AMOS SHEFFIELD CHESEBROUGH was born in Stoning- ?ton, Conn., August 22d, 1813, the son of Enoch Stanton ?Chesebrough and Sally Sheffield, the daughter of Amos ?and Sally (Goddard) Sheffield. My father was the fifth ?in descent from William Chesebrough, who sailed from ?Cowes with Gov. John Winthrop's company in 1630, and ?was one of the founders of Boston. He was the first ?white man who made Stonington his permanent abode, ?having removed thither in the summer of 1649. My ?father's grandmother was Bridget Noyes, the wife of Dea. ?Nathan Chesebrough, and the grand-daughter of Rev. ?James Noyes, the first pastor of the first church in ?Stonington, and one of the founders of Yale College. ?His name heads the roll of its corporators. ?I have little to tell of my early days. I have been informed ?by my mother, that when the British fleet made ?its attack upon Stonington in August, 1814, she carried ?me, then a year old, in her arms, my father being absent, ?some two miles to a farm house for safety. A large quantity ?of household furniture, especially feather beds, were ?taken to the same house from the endangered village, ?and the beds were piled one upon another on the family ?bedsteads. It was given to my mother with the baby to ?sleep upon the top of one of these stacks of bedding, the ?issue of which was that the class of '35 came very near ?having been minus one of its members. Providence, ?however, so ordered it that .when the baby was picked up ?from the floor to wh1ch he had suddenly gravitated in ?the middle of the night, the breath of life was found to ?be in him, so that he not only survived the dangers to ?which he was exposed from a foreign foe, but those also ?which threatened him nearer home.
I was placed, when quite a small boy, under the tuition ?of John Kirby, an Irishman, and a graduate of Dublin ?College. At the age of fourteen I was prepared to enter ?college. But my father not feeling able to meet the ?expenses of a college course, I turned aside to begin the ?study of medicine with our village physician. I soon, ?however, left the doctor's office to become a clerk in a ?large drug store in New York. This business not proving ?congenial, I returned after a year to my previous ?position, which I retained until my entire life-plan was so ?changed that I decided to consecrate myself to the service ?of Christ in the ministry. This was in the spring of ?the year 1831. In the autumn of the next year I joined ?the Sophomore class in Yale College, and graduated ?in 1835. ?The value of the jura et privilegia of my baccalaureate, ?conferred by our revered President Day when he gracefully ?tipped his beaver to me on the stage at Commencement, ?was first practically tested in the discharge of the ?duties of Principal of Hopkins' Academy, Hadley, Mass., ?upon which I entered soon after graduation. After holding ?this position for a year, I took charge of the.academy ?at Westfield, Mass. ?I entered upon a course of study in theology at the ?seminary in New Haven in the fall of 1837, which was ?completed in 1840. After receiving a license to preach, ?there was extended to me a call to settle as pastor of the ?Congregational Church in Shrewsbury, Mass., which I ?did not deem it expedient to accept. During my novitiate, ?I spent two or three months in soliciting funds in ?behalf of indigent students in the academical department ?of Yale. The amount raised was $10,000, of which about ?two-thirds were given as scholarships of $500 each. ?In May, 1841, I was invited to supply the pulpit of the ?Congregational Church in Chester, Conn., where, on the ?1st of December following, I was ordained and installed ?as pastor. During the latter part of my ministry there ?I became greatly interested in the Bushnell controversy, ?then in progress, and my interest culminated in the prep-
aration of a series of articles for the Religious Herald ?upon the points in dispute, signed " CC." They were ?subsequently reprinted in pamphlet form as the contributions ?of " Criticus Criticorum." Doctor Bushnell, ?who was then lying under the charge of heresy, doubtless ?exaggerated their value when he declared that they " ?saved his head." In the spring of 1851, I had a severe ?attack of congestion of the brain, the result of which was ?that my very happy relations to this church and people ?were terminated on the 1st of January, 1853. ?My home was now removed to Stonington, where I ?assisted my father in mercantile occupations, and eventually ?in bringing his business to a close, he being quite advanced ?in life. In the course of a year I began to preach ?again. For a longer or a shorter time I served the ?churches in North Stonington, West Meriden and Meri- ?den Center, but finding that study and responsibility ?brought back the brain trouble, I determined to try an ?ocean voyage and an European pedestrian tour. Accordingly, ?early in 1857, I embarked in a packet ship for ?London. The long passage improved my health, and ?when I returned from my travels in December I found ?that my bodily energies were fully restored. ?In the following spring I received a call to the first ?Church of Glastonbury, Conn, and was installed there on ?the I4th of July, 1858, but my health gave way again ?after ten very active and happy years, and I was dismissed ?from my charge Nov. I2th, 1868. ?While residing in Glastonbury I wrote a book on Home ?Evangelization, which was published by the American ?Tract Society of Boston, in 1865, with an " Introduction " ?by Dr. Leonard Bacon. It had a wide circulation. ?At the time of my dismission from the church in Glastonbury, ?I was under a dark cloud. My own health was ?greatly impaired by overtaxation, my wife was an invalid ?and my second daughter was in a debilitated state from ?diphtheria. Immediately on our taking up our residence ?in Hartford, this daughter was attacked with lung fever, ?from which she never fully recovered. She passed away
to the better land, Feb. 7th, 1870, at the age of twenty- ?five. While residing in Hartford, a period of about two ?years, I received a flattering invitation to supply the pulpit ?of the Congregational Church in Jacksonville, Illinois. ?But I felt obliged for reasons of health, to decline that ?invitation, as well as a call to the Congregational Church ?in Plymouth, Conn. At length, however, I assumed the ?charge of the old church in Vernon, Conn., the duties ot ?which, not being onerous, I felt able to meet. My ministry ?there extended from February, 1871, to April, 1876, ?when I removed to Durham, where I am greatly enjoying ?my ministry with the church which had had our ?classmate Charles L. Mills for its pastor from April, 1841, ?to September, 1845. ?I was married, Nov. 16th, 1841, to Harriet, eldest ?daughter of the late George H. Chapman, Esq., of Old ?Saybrook, Conn., who was a lineal descendant of one of ?the first settlers of the town, and whose grounds have ?been in possession of the family about two hundred and ?fifty years. With respect to the qualities of my wife, I ?need only to say that I regard it as the misfortune of my ?classmates that, with seven or eight exceptions, thev have ?never made her acquaintance. I have had three children, ?two daughters and a son, all born in Chester. My eldest ?daughter, Sarah Lucia, born August 21st, 1842, was married ?in Glastonbury, Dec. 2d, 1863, to Capt. Henry R. ?Jones, then in the U. S. Veteran Reserve Corps. He held ?his command till the close of the war, and was then ?appointed a first lieutenant in the First Regiment U. S. ?Infantry. On account of the effects of a wound received ?at Antietam, he was, not long since, honorably retired ?from the service. They are residing in New Hartford ?and have four daughters, a son having died. My second ?daughter, Hattie Chapman, born Jan. 1st, 1845, died in ?Hartford, Feb. 7, 1870. My son, Sheffield, born July 16th, ?1847, was married Oct. I4th, 1879, to Julia, daughter of ?Albert G. Clark, Esq., of Toledo, Ohio, and is now in ?business in St. Louis. He has no children. ?As to literary productions which have found their way
into print, in addition to those already referred to, there ?is little or nothing worthy of mention. A sermon on " ?Christian Politics," a few papers prepared by appointment ?of the General Association, and the General Conference ?of Connecticut, and several articles contributed to ?the New Englander, are all that need be specified. ?I was elected a member of the Corporation of Yale ?College in 1875, being the fourth pastor of this First ?Church of Durham who has received this honor. The ?names of the others are, Rev. Nathaniel Chauncey, in ?1746; Rev. Doct. Elizur Goodrich, in 1770; and Rev. ?Doct. David Smith, in 1821. ?As regards my plans for the future, they are simply ?these: to continue my ministerial work, if the Lord will, ?till I am seventy years old, and then to serve my generation ?as best I may, until I fall on sleep. My days seem ?brightening as I grow older, and my hope is, that through ?the Divine mercy no dark clouds will obscure them, but ?that they may be eventually absorbed into the day that ?never declines. | Rev. Amos Sheffield CHESEBROUGH

“On June 24, 1764, he owned the Covenant and had his two children baptized. He was a farmer, and on the first call for troops in April 1775, to resist the British aggressions he enlisted in Third Company, Sixth Regiment, under Col. Samuel H. Parsons, Connecticut troops as a private; was discharged Dec 10, 1775; enlisted again in Durkee’s Regiment; was taken prisoner Nov 16, 1776, on the surrender of Fort Washington, New York island, with 2828 other soldiers, under ----Magan. After his return home, he enlisted a third time in the Fifth Company of the Fourth battalion of State troops; was made ensign and served under Gen. Spencer in Rhode Island. He continued in the Army until near the close of the War.
In the settlement of his Estate his heirs, through the mismanagment and bad advice of the administrator, Amos Denison, Esq., became involved in a long and expensive lawsuit, which so wasted the fine estate that nothing remained to the family but the widow’s sdower. His youngest son Charles Grandison, never married, but cultivated what was left of the old homestead, living with his mother, who died at the age of 87, and his sisters Keturah, Prudence and Mary.”

He was a shipwright and civil engineer. He was for years a friend of King Phillip (the Indian Chief). In June of 1675, at the start of the war with King Phillip, two of Hugh Cole's sons were made prisoners by the Indians and taken to Phillip at Mount Hope. Phillip ordered them set free because Hugh Cole had always been his friend. He sent word to Hugh that he could no longer restrain his warriors, and for him to take his family and immediately go to Rhode Island for safety. Hugh did this, and one hour later his house was in flames. While he had been on such friendly terms with Phillip, his was the first house burned and a Gershom Cole was the first person killed. He was a sergeant in the war against King Phillip. After the close of the war in 1677, he returned to Swansea and built a house. The well walled by him on the bank of the Kickemuit River is still there. Part of the land owned by him is now a part of Warren, Rhode Island. He is buried at the south extreme of Meadow Neck, now Howland Meadow, Tyler Point Cemetery in Barrington.
Hugh was born in London in 1627. His father, James, was from London and his mother, Mary Lobel was from Lille, France. Hugh married Mary Foxwell on 8 Jan 1654 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Richard Foxwell and Ann Shelley of Kent Co. England.
Hugh Cole School is in Warren, RI. PK-grade 5
bulletHugh COLE I was born on 29 Jun 1628 in Barnstaple, Devonshire, England. He died on 22 Jan 1699 in Swansea, Bristol Co., Massachusetts. He was Historical Notes 1657 to 1698 in Massachusetts.(51) Hugh came with his father to Plymouth, Mass., in 1633 and was admitted as freeman in 1657. The following appears in the Plymouth records: "Apl. 8 1634, It was agreed with James Cole that his son Hugh shall keep the Cowes from Apl. 15 to November, and shall have for his pay fifty bushels of corn. He shall bring them up every morning to be milked and then carry back to feed and bring them home at night."
He was made surveyor of highways at Barnstable, and granted 100 acres of land at Acushauett. In 1667 with others he purchased of King Phillip 500 acres of land on the west bank of what was named for him Coles River. He was a shipwright and civil engineer, and many of the tracts of land of Swansea were surveyed by him. he was a slectman of Swansea for many years, and was representative and deputy to the general court in the years, 1773, '74, '75, '80, '83, '84, '85, '86, and '89. He was for years the friend of King Phillip (the Indian chief). Having veen requested by the Plymouth Colony Council to visit King Phillip and report the conditions made the following report:
"Swansea, Apl. 1, 1671. Most Honorable Sirs: --Yours I received this day whereby I perceive you desire to know what posture the Indians are in. I do not find them to continue in a posture of war as they have been. I went to Mount Hope last second day on purpose to see their proceedings and was in many of their houses, but saw nothing as intending to war. But asking them of their reason of continuing together at Mt. Hope, they answered, it was to see Phillip's child buried, and I have seen some return, but the greater part of them are together. And they ghave as the reason, because the wind does so blow against them that they cannot go home with their canoes -- not else. Rest assured I am yours to command what I am able.
"Hugh Cole."
"Oct. 27, 1669."
Hugh Cole was granted fifty acres of land lying between Manneonest Point and the Salt Marsh with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging, unto him and his heirs forever. (Page 149, vol. 3, Plymouth Records.) He was granted by the court respecting his father's grant, he being an ancient freeman. Six score acres of land between the Mattapoiset River and the bounds of Acushassett.
In June, 1675, at the commencement of the war with King Phillip, two of Hugh Cole's sons were made prisoners by the Indians and taken to Phillip at Mount Hope.

He sent word to Hugh that he could no longer restrain his warriors, and for him to take his family and immediately remove to Rhode Island. This he did, and one hour afterward his home was in flames. While he had been on such friendly terms with Phillip, his was the first house burned, and Gershom Cole was the first person killed. After leaving his home Hugh Cole located at Portsmouth, R.I. The town records of Portsmouth show that, Oct. 12 1675, Hugh Cole was granted liverty to use some of the windfalls that are down to build a small frame, and to make wheels for the use of the townsmen for their money. Savage says: "Hugh was a segeant in the war against King Phillip." After the war in his election as representative he is always spoken of as sergeant. After the close of the war, 1677, he returned to Swansea and built a house a few rods from where Miss Abby Cole now lives. The well walled by him on the bank of the Kickemuit River is still there. This part of the land has descended by will, no deed having been made for it; it has never passed out of possession of the Cole family and is now owned by Miss Abby Cole. Part of the land owned by him in Swansea is now a part of Warren, R.I.

Benjamin first built the Curtis mills on the Third Herring Brook. [Samuel Deane, "History of Scituate, Massachusetts, from its First Settlement to 1831."]
The Curtis Mills on the Third Herring Brook were built in part as early as 1688, when Benjamin built a sawmill, and later a grist mill. They were known at one time as the Clapp and Curtis Mills, Constant Clapp having been part owner. Served as Selectman. Lived in the house on the corner of Main and Union Streets, Hanover.
"Honey has always been a luxury of the wilderness. Benjamin found bee trees in the forest. These were generally hollow lindens or butternuts, and were easily felled. He would not only secure the honey, generally a hundred pounds, but would capture the bees and hive them for domestic purposes. If the queen was secured, the swarm would settle down to work in the old cone-shaped straw hive, and add largely to the home comforts. In those early days at least half of the settlers had a few swarms, and occasionally some one would accumulate a hundred. After the honey had been extracted it was kept in jars, and the wax was melted. This constituted one of the first articles of commerce from a frontier home. He would climb to the top of a forty-foot ladder and brush a swarm into a pan and come down with it, unstung. But woe to the mortal whom the bees by some instinct failed to like! Not recognizing the Mosaic Sabbath, they would swarm when the family ought to be at church. It was necessary to leave one at home, who in case the bees came out hung a sheet from the chamber window. The good man at church was kept from going asleep over the thirty-ninthlies by looking out for the possible flag. Every swarm was worth ten bushels of corn."
