William Thrall is the founder of the Thrall family in the United States.
William was born in 1605 in Sandridge [8], Hertfordshire, England and came to the colonies on the Mary and John [9] in the year 1630. He died on 3 August 1679 in Windsor, Connecticut.
The Mary and John was a vessel of four hundred tons captained by a man named Squeb and the vessel sailed with 180 passengers. William was part of a company of Puritans [11] under the leadership of Rev. John Wareham of Exeter and Rev. John Meverick, both ministers of the Church of England Setting sail from Plymouth [12], England on 20 March, they first came ashore on 30 May 1630.
They disembarked with what goods they had, to some high land in the salt meadow, now a part of the city of Boston. They named the place Dorchester [14], which was selected by the captain of the "Mary and John" as he came from Dorchester, England. Page 277 of Prince's Chronology of New England records…
May 30, Lord's Day. Mr. Wareham and his church, and their goods, were put ashore at Nantasket Point [15]. The went immediately to Charlestown [16], and from thence to Mattepan, and began a town and named it Dorchester, and the native Indians were kind to them.
Revs. Wareham and Meverick and their group stayed in Dorchester less than five years, as a number of their menfolk had discovered more fertile land below the first falls of the Connecticut River [17], at the junction of the Farmington River [18] just above Hartford. Part of the colony went by boat and the remainder travelled across the one hundred miles of virgin forest, to establish the town of Windsor. Windsor was unofficially known as Thrallville in the early years.
The first we know of William Thrall is that he is listed with the following men who were among the thirty men who went from Windsor to join in the fight against the Pequod Indians [19] in May 1637. Capt. John Mason, Sgt. Benedict Alvord, Thomas Barber, Thomas Buckland, George Chappel, John Dyer, James Eggleston, Nathaniel Gillet, Thomas Gridley, Thomas Styles, Sgt. Thomas Stares, Richard Osborn, Thomas Parsons, William Thrall. The Indian village in this case was so completely destroyed that for many years, the settlers had no further trouble with the Indians. Some years later, the participants were given land grants. To quote from Dr. Styles records with regard to the first Indian war in New England,
The danger was imminent, and so complete the victory that it caused universal rejoicing throughout New England, and a grant of land was given each soldier and officer, and to this day the memory of an ancestor who was in the Pequod fight [20], is an honorable heirloom in every Connecticut family.
William Thrall is mentioned many times in the early records. His lot shows up in the first plot of Windsor, between the lots of Nicholas Palmer and Thomas Bascomb, and ran from the road to the Farmington River. In 1646, William sold this lot to Nicholas Palmer and moved to Simon Hoyte's place, north of the village. Robert Wilson bought a half interest with William in the Hoyte's 80 acres, but sold his half to Thrall in 1654. This 80 acres has been part of the holdings of the Thrall family ever since.
William Thrall was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England, and died on 3 August 1679 in Windsor, Connecticut, America. William Thrall made his will [21] in 1678.
We know very little about the wife of William Thrall. She is referred to in the old Windsor records as Goode Thrall, but 'Goode' was an expression applied to women with families and it is simply an abbreviation of 'Goodwife'. Whether she came over to New England on the "Mary and John" with her husband or they met in Dorchester, has never been established The record of her death simply states…
Goode Thrall, wife of William, died 30 July 1676

We know that the first US Thrall was William Thrall. He was born in 1605 - apparently in Sandridge, Hertfordshire. The problem is that no one can directly link the English Thrales or Thrall family tree to the US Thrall family tree! The closest possibility from the known pedigree for the English Thrale family is William Thrale who was born in 1607 [29]. However this is very unlikely to be the same William that sailed to America in 1630, as the 1607 William married Margaret Smith in 1632 at Redbourn, Hertfordshire, in England.
According to an unconfirmed entry on the IGI [30], William Thrall's father was Sir William Thrall senior, who was born in 1559 or 1579 at Slope Hill, Netherbury [31], Dorsetshire, England and died in the same place. Frustratingly this teasing little clue is not verifiable as both the researcher who found this and the source document from which it was obtained, is unknown.
An attempt to trace the source of this information was made by Jim Thrall of Indiana1. with apparently no success. In March 2000 Jim posted the following message…2
I joined the Dorset list in September of 1999 and have contributed and received help and direction from others, but still have not accomplished my objective, which is, to confirm definitively, that my ancestor came from Dorsetshire. Details of my objective and results to date, since joining the Dorset list, are as follows:
I'm trying to confirm recent LDS information that states William Thrall 1579 born in Slope Hills Netherbury, Dorsetshire and his son William Thrall born in 1605. Prior LDS information only had reference to William Thrall 1605 and showed him coming from Sandridge Parish, Hertfordshire. This is the same information, my family and others, have carried for many years.
We understand that William Thrall 1605 sailed in the Mary and John in 1630 from Plymouth, while originating in Weymouth. The passengers were primarily from Dorsetshire and other west country areas. My Thrall was a quarryman and stone cutter, which maybe more in keeping with Dorsetshire than Hertfordshire. The LDS were able to supply the name of the submitter, stating Netherbury, Dorsetshire, but could not provide any address information and so I am trying to confirm the submitters findings.
Any information and direction to other sources in helping me to resolve these matters would be greatly appreciated.
Search results, to date:
1. Society of Genealogists catalog, inquiries and name searches, were of no help.
2. Name search by Rob Wilkins gave it a good try, but no luck.
3. Jim Polson suggested Bishop's transcripts and I worked with local LDS Family History Center on this and other areas, with no results.
4. Dorset County Council archivist just advised their search of Netherbury christening register and burials were to no avail, also they had checked Netherbury marriages, to no avail.
5. Jerry Willmott provided helpful direction.Last chance, yet to be explored, that I know of, is the Dorset marriage index, which will be checked when Mr. Andrew is available. Once again, I respectfully request any and all help that list members may be able to supply.
A more recent attempt to trace the source of William Thrall information was made by Joe Neilson. In January 2005 Joe sent the following update to Thrale.com…
Hi, We mused some time ago over how William Thrall earned an exact birth date, in Sandridge, Hertfordshire without having any parents identified. I think it is guess work.
I spent a little time looking at this while at the Mormon Family History Center in Salt Lake, USA. They have on film3 the Church of England Bishop's transcripts for Sandridge parish. The records contain baptisms, marriages, and deaths. They begin in 1575, cover only a few intermittent years up to 1595, and then jump to 1686. So there are about 90 years of missing records. They are in Latin mixed with a little of old English and are very hard to read. So, William Thrall's 1605 birth (or Baptism) did not come from those records.
I looked very closely at the 1595 entries and could find no Thrall or Thrale.
On another film4 are baptism, marriage, and death records in Sandridge for the year 1639/40. Those records are very legible and again, no Thralls.
So, there you have it. On one of the web sites someone has claimed William Thrall's father was William Thrall Senior, born 1579, Netherbury, Dorsetshire. The Mormons have filmed Netherbury bishop transcripts that begin in 1585, again baptism, marriages, and burials. I found no Thralls there from 1585 to 1635 so I folded-up shop.
I don't know how all this information surfaces. Perhaps some institution has more complete records than the Mormons do. But on the face of things, if 1605 is the correct birth date, then it must have come from a headstone or a bible record or something other than a birth or baptism record.
Cheers, Joe Neilson.
In response to a follow-up enquiry, Joe Neilson provided the following helpful analysis to Thrale.com…
Hi David, Spent some time on your website… nice, very nice job. Congratulations. I spent the last several years working on my Danish line, thus have spent very little time on the Thrall line or other New England lines for that matter.
I am descended through William Thrall's daughter Phillipa and John Horsforde who probably did came from Netherbury. That may be the reason someone has marked Dorset as the origin of the New England Thralls since William Thrall and John Horsforde's father William were neighbors in Windsor, CT.
The founders of the Mormon or LDS Church were from New England. Almost all Mormons, up until about 1845, came from New England so many past and present Mormons have New England roots. The Mormons took an interest in genealogy 100 years ago or so and asked their members to submit their family history. The members obliged and they still do to this day. Volumes of family history, and much of it from New England, have ended up in the International Genealogical Index (IGI) and the Ancestral File (AF), two databases maintained by the LDS FHC.
Unfortunately, the swarm of LDS members who submitted their family history into those data bases were in large part unqualified for the task. The result is much of the information is not correct. And the real tragedy is, once some family history is written down, even if it is later shown to be incorrect, it is very difficult to erase because it is, by then, written down in hundreds of places. It later becomes "family tradition" or "bible record" or some such thing.
That is why, on hundreds of family group sheets, the name of William Thrall's wife is shown as "Goode". "Goodwife" was an early New England Puritan term applied to the wife of a church member who was in good standing. Often shortened to "goode", it had nothing to do with the wife's Christian name. Near trollops, if not previously stoned to death, were never called goode, only "decent" wives. Even so, I bet one could still get an argument from most American Thrall descendants over the name of William's wife. Goode or Elizabeth Goode [32] shows up over and over again as the name of his wife.
Staff members at the LDS FHC will themselves tell you to be very cautious when using data submitted by members. All of the Ancestral File is member-submitted. Most of the IGI is member-submitted. A small percentage of the IGI can be trusted The Mormons have filmed church and civil records from all over the world. The FHC is the repository for all those films. Each film is assigned a number. The FHC staff is very qualified and some staff members extract data from those films. Those extractions are put into the IGI along with member-submitted data. When a record has been extracted and entered into the IGI by a staff member, the number of the film from which the data came is included as the source for that record. That particular record can be trusted. All others, beware.
So, the IGI submittal showing Wm Thrall's father as born about 1579 in Netherbury would be suspect right off. And, the fact the entry says 'about' means no real record was found by the submitter, only that he had some reason to believe Wm Thrall hailed from Netherbury. It was simply a guess. A good one perhaps, but still a guess. Perhaps something will show up if enough people keep looking.
I think there are still many records not yet examined that might shed some light on the early Thralls. Thanks, and again, your website is well done. Best wishes, Joe Neilson. 5
Possibly a good place to start looking, might be the Church of England churches at which Rev. John Wareham (a nonconformist) and Rev. John Meverick (a conformist) were ministers, as William Thrall may of worshipped there? Wareham was minister at Crewkerne [33] in Somerset and at Exeter in Devonshire; Maverick had been Rector at Beaworthy [34] in Devonshire.

We are informed that the church record of Windsor, Connecticut, states that a Congregational Church was formed in Plymouth, England, in March, 1680, and the same year came to Dorchester, Massachusetts, Their minister was the Rev. John Wareham, from Exeter, England. William Thrall [52], our ancestor, was a member of Mr. Wareham’s church.
We find in Prince’s chronology of New England, page 271,
“;that in the latter part of the year 1629, a Congregational Church of pious people held a meeting in the new hospital at Plymouth, England, and chose and called these Godly ministers, Rev. Mr. John Wareham, of Exeter, and the Rev. John Meverick, to be their officers, who accepted, and were ordained their ministers.”;
Page 274.—
“;March 20, 1630, the Revs. Mr. Wareham and Meverick, with many Godly families and people, from Devonshire, Dorsetshire and Somersetshire, sailed from Plymouth, England, in the Mary and John, for Massachusetts.”;
Page 277.—
“;May 30, Lord’s Day. Mr. Wareham, and his church, and their goods, were put on shore at Nantasket Point. They went immediately to Charlestown, and from thence to Mattepan, and began a town and named it Dorchester, and the native Indians were kind to them.”;
Page 369.—
“;Mr. Wareham and Mr. Meverick were both ministers of the Church of England [53]. They were allowed to form congregations to take to New England.”;
Mr. Wareham, and the larger part of his church, in 1635, settled in Windsor, Connecticut.
Willard’s History of the United States says, seventeen vessels and fifteen hundred persons came to New England in 1630. Roger Clapp, one of the party, says:
“;Oh the hunger that many suffered, and saw no hope to be satisfied only by the clams, and mussels, and fish … Yet to the praise of God’s glory, he sent the poor Indians with baskets of corn on their backs, to trade with us, which was a good supply unto many.”;
I designate the generation to which the families belonged, by figures 1, 2, 3, &c., beginning with 1st: William [52], our first ancestor in this country, through his descendants; 2d, Timothy; 3d, John 1st; 4th, John 2d; 5th, Samuel; 6th, Jesse, 7th, Walter; 8th Lucian G.; 9th, Walter G-., including 247 years, from the birth of William to the birth of Walter G.
WILLIAM THRALL [52] was born in 1605; his wife's name was Goode. They had two sons, Timothy and David; perhaps others. William died August 3d, (Sabbath) 1678, aged 73 years. His wife died July 30, 1676.
Dr. Styles, in speaking of the first Indian war in New England, says:
Windsor was required to furnish thirty men for the offensive war against the Pequods [20], the names of only fifteen of whom can now be found.
William Thrall, our ancestor, was one of the fifteen. The great battle was fought on the 26th of May, 16371. The danger was imminent, and so complete the victory, that it caused universal rejoicing throughout New England, and
a grant of land was given to each soldier and officer2; and to this day the memory of an ancestor who was in the Pequod fight, is an honorable heirloom in every Connecticut family.
TIMOTHY, the son of William, was born July 26, 1641, and married Deborah Gun, Nov. 10, 1659. He died June —, 1697, aged 56 years. His wife died Jan. 7, 1694. They had nine children: Deborah, Timothy, Mehitable, Elizabeth; John, Martha, Thomas, Samuel and Abigail; the two last were twins. Timothy was a prominent citizen, possessing considerable property and influence. His name often appears in the records of Windsor. There were four generations of the name of Timothy. I do not attempt to give any history of eight of Timothy's children, or of their descendants I only speak of John and his descendants.
JOHN 1st, the fifth child of Timothy, was born June 5, 1671, and married Mindwell Moses, Jan 6, 1697. They had nine children: John 2d, Moses, Aaron, Amy, Joseph, David, Joel, Charles and Jerusha. John 1st died April 18th, 1732, aged 61 years and 9 months. There were five by the name of John. of different generations. I have seen but little record of this numerous family, except of John 2d.
JOHN 2d, the first child of John Thrall 1st was born Oct. 13, 1699, and married Mary Roberts. They had eight children: John 3d., Mary, Aaron, Lucy, Samuel, Mindwell, Ezekiel and Benjamin. John 2d died in 1762 aged 63 years. John 1st and John 2d, and a number of their descendants are still living there. Dr. Styles says Sergeant David Thrall and Sergeant William Thrall, and Issac and Giles Thrall were soldiers in the Revolutionary war from Windsor.
SAMUEL [60], the fifth child of John 2d was born July 11, 1737, In Windsor, and married Lucy Winchell [61], daughter of Martin and Lucy Winchell. They had eleven children [62]: Theodosia, Lucy, Mary, Samuel, Aaron, Jesse, Eliphas, Worthy, Chauncey, Mary and James. The first Mary and James died young. All the others had large families.
Samuel 1st (the writer’s grandfather) was a farmer, active vigorous and industrious. He was an officer in the English service in the French war of 1762 [63] and a Captain in the American service in the war of the Revolution. Before the Revolution he removed from Windsor to Granville, Massachusetts. He sympathized with the malcontent Shays [64], in 1784, and suffered considerably thereby. In 1788 he was a member of the Legislature of Massachusetts [65].
In 1790 he removed to Rutland, Vermont. All his sons and daughters moved there about the same time, except Samuel, Jr., Lucy and Worthy. Samuel 1st had the reputation of a sensible honest man, and exercised considerable influence in society. He was about 5 feet 9 inches in height and weighed about 150 pounds, which was lighter than the average of his brothers or children. He was many years a consistent member of the Congregational Church [66] in West Rutland. He died December 3, 1821 aged 84 years and 5 months. He was the last survivor of his generation.
In the year 1820 he had six living sons and daughters, sixty-two living grand children, twenty-eight great grand children, and several of the fifth generation — over one hundred descendants. Their descendants have probably doubled each twenty-five years since; if so there were, in 1845, two hundred, and will be in 1870, four hundred. [The population of the United States has, for fifty years past, doubled in each twenty-three years.]
Samuel’s wife, Lucy [61], was a woman of plain manners, stout frame and robust health; a kind-hearted Christian, always ready and willing to do her whole duty to her family and neighbors. Her father [67] died February 15, 1785. Her brothers [68] were Martin, Nathaniel and Dan. She had one sister, Deborah, who married Simeon Lewis [69], of Windsor, Connecticut.
I am enabled to furnish a more full sketch of the sixth and seventh generations, than of those which preceded them, or of the descendants of the seventh.
Theodosia [72], the first daughter of Samuel and Lucy inter-married with Titus Adams. They removed from Rutland to Esophus, Ulster County, New York, about the year 1810. Their sons [73] were Titus, Jr., Timothy, Benjamin and James, and one daughter, Amanda [74], who married — Rosecrans [75], of Ohio. Benjamin’s descendants, in 1860, lived near Springfield, Massachusetts.
Lucy, daughter of Samuel 2d, married Eber Spelman; they lived and died in Stratford, Toland County, Connecticut. They had six sons: Daniel, Eber, Apollos, Sylvester, Samuel and Aaron, and three daughters : Statira, who married John Johnson; Charlotte, married Orren Howland; and Elsamana, married John Cade. All had families, and most of them who were living in 1851, resided in Stratford, Connecticut. Dr Sylvester Spelman resides in Granville, Ohio; he is a worthy member of the Baptist Church, is wealthy and respectable. Eber is a Presbyterian; the daughters are Methodists; Eber, the father, and Daniel, Charlotte, Samuel and Apollos, were dead in 1855. Lucy, the mother, died August 21, 1824, aged 67 years.
Samuel, Jr., the son of Samuel and Lucy, was born August 31, 1760, and died May 8, 1815. He married Triphosa Cooley, sister of the Rev. Dr. Cooley, for more than half a century the pastor of the Congregational Church in Granville, Massachusetts. Samuel was one of the Licking Land Company, who, with others, removed from Granville Massachusetts, in the year 1805, and formed the first settlement in Granville, Ohio, where the Company had purchased a township and three-quarters of land. He was a farmer, a member of the Congregational Church, an honest, industrious and respectable citizen. He had been a soldier in the war of the Revolution; his widow died in 1841, aged 74 years.
They had seven sons : James, Aurelius, Samuel, Cotton M., Alexander, William and Timothy L; and five daughters: Sarah, who married Jacob Goodrich; Mary Ann, who married P. Dean; Abigail, who married George Plumb, and after his death Ira Wood; Lucy, who married Azel Mead, and Barbary, who died aged eleven years. All except the last named had families. James was killed about the year 1814, by the fall of a log or tree while he was chopping it. Aurelius was killed about the year 1831, by the falling of a bank of earth on him, while he was working near it. Samuel was killed about the year 1832, by the kick of a horse; and Cotton M. was killed about the year 1848, by a fall from a wagon. Strange fatality! that the four brothers should, by accident, at different times and ways, meet a sudden death.
Aaron Thrall, the fifth child of Samuel and Lucy, was born January 25, 1763, and died June 7, 1810. He was for many years a Justice of the Peace, active in business, a man of property and an influential citizen. He married Olive Loveland. They had one daughter, Rosetta M., (who married William Paige,) and five sons: Anson R., who died about 1851; Linus G., Aaron W.; (who died in 1820;) Homer L., and Orlando M. Aaron’s widow, married Captain William Mead, and died in 1858, aged 89 years. She was the last survivor of that generation of the Thrall family.
In the year 1815, the families of Aaron Thrall and William Mead emigrated from Rutland, Vermont, to Granville, Ohio. All the children, except Aaron, Jr., raised families. Homer was a distinguished physician, and for a number of years a Professor in Kenyon College [76]. All the children of Aaron were living in January, 1862, except Aaron, Jr. and Anson R.
JESSE. the sixth child of Samuel, was born May 7, 1765, and died at, Circleville, Ohio, December 16, 1843, in the 79th. year of his age. He married Mabel Rose, daughter of Justus and Deborah Rose, January 13, 1791, in Granville, Massachusetts, and soon after settled in Rutland, Vermont. In 1819 he removed to Ohio. He had a strong intellect, a retentive memory, and was a jovial companion; was fond of company, a farmer; he was a man of large size. Mabel his wife, was born in Granville, Massachusetts, January 13, 1768, and died at Granville, Ohio, December 17, 1834, being nearly 67 years old. For about fifty years she was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, beloved by all of her acquaintances, pious and exemplary; a warm friend, and possessed a cultivated mind. This couple had eight children: Luther, Walter, Reuben R., William B., and Charlotte, and three others who died in infancy. The surviving children of their parents were all communicants in the Episcopal Church [77]. I shall say more of them hereafter.
Eliphas, the seventh child and fourth son of Samuel and Lucy, was born June 23, 1767, and died March 15, 1834. He married Polly Mead, who died in 1841, aged 67 years. He was a Justice of the Peace, an upright and industrious citizen, for a number of years a member of the Congregational, and afterwards of the Methodist Church. He had seven sons: Joel, Oliver, Lyman, Eliphas, Benjamin F., Aaron and Worthy; and three daughters: Orrilla, who married Johnson Brown, of Underhill, Vermont; Mary, who married Rev. Thomas Parker, of Licking County, Ohio, and Caroline, who married Samuel Cooper. All had families. The family, except Orrilla, in 1815, moved from Underhill, Vermont, to Granville, Ohio. In 1860, all were dead except Dr. Benjamin F., and Mrs. Parker who who in 1860, resided in Licking County, Ohio. Oliver Lyman, Aaron, Worthy and Caroline, died near Mt. Carmel, Illinois Oliver left five children, Lyman four. Dr. Aaron five, Worthy four, Caroline four, Joel two, Dr Benjamin F., Mrs Parker and Eliphas, each raised nine children; Orrilla left four.
Worthy, the eighth child, and fifth son of Samuel was born May 27, 1769 and died July 16, 1816. He married Sarah Phelps, and lived in Windsor, Connecticut. Their children were: Sally, who married Arthur Griswold, and in 1859 was a widow, living in Windsor; Friend, Harvey, Deborah, Lucy, Lewis, Leicester and Minerva. Friend and his wife and child, were lost in Lake Erie about the year 1830, while emigrating to the West. Report says that four of Worthy’s family were in 1850, living near Tonawanda Creek [78] in Western New York.
Chauncey, the sixth son of Samuel and Lucy, was born December 6, 1772. He married Polly Chipman, and had three sons: Jonathan C., Chauncey, and Samuel R.; and three daughters: Lurena, who married Henry Hewett and both died some years ago; Theodosia, married Judson Gorham, and Mary married Jacob Bailey. Chauncey, Jr., Theodosia, and Mary, and their families, lived in West Rutland, Vermont, in 1860. Jonathan C. died in 1852; his family are in Rutland. He was a communicant in the Episcopal Church, and a man of extensive information and influence Samuel R. is a Presbyterian clergyman in Illinois.
The following obituary notice is copied from the Rutland Herald [79]:
“;Died April 4, 1844, in West Rutland, Chauncey Thrall Esq., aged 72 years. The inhabitants of this place have been called of late to mourn the departure of an unusual number of leading men; men who have occupied such stations, and taken such a part in the affairs of the community as to cause their deaths to be universally felt and lamented. The deceased was one of that number. The equanimity of his temper, and his uniform kindness as a father, can be realized only by those who sustained to him the relation of children, and are left to lament their loss. But as a citizen and a Christian, his example has been before all, and was such as to gain the respect and love of his neighbors, and inspire them with the hope that death did not find him unprepared.”;
He had been a Representative in the Legislature, and most of his life in. some public employment. His wife died a few years before him.
Polly, the youngest daughter of Samuel and Lucy, died near Lockport, New York, July 26, 1840, aged 64 years. She married Solomon Mead, who died about 1821. They had seven children: Helon, Huldah, Mary, Lucy, Hiram, and others. Mr. Mead and family lived in Cornwall, (Vt) until about the year 1817, and after that, in Royalton, near Lockport, New York. Polly’s second marriage was to Paul Sawyer.

Mary A., the seventh child of Walter and Harriet, was born in Granville, Ohio, December 24, 1839. She married Thomas O. Phinney, October 17 1861. He is a farmer, in comfortable circumstances, and resides near Clintonville Franklyn County, Ohio.
All of Walter's descendants, in 1862, were Episcopalians except Lucian and his family, who were Methodists. In politics, they were all Republicans.
The descendants of Lucian G. and Martha: WALTER G. [43], in whom this line of genealogy now ends (June 1862,) was born in Columbus, Ohio, November 20, 1852. I have thus briefly traced this genealogy in a direct line through nine generations, embracing 247 years.
Name | Length of Generation |
---|---|
William, the ancestor, was born in the year 1605; died aged 73 years; had 2 children. | |
Timothy, the first child of William, was born 1641; died aged 56 years; had 9 children, | 36 yrs. |
John 1st, the fifth child of Timothy, born 1671; died aged 61 years, 10 months; had 9 children, | 30 yrs. |
John 2d, the first child of John 1st, born 1699; died aged 63 years; had 8 children, | 28 yrs. |
Samuel, the fifth child of John 2d, born 1737; died 1737 aged 84 years, 9 months; had 9 children, | 38 yrs. |
Jesse, the sixth child of Samuel, born 1765; died aged 78 years, 7 months; had 5 children, | 28 yrs. |
Walter, the second child of Jesse, born 1794; yet living; had 7 children, | 29 yrs. |
The average length of a generation in this line has been 31½ years. It would be much less if it was traced through the first living child. The average age of the parents has been 69½ years. The average age is much less when we include all that are born. The average age of man, or the mean duration of life, says Dr. Bell, in his "Regimen and Longevity," page 23, was, in Geneva, where a register had been taken for 300 years, from 1560 to 1600, 21 years and 2 months; from 1600 to 1700, 25 years and 2 months; from 1700 to 1760, 32 years and 9 months; from J760 to 1833, 40 years and 5 months. Since 1833 it has been over 43 years. The average length of life in the Northern United States is over 43 years. The average is longer in the country than in cities. The extension of life has been attributed in part to the improvements in the healing art, the introduction of vaccination, &c.; but more particularly to the accumulation of the comforts of life, the better supply of wholesome food and clothing, which have greatly tended to lessen disease and death, which comforts increase, and life lengthens, as civilization progresses and knowledge diffuses over the land.
The writer has not attempted to give sketches of second cousins, but will speak of one from whom he received assistance in preparing this genealogy. He refers to Walter Thrall, Esq., of Windsor, Connecticut, the son of Luke, the grand son of John 3d, the great grand son of John 2d.
In 1859, he resided at the old homestead in Turkey Hills parish, in the house where his father and grand father died. He was a thrifty farmer, aged 73 years, yet very active for one of his age. The writer, in company with him, visited the old grave yard there, in which are buried sundry of our ancestors and connections, viz: John 2d, John 3d, John 4th and John 5th.
In 1844, he lost a daughter, Cynthia, aged 19 years. He wrote the following verse which I copied from her tombstone:
“;In youth and health she meekly sought,
And found the robe which Jesus wrought;
In that arrayed, death’s vale she trod,
And calmly went to meet her God.”;
On the 4th of March, 1859, he lost his companion, with whom he had lived as man and wife, 54 years. The following are some lines he wrote, which he headed
“;THE MOURNING HUSBAND.”;
“;Though God o’erwhelms with sovereign stroke,
And blasts my dearest pleasures here,
His cheering smiles I’ll still invoke
And love, and trust, and hope and fear.
“;Though clouds may hide his smiling face,
His chastenings, and his love unite,
In darkest hours, his sovereign grace,
Like bow of promise, cheers my sight.
“;He leads me on through life’s dark path
With future wisely hid from view;
I feel the tokens of his wrath
Mingled with blessings not a few.
“;Such sorrow fills my wounded heart,
As friends, or strangers, cannot tell;
God has taken my better part,
Yet I would worship, and be still.
“;The world to me is clad in gloom,
Its pleasures dim with grief, alloy,
For lo! the dark insatiate tomb
Hides now the relic of life’s joy.
“;Yet hope inspires my soul to trust,
And may that hope ne’er prove in vain,
That Christ will raise that precious dust,
"And I shall see her yet again.
“;Strong faith presents her to my sight,
For ever fixed in heavenly home,
Arrayed in robes of purest light
And beckoning me with smiles to come.
“;In glorious hopes, my soul’s delight,
To live in day, without the night;
No more to sin, no more to die,
To live with God, and friends on high.
“;By night, by day, my thoughts ascend,
And rove through heavenly scenes above;
Angels I pass, to meet my friend,
And Saviour too, with equal love.
“;But when the happy visions fade,
I realize I’m here below—
A pilgrim walking in the shade,
Of death’s dark monument of woe.”;
The writer was acquainted with three of his grand parents, and with several of his great uncles and aunts. He was also acquainted with nearly all of the brothers and sisters of his parents.
In the year 1816, he had about one hundred and twenty first cousins, with the most of, whom he was acquainted. Those on his father’s side were of the seventh generation from William [52], the first ancestor in America; those on his mother’s side were of the fourth generation from Jonathan and Abigail Rose.
All of the generation of his grand parents, and also of his parents, and probably one-half of his cousins, have gone to their final account; and we who are left of this generation are far on the downward hill of life, and by the unchangeable laws of nature must soon close our earthly career. It behooves us to prepare for what we know must quickly come.
Mabel was the third daughter and eighth child of Justus and Deborah Rose. Justus was the fifth son of Jonathan and Abigail.
Jonathan was born (says tradition,) in Scotland [93]. He and his family settled in East Granville, Massachusetts, in 1741. He was a deacon in the Congregational Church. He was burned to death when his house was burned, in Granville [94], in October, 1767. His wife, Abigail, died in 1793, aged 103 years. She had been blind for about fifteen years. Her memory was remarkably good until near her death. They had fourteen children, seven of whom lived to a very old age, and all of whom had families. In 1790, when she was one hundred years old, a meeting was called of many of her descendants, a sermon was preached on the occasion, and her off-spring enumerated. She then had one hundred and ten grand children, over three hundred great grand children, and over forty of the fifth generation. While she was yet living, she had over four hundred and fifty living descendants. On the place where her husband was burned, a house was erected in which she lived, and in 1859 two of her grand children, then very old, were living in it. Their sons were Jonathan 2d, David, Daniel, John, Justus, Elisha and Sharon. Their daughters were Abigail, who married Sharon Peas, and settled in Enfield. Dorothy married —— Seward, and settled in Granville. Damara married Oliver Treat, and settled in Weathersfield [95]. Betsey married Aaron Spelman, and settled in Granville. Caroline married John Seward. I do not attempt to give the history of any of Jonathan’s descendants, but Justus, who is the lineal ancestor of Walter. I hope others will extend the history.
Justus Rose, the fifth son of Jonathan and Abigail, was born March —, 1724, and died September 25, 1781. He was a deacon in the Congregational Church. He married Deborah Barlow, daughter of James Barlow. They lived in East Granville, Massachusetts. They had seven sons and four daughters, viz: Levi, Gad, Deborah, Triphena, Reuben. Justus 2d, Timothy, Lemuel, Mabel, Rhoda and Hiram. Deborah married Stephen Spelman, and settled in Granville, Massachusetts. Triphena married Jesse Miller. MABEL married JESSE THRALL, and settled in Rutland, Vermont, and in 1819, in Granville, Ohio. Rhoda married Enoch Graves, and settled in Granville, Ohio. After the death of Justus, Deborah, his widow, married Aaron Spelman. whose first wife was Betsey, a sister of Justus Rose, her first husband. Deborah Barlow, the wife of Justus Rose, had brothers Nathan, Edmond, James, Ebenezer, and Benjamin; and three sisters, Sarah, who married Ebenezer Seward. Elizabeth married Deacon Thomas Gillet, and Olive married Amos Spafford.
Levi Rose, the eldest son of Justus and Deborah, married Mary Deming, and settled in Granville, Mass. They had sons, Levi 2d, Calvin and Silas; and five daughters, Lucy, who married Ethan Bancroft; after his death, William Smedley. They lived in Granville, O. Polly married David W. Bancroft. Hannah married Martin Moses. Anna married Moses Cooley, and Orpha married Alpheus Bancroft. From the marriage of the parents, Levi and Mary, to the year 1854, when Levi 2d, the eldest child, was seventy-five years old, and Orpha, the youngest, was fifty-seven, there had not been a death among the children. Gad, the second son of Justus and Deborah, married Caroline Hale. They had ten children; their sons were Gad 2d, JUSTUS 3d, Barlow, Oliver, and Curtis: and five daughters: Caroline, who married John A. King. Annorah, who married Oliver Phelps. Beulah, who married Charles Dennison. Diantha, who married Thaddeus Lyman; and Diadema, who never married. Reuben, the third son of Justus and Deborah, never married. He possessed superior mental faculties. Deborah, the eldest daughter of Justus and Deborah, married Stephen Spelman; they had twelve children: Stephen 2d, Jesse, Naomi, Festus, Rufus, Buel, Deborah, Meriam, Owel, Jacob, Mabel, and Tirzah. Naomi married Martin Tinker; her second marriage was with Asa Seymour. Deborah married James Barlow. Meriam married Rev. Silas Root. Mabel married Joseph Bradshaw. Tirzah married Alpheus Gibbons; a second marriage was with Deacon Gad Case. Jesse, Festus, Rufus, and Jacob, died before the year 1850. Triphena, the second daughter of Justus and Deborah, married Jesse Miller. They settled in Canandaigua, New York, about 1798. Jesse Miller was born in Massachusetts February 9, 1757. Triphena, his wife, was born April 27, 1754. They were married in 1779. They had children: Triphena, Lyman, Jesse, Rebecca, Samantha, Joseph, Saloma. Ransom, and others. Triphena married Amasa Primble, who is deceased; his family, in 1860, resided in Erie, Pennsylvania. All of Jesse and Triphena’s family had departed this life before 1861, except Lyman, Samantha, Ransom, and Tripheua. Lyman, In 1860, lived in Medina, Ohio, and Ransom in Terre Haute [96], Indiana. When the writer was emigrating from Vermont to Ohio, in 1815, he called on his uncle, Jesse Miller, in Canandaigua [97], who stated that when he was about to move from Granville, Massachusetts, to Canandaigua, which was then far in the backwoods, his wife’s friends complained that he was about to take their sister into the wilderness, so far from civilization, that they could never hear from her, and where she could never go to church, &c.; but; said he, in a few years (in 1805) they moved four hundred miles further into the wilderness, to Granville. Ohio. Justus Rose, second son of Justus and Deborah, was born July 13, 1760, and died June 4, 1849. He married Ada Howe, November 11, 1784. They lived and died in Granville, Mass. They had thirteen children, four of whom died young. Their sons were Chauncey, Ormond, Justus, Ephraim, Freeman, Patrick, and George W. Their daughters were Artemas, who married William Tracy. Demaras, who married Nathan Knox, and who in 1859, lived in St. Lawrence County, New York. Deborah never married. Chauncey and Ormond are dead. Timothy, fifth son and seventh child of Justus and Deborah, was born June 1, 1762, and died November 27, 1813. He married Lydia Munson, who died February 27, 1855, aged 87 years. They had seven children; two sons, Timothy C., who is a deacon in the Congregational Church, in Granville, Ohio, an office which his father, grand father, and great grand father had, in their time, held; and Samuel, who died in 1857. He was a pious and talented clergyman in the same denomination. Clarissa married Samuel Bancroft, who for twenty-one years, was a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Licking County, Ohio. Samantha married William Stedman; after his death she married Joseph Linnel. She died June 16, 1854. Louisa married Oliver C. Dickinson. Lydia married William Clemens; she died in 1821. Almena married Henry Bancroft, a banker and merchant in Granville; Ohio. All the families were members of the Congregational or Presbyterian Church, except Louisa and Lydia. Timothy 1st, the son of Justus, was of pure morals, a jovial companion, a Judge of the Common Pleas Court, and a deacon in the church. He served three years as a sergeant in the army of the Revolution. During his service the following circumstance happened: He and his brother Lemuel, and Amasa Howe, were companions in the army at the south. While there Timothy was taken very sick with the small pox, and was confined in the hospital. During his sickness the army, with Lemuel Rose and Mr. Howe, marched to the north. Some time after, one Watson, an acquaintance of theirs who was left in the hospital with Timothy, joined the army where Lemuel and Howe were. He had a quantity of Timothy’s clothing, and other articles, and said that Timothy died in the hospital, and gave the articles to him for taking care of him. Lemuel wrote to the friends in Granville. informing them of the death of Timothy. The friends deeply mourned his death, and his funeral sermon was preached. Some weeks after, some troops marched into camp, and Timothy, the brother and companion for whom they had mourned as dead, was one of them. Lemuel and Howe stated what Watson had told them. He replied that Watson expected he would die, and stole his things. Timothy was a prominent leader in the church after they settled in Granville, Ohio, until a clergyman was procured. Lemuel, the sixth son and eighth child of Justus and Deborah, was born in 1764, and died on Sunday, September 13, 1835. He served three years in the Revolutionary army. He married Achsah Hale. In 1805 they emigrated from Granville, Mass., to Granville, Ohio. He was a deacon in the church, a justice of the peace, a good neighbor, an upright citizen, and possessed a good property. They had three sons, Helon, Lemuel and Christopher C, and four daughters: Mariam, who married Elkanah Linnel. Susannah, who married Amos Carpenter. Silence, who married Joshua Stark; and Matilda, who married Giles Hickox and after his death Dr. Wheaton. Christopher C., Mariam, Susannah, Mr. Stark, and Mr. Hickox, died before 1860; Mrs. Stark died in 1862. All except Helon. Christopher, and Mr. Hickox, were members of the Congregational Church. Lemuel 1st was one of the twenty-five who were formed into a Congregational Church in Granville, Mass., in 1805, and emigrated as a church to Granville, Ohio. It was said of him that
“;his gravity, inflexible integrity, and promptness, enabled him to honor his offices, and his kindness and generosity was a blessing to his church and friends”;
Rhoda, married Enoch Graves. She died in 1802. They had two sons, Enoch and Austin, and three daughters: Orpha, who married Joshua Linnel. Abba, who married Timothy Spelman; and Rhoda. who married Strong Clark. All had families, and all died before 1850, except Mr. Linnel, Spelman and Clark. Hiram Rose, the youngest son of Justus and Deborah was born in Granville, Mass., in 1766. He married Sabra Cooley, who died August 16, 1854. They had two sons, Hiram P., and Milon, and three daughters: Electa, who married Claudius Graves. Sabra, who married Revel Everett ; and Alcy, who married Daniel Durphy. All had families. In 1853, all the daughters were living in Hartford, Licking County [98], Ohio, and all were members of the Presbyterian Church. The following obituary notice was published of Hiram:
Died, on Thursday, December 20, 1855, Mr. Hiram Rose aged 89 years. He emigrated from Granville, Massachusetts, to Granville, Ohio, in the year 1805, with the Licking Land Company. He was one of the original church members. He saw the fifth generation from him. His wife who had been his faithful companion for sixty-four years deceased about one year before him, from which time he gradually and peacefully declined, and paid the debt of nature without the intervention of disease; other than those incident to extreme age. He possessed an inflexible principle, was a devoted Christian and faithful citizen. He went to the grave mourned by numerous friends, and without an enemy.
Several years before Mr. Rose’s death, he related to the writer the following facts: He was a few months in the army of the Revolution. After the close of the war he taught school several winters; and such was the hardness of the times, and the scarcity of money, that for four winters he could only get three dollars and board, per month. The fifth winter, as times grew better, he had ten dollars and board, per month. In 1787 he was living in Granville, Mass., was strong, and accustomed to hard labor. The wages of laborers were very low. He could get from five dollars to six dollars per month. It was common for good hands to work for their board in the winter, and-for three or four dollars, and board and washing, per month, in the summer. By the laws of Massachusetts at that time, he and his brothers, when they had no property, were each assessed a poll tax of $6 12, annually. Yet by industry and economy, he was able, in 1805, to buy a good farm in Granville, Ohio, on which he lived till his death. All his family, seven in number, that in 1805 moved to Ohio, were living in 1854. Four generations were then living on the same farm. Hiram, when he died, was the last of that numerous generation. He and his brothers Timothy, Lemuel, Enoch Graves, and others, formed what was called “;The Licking Land Company,”; and bought seven quarters of townships of land in and near Granville, and settled there in 1805, and soon converted the wilderness into a fruitful field. There were, about the year 1790, living in Granville, Massachusetts, two brothers, John and Jonathan Rose, supposed to be cousins or nephews of Jonathan Rose, our ancestor. John had sons, Elijah, Enoch and Jarius, and a daughter, who married Roswell Graves. Jonathan had sons, Simeon and Abel. I can give but a very imperfect list of the descendants of Jonathan Rose, after the fourth generation. Of the sixty families of that generation, I give but a sketch of four.
Levi Rose 2d, the son of Levi and Mary, was born June 4, 1779. He married Polly Stowe; they had eleven children, five of whom died young. The survivors were William, Roland, Levi, George, Polly, and Betsey. The latter married Edwin Blanchard, and after his decease, her second marriage was with James Smith. Polly intermarried with Lucius Case.
William Rose, the eldest son of Levi 2d and Mary, was born October 23, 1806. He married Mary Atwood. They had seven children, two of whom died young.
Emeline, the eldest daughter, of William and Mary, married Charles Chapin. They had no living children. Mary married Levi Thorn, a Baptist clergyman. They have four children.

The survivors were Timothy, Clarissa, and Matilda; the last named died aged 17 years. Matilda (the mother,) died March 1, 1857. Timothy’s second marriage was with Susan Little, April 28, 1858.
Timothy, son of Timothy M. and Matilda, was born February 14, 1821. He intermarried with Harriet A. Howe. They had two children, who are of the sixth generation: Timothy H., and Harriet M. Harriet A (the mother,) died in 1854. Timothy’s second marriage was with Fidelia Follett; they have one child, Frank.
Helon Rose, the first child of Lemuel and Achsah, was born November 5, 1788. He married Emily Wolcott, daughter of Horace Wolcott. They had three children, one of whom died young. Helon and his wife, and their two children, in 1862, are living. Helon is a wealthy farmer and an honest citizen.
Lyman W., son of Helon and Emily, was born January 2, 1817. He married Jane Dawes, who died August 15, 1852. They had two children, Emily and Henry D. Lyman’s second marriage was with Sally E. Tyler. He is a successful merchant of Alexandria, Licking County, Ohio, and is highly esteemed. Charlotte E., daughter of Helon and Emily, married Dr. Wm. Shepard, the proprietor and conductor of a successful water cure institution, near Columbus, Ohio.
Emily and Henry D. Rose, children of Lyman W. and Jane, in whom ends this line of this genealogy, were born in St Albans, Licking County, Ohio, where they now, in 1862, reside.
We have but little control over the involuntary motions of our system, such as the circulation of the blood, or the action of the heart; or over our nerves or the action of the brain; or over our respiration or the action of the lungs. Often our digestive system is not to be controlled. Our liver will sometimes fail to perform its functions, and we can not always control our thoughts or our reasoning faculties. We can not stop their acting. A derangement of any of these functions may quickly or slowly produce disease or death. Our life hangs, as it were, upon a thread. Our system is “;a harp of a thousand strings.”; It is well to remember in how many thousand different ways a person may lose his life. Often it is that persons have no conception of the nearness of their end. Many thousands meet death in the full vigor of body and mind, without any warning. When we reflect upon these facts, they should remind us that our life here is but, a state of probation, and that it is our duty and business to prepare for another more permanent.
The writer believes the Christian religion points out the only true course for man to pursue. His experience and observation of over sixty years prove to him that those who enjoy the blessings of Christianity realize in this world far more happiness and peace of mind than do those who are destitute of it; besides the comforting hope of a pure enjoyment through an endless eternity.
When we reflect that to obtain the Christian religion, which costs nothing, the blessings of which are so great and permanent, and the danger of not having it so immensely hazardous, we may wonder why a rational person can be a moment at ease without it. He believes that every person of ordinary mind who is anxious to investigate the truth of Christianity, and would, free from bias, examine the evidences of it; by carefully searching the scriptures, and Jennins “;Internal Evidences of Christianity,”; and a few other such tracts, be would, as did Dr. Franklin, Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton; and many others, be satisfied that it was his duty, and happiness, here and hereafter, to follow the precepts and examples of Christ, and feel that he was prepared to leave this for another world.
