GENEALOGIES
from "History of Hartford, Vermont,
July 4, 1761 - April 4, 1889
1889
[Transcribed by Coralynn Brown]
During the compilation of the following family records the author has written at least 500 letters to obtain facts and dates. A large number of these letters, accompanied by return postage, fell into the hands of those who appropriated the stamps, but maintained a careless or impatible silence (there are few forms of ill-breeding more ungracious than this) other letters elicited brief or superficial outlines of family histories, while some brought a large harvest of facts ; but the information obtained was such as should have been found recorded in family Bibles within the town.
The author has endeavored to arrange the following genealogies in such a way that each branch of the family at large, and of every specific family belonging to it, is pursued, from its beginning to its end, by itself ; the antecedent and sequent connections of any individual family being presented in one connected view. This system is regarded by the author as preferable to that of presenting all those belonging to a given generation together in one view, which involves a tedious investigation, as the antecedent and sequent connections of any individual family must be repetitiously sought for one by one. The system observed by the author in the following genealogies is such that no lengthy researches will be necessary in tracing out one's immmediate relatives.
To the careful reader of these genealogies, many points of special interest of a biological and sociological kind will be observed. It will be seen that fewer children are among our native population in modern, than in by-gone days ; that both sexes are shorter-lived than formerly, and that there is a much greater diversification of business at present, as compared with the almost universal uniformity of employment at first in tilling the soil. No longer than sixty years ago there was in one school district in Hartford six families whose total membership, parents and children, was ninety-nine persons, viz :—
David Newton and wife, and 16 children ;
Sylvanus Smith and wife, and 20 children ;
Samuel Dutton and wife, and 16 children ;
Philip Sprague and wife, and 12 children ;
Harvey Gibbs and wife, and 10 children ;
Daniel Benedict Dutton and wife, and 13 children :
number of children, 87. The number of other children in the same district at that time swelled the aggregate to nearly 120. In the same school district, today, in an equal number of families, there are less than 20 children. Sixty years ago, the number of children of school age in the town was about 700. The number of families then in the town was about 300 ; the average number of children of school age to each family being three. Today, there are about 700 families in the town, which have, altogether, not more than 700 children of school age, or an average of one to each family. Eliminating the foreign population, say 100 families, in which the number of children as compared with those of native citizens is as three to one, and we have in 600 families of the native born population but 400 children of school age (5 to 20 years of age). (Query.) How soon will the people of Anglo-Saxon nativity, in this town, be supplanted by other and more prolific races, that are observant of the Divine command—"Be fruitful and multiply "--(Gen. 1.28) ?
The author regrets that the histories of some other families are not among those here presented. It is not, however, the author's fault that other histories are not included. The descendants of some of the early settlers who have been urged to loan written and printed data in their possession, have wantonly or negligently withheld the same, seemingly grudging for a history of themselves and their kindred the moiety of time and effort they bestow upon "trifles light as air."
In conclusion, the author has to say that he feels confident that the long series of earnest efforts made by him to obtain and preserve, through all coming time, the family histories here presented, will be held at a high estimate by those for whose profit and pleasure he has unremittingly labored.
The abbreviations are: b. (born), m. (married), d. (died), unm. (unmarried), ch. (children).
THE BARTHOLOMEW FAMILY
1. WILLIAM BARTHOLOMEW, the emigrant ancestor of the New England family, was born in 1602 or '3, in Burford, Eng. On the 18th of Sept., 1634, he arrived in Boston, in the ship Griffith, with some forty others of his countrym.en. He was soon after made a freeman of Boston, and April 25, 1635, was granted several tracts of land in Ipswich. May 6, 1635, he appeared at the General Court in Boston as the representative of the inhabitants of Ipswich. He had been in America only seven months. He removed from Ipswich to Boston in 1635, and from Boston to Charlestown in 1679, in which city he died Jan. 17, 1680. (1681, new style).

Having received a good education, his services as a teacher of the district schools were always in demand, and he taught no less than twenty-eight terms. During his married life his home was the constant resort of itinerant Methodist clergymen, and he was liberal in support of the church. He was patriotic in principle and action and made a good record in the Revolutionary war, and in that of 1812.

She received an urgent call one dark night following a storm. The invalid was five miles away across White river, which was swollen, deep and swift; there was no means of crossing except to ford it.

THE BUGBEE FAMILY
The written history concerning the Bugbee family, like that of too many families, is meagre, and, to the genealogist, very unsatisfactory.

THE DELANO FAMILY
According to tradition, the emigrant ancestors of the Delano family in this country were Huguenots, who were expelled from France prior to the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, and took refuge in England about 1570; further, that Jonathan Delano, the grandson of one of the refugees, and the emigrant ancestor of this family, when 16 years of age, sat on the walls of London and witnessed the entry of Cromwell and his army into that city a few weeks after the memorable battle of Naseby, June 14, 1646. Afterwards coming to America, Jonathan settled in Windham County, Ct. Of his descendants in the fourth generation, was Jonathan Delano, who emigrated from Connecticut to Hartford, Vt., about 1793.
After his arrival in Hartford, Jonathan bought, June 13, 1793, the home farm of Rowland Powell, Jr., which comprised the farms now owned and occupied by Frederick A. Huse, and his next door neighbor, George H. Savage, who reside on the White River turnpike, about three miles west of Hartford village.
Jonathan Delano was born in 1732. He married Anna Ladd, born in 1734, by whom he
had five sons and four daughters, all born in Tolland, Ct.
Three of his sons. Jabez, Jonathan and Philip, were soldiers in the Revolutionary army. Jabez died in the army. Philip was a captain in the war of 1812. Zebulon and Hibbard, the other sons, came to Hartford with their father in 1793. His daughters, Anna, Esther, Chloe and Margaret, married respectively then named Moxley, Wright, Ingals and Webster. Jonathan, parent, died Sept. 28, 1811; Anna, his wife, died Feb. 11, 1816.
Shortly before his death, Jonathan Delano conveyed his home farm to his son, Zebulon. From the family Bible of Zebulon Delano, I transcribe the following crudely kept record of his family. The date of his marriage is not given:

MARRIAGES

The foregoing record was evidently written by Zebulon Delano. The dates of his first, second and third marriages are not recorded in the family Bible. His first wife was probably the daughter of Rowland Powell, Jr. He married 2nd, Nov. 26, 1818, Widow Polly Marsh, relict of Abraham Marsh, with whom he lived but a short time—(the cause of their separation is not divulged). He married 3rd, Widow Abigail Allen. After her death he married Widow Mary Dodge. He was for many years the overseer of the poor, and also a justice of the peace. On the 12th of Feb., 1847, he sold his home farm to his son, Z. W. Delano, who lived upon it until his death, June 26, 1860.
Zebulon, parent, d. Feb. 24, 1850.

George and Joel A., b. in Richford;
Melvin and Mary, b, in Erie Co., N. Y.;
Stephen, Hannah, Charles, Dennis, David and Josiah, b. in Mt. Auburn, Shelby Co., Ind.;
all dead but Joel A. and Dennis, who live in Grove, Newaygo Co., Mich. I am indebted to Joel A. for valuable facts concerning the Delano family.
Note: Columbus Delano, of Mt. Vernon, 0., who was Secretary of the Interior in Grant's Cabinet, was born in Cambridge, Vt. Milton Delano, M. C. '6th Dist. of N. Y., was also born in Cambridge, Vt. Both are, doubtless, lineal descendants of Jonathan Delano, the emigrant ancestor.
THE DUTTON FAMILY
The Duttons in America are of Saxon nativity. The ancient family of Duttons assumed their surname from the place of their residence--Duntune—now contracted to Dutton, a township lying about five miles east of Frodsham, on the river Wever, in Cheshire. The Duttons in Vermont are descendants of the Duttons who emigrated to New England about 1630, many of whose descendants settled in Connecticut. The Duttons in Hartford are lineal descendants of Thos. Dutton of Wallingford, Ct.
1. THOMAS DUTTON, of Wallingford, Ct., was b. March 1, 1707; was m. May 6. 1799 [transcriber's note: this must be a typo, as children were born to this couple from 1730 to 1753], to Abigail Merriam, b. 1708, died April 6, 1799, in Wallingford; he d. in Royalton, Vt., in 1802. Their children were:

April 14, 1751, d. in Hartford, July 21, 1828; he d. in Hartford, Feb. 22, 1813. Mr. Dutton moved from Woodbury, Ct., to Woodstock, Vt., in 1778, and there bought the home farm of Abraham Powers, which he occupied until 1796, when he removed to Royalton, Vt., where his brother Amasa had already settled. Mr. Dutton was a carpenter and house-joiner by trade. While in Woodstock he carried on farming, and was quite prominent in town affairs. March 28, 1782, he was chosen to be a deacon of the First Congregational church, then called "Mr. Hutchinson's Church." On the 6th of April, 1802, Mr. Dutton bought a 100-acre lot of land in Hartford, of Elias Lawrence, and moved into this town prior to April, 1803. A portion of the land he then bought is now occupied by David D. Hazen. Mr. Dutton died in Hartford, July 21, 1828.

Mr. Dutton was a shoemaker by trade, but after settling in West Hartford about 1833, he engaged in the tanning business for a short time. In 1834 he relinquished this business, sold out to his son Noah, and resumed shoemaking. About 1834, he became infatuated with the Thompsonian system of medicine, and essayed the practice of it for some time, but this lobelia sweating process, pursued by our shoemaker, made such lively work for the undertaker and the sexton, that the self-constituted doctor found it expedient to abandon that avocation. " Let the shoemaker stick to his last !" Mr. Dutton moved to Waterbury, Vt., thence to the west in 1849, but returned to Vermont to the home of his son Thomas in Hyde Park Vt., where he died. He had eighteen children—of these, three only lived in Hartford, viz:
