the most 
important public town offices, and was one of the most eminent, 
wealthy, and useful citizens. In a general subscription raised for 
repairs on the meeting-house in 1694, he gave 10 shillings, the 
highest but one on the list of forty persons. In 1712 another 
subscription was raised by the “ piously disposed persons, inhab- 
itants of Watertown,” to purchase a parsonage “for the accom- 
modation of Rev. Mr. Gibbs, who is their present minister, and 
such as shall succeed him in the work of the ministry and 75 
William Bond, William Shattuck and Nathaniel Bright were 
chosen by the subscribers the trustees for the management of the 
fund. (Middlesex Deeds, Yol. XY., p. 599.) As late as 1723 
Mr. Shattuck was chosen by the town, with Col. Jonas Bond and 
Noble Bright, a committee to obtain from the Province 3.500 
acres of land granted to Watertown and Weston, and not then 
taken up. His grave-stone, still standing, in a good state of 
preservation, near the northwesterly corner of the ancient bury- 
ing-ground, by the side of the new tablet recently erected, has 
the following inscription :— 
WILLIAM SHATTUCK. 
“ Here lyes Buried 
ye Body of Mr. 
WILLIAM SHATTUCK 
who Departed this 
Life October ye 19th 
Anno Doni". 1732 in ye 
80th year of his age.” 
His will, dated Jan. 11, 1727, and proved Dec. 4, 1732, is en- 
tered upon the Middlesex Records, Yol. XIX., pp. 446, 447, and 
448. It provides for the distribution of his estate as follows:— 
He bequeathed “ to my beloved son Benjamin Shattuck and his 
heirs,” £80; “to my three grandchildren, the children of my 
beloved son Robert Shattuck, deceased, the sum of £40, to be 
divided amongst them, as followeth, viz., to Robert, £20, to 
Randall, £10, and to Mary, £10; the said respective legacies to 
be paid to the sons, at their arrival at twenty-one years of age, 
and to the daughter, at her arrival at eighteen years of age or 
day of marriage u to my beloved daughter Elizabeth Holland 
and her heirs, £40 to “ my beloved daughter Joanna Holden, 
£30;” to “my beloved daughter Abigail Holden, £40;” to 
“ my grandchildren, the children of my beloved daughter Susanna 
Holden, deceased, £30, to be equally divided between them;” 
to “my beloved daughter Mary Greenleaf, but 5s., I having 
already taken care for her portion out of my estate.” The resi- 
due of his estate was divided into five shares, two of which were 
bequeathed to Benjamin, one to Elizabeth Holland, one to Joanna 
Holden, and one to Abigail Holden. Mr. Shattuck had loaned 
money to William Greenleaf, his son-in-law, for which he held 
his bond, dated Sept. 17, 1724; and a long clause is inserted in 
his will, providing for the payment of some of his specific lega- 76 
cies from the proceeds of this bond. Andrew Bordman and 
Joseph Mason were executors.

ORIGIN OF THE ELDER PEPPERELL BRANCHES. 
10. John Shattuck, son of John, (p. 71,) was b. in Water- 
town, June 4, 1666, and was killed by the Indians, in Groton, 
May 8, 1709, se. 42 y. 11 m. 4 d. He was a farmer, and occupied 
the homestead, which had before belonged to his father-in-law, 78 
THIRD GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
James Blood, and which, after his death, was set off to the widow, 
as her portion of the real estate, and by her sold to Mr. Shattuck. 
It was situated on the “ Nod Road,” so called, which runs north- 
easterly from the Stony-Ford-Way at Hollingsworth’s paper-mills. 
The Shattucks and Bloods owned large tracts of land on both 
sides of Nashua River, in the vicinity of these mills. At the time 
of Mr. Shattuck’s death he was one of the selectmen of Groton— 
an evidence of the respectability of his social standing. 
Few persons, now-a-days, can have an accurate conception of 
the toil, suffering, and danger endured by the early settlers of 
our frontier New England towns. The workmen as they went 
forth to their labors were not sure of returning again in safety to 
their homes, or, if they did, that they should find the loved ones 
they left there alive. The tomahawk, scalping-knife, and other 
deadly weapons, were in the hands of foes whose approach was 
often invisible, and when they were least expected. Groton, a 
town in Middlesex County, about forty miles northwesterly from 
Boston—which has ever been the residence of some of our family 
or their connections—was particularly unfortunate in this respect. 
It was first settled in 1660, but on the 13th March, 1676, was 
burnt by the Indians; and such of its inhabitants as escaped 
death or captivity were compelled to abandon their estates, and 
seek protection in Concord, Watertown, and other older and more 
secure towns nearer Boston. In 1678, after the cessation of hos- 
tilities, Groton was resettled, and the Indian neighbors remained 
peaceable for several years. But about 1690 they again began to 
be troublesome, and for the subsequent fifteen or twenty years 
continued their depredations, by occasionally murdering the in- 
habitants, burning their houses, destroying their crops, or killing 
their cattle. In 1691, as a means of protection and safety, eight 
houses, in different parts of the town, were fortified and estab- 
lished as garrisons.* Into these houses the neighboring inhab- 
itants gathered at night; and they were guarded by armed men 
as soldiers, ever wakeful as sentinels to warn the inmates of any 
approach of danger. One of these houses, situated in what is 
now the fifth School District, (the precise locality is not known) 
was occupied by Mr. Shattuck and his relatives and neighbors; 
* The author of this work communicated to Caleb Butler, Esq an account of these garrisons 
and a considerable amount of other information, published in his History of Groton. JOHN SHATTUCK.

and they seem to have experienced with most crushing force 
the calamities of the times. 
Oct. 13, 1692, James Blood, father-in-law of Mr. Shattuck, 
was the first victim. “ He was killed,” says the record, “ by the 
French and Indian enemy.” 
July 27, 1694, William Longley,—an uncle of Mrs. Shattuck,— 
his wife and several of his children, were killed, and three others 
of the family were carried into captivity. At the same time 
James Parker, Jr., a distant relative, and his wife and children, 
were killed or captured. 
Enoch Lawrence, the step-father of Mr. Shattuck, in an en- 
gagement with the Indians, was wounded in the hand, and dis- 
abled for life. In consequence of which, in 1702, a pension of 
£3 per annum was granted him by the Province. 
About 1706, three of the children of Thomas Tarbell—John, 
Zachariah, and Sarah, cousins of Mrs. Shattuck,—were stolen and 
carried to Canada, where they lived, it is said, the remainder of 
their lives. Their father, in his will, executed in 1715, makes 
them the residuary legatees of his estate, “upon their return 
from captivity.” 
The period of 1690 to 1710, might well be called the Reign of 
Terror, and the Dark Age of New England. The inhabitants of 
Groton became so much wearied out and impoverished, that they 
petitioned the government several times for relief. In one of 
these petitions, dated in 1703, the people say: “we spend so 
much time in watching and warding that we can do little else ; 
and truly we have lived almost two years more like soldiers than 
otherwise.” In another, dated July 9, 1707, the selectmen name 
several families that had been obliged to leave the town, and 
others “that are considering of going,” being “unable to subsist 
any longer,” on account of the Indian troubles. Among the 
latter were the three brothers,—John, William, and Samuel 
Shattuck,—and twenty others of their connections and neighbors, 
some of whom did actually remove, either for a temporary period 
or permanently. John Shattuck, however, remained. But on 
the Sth of May, 1709, two years afterwards, he and his eldest 
son, then in his 19th year, were both murdered by the Indians. 
Tradition says that this massacre occurred while they were 
crossing the Nashua River, in the vicinity of the Stony-Ford- 80 
THIRD GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
Way, near Hollingsworth’s mills, on the return of Mr. Shattuck 
from his lands on the west side of the river. 
The deaths by accident and violence in two successive genera- 
tions in this branch of the family, prematurely removing two 
worthy and respectable men, fathers and protecting guardians of 
their children, were great calamities, and materially affected their 
condition, their fortunes, and their history. And these calamities 
were magnified by the times, and under the circumstances exist- 
ing when they occurred. If these fathers had lived to the 
ordinary age of their kindred, how much could they have done 
for their families! 
Mr. Shattuck m. Mary Blood, b. Sept. 1, 1672, dau. of James 
Blood and Elizabeth Longley, and granddau. of Richard Blood and 
Wm. Longley.* She remained a widow 47 years, and d. March 4, 
* William Longley first settled in Lynn about 1638, where he was one of the selectmen in 
1645, and a clerk of the writs in 1655. He removed to Groton, where he was town clerk in 
1666. He d. there, Nov. 29, 1680, leaving a will dated 6 days before his death. His widow, 
Joanna m. Benjamin Crispe. She survived him and d. in Charlestown in 1698. She also left a 
will, dated April 12th, and proved Dec. 28th of that year. (See Genealogical Register, Vol. 
VII., p. 188 ; Mid. Prob Rcc., Vol. IV., p. 231; Mid. Deeds, Vol. XII., p. 77; Vol. XXXII., 
p. 532, and Vol. XXXVII., p. 702.) Mr. Longley had the following children :— 
1. Elizabeth. She m. Sept. 7, 1669, James Blood, and d. about 1677,leaving two daughters. 
Mary, b Sept. 1, 1672, and Elizabeth, b. April 27, 1675. Neither the mother nor the daughters 
are mentioned by Mr. Longley in his will, but his wife "Joanna, who styles herself, “ react of 
Benjamin Crispe of Groton, formerly widow of William Longley,” remembers them in her will 
in 1698, after tneir marriage to the two brothers, John and Samuel Shattuck, in the following 
terms :—“ I give and bequeath unto two of my granddaughters, viz , Mary Shaddock ana 
Elizabeth Shaddock, three acres of meadow lying and being in New Angle Meadow, joining to 
Dunstable, and forty acres of upland out of the six score acres lying and being on the other side 
of Groton River, the said meadow and upland to be equally divided between the said Mary and 
Elizabeth Shaddock.” This proves that Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel Shattuck, was the 
daughter of James Blood, not Nathaniel Blood, as was once supposed. (See notice tf the 
Bloods in the Appendix.)

7. William. He m. May 15,1673, Lydia , and settled in Groton. He was town clerk 
in 1687, and from 1692 until his death. He lived on the east side of the “ Hollis Road,” on a 
knoll, a short distance northerly of William Shattuck’s, and south of J. Fitch’s, as marked on 
Butler’s map. Here, on the 27th July, 1694, he, and his wife, and several of his children, were 
massacred by the Indians, and three others were carried into captivity, where they remained a 
number of years. Their grandmother Crispe, in her will, bequeathed to her “ three grandchil- 
dren that are in captivity, if they return, three books; one of them a bible, another a sermon 
book treating of faith, and the other a psalm book.” 
John Longley, one of these captives, was redeemed by his friends in 1700, and afterwards 
resided in Groton, and was one of its most worthy citizens He was many years parish and 
town treasurer; town clerk six years, 1723 to 1726, and 1728 and 1729; representative in the 
General Court three years, 1729 to 1731 ; and deacon in the church from 1722 until his death,

1707, and she in 1721. He died leaving her, as his own father 
had left his own mother, at a dark and perilous period, to rear 
and provide for a large family of young children, the youngest 
not then three months old. To her heroic virtues, and to her 
excellence as a woman and a mother, her posterity owe a large 
debt of gratitude.

ORIGIN OF THE G KOTOS BRANCHES. 
11. William Shattuck, s. of John, (p. 71,) was b. in Wat., 
Sept. 11, 1670, and d. in Groton in 1744, in his 74th year. His 
residence was a little southerly of the house built by his grand- 
son Job Shattuck, near Wattle’s Pond. The following facts 
concerning him are derived from authentic and positive evidence, 
partly from the records of Watertown and Groton, and partly 
from papers on file, but not recorded, in the Middlesex Probate 
Office. He lived in Groton with his mother* and step-father, 
Enoch Lawrence, from 1678 until about the time of his marriage 
in 1688, when he returned to Watertown, where he resided the 
principal part of the subsequent fourteen years. In 1691 he was 
impressed into the public military service of the Colony j and on 
the 4th Dec., 1691, the selectmen of Watertown 
“ Agreed that Mr. William Shattuck should take care to provide for the reliefe 
of the wife and two children of his cosen [nephew] William Shattuck, during the 
time of his beeing out in the country service from the 18th November, 1691, till 
he corns home, or the town taks furder order; and that the sd William shall be 
paid for his pains the one part out of the county assessments, as by order of the 
General Court is allowable, and the other part out of the town rate.” 
This was undoubtedly the William Shattuck, the subject of 
this notice ; and his two children then born, were William and 
Hannah hereafter mentioned. After his return from the military 82 
THIRD GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
campaign, as a consideration for his services, the selectmen voted 
to give him a lot of land for a dwelling-house, near “ Patch 
Meadow;” and to allow him to cut timber owned by the town, 
to build it. He probably availed himself of this grant, in part at 
least; for we find the following entry upon the Watertown rec- 
ords, Nov. 16, 1702. At a public town meeting— 
“Voted that if William Shattuck, junior, doth deliver the house & lands & 
fences to Manings Sawin, Town Treasurer, that he did hold of the town, within 
eight days next coming, then the sd Town Treasurer is to deliver the sJ four 
pounds, that he acquired of John Green, to the sd William Shattuck, as a gratuity 
from the town to help him in his removing to Groton.” 
In 1702 he bought lands in and removed to Groton. In 1707he 
was one of those already mentioned in our notice of his brother 
John, (p. 79,) who “ were considering of removing” from Groton 
on account of the Indian troubles; and his wife Hannah, and 
probably her children, did actually return to Watertown in 1707, 
and resided a short time in the family of John Barnard, Jr. 
They were afterwards, however, permanent inhabitants of Groton. 
On the 21st Sept., 1716, William Shattuck deeded to his son 
“ in consideration of the paternal lov§ and affection I bear to my 
son William Shattuck, junior,”—“that he may be settled for the 
support of his family, and that he and his heirs may be forever 
debarred of making any further claim or demand of any farther 
portion out of my estate that I shall die seized of, either personal 
or real, except what I may hereafter give him,” &c. This deed 
is signed by Wm. Shattuck, the father, and Anna or Hannah 
Shattuck, the mother. (Midd. Deeds, Yol. XXXVIII., pp. 33, 34.) 
His son John Shattuck administered on his estate ; and in the peti- 
tion for his appointment the widow Deliverance Shattuck calls him 
“ her son-in-law,” step-son, or son of her husband by a former wife. 
William is called “the eldest son of the diseased,” and the others, 
children and heirs. The inventory of his property was present- 
ed June 1, 1744; and Wm. Shattuck’s portion of the real estate 
which he had received from his father, was apprised as land “ in 
his hands.” The remainder was divided by commissioners ap- 
pointed for the purpose in 1747; and the different heirs, and the 
portions assigned to each, are described in the deed of partition 
on the files of the court. “ 1. To Deliverance, the widow of the 
diseased,” &c. “2. To John Shattuck, one of the diseased 83 
sons,” &c. “3. To Daniel Shattuck, another of the diseased 
sons,” &c. “ 4. To Hannah Blood, eldest daughter of the 
diseased, wife to Nathaniel Blood,” &c. “ 5. To Ruth Nut- 
ting, youngest daughter of the diseased, wife to Ebenezer Nut- 
ting,” &c. 
William Shattuck m. 1, in Watertown, March 19, 1688, Han- 
nah Underwood. He is described in the record as then of 
Groton, and she of Watertown. There was no other William 
Shattuck then in Groton, or Watertown, excepting his uncle, 
(p. 74.) This wife was the mother of his children, and died 
about 1717. 
He m. 2, in Groton, March 24, 1719, Deliverance Pease, 
who survived him. His wives were members of the church, and 
his children were baptized. These facts, and others hereafter to 
be stated, unquestionably prove a genealogical succession and 
descent from the first William Shattuck of Watertown to the 
recent families of the name in Groton. Each consecutive link 
in the chain is unbroken, and without irregularity.

mental infirmity and not capable of caring for her own sub- 
sistence.” Her separate estate was then valued at £182 16. 11, 
and consisted principally in lands, the title to most of which 
came to her by inheritance from the Bloods and Longleys. She 
united with the church in 1705, and her husband in 1709. 84

A deed from Benjamin Pratt to Joseph Shattuck, dated March

sells lands to Samuel Comstock ; and in 1763 William Williams 
sells lands in the second parish of Saybrook to Joseph Shattuck. 
These facts show that he or his son was at those periods an 
inhabitant of that place. The present town clerk informs us that 
the name has not appeared upon his records for many years past.

and other years. His will, dated Sept. 28, 1730, contains a 
codicil, dated Dec. 29, 1754, and proved Dec. 8, 1767. (Midd.

ORIGIN OP THIS IiITTXETON BRAXCIiES. 
25. Rev. Benjamin Shattuck, s. of William, (p. 76,) was b. 
in Watertown, July 30, 1687, and d. in Littleton, about 1763, 
the precise date not ascertained. On the 17th Jan., 1709, the 
year in which he was graduated at Harvard College, he engaged 
to keep the “ Grammar and English School,” at the rate of £30 
per year; and the town agreed to build a new school-house for 
his accommodation.* He continued the teacher for six years, 
until 1715; and in the mean time studied divinity. He was or- 
dained the first minister of Littleton, Dec. 25, 1717. On the 
13th May, 1719, a committee of the proprietors of Littleton, con- 
sisting of Major Jonathan Prescott and Capt. Joseph Bulkley of 
Concord, Capt. Israel Powers of Littleton, Nathaniel Wilder of 
Lancaster, and Ebenezer Lawrence of Groton, “for divers good 
reasons and weighty considerations moving thereto,” conveyed 
to him the “ministerial lot, so called,” consisting of about one 
hundred acres of upland and mowing, lying on both sides of 
“ King Street,” now running southerly from the centre of the 
town to the railroad station. His dwelling-house was the first 
on the right of that highway south of the burying-ground, where 
Hayward Hartwell now (1853) lives. His connection with the 
town, as their minister, was dissolved Aug. 30, 1730, though his 
salary was continued until May, 1731. No reasons for the disso- 
lution are given upon the records; but it appears to have been 
done in mutual good will. He continued to reside there until 
his death, much respected by his townsmen. In 1742, some 
pews were erected in the meeting-house, and the town “ voted 
that Mr. Shattuck and his wife set in the front seat.” A marble 
monument, erected to his memory in the Littleton burying- 
ground, bears the following inscription :—“ Here sleeps until the 
* According to the Watertown Records, this house was “twenty and five foots in length, and 
twenty foots in breadth, and six foots & a half between joints.” “ Mr. Caleb Church, docter 
Philip Sbattuck, Sam11 Biglow, Mr. William Shattuck, senr: and Mr. Joseph Sherman” were 
appointed a “ committee to cary on the work of building and furnishing the school house.” It 
was furnished with “ three tables & all so three foorms.” The whole cost was £35. It was 
situated “within about twenty rods of the middle meeting-house in the town,” which, according 
to Dr. Francis, (Hist. Wat., p. 142.) stood “in one of the angles now (1830) formed by the 
intersection of the roads near the houses of Charles Whitney and Joel Pierce—a place some- 
times called the Four Corners.” 90

* A tradition lias prevailed that Philip Shattuck was the father of Rev. Benjamin Shattuck, as 
stated in this inscription, but evidence has recently been discovered which proves a different 
relationship. The Worcester Registry of Deeds, Vol. XXXV., p. 439, contains a conveyance, 
dated Jan. 12, 1743, of a lot of land in “Naraganset township, No. 2,” (Westminster,) to Abner 
Holden, from “ Benjamin Shattuck of Littleton,” belonging to the “ heirs of his honored father, 
Mr. William Shattuck, late of Watertown, deceased.” And from old papers in the possession 
of the late David Kendall of Waltham, it appears that his real estate descended to him from 
Philip Shattuck through his son Benjamin Shattuck, and grandson Josiah Shattuck. These 
facts prove that Benjamin the son of Philip, resided in Cambridge, and that Benjamin the son of 
William was the minister of Littleton. See also the conveyance of the heirs of William Shattuck 
to William Grcenlcaf, referred to, on the next page, as additional evidence.

on tradition, that Martha Sherman was granddaughter of Rev. John Sherman, the first minister

performed the duty with fraternal faithfulness and affection. His

* These children were residents of Plymouth during their minority. In 1733 Josiah Carver 
was appointed their guardian. The ancestors of their mother were among the original Pilgrims. 
Her grandfather, also named Bcnnajah Pratt, m. Nov. 29, 1655, Persis Dunham. He was 
probably the son of Phineas Pratt, who d. April 19,1680, ae. 90, and grandson of Joshua Pratt, 
one of the third freight of Pilgrims who in 1623 came over in the ships Ann and Little James. 
Phineas Pratt m. in Plymouth in 1630, a daughter of Cuthburt Cuthburtson.—“an intelligent 
Dutchman that understood the English tongue,” who had united with the Puritan church in 
Leyden. Cuthburtson m. Sarah Allerton, a sister of Isaac Allerton, who came in the same ship with

In the meantime he had built a new house near the Stony-

and he subsequently bought of the other heirs all their rights in 
their father’s estate. This estate he held until 1751, when he 
sold it to Abel Parker, his son-in-law. In 1725 he bought a 
tract of land westerly of the. present meeting-house in Pepperell, 
and built upon “ Windfall Plain,” where the late Capt. Abijah. 
Shattuck, his great-grandson, lived. He afterwards made several 
additional purchases, until he possessed 400 to 500 acres, com- 
prising the farm now owned by the town, and those owned by 
Jonathan Shattuck, Thomas C. Shattuck, Henry Jewett, and 
others. Here he acquired a considerable estate as a farmer. He 
was held in high estimation by his fellow-townsmen, and was 
often chosen into public office. He and his wife were both

HER CHILDREN, BY ISAAC LAKIN, BORN IN GROTON, 
34. William Shattuck, eldest s. of William, (p. 83,) was b. 
in Watertown in 1689, and d. in Groton, Aug. 1757, ae. 68. He 
lived near Watle’s Pond, on a farm partly given to him by his 
father, but enlarged by several purchases made by himself. 
During his lifetime he gave to his children by his first wife what 
he considered their proportion of his estate, and took their quit- 
claim as heirs; but he made a will dated Aug. 13th, and proved 
Sept. 8, 1757, disposing of his personal property, in which his 
son Ezekiel was made executor, and he and his brother Job were 
the principal heirs. The other children received merely a nom- 
inal sum. (Midd. Rec., Vol. XXVII., p. 455.) Ezekiel d. with- 
out issue soon after, and the estate was settled by Job without 
the aid of the probate court. He was baptized upon his own 
profession, April 14, 1717. 
He m. 1, March 15, 1711, Abigail Shattuck. She was the 
dau. of his great uncle Samuel Shattuck, (p. 75,) and was b. in 
Watertown, Oct. 17, 1686, and baptized in that town. She united 
with the church in Groton, Dec. 2, 1716, and d. about 1727.

36. Capt. Daniel Shattuck, s. of William, (p. 83,) was b. in 
Watertown in 1692, but spent the period of his minority chiefly in 
Groton. From 1719 to 1723 he lived in Worcester, but removed 
about the latter date to Northfield, and about 1736 to Hinsdale, 
within the present bounds of New Hampshire, where he d. March 
17, 1760, aged, as his grave-stone says, “about 67.” He was a 
large landholder and a wealthy farmer. He had 215 acres in the 
division of the Northfield Commons,—a larger proportion than 
a majority of the proprietors. His dwelling-house was in the 
southerly part of “ Mary’s Meadow,” so called—about one hun- 
dred rods east of Connecticut River, one mile south of Fort 
Hinsdale, one mile southeast of Fort Howe on the west side of 
the river now within the limits of Yernon, and three miles south 
of Fort Dummer within the limits of Brattleborough. He built

DANIEL SHATTUCK. 
two houses with hewn timbers on either side of a small brook. 
In the upper part were posts for sentinels, and holes to fire through. 
These houses were enclosed with a strong palisade, built with 
timbers and thick plank, surmounted with pickets; and the en- 
closure was called “ Shattuck’s Fort.” (Doolittle’s Narrative.) 
During the wars in 1745, and subsequently, the whole people of 
the neighborhood came to this fort to live. When the men 
labored on their farms or went to church, they carried their guns 
with them, and were always guarded by sentinels. On the 15th 
Aug., 1746, during the absence of Capt. Shattuck at Fort Dum- 
mer, the Indians fired upon four men near the fort, but hurt none. 
March 30, 1747, about thirty or forty Indians came to the fort 
silently in the night, “ with fagots of dried spruce with the ends 
dipped in brimstone, and set it on fire. That part of it which 
stood on one side of the brook was burnt; but owing to a strong 
wind the other part was saved.” (Doolittle, pp. 8, 10.) The 
English fired upon and disabled some of the Indians, but they 
made their escape. 
Capts. Shattuck, senior and junior, were large athletic men 
over six feet high, and of great commanding presence. Their 
children were also above the medium size. It is said the Indians 
regarded them with fear, love and veneration, as superhuman 
beings. They generally lived on friendly terms with the savages, 
and their influence over them was always very great. The In- 
dians probably did not design to kill them in this attack, but to 
take them alive and make them chiefs and leaders. 
He m. 1, in Marlborough, April 16, 1719, Martha Serjent, 
then said to have been of Westborough. She d. in Worcester in 
1722. She was the dau. of Digory Serjent, the unfortunate 
pioneer settler of Worcester, who with his wife was killed by the 
Indians in 1704, while his children were carried into captivity. 
(Lincoln’s Hist. Worcester, pp. 35-38.) Serjent’s will, dated in 
1696, was proved in 1707, but his estate was not settled until 
1721, when parts were assigned to Thomas and John Serjent, to 
Daniel Shattuck, and to Daniel and Mary Serjent, then in Canada. 
Mr. Shattuck was allowed £20 for building a house or “hovel,” 
—as log-houses were sometimes called—on lands set off to John 
Serjent. On the 20th Dec., 1721, Mr. Shattuck sold his right in 
the common land in Worcester to Moses Leonard. 98

Sergeant Boltwood was killed at the sacking of Deerfield, Feb. 
28, 1704. Mrs. Shattuck d. in Hinsdale, March 16, 1757, ae. 65 
y. 7 m. 15 d. She was interred with her husband in the family 
burying-ground located on the old Shattuck farm, where have 
been buried several successive generations of the race; and 
where there are now existing several monuments erected to their 
memory.

44. John Shattuck, s. of Samuel, (p. 84,) was b. Jan. 21, 
1711. He was a farmer, and settled on the road leading north- 
erly from the meeting-house in Peppered, where he d. Dec. 15, 
1785, m. 74 y. 10 m. 24 d. He left a will, and property valued 
at $997 17. He was one of the selectmen in 1760, 1767, and 
1768, and was otherwise useful as a public man, and respected as 
a private citizen. His house was one of the garrison houses 
which were maintained even after 1750. Rev. Mr. Emerson, 
who was ordained in 1747, says, in a manuscript sermon now 
before us: “This was a frontier place. Since my residence here 
we have had garrisons and soldiers allowed by government; and 
have been obliged to carry our arms to the house of God, when 
we assembled for worship.” It is said that Mr. Emerson, in one 
of his pastoral visits to Mr. Shattuck, urged him to set up family 
worship, and said “he should not leave him until he began the 
duty.” From this or some other cause it was commenced and 
continued through life. 
He m. 1, Dec. 11, 1739, Sarah Hobart, b. March 4, 1718. 
* Mr. Butler, (History of Groton, p 111,) says, “An Indian had been seen, for several days, 
lurking about the town, it was conjectured, upon some evil design. Mr. Ames, who lived on 
the intervale, on the west side of Nashua River, now owned by John Boynton, Esq., went into 
h's pasture to catch his horse. Discovering the Indian, he ran for his house; the Indian pursued 
and shot him as he entered his gate. The dead body prevented the gate’s closing, as it would 
otherwise have done of itself, and the Indian pressed in to enter the house, v here Ames had a 
son and daughter. The son seized his gun, and shot at him as he entered the gate. The ball, 
striking the latch of the door, split, and one part of it wounded the Indian, but not severely. As 
the son attempted to close the door against the enemy, after the shot, the Indian thrust his foot 
in, and prevented. The son called to his sister to bring his fathec’s gun from the bedside, and a‘ 
the same time striking the Indian’s foot with the breach of his gun, compelled him to withdraw 
it, and closed the door. While the Indian was in the act of reloading his gun, the young man 
found means to shoot through a crevice and killed him. Two men, at work, about a mile distant 
in a mill, Ezra and Benjamin Farnsworth, hearing the reports of the guns, and suspecting the 
cause thereof, were soon at the place, and found the bodies of Ames and the Indian both weltering 
in their blood. This is the last man killed by an Indian in the neighborhood of Groton.” JOHN SHATTUCK DAVID SHATTUCK.

OUHilV OF THE AXDOVEIl BRANCHES. 
48. Joseph Shattuck settled upon a farm which he bought 
partly in 1728 of Stephen Barrett, and partly in 1731 of Zebadiah 
Chandler, in the west parish of Andover, near the Merrimac 
River, where he resided during the remainder of his life. His 
parentage is involved in some doubt. Some have conjectured 
that he might have been descended from Samuel Shattuck of 
Salem; but a more careful examination has showed that the 
name in that line became extinct, and that this conjecture is not JOSEPH SHATTUCK JOSIAH SHATTUCK. 
105 
well founded. The similarity of family names and other facts 
render it highly probable that he descended from William Shat- 
tuck, our own progenitor, though we have been unable from 
records to prove the exact relationship. He might have been the 
son of Samuel of Watertown, (p. 77,) or more probably of Sam- 
uel of Groton, (p. 84,) though his birth in either case may not 
have been recorded. According to his age at death, if stated 
correctly upon the records, he must have been born about the 
beginning of the year 1707. There was an interval of four 
years from 1705 to 1709, between the births of Elizabeth and 
Ruth, daughters of Samuel Shattuck, during which this Joseph 
was born. Upon this probability we have placed his family and 
descendants in this connection, as part of these Memorials. He 
d. March 21, 1772, in the 66th year of his age, leaving a will, 
dated June 6, 1761, and proved April 7, 1772. Estate appraised 
at £232 10. (Essex Records, Yol. XLYII., p. 189.)

have been of a precocious development and of remarkable beauty. 
“ Twice seven consenting years had shed 
Their utmost bounty on her head.” 
Mr. Sampson is said to have been a reputable gentleman from 
London, who had visited this country for the benefit of his 
health, with an intention of a speedy return; but meeting with 
the beautiful Miss Shattuck, her attractions were too irresistible to 
allow him to carry out his purpose. He married and remained here; 
but while upon a pleasure excursion in Boston harbor, his boat was 
attacked by a shark, and he was tipped overboard and devoured.

* Mr. Sampson of Cincinnati supposes himself to be one of the heirs to a large property in 
London, once called Sampson’s Gardens. This estate was appropriated by Act of Parliament 
to the London Dock Company; and the payment therefor deposited in the Bank of England 
for the absent heirs. But it cannot be (Obtained unless they can legally trace their ancestry, and 
show an exact connection with the last possessors of the property. T'his evidence he attempted 
to obtain in London in 1343, but without success. “ Mr. t\fm. Thompson, a merchant of 
London, formerly paying clerk of the London Dock Company, told me when I was in London/' 
■says 31r. Sampson, “ that he had paid into (the bank in instalments the amount of the appraise- 
ment for the heirs of the property—that the amount was large; and, continued be, it is there 
now for you with forty years' interest attached to it.” It is very probable that the descendants 
of the beautiful Rebecca will be none the richer for this estate. So far as they are concerned 
it may be a “ castle in the air,” like most other similar traditionary legacies. But if there be 
.really any substance to it, and there seems to be a strong presumption in its favor, they had 
better be content as they are; for the longest life is hardly Jong enough, and the largest purse is 
hardly rich enough, to commence and to terminate* chancery suit at law in the English courts 
for its recover}’. Every one should be assured that no estate can be obtained from England 
except in a legal way, and upon legal proof j and the difficulty or impossibility of obtaining

ORIGIN OF TIIE DEERFIELD HR A ACHES. 
51. Samuel Shattuck, s. of Dr. Joseph, (p. 86.) was b. in 
Watertown, May 29, 1716, and d. in Montague, Dec. 29, 1760, 
as. 44 y. 7 m. He was probably the Samuel Shattuck who was 
a proprietor of Petersham at its first incorporation, (Wilson’s Ad- 
dress, pp. 15, 88.) He afterwards settled in Deerfield. His eldest 
son served a campaign in the French war; and on his return 
brought home the small pox, and gave it to both his parents. 
The mother and son recovered, but the father died. So far as 
the information contained in this volume shows, the name of Shat- 
tuck, among the descendants of Dr. Philip, his grandfather, has 
been preserved only in the line of this Samuel. In the other 
branches it appears to have become extinct. 
He m. Dec. 4, 1740, Sarah Clesson, b. Jan. 10, 1722, dau. of 
Joseph Clesson and Hannah Arms of Northampton, and granddau. 
of Matthew Clesson and Mary Phelps, who were m. in 1670. Her 
will, dated Sept. 14, 1785, appoints her kinsman Eliakim Arms her 
executor, and leaves legacies to 10 children or their representatives.

physical and mental powers, and a warm patriot. On the memo- 
rable 19th of April, 1775, after he was sixty-five years of age, he 
shouldered his gun and marched to Concord, to share the dangers 
of that eventful day, and followed the retreating enemy to Cam- 
bridge.

3. Jonathan, b. Aug. 9, 1746; m. Huldah Curtis, 131 
4. Somers, b. July 6, 1749; m. Esther Rogers, 132 
5. Arthur, b. Nov. 29, 1751. He was “ rated” in Pepperell in 1774, but his 
tax was abated for non-residence. His subsequent history is not positively 
known. It is said he went into the naval service in the revolution, under 
Capt. Manley, and was lost at sea. 
56. Timothy Shattuck, s. of Rev. Benjamin, (p. 90,) was b. 
in Watertown, about 1715. He first settled in Middletown, Ct., 
where he bought and sold real estate from 1740 to 1762. The 
last transaction recorded was at the latter date, and his name does 
not subsequently appear upon the records of that town. The date 
and place of his death have not been ascertained. In the records 
of New Haven, now North Haven, his son, in 1773, is styled 
“ Timothy Shattuck, Jr.,” and in 1777, “ Timothy Shattuck, late 
Timothy Shattuck, Jr.,” from which it is inferred that Timothy, 
sen., d. about 1775 or 6. 
He m. Nov. 5, 1740, Desire Hall, b. June 19, 1719, dau. of

in Littleton, Jan. 1, 1718, and first settled in Middletown, Ct., 
where he owned considerable real estate. He returned to his 
native town about the time of his marriage, and there united with 
the church, and became a leading man in its public affairs; was 
chosen for several years one of the selectmen, often moderator of 
town meetings, and held other public positions. The following 
very unusual, but highly complimentary vote, appears upon the 
records of Littleton, passed March 6, 1769, when he declined a 
reelection to public office :—“ Voted, That the thanks of the town 
be given to Mr. William Shattuck for his past services as town WILLIAM SHATTUCK SARAH SHATTUCK. 
111 
officer.” In 1769 he removed to New Ipswich, N. H., and set- 
tled on a farm near the south burying-ground, beyond the “ Mill 
Village.” It is said that a sister of his wife married Capt. Eleazer 
Cumming, who had previously settled in New Ipswich, which 
might have induced his removal. He became there, as he had 
been in Littleton, one of the most prominent citizens. In 1774, 
he paid the highest tax except three of 111 persons in the “ South 
List” of the town. He was an ardent, influential patriot, and 
spent much time and money in the revolutionary struggle. He 
was chosen one of the selectmen in 1770, ’72, ’73, ’75, ’76, ’78, 
’79, and ’86; moderator of town meeting in 1775; member of 
the Committee of Correspondence in 1775, and the same year a 
Delegate to the Provincial Congress; a representative in the 
Legislature in 1776 ; and was otherwise distinguished as a public 
man and worthy citizen. About 1794 he bought a farm in Jaf- 
frey, N. H., and removed to that town, where he d. Jan., 1806, 
se. 88. His farm was sold after his death for $700, which went 
to his heirs.

Hampton parish, Chatham, Ct. He d. in Middletown, Feb. 12, 
1802, se. 80 y. 8 m. 9 d.; the records of Dr. Crane’s church say, 
“ in the morning suddenly at Oliver Prout’s,” probably while he 
was on a visit to that town. His numerous descendants have the 
satisfaction of tracing their ancestry through their father S’nat- 
tuck to the founders of the Massachusetts Colony, and through 
their mother Cook, and their grandmother Pratt, (note, p. 92,) to 
the founders of the still older Colony of Plymouth—the Pilgrims 
of the May Flower. The blood that once flowed through the 
good old Puritan stock of both Colonies, which were united in 
1692 to form the Old Bay State, still courses through their veins. 
May they ever strive to maintain the principles of their forefathers, 
and render themselves worthy of their origin !

1724, and d. in Pepperell, Dec. 31, 1807, as. 83 y. 9 m. 19 d. 
His name appears upon the records as John Shattuck, Jr., (p. 102.) 
He was a farmer, and built and first occupied the house now 
owned by Henry Jewett, about a mile southwesterly of the meet- 
ing-house.* He was one of the selectmen in 1769, ’70, ’71, ’78, 
and ’79; one of the Committee of Correspondence, Inspection 
and Safety in 1774, and was otherwise respected for his worth 
as a man and a citizen. He left a will, dated April 6, 1805, but 
his estate was settled without the aid of the probate court. His 
son Nathaniel inherited the principal part of his property left at 
his decease. He educated his youngest son, Caleb, at Dartmouth 
College. 
He m. Aug. 16, 1750, Elizabeth Shattuck, b. May 17, 1728,

and her husband were both exemplary members of the church. 
She was a woman of remarkable intelligence, industry, and ex- 
cellence of character; performed the usual household labors and 
duties; brought up her family of nine children respectably, with- 
out a death before their marriage ; and spun and wove the cloth 
for their clothing, without assistance. Girls and wives of our 
day, look at this picture ! 
* Near his house was a shallow pond or swamp, the waters of which were raised to kill the 
bushes. When drained the miasma that arose was supposed to have been the cause of the 
great fever in 1755 to 1758, known, from its peculiar severity, as the “ Pepperell Fever.” Rev. 
Mr. Emerson, in a sermon in reference to this fever, says, that in four years 510 persons were 
sick, 103 died, of whom 48 were heads of families, 64 grown persons,21 (including 3 deacons) 
members of the church; and all this in a population of about 700! ESTHER SHATTUCK MARY SHATTUCK.

Shattuck, Esq., Jan. 13, 1819, ae. 82 y. 10 m. 2 d. His name 
has been handed down in the historical annals of the country in 
connection with the insurrection of 1786, known as “ Shays’ Re- 
bellion and since he was one of the greatest sufferers in that 
movement, it is deemed proper in this place to give more in de- 
tail the leading facts of his life and character. Many of these 122 
FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
facts are not now matters of published history, or have been un- 
fairly presented or imperfectly understood. 
He was bred a farmer, and came into possession, by inheritance 
or purchase, of the real estate previously owned by his father. To 
this he made large additions, until he acquired more than 500 
acres of land bordering on Nashua River. For several years 
prior to 1786 he was the largest farmer in Groton. In 1779 he 
had 40 acres of rye in one field, which was then of unusual ex- 
tent. On his father’s farm were two dwelling-houses. The one 
which he first occupied stood a little south of the house which 
he built about 1782, now standing near Wattle’s Pond, and oc- 
cupied by H. Holmes ; the other stood on the high ground west- 
erly towards the river, and was occupied by his brother Metcalf. 
He was one of the selectmen of Groton in 1778, 1779, and 
1781; often chosen on important committees; and otherwise 
received public evidence of his respectable social standing among 
his fellow-townsmen. 
His first public military service was in 1755, at the age of 19, 
as a soldier in a company of Col. Monkton’s troops in the French 
War in Nova Scotia. He was one of the Minute Men under 
Capt. Asa Lawrence, engaged on the 19th of April, 1775, at Concord 
and Lexington, and on the 17th of June at Bunker Hill. He was 
afterwards first Lieutenant in a Groton company, of which Josiah 
Sawtell was Captain, and Shattuck Blood was second Lieutenant, 
(p. 96.) In 1776 he commanded a company which went to Bos- 
ton, when that town was evacuated by the British troops. In 
1777 he commanded a company raised in Groton and its vicinity, 
which marched to Ticonderoga at the surrender of Burgoyne. 
In 1779 he was appointed Captain of the military company in 
Groton, and continued in office until after peace was declared. 
He was at the head of the committee to raise men and money for 
the war. During the whole period of the revolution he spent 
much time and money, performed very important public services, 
and at all times exhibited great bravery, energy, and self-sacri- 
ficing patriotism. On one occasion, in 1780, finding it difficult 
to obtain men, he consented that his two sons should volunteer 
for the service, notwithstanding the demand for labor upon his 
farm. Ezekiel went to Rhode Island; Job, Jr. went to West 
Point, and was there when Arnold deserted and Andre was exe- JOB SHATTUCK.

cuted. The father’s conduct on this occasion was so highly ap- 
proved, that his townsmen “ made a bee,” by which some thirty 
men reaped and gathered about 400 bushels of rye in one day. 
The five years immediately succeeding the close of the revolu- 
tionary war was a most gloomy and trying period in the history 
of Massachusetts. A great amount of personal service, of treas- 
ure, and of blood, had been expended in the war to gain inde- 
pendence ; the soldiers who had served their country long and 
faithfully had returned home penniless; the continental paper 
money issued to pay continental debts had become worthless; 
the public credit was destroyed; the State, and every town in 
the State, were deeply in debt; and contracts between individ- 
uals, entered into on the basis of paper money, had to be exe- 
cuted on that of silver or its equivalent—then an article of ex- 
treme scarcity. These and other causes produced embarrass- 
ments unparalleled in the history of the country, and threatened 
universal bankruptcy and ruin. The fond anticipations of those 
who had pledged everything for liberty had not only not been 
realized, but a worse state of affairs was produced than had ever 
before existed. “ The hearts of all were filled with dismay.” 
At this juncture too a State tax of £140,000 was imposed in one 
year, equal to nearly $500,000, and payable in currency valued 
as silver—a tax enormously large at any period, and particularly 
at that time, when the State contained only about one third of 
its present inhabitants, and those were comparatively poor. To 
fulfil private contracts and satisfy public demands was to all in- 
convenient, and to many impossible; and the burdens fell with 
their most crushing weight upon farmers and mechanics. The 
consequence was a great multiplication of lawyers and expensive 
lawsuits, and the additional burdens they imposed ; and the at- 
tachment and sacrifice, by public sales of property, to discharge 
heavy, distressing executions. Many were reduced to utter desti- 
tution. The last acre of land, the last cow, and the last necessity 
of life, were often taken to satisfy the demands of the public tax- 
gatherer. Often, too, the body itself was incarcerated for unsatis- 
fied debts. It was then thought by many persons that the meas- 
ures of the government and of its executive officers were arbitrary, 
oppressive, and an “infringement of injured rights and privileges;” 
as well as unwise, impolitic, and unnecessary. Town-meetings 124 
FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
and county conventions were held, and earnest petitions from in- 
dividuals and from public bodies, for relief from their “grievances” 
as they were then called, went up to the Executive and to the 
Legislature, but with unsatisfactory results. 
As early as the 27th of June, 1786, a town-meeting was held 
in Groton, called at the written request of sixty-eight—a very 
large majority of its legal voters—to take into consideration the 
condition of the country. The warrant for the meeting con- 
tained fifteen articles to be acted upon ;* and they were all 
referred to a Committee, chosen for the purpose, consisting of Dr. 
Benjamin Morse, Capt. Job Shattuck, Ensign Moses Childs, Capt. 
Asa Lawrence, and Capt. Zachariah Fitch, to whom “discretion- 
ary powers” were given to act as they pleased; and “ to cor- 
respond with other Committees of any towns in the Common- 
wealth relative to our public grievances ; and to draw up a pe- 
tition to lay before the General Court for a redress of the same.” 
At length the people in the western counties of the State met, 
organized under Daniel Shays,f and resolved to resist, under 
arms if need be, the further issue and the legal enforcement of 
executions originating under the circumstances to which we have 
referred. The Court of Common Pleas, the principal source from 
which these executions were derived, had become particularly ob- 
noxious ; and it was determined to prevent its sessions, until some 
relief could be obtained; and the courts in Hampshire and Wor- 
cester counties were actually stopped. The excitement was not, 
however, confined to those counties, but extended to every other 
part of the Commonwealth. Many of the suffering people every- 
where sympathized in the movement. In Middlesex, the discon- 
tent was particularly manifest in Groton and its neighborhood. 
A considerable number of persons organized under Capt. Nathan 
Smith of Shirley and Benjamin Page of Groton, and on the 12th 
of September proceeded to Concord, partly under arms, to pre- 
* Four of these articles ran thus :—“ 6. To see if the town will vote not to have any Inferior 
Court. 7. To see if the town will vote not to have more than one attorney in a county to draw 
writs, and that he be paid the same as the State’s Attorney. 8. To see if the town will vote 
that there be a stop put to all law suits of a civil nature, until there is a greater circulation of 
money than there is at present.—15. To see if the town will vote to choose a Committee of 
Safety, to see that there are no more infringements made on our injured rights and privileges, and 
transact any thing relative to the above articles, or any other things which may be necessary for 
the good of the public at large.” 
t Gen. Shays, the leader in this rebellion, died in Sparta, N. Y., Sept. 29, 1825, se. 84. Not- 
withstanding the prominent part he acted, he was never arrested, having fled from the State. 
He, however, received a general pardon, and was afterwards a pensioner of the United States 
government. Several others, convicted of" Treason” and under sentence, were also pardoned. JOB SHATTUCK.

vent the usual September session of the Court. The number at 
11 o’clock was about seventy, but increased in the afternoon to 
about two hundred and fifty, by the arrival of others from Wor- 
cester county; and from other towns in Middlesex, among whom 
Col. Robinson of Westford was conspicuous. Capt. Shattuck, 
who had been chosen their principal leader and commander, 
drew up and presented to the Court the following paper:— 
“To the Honorable Justices of the Court of General Sessions of the Peace and 
the Court of Common Pleas for the County of Middlesex. 
“ The voice of the people of this County is that the Court of General Sessions 
of the Peace and Court of Common Pleas, shall not enter this court-house until 
such time as the people shall have a redress of a number of grievances they 
labor under at present, which will be set forth in a petition or remonstrance to the 
next General Court. 
“Concord, September 12th, 1786.” 
Job Shattuck. 
A “ Pacific Committee,” composed of delegates from several 
towns in the county, were then in session in Concord, and a 
consultation took place between the different parties and the 
Court, which resulted, by way of compromise, in entering upon 
the back of this paper the following endorsement:— 
“ i past 3 o’clock. 
“ Since writing the within, it is agreed that the Court of Sessions may open 
and adjourn to the last Tuesday of November next, without going into the court- 
house. Job Shattuck.” 
The Court was accordingly opened and adjourned. Having 
accomplished their object; and stayed the further issue of execu- 
tions by this Court to be levied upon property and to increase the 
general distress, the people returned peaceably to their homes, to 
await the result of their petition to the General Court. Some 
plans were devised to prevent the adjourned session of the Court 
in November, at Cambridge, but they were never executed. 
This act, then, constituted Capt. Shattuck'’s principal, if not his 
only public offence. 
Two months and a half later, on the 28th of November, Oliver 
Prescott of Groton—from what cause does not appear—presented 
a paper to the Governor and Council, certifying that Job Shat- 
tuck, Oliver Parker, and Benjamin Page, of Groton, and Nathan 
Smith and John Kelsey (town clerk) of Shirley, “have been 
active in the late rebellion, and stirring up the people to oppose 
government, and are therefore dangerous persons, and pray a 126

warrant may be issued to restrain them of their personal liberty.” 
In consequence of this communication, an Executive warrant 
for their arrest was issued the same day to Aaron Brown and 
Wm. Scott. For their assistance a volunteer company of horse- 
men, under command of Col. Benjamin Hitchborn, left Boston 
the next day, Nov. 29th, and were joined at Concord by another 
party under Capt. Henry Woods of Pepperell, and proceeded im- 
mediately to Groton. The whole numbered about one hundred 
men. They searched Capt. Shattuck’s house, but did not suc- 
ceed in finding him. They however took Parker and Page, and 
sent them to Boston jail. The search was renewed the next 
morning, but being again unsuccessful they were about to return, 
when twelve men under Sampson Reed of Boston went to the 
house of Samuel Gragg, where it was supposed Capt. Shattuck 
had spent the night, and by threats and the offer of money, as- 
certained that he had been there, but had just left. By tracks in 
a light snow, which had fallen the previous night, he was traced 
about two miles to the river in sight of his own house. Here, 
while hesitating whether to go home, he discovered the twelve 
men on horseback, in full speed, near him. He retreated to the 
river, and they pursued and overtook him. Some resistance hav- 
ing been made, F. C. Yarnum of Boston gave Capt. Shattuck a 
terrible blow with his sword, making a wound about twelve 
inches long, diagonally, across his knee and leg, dividing the 
knee-pan into two parts. His own sword was not arrested 
from his strong muscular grasp until his pursuers had cut the 
fingers of the hand in which it was held nearly off. These acts 
effected his surrender and capture. 
He was taken, delivered to Loammi Baldwin, sheriff of the 
county; and the next day, Dec. 1st, was committed to prison in 
Boston, with Parker and Page. The governor gave directions to 
the jailer “ not to suffer any person to speak to them or to have 
any communication with them, and not to permit them the use 
of pen, ink, or paper, without the special leave of the governor.” 
He continued in jail over four months, during the winter and 
spring; his wounds in the meantime, owing to their severity, to 
bad accommodations and bad attendance, threatened the extinc- 
tion of his life. They made him so lame for the remaining 
thirty-three years of his life as to require the use of crutches to 127 
assist his locomotion. On the 2d of April, 1787, he petitioned 
“ to be admitted to bail,” saying, “ his wounds have never been 
healed, and his bodily health is greatly impaired for want of ex- 
ercise and fresh air; and he is fearful of the consequences, if he 
is not soon liberated.” On the back of this petition the select- 
men of Groton, on the 3d of April, indorsed—“ We have no ob- 
jection to the prayer of the within petition being granted, as we 
believe the public will not be injured thereby.” He was lib- 
erated April 6th, under bonds of £200, with two sureties of £100 
each, for his appearance at Court, and returned to his family in 
Groton. 
JOB SHATTUCK. 
At the term of the Supreme Court, commencing at Concord, 
Tuesday, May 9, 1787, he was indicted for the “ Crime of Trea- 
son.” The Governor had previously instructed the several towns 
to permit the name of no man who had spoken against the gov- 
ernment to be put into the jury box! The consequence was, a 
packed jury was empanneled. On his trial, feeling conscious of 
the integrity of his purpose, and of having committed no intentional 
crime, and certainly not the one charged upon him, he employed 
no counsel himself, and made no defence. The Court, however, 
directed that Christopher Gore and Thomas Dawes, Esqrs., attor- 
neys, should appear in his behalf. He was tried on the 23d of 
May, and convicted, of course, under the circumstances; and his 
offence being by law a capital one, the sentence of death was 
pronounced upon him. He was remanded to the jail in Con- 
cord. Five days later, on the 28th of May, the proceedings of 
the Court were laid before the Governor and Council, and an 
Executive warrant, dated the same day, was issued for his execu- 
tion, to take place “ on Thursday, the twenty-eighth of June 
next, between the hours of twelve and three o’clock” !—In one 
month!! This was one of the last acts of Bowdoin’s adminis- 
tration ; and he seems to have made haste to accomplish it before 
the term of his official life expired, which took place two days 
afterwards. On the 27th of June, Capt. Shattuck was reprieved 
to the 26th of July; on the 25th of July, to the 20th of Septem- 
ber ; and on the 12th of September, he received from Governor 
Hancock an unconditional, “full, free and ample pardon” for all 
his offences. 
Whatever opinion may be entertained as to the conduct of 128 
FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
Capt. Job Shattuck in the movement of 1786, there is no doubt 
that he was moved by conscientious, honest and patriotic mo- 
tives. He was a man of great physical abilities, possessed more 
than usual strength and athletic power, had strong common sense, 
sagacious, energetic business habits, and was highminded and just 
in all his dealings. He was independent in his feelings; relied 
upon himself; and made others feel that they might rely safely 
upon him. Though his educational privileges had been scanty, 
yet he could express his ideas effectively before an assembly of 
his townsmen, and was well qualified to be conspicuous and in- 
fluential as a popular leader. In political principles he was thor- 
oughly democratic. He was also a member of the church, and 
an habitual attendant on religious worship. His offence, so far 
as it was an offence, was a political, not a moral one ; and it was 
not more nullifying, revolutionary, or treasonable, than many 
that are committed with impunity in our own day, and in our 
own State. He felt that the crisis and the occasion justified 
what he did: and he never regretted it himself, but often said he 
looked upon no act of his life with more satisfaction. Honest, 
respectable and patriotic men were on opposite sides on questions 
which then engaged public attention. Each party thought it 
was doing the very best thing it could for the good of the coun- 
try ; but either might have been mistaken in some of its meas- 
ures. Much might have been said at the time and under the 
circumstances in favor of both. A very large majority of the 
citizens of Groton agreed with Capt. Shattuck in opinion, and 
advised to the course he took. He acted as their agent to car- 
ry into effect their wishes, expressed in public town meeting. 
Though more prominent, he was not more guilty than Parker and 
Page who were acquitted, nor than many others who were not ar- 
rested ; but he was convicted under the forms of a legal trial; and 
made a victim to be held up under sentence, by the Executive 
of the State, as a warning to others, until tranquillity should be 
restored. Though his family were apprehensive, owing to the 
highly excited state of public opinion, and the animosity that ex- 
isted between the different parties, that extreme measures might 
be resorted to, yet we can scarcely believe that even Bowdoin 
and his advisers, much less Hancock and his advisers, ever en- 
tertained a serious determination to push them so far as his JOB SHATTUCK.

execution. Capt. Shattuck, however, ever felt that he was 
greatly indebted to Hancock for the preservation of his life. 
The harsh and brutal treatment he received was justly con- 
demned by a large majority of the people; and, combined with 
other causes, produced a great popular excitement. Parties were 
formed of “Bowdoin Men,” and “Opposition;” and a political 
tornado, such as never swept over the Commonwealth, and has 
scarcely any counterpart even in modern party changes, com- 
pletely revolutionized the government. 
In 1786, the whole vote of the State was 8,234; and Bowdoin 
was reelected by 6,001, or 72 per cent, of these votes. In the 
next year, 1787, the whole vote of the State was 24,588, of which 
Bowdoin received 5,395, only, or 21 per cent.! and Hancock, 
the candidate of the “ Opposition,” was elected by 18,459 votes ! 
In the aggregate votes of Groton, Peppered, and Shirley, Bowdoin 
received 30 and Hancock 159 votes! A most emphatic demon- 
stration that public opinion was in condemnation of the policy 
and measures of Bowdoin’s administration, and in favor of the 
party that sympathized with Capt. Shattuck, coincided in his 
views, and approved his doings. The returns to the Legislature 
were equally decisive. Three fourths of the House of Repre- 
sentatives, and two thirds of the Senate and Council were new 
members, and belonged to the Opposition, “some of whom,” 
says Minot, the historian of the Insurrection, “had been thrown 
into prison as dangerous to the Commonwealth, or had fled from 
State warrants into neighboring states, or had presided at county 
conventions, or otherwise manifested their opposition to the rul- 
ing authority.” Dr. Benjamin Morse was chosen a Representa- 
tive from Groton, though eleven individuals—a very small minor- 
ity indeed of the voters—were found in town who entered their 
protest against his election, on account of the prominent part he 
had acted as Chairman of the Committee of Correspondence in the 
Insurrection. Even Capt. Shattuck, himself, at the first public 
town meeting held after his conviction and pardon, was chosen 
the grand-juryman of the town, then an elective officer of honor 
and responsibility. This is an additional evidence that his acts 
were not disapproved by the citizens of Groton; and it was 
highly complimentary to him, especially under the circumstances 
in which it was conferred. 130 
FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
The peculiar crisis in the affairs of Massachusetts which orig- 
inated the movement here referred to, was an extraordinary one 
in the history of the State; and it was not without its influence 
upon the country generally. It impressed upon the people many 
useful lessons. While it taught the hazards and futility of resist- 
ing public law and authority, it taught also the necessity of ad- 
ministering this law and authority wisely for the welfare and hap- 
piness of the people. And that this might be done effectually, it 
taught, furthermore, the necessity of a more efficient national 
government. The State Constitution adopted six years before, 
though excellent in itself, was insufficient for the general protection. 
Public tranquillity was soon, however, restored; and the people 
became more and more contented under returning individual 
prosperity, milder and wiser State measures, a better understand- 
ing of the mutual rights and duties of the governed and the gov- 
ernment, and the adoption, in 1787, one year later, by the several 
United Colonies, of the Federal Constitution.*

patriotic women known in her neighborhood as “Mrs. David

was expected that Leonard Whiting of Hollis, N. H., a noted 
tory, would pass through Pepperell to Groton; and a number of 
noble women, partly clothed in their absent husbands’ apparel, 
and armed with muskets, pitchforks, and such other weapons as 
they could find, collected at the bridge over the Nashua River, 
between these two towns, now known as Jewett’s Bridge. They

and he was immediately arrested and searched ; and despatches 
from Canada to the British in Boston were found in his boots.

107. Simeon Shattuck, s. of David, (p. 103,) was b. in Pep- 
pered, Sept. 12, 1738, and d. in Fitchburg, April 6, 1832, se. 93 
y. 6 m. 24 d. He was bred a farmer, but in consequence of fract- 
uring his leg, by the falling of a tree, he became lame, and after- 
wards learned the shoemaker’s trade, which he followed until the 
year before his death. He first settled in his native town, where 
the births of his six eldest children are recorded. About 1778 he 
went to live with the Shakers under elder Whitaker, at his special SIMEON SHATTUCK DOLLY SHATTUCK.

solicitation ; and a short time afterwards his wife joined the same 
association. But not liking their mode of life she soon left them, 
and not long subsequently Mr. Shattuck followed her example. 
About 1780 he bought a tract of 200 acres of wild land in Fitch- 
burg, on the road now leading from thence to Ashby, where his 
grandson Samuel Shattuck lives. He agreed to pay $400 for it 
in Continental money, then current, being nearly all he was then 
worth. Before taking his deed the money became depreciated in 
value ; and in consequence, the person from whom he purchased 
unjustly refused to give him a deed of more than 100 acres, half 
the amount of his purchase. This, combined with the state of 
affairs at that time, (see p. 123,) was the occasion of great embar- 
rassment and trouble. In the beginning of his new settlement 
he struggled with many privations and difficulties; in the first 
winter, living in a shanty of the most primitive construction, prin- 
cipally upon potatoes and salt. He, however, after awhile suc- 
ceeded in obtaining a comfortable home, and in extending the 
bounds of his possessions. In opinions and habits he sustained a 
character eminently worthy, religious and patriarchal.

1756, and d. at Westport, Me., Jan. 27, 1847, se. 90 y. 1 m. 25 d. 
He was a revolutionary pensioner, and the extraordinary circum- 
stances of his military service are worthy of being stated more in 
detail. In the fall of 1774 he enrolled himself with Abijah Shat- 
tuck, John Shattuck. Oliver Shattuck, David Shattuck, Josiah 
Shattuck, Jeremiah Shattuck, Jr., and others of their connections 
and fellow patriots in Peppered, in a company of “minute men,” 
under Capt. John Nutting, in Col. Prescott’s regiment ; and on 
the 19th of April, 1775, marched to Concord, and followed the 
retreating enemy to Cambridge, where they remained during the 
summer, and were in the battle of Bunker Hill, (p. 141.} He 
was a volunteer in Capt. Wm. Goodrich’s company, under Gen. 
Arnold, in the expedition which left Cambridge, Sept. 13, 1775, 
and went to Quebec by way of the Kennebec river, and through 
the forests of Maine and Canada, suffering intensely from cold, 
fatigue, and hunger. After the unsuccessful termination of that 
expedition he was one of the retreating party under Lieut. Bixby. 
At Beaufort, Canada, he was discharged, and afterwards returned 
to Peppered, where he remained a few months. In Dec., 1776, 
he enlisted in Capt. Holden’s company under Col. Thatcher, and 
served until he was discharged in Aug., 1777. He then enlisted 
as a corporal in Capt. Jewett’s company, Col. Bullard’s regiment, 
and was in the attack on Drummond’s Island in Lake George on 
the 24th of September. While with a party in a boat he was 
severely wounded in his left leg. Several shot holes were made 
in the boat by the firing of the enemy; and to prevent it from 
sinking, notwithstanding his wounds, he stripped off his clothes 
with which he made plugs and stopped the leaks, and thus saved 
the lives of the crew. He was taken prisoner and carried to 
the fort. After remaining four days in the open air, suffering 149 
intensely, his leg was amputated four inches above his knee. In 
November he was removed to St. Johns, in January, 1778, to 
Montreal, and in May to Quebec, where he remained three weeks 
in the hospital. He was then put on board the old prison ship 
Maria, and carried to Halifax. He remained on board this ship 
and in the garrison at Halifax about eighteen weeks; and on the 
8th of October, 1778, was, with 700 other prisoners, exchanged 
for British subjects. They were sent to Boston crowded together 
in a small ship, and suffered very severely from filth and disease. 
About one hundred died before their arrival. He entered a hos- 
pital in Boston, where he remained until Jan., 1779, when he 
was able to return to his home in Peppered. A report had been 
circulated that he was dead; and the joyful surprise that his 
arrival produced can better be conceived than described. Being 
thus disabled for active labor he learned the shoemaker’s trade, 
which he subsequently followed until within six months of his 
death. In 1784 he removed to Squam Island, Me., and, in com- 
pany with his brother Levi, erected the mills already described, 
(p. 146.) He received a pension from government of $60 per 
annum, from 1790 to 1816; of $96, from 1816 to 1832; and of 
$180, from 1832 to his death. 
He m. in Edgecomb, Me., March 16, 1786, Anna Robbins, b.

FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
121. Samuel Shattuck, s. of Samuel, (p. 107,) was b. in 
Deerfield, Sept. 18, 1741, and d. in Portland, Chautauque Co., 
N. Y., Sept. 1, 1827, as. 85 y. 11 m. 13 d. He was a miller and 
farmer, and first settled in Greenfield in his native county. For 
several years before his death he lived with his children, and 
after 1816 with his son Seth. He was a soldier in the French, 
and in the revolutionary war, and was in the battles at Bunker 
Hill, at Bennington, at Yorktown, and at other places. He was 
a pensioner of the United States government, and is stated in the 
printed list of 1835 to be 95 years old, and of Niagara County. 
He m. Chloe Field, who d. of pleurisy in Greenfield, April 
10, 1781, in her 38th year, about four months after the birth of 
her youngest child. She was a twin daughter of Aaron Field 
of Bernardston, whose father Ebenezer Field was slain Oct. 26, 
1708, “ by the enemy a going to Deerfield, near ye Muddy Brook.” 
(Gen. Register, Yol. IX., p. 162.) He was the s. of Samuel, and 
grandson of Zachariah Field, one of the first settlers of Hatfield. 
Aaron Field m. in 1742, Eunice Frary, and had one son and 8

WILLIAM SHATTUCK JOSEPH SHATTUCK. 
successively in Ashfield, Mass., Halifax and Guilford, Vt., Hins- 
dale, N. H., and Dummerston, Yt. From the latter place he 
removed in 1795 to Romulus, Seneca Co., N. Y. While resident 
in Guilford he was Senior Major of a regiment of Militia, of 
which Timothy Church was Colonel and Henry Edwards, Junior 
Major, raised by the state of New York for the protection of her 
rights in the long contested and exciting controversy with New 
Hampshire in relation to the jurisdiction over the territory now 
comprising Vermont. In the civil war that followed they were 
captured by the “New-States men,” under Col. Ethan Allen, 
imprisoned at Bennington, and their property confiscated. In 
March, 1786, an act was passed by the legislature of New York, 
granting Major Shattuck and others a township of land eight miles 
square on Chenango River, (now Bainbridge,) as a remuneration for 
their losses and sufferings. Of this grant 3,200 acres were assigned 
to Mr. Shattuck for his portion. (Doc. Hist, of New York,Vol. IV., 
pp. 1014 to 1018.) As early as 1791 or 2, he obtained from the 
government of Canada West a grant of land, but, not complying 
with the settling duties, it became forfeited. About 1809 or 10 
he petitioned for a renewal of the original title, and while his 
petition was pending he made a tour of exploration through Ohio 
and Kentucky, when he wrote to his family the last letter they 
ever received from him. It is said that he returned to Canada to 
ascertain the result of his petition, and that he was there acci- 
dentally thrown from a horse and killed, in 1810. 
He m. in Montague, Lydia Allis. She was b. Dec. 7, 1751,

126. Doct. Benjamin Shattuck, s. of Stephen, (p. 108,) was

by Jeremiah D. Rogers, son of the clergyman of Littleton, and 
graduated at H. C. in 1765. He studied medicine with Dr. Oliver 
Prescott of Groton, and settled in Templeton at the special invi- 
tation of the people of that town, where he continued in extensive 
practice about twenty-five years; and became one of the most 
eminent of his profession. His industry and frugality secured a 
comfortable provision for his family. 156 
FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
“ His death,” says Thatcher’s American Medical Biography, 
(Yol. II., p. 79,) “was deeply lamented by the whole community 
to which he was known ; but this loss was more poignantly felt 
by his townsmen, the people of Templeton. He had settled 
with them by invitation, had lived in their affection and confi- 
dence for nearly a quarter of a century, and had identified himself 
with their joys and sorrows. At his funeral all classes crowded 
around his bier to pay the last sad and mournful tribute of respect 
to their physician and friend. The pious pastor of the flock 
poured out his heart in an honest eulogy in commemoration of 
his virtues, and spake of the 1 sense, skill, and philanthropy’ of 
their departed physician and friend. This was said in the pres- 
ence of those who knew the deceased, and knew too that the 
words flowed in truth and sincerity ; such praises from the mouth 
of discriminating affection, have a lasting unction in them, and are 
sweet in the remembrance of ages, when the cold stone and the 
proud entablature are defaced or forgotten.” 
He m. April 12, 1772, Lucy Barron, b. in Chelmsford, Dec. 
19, 1753, dau. of Jonathan Barron and Rachel Howard, and a

minster, who d. March 22, 1816, m. 83. She d. in Templeton, 
April 5, 1821, ae. 67 y. 3 m. 16 d. She united with the church 
in Pepperell in 1772, and in 1778 was dismissed to that in Tem- 
pleton,—one of the most noble women of the day, “an honor to 
her husband and a blessing to her children.” *

Middleton, Ct., April 9, 1750. He first settled in North Haven, 
then a part of New Haven, and several of his transactions in real

the latter date he removed to Durham and lived first in the south 
part of the town, and subsequently in its centre, where he carried 
on an extensive business as a cooper, principally for the New 
Haven market, by which he accumulated a handsome property. 
He had large business transactions with a Mr. Spelman, a mer- 
chant of his neighborhood, who failed, and involved Mr. Shat- 
tuck to the amount of his entire property; and he was obliged 
to fail himself. He afterwards, about 1795, removed to Catskill, 
N. Y., where he died previous to 1807; the precise date is un- 
known to us. 
He m. about 1770, Deborah Barnes of North Haven. After 
the death of her husband, she returned to New Haven and lived

cemetery of that city. A monument erected to her memory bears 
the inscription—“ Deborah, widow of Timothy Shattuck. Died 
Dec. 9, 1831, aged 83 years. She possessed a meek and quiet 
spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.” Her father, 
Capt. Joshua Barnes, d. in North Haven, Jan. 7, 1790, se. 69, said 
to have been a descendant of Thomas Barnes, one of the earliest 
settlers of Hartford. Her mother Deborah d. Dec. 20,

to be considered one of the greatest heroines of any age. (See 
Myrick’s Hist. Haverhill, pp. 86, 100.) She m. 2, April 9, 1779,

155. John Shattuck, s. of John, (p. 117,) was born in Pep- 
perell, July 7,1757, and d. in New Ipswich, N. H., Saturday, April 
26, 1816, se. 58 y. 9 m. 19 d. He was a farmer and shoemaker, 
and first settled in 1783, in the northwesterly part of Ashby, near 
his two elder sisters. He brought a portion of the farm, since 
known as the Bedlow farm, under cultivation, and erected on it a 
dwelling-house and other buildings. This dwelling-house was 
burned in 1807. Suffering inconvenience from its remoteness 
from public worship and other town privileges, he sold this 
estate in 1794, and bought another southerly of the present meet- 
ing-house in New Ipswich, N. H., now partly occupied by Mr. 
Willard. This farm was enlarged by subsequent purchases, ad- 
ditional buildings were erected, and other improvements were 
made ; but though it contained some good land, and yielded a com- 
fortable subsistence to its owner, yet it was generally rocky and 
unproductive, and gave a comparatively poor return for the labor 
expended. The same amount of toil and good management 
would have produced on some farms a considerable fortune. He 
and his wife united with Rev. Mr. Farrar’s church in New Ips- 
wich in 1786, and he bore the character of an intelligent, indus- 
trious, honest, upright, Christian man, eminently a peacemaker 
in his family and among his neighbors. He was often known to 
perform the usual day’s work on his farm, and in the evening to 
enter his shop, and earn enough before retiring to rest to pay his 
hired man the next day; and to repeat this labor day after day. 
He was often solicited to take public office in the town, but uni- 
formly declined. Private life was more congenial to his unob- 
trusive, amiable, and excellent temperament. 172

174. Job Shattuck, s. of Job, (p. 131,) was b. in Groton, Dec. 
10, 1758, and d. upon the old homestead, May 4, 1827, ee. 68 y. 
4 m. 24 d., by a “decay of nature,” brought on by excessive 
labor, and over-exertion of body and mind to accumulate prop- 
erty. When he entered the Continental Army in 1780, (p. 122,) 
he was described as “21 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, and dark 
complexion.” About 1790 he came into possession of a large 
part of the real estate of his father, on condition that he should 
support his parents during life, and pay a specific sum in money 
to each of his brothers and sisters. These conditions were subse- 
quently altered, and in 1791 he received a full title to a portion 
of the estate, and instead of the bond he relinquished the farm 
known as the “William Green Place,” since owned by his brother 
Noah. On the 2d March, 1812, he bought of the town of Groton 
the estate bequeathed by Josiah Sartell, Esq.,# for “the support 
of the Gospel Minister,” on condition that he should maintain the

poor of the town for five years, the whole expense of which was 
estimated at $4,000 or $800 per annum. This contract was ex- 
ecuted between April 13, 1812, and 1817, and proved to be a 
good one for Mr. Shattuck. This estate was the subject of a 
long controversy, first between the inhabitants of the town, and 
subsequently in the Supreme Court. The heirs of Col. Sartell 
brought an action of ejectment against Samson Shattuck, to 
whom the estate was conveyed by his father in 1821. The case 
was assumed by the town, and finally resulted in its favor; and 
it was the occasion of settling important legal questions having a 
general bearing upon parochial affairs. (See Pickering’s Reports, 
Yol. X., p. 306.) By his sagacity, energy, untiring industry, and 
perseverance, Mr. Shattuck added farm after farm to his posses- 
sions, until he became the largest owner of real estate, and paid 
the highest tax, of any person in Groton. His lands consisted of 
more than 1200 acres, bordering on Nashua River, and extending 
easterly between three and four miles to Baddacook Pond. He 
was able to give a good farm to each of his nine surviving chil- 
dren at their marriage. The old homestead was settled upon 
Warren and Merrick, which, after the death of their father, was 
divided. Warren took the central portion, and Merrick the out- 
lands, which were divided into lots and sold in 1829. The old 
place, after being owned by the name more than 125 years, thus 
passed from the family. Mr. Shattuck, towards the close of his 
life, regretted most deeply, that, instead of larboring so earnestly 
to lay up wealth for his children, he had not educated them more 
thoroughly, and taught them how to earn and take care of prop- 
erty themselves; and thus impress upon them a character for 
self-reliance, which would be more likely to secure success in 
life. “ A family properly educated is a family provided for.”

* The names given to these children, geographically speaking, are rather comprehensive. 
The parents certainly could not be accused of being partial or “ sectional” in their feelings, for 
they took in the whole world. But the taste of persons in regard to names differs ; and in look- 
ing over this volume a great diversity will be perceived. In some families a plain outspoken 
taste appears, and in others a more fanciful one. Some would not have selected Shadrach, 
Me shack, and Abednego; others would object to Sobieskie; and others to Serepta Syneda. 
Singularity of taste, however, is not peculiar to our family. We once had under our instruction 
in Detroit a family whose sons were named One Stickney, Two Stickney, Three Stickney; and 
whose daughters were named First Stickney, Second Stickney, and so on. How far on, either 
in the cardinal or ordinal enumeration, the parents finally arrived we have never learned. The 
three elder children of a family nearer home were named Joseph, And, and Another ; and it has 
been supposed, that, should they have had any more, they might have named them Also, More- 
over, Nevertheless, and Notwithstanding. Another family actually named their child Finis, sup- 
posing it was their last, but they happened afterwards to have a daughter and two sons, whom 
they called Addenda, Appendix, and Supplement. Another parent set out to perpetuate the names 
of the twelve patriarchs, but the mother wept because she nad not the wherewithal to bear the 
last two names. The familiar example of Mr. New, who named his first child Something, and 
his second Nothing, stated a fact which might have been true at the birth of each, but not after- 
wards. Mr. Chase of Boston named his child Wild Goose, but whether its pursuits finally re- 
sulted as the name imports, we are uninformed. These eccentric and amusing illustrations 
might be greatly extended, but these specimens will suffice our present purpose, and show that 
singularity of taste in this matter is not confined to our family. 198

farmer. He was one of fifty-three men, who, on the 7th of Sep- 
tember, 1773, fell at the raising of the old meeting-house in 
Wilton, N. H. Three were killed instantly, two more died 
soon after, others were crippled for life, and most of them were 
more or less injured. Mr. Shattuck received a wound in his 202

head, and had three of his ribs broken. Rev. Mr. Peabody, in 
his Centennial Address, dedvered in that town, says—“Among 
other things, which might in part account for the accident was, 
the town voted to provide one barrel of West India rum, five bar- 
rels of New England rum, one barrel of brown sugar, half a box 
of good lemons, and two loaves of loaf sugar, for framing and 
raising the meeting-house”! Temperance does not seem to have 
been considered then, as it is now, and should always be, one of 
the necessities for the preservation of life, and for success in life. 
It is not strange that intemperance should prevail when it was 
thus sanctioned by public and private example ; nor that disaster 
should happen, and thousands of lives should be sacrificed or 
ruined thereby.

great-grandchildren, and 2 of the fifth generation. The aggre- 
gate ages of the 58 children and grandchildren was 2026 years, 
or about 35 each. She could say, “Arise, daughter, and go to 
thy daughter, for thy daughter’s daughter hath a daughter.”

8. Jonathan Benjamin, b. Jan. 11, 1821; d. March 20, 1831, se. 10 y. 2 m. 9 d. 
293. Dr. George Cheyne Shattuck, s. of Dr. Benjamin Shat- 
tuck, (p. 157,) was b. in Templeton, July 17, 1783 ; and d. of a dis- 
ease of the heart, at his residence in Boston, corner of Cambridge 
and Stamford streets, March 18,1854, se. 70 y. 8 m. 1 d.,—eminent 
for his professional skill, and for his munificent public and pri- 
vate charities. 
He was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1S03; and received 
from that institution, in due course, the degree of Master of Arts, 
and in 1806 that of Doctor of Medicine. He also received a 
medical degree from Harvard College, and one from the Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania in 1807. Immediately after, he settled in 
Boston, where he soon obtained an extensive practice in his pro- 
fession. In 1853 the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was 
conferred upon him by Dartmouth College. 
Public office was distasteful to Dr. Shattuck, yet he was chosen 
one of the consulting physicians of the city of Boston at the first 
creation of the office in 1833, and was reelected annually until 
his death. He was president of the Massachusetts Medical So- GEORGE CHEYNE SHATTUCK. 
245 
ciety four years—1836 to 1839 inclusive; and he presided over 
the American Statistical Association six years—1845 to 1S51. 
In 1806 he wrote a Dissertation on Mortification; and, in 1807, 
two other Dissertations, one on the Structure and Pathology of 
the Skin, and the other on Biliary Concretions. Each of these 
dissertations obtained one of the Boylston Medical Prizes, and 
aided much in establishing his reputation as a scholar and a 
learned physician. In 1808 they were published together in a 
volume. In 1828 he delivered the Annual Address before the 
Massachusetts Medical Society, which was published in their 
Transactions. These were his most important printed works. 
He did not aspire to authorship, yet he was willing to encourage 
others in their literary labors. In 1836 he published at his own 
expense a volume of original medical dissertations by distin- 
guished physicians, and gave a copy to each member of the Mas- 
sachusetts Medical Society. And in various other ways he was 
a most liberal patron of literature and science. The following 
extracts from an interesting letter of Ira Young, Professor of 
Natural Philosophy and Astronomy in Dartmouth College, dated 
July 13, 1854, relate to his benefactions to that institution :— 
“ His contributions to the College in various ways have been 
frequent, and very liberal, amounting in the aggregate to a sum 
probably not less than $12,000. On the subscription list of 1827 
for raising $50,000, his name stands against $500, and in the en- 
deavor in 1842 to raise $30,000, he gave $500 more. 
“In 1835-6 he presented the portraits of the defenders of the 
College Charter,—Hon. Jeremiah Mason, Jeremiah Smith, Daniel 
Webster, and Joseph Hopkinson; and a few days before his 
decease, added that of the Hon. Rufus Choate. These portraits 
are all by distinguished artists, and are conspicuous ornaments to 
our College Library. 
“ His donations of books to the Library have been numerous, 
and many of them highly valuable. In addition to occasional 
presents of single volumes, and the writings of such men as John 
Adams and Daniel Webster, he gave in 1822, (in connection with 
Stephen Beane, Esq.,) several volumes of Foreign, Mathematical, 
and Astronomical works, including some of the more important 
writings of Euler, Lagrange, Lacroix, Lalande, and Laplace. 
In 1852 and 1853 he gave for the purchase of books, to be used 246 
SIXTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
by the officers of the College, the sum of $2,050, of which 
$1,200 was for the department of Natural Philosophy and Astron- 
omy, and $850 for that of the Latin Language and Literature. 
This donation was in connection with a similar one from the 
Rev. Roswell Shurtleff, D. D., of $1,100 for the department of 
Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, and Political Economy. In 
addition to this, he also contributed $100 for the payment of 
books previously purchased for the Library, in Europe. 
“ In the autumn of 1852 he made the munificent donation of 
$7,000, on the condition that the Trustees of the College would 
furnish the additional means of fully carrying out the objects 
which he proposed, requiring, according to estimate, an expendi- 
ture of about $11,000. These were, the erection of an Astro- 
nomical Observatory, the furnishing it with the requisite instru- 
ments, the purchase of additional Philosophical Apparatus, and 
the sending an agent to Europe to procure the books and instru- 
ments above mentioned. 
“ Of the Observatory, he is the founder, inasmuch as the 
$7,000 just covers the estimated expense of the building and 
instruments, excepting the Equatorial Telescope, with its ap- 
purtenances, which had been previously purchased. Although 
he peremptorily refused to have it named the Shattuck Observa- 
tory, still, as may be seen by one of the accompanying resolu- 
tions of the Trustees, his name will be permanently associated 
with the building, its instruments, and, I may add, with its 
Library.* 
“ It is worthy of remark, that all the above donations, with 
the exception of the two subscriptions of $>500 each, were unso- 
* All of these donations were duly acknowledged in the Proceedings of the Trustees. The 
following is a copy of their Resolves, passed Dec. 23, 1852, relating to the donation for the 
Observatory:— 
“ Resolved, That the Board of Trustees receive with profound gratitude the donation of Dr. 
George C. Shattuck of Boston, of seven thousand dollars, for the purpose of erecting an Observ- 
atory and the purchase of Instruments; and also a donation of one thousand dollars, in addition 
to his previous donation, for the purchase of books for the Library; and that they tender to him 
their warmest acknowledgments for this renewed evidence of his devotion to the interests of 
science, and of his attachment to his Alma Mater. 
“ Resolved, That a suitable tablet be placed in a conspicuous part of the Observatory, with an 
inscription which shall show by whose bounty it was erected, and serve as a public record of the 
munificence of the distinguished donor; and that his name be inscribed upon any instruments 
that may be purchased with the balance of his donation. 
“ Resolved, That the Trustees hereby engage fully to carry out the objects of the donations as 
specified in the letter of the Hon. John Aiken to President Lord, and the Letters of Professor 
Young to Dr. Shattuck :—That the Prudential Committee make such preparation as may be 
necessary for the erection of the Observatory as directed by Dr. Shattuck ; and that Professor

licited by the College, being the spontaneous offerings of the mu- 
nificent donor.” 
His donations to Harvard College at different times were over 
$26,000. In 1844 he gave $100 for the purchase of the Mineral 
Cabinet; in 1846 and 1851, $200 to the Observatory; in 1847, 
$500 for the New Medical College; in 1S53, $500 for Professor 
Agassiz’ Collection; and other sums at other times. In 1853 he 
gave seven shares in the Stark Mills in Manchester, N. H., and 
seven shares in the Atlantic Mills in Lawrence, both together 
valued at $14,000, the income of which is to be appropriated for 
the support of a Professor of Pathological Anatomy in the Medi- 
cal Department of the College. And in his will he bequeathed 
to the Trustees of the College twenty shares in the Cocheco 
Manufacturing Company, valued at over $10,000, “for the ben- 
efit of such persons of superior merit, pursuing their studies at 
said College (graduates or undergraduates,) as in their opinion 
may require and deserve assistance in the study of Mathematics 
or any of its branches, or in the study of Languages, or either of 
them.” This bequest has been set apart by the Trustees to 
constitute four Scholarships, and denominated “ Shattuck Schol- 
arships.” * 
To aid the Boston Athenseum in placing it upon its present 
foundation he paid at different times $5,500. The cost of the 
shares in that institution is $300 each. He subscribed for one 
share for himself, and for four shares which he presented to other 
persons. Jan. 17, 1854, he gave five shares to the town of Little- 
ton, and five to the town of Templeton, in token of his remem- 
brance of the birth-places of his father and himself. These 
shares are to be forever held in trust for the following purposes:— 
“ That the selectmen of said two towns respectively, and their 
successors for the time being, shall permit the use of their five 
shares respectively, from year to year, by any one five persons 
resident in said towns respectively, to be selected by them from 
the classes of clergymen, physicians, lawyers, teachers, and sci- 
entific farmers and mechanics, it being understood that the said 
shares themselves are to be forever inalienable.” In addition to 
the cost of the shares, he anticipated the annual assessment of

$5 on each share by the payment in advance of an additional 
$1,000, thus securing the permanent right to each of those shares 
to take books from the library. Dr. Shattuck had previously 
offered to found a library in each of these towns, provided a fire- 
proof building for its accommodation should be erected. This 
not meeting with the ready concurrence of the inhabitants, the 
alternative above described was adopted. 
In his will he bequeathed one share of the Cocheco stock, or 
over $500, to each of the following eleven objects, amounting in 
the aggregate to more than $5,500:—Howard Benevolent So- 
ciety ; Boston Female Asylum ; Boston Asylum and Farm School; 
Boston Children’s Friend Society; American Board of Commis- 
sioners for Foreign Missions ; Benevolent Fraternity of Churches; 
American Education Society; American Statistical Association; 
American Academy of Arts and Sciences; West Boston Religious 
Society; and the Roman Catholic Bishop of Boston. The last 
item is expressed to be “ in token of my sense of the great in- 
justice done by the unindemnified destruction of the Ursuline 
Convent at Charlestown, a charitable institution, which was de- 
voted to objects of benevolence and the cause of education.” 
He also bequeathed the income of his other manufacturing stocks 
for three years, in equal shares, to the three following societies, 
supposed to be worth to them more than $30,000, or $10,000 
each:—One third to the Massachusetts Medical Society; one 
third to the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association; and 
one third to the Massachusetts Agricultural Society. These are 
specimens of his more public charities. Very many other insti- 
tutions were also the recipients of his bounty in his life-time. 
From a brief Memoir of Dr. Shattuck by Dr. Edward Jarvis of 
Dorchester, once a student in his office, read before the American 
Statistical Association, and published in their Transactions, we 
make the following extracts as illustrations of his character:— 
11 He commenced the active practice of his profession in Bos- 
ton in 1807. He immediately gained acquaintances, and these 
soon became friends. He was early admitted to the confidence 
of many families, and was employed by a circle of warm sup- 
porters. These multiplied year after year, until, at an earlier 
period than usually falls to the lot of even the favored, he 
found himself on the high tide of professional success. He was GEORGE CHEYNE SHATTUCK. 
249 
then established in full employment, and was among the most 
extensive and laborious practitioners of medicine in Boston. 
Being incessantly called upon, he gave all his powers of body 
and mind to the visitation and care of the sick; and through 
every season, by day and by night, he was at the service of the 
world, of every class and grade of society,—among the favored 
of fortune, among the cultivated and the high-minded, among 
the beloved of many friends, among the poor, the destitute, even 
among the abandoned and dissolute, those who had none to love 
them, and whose worst enemies were their own selves,—among 
all these he went about doing good, healing their diseases, ad- 
ministering comfort, and relieving want where that existed. 
“Dr. Shattuck was a very popular physician in this city, and 
had an extensive reputation in the country. Yery many sought 
his advice from other and distant towns, and his success in the 
management of disease sustained the good name which drew 
so many to him. He was a student of books, when he had 
leisure to attend to them. He had large opportunities of ob- 
serving the phenomena of the disordered system. He did not, 
however, aim at the highest scholarship in the science of his 
calling, nor at the most thoroughly disciplined exactness in his 
investigations of morbid symptoms; but he had a rare tact and 
great knowledge of mankind, and seemed to see through difficul- 
ties and arrive at his conclusions by shorter processes than most 
men are accustomed to use. Having quick perceptions, he looked 
at once to the end. His conclusions, therefore, were rather the 
results of a sort of intuition than the cautiously drawn deductions 
of reason. 
“ Beside his professional knowledge and success, which se- 
cured the confidence of his employers in his management of 
disease, there was such an affectionate kindness of manner, so 
much gravity and wisdom in his conversation, such a rare sin- 
cerity of speech, and he manifested so much interest in the per- 
sons with whom he had intercourse, that he won the strong 
attachment of those who put themselves under his care; and 
when they had trusted him once, they desired to confide in him 
more and more, and to lean upon him again and again. 
“ Dr. Shattuck was'ever giving, and giving liberally and dis- 
creetly. He was no mere lavish and careless giver. He gave 250 
SIXTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
to do good, and always, if possible, a greater and more per- 
manent good than the mere temporary supply of a want. He 
would not minister to extravagance or folly. He would not en- 
courage idleness. He offered no bounty to impracticable objects 
or unsuitable plans of life. But he was remarkable for the fitness 
and utility of his gifts. 
“He sought no publicity in his charities; the private channels 
and objects of generosity were more agreeable to his taste. He 
loved most to aid men to eke out their means—to add a little 
more power to complete an almost accomplished but staggering 
purpose. To those who honestly and faithfully put forth all 
their energies to do a good and suitable work, which was a little 
beyond their strength or means, he was a friend at hand just at 
the time when they began to need, and when, without such a 
coadjutor as he was, they might have faltered and perhaps failed. 
He was more pleased in dispensing his means in this way than 
in any other. Thus the aged minister, who had saved more souls 
than money, and whose friends had gone down to the grave be- 
fore him—the scantily sustained but industrious waiter on pro- 
fessional success—the struggling, industrious student in college— 
the straitened widow, the poor laborer, the wood-sawyer, whose 
earnings and capital would not enable him to replace his broken 
or exhausted tools—all these, and such as these, everywhere 
within his wide range, were subjects of his observation and re- 
cipients of his aid, in private ways, and oftentimes in ways so 
secret as to elude all search for the source of the blessings which 
had been received.” Many mechanics have stated to us that 
it had been their good fortune to work for many liberal-minded 
men, but of all such men Dr. Shattuck was the most liberal. 
“ One anecdote will illustrate the manner of giving which 
pleased him most. While I was a student in his office, on the 
1st of January, Mr. K., his tailor, called with his bill. Dr. Shat- 
tuck was out, and I was alone in the office. As I was well ac- 
quainted with Mr. K., he showed me the Doctor’s bill, which, he 
said, he did not feel at liberty to show to or speak of to others. 
There was a bill against Dr. Shattuck for clothing received 
within a single year, of over four hundred dollars ! Dr. Shattuck 
dressed economically. It was impossible that the clothing of 
himself and his son, could cost more than a fraction of this bill. GEORGE CHEYNE SHATTUCK. 
Mr. K. explained. He said that every little while there came 
men, gentlemen, laborers, children, into his store, with an order 
from Dr. Shattuck, almost always in these words: ‘ Please give 
this man a coat, or vest, or pair of pantaloons, or greatcoat, cloak, 
or a suit of clothes suited to his condition.’ The last phrase was 
the only condition prescribed; and Mr. K. gave such clothing as 
the man’s occupation, station and age seemed to require. In this 
way Mr. K. said that his clothing bill amounted to about four 
hundred dollars every year, and had for a long time. 
“ Many invalids, of every class, were in the habit of calling on 
Dr. Shattuck for professional advice, especially in cases of chronic 
disease. Among these were frequently the students of theology, 
at Andover and Cambridge, and young men in college, men in 
apparently straitened circumstances, and poor women with their 
children. He very kindly heard all their tales of suffering, gave 
his advice for their self-management, and then wrote a prescrip- 
tion for medicine ; all the while surveying his patients’ outer 
man as carefully as he had inquired into their inner man. After 
writing the prescription, he wrote a note and sealed and directed 
it to his tailor, and then he very courteously said: ‘Now, sir, will 
you he good enough to carry this prescription to the apothecary, 
134 Washington street, and while they are putting up the medi- 
cine, will you do me the favor to carry this note to Mr. K., No. 
5, Congress street ?’ There was no fee to be paid for his profes- 
sional advice. The grateful patient, wishing to make some return 
for the good physician’s kindness, gladly consented to carry the 
note as he wished. When they delivered the note to Mr. K., in 
Congress street, they learned to their surprise, that, instead of 
diminishing their debt of gratitude, they increased it by so doing ; 
for they were to receive clothing in addition to healing, from the 
hands of Dr. Shattuck, and without cost to themselves.” A gen- 
tleman who had been a student in his office, being attacked with 
a disease which was likely to terminate fatally, was advised by 
his physician to return to his friends in the country, live gener- 
ously, and take wine occasionally as a stimulant. Not long after- 
wards a messenger called at his residence and left a quarter-cask 
of the best old Madeira wine, but declined to give the name of 
the person from whom it was sent. It was not, however, diffi- 
cult to identify the generous benefactor as Dr. Shattuck. 252 
The North American Review (Jan., 1855, p. 33,) selects Dr. 
Shattuck as the type among physicians of a “Finished Life”— 
“ A life,” says the writer, “ so filled with useful and generous 
deeds, with such devotedness to his profession, which he held 
more and more in honor, and to all the best interests of man and 
society, that it is a comfort and a privilege to be permitted to 
dwell upon it in our recollections.” 
SIXTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
As further illustrations we make the following extracts from a 
Discourse on the occasion of his death, by Rev. C. A. Bartol, 
preached in the West Boston Church, where he worshipped, and 
where he was a communicant:— 
“ He began his career, as perhaps it is best every young man 
should, having nothing in particular to trust to but his own talent 
and fidelity, with, as he said, ‘ the healthy stimulus of prospective 
wantand waiting quietly for his first patients, attending slowly 
to case after case, he laid silently, stone by stone, the foundation 
of his fame. Every truly noble building rests on just such a 
basis of deep and secret diligence ; and, as a great merchant once 
said, that the making of the first thousand dollars cost him more 
perplexity than all the rest of his immense fortune, so it is with 
the first achievement, by manifest, undeniable, and unmistakable 
power of all professional success.”—“Extraordinarily distinguished 
for insight into the soul as well as body; reading character as he 
did health and disease ; leaping through obstructions to his point, 
with an electric spark of genius that was in him ; clothing his 
conclusions sometimes with a poetic color, and sometimes with 
the garb of a quaint phraseology; employing now a pithy prov- 
erb, and now a cautious and tender circumlocution, to utter what 
could scarce have been otherwise conveyed, in a method of con- 
versation, which in its straight lines, or through all its windings, 
I never found otherwise than very instructive,—an intuitive sa- 
gacity and perfect originality marked all his sayings and doings. 
He could never be confounded with any other man. Borrowing 
neither ideas nor expressions, he was always himself. Yet there 
was nothing cynical or recluse or egotistical about him. I never 
heard him boast himself or despise another. He had a large and 
warm heart, with room in it for many persons and all humanity. 
Though he was so peculiar, much of his heart was the common 
heart, as the most lofty mountains have in them most of the GEORGE CHEYNE SHATTUCK. 
253 
common earth. He had this precious singularity, that he never 
seemed to belong to any one class or little social circle, but to 
stand well and beneficently related to all. While not a few are 
absorbed in some single relation, he observed and acted well in 
the multitude of his relations to his fellow-men. He was re- 
markable for his broad look and observance of all the interests, 
material or moral, mechanical or spiritual, of the world, and was 
equally at home in a question of finance or an enterprise of re- 
ligion. I know not where, in any individual, to look for a larger 
amount of sterling treasure.” 
He was a firm believer in the Christian religion. He loved 
the church and reverenced its pastors. And in dying he threw 
himself humbly upon the mercy of God, who had so long blessed 
him, and upon Christ, through whom he hoped to obtain immor- 
tal life. As a Christian he was catholic, in the enlarged and lib- 
eral sense of the term. He belonged to no one sect or denomi- 
nation of Christians. He extended his sympathy and hand of 
friendship to all the faithful preachers of the Gospel. “ I regard 
ministers,” he said, “not of one name, but of all.” Once being 
examined under oath, as to some records he might have made, he 
said that, “by the grace of God, the name of a minister was never 
entered with a charge upon his books” ! “ But a reverence for 
the Most High was in him distinct from all other principles. 
His will towards men was strong. But he seemed to have no 
will towards God. His will vanished before the Supreme; and 
he would have none but the First and All-presiding, and seemed 
to think there was none beside. As a physician, he looked not 
to his medicines alone but to God, for success, and prayed before 
he prescribed. So it was with him, with ever-increasing interest to 
the last. ‘ Pray with me,’ was commonly his first salutation as I 
entered his sick chamber. £ I want your prayers : they are a 
great comfort and consolation to me.’ £ Pray not for my recov- 
ery.’ £I am going to God.’ £I wish, in your prayer, to go as a 
sinner.’—And, at the last, having spoken his love to those most 
closely related to him, just before he went, £ Time, Eternity, 
Eternity, Eternity,’ were his expiring words; knowing, as he re- 
tained possession of his mind, that he was just stepping over that 
mysterious causeway, hid from mortal eyes, the sight of which 
no fleshly vision could bear, which separates one from another.” 254

6. George W., b. Jan. 19, 1833; clerk for Armington & Pomeroy. 
309. Jared Shattuck, only s. of Timothy, (p. 160,) was b. in 
New Haven, now North Haven, Ct., April 27, 1773, and d. in 
Meadville, the county seat of Crawford Co., Pa., July 16, 1837, 
ae. 64 y. 2 m. 19 d. He first entered the store of Mr. Spelman in 
Durham (p. 160) as an apprentice and clerk, and after that gen- 
tleman’s failure, and when about fifteen years of age, he went to 
Philadelphia, and soon after to St. Thomas, one of the West 
India Islands, where he became a successful merchant and ship 
owner. 
On the 13th of May, 1800, one of his ships, called the Mer- 
cator, with a cargo, bound from St. Thomas to Jacmel and Port 
Republican, was captured while endeavoring to enter Jacmel, by 
the United States armed vessel of war, called the Experiment, 
William Maley, commander; and under direction of a prize mas- 
ter was ordered to Cape Francois. Before arrival she was cap- 
tured as a prize on the high seas by the British private armed vessel 
of war, the General Simcoe, sent to Jamaica, and there con- 
demned by the Court of Admiralty, on the 28th of June follow- 
ing. Mr. Shattuck brought an action against Maley in the dis- 
trict court of Pennsylvania, for the recovery of the damages he 
had sustained. It is stated in the detailed report of the case, 
(3 Cranch’s Reports, 458,) that Mr. Shattuck “ was born in the 
state of Connecticut in the year 1774, and when he was between 
fifteen and sixteen years of age, viz., about the end of 1789 or 262 
SIXTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
beginning of 1790, he emigrated to the island of St. Thomas, 
one of the dominions of the king of Denmark and Norway, with 
a view to settle and establish his permanent residence in that 
island; that he served his apprenticeship there with a mercan- 
tile house for about six years, and from his first arrival has con- 
stantly and permanently, and now continues to reside there ; 
that on the 10th of April, 1797, he became a naturalized Danish 
subject and burgher of said island, and shortly afterwards inter- 
married with an inhabitant of that place, by whom he has sev- 
eral children, all living in that island; and that he did acquire, and 
now holds real estate there, and is there permanently settled and 
established, and carries on the trade and business of a merchant.” 
Upon these facts the District Judge decided the case against Mr. 
Shattuck. From this decree he appealed to the circuit court of 
the United States, and this court reversed the decree of the dis- 
trict court, and decided that he was entitled to restitution, with 
damages and costs. The case was remitted to the district court 
for further proceeding, when the clerk, with the assistance of 
two merchants, audited the claim, and returned an estimate of 
the value of the Mercator and cargo, and the damage sustained 
by Mr. Shattuck, amounting to $41,658 67. It was carried to 
the supreme court of the United States, where it was decreed in 
his favor on the 8th of March, 1806. Chief Justice Marshall 
delivered the opinion of the court. The final award, however, 
amounted to $25,017 44 only. This claim, even as awarded by 
the court, was not immediately settled; and in 1810 Mr. Shat- 
tuck returned to the United States, and brought the subject be- 
fore Congress ; and after three years more delay an act was passed 
on the 2d of February, 1813, authorizing the payment to him 
of $33,864 55, as the principal and interest then estimated to 
be due. (United States Statutes, Little & Brown’s edition, Vol. 
YI., p. 116.) 
The wife and family of Mr. Shattuck, in the mean time, re- 
sided in New Haven; and preferring that city to the place of her 
nativity, they continued there a few years afterwards. During this 
period he purchased of the Holland Land Company over 50,000 
acres of land in Western Pennsylvania, and in 1817 removed to 
Meadville, where he subsequently resided as a merchant and a 
dealer in lands. He was elected auditor for the county, and held JARED SHATTUCK.

SIXTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
351. Giebert Shattuck, s. of David, (p. 165,) was b. in 
Colchester, Ct., Feb. 1, 1793. He learned the carpenter’s trade 
in Hebron, Ct., and in 1816 removed with his elder brother to 
Middlebury, N. Y. In ISIS he bought a farm in Avon, Liv- 
ingston Co., where he lived until 1831, when he removed to 
Ypsilanti, Washtenaw Co., Mich., where he resided upon a farm 
until 1845. He then settled in the adjoining town of Ann Arbor, 
where he now resides, and keeps a boot and shoe store. In 1835 
he was a delegate to the convention to form the constitution of 
the new state of Michigan ; in 1844 was a representative in the 
legislature; and in 1845 and 1846 was sheritf of the county of 
Washtenaw.

1849, David Wooster, M. D., b. June 10, 1825, and a graduate of the 
Cleveland, Ohio, Medical College. In 1850 he went to California; and now 
lives near Maysvillc, as a physician, farmer, and miner. 
352. Rev. Artemas Shattuck, s. of David, (p. 165,) was b. in 
Colchester, Ct., March 10, 1795, and was first a farmer with his 
brothers in Middlebury, N. Y. He was naturally a man of the 
most remarkable energy and perseverance. While here, an ex- 
traordinary event occurred which subdued his energy, and affected 
the whole subsequent history of his life. A correspondent re- 
marks, in communicating the following facts, “You can judge 
whether there was any Shattuck blood in him.” 
While he was cutting some forest trees one fell upon a high stump, 
and became entangled with other trees. In endeavoring to cut, 
disengage, and bring it to the ground, it suddenly fell, and the 
trunk upon which he stood split, and his foot was caught in the 
cleft. As it fell over the stump he was raised several feet from 
the ground and suspended with his head downwards; and in 
such a position that he could not touch the ground, nor get upon 
the top of the trunk of the tree for support. His axe in the mean 
time had fallen, and was not within his reach ; he was thus with- 
out means to extricate himself. In this condition he cried for ARTEMAS SHATTUCK. 
help, but cried in vain, until his voice failed him and he could 
cry no longer. He soon began to suffer extreme pain, not only 
in his foot, which remained clenched in the cleft of the tree, but 
also from headache and general exhaustion, caused by his unnat- 
ural position and the great exertion he had put forth to make 
himself heard and to obtain relief. He was in the woods, three 
fourths of a mile from any human being, and the weather was 
extremely cold. What was he to do ? Unless he could be im- 
mediately extricated death seemed inevitable. There appeared 
no alternative. Summoning all his fortitude he resolved upon 
an act, which if he should succeed in performing there would 
be a feeble hope, and only a feeble one, of saving his life. He 
might perish if he did it, he must if he did it not. He took from 
his pocket an old Barlow knife, and first cut off the leg of his 
boot and stocking, and with a piece of quality which he had in 
his vest pocket he bound his ankle as tightly as possible, to stop 
the current of blood. Then, with his knife, he unjointed his 
own ankle, and left his foot cut and separated from his leg in 
the cleft of the tree ! By the trunk of the tree he reached the 
ground, and crawled to his dinner-basket, and bound up the 
stump with a napkin. He cut a stick and hobbled or crawled 
upon his hands and knees through the snow towards home. 
When he had arrived within a few rods of his house he was dis- 
covered by his family ; and, exhausted and fainting, was brought 
to his room and resuscitated. A surgeon was obtained from 
Batavia, a distance of fifteen or eighteen miles, by whom his 
limb was again amputated, and in due time he recovered. Three 
of his brothers, Josiah, Gilbert, and Giles, were with him during 
his illness.* 
Mr. Shattuck afterwards turned his attention to study; emi- 
grated to North Carolina in 1819; joined the Baptist church in 
* Some account of this event, unassociated with any name, was published in the Presbyterian 
newspaper of Philadelphia, in the winter of 1350-51, under the title of “ A curious fact.” This fact 
was stated to be, that when Mr. Shattuck “became conscious, he said, ‘ Go immediately to the 
woods and cut out my foot, for it is suffering- most excruciating pain/ They did so, and 
brought the foot to the house. He then said it was cold, and wished it put into warm water. 
This request was also granted. It was not, however, done in the room in which he lay, yet as 
soon as the foot touched the water he exclaimed, ‘ it burns me—the water is too hot/ And upon 
examination it was found to be so. The water was then made cooler, and he was satisfied.” 
We have great doubts as to the authenticity of this statement, or of the correctness of its philoso- 
phy. We have read considerably in medical literature, and have conversed with many 
scientific surgeons on the subject; and have yet to learn a well-authenticated case in which 
an application to an amputated limb has sensibly affected the living individual from whom it 
was taken. 288 
SIXTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN. 
1820, and commenced preaching in 1821. We have not a full 
account of his subsequent history. In the Baptist Register for 
1835 his name appears as minister of the Friendship and Mechan- 
ic’s Hill Church in Moore Co., N. C. It is said “he lived in a 
very poor county, and worked for a very poor living on poor 
land.” In 1842-3 he removed to Carrollton, Miss., upon the 
invitation of his brother, who gave him a farm, from which he 
made one good crop; but losing his wife and youngest child he 
sold his place, and started on his return to North Carolina. 
Meeting with some Baptist friends in Georgia he accepted their 
invitation to a pastoral charge. 
He m. 1, in 1824, in Moore Co., N. C., “a most amiable and 
industrious wife,” by whom he had a son Alvin, b. in 1826. 
He had also another son, b. in Carrollton in 1843. She and her 
youngest son d. in Carrollton in the fall and winter of 1843-4. 
It is said that he married again, and that he and his son now 
reside in Georgia, but we have been unable to obtain their history 
or location. The American Baptist Register for 1852 gives the 
names of “A. Shadock” (probably Shattuck) as pastor of the 
“Eight Mile Creek” Church in Mobile, Alabama; and of “A. P. 
Shattuck,” pastor at Villanow, Walker Co., Geo. They may be 
the father and son abovementioned, though we have been unable 
to obtain answers to letters of inquiry on the subject.

289 
In 1825 he was stationed at Black River in the Neuse District, in 
connection with the Virginia Conference, residing principally in 
Dupin County, N. C. In 1829 he removed to Brownsville, 
Haywood Co., Tenn., and in 1833 to Carrollton, Carroll Co., 
Miss. He was Judge of the District or Circuit Court of the 
Second District of Mississippi four years, 1837 to 1841, and dur- 
ing the same time was presiding elder of the extensive district of 
Greene, in the Methodist Church. In 1841 he was the whig 
candidate for governor of Mississippi, but belonging to the politi- 
cal party then in the minority in that State, he failed of an 
election. In 1843 he was elected professor of law of the Cen- 
tenary College in Jackson, Louisiana, and from 1845 to 1849 
was president of that institution. In 1845 he had the honorary 
degree of LL. D. conferred upon him by the Wesleyan University 
of Middletown, Ct. In 1849 he resigned his office as president 
of the Centenary College, and emigrated to California with three 
of his sons; and the remainder of his family followed him in 
1852. In the fall of 1850 he was elected one of the judges of 
the Superior Court of San Francisco, but resigned in 1851, and 
became a farmer in Sonoma. In 1853 he reopened a lawyer’s, 
office in San Francisco, where he still resides. In 1854 he was; 
reelected judge of the Superior Court, which office he now holds.. 
A correspondent with great propriety remarks, that “ the few sta- 
tions he filled prospered under his administration, and he retired, 
from all regretted by the people. He never sought office. He 
never had any other ambition to gratify than a strong and ardent 
desire to be useful to his countrymen. He practised law to sup- 
port his family—he preached to do good, without being burden- 
some—he succeeded in both these professions beyond his. expecta- 
tions at first, but in doing good he did not equal his desires.”'

1842, ae. 53 y. 11 m. 18 d. He was interred in the cemetery at 
Nashua, N. H. He and his wife united with the church, Feb. 2, 
1812, and he was ever active and influential in the various be- 
nevolent and religious movements of the day.* 
* A funeral sermon was preached on the occasion of his death by Rev. Mr. Bitmap, the pastor of 
the Appleton Street Church, where he worshipped, from which we make the following extract 
“ Mr. Abel Shattuck was born in Ashby, June 14, 1788, but was removed to New Ipswich in 
childhood, where his early life was spent. There, in 1812, he became a subject of renewing 
grace and publicly professed his faith in Christ. He immediately assumed the responsibilities 
of an active Christian, and was among the first to engage in labors of the Sabbath School in 
our country. He was ardent, courageous and persevering in his Master’s work, and never 
seemed to lose sight of the great object for which the Christian lives. 
“ In 1826 he removed to Lowell, then a little village almost destitute of religious privileges, 
and was one of a little band to establish prayer meetings, and to commence that holy system of 
effort which has resulted in the salvation and glory of so many thousands. In the formation cf 
the first church he was one; and when that was filled to overflowing he was one of the colony 
to form this church. While his health permitted he was one of its active and devoted members. 
He was always an attentive hearer of the word ; and the great truths of the gospel kindled living 
fire in his soul. He was habitually spiritually minded, and his soul seemed always to sympathize 
with words of the Holy Ghost. To him they were spirit and they were life. Like other men 
he was subject to the errors and infirmities of our nature; but he had a tender conscience, and 
easily melted into penitence when he was sensible of aberration. He was far from viewing 
himself as a perfect man, or from being puffed up with self-complacency. He expected to be 
saved as a lost sinner, and was ever ready to extol that grace by which the guilty could, be 
pardoned, and sanctified, and saved. God manifest in the flesh was his salvation and his joy, 
and the history of redeeming grace was his delightful theme. His soul seemed ready to unite 
in the son"' of Heaven : ‘ Unto him that loved us and washed us in his own blood be glory 
forever.’ °Our departed brother was always deeply interested for the church. Though for a 
lon«- time he has not been permitted to unite with us in our social devotions or public solemni- 
ties” he has never forgotten his covenant with God and with his brethren. In the many inter- 
views which I have Bad with him, he has expressed deep solicitude and warm attachment. 
Zion was engraved on his heart, and some of his last expressions were in our behalf. He was 
faithful unto ileath, and forsook not his brethren until his Lord called him away. Let his name 
be engraven on our hearts until we meet him again.” 300

376. Col. Daniel Shattuck, s. of John, (p. 172,) was b. in 
Ashby, July 10, 1790, and for the last forty-nine years has re- 
sided in Concord. It was a favorite wish of his father and him- 
self, that he should receive a public education, and be quali- 
fied for professional life ; and in his early youth he went through, 
at the New Ipswich Academy, the studies preparatory to his ad- 
mission to college. Circumstances, however, transpired, which 
led to a relinquishment of their original design. In 1806 he left 
home, and entered the store of Messrs. J. and J. H. Davis in 
Concord, as an apprentice and clerk, and continued there six 
years. In 1812 he purchased, entirely on credit, in company 
with Bela Hemmenway, the stock and stand of Dea. John White, 
who had long been a trader in that town, and commenced busi- 
ness for himself, under the firm of Hemmenway &, Shattuck. 
Mr. Hemmenway died Jan. 17, 1816, and Mr. Shattuck after- 
wards conducted his business either alone, or in company with 
Dea. White, or his brother, under the style of Daniel Shattuck & DANIEL SHATTUCK.

Co., until 1844, when he retired from its active management. 
By his integrity, sagacity, and strict attention to business he has 
been distinguished for his success as a merchant, and for his skill 
as a financier. Although in politics a uniform and consistent 
whig, and belonging to the party generally in the minority in 
the town and county, he has been considered one of the leading 
citizens, and has often been selected to execute various important 
public trusts. He was a representative in the legislature in 1831, 
and a member of the senate in 1834 and 1836, and has held a com- 
mission of justice of the peace. He was chosen treasurer of the 
Middlesex Agricultural Society in 1821, and many subsequent 
years, and was afterwards three times elected its president. He 
has been a director or president, and the principal business man- 
ager, of the Middlesex Mutual Fire Insurance Company, from its 
first foundation in 1826; and during his administration has in- 
troduced several improvements in the general regulations of 
such institutions. He has been president of the Concord Bank

He was chairman of the committee for the erection of the Con- 
cord Monument, to commemorate the events of the 19th of April, 
1775, and was the author of the inscription on its tablet. These 
are some of the public stations he has held. His motto of life

SEVENTH GENERATION AND DESCENDANTS. 
377. Lemuel Shattuck, s. of John, (p. 172,) was b. in 
Ashby, Oct. 15, 1793 ; removed with his parents, before complet- 
ing his first year, to New Ipswich, N. H., and resided there and 
in the adjoining towns during his minority and until 1815, as a 
farmer, manufacturer, and school teacher. In 1817 he resided in 
Troy and Albany, New York, and in 1818 to 1822 in Detroit, 
Michigan, as a teacher; in 1823 to 1833, in Concord, Mas- 
sachusetts, as a merchant; in 1834 in Cambridge, as a book- 
seller; and since 1834, in Boston, as a publisher and bookseller, 
until his retirement from a regular business. He never had the 
benefit of much public instruction. The common school in the 
district to which his father belonged was at a considerable dis- 
tance from his dwelling-house, and was generally very imperfect- 
ly taught, and continued only a part of the year. He seldom 
attended more than five or six weeks in one season. The chief 
educational privileges which he enjoyed in his youth, were in 
the school of mutual instruction, composed of his elder brothers 
and his sisters, kept in intervals of leisure in an industrious and a 
laborious early life-time, in his father’s own household. Two 
quarters in the academy completed his public education. What- 
ever knowledge he has possessed besides has been acquired al- 
most entirely in his private study, by his own unaided efforts, at 
such times as could be spared from active labor and business, or 
from sleep. And he has great satisfaction in stating as the result 
of his own experience, that any person, by having a judicious 
plan for saving the odd moments of life and appropriating them 
to reading good books or the acquisition of useful information, 
may obtain a large fund of knowledge, which will be a qualifica- 
tion for greater usefulness in any station, and be the source of 
great gratification and happiness in more mature and declining 
life. 
If he was to allude to the events of his life some reader might 
perhaps consider it as savoring too much of egotism, which is as 
distasteful to him as it can be to any one else ; and yet there may 
be many of his kindred with whom he is not personally ac- LEMUEL SHATTUCK.

quainted, who may desire to know something more of the author 
of these Memorials than the mere mention of his existence and 
connections. And since his name has been intimately associated 
with several printed works, and with some measures of general 
interest, he hopes to be justified if he should briefly refer, for this 
purpose, in these Family Memorials, to a few only of those 
which have attracted the most public attention. Several other 
works, the production of his pen, and some measures which he 
originated, or with which he has been connected, less publicly 
known, will be passed unnoticed. 
Besides other offices to which he has been chosen, he was a 
member of the City Council of Boston for 1837, and the five sub- 
sequent years, until he declined a reelection. He has held a com- 
mission of a justice of the peace, and has been several years a 
representative from Boston in the State Legislature. In 1830 he 
was chosen a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 
and about the same time a member of the American Antiquarian 
Society; and he was one of the original founders both of the 
American Statistical Association and of the New England His- 
toric-Genealogical Society. He has also been a member of 
various literary, benevolent, and other associations. In all the 
public positions in which he has been placed, he has never 
shrunk from the performance of any labor that seemed to be 
required, with or without emolument; and he never hesitated to 
propose new measures, or a modification of old ones, if in his 
judgment, after being maturely examined, they promised to be 
of utility. In carrying these measures into execution he has 
often been a laborer for the public, and sometimes to the sacrifice, 
perhaps to too great an extent, of his own personal interest. He 
has often sowed the seed, cultivated the field, and reared the 
fruit for others to harvest. He has been willing to do good for 
the sake of doing good ; and if others appropriated his labors to 
themselves, and any honor or profit that might be attached to 
them, he has seldom complained. He would never stoop to 
intrigue for, or solicit office, how well soever he might he quali- 
fied for it by natural endowment, or educational capability, or how 
much soever it might be merited by personal services already 
rendered. In this respect he has differed from many others. He 
has looked with great disapprobation, and not without apprehen- 304

sion for the future welfare of our country, upon the corrupt 
practices by which unworthy men and unworthy measures have 
often been pushed by unworthy means into public favor. 
In 1818, he organized at Detroit the first Sabbath School ever 
opened in Michigan; and superintended it during the .four sub- 
sequent years of his residence in that city. He afterwards organ- 
ized and superintended for many years a similar school in Concord. 
. While a member of the School Committee in Concord he re- 
organized the public schools in that town, introduced a new sys- 
tem for the division of the public school-money, and prepared 
and printed a new code of school regulations. One of these reg- 
ulations required that school registers, prepared under such forms 
as he prescribed, should be furnished to the teachers at the com- 
mencement, to be returned at the end of each successive school 
term; and another, that the committee should make written reports 
annually to the town concerning the schools; and in 1830 he pre- 
pared, presented, and published their first report. These meas- 
ures were original with him ; and, so far as his knowledge ex- 
tends, this was the first Annual School Report of that description 
ever presented in a public town meeting in Massachusetts. Be- 
fore that time it had not been considered one of the duties of 
such committees to make a report of their doings concerning the 
matters entrusted to them. A similar regulation was subsequently 
introduced in Cambridge, Northborough, and other places ; and it 
operated so well that at his suggestion, while a member of the 
Legislature, the law of April 13, 1838, requiring its adoption 
throughout the State, was passed. And it may with perfect 
confidence be said, that no measure, aside from the establishment 
of the Board of Education itself, has done so much for the im- 
provement of the public schools of the State. 
In preparing some articles relating to the important historical 
incidents for which Concord is celebrated, for the newspaper then 
published in that town, he met with so much matter, not only of 
local but of general interest and value, that he conceived the idea 
of preparing a separate work on the subject. And this idea was 
matured in his publication, entitled— 
“ A History of the Town of Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, from 
its earliest settlement to 1832; and of the adjoining Towns, Bedford, Acton, Lin- 
coln, and Carlisle; containing various notices of County and State History not 
before published. Boston : Russell, Odiorne & Co., 1835. 8vo. pp. 400.” 305 
This work was one of the pioneer histories of its class ; and in 
plan and execution had some original features.* It was prepared 
in hours snatched from active business and from sleep, during the 
last four years of the author’s residence in Concord. 
While making the investigation necessary for the preparation 
of this volume he became acquainted with the condition of the 
public records in many towns, and learned to his regret that the 
registration of births, marriages and deaths, was generally neg- 
lected ; and that comparatively few public or private registers 
of the kind were made. "Viewing it as a matter of general in- 
terest and importance, he called public attention to the subject 
by communications in the newspapers; and in 1841 published a 
work under the title :— 
“ A Complete System of Family Registration. Part First, containing charts, 
forms, and directions for registering, on a new and simple plan, the birth, mar- 
riage, and death of the several members of the family, and for ascertaining and 
exhibiting their connections, relative situation, heirs at law, ancestors, descend- 
ants, and generation. Part Second, containing forms and suggestions for regis- 
tering other particulars, proper or useful to be retained in remembrance, relative 
to any member of a family.” 4to. 
After several editions of this work had been published the ster- 
eotype plates were destroyed by fire. Another work, upon a 
new and more simple plan, has been prepared, and will soon ap- 
pear, under the following double title:— 
“ Blank Book Forms for Family Registers, devised and constructed upon a 
new, simple, and comprehensive Plan, and designed for genera] Use in every 
Family; including Suggestions and Directions for an improved System of Family 
Registration.” 4to. 
The page following this general title contains another title, 
partly blank, for a specific family, to be filled out by the name of 
the one who may use it for its own records, thus expressed :— 
“ The Family Register of the Ancestors, Connections, and Descendants of 
, first compiled and arranged by , and continued by .” 
The registration laws of the State were first brought under the 
consideration of the Legislature at the request of Mr. Shattuck, 
and resulted in the passage of the act of March 3, 1842. He 
furnished some of the materials for the First and Second Reports 
LEMUEL SHATTUCK. 
* William Lincoln, Esq. in his History of Worcester, says, “The general plan of arrangement 
has been imitated from Mr. Shattuck’s History of Concord. It would have been greatly desira- 
ble that the excellency of this model could have been more generally copied." A favorable 
review of the work appeared in the North American Review for April, 1836, and in other 
periodicals. 306 
SEVENTH GENERATION AND DESCENDANTS. 
under this act. The Fourth Report, on a new plan, was pre- 
pared entirely by him; and the Appendix contained some gen- 
eral views on the subject, also published in a separate form, 
entitled:— 
“ Letter to the Secretary of State on the Registration of Births, Marriages, and 
Deaths in Massachusetts.” 8vo. pp. 42. 
While a member of the Legislature in 1849, a revision of the 
laws was made agreeably to his recommendations as chairman of 
a committee, in his report, entitled :— 
“Report of the Joint Special Committee of the Legislature of Massachusetts, 
appointed to consider the expediency of modifying the Laws relating to the Reg- 
istration of Births, Marriages, and Deaths, presented March 3, 1849.” pp. 58. 
House Document, No. 65. 
At the special request of the Secretary of State he designed 
and prepared the blanks to carry this new law into execution, 
and wrote the pamphlet entitled :— 
“ Instructions of the Secretary of State to Town and City Clerks, Registrars, 
and others, relating to the Registration of Births, Marriages, and Deaths, em- 
bracing the Laws of the Commonwealth on the subject.” 8vo. pp. 32. 
The plan of the Reports made under these new regulations was 
devised by him, though the execution of this plan, having been 
intrusted to others, has not beeu entirely such as he desired. He 
also originated the plan, and drew the ordinance, which was 
passed by the city of Boston, for carrying the laws into operation 
in that city, and for creating the office of City Registrar. 
The system of public registration here described, though it at 
first met with some opposition, has since become generally popu- 
lar, and is now considered a necessity. Similar systems have 
more recently been introduced into other States, and are likely 
to become general throughout the whole Union. If faithfully 
carried out, henceforward the rights of property will be more 
securely guarded, the natural history and laws of human life will 
become more generally known, and genealogists and biographers 
will have a more easy and sure pathway to the information they 
may desire. 
In 1837 he devised the plan for arranging, printing, and pre- 
serving the “ Documents of the City of Boston, printed by order 
of the several Departments of the City Government,” which was 
begun in 1838, and has since been continued in one or more an- 
nual volumes upon the same plan. And he then introduced a LEMUEL SHATTUCK. 
307 
resolution, which was passed, providing for exchanging such doc- 
uments for those of other cities, intending that they should form 
a nucleus for the commencement of a city library. At the same 
time he collected and caused to be bound a few sets of such doc- 
uments as could be found of the four previous years, which had 
been printed without system, and left to chance for their preser- 
vation. He also prepared a “Municipal Register, containing the 
Rules and Orders of the City Council, recent Ordinances and 
Laws, and a List of the Municipal Officers of the City of Boston 
for 1841.” This was the first publication of its kind, and has 
since been continued annually, under the same general title, and 
upon a similar plan. He also obtained the passage of the Resolve 
by the State Legislature of April 25, 1838, providing for interna- 
tional exchanges of State documents and publications, for those 
of other states and governments. In 1849, as a member of the 
Legislative Library Committee, he wrote the Report, (House 
Document, No. 71,) recommending a modification of the plan for 
enlarging and managing the State Library. 
During his connection with the city government of Boston he 
labored with others to reduce the public debt, and to secure an 
economical administration of its affairs; and the condition of the 
finances in 1842 and the three following years, as compared with 
the then previous and the now existing debts, will show with 
what results. When the great question of introducing water into 
the city was discussed, honestly believing that the specific meas- 
ure then proposed for the acceptance of the citizens would not 
be expedient, he wrote, at the request of others, two pamphlets in 
opposition to it. The first was entitled :— 
“ Letter from Lemuel Shattuck, in answer to Interrogatories of J. Preston, in 
relation to the Introduction of Water into the City of Boston Boston: Samuel 
N. Dickinson, Printer, 1845.” 8vo. pp. 40. 
The second, which appeared anonymously, was entitled :— 
“ How shall we vote on the Water Act ?” 8vo. pp. 24. 
These pamphlets were extensively circulated among the peo- 
ple, and the defeat of the measure was attributed mainly to their 
influence. Another act, less objectionable, was afterwards passed 
and accepted by the city, without opposition. 
Among various other matters which received his careful ex- 
amination while connected with the city government, were the 308

then existing Bills of Mortality. The result of this examination 
appeared in his publication, entitled:— 
“ The Vital Statistics of Boston, containing an Abstract of the Bills of Mortality 
for the last twenty-nine years, and a General View of the Population and Health 
of the City at other periods of its History. Philadelphia: Lea & Blanchard.” 8vo. 
pp. 36. Extracted from the American Journal of Medical Sciences for April, 1841. 
In 1845 he was employed to superintend the taking of the 
census of Boston ; and he then originated and introduced, for the 
first time in this country, a new plan for the enumeration—that 
of taking the name and description of every person enumerated ; 
and among other characteristics specifying the birthplace of each, 
and thus distinguishing the native from the foreign population. 
The elementary facts thus obtained were afterwards abstracted 
in a variety of statistical tables and statements, giving much 
new information of value which had not and could not be ob- 
tained under the old method of taking a census before in use. 
The result of his labors appeared in a volume entitled :— 
“ Report to the Committee of the City Council, appointed to obtain the Census 
of Boston for the year 1845, embracing Collateral Facts and Statistical Research- 
es, illustrating the History and Condition of the People, and their Means of Prog- 
ress and Prosperity. Boston: John H. Eastburn, City Printer, 1846.” 8vo. pp. 
280, with Maps and Plates. 
This report has been highly commended; and it served as a 
model for similar reports in Charleston, S. C., New Orleans, and 
other cities. 
As Chairman of the Legislative Committee he wrote their report, 
recommending for the State census a modification of the plan 
followed in Boston, entitled :— 
“Report on the Subject of the State Census of 1850, by the Special Committee 
of the Legislature of Massachusetts, presented April 7, 1849.” 8vo. pp. 46. 
House Document, No. 127. 
In November, 1849, he was invited by the Census Board at 
Washington to visit that city, to assist in preparing the plan for 
the National Census of 1850 ; and the first, second, third, fifth, and 
sixth (five of the six) blank schedules used in that census, with 
the accompanying instructions, were designed and prepared prin- 
cipally by him. The act of Congress, also, relating to the cen- 
sus, was passed, with a few modifications, substantially as he 
drew it.* 
* See Compendium of the Seventh Census of the United States, for 1850, p. 13. The plan 
for taking- the census of the States of New York and Massachusetts for 1855, has been copied 
substantially from that he prepared for the National Census of 1850. LEMUEL SHATTUCK.

In 1849 he wrote the Report of the Committee to whom was 
referred the Memorials of the Massachusetts Medical Society, 
relating to a Sanitary Survey of the State, (House Document, 
No. 66,) and, during the same year, he was appointed by the 
Governor and Council, Chairman of the Commissioners under a 
Resolve of the Legislature, passed by the recommendation of this 
Committee. This appointment was entirely unsolicited and un- 
expected, and was not accepted without doubt and hesitation. 
At the request of his associates on the commission, he collected 
the materials for their report, and it was designed and written 
entirely by him. It appeared in a volume, entitled :— 
“ Report of a General Plan for the Promotion of Public and Personal Health, 
devised, prepared, and recommended by the Commissioners appointed under a 
Resolve of the Legislature of Massachusetts, relating to a Sanitary Survey of the 
State, presented April 25, 1850. Boston: Dutton & Wentworth, State Printers, 
1850.” 8vo. pp. 544. Maps and Plates.* 
A copy of this volume was distributed to each town clerk’s 
office, and most of the public libraries in the State. The Ap- 
* From a printed legislative report, (House Document, No. 212. for 1852,) recommending 
the payment of the expenses of this Commission, we make the following extracts relating to the 
value of this work :— 
“ The report of the Commissioners has been noticed in many of the leading periodical publi- 
cations, ana we infer that no document ever emanated from the State that has been more gen- 
erally commended. The following extracts from some of the most important medical reviews 
in other States indicate the opinions of those who have read the work and are competent to 
judge of its merits :— 
“The book before us, although under the uninviting title of a ‘ report/ is yet, in truth, an 
epitome of sanitary science. * * * We will not say the duty of the Commission has been well 
discharged3 this would be far too feeble praise; for, although expecting much, the report far 
exceeds our expectations. * * * We doubt if there has appeared any work for many a year 
in our country that is of more real interest to the community than this, whether we regard it as 
replete with suggestions for the promotion of personal health, or as a great political document 
intended to show the mode whereby the physical and intellectual powers of a people may be 
fully developed. Its being the first of the kind ever published in this country, imparts to it an 
interest of more than ordinary notice; its being the best of the kind ever published, adds greatly 
to this interest and to the reputation of the author, and we feel assured that the objects aimed 
at must ultimately be attained when so presented.”—N. Y. Journal of Medicine, March. 1851. 
“ This report is the result of that enlarged policy which characterizes the action of the legis- 
latures of some of our older States, and which we hope soon to see infused among the western 
legislatures upon the subject, particularly of public health. * * * It is the fullest document yet 
issued on this side the Atlantic on the subject of sanitary regulations; it is worthy of the noble 
State from which it emanated, and the Commission has cause to congratulate itself upon the 
manner its duties have been performed.”—Western Lancet, Cincinnati, March, 1851. 
“ We have thus given, at considerable length, the substance of this able and valuable report. 
After all that has been done by the people and governments of some countries of Europe, and 
after all that has been done by individuals and societies in America, this report is the first ap- 
proach to legislation from any government in this country. * * * We commend this report 
with all its plans and details, its facts and arguments, to the careful consideration of physicians 
and philanthropists, of political economists and legislators, with the confident belief that the 
condition of man will be improved and the interests of humanity advanced, as well as public 
and private wealth increased, by its adoption.”—American Journal of Medical Sciences, April, 
1851. 
A commendatory review of the report is contained in the London “British and Foreign 
Medico-Chirurgical Review” for January, 1852, the leading quarterly medical review of the 
world. 
Reviews, commending this work, appeared also in other medical journals, and in the North 
American Review. Christian Examiner, New Englander, and in various other periodical publi- 
cations and newspapers. 310 
SEVENTH GENERATION AND DESCENDANTS. 
pendix to this Report contains various illustrations of its most 
important principles, and among others three papers relating 
respectively to Lawrence, Attleborough, and Lynn, embracing 
an historical view of the population, sanitary condition, and sta- 
tistics of those places, and their means of health, wealth, and pros- 
perity. They were designed to show the manner in which such 
reports might be made concerning every town in the Common- 
wealth. Each of these papers was published in a separate pam- 
phlet, and extensively circulated in those towns, under the fol- 
lowing titles :— 
1. “ Sanitary Survey of the Town of Lawrence. By the Chairman of the 
Commissioners appointed under a Resolve of the Legislature of Massachusetts 
relating to a Sanitary Survey of the State. Reprinted from the Report of the 
Commissioners.” 8vo. pp. 24. Maps and Plates. 
2. “ Sanitary Survey of the Town of Attleborough. By the Chairman of the 
Commissioners,” &c. 8vo. pp. 32. 
3. “ Annual Report of the Board of Health of Lynn. By the Chairman of the 
Commissioners,” &c. 8vo. pp. 30. 
It may be proper to give the titles of two of his other works, 
which have been useful in the respective places for which they 
were designed. One is entitled :— 
“ The Domestic Book Keeper and Practical Economist: Suggesting how to 
live independently, and how to be independent while we live: Containing Di- 
rections and Forms for a newr method of keeping an account of the receipts and 
expenditures of Individuals and Families. Designed for those who are willing to 
know how they live, and who desire to live better. Boston: 1843.” Small 4to. 
pp. 36, besides blank forms. 
The other is entitled : — 
“ The Scholar’s Daily Journal, containing simple Forms for recording each 
day’s Lessons, and for exhibiting, at one view, the Attendance, Character, and 
Intellectual Progress, during each Month: embracing Introductory Suggestions 
and Rules of Behavior for Good Scholars, designed for Public Schools, Acade- 
mies, Colleges, and Home Instruction. Boston: Published by Lemuel Shattuck. 
1843.” Small 4to, pp. 12, besides forms for records, &c. 
These comprise a part of his publications. All which have 
borne his name, or which purport to be written by him, have 
been wholly his own works, and he alone has been their author. 
None were written by others and assumed by himself as his own. 
He might specify more particularly the circumstances under 
which they appeared, and some of their most important contents ; 
but this would be inconsistent with his present purpose. They 
must be left to speak for themselves. He might also go into LEMUEL SHATTUCK. 
311 
further details concerning the history of his somewhat changea- 
ble and eventful life—his successes and his failures, his straggles 
and his achievements; and exhibit some of the incidents and 
causes which have been influential in making him what he has 
been, and in placing him in the different positions which he has 
occupied. Many of these incidents have been topics of interest 
in the home circle, and among his immediate connections and 
friends, and might perhaps be so to his other kindred \ but if 
further publicity is given to them, it would be more congenial to 
his feelings that it should be done through some other medium 
than in this volume. He has no disposition to make himself too 
conspicuous even here. Lessons of usefulness might be derived 
from the history of almost every life, how humble soever it may 
have been; and in the proper place and at the proper time they 
should be imparted for the benefit and improvement of others. If 
any one should consider what is here presented as egotistical and 
offensive to good taste, let him pass these pages unread. He 
trusts, however, that no such one will be found among his kin- 
dred. They will probably agree with him in believing that the 
author of these Memorials is as well qualified as any one else to 
speak of his own labors, and will approve of this brief sketch 
which he has written concerning some passages of his own his- 
tory. He might have said more, but, in justice to himself, he 
could scarcely have said less. 
The matters here noticed came under his consideration inci- 
dentally, amid other occupations; and he endeavored to give 
them, as he endeavors to give all matters intrusted to him, the 
thought and study which they seemed to require for their full 
comprehension, and to ascertain their utility in practical life. 
And he has great satisfaction in knowing that the results of the 
few measures he has proposed, so far as they have been tested by 
experiment, have already equalled his original expectations. They 
relate to the health, education, elevation, progress, and history of 
man; and though they may not seem to the superficial observer to 
be of great importance, nor to have had the temporary popularity 
of some measures inflated into undue importance often by dem- 
agogues for political purposes, yet their permanent good effects 
will be apparent years hence, when others shall have been for- 
gotten. 312

and was described as “ a man of good reputebut for reasons presently to be 
stated, he was excommunicated. He left a will, dated April 6, 1689, which 
appoints his wife Hannah executrix, and directs that his sons Samuel and Retire 
should each have a double portion of his estate; and that the remainder should 
be divided equally between his six daughters. His estate was not settled and 
distributed until Nov. 1, 1701. His son Retire, and his daughters Return and

he sold his real estate in Salem to Samuel and Mighill Bacon, and probably re- 
moved from the town, since his name is not afterwards found. In him the name 
of Shattuck in this line appears to have become extinct. 
Fourth Generation. 
Samuel Shattuck, senior, son of widow Damaris Shattuck, above mentioned, 
was one of those who suffered persecution for “ being called a Quaker.” The 
circumstances relating to his connection with this extraordinary persecution are 
detailed in Besse’s “ Collection of the Sufferings of the People called Quakers,” 
Vol. II., pp. 184 to 198; in “Bishop’s New England Judged;” in Fox’s Journal, 
and elsewhere; and they are so intimately connected with tire history of that SAMUEL SHATTUCK. 
period that they deserve preservation in this connection. Some allowance should 
perhaps be made for the partisan character of these authors; hut their statements 
may be considered reliable and true, in the main, since they are confirmed by 
other coexisting official documents. 
Several orders in relation to the Quakers were passed by the General Court of 
Massachusetts, between July 11, 1656, and Oct. 14, 1657, < ne of which enacted 
that any person who embraced their sentiments, or harbored those that did, should 
be liable to fine, imprisonment, or other punishment. Under these laws Law- 
rence South wick and his wife Cassandra, then members of the church in Salem, 
were imprisoned for entertaining Christopher Holder and John Copeland, sup- 
posed to be Quakers. Lawrence was soon discharged, but his wife was detained 
seven weeks, and fined forty shillings for “ owning a paper of exhortation,” writ- 
ten by Holder or Copeland. Soon after this happened Holder attempted to speak 
on a certain occasion, at the close of public worship; but he was, says the ac- 
count, “ pulled backward by the hair of his head, and had a glove and handker- 
chief thrust into his mouth, and so was turned out, and, with his companion, car- 
ried to Boston next day, where each of them received thirty stripes with a knotted 
whip of three cords, the executioner measuring his ground and fetching his 
strobes with all his strength, which so cruelly did cut their flesh that a woman' at 
the sight of it fell down dead.” They afterwards suffered other punishment. 
Samuel Shattuck, above described, as “ an inhabitant of Salem of good repute,” 
was present at the meeting when Holder attempted to speak; and he “ endeav- 
ored to prevent their thrusting the handkerchief into Holder’s mouth lest it should 
have choked him; for which attempt he also was carried to Boston and imprisoned 
till he had given bond to answer it at the next court, and not to come to any 
Quaker meeting.” 
In 1658, while attending a meeting at the house of Nicholas Phelps, about five 
miles from Salem, Samuel Shattuck, with Lawrence Southwick and his wife, 
Josiah their son, Samuel Gaskin, and Joshua Buffum, were apprehended by “one 
Butterand after being kept confined in a house two days, were taken before 
the magistrates, when the following examination took place, as reported by 
Besse. “ One of the prisoners asked, ‘ How they might know a Quaker ?’ 
Simon Bradstreet, one of the magistrates, answered, ‘ Thou art one of them for 
coming in with thy hat on.’ They replied, ‘It was a horrible thing to make such 
cruel laws, to whip, cut off ears, and bore through the tongue, for not putting off 
the hat.’ Then one of them said, ‘ That the Quakers held forth blasphemies at 
their meetings.’ To which they replied, ‘They desire that they would make such 
a thing appear, if it were so, that they might be convinced;’ and that ‘ they 
would do well to send some to their meetings, that they might hear and give 
account of what was done and spoken there, and not conclude of anything they 
knew not.’ But, said Major-General Dennison, ‘ If ye meet together and say 
anything, we may conclude that ye speak blasphemy.’ ” The result of this ex- 
amination was that they were sent to Boston. After being in close confinement 
three weeks they addressed a letter to the magistrates at Salem, dated “ From 
the house of bondage in Boston, wherein we are made captives by the wills of 
men, although made free by the Son of God. John viii. 36. In which we 
quietly rest this 16th of the fifth month, 1658.” This able and appropriate letter 
is printed in full in Besse, Yol. II., pp. 177, 178; and in Bishop, pp. 74, 75. It 364

resulted in the release of Shattuck and Buffum. It appears, however, from an 
original document in the handwriting of Shattuck, that he was in prison with 
Nicholas Phelp3, three months afterwards. It runs thus:— 
“ This to ye Gen1 Court and to y« Magestrates and Deputys there assembled.

“ Written from the prison in Ipswich this 19th 8 mo 1658.” 
What action was taken upon this reasonable petition does not appear. On the 
11th of May, 1659, the petitioners were taken before the Court with Lawrence, 
Cassandra, and Josiah Southwick, and Joshua Buffum, before mentioned, when 
the following trial took place, as described by Besse, Vol. II., pp. 197, 198.* 
“ They asked the Governor [Endicot] ‘ what it was they required of them, 
whether the honor of God or themselves?’ He answered, ‘They who honor 
those whom God sets over them honor God.’ They replied, ‘ It was true, but in 
obedience to the law they sufferedand farther asked, ‘ Whether it were for 
that fault they were committed to prison, before the law had a being, and were 
banished, or what was it.’ But the court answered them not. One of them de- 
sired the governor ‘ That he would be pleased to declare before the people the

following is a copy of the petition :—

favour of you that she may have liberty to goe along with her brother Samuel Shaddak to the

real and true causes of the proceedings against them.’ lie answered, ‘ It was for 
contemning authority in not coming to the ordinances of God.’ He also added, 
that ‘ They had rebelled against the authority of the country in not departing ac- 
cording to their order.’ They answered, ‘ They had no place to go to, but had 
their wives, children, families and estates to look after ; nor had they done any- 
thing worthy of death, banishment, or bonds, or any of the things for which they 
had suffered, though they had taken from them above one hundred pounds for 
meeting together.’ Major General Dennison replied, that 1 They stood against 
the authority of the country in not submitting to their laws: that lie should not 
go about to speak much concerning the error of their judgment;’ but, added he, 
‘ You and we are not able well to live together, and at present the power is in 
our hands, and therefore the hardest must fend off.’ After this they were put 
forth awhile, and being called in again, the sentence of banishment was pro- 
nounced against them, and but a fortnight’s time allowed for them to depart, on 
pain of death, nor would they grant them any longer time, though desired. 
Samuel Shattuck, Nicholas Phelps, and Josiali Southwick, were obliged to take 
an opportunity that presented four days after, to pass to England by Barbadoes. 
The aged couple, Lawrence and Cassandra, went to Shelter Island, where shortly 
after they died within three days of each other. Joshua Buffum departed to 
Rhode Island.” The power of attorney given by Shattuck to his wife to trans- 
act his business during his absence, is dated May 19, 1659, and is recorded in 
the Essex Registry of Deeds. 
After Shattuck’s arrival in England he immediately laid the subject of their 
sufferings before King Charles II.; and by the assistance of Edward Burroughs 
he obtained, on the 19th September, 1661, a “mandamus,” commanding the mag- 
istrates and ministers in New England “to forbear to proceed any farther” 
against the people called Quakers. Shattuck was appointed the King’s Deputy 
to carry this mandamus to New England. An agreement was made with Ralph 
Goldsmith, a master of a good ship, for £300, for his conveyance. “ He imme- 
diately prepared for the voyage,” says Besse, “ and in about six weeks arrived in 
Boston harbor, on a first day of the week. The townsmen seeing a ship with 
English colors, soon came on board, and asked for the captain. Goldsmith told 
them he was the commander. They asked him whether he had any letters. 
He answered yes ; but withal told them he would not deliver them that day. 
So they returned on shore again, and reported that there were many Quakers 
come, and that Samuel Shattuck (who they knew had been banished on pain of 
death,) was among them. But they knew nothing of his errand or authority. 
Thus all was kept close, and none of the ship’s company suffered to go on shore 
that day. Next morning Ralph Goldsmith, the commander, with Samuel Shat- 
tuck, the King’s Deputy, went on shore, and sending the boat back to the ship, 
they went directly through the town to the governor’s house, and knocked at the 
door. He sending a man to know their business, they sent him word that their 
message was from the King of England, and that they would deliver it to none 
but himself. Then they were admitted to go in, and the governor came to them, 
and commanded Samuel Shattuck’s hat to be taken off; and having received the 
deputation and the mandamus he laid off his own hat, and ordering Shattuck’s hat 
to be given him again, perused the papers, and then went out to the deputy gov- 
ernor’s, bidding the King’s Deputy, and the master of the ship to follow him. 366 
APPENDIX. 
Being come to the Deputy Governor, and having consulted him, he returned to 
the aforesaid two persons, and said, 1 we shall obey the King's command.’ After this 
the master of the ship gave liberty to his passengers to come on shore, which 
they did, and had a religious meeting with their friends of the town, when they 
returned praises to God for his mercy manifested in this wonderful deliver- 
ance.” 
In consequence of these events an order was passed by the General Court on 
the 27th Nov., 1G61, that “the execution of the laws in force against Quakers as 
such, so far as they respect corporeal punishment or death, be suspended until 
the court take further order.” And the jailers were directed “ to release and 
discharge the Quakers who are at present in your custody. See that you don’t 
neglect this.” The magistrates were evidently alarmed. They sent Col. Temple 
to England to inform the King that his order had been obeyed, and that the 
Quakers were at liberty. Very soon after, Rev. John Norton and Simon Brad- 
street visited England in relation to the same matter. 
Thus was stayed, principally through the instrumentality of Samuel Shattuck, 
one of the most extraordinary persecutions this country ever witnessed. Attempts 
were afterwards made to renew this persecution, but it was in a comparatively 
mild form, and it soon ceased entirely. Mr. Shattuck, notwithstanding the prom- 
inent part he had acted in these events, was thenceforward permitted to live in 
Salem in peace, except in a few instances. In 1663, he was imprisoned a few 
days for charging the country with shedding innocent blood. In 1663, he was 
slightly fined for absence from public worship; and in 1669, he was confined for 
not paying one of these fines. These are all the public notices of him which we 
have found upon record in connection with these events. He seems to have pos- 
sessed that independence of opinion, and that unwillingness to submit to oppres- 
sion, which has ever been characteristic of the Shattuck family.

WILLIAM SHATTUCK, a shoemaker, was an inhabitant of Boston, from 
about 1650 to 1658. Like his namesake of Salem he appears to have suffered 
persecution for his Quakerism. Besse, in his History, (Vol. II., p. 184,) says, 
because he was “ found on the first day of the week at home in the time of public- 
worship, he was sent to the house of correction, and there cruelly whipped, and 
thus kept at hard labor, the deputy governor appropriating the proceeds of his 
labors to himself, while his wife and children were in want. At length he had 
three days’ time assigned him to depart that jurisdiction, which he, in regard to 
his wife and children, was necessitated to accept. Bellingham the deputy gov- 
ernor having terrified the woman with threats of keeping him still in prison, be- 
cause he was poor and not able to pay the fine of 5 shillings for his weekly 
absence from their places of public worship.” Bishop says, Bellingham “ tried 
to produce a separation between Shattuck and his wife, under a promise that he 
should be banished and heard of no more, and that she and her children should 
be provided forbut this proposition she spurned and detested. WILLIAM SHATTUCK. 
367 
He was banished in 1658, and first went to Rhode Island; and afterwards to 
New Jersey, and resided in Shrewsbury, Monmouth County. He was elected a 
member of the Assembly from that town in 1675, but declining to swear or take 
the oath of office required, he did not take his seat. The Collections of the 
New Jersey Historical Society (Yol. I. p. 77,) erroneously print his name William 
Shatluck instead of Shattuck. 
We cannot learn that William Shattuck had any male issue. The name probably 
became extinct in his family at his death. He had two daughters born in Bos- 
ton. 1. Hannah, b. July 8, 1654; and 2. Exercise, b. Nov. 12, 1656; of whom 
Hannah married Restore Lippincott. The following is a copy of their marriage 
certificate, which is the first entered in the Records of the Friends in Shrewsbury, 
N. J. It has been kindly furnished by Mr. James S. Lippincott of Philadelphia.

(1.) JAMES BLOOD, who came to Concord about 1638, and d. there intes- 
tate, Dec. 17, 1683, is supposed to have been the ancestor of the families in 
New England that have borne his name. It is said by tradition that he was from 
Cheshire, England, though two of his sons, in 1649, then in Concord, sold an 
estate in Puddington, Northamptonshire, which might have been their place of 
nativity. He was a contemporary, and is said (with how much truth we are unable 
to say,) to have been a brother or near relative of Col. Thomas Blood, who d. 
Aug. 24, 1680, distinguished in history, during the reign of Charles II., as one of 
the most remarkable characters of his age. (See note in Scott’s novel—Peverill

(1.) The name of Chamberlain was borne by several of the early inhabitants of 
Massachusetts. THOMAS, Edmond, and Samuel, first of Charlestown and after- 
wards of Woburn, were among the petitioners and first settlers of Chelmsford. 
Thomas, probably the ancestor of all of the name who are mentioned in this 
volume, was one of those persons who purchased 1500 acres of land lying on 
both sides of Concord River; granted to Thomas Dudley. He settled in Chelms- 
ford, but the precise date of his death is unknown. His first wife, Mary , d. 
about 1670. He m. 2, April 19, 1674, in his old age, Mary Parker, who d. Feb.

this mill is not precisely known, but it is supposed by some to have been near 
School House No. 9, on the small stream running from Martin’s Pond. Butler 
says, a deep hole in this brook still bears the name of “Paugus Hole,” into which 
it is supposed the body of young Paugus was thrown. He is supposed to have 
d. about 1758. Jeremiah Lawrence, administrator on his estate, presented his

John Chamberlain, senior, father of these children, was one of Capt. Lovell’s 
company, whose fight with the Indians in 1725, near Pequawket, now Fryeburg, 
Me., forms one of the most interesting events in the history of New England. 
His encounter with Paugus, the chief who led the Indian forces on that occasion, 
places his name among the most heroic men of his age, and has distinguished 
him from the others of his name as “Paugus John Chamberlain.” The story of 
the fight has often been told, as handed down in tradition and written history. 
It was drawn up, amplified with a little fiction, perhaps, but substantially correct, 
and was published in the Philadelphia Album for 1828. From that work the 
subjoined extract is taken. In the general engagement of the contending parties, 
Chamberlain’s gun had become foul, and he went to the edge of the pond to wash 
it out. While there he discovered Paugus, whom he personally knew, engaged 
in the same act:— 
“ They slowly and with equal movements cleansed their guns, and took their stations on the 
outer border of the beach. 'Now Paugus/ said Chamberlain,' I ’ll have youand with the 
quickness and steadiness of an- old hunter sprung to loading his rifle. ‘ Na—na—me have you/ re- 
plied Paugus, and he handled his gun with a dexterity, that made the bold heart of Chamberlain 
beat quick, and he almost raised his eye to take his last look upon the sun. They rammed their 
cartridges, and each at the same instant cast his ramrod upon the sand. ‘ 1 ’ll have you, Paugus/ 
shouted Chamberlain, as in his desperation he almost resolved to rush upon the savage, with the 
breech of his rifle, lest he should receive his bullets before he could load. The woods across the 
pond echoed back the shout Paugus trembled as he applied his powder-horn to the priming; 
Chamberlain heard the grains of his powder rattle lightly upon the leaves beneath his feet. 
Chamberlain struck his gun breech violently upon the ground—the rifle primed herself; he 
aimed, and his bullets whistled through the heart of Paugus. He fell, and as he went down, the 
bullet from the mouth of his ascending rifle touched the hair upon the crown of Chamberlain, 
and passed off without avenging the death of its dreadful master.” 
The children and successors of Paugus, long after this event, indulged a de- 
termination to avenge his death upon Chamberlain; and it is said that frequent 
unsuccessful attempts were made to carry their designs into execution. A cur- 
rent opinion prevailed among the Indians, that whoever should kill Chamberlain 
would be considered the greatest chief of the nation. On more than one occa- 
sion, if tradition be true, was Chamberlain obliged, for the preservation of his 
own life, to take the life of another. The following account of one of these 
instances was published in the Atlantic Souvenir for 1829. Though somewhat 
embellished, its truth is substantially confirmed by tradition:— 374 
APPENDIX. 
“ In the year , towards the close of one of those fair days in autumn, which make up the 
‘ Indian summer,’ a number of the villagers of P had gathered into their one-story tavern, 
to talk over their little politics, as they were wont, when they were surprised and startled by the 
entrance of a young Indian among them. An Indian, at that lime, had got to be a rarity in 
P . He was tall, over six feet, and finely formed, after the fashion of the forest. He had a 
belt of wampum around his waist, and from it hung his tomahawk. A long gun was in his hand, 
and he stood in moccasins, with the grace and dignity of the son of a chief. He placed his gun 
behind the door, and silently look his seat by himself. A little before sunset the farmers left the 
inn and returned to their homes. One old hunter remained with the landlord and the young 
savage. The hunter eyed the Indian with keen attention,—his suspicions were awakened at the 
sight of this warrior, armed, so remote from the residence of the nearest tribe, and in a time of 
peace. He was acquainted with the Indians in the old wars, and his suspicions were heightened 
and confirmed, when he heard the young chief ask the landlord, in a low and indifferent tone, if 
'one Chamberlain dwelt in the village.’ The landlord pointed out to him the mill, where the old 
man labored, and the cottage where he dwelt. The Indian took his gun and went out. 
“ ‘ Some of the blood of old Paugus,’ said the hunter, ‘ and, Pll venture my life, come to 
avenge the death of that chief upon Chamberlain. Pll give the old man warning.’ He hastily 
stepped out, and following a winding path, that led down to the saw-mill, where the old man 
was still at his toils, he reached the mill, and told Chamberlain, that young Paugus, from Can- 
ada, had come with his rife and tomahawk to avenge upon him the death of that chief. Cham- 
berlain’s cheek turned ashy pale, and he sternly replied, ‘ tell young Paugus I have the gun that 
slew his father, and he had far better return to his forest than molest me in my old age;’ as he 
spoke, he pointed to the long gun as it hung upon prongs of the moose horn, driven into the saw- 
mill plate, and near it was suspended the bullet-pouch and powder-horn of Pequawket. The 
hunter had given his warning and retired. The sun was setting to the south of Moosehillock. 
Chamberlain took down his gun,—tried his flint,—charged it,—took the pouch and horn and 
flung them upon his side,— hung up near the saw-gate the old garment he had worn at work 
through the day,—hoisted the gate of the mill and set it rapidly agoing, looked keenly around 
him, in every direction, and retired to an eminence a few rods distant, crowned with a clump 
of thick bushes, and crouched down to await the approach of his mysterious enemy. He was 
not, however, mysterious to Chamberlain. The old man remembered ever}' trait in the Indian 
character, and calculated with great accuracy as to the time and manner of Paugus’s advance. 
Just as it was growing too dusky to distinguish a human form, except towards the west, the old 
man descried him creeping cautiously from a bunch of bushes, eight or ten rods above the mill, 
by the torrent, with his cocked rifle before him, and his hand upon the lock. The young savage 
heard the noise of the saw-frame, and could discern it in rapid motion, and shrunk back into the 
thicket. He came out again, a little distance from where he went in, and, with the wary mo- 
tions of the ambush, reconnoitered the mill. Chamberlain marked him all the while, as the cata- 
mount eyes the fox. Young Paugus came out of the bushes the third time, and in a new quar- 
ter, and was stealthily advancing, when something seemed to catch his eye in the form of his 
father’s slayer—he stopped short—brought his rifle to his eye, and, with quick aim, fired The 
report rung sharp and low upon the still air, as if the gun itself were muffled, or afraid to speak 
above its breath. Young Paugus crept out upon a mill log, that extended over the rapid, and 
stretched himself up to his full height, as if to ascertain, without advancing, the success of his 
shot. The old man could spare him no longer. He saw the well-remembered form of the old 
Pequawket chief, as the young savage stood against the sky of the west, which was still red 
with the rays of the sunken sun. He levelled the fatal gun—it blazed—young Paugus leaped 
into the air six feet, as the ball whistled through his heart—and his lifeless body fell far down 
into the rapid, that foamed below him, while his vengeful spirit fled and mingled with that stern- 
er one, which parted long before at Lovewell’s pond, in 
‘ The land where their fathers had gone.’ 
Chamberlain returned slowly and gloomily to his cottage. 
“ The next morning a bullet hole through the centre of the old garment he had hung at the 
saw-frame, admonished him, that the aim, as well as the vengeance of old Paugus, had de- 
scended to his sons; and as he mused upon those he had slain, and reflected, that although he 
was old, he still might have again to lift his gun against the blood of Paugus, or himself fall by PARKER MEMORIALS.

renowned chief, and that they had never met to quench their battle thirst, and scour out their 
foul guns, upon the shore of I.ovewell's pond.”

(1.) The name of Parker has ever been very common in New England, and 
has been borne by more families than any other in Groton and its vicinitv. 
James and Joseph, who first settled in Woburn, and were among the original 
grantees of Billerica, Chelmsford, Dunstable, and Groton, were ancestors of the 
most numerous families, though some were descended from Jacob, Abraham, 
and perhaps John, also early inhabitants of Woburn and Chelmsford. 
(2.) Capt. JAMES PARKER owned a fifty acre right in Groton, and resided 
there from its first settlement until his death in 1701. He was a distinguished 
and extraordinary man, and a leader in the municipal, military, ecclesiastical, and 
other affairs of the town. A copy of his will and a notice of his life, which we 
furnished Mr. Butler, are published in his Plistory of Groton, (pp. 281, 421.) He 
m. 1, in Woburn, May 23, 1643, Elizabeth Long. He m. 2, Eunice . He 
had ten children by his first, and one by his second wife, the last b. when the 
father was over 80 years of age! 1. Elizabeth, b. April 12, 1645, m. William

(3.) Capt. JOSEPH PARKER was the ancestor of the most numerous 
branches of the Parker families in Groton and its vicinity. He is supposed to 
have been a brother of James above mentioned. He owned a large estate in 
Groton, but he was considered an inhabitant of Dunstable, probably in that sec- 
tion of the town, which was originally a part of Chelmsford, and subsequently in- 
cluded within the bounds of Pepperell. The official seal of Groton, or “ town’s 
brand marke” was adopted by the State on his petition. (Massachusetts Records, 
Yol. IX., Part II., p. 301.) In 1675 he and his son were attacked by the Indians. 
(N. PI. Hist. Col., Yol. III., p. 91.) He was constable of Dunstable from 1675 to 
1682. In the latter year the town voted “ Yt Joseph Parker have 20 shillings 
allowed him for his seven years’ service as constable.” He was chosen one of 
the selectmen and a member of the “ committee for managing town affairs.” In 
1681 he bought of the town of Groton 300 acres of the common land for £15, a 
part of which was in the vicinity of Babatasset Falls. He died intestate in 1690, 
leaving a large property. About 700 acres of his land, lying in Chelmsford and 
Groton, was valued in 1698 at £178 sterling. (Probate Records.) Six of his 376

The following article is a new version of one which was published by the 
author in the New England Genealogical Register, (Vol. I., p. 355.) It is now 
altered, rewritten, and illustrated by references to relationships actually found 
in this volume, instead of by the diagram and illustrations inserted in the original 
article. If the information it contains shall be the means of defining more accu- 
rately, and of introducing a more correct use of the names of the different degrees 
of consanguinity and relationship, it will not be without its utility, and will be 
worthy of forming an appropriate part of this Appendix. 378 
APPENDIX. 
A man Avho marries a Avoman is the husband of that Avoman, and she is the 
wife of that man. If it be her first marriage he is her first husband; if it be her 
second marriage he is her second husband. If it be his first marriage she is his 
first Avife: if it be his third marriage she is his third Avife; and so on for the fourth or 
fifth marriages. The history of families shows that the second Avife has a first 
husband more often than the second husband has a first Avife. When either party 
dies the other is left in a state of widowhood; and if a male, the person is called a 
widower; and if a female, a widow. When a husband and Avife are separated by 
a process of laAv, and the marriage contract is legally annulled, the separation is 
called a divorce. When a husband or a wife leaves the other voluntarily, it is 
called a desertion, and it may or may not be alleged as a cause of divorce. 
By reference to page 185 it Avill be perceived that Daniel Shattuck became the 
first husband to his first tAvo Avives, and the second husband to his third Avife; that 
he Avas tAvice left a AvidoAver, and that he left his third Avife a widoAV. in her second 
state of widoAvhood, until she became the second Avife of her third husband. She 
is noAv in her third state of widoAvhood. 
1. Hwstjaiid and Wife. 
When a child results from the marriage union of a husband and wife, such hus- 
band is the lawful father, and such wife is the lawful mother of such child. The 
term parent is synonymous with father and mother; and in a familiar sense, papa 
and pa are sometimes used for father, and mamma and ma for mother. We, how- 
ever, dislike these terms, and much prefer father and mother. Fifty or more 
years ago sir was soretimes used for father. The father and mother, not mar- 
ried, who have a child, are the natural-parents or the natural-father and the natu- 
ral-mother of such child. One who is reported or supposed to be the father is 
called the putative-father. A man who adopts the children of another as his own, 
and makes them heirs with his other children, if he has any, is the adoptive father, 
and a woman who does the same thing, is the adoptive-mother of such children. 
A person who takes a child to bring up, merely, should not be considered the 
adoptive-father or mother of such child. Foster-father is a term which describes one 
who takes the place of a father in providing for and educating a child which is not 
adopted as his own; and foster-mother is one who acts as mother in nursing and 
educating a child which is not her own or adopted as such. From these definitions 
the meaning of foster-son and foster-daughter, foster-brother and foster-sister, may 
be ascertained. One who is appointed to take charge of the estate and education 
of an orphan who is a minor, or of any person who is not of sufficient discretion 
to manage his own concerns, is called a guardian; and the person committed to 
the care of such guardian is called the ward. 
A father is father-in-laiv to the person whom his child marries; and the mother 
is mother-in-law to the same person. A man who marries a woman having 
children by another man is step-father to such children, and a woman who marries 
a man having children by another Avoman is slep-uwlher to such children. Some- 
times the terms father-in-law and step-father are used as synonymous, but this is 
i ncorrect. It is also erroneous to use step-father as the father of an orphan. It 
may or may not be so. A step-father whose step-child marries a person is step- 
father-in-law to such person, and a Avoman under similar circumstances is step- 
mot her-in-law. 
Father and Mother. NAMES OF KINDRED AND RELATIONSHIP. 
379 
The father of one’s father is his grandfather, and the mother of one’s father is 
his grand-mother. The father and mother of one’s mother are also his grand- 
father and grandmother. The father of one’s grandfather is called his great- 
grandfather, and the mother of one’s grandfather his great-grand-mother. In 
more remote degrees, the word great is added to each preceding generation, as 
great-great-grand-father. The ancestor of the father is called the paternal-ancestor, 
and that of the mother the maternal- ancestor. Instead of great-grandfather or great- 
grandmother the term paternal or maternal ancestor of the second degree, third 
degree, or more remote degrees, may be used. There may be also a step-grand- 
father, and a step-grand-mother. 
3. Grandfather and Grandmother. 
4. Son and Daughter. 
The male child of a father or mother is called the son, and the female child is 
called the daughter, of such father or mother. A son or daughter, born after the 
death of the father, is called a posthumous-son, or a posthumous-daughter. If 
single a posthumous child, and if twins posthumous children. Sons or daughters, 
born of parents not married, are called natural-sons, or natural-daughters, illegit- 
imate sons, or illegitimate daughters, or bastards. The sons or daughters who are 
taken by persons not their parents, as their own children, are adopted-sons, or 
adopted-daughters. The husband of a daughter is her father’s or mother’s son-in- 
law ; and the wife of a son is his father’s or mother’s daughter-in-law. A son or 
daughter of one and the same parent (the other being dead) who marries another 
man or woman, is a step-son or step-daughter to such man or woman. They are 
not sons or daughters-in-law; they are not always, though they sometimes may 
be, orphans. A man who marries a step-child is the step-son-in-law of such 
child’s father or mother; and the woman who marries a step child is the step- 
daughter in-laiv to such child’s step father or mother. The children of sons or 
daughters are grand-sons, or grand-daughters, or grand-children; and the children 
of grand-children are great-grand-sons, or great-grand-daughters, or great-grand- 
children; and in more remote generations the degree of kindred is expressed by 
the word great repeated for each generation, or by the number prefixed to the 
degrees or generations of removal from the common ancestor. 
5. Brother and Sister. 
The male children of one parent, or of the same parents, are brothers, and the 
female children of like parents are sisters. Male children, having the same father 
but a different mother, or the same mother but a different father, are half-brothers, 
and female children having like parents are half-sisters. The man who marries a 
woman is a brother-in-law to her brother or sister, and the woman who marries a 
man is a sister-in-law to his brother or sister. A man who marries a sister of 
one’s wife, or husband, is not, strictly speaking, a brother-in-law, but the wife’s or 
husband’s brother-in-law; and the woman who marries a brother of one’s wife or 
husband, is not, strictly speaking, a sister-in-law, but the ivife’s or husband’s sister- 
in-law, though these terms are not unfrequently thus loosely used. The male 
children by one marriage, if one parent dies, and the surviving parent marries 
again to a widow or widower having children, are step-brothers to the children of 
such widow or widower, and the female children having like parents are step- 
sisters. 380 
APPENDIX. 
Many of these relationships may be illustrated by referring to the family and 
connections of Susanna Shattuck, (p. 60,) who married successively Joseph Morse, 
John Fay, and William Brigham. She was the step-mother of Mr. Fay’s children, 
(sons and daughters by his first wife,) and they were her step-children and step- 
brothers and sisters of her children by Mr. Morse, and the latter were step-chil- 
dren of Mr. Fay, and he was their step-father. Her children by Mr. Morse were 
half brothers and half-sisters to her children by Mr. Fay; and the latter were half- 
brothers and half-sisters to Mr. Fay’s children by his first wife. John Fay, 
born Nov. 30, 1669, was a step-son of Mrs. Susanna (Shattuck) Morse, and a 
step-brother of Joseph Morse born Nov. 11, 1667, and a half-brother of David 
Fay, born April 23, 1679; and David Fay was half-brother to both of the others, 
John Fay having been the father of each by different mothers, and Susanna hav- 
ing been the mother of each by different fathers; and their grand-children, the 
children of each, were either half-cousins or step-cousins to each other, and the 
other children of Mr. Fay and Mrs. Morse, step-uncles, and step-aunts, or half- 
uncles and half-aunts. Joseph Morse, Jr., was step-uncle to the children of John 
Fay, Jr., and half uncle to the children of David Fay. Tabitha Ward, who mar- 
ried Samuel Fay, (p. 66,) was step-daughter-in-law of Mrs. Susanna Morse. 
Other combinations may be made of the different members of these families, illus- 
trating other degrees of kindred. 
6. Cousins. 
The children qf one brother or sister, or grandchildren of the same ancestor 
are cousins to the children of another brother or sister, and are called frst-cousins, 
or cousins-german. Cousin was sometimes used in ancient wills and other legal 
instruments as synonymous with nephew and niece, and in a loose sense for any 
relationship more remote than brother or sister. The term kinsman is often found 
also in similar ancient legal papers, and is sometimes used as synonymous with 
cousin, nephew, or niece; but its meaning is not sufficiently definite to designate 
any particular relationship. It is used indiscriminately for various degrees of 
kindred, but generally for those of a remote degree. The children of a half- 
brother or half-sister are half cousins to each other; and the children of one or 
more brothers or sisters who marry sisters or brothers, having three quarters of the 
same blood, are double-cousins to each other. The children of cousins or great- 
grand-children of the same ancestor are second-cousins. It is erroneous to say 
that the children of first cousins are second cousins to first cousins, as it is some- 
times loosely done. The children of second-cousins or great-great-grandchil- 
dren of the same ancestor are third cousins. The children of more remote and 
the same degree of descent or generation from the same ancestor are fourth, fflh, 
sixth, or more remote, cousins, as the fact may be. There may be also half- 
second-cousins or double-second-cousins, or more remote cousins of similar kind. 
There may be also cousins-in-law, and step-cousins of the various degrees. 
7. Uncle ami Aunt. 
The brother of the father or mother of a child is the uncle of that child, and the 
sister of such father or mother is that aunt; or half-uncle or half aunt, or step-uncle 
or step aunt, as the case may be. The brother of the grandfather or grandmother 
of a child is the great-uncle of that child, and the sister of such grandfather or 
grandmother is the great-aunt, or half-great-uncle or half-great-aunt, or step-great- 381 
uncle or step-great-aunt. So on in more remote degrees of kindred, by adding 
great to each preceding degree, or by saying, after each specific relationship, of 
the third degree pr the fourth degree, as the fact may be. Nephews and nieces of 
uncles and aunts are cousins to each other, or second-cousins, third-cousins, &c., 
as the degree of kindred may be. There may also be uncle-cousins and aunt- 
cousins of the different degrees. 
NAMES OF KINDRED AND RELATIONSHIP. 
8. JfepheAV and Niece. 
The male children of a brother or sister are nephews, and the female children 
of a brother or sister, are nieces to such brother or sister. The same descendants 
of half-brothers or half-sisters, are half-nepheivs and half-nieces. There may be 
also step-nephews or step-nieces. The male children of cousins are cousin-neph- 
eivs, and the female children of cousins, are cousin-nieces to such cousins. They 
are sometimes called cousin’s sons or cousin’s daughters. The same children are 
grand-nephews or grand-nieces to brothers or sisters; or half-cousin-nephews, or 
half-cousin nieces, half-grand-nephews, or half-grand-nieces, as the fact may be. 
The male children of second cousins are second-cousin-nephews, and the female 
children are second-cousin-nieces to such second cousins ; or the same children 
are great-grand-nephews or great-grand-nieces to brothers and sisters, or half of 
each, as the fact may be. The same may be said of more remote degrees of kin- 
dred. The children of one’s great-uncles and great-aunts are great-uncle-neph- 
ews or great-uncle-nieces, or great-aunt-nephews, or great-aunt-nieces to such 
one; or the same individuals are cousins to his father or mother. 
These terms might be extended to other, or more remote degrees of kindred; 
but those already given will suggest others, and are deemed sufficient for our 
present purposes. 
If it is desired to ascertain the relationship which any person or descendants 
sustain to any other person or descendants named in this volume or elsewhere, it 
can be done by tracing each upwards to a common ancestor, and afterwards 
downwards to the person or descendants designated. This may be illustrated 
thus: Suppose it is desired to know the relationship which existed between the 
late Dr. George C. Shattuck, (p. 244,) and Col. Daniel Shattuck, (p. 300.) In 
tracing each back it will be found that the line of ascent does not meet until 
Ave arrive at William Shattuck, the common ancestor of the family. From him 
the line of descent may be exhibited as follows:— 
1st Generation. William Shattuck, (p. 57.) Common Ancestor. 
2d Gen. John Shattuck, (p. 68.) William Shattuck, (74.) Brothers. 
3d Gen. John Shattuck, (p. 77.) Benjamin Shattuck, (p. 89.) Cousins. 
4th Gen. Jonathan Shattuck, (p. 92.) Stephen Shattuck, (p. 108.) 2d Cousins. 
5th Gen. John Shattuck, (p. 116.) Benjamin Shattuck, (p. 155.) 3d Cousins.

7th Gen. Daniel Shattuck, (p. 300.) Geo. C. Shattuck, Jr..(p.254.)5th Cousins. 
From this statement it appears that the late Dr. Shattuck was fourth cousin to 
Col. Shattuck’s father, and his oAvn fourth-cousin-uncle, and that he is fifth cousin 
to George C. Shattuck, Jr.; that Benjamin Shattuck, (p. 155,) was his 3d cousin- 
great-uncle; and that John Shattuck, his father, Avas Benjamin Shattuck’s 3d 
cousin-nephew. 
If it be desired to knoAv the relationship which Judge Joel Parker of Cambridge 382 
APPENDIX. 
and his brothers sustain to the author, it may be found by tracing each back to 
their common ancestor, and forward to the present generation, thus:— 
4th Generation. Jonathan Shattuck, (p. 92.) Common Ancestor. 
5th Gen. Elizabeth Shattuck, (p. J15.) John Shattuck, (p. 116.) Brother & sister. 
6th Gen. Edith Jewett, (p. 115.) John Shattuck, (p. 171.) Cousins. 
7th Gen. Joel Parker, (p. 116.) Lemuel Shattuck, (p. 302.) 2d Cousins. 
By this it appears that these brothers are 2d cousins of the author, and that 
they bear the same relationship as he does to Dr. Shattuck, (p. 254,) both being 
his 5th cousins and descendants of the 7th Generation from William Shattuck, 
their common ancestor. Dr. Edmund Parker of Pepperell, son of Edmund of 
Nashua, (p. 116,) is 3d cousin of Dr. J. C. Shattuck of Brookline, (p. 293,) and 
sustains the same relationship to other descendants of Jonathan Shattuck, (p. 92,) 
of the same generation. 
In like manner the relationship between Hon. Judge Shattuck of California 
and Hon. John A. Dix ol New York may be ascertained. By tracing each back 
it will be found that their common ancestor is William Shattuck, Jr., (p. 74,) and 
that their descent from him is as follows:— 
2d Generation, William Shattuck, (p. 74.) Common Ancestor. 
3d Gen. Benjamin Shattuck, (p. 89.) Robert Shattuck, (p. 92.) Brothers. 
4th Gen. Sarah Shattuck, (p. 111.) Robert Shattuck, (p. 114.) Cousins. 
5th Gen. Timothy Dix, (p. 112.) David Shattuck, (p. 165.) 2d Cousins. 
6th Gen. Timothy Dix, (p. 112.) David O. Shattuck, (p. 288.) 3d Cousins. 
7th Gen. John A. Dix, (p. 112.) Francis Wm. Shattuck, (p.289.) 4thCous. 
It thus appears that David O. Shattuck is 3d cousin to the father of John A. 
Dix, or his own 3d cousin-uncle; and that Francis William Shattuck is his 4th 
cousin. Both being of the same generation in descent from a common ancestor 
as the author, are his 5th cousins. These illustrations will be sufficient to enable 
any one to ascertain the exact relationship which any descendant sustains to any 
other descendant. 
vii. gdfliitfr Sisitrs. 
The author devotes this page to the more particular Memorials of two beloved 
sisters, the dates of whose births and deaths have already been given, (p. 172.) 
If an apology to his readers for so doing be considered needful by any one, he 
trusts that fraternal affection for real worth will be a sufficient one. These sisters 
seemed possessed originally of good constitutions; their persons were well 
formed; and they enjoyed good health until a severe cold began to develop a 
tendency to that fearful disease which takes away the lives, and destroys the 
hopes of many New England families. The progress of the disease in the elder 
sister was slow, and did not perform its perfect work until nearly three years 
after its first appearance; but in the younger sister it was rapid, and terminated 
in as many months. Just as they were maturing into womanhood, and were 
about to take their stations as heads of families, and as useful members of society, 
their career was arrested, and they were numbered with that great multitude of 
similar cases, in which Providence seems mysteriously to select the most merito- 383 
rious, and those of the greatest promise of usefulness in this world, for another 
sphere of existence. And yet we trust they did not live entirely in vain; and 
that even their short lives were not useless lives. Nature endowed them both 
respectably, but Rebecca especially with more than common intellectual powers. 
They, however, enjoyed imperfect advantages for their cultivation and develop- 
ment. The common school which they might legally attend was too remote, 
and the old fashioned New Ipswich winters were too severe, to allow them to de- 
rive therefrom much benefit. To their home education, to which we have already 
alluded, (p. 302,) they were principally indebted for the knowledge they pos- 
sessed. One or two terms in the academy elicited from their preceptor a certifi- 
cate of “ ample qualifications for teachers” themselves, and they afterwards spent 
several seasons in this employment. 
They were early taught both by precept and example, by one of the kindest 
and best of fathers, to respect religion, and to consider it as the one thing need- 
ful” to prepare them for a useful life and for a happy death. Yet their attention 
was not called especially to the subject, as their own personal matter, until the 
great awakening in New Ipswich in 1811. A change was then wrought in their 
views; and on the 3d of May, 1812, they both made a public profession of relig- 
ion, and united with the church then under the pastoral care of Rev. Richard 
Hall. Betsey was then twenty years of age, and Rebecca fifteen. 
They were two of eleven young ladies in New Ipswich who, on the previous 
April, had formed themselves into a society “ for the promotion of religion and 
charity.” This society met once a fortnight, and spent the season in labor for 
charitable purposes, and in efforts for mutual improvement in female excellence 
and in religion. It was one of the early associations of its kind, and in many of 
its useful purposes it has hardly been excelled or equalled by those of more mod- 
ern date and of similar design. The proceeds of their labors and their annual 
contributions were partly devoted to the education of a pious and talented young 
man for the ministry; and his subsequent history showed that their charity was 
well and usefully bestowed. Rebecca, although seven years younger than the 
oldest member, and three years younger than any other one, was chosen its pre- 
siding officer in the second year after its formation, and was afterwards reelected 
during her lifetime. Her associates have often spoken of her great usefulness 
generally, and in that association in particular; and of the happy influence of her 
example and conversation in their social intercourse. 
Rebecca commenced a regular journal, Jan. 1, 1812, and continued it at in- 
tervals during the remainder of life. Betsey also kept a journal, but less regu- 
larly and full. The advantages of such a record to the person who keeps it, and 
for the pleasure and improvement it affords to survivors, are too obvious to need 
specification. Many of the manuscripts of these sisters—their journals, letters 
and papers—have been preserved, and are now in our possession. These writings, 
beside the information they afford concerning the current events of their lives, 
exhibit a deep and constantly abiding tone of religious feeling, and a conscien- 
tious desire to perform every duty, and to be useful in life in whatever station 
they happened to be placed. They are esteemed by their immediate relatives as 
invaluable memorials of their authors. It is scarcely proper, however, to obtrude 
any of these private thoughts even upon the limited circle of our readers, yet we 
will venture to make two extracts, faithfully copied, from Rebecca’s journal, one

APPENDIX. 
expressed in rhyme and the other in prose, to exhibit the characteristics of her 
mind and the style of her composition. The first does not aspire to be considered 
as poetry, yet both are given as specimens of thoughts which grew almost spon- 
taneously in her young mind; and which, if they had been cultivated with the 
more modern advantages of education, might have matured into poetry, and per- 
haps into literary excellence. The first extract is six of ten stanzas, written De- 
cember, 1814, in commemoration of her pious and most excellent mother, who 
died when she was one and a half year old, and the other relates to an event 
never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it:— 
“ 3. O! may I never more complain, 
Nor charge my God with counsels vain, 
Or dare dispute his love. 
No ! I’ll fall down before his throne, 
And plead his merits, not my own, 
And all his ways approve. 
“ 4. Pleased to obey her Saviour’s call— 
Her dearest friends—she left us all, 
And bid us all farewell! 
With smiling face and lifted eyes 
Her willing soul did mount the skies, 
And now with God doth dwell. 
“ 5. I trust beyond these mortal shores 
Her eye the eternal world explores, 
And praise is her employ. 
Ten thousand, thousand are the tougues 
Which chant with her those rapturous songs, 
Which fill all heaven with joy. 
“6. Your aged father* now may join 
You, mother! in your songs divine 
To God and to the Lamb ! 
For he I trust—O blessed hope ! 
Made Christ’s eternal arm bis prop, 
And trusted in his name. 
“ 7. Dear parent! may you ever see 
Your fond Rebecca following thee 
In virtue’s happy road. 
That when I quit this vale of tears, 
So full of sorrow, grief and fears, 
I may ascend to God. 
“ 8. There may my soul forever dwell, 
And taste those joys which none can tell, 
But such as feel his love. 
There Jesus, my dear Saviour, is ! 
There shall the songs of joy and praise 
My noblest passions move.” 
“ April 27, 1816. O how shall my hand perform its office while I attempt to record the most 
affecting scene I ever witnessed! The kindest and best of parents is gone! my dear beloved 
father is no more ! Yesterday I was called home by my brother L , who entered my place 
of residence in tears. But, oh ! how affecting the scene ! My affectionate father in the agonies 
of death ! ! He lay upon his back—his mouth, from the difficulty of breathing, open—his eyes 
shut—his heaving lungs pressed with phlegm, which rattled in his throat at every breath ! My 
feelings can better be conceived than described. He was struck by death about two o’clock 
in the afternoon. Twelve, including myself, passed a sleepless night, watching around the bed 
of this beloved man. He sometimes opened his eyes and looked upon his dear family. Al- 
though unable to speak, his countenance expressed the greatness of his affection. About eleven 
he revived a little. My mother, standing by him, took his hand,—he exerted all his dying 
efforts, and, looking upon her with inexpressible tenderness, clasped her hand in his. He tried 
to speak, but utterance was denied him. He likewise took the hands of all his beloved children, 
(except brother D., who was absent,) and looked upon us with paternal love and regard. He 
fain would have spoken the language of his heart, which seemed to be,—“ Farewell, my children 
—I leave you—but I trust I am going to be with Jesus—prepare to follow—be kind one to 
another, and love one another—live in peace, and to the glory of your Heavenly Father.” He 
lay in great distress during the whole night; now and then a deep sigh, accompanied with a 
feeble groan, escaped him, while obstructing phlegm continually rattled with every breath. He 
retained his reason so long as he had strength to manifest it—he appeared to know us all. We 
asked him if Christ still appeared precious. He squeezed our hands and tried to speak, as if in 
the affirmative. The morning came. A serene stillness reigned throughout all nature—no 
clouds obscured the sky—all was calm and pleasant. The little songsters tuned their notes of

1814, aged 81 years. CORRECTIONS. ADDITIONS.

praise and adoration to the Author of all Good. All conspired to solemnize my mind, and make 
me submissively adore. The sun had just illumined our world with its bright beams, and shone 
into the apartment with peculiar lustre, where lay the dying saint, about to abandon forever his 
clayey tenement, and (I trust) enter that blissful region where they have no need of the sun, for 
Jesus the Lamb of God is the light thereof. In a few minutes he turned his eyes upward, as 
if he viewed the indescribable glories of the upper world—his mouth closed—and a few feeble 
gasps released his laboring soul from its prison of flesh, and I have much reason to believe, he 
entered into the joy of his Lord. Methinks he is now united to the blessed assembly above, and 
is renewing there his former connections with virtuous friends, which had been dissolved by 
death. Lovely in death, I discern the features of a fond father still. 
“ On the cold cheek of death smiles and roses are blending, 
And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb.”

4. William Shattuck’s heirs are described in the deed of conveyance of 
his estate to William Greenleaf, dated Dec. 18, 1732, already referred to. (p. 91,) 
as follows:—“ Benjamin Shattuck of Littleton, County of Middlesex, clerk, John 
Holland of Watertown, in said County, husbandman, and Elizabeth, his wife; 
Isaac Holden of Cambridge, yeoman, and Joanna, his wife; Joseph Holden of 
Watertown, yeoman, guardian to his four children, namely, Joseph Holden, 
Stephen Holden, Abigail Holden, and Abner Holden, minors, under the age of 
twenty-one years, by Abigail, his wife, lately deceased ;” and they sell all their 
rights unto a “certain piece of land, situate, lying, and being in the easterly part 
of Watertown, part upland and part meadow, lying on the south side of the high- 
way which leads down to the Fresh Pond, so called, being bounded easterly and 
southerly by lands belonging to Joseph Bright, and westerly and northerly with 
the highway, with the dwelling-house on said land; also, that part or parcel of 
land lying on the north side of the said highway leading to said Fresh Pond, be- 
ing planting, pasture, orchard and meadow, and bounded easterly with Joseph 
Breck, southerly, partly with the highway, and partly with land of Win. Green- 
leaf, westerly with land of Wm. Greenleaf, and partly with land of William God- 
din, and northerly with the Cambridge line.” 
Dr. Bond, in his “ Map of the Original Allotments of Land and Ancient Topog- 
raphy of Watertown,” accompanying his valuable “Genealogies of the Water- 
town Families,” just published, locates the estate of William Shattuck, senior, on 
both sides of Washington street, near Mr. Stone’s, where School Street enters it 
from the south, about half the distance from Common Street to Fresh Pond. If 
this was his original residence the estate must have been greatly enlarged before 
1732, as it then extended northerly to Cambridge line, and westerly to “ King’s 
Common.” William Shattuck, 3d, (p. 88,) owned a portion of that Common.

Avere then dead. Isaac Holden, (p. 76,) Avas b. May 28, 1677, lived in Cambridge,

6. Josiah Shattuck, (p. 105,) in his will, dated March 22, 1771, (not 
signed,) “gave all his moveable estate to his wife Mary; also, the use and im- 
provement of that part of my real estate which was my late father’s, Mr. Benja- 
min Shattuck, late of Cambridge, deceased, during her natural life; to daughter 
Susanna the reversion and residue of my estate; if Susanna should die without 
heirs, the real estate is to go to the town of Watertown, not to be sold, but the 
profits or income to go for the support of English schools.”—Bond’s Genealogies, 
p. 933. 
7. In Holland’s History of Western Massachusetts, (vol. ii., p. 389,) it is stated 
that “Lieut. Reuben Shattuck” and Charles Packer were chosen on the first 
board of selectmen of Leyden, in 1784. We have learned that he was s. of John,

Hobart; 3. Phebe, b. Sept. 12, 1738, m. April 13, 1758, Gabriel Lakin, s. of 
Abraham. 
Doubts exist as to the entire accuracy of the family record of Lieut. William 
Lakin, given in Butler’s History of Groton, (p. 410,) and copied in our note. (p. 95.) 
He had, 1. William, b. May 6, 1655; 2. John, b. Jan. 3, 1658; 3. Jonathan, b. 
June 28, 1661, (entered upon the Reading Records;) 4. Abraham, b. Jan. 10, 
1664; 5. William, b. May, 1665; 6. Abraham, b. Sept. 11, 1667; 7. Eliab, b. 
Jan. 8, 1669, (entered upon the Groton Records;) and 8. Abigail, not recorded. 
It is doubtful whether the William who m. Elizabeth , and was father of 
Isaac, was the s. of John or of William. Maiy, the widow of Ensign John 
Lakin, m. for her second husband, Henry Willard of Lancaster. 388

formation states that Mr. Shattuck had “ lived in Springfield nearly forty-three 
years, having been employed a part of the time in the United States Armory. 
The latter part of his life was devoted chiefly to the pursuits of agriculture. 
He possessed, naturally, a good constitution, enjoyed good health, and exhibited 
a freshness, vigor, and activity, unusual for a person of his age, until about two 
months before his death. He was then attacked with a disease of the heart, 
from which he never recovered. There was in his character a happy combina- 
tion of good qualities. His industrious, energetic, and efficient business habils, 
and his uniform uprightness and manly bearing in all his transactions, obtained 
the respect and confidence of his associates, and secured to him a sufficient 
worldly competence. In his family he was amiable, kind, and consistent, as a 
husband and father; in the community he was sociable, neighborly, obliging, 
generous, and hospitable. He readily obtained friends, and worthy friendships 
were preserved unbroken. To the poor and lowly he was a true, practical friend. 
In religion he was a serious, humble, and conscientious Christian, for many years 
a reputable member of a Congregational Church, and a worthy representative of 
the good old puritan stock of his ancestry. His death was most deeply deplored 
by his family, his kindred, and a wide circle of friends.”

23. We have given, (p. 36,) a computation, based upon 4121 names of persons 
who were descended from our first American ancestor, then contained in our 
manuscript. Since that statement was prepared, and during the progress of the 
work through the press, accounts of many additional families have been obtained, 
so that the number now in the volume, not including either those numbered but 
not named, or those marrying into the family, amounts to 5121, being 1000, 
or nearly one quarter increase. We present the results of this last enumeration 
in the subjoined Statement. It contains the whole number of descendants named 
in each generation, distinguishing the males from the females, and the number 
that have borne the name of Shattuck, separated from those of other names.

From this Statement it appears that, in the aggregate, for every 100 females 
109 males have been born, corresponding with the result before obtained. We 
have given, (p. 46,) a theoretical calculation as to the probable number of de- 
scendants from our first ancestor, which, if compared with the above statement, 
may be thought to exceed the actual number. But since so many families are 
omitted in our printed Memorials it is impossible to say how much the numbers 392 
obtained in those calculations exceed the true numbers, or whether they exceed 
them at all. Persons are now living belonging to six different generations; of 
whom are Benjamin Dix, (p. 113,) Polly (Shattuck) Spencer, (p. 114,) and others 
of the fifth, or children of the fourth generation; and of course great numbers of 
the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and a few of the 10th generations. It is curious to notice 
how soon some branches outrun each other in the same generation, and cease to 
be contemporaneous. To illustrate this idea we have compiled the following 
Statement from the Memorials. It contains the names of the eldest and youngest 
known child in each generation, the page where found, and the difference in time 
between the dates of their births :— 
Years 
Gen. Eldest. Date of Birth. Youngest. Date of Birth. Difference. 
2d Gen. Susanna, (p. 66,) b. Jan. 11, 1663. Moses, (p. 76,) b. Nov. 1,1703. 40 
4th Gen. William, (p. 83,) b. 1689. Susanna, (p. 87,) b. Jan. 1738.49 
5thGen. William,(p. 96,) b. Dec. 13, 1711. Jonathan,(p. 114,)b. July 12,1776. 64 
6th Gen. Ruth, (p. 120,) b. Feb. 1, 1739. Mary C., (p. 169,) b. Jan. 19,1822. 83 
7th Gen. Lurana, (p. 175,) b. 1762. Harvey, (p. 290,) b. May 30,1850. 88 
These facts show that the oldest and youngest child in each of the 6th and 7th 
generation were not contemporaneous one with the other, there having been a 
difference of nearly 83 years in one, and 88 in the other. The youngest child of 
the 4th generation was born only one year before the oldest child of the 6th, and 
the youngest child of the 5th was born 14 years after the oldest child of the 7th, 
making these persons, respectively, contemporaneous with each other, though one 
was two generations ahead of the other. These are interesting facts in the nat- 
ural history of the race. 
The number of twin children mentioned in the printed Memorials, is 94, or 22 
more than already stated, (p. 36,) of whom 48 were males and 46 were females, 
making every 54th child, nearly, a twin, varying a trifle from the original statemen*. 
A careful analysis of the facts on the plan given in our Introduction, and in 
this note, is interesting and useful; and it is strongly recommended that all gen- 
ealogists should present similar results relating to any family whose memorials 
they may compile. It is preferable, however, that these results should be ob- 
tained from the full and corrected pages, after they are printed, rather than from 
a more imperfect manuscript. 
24. The following facts concerning the military service of some of our family 
in the Revolution are worthy of preservation. The Pension Rolls printed by 
Congress, in 1835, contain the names of the Pensioners subjoined:—

The following additional names appear in the Census of the Pensioners, taken 
in 1840. Desire Bangs, in the family of Oliver Shattuck of Springfield, Mass., 
(p. 238.) Mary Shattuck, in the family of Silas Davis, Londonderry, Vt. Mary 
Shattuck, in the family of Maria Walker, Londgrove, Vt. We have been unable 
to identify the precise connection which John and Nathaniel Shattuck, and the 
two Marys, last mentioned, had with the family. 
These pensioners comprise a small part only of those bearing our name who 
were engaged in the military service of the Revolution. It is due to all those 
patriotic soldiers, that authentic information should be obtained and recorded by 
their relatives or descendants, concerning the services of each. The Muster 
Rolls, preserved in the office of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, contain 
the following names, and description of the service:—Abel Shattuck, (p. 190;) 
Abiel, (p. 221;) Asa, (p. 144;) Daniel, (p. 192;) Ebenezer, (p. 169;) Eleazer, (p. 
168;) Ephraim, (p. 135;) Ezekiel, (p. 192;) Jeremiah, (p. 140;) Job, (p. 131;)

189;) Thomas, (p. 100;) Thomas, (p. 135;) Timothy, Jr., (p. 120;) William, (p. 
152.) Most of those served in several campaigns. It is undoubtedly a very im- 
perfect list; for many others who are known to have been engaged are not in- 
cluded. We have already alluded to the patriotic spirit which moved that portion 
of the race that lived in Pepperell and the vicinity. (See pp. 130, 141.) Capt. 
John Nutting’s company of minute men, in 1775, contained Abijah Shattuck, 
John Shattuck, (p. 171;) Oliver Shattuck, (p. 101;) Daniel Shattuck, (son of 
David, p. 142;) Jeremiah Shattuck, (p. 140;) Jonas Shattuck, (p. 148;) Jeremiah 
Shattuck, Jr., (p. 171.) Capt. John Sawtell’s company that marched from Pep- 
perell on the 19th April, 1775, and pursued the enemy to Cambridge, contained 
Moses Shattuck, (p. 140;) Philip Shattuck, (p. 138;) Reuben Shattuck, (p. 139;) 
Joseph Shattuck, (p. 139 ;) David Shattuck, (p. 142;) Josiah Shattuck. 
James Barrett, muster-master for Middlesex County, on the 4th June, 1777, 
returned the following names of persons from Pepperell, mustered for the Conti- 
nental Army, in Col. Jackson’s battalion, Capt. Benj. Brown’s company:—James 
McConner, Jonas Green, Ebenezer Shattuck, (p. 169,) Abraham Shattuck, (p. 
204,) Daniel Shattuck, (p. 142,) Benjamin Green, Sampson Woods, William 
Scott, John Gilson, Thomas Lawrence, (p. 195,) William Lakin. “John Shat- 
tuck, 3d,” (p. 171,) and Lemuel Parker, (p. 293,) with 22 others, were returned 
Sept. 18, 1777. They served a campaign in Rhode Island. This account might 
be greatly extended. 
25. We have just received the “ Catalogue of the Officers and Students of the 
Centenary College of Louisiana, for the Academic Year, 1847-8,” and find in it 
the following names :—“ Rev. David O. Shattuck, LL.D., President and Professor 
of Moral Science and International Law ;” Francis W. Shattuck of the Sopho- 
more Class ; David O. Shattuck, and John S. Shattuck of the Freshman Class ;

1841, went through the course of study, and graduated in 1844. Miriam S. Shat- 
tuck, (p. 312,) in 1852; and Mary Louisa Shattuck, (p. 337.) 
The Catalogues of other literary institutions contain also several of our name. 
Amos F. Shuttuck, s. of Amos, (p. 318,) entered as Freshman at Amherst College 
in 1855. We are pleased to observe that so many of our name are thus enrolled ; 
and that increasing attention is paid to education. The history of the families in 
this volume confirms the uniform testimony of other similar histories, that the in- 
fluence of an intelligent, well-educated parent, and especially a mother, upon the NOTES 
395 
welfare, happiness, and social elevation of children, is of the highest importance, 
and is a sufficient cause why some families are more distinguished than others. 
We hope that constant efforts will be made to increase the number of such mothers. 
It should be the great study of every female head of a family, or one who aspires 
to that honorable station,—the appropriate sphere of Woman’s Rights,—to qualify 
herself so to conduct the domestic management of her household as to approach 
as near perfection as possible, and thereby to secure the greatest possible 
amount of prosperity and happiness to the inmates. 
26. An allusion is made, (p. 307,) to the first inception of the idea of forming 
a City Library in Boston. Since that page was printed the proceedings at laying 
the corner stone of the library building have been published. It appears that 
several persons claim the honor of originating this noble Institution, but while so 
many have been active and influential in the measures preliminary to its final ac- 
complishment, it would perhaps be unjust to assign the award wholly to any particu- 
lar one. The author of this work does not claim the honor of originating this library, 
but he does claim, that he was the first person to bring to the notice of the City 
Council, officially, the idea of a City Library. The Boston Journal of March 22, 
1854, publishes some history of the proceedings of the City Council in relation to 
this matter, from which we make the following extract:— 
“ On the 17th of January, 1839, on motion of Mr. Shattuck,— 
“ Ordered, That Messrs. Shattuck, Chapman, and Thayer, with such as the Board of Aider- 
men may join, be a committee to consider the expediency of organizing a Library of such books 
as may be in the several city offices, and such others as may be deemed expedient to add, 
adapted to the purposes and for the use of the City Government.” 
“ The mover of this order stated his intention to be to obtain, in exchange for the documents 
printed by the city, collections of all the documents of other cities, for the use of the proposed 
City Library; and he urged the importance of making such a collection of documents a nucleus 
to serve as a foundation for a more extended collection of books for a more general and public 
use. The project, however, met with opposition, and failed. The opposing arguments prin- 
cipally relied upon were, that there was no convenient place for such a library—that it would 
create considerable expense to take care of it—that we were not a reading people— and that 
our City Government did not need the experience of other cities.” 
These proceedings were not, however, forgotten. The idea of a library came 
up at various times afterwards, before it assumed its final definite form. 
The system of exchanges alluded to in the Journal, and page 307 of this work, 
originated with him, entirely independent of any other person. He had not then 
heard ofM. Vattemare, and it was several years afterwards before the State or 
City made any exchanges with him. 
27. In reviewing our labors it may perhaps be observed, that we have given 
more prominence to some persons, and less to others, than their respective merits 
would justify. If cases of this kind should be discovered the author begs his 
readers to consider it entirely unintentional on his part. He has all along desired 
to present such facts as came into his possession impartially, whatever relation 
they may have had. Accidental circumstances, as we have already stated, (p. 
52,) must be assigned as the cause why some persons have a more prominent 
notice than others. We have been compelled, by the already unexpected mag- 
nitude of our work, to restrain an inclination to enlarge upon the history and 
characteristics of several persons whose biography is imperfectly given. 396 
APPENDIX. 
28. Blood.—The following document, containing some definite information 
concerning the family of Richard Blood, was discovered just as this sheet was 
going to the press:— 
To his Excellency Joseph Dudley, Esq Govr In Chief over her Majesty’s province ofye Mas- 
sachusetts Bay in New England & Honrl>1 Counsell & Representatives assembled in Gen> 
Court ye 5th Sept. 1705. 
The Humble petition of Joseph Parker of Grotton is as followeth. May it please yorHon™ to 
take notice of ye suffering estate of Issable Blood widow & Relict of Richard Blood of sd Towne 
(who dyed intestate) he had three sons & one daughter who I marryed unto, two of which sons 
dyed & left small Children and the other, living being decriped and unable to manage his own 
affairs & sustaine his family, were not able to keep his sd mother: so yl I was, as it were, con- 
strained to take the whole care of her, & the lands being situate out of town I could make little 
Improvement of them. Sd widow being about 99 yrs of age, &. having lost her sight & unable 
to doe any thing towards a livelyhood I have kept now about 14 yrs: She always intending to 
make me Recompence out of her lands desired me to goe to ye Judge of probate y4 she might 
be allowed to sell the land her husband dyed seized of for yl end : sd Judge informed y* her sail 
would not be vailed without an act of this Court allowing and empowering thereof: whereupon 
sd widow desired me in her behalf to petition yor Honrs for liberty to sell sd land for to satisfie 
for her keeping hitherto; and what further she may still need; as also for her funeral expenses ; 
she having noe other way to discharge the same; or be kept from becoming a town charge. 
Your petitioner humbly prays that yor Excellency & Honrs would in your wisdom & prudence 
pass such an act as yl sd widow may be enable to make me such Recompense as may be 
thought just & Right; by selling such part of ye land as shall answer the ends aforesd. 
Yor Excellency & Hon” 
Most Humble Serv,s 
Joseph Parker. 
In answer to this petition the General Court passed the following Resolve, 
June 13, 1706:— 
“ Resolved, That the Justices of the Superior Court at the next session in the County of Mid- 
dlesex summon all persons concerned to appear before them and examine into the matter of 
this petition, and report the same to this court at their next session.” 
We have discovered no account of the final action of the court in this matter. 
The names of the three sons given, (p. 369,) were obtained from the records of the 
Superior Court in Middlesex, (vol. iv., p. 97,) and are the same as here stated. 
Joseph was probably the oldest son, and had either been murdered like his brother 
James, or died early from some other cause. Nathaniel, also, appears to have 
been wounded and disabled. Their sister Hannah m. Joseph Parker, Jr., (p.376,) 
and if she was the only daughter as here intimated, Elizabeth, who m. Thomas 
Tarbell, (p. 369,) a daughter of Richard, but a granddaughter, and prob- 
ably the daughter of Joseph. This family seemed to have suffered very severely 
in their persons and property from the Indian depredations. 
KSPECIAL REQUEST. 
All persons of the name of Shattuck, and all of their relatives of other names, and their de- 
scendants. are particularly requested to examine this volume carefully, especially that part of it 
relating to the branches of the family with which they are more immediately connected; and if 
any error in name, date or otherwise, should be discovered, or if any name or facts have been 
omitted, they are desired to correct the errors, and supply the omissions. Others, whose connec- 
tions are not definitely stated, are also requested to give their history, and, if possible, to trace 
their ascent to some one here given. It is desired, also, that all relatives, whether given in this 
volume or not, should continue their history, on the plan here given, (see pages 47, 48,) to later 
generations. It is the intention of the author to prepare an interleaved copy of the work, in which 
all additional information received may be entered, and to place it in some library where it shall 
be accessible to any one who may wish to consult it. Letters on the subject, addressed to 
"Lemuel Shattuck, 79 Harrison Avenue, Boston, Mass.,” will be gratefully received, and 
have due attention. INDEX.

AM ASA SHATTUCK MOTT. 
Amasa Shattuck Mott died at his 
home on Park avenue Monday, May 1st 
1899, aged eighty-one years. 
In the passing of this venerable man, 
Waverly loses one of its oldest and 
most highly esteemed citizens. The 
deceased was born in Middletown, Sus- 
quehanna county, Pa., June 22,1818. 
He was descended from a lineage of 
which any American might be proud. 
His paternal and maternal ancestors 
were of the old Puritan stock, staunch 
patriots, and some of them participated 
in the thrilling events of Lexington and 
Bunker Hill. The Shattucks from whom 
his mother was descended, were noted 
throughout New England for their high 
intellectual attainments and this family 
contributed much to the intellectual 
development which has made that sec- 
tion famous for its learning and culture. 
His father, Orange Mott, a native of 
Connecticut, settled in Middletown, 
Pa., in 1812 and was the father of a 
large family, some of the sons after- 
ward becoming distinguished in the 
professions—Hon. Chester B. Mott, of 
Upper Sandusky, O., serving with dis- 
tinction on the bench and the Rev. 
William K. Mott being a preacher of 
power and eloquence. He organized the 
First Baptist church of Scranton, Pa., 
and was for twenty-five years its pastor. 
The deceased served his apprentice- 
ship in Montrose, Pa., and was married 
in November, 1810, to Mary B. Baldwin 
of Montrose, both of whom united with 
the Baptist church of that place. Twelve 
years later, in the spring of 1852, he 
removed to Waverly with his family and 
engaged in the merchant tailoiing busi- 
ness on the south side of Broad street. 
In 1855, Waverly, then but a hamlet, 
was visited by a fierce conflagration 
which wiped out the business portion 
of the place. The subject of this sketch 
was one of the heaviest losers by the 
fire. He saw the fruits of his thrift and 
energy wiped out in a night, but noth- 
ing daunted byT disaster, he set to work 
bravely to repair his shattered fortunes 
and soon erected another building and 
resumed business. The residents of 
the village then saw the necessity of 
fire protection, hence the organization 
of the old Neptune fire company of 
which the deceased was a member for 
many years, serving a term as chief 
engineer. 
In 1857 when the memorable pame 
swept over the country, leaving in its 
wake financial ri in and disaster, the 
little village of Waverly was not ex- 
empt from its ravages. Many business 
men here succumbed to its effects, but 
the deceased, by strict economy, close 
application and a firm adherence to the 
principles of business honesty, emerged 
from the panic with some losses, but 
with his credit unscathed and his in- 
tegrity intact. In the years following 
he enjoyed a prosperous business career 
but was again destined to suffer finan 
cial loss by the great fire of 1871 
so well remembered by the older resi- 
dents of the towrn. His store, with many 
others, was totally destroyed. 
His indomitable spirit, however, soared 
above disaster and with an energy and 
zeal which would acknowledge no 
defeat, he put to the best uses the 
resources at hand and erected the 
present brick store building, No. 322 
Broad street, where he continued in 
business until compelled by the infirnd 
tic's of age to retire from active busi- 
ness pursuits. 
The deceased inherited the martial 
spirit of his ancestors, and while de- 
barred by physical defects from actual 
participation in the war of the rebellion, 
he organized a drum corps and aided in 
the work of recruiting troops and threw 
his whole heart and soul in the cause 
for the preservation of the Union. In 
politics he was a staunch republican. 
For many years he was a communicant 
of the Baptist faith but in the latter 
years of his life his religious views 
underwent some modification. He be- 
lieved firmly in the universal brother- 
hood of man and his whole life and 
dealings with his fellow men was a 
beautiful example of consistency. He 
was a member of the Odd Fellows fra- 
ternity for thirty years and held the 
office of treasurer in the local lodge for 
a long term of years until finally com- 
pelled to relinquish it by reason of fail- 
ing health. He was also a charter 
member of J. E. Hallet Council, No. 4, 
Order American Firemen, of this place. 
He served on the board of education, 
was village assessor for twelve years, 
and nine years an excise commissioner. 
In all of his public services, as in his 
private transactions, he was scrupu- 
lously honest, never deigning to stoop 
to questionable methods of acquiring 
gain at the expense of his conscience 
and manhood. His spirit returns to its 
Maker free from the stains of extortion, 
covetousness and greed. He was purely 
unselfish ; thoughtful only of the- wel- 
fare and good of others. He loved 
children and delighted in the comforts 
of home. He was courteous and affable 
in his intercourse with men, a good pro- 
vider and an indulgent parent. Being 
an honest man himself he gave others 
credit fop possessing the same quality, 
hence he was often deceived by those in 
whom he most trusted, yet he never 
lost faith in mankind. His frank and 
generous nature was incapable of cher- 
shing malice. To his memory is paid His last noui~ uy the 
presence of all of his children, each of 
whom were present at his bedside, in- 
cluding Mrs. Helen Mott, widow of the 
late William N. Mott, and her two little 
daughters. His death was peaceful. 
After so long a life of activity and use- 
fulness, it was fitting that the closing 
hours should come upon him as one 
fallen asleep. He is survived by two 
IB; Rev. Charles ,• Mott, of Phila- 
delphia, and James B. Mott, of Waverly, 
and two daughters, Mrs. Harriet E. 
Stackhouse and Miss Annie, at home. 
Also one aged sister, Mrs. Marrilla La- 
throp,'of Scranton, Pa., who is ninety- 
three years old. 
Funeral services were conducted from 
the family residence at 3:30 o’clock 
Thursday afternoon by the Rev. D. H. 
Clare, pastor of the First Baptist 
church, under the auspices of the Odd 
Fellows fraternity. There was a large 
attendance of his fellow townsmen to 
pay their token of respect to the mem- 
oi y of an honored and upright citizen. 
Interment was made in the family plot 
in Forest Home cemetery.
