Mr. Treat was the oldest son of Richard Treat. By his father's will in 1668-9, he inherited the great farm of Nayog, or Nayaug, of some 900 acres. I find the following record in Vol. 1, Wethersfield Land Records, p. 120. There is no date to the entry: "The lands of Richard Tratt junior, lying on the East sid of the Great River, at a place called Nayake, wh was given by the Townse to his Father for a farme, and is now given to him by his said Father. The bredth by the River sid, meadow and swamp, is three hundred and ten rods; from the River to a markt tre, being a white oke, is two hundred eighty six rods, on the South sid of that farme.

The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 33. Said to have been a native of Bristol, England. He is said to have come to New England about 1642; was made a freeman, May 10, 1643, in Weymouth, Mass. There is reason, however, for thinking that there were two John Hollisters in New England at the same time, one at Weymouth who afterwards returned to England and the other at Wethersfield. In June 1644, was a member of the jury at Hartford, from Wethersfield, Conn. He was a deputy fourteen times, from 1644 - 1658, and had the title of Mr. when he first came to Conn., but after 1657, was styled Lieut. Hollister. In 1656, he became involved in a church quarrel with the Rev. John Russell, of Wethersfield, who excommunicated him that year, and refused to give any reason for his act. Hollister and his friends petitioned the Court, Aug. 17, 1658, for an order compelling Mr. Russell to give his reasons. This petition was granted. As near as we can judge from the scant records which have come down to us, Mr. Hollister had accused Mr. Russell of having given false testimony in a certain case which was probably true, though perhaps, not intentional. The result of the quarrel was that Mr. Russell and his friends moved to Hadley, under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, in 1659. Joanna TREAT and John HOLLISTER had the following children: +2 i.

"This Committee," says a local historian (Waterbury, by Bronson, 1858) "was composed of men of note, who bore honorable names well known in the history of the Colony." Of Lieut. Webster he says, "he was a respectable man though not distinguished like his father. His son Jonathan in a sister of John Hopkins, an early settler of Mattatuck." (Waterbury.) 1675: October 11, at a meeting of the Council "leiftenant" Robert Webster was appointed on Committee to arrange certain defences of the Towne. The last-named date suggests King Philip's war. June 20 of that year the Indians had attacked Swanzey; Aug. 2, Brookfield; Aug. 25, Hatfield; Sep. 1, Deerfield and Hadley; Sep. 2, Northfield; Sep. 4, Capt. Beers at Bloody Brook; Oct. 5, Springfield. Clearly the savages were drawing near to Hartford, and Oct. 11, as shown in the above paragraph, Lieut. Robert Webster and others were appointed a Committee of Safety. How far he was drawn into the conflict is not easily determined now, but Savage says he was "on service in the war of 1675." This is further shown by the fact that on the 22d of may, 1712, at a meeting of the Governor and Council at Hartford, the payment of certain sums to soldiers whose accounts had not previously been settled on account of uncertainty as to length of service, was ordered and among them, "To Robert Webster of Hartford, 2 pounds, 13 shillings, and 6 pence." Susannah TREAT and Robert WEBSTER had the following children: +2 i. John WEBSTER (born on 10 NOV 1653). +3 ii. Sarah WEBSTER (born on 30 JUN 1655). +4 iii. Dea.

James Treat, Sen., LS. Witness: Samuel Boreman Ebenezer Kilbourn Court Record, Page 122 - 7 March, 1708-9: Will proven. This Court grant letters of Adms. to James Treat and Samuel Treat, executors, with the will annexed. Page 34 (Vol. XII) 1st October, 1735: It appearing to this Court that, in order to a dist. of the estate of James Treat according to his last will, an invt. of lands by deed of guift to his sons James Treat and Richard Treat should be taken. Whereas, john Lattimer and Jonathan Belding, formerly appointed to take sd. invt., are deceased, this Court now appoint Jonathan Belding, Lt. Joshua Robbins and Capt. Edward Bulkeley to apprise sd. lands at the value when the former inventory was taken, 3rd march, 1708-9. Page 35 - 4 November 1735: James Treat, one of the heirs to the estate of James Treat, late decd., and one of the executors of the will, informs this Court that the heirs did not and would not agree among themselves to divide the land or real estate of the sd. deceased, and that Samuel Treat, one of the executors and son the sd. deceased, being deceased, he, the sd. James Treat, executor, had not power alone to divide sd. real estate, therefore cited the heirs to appear before the Court to object if they see cause why freeholders to divide the estate should not be appointed at the hearing. This Court decides that there cannot be equal division unless there be a new appraisal, forasmuch as the deceased, in and by his will left the real estate in the possession of his widow, and after her decease to be divided by their sons, and the sd. widow being lately deceased, and the dwelling house decayed, this Court order a new appraisal of sd. estate. James Treat, heir and executor, appealed from this decree to the Superior Court. He died on 12 FEB 1709 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. James TREAT and Rebecca LATTIMER were married on 26 JAN 1665 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. Rebecca LATTIMER was born in 1650. She died on 2 APR 1734. James TREAT and Rebecca LATTIMER had the following children: 30 i. James TREAT was born on 1 APR 1666. +31 ii. Jemima TREAT (born on 15 MAY 1668). +32 iii. Samuel TREAT (born in 1669). 33 iv.

Katharine TREAT and Rev. William THOMPSON were married on 19 NOV 1655 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts.

The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 31. Came from England about 1637, and settled in Braintree, Mass. He graduate at Harvard in 1653, and was a preacher in Springfield, Mass., in 1654-6. In March 1657, he came to Stonington, Conn., which with his family. Was employed by the Commissioners of the United Colonies acting for the London Society "for Propagating the Gospel in New England," as a Missionary to the Pequot Indians, in 1658, at Wastuxet, in Westerly, R.I. Mr. Stanton, then Interpreter General of New England, was employed by the Commissioners as Interpreter to Mr. Thompson. About 1659, he resided in New London, Conn. After 1661, his salary from the Society was withdrawn as he neglected the business, probably from ill health. March 14, 1660-1, he was made a freeman of Surry Co., Va. Oct. 11, 1664, he made a tender of his property to the Court of Magistrates at Hartford, for the liquidation of a debt, being about to remove to Virginia; and Oct. 13, the Court ordered the Constable of New London to take possession of his property. June 29, 1665, he wrote a letter form Pixford Bay, Va., to his "Loving brother Mr. James Treat of Wethersfield," authorizing him to sell property in New London, and that is the last that we hear of him. His death probably occurred soon after, though the date is unknown. Richard Treat in his will, Feb. 15, 1668-9, mentions "my daughter Johnson," but as the Boston Records state explicitly that she married Mr. William Thompson, who also calls James Treat "brother", meaning brother-in-law, the mistake could occur very easily from a similarity of appearance of the names in writing, or Johnson may have been the name of a second husband, though he is never heard of elsewhere. In the copy of Mr. Treat's will on record now at the State House, Hartford, Conn., the name is plainly Johnson. We have no record of any children (see Sibley's Biographical Sketches of Graduates of H.U. pp. 354 - 357, Vol. 1.)

6. Gov. Robert TREAT (Richard-1) was christened on 25 FEB 1624/25 in Pitminister, Somersetshire, England. He was born in 1624/25 in Pitminster, Somersetshire, England. He signed a will on 5 JAN 1708. He died on 12 JUL 1710 in Milford, New Haven, Connecticut. The Governors of Connecticut, by Frederick Calvin Norton, Published by The Connecticut Magazine, Hartford, Connecticut. The priceless services of Robert Treat rendered to the colony during a critical period, have always been appreciatively recorded by the historians of the state. Born in England in 1622, Treat came to America with his father, Richard Treat, early in the century and settled in Wethersfield. The elder Treat owned a farm of nine hundred acres, which is now comprised in the town of Glastonbury; was a patentee of the charter, a man of high character and great worth. Robert treat lived in Wethersfield only a short time, as he removed to the town of Milford in 1639. At the first meeting of the planters Treat, then al lad of eighteen, was appointed as one of a commission of nine to aid in surveying and layout the lands of the town. He was elected a deputy in 1653, and served until 1659. He also held the office again in 1665. Treat served as a assistant from 1659 to 1664, and was strongly opposed to the union of New Haven and Connecticut colonies. When the consolidation was finally effected he was one of a party who removed to New Jersey and founded the present city of Newark. The settlers elected his the first town clerk of the settlement and granted him a lot of eight acres. In 1673 Treat was appointed a major of Connecticut troops and he returned to this state two years later. Three years after his return Connecticut thought enough of Treat's military ability to choose him commander-in-chief of the forces then engaged in war against King Philip. By his gallantry and bravery he was chiefly instrumental in ridding Northfield and Springfield of the Indians who infested that locality. When the Indians made their assault upon Hadley, treat drove them from the village; and in the celebrated fight with the Narragansets on December 19, 1675, near what is now South Kingston, Rhode Island, his courage rivaled Captain Mason, before him and General Putnam in the following century. With the Connecticut troops he led the forlorn hope against the block-house where Philip's sharp-shotters had more than once driven back the men of Massachusetts. He was one of the last to leave the fort when the Indian power was broken. His prowess was fully recognized and in 1676 the freemen chose Treat as deputy governor. In 1683 he was elected governor of the colony, serving in that office for fifteen years. Then he declined to act longer and was chosen deputy governor. In 1683 Governor Treat was a member of the commission to settle the controversy between Connecticut and the governor of New York. New York claimed that three towns - Rye, Greenwich, and Stamford - belonged to that colony, but a compromise was agreed upon whereby New York retained the town of Rye, and Grenwhich and Stamford were conceded to Connecticut. During the period of the Andros usurpation Governor Treat steered the destinies of Connecticut in what is generally conceded to be a masterly manner. When Sir Edmund Andros became governor of New York and chief magistrate of English America, Governor Treat feared that the colony would be divided and he decided upon a pacific course. The people of this colony acted loyally toward Andros when he went to Hartford, October 1, 1687, and Treat was made a member of his council a month later. Connecticut suffered but little from Andros, which is undoubtedly due to Treat's great tact. The English Revolution came in due time and when the news of it reached Boston, in April, 1689, Andros was thrust into custody. Treat was quietly awaiting his chance, and on the 9th of May he resumed the office of governor. The assembly was ordered to meet in June, and William and Mary were proclaimed with enthusiasm. The old time government swung into motion again and the story of Andros entered into history. Governor Treat died at his home in Milford on July 12, 1710, having reached the great age of eighty-nine years. His son, Samuel Treat, was distinguished clergyman in Massachusetts and grandfather of Robert Treat Paine, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In summing up the life of Robert Treat, Hollister's opinion of him seems the best. He says: "Governor Treat was not only a man of high courage, but was one of the most cautious military leaders, and possessed a quick sagacity united with a breadth of understanding that enabled him to see at a glance the most complex relations that surrounded the field of battle. He was a planter of that hospitality was accounted a virtue, and when the term gentleman was something more than an empty title. His deep piety has still a traditionary fame in the neighborhood where he spent the brief portion of his time that he was allowed to devote to the culture of the domestic and social virtues. There existed between Robert Treat and John Winthrop the most cordial friendship, growing out of the admiration that each felt for the character and abilities of the other, and also on account of the part they took - the one procuring the chatter, the other in vindicating its jurisdiction and in preserving it format he violence of its enemies." Gov. Robert TREAT and Jane TAPP were married on 25 DEC 1647. Jane TAPP (daughter of Edmund TAPP) died on 8 APR 1703. Gov. Robert TREAT and Jane TAPP had the following children: +17 i. TREAT. +18 ii. Hannah TREAT (born in 1660). Gov. Robert TREAT and Elizabeth POWELL were married on 24 OCT 1705 in Milford, New Haven, Connecticut. Married the widow Elizabeth Bryan Elizabeth POWELL (daughter of Michael POWELL) died on 10 JAN 1706. 7. Elizabeth TREAT (Richard-1) was born in 1627 in Pitminster, Somersetshire, England. She was christened on 25 JUL 1627 in Pitminister, Somersetshire, England. She died in 1706 in Milford, New Haven, Connecticut. Elizabeth TREAT and George WOLCOTT were married about 1649 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut. 8. Susannah TREAT (Richard-1) was born in 1629 in Pitminster, Somersetshire, England. She was christened on 8 OCT 1629 in Pitminister, Somersetshire, England. She signed a will in 1698. She died about 1705/6 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. Susannah TREAT and Lt. Robert BARNES were married before 1652. Susannah TREAT and Robert WEBSTER were married on 10 NOV 1653 in Middletown, Middlesex, Connecticut. Robert WEBSTER (son of Gov. John WEBSTER and Agnes SMITH) was born on 17 NOV 1619 in Cossington, Leicestershire, England. He was christened on 8 DEC 1619 in Cossington, Leicestershire, England. He signed a will on 20 MAY 1676 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. History & Genealogy of the Gov. John Webster Family of Connecticut. By William Holcomb Webster & Rev.

Melville Reuben Webster, D.D. 1st Edition, Published by Endless Genealogies, St. Paul, printed by: E. R. Andrews Printing Co., Rochester, N. Y. 1915, p. 24. During his Hartford residence his name appears in the following important relations. 1662-3: January 25, Robert Webster was one of a jury who tried and convicted Nathaniel and Rebecca Greensmith, and they were executed. 1669: February 12, the Second Church of Hartford was set off as a distinct organization from the original First Church, and in a list of fifteen brethren in full communion appears the name of Robert Webster. 1669: In a list of freemen "on ye South side of Hartford," dated October, 1669, appears the name of Robert Webster. 1672: May 9. the Court of Elections of Hartford granted to "Leiftenant" Robert Webster 300 acres of land, provided he took it up where it would not prejudice an former grant. 1673: In October the General Court sitting in Hartford ordered a survey of lands at Mattatock on the Mallatock (Naugauck) River, and appointed as a Committee, Lieut. Thomas Bull, Lieut. Robert Webster, and Daniel Pratt. 1674: April 6,7,8,9, was the date of a report from the above Committee on the result of their survey, and among other things stated that the place "may accommodate thirty families." The Court afterwards appointed Maj. John Talcott, Lieut. Robert Webster, Lieut Nicholas Olmstead, Ensign Samuel Steele, Ensign John Wadsworth, a Committee to regulate and order setting off a plantation at Mattactuck. "This Committee," says a local historian (Waterbury, by Bronson, 1858) "was composed of men of note, who bore honorable names well known in the history of the Colony." Of Lieut. Webster he says, "he was a respectable man though not distinguished like his father. His son Jonathan in a sister of John Hopkins, an early settler of Mattatuck." (Waterbury.) 1675: October 11, at a meeting of the Council "leiftenant" Robert Webster was appointed on Committee to arrange certain defences of the Towne. The last-named date suggests King Philip's war. June 20 of that year the Indians had attacked Swanzey; Aug. 2, Brookfield; Aug. 25, Hatfield; Sep. 1, Deerfield and Hadley; Sep. 2, Northfield; Sep. 4, Capt. Beers at Bloody Brook; Oct. 5, Springfield. Clearly the savages were drawing near to Hartford, and Oct. 11, as shown in the above paragraph, Lieut. Robert Webster and others were appointed a Committee of Safety. How far he was drawn into the conflict is not easily determined now, but Savage says he was "on service in the war of 1675." This is further shown by the fact that on the 22d of may, 1712, at a meeting of the Governor and Council at Hartford, the payment of certain sums to soldiers whose accounts had not previously been settled on account of uncertainty as to length of service, was ordered and among them, "To Robert Webster of Hartford, 2 pounds, 13 shillings, and 6 pence."

Social Rank of Richard Treat. Mr. Treat must have been a man of high social standing and of much influence in the town of Wethersfield, and in the colony of Connecticut. This is evident from the various positions of trust occupied by him. Titles once meant something. Not every one, as at the present day, had Esq. attached to their names. Even the prefix Mr. or Master was a mark of importance. It was then a title fully as high as Honorable is now. Generally speaking, not more the five freemen in a hundred had the title of Mr., and very few of the deputies and magistrates. By the General Court of Massachusetts, Sept. 21, 1631, "It is ordered, that Josias Plastowe shall (for stealing 4 basketts of corne from the Indians), returne them 8 basketts againe, be ffined V. and hereafter to be called by the name Josias, & not Mr. as formerly hee vsed to be." (Mass. Records, 1: 92) In the list of freemen of Wethersfield for 1659, only three besides Richard Treat, sr., are styled Mr., and he bore that title as early as 1642, and perhaps earlier. In 1695, out of a list of 114 legal inhabitants of Eastham, Mass., only two have the title of Mr., -- Mr. Sunderland, who was the schoolmaster and held in high respect, an Mr. Treat the minister. It is said that Mr. Treat was a deputy from Wethersfield as early as 1637, but there is no proof of this so far as I know and it is doubtful whether he was there as early as that. Certainly he is not mentioned as one in the Connecticut Records before 1644. He was cosen a juror, June 15, 1643, - a high position the, generally occupied only by the most prominent persons, and grand juror, Sept. 15 of the same year. (C.C. R. 1: 88, 93.) In April, 1644, he was chosen deputy, and was annually elected for fourteen years, up to 1657-8 (ib.1:103). He was elected assistant, or magistrate, eight times, from March 11, 1657-8 to 1665 (ib. 1: 310). Oct. 25, 1644, he and Mr. Wells were the committee from Wethersfield to receive money for maintaining scholars at Cambridge (ib. 1:112). In 1654, he was chosen on a committee to lay out lands granted by the town. In 1660, he was townsman, an office answering to the present selectmen. Oct. 4, 1660, he was appointed to examine Thirty mile Island, a valuable township, thirty miles from the mouth of the Connecticut, with a view to settlement. In 1663, he was appointed to procure a minister. He also held various other offices of honor and trust, which have been mentioned previously. March 14, 1660-1, the General Court of Connecticut applied to King Charles II, for a charter for their colony, which was granted April 23, 1662. It was a very liberal character. Richard Treat, and two of his sons-in-law, John Deming and Matthew Camfield were among the patentees: "CHARLES THE SECOND, BY THE GRACE of God, King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, defender of the Faith, & c.; TO ALL to whome theis shall come, Greetinge: WHEREAS, by the several Navigacons, discoveryes & successful Plantacons of diverse of our loveing Subjects of this our Realme of England, Several Lands, Islands, Places, Colonies and Plantacons have byn obtained and settled in that parte of the Contnent of America call New England, and thereby the Trade and Commerce there hath byn of late yeares much increase, AND WHEREAS, we hav byn informed by the humble Peticon of our Trusty and well beloved John Winthrop, John Mason, Samuel Willis, Henry Clerke, Matthe Allen, John Tappan, Nathan Gold, Richard Treate, Richard Lord, Henry Woolicott, John Talcott, Daniel Clerke, John Ogden, Thomas Wells, Obedias Brewen, John Clerk, Anthony Haukins, John Deming and Matthew Camfield, being Persons Principally interested in our Colony or Plantacon of Connecticutt in New England, that the same Consideracons, And some other parte thereof gained by Conquest, and with much difficulty, and att the only endeavours, expence and Charge of them and their Associates, and those under whome they Clayme, Subdued and improved, and thereby become a considerable enlargement and addicon of our dominions and interest there, - NOW KNOW YEAR" & c. (C.C. R 2:3-11.) He was a member of Governor Winthrop's Council, Dec. 17, 1663, and July 1, 1665 (ib. 15: 388). Mr. Treat was also a man of considerable wealth for those times and an extensive land owner in Wethersfield. At the laying out of the Naubuc farms, which consisted of lands on the east side of the Connecticut river, within the limits of what was then Wethersfield, but now Glastonbury, in 1640, or as early as 1639, the town gave him a large tract of land lot No. 36, 310 rods wide by the river, computing south from Roaring Brook, and extending back a long ways into the wilderness, some three miles. The exact size of this lot is not known, but is supposed to hav contained about 900 acres. It was called the "farm on Nayog," and long known as the "Treat farm." Richard Treat, Jr., inherited this farm. He also bought several homesteads. In 1641, he bought the house of John Whitmore, on the east side of High St., at the north end, with 12-1/2 acres of land around it, and also his lot No. 27, at Naubue, of 54 acres. The same year, or a little earlier, he bought both the homesteads of Matthew Mitchel, one on the east side, and the other on the west side of Broad St., both having dwelling houses and barns attached. He also purchased the homestead of Thurston Raynor, on the west side of Broad st., and his lot No. 6, containing 330 acres, across the river. These three Whitmore, Mitchel, and Raynon - removed to Stamford, Conn. In 1659, he bought the homestead of Rev. John Russell, who went to Hadley, situated on the west side of Broad St. He gave away much of his property while alive. One of the lots which he owned in 1641, remained in the family down to about 1855. It was on Broad street. No one by the name of Treat now (1890) lives in Wethersfield.

He signed a will on 13 FEB 1668 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut.

Richard Treat Sen: (Seal) There is one expression in this document, "next his son Richards house," instead of "next my son Richards house," which would seem to indicate that Mr. Treat did not himself write the will, but that it was drawn up at his dictation. Probably he was too weak and infirm to do it personally. He died on 14 FEB 1669 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. Inventory of estate was completed on 3 MAR 1669/70 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 30.

He was juror and Grand Juror 1643, was chosen Deputy from Wethersfield to the Connecticut General Court, April, 1644, and annually re-elected fourteen years, 1644-57. He was elected Assistant or Magistrate eight times, from March, 1657-8 to 1664. He was Townsman 1660, March 14, 1660-1 the General Court applied for a charter for their colony, which was granted April 23, 1662. A man of considerable wealth and an extensive land owner. He was a member of Governor Winthrop's Council, December 17, 1663, and July 1, 1664. The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 26 - 29. Richard Treat (Robert, Richard, William, John), was born 1584, in Pitminster, probably in the hamlet of South Trendle, now the parish of Trull, Somerset, England; baptized in Pitminster church, Aug. 28, 1854; died 1669-70, in Wethersfield, Conn., was alive Oct. 11, 1669, and the inventory of his estate was presented to court, March 3, 1669-70; married, April 27, 1615, in Pitmister, Alice Gaylard, who was baptized May 10, 1594, in Pitminster, when her name was spelled Gaylaud, and the daughter of Hugh Gaylard, who was buried Oct. 21, 1614, in Pitminster, and whose will is recorded in the Taunton Probate Court in 1614, but has utterly perished. When Alice Treat died is unknown, but she survived her husband. The tradition that Alice was a second wife, and that the name of the first wife was Joanna, who was the mother of Mr. Treat's children, has proved, upon investigation, to be unfounded. The name of Hugh Gaylerd appears in the Taunton Manor Register, 1753, Poundishord, for two Messuages and two furlongs of Bondland, and two acres of Overland in Smalecrosse, and one acre of Overland in Lakemead, in the Tything of South Trendle, late of Nicholas Gaylerd, and the said Hugh first surrendered one acre of Bondland called Southgrove, in Tything aforesaid, by surrender of John Gaylard (?Johane widow of Nicholas) to hold to said Johane a Messuage and land for residence, & c. His name also appears in the calendars in 1574, '81, '88, '92, '94, '96. Oct. 4, 1608, he surrendered a Close called Smalerest in the Tything of South Trendle, to son George Gaylard. Richard Treat was the son of Robert and Honora or Honour Trott, and the grandson of Richard and Joanna Trott, all of Pitminster. His great grandfather was probably William Trott of Staplegrove, and his great great grandfather was probably John Trott also of Staplegrove. He was baptized under the name of Trott, married under the name of Trett; his children were baptized by the names of Trott and Tratt,and he was called Treat when he died. The name of Treat first appears in 1647, and in 1664 he signed two different documents under the name of Treat and Treate. I find the following in regard to Richard Treat, or Trott in the Taunton Manor Registers. This is an exact copy: 1600. Poundisfor. "Ricus Trotte, p.i mesuage et dimid virgat terr nat i cotag cum s. ptm et iiij acr terr de our land in decem de southtrendle quond'm Hugonis Hollwell ex reddicoe Robti Trotte per s. Hend sub condicoe qd Honora Trotte relict eiusdem Robert Heat teneat et gardeat oia et singula p.miss Durant viduetat & c. Dat 4 Mar xlij Eliz. Bonds John Prist & Nichi Dolling." Translation. "Richard Trotte for one Messuage and half a Virgate of Bondland, one Cottage with its Appurtanaces, and four acres of overland in the Tything of South Trendle, late held by Hugh Holwell, by surrender of Robert Trotte, to be held by him under condition that Honora (Honour) relict of said Robert (Trotte) have hold and possess all and every of the Premises during her widowhood, & c. Given March 4th in the 42d year of Queen Elizabeth. Bondsmen, John Prist and Nicholas Dolling." This is the same land that was once held by his grandfather Richard and father Robert Trotte, 1571-72. Also same year, for four acres of Overland pasture in Hollimore in the Tything of South Trendle, late of Wm. Wills, by surrender of Robert Trotte, & c.; also for three acres of Overland, called Stoney Downe next the road in the Tything of South Trendle, late of Agens Hering, by surrender of Robert Trott & c.; also, for two Cottages with Courtyards containing (blank) in the Tything of South Trendle, late of Richard Aplyn, by surrender of Robert Trott, & c. See also the Calendars for 1601, '18, '19, '22, and '30. The family lived in the hamlet of Trndle, now the parish of Trull, in the parish of Pitminster, a large parish and village 4-1/2 miles south of Taunton, now in the Hundred of Taunton Dean, in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. The soil is clay and the chief crops are wheat, oats, barley, roots and pasture land. The population was 1382 in 1881. The reservoirs of the Taunton water works are in this parish. Barton Grange, anciently the residence of the Priors of Taunton, is at the foot of the Blagdon Hills, and the park contains some magnificent oaks and elms. Blagdon 1-1/4 miles southwest, Howleigh 1-1/2 miles west, Feltham 1-3/4 miles south, and Lowton 2 miles west from the church, are hamlets in the parish. John and Robert Trott, doubtless distant "cousins," now reside in the parish. According to Collinson's history of Somerset, p. 5, Vol. 1, in 1792, Pitminster comprised five hamlets: Blagdon, 47 houses; Leigh, 57 houses; Fulford, 23 houses; Trendle (now Trull), 30 houses; Duddleston, 28 houses. The village of Pitminster contained 38 houses, and the whole number of inhabitants was 1036. This manor, anciently called Pipeminstre and Pipplemenstre, is mentioned in the Domesday book, 1086, and was given by King Hardicnute to the church of Winchester. In the time of King Stephen, the church of Pitminster was appropriated to the priory of Taunton, by Henry de Blois, bishop of Winchester. It is dedicated to St. Andrew and St. Mary. The present structure is not very ancient but built upon the ruins of one of the Saxon times. It is eighty-eight feet long, and forty feet wide, in the perpendicular style, consisting of a chancel, nave, two side aisles, south porch and western tower with a spire and five bells. There are some ancient and richly carved benches, a finely carved stone pulpit and reredos, and some very interesting alter tombs to the Coles family, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. Two of the windows are stained. The sittings are for four hundred people. Trull, anciently North and South Trendle, is a parish and village lying between Pitminster and Taunton, two miles south from the latter and ____ the high road to Honiton. It was formerly in the Hundred of Poundisford, now in that of Taunton Dean. The chief crops are wheat, barley and roots. In 1881, the population was 960. The church of All Saints formerly belonged to the priory of Taunton. The register of baptisms and burials dates from 1670; marriage, 1677. The earlier ones have been lost. The fabric is built of local stone, of the perpendicular period, consisting of chancel, have of three bays, aisles, south porch, and an embattled western tower of two stages, with pinnacles, and containing six bells. Some of the ancient 16th century benches have very richly carved ends. One represents the ordinary Sunday procession of a small parish church of the period, and includes (1) a boy in short surplice, carrying a cross; (2) a man in fleshed trunk hose and short surplice, carrying a candle or torch; (3) a similar figure, wearing a maniple on the left arm and carrying a reliquary; (4) a man in a long surplice, holding an open book, probably a deacon or second priest; (5) the priest, vested in a fringed alb and embroidered cope, and holding an open book; neither hoy water nor incense is shown. Another bench end represents the instruments of the Passion and the figure of a cock; tow more bear the letters S and W respectively, the latter letter being upheld on the peaks of two birds; on the back of the furthest seat are eight panels, ornamented with the linen pattern and during bearing this inscription: "John Waye Clarke here," and "Simon Warman, maker of this worke, Ano Dni 1560." Our ancestors must have sat in these very seats. On the back of the pulpit are figures of St. John the Evangelist, and the four Latin Doctors; there is an ancient screen of carved oak and six stained windows. The church was restored in 1862. If the early Trull registers had not perished they would doubtless supply many gaps in the family history.

William H. PHILLIPS was born October, 1801 in Hanover, NH. This is verified by family and census records. He died in October, 1869 near Akron, NY (Erie County - Buffalo is the county seat). Supposedly, according to the Missouri State History, in which his son, Eugene Cleveland PHILLIPS, is mentioned, William's father was Lord PHILLIPS of Ireland, who came to New England. The Phillips family has always believed he, or he and his family, came t Massachusetts first. I surely wish we had a given name, but we don't. There is, I think, a PHILIPS in the 1800 census for Grafton County. Hope someone can verify that. However, no first names are given, and it would have been before William was born. We believe William had a younger brother named Levi and a sister named Frances. He next surfaces in the 1830 census in western New York married to Phileta PIERSON, and from there it is relatively easy to follow him, but there is that in between period. Also we do not know when he came to this country. It probably had to be between 1750 to the 1790's at best. Couldn't be earlier or later. Don't know if they moved to another area of New Hampshire, went to eastern New York first or what. Any help, suggestions, free lookups would be appreciated. Thanks.

In todays Sunday Republican, there is an article on the Noah Parson house in Northampton, built in 1755, is being taken down piece by piece and moving it to New Hampshire to prevent the destruction of the house by the town for a parking lot. Noah is the great grandson of Joseph Parsons, who came to Northampton (probably from Springfield) in 1655 to build the Northampton town house. There is another Parson house built in 1719 that is part of the Historica Northampton Complex on Bridge St. If there is an ancestor on these list that would like copy of this article (photo of house), contact me.
