THE SAVAGE FAMILY
[transcribed by Coralynn Brown ]
   
According to Mr. James Francis Savage, of Lowell, Mass., who published "The Family of John Savage of Middletown, Conn., 1652," there is no knowledge of him antecedent to the Hartford record which reads, "John Savage of Hartford was married to Elizabeth Dubbin ye tenth day of febru : one thousand six hundred and fifty two." In the Middletown Land Records and Family Records the name of his wife is given as Dublin. In 1707 John Dublin petitioned the General Assembly of Rhode Island that he might receive some allowance for the shot he received in his head while engaged with Col. John Wanton, in the capture of French privateers. He was granted a pension for the term of his natural life. That he may have been a nephew of Mrs. John Savage is the conclusion of Mr. James Francis Savage.
1. John1 Savage was " mayd free " May 18, 1654, by the Great and General Court, at which time he had built his house in Middletown Upper Houses on the lot at the corner as indicated in the 1675 map. His homestead of three acres was the nearest to lower Middletown. When William Blomfield left the settlement Mr. Savage became the proprietor of his house and lot, the Martin homestead intervening. He soon extended his possessions to the adjoining lands, and received grants in various localities so that in 1674 he possessed 1207 acres, of which 441 acres were on the east side of the Connecticut river. His name is seventh in the list of members who organized the church on Sept. 4, 1668. He was one of the three Townsmen in 1667, and held the rank of
Sergeant in the traine band." His will, recorded in Hartford, shows that he died Mar. 6, 1684-5, and is dated November 22, 1684. He gave the " Dwelling hous hom loft " and other property. during her natural life, to his " Louing wife Elizabeth Sauedg " ; made valuable bequests to his sons, John, William and Nathaniel, the homestead going to the latter after his mother's death, and provided that certain pieces of property and his household goods " be Left in my Louing Wive's hands to Despose of to all my Daughters according to her best Descrection & the advice of my overseers notwithstanding my will is which was before forgot that my two Coults if they come to hand be the bigest to William & the youngest to Nathaniel and to poses them as sone as they can find them. "The will is in the hand-writing of Nathaniel White, and it was witnessed by him and by Samuel Hall, who resided across the street. The inventory was taken by Giles Hamlin, Sergeant William Ward and Nathaniel White and to it is added :

11. Timothy5 Savage (Josiah4, William3. William2. John1), b. Jan. 24, 1769, Upper Houses ; m. Nov. 26, 1789, Sarah Collins, b. July 23, 1769, Upper Houses, dau. of Johns Collins (prob. Daniels, Samuel', Samuel3, Sergeant Samuel2, Dea. Edward') and Sarahs White, widow of Freeman Gross, Jr. (John', Jacobi, Capt. Nathaniel2, Elder John'). At fifteen years of age he began his shipping career and at twenty-one was master and owner of a vessel. He suffered large losses by the French, 1798-1800. He built several houses in the lower (original) village of Upper Houses and in 1816 he built a brick mansion on the site of the homestead of John Warner (son of the John who settled on the Robert Webster place), but which passed from his possession as he had endorsed the notes of a firm in New York and Philadelphia with whom he had business relations. This firm failed when Capt. Savage was absent on a voyage in the West Indies, and his property, including this house, was taken to pay their debts. He then retired from the seas and went to Wilmington, N. C., where, for a number of years, he was engaged in the West India shipping business in partnership with the British consul there. He finally retired from business and returned to the Upper Houses, where his wife d. July 29, 1844. He d. Nov. 1, 1849. Their cemetery lot is enclosed with an ornate iron fence. He was an original member of the Baptist church and its first clerk. In the last year of his life he united with the Middletown Universalist church. His portrait adorns the Life Certificate of the Society of Middletown Upper Houses. He was engaged for some years in an effort to be reimbursed for his losses by the French. The following is an extract from a letter he wrote to the Hon. Samuel Foote, on Mar. 10, 1830:
Sir.—I perceive that a report and a bill will be presented to the Senate in relation to Spoliation committed by the French on American commerce prior to the 3001 of Sept., 1800. I have entire confidence in the wisdom of the Senate and feel assured that proper provision will be made for the sufferers by these spoliations; but as the losses consequent upon them were the origin of my pecuniary embarrassment for the last thirty years, as well as those of many of my mercantile friends, permit me to state," etc.
One of these vessels was the Henry and Gustavus. owned by him and Robert Johnson, which was captured when his brother Giles was its master and Joseph Ranney was mate. The owners valued the horses and oxen at $1,200, and other freight at $1,500.

In a sketch of his younger days, Timothy Savage writes of his mother: "She was a woman of great energy of character and unbounded benevolence. She used to say, 'If I swear to my hurt, I will stick to it.' She was very handsome; her eyes were brown, but when very old she became blind, and was burnt to death, her apron catching alight in the open hearth when no one was at hand."
During the Revolution his father, Josiah Savage, was frequently called out in the militia, and as the elder boys, Luther and Josiah, Jr., enlisted into the Continental Army to fight the battles of their country, "at times," writes Timothy " I was the only man left at home to look after the family. These were the times that tried men's souls and women's, too. I remember that my mother, and some of the neighboring women, being entirely destitute of any sugar or any kind of sweetening, went to a small field of corn, cut it, stripped the leaves from the stalk, carried it to a mill, and ground out the juice, each taking a portion, which they boiled. It was like molasses; and we all enjoyed it on our puddings if we could get meal to make them." One day when Timothy Savage was about nine (i. e. 1778), an officer from some camp near asked his mother if she knew of anyone to carry an important message to the camp, then at Wethersfield. She said. " No, I do not, unless this little boy would do," referring to Timothy. After awhile the officer gave him the letter and told him what to do when he reached the camp. The letter was buttoned under his jacket and after dark he set out on the only horse the Army had left them, which was lame in one leg and blind in one eye, or perhaps both. The ride was something like ten miles long, and in telling the story when he was over seventy, he used to say he had never forgotten how long and dark it seemed. But he went on bravely and reached the camp in safety. Here he was kindly treated by all the officers and men. His brothers, Luther, about eighteen, and Josiah, about seventeen, were there too. When an answer to the letter had been prepared he carried it back, meeting with no mishap by the way.
Ten months before he was twenty-one he was married to Sarah Collins, of whom he writes: "In my wife I found a treasure, more valuable than gold or silver in all our subsequent life. Not overelated in prosperity or depressed in adversity, both of which we have experienced together."

Professor Chase was the son of Isaac Chase and Sarah Bond. Isaac was b. in Sutton, Mass., 1761, of Newbury stock and served in the Revolution. Irah Chase entered Middlebury College, Vt., 1811, graduating 1814, with highest honors of his class. In 1817 he graduated from Andover Theological Seminary. He was first appointed missionary to the region of Taze's Valley, Kanawa Co., West Virginia; afterward became a professor at Philadelphia, and thence was transferred to Columbian College,. Washington, D. C., where he was for two years acting president. It was here his son Henry Savage Chase was born. In 1823 Prof. Chase was sent abroad.; attending lectures in Edinborough, Halle, Bonn and Gottingen. In 1833 the Board sent him again to Europe to decide about undertaking work in Paris. From 1825 to 1845 he threw his whole energy into establishing the Newton (Mass.), Theological Institution, of which he was one of the founders and the first professor.

Henry Savage Chase entered a store in Boston as an errand boy at the age of twelve or thirteen and with his earnings entered Phillips Academy, Andover, where he came under the strong influence of Samuel Taylor, the "Dr. Arnold of America," and was graduated in 1844. He then set about working his way through Harvard, but in his junior year left college and assumed the responsibility of providing a home for his father's household. Shortly after, about 1850, his early ventures in the flour line led to the starting of his bag business. Into this practically new field he carried an energy, soundness of judgment, and absolute integrity which brought it to a foremost position. He afterwards associated his brother Lincoln with him under the firm name of H. & L. Chase. At the same time he continued reading for his degree at Harvard, which he received out of course, his comrades of the Class of 1848 showing their appreciation meanwhile by choosing him Secretary, an office he filled until his death. Most happily married in 1852, his home was his joy, yet his ready sympathy was not confined to its limits, his warm heart finding its natural expression in upholding and cherishing church, family and friends. Beloved and trusted beyond the common let, his death called forth a singularly united tribute to his Christian life and character.

His life, many-sided and full of expression, ran with vigor and zest from the start. Educated in the Brookline schools, he graduated from Harvard in 1876, where he had taken high rank, becoming like his father, Secretary of his Class. He at once married and entered his father's business, which, later, owing to the death of the senior members of the firm, he conducted alone with marked success. In addition to his business life, he took an active interest in developing the State Militia, being unsparing of both his time and means. He wrote a handbook on marksmanship and was himself qualified as a sharpshooter and served as a member of the Massachusetts Creedmore Team in 1887-9, and as State Inspector-General of Rifle Practice on the Governor's staff through several successive terms. His character, temperament and business capacity led him to be sought in the councils of many corporate bodies and at the time of his death he was president of the Papyrus Club, Boston; The Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the Revolution; of the Victoria Mills Corporation of Newburyport; and by recent election of the Commercial Club of Boston; vice-president of the State Street Safe Deposit and Trust Company, Boston; Director of the Boston Wharf Co.; a State Director of the Fitchburg Rail-road Co.; and Director of the Third National Bank, Boston. A Trustee of the Church Home for Orphans and Destitute Children, and of the Society for Relief of Widows and Orphans of Deceased Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He was also a member of the Metropolitan Park Commission, and of the Somerset Club, Boston.
The latter years of his life were passed in the house built by his father in 1860 in the immediate neighborhood of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Brookline, of which church he was junior warden, as his father had been senior warden before him. Falling early into the position of guide and helper, as his father's successor, he manifested a kindliness of heart which endeared him to a wide circle. At his death St. Paul's Parish placed a tablet to his memory appropriately inscribed : " Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
