DAMON FAMILY

The Damon families of Chesterfield have as their common ancestor, John Damon of Scituate, but to make the genealogy more interesting to follow, they have been arranged as three separate families. Manuscript records are available in the Worcester Antiquarian Society Library which give detailed information on all the early branches. Some of this information has been used in addition to all the records of this town and some from surrounding towns.

2. PEREZ7 GRAVES (Perez6 5, Elnathan4, John3, Isaac2, Thomas1), b. 27 Mar. 1787, d. 27 Dec. 1839; m. 26 Sept. 1812, Sarah Coffin, b. in Edgartown, 19 Aug. 1789.

Quoting from an article written by William Bancroft and printed in the Hampshire Gazette, 4 April 1890: "Perez -- I well remember as a diminutive specimen of an hilarious oldtimer. This distinguished citizen hailed from Williamsburg, through his ancestry. He worked for my father, occasionally, during my boyhood and he was always addressed as simply "Pea". I remember hearing him tell that, when his grandfather was buried in Williamsburg, at his funeral the minister, "Old Parson Lord" I think, began the exercises by giving out this comforting composition of Watts:

Behold the aged sinner goes

Laden with guilt and heavy woes

Down to the regions of the dead

With endless curses on his head.

"Pea" died in Dec. 1839, during a protracted and terrible snow storm. A week after, I was one of a team of men and boys that hauled his corpse to the grave on a "cutter bottom". "Pea's" widow, well, she was a widow who looked ahead, sometimes. Deacon Rufus Burnell lived in her neighborhood. He had buried his wife, a saintly woman, three weeks before. While "Pea" was still unburied the good deacon called to offer his sympathy and assistance. The widow was in distress for both, and to prove the depth of her loss she tearfully inquired of the deacon if his wife, before her long anticipated death, had said anything about his taking a second wife."

THOMAS HATHAWAY

Mimeographed sheets distributed by the Hathaway Family Association to its members show that Daniel6 Hathaway, b. 22 April 1745; m. (int. 30 July 1768), Mary Borden, was son of Benjamin5 (Thomas4, Abraham3, John2, Nicholas1) and Abigail (Eddy) Hathaway. Benjamin5 Hathaway was of Bridgewater when he m. 22 Nov. 1743, Abigail Eddy of Halifax. She was b. 13 March 1725, dau. of Benjamin4 (Obadiah3, Samuel2, William1) and Abigail (Hathaway) Eddy.

Benjamin5 must have died soon after his son Daniel6 was born, for the Berkley Church Records contain the marriage of the widow Abigail Hathaway, 17 May 1747, to Timothy Ingraham. Abigail and Timothy Ingrim signed the deeds with Daniel6 Hathaway of Freetown and his wife, Mary, 15 May 1770, conveying property where his grandmother, Hannah (Briggs) Hathaway, lived with his cousin, Jemima, spinster.

Daniel6 Hathaway was apparently alive as late as August 1775, for the Pelham History, page 347, states "that fifteen additional Pelham men, including Daniel Hathaway, were dispatched to the seat of war near Boston under Capt. David Cowden in Col. Benj. Ruggles Woodbridge's regiment". No death record of Daniel has been found, but the Vital Records of Pelham include the marriage intention of Mary Hathaway, 12 July 1777, to Daniel There of Chesterfield. He was from Braintree and probably returned there.

We can infer that Thomas Hathaway came to Chesterfield with his mother; that he remained here with his cousin, Timothy Engram (son of Timothy Ingraham, who m. (1) 10 Jan. 1739/40, in Berkley, Jemima5 Hathaway, sister of Benjamin5 above). That Chesterfield sent a man to Pelham and to Free-town in search of help for his family during his (Timothy's) long and fatal illness, is in keeping with the above; that his father had died when he was young, and his grandfather died when his father was young, would explain why touch was lost with other Hathaways during this time.

In 1955, Rev. Edward Williams, Canon of Albany, N. Y., sent for our Chesterfield records, a copy of a transcript of the Family Bible of John House and Lydia Rhodes from which the following was copied:

"The Bible from which these records were copied was doubtless the wedding gift of John House, 3rd, when he was married to Lydia Rhodes in 1800. They were of Chesterfield, Mass., where they resided at least as late as October 1823, when two of their daughters were admitted to the Church. Perhaps the next year the family removed, settling at Thomson, O., in the Western Reserve. The Bible passed to the only son, John House, 4th, who married a Jane Electa Moseley, who had been born at Peru, Mass., but whose family had moved first to Mentor, O., then to Thomson. John and Jane Electa lived for a time in Leroy, O., then in Painesville, O. The Bible was there, left by them to their daughter Elizabeth (Mrs. Thomas Baldwin) who made the original transcription of the record, Aug. 28th, 1902, from which the following copy is derived. Shortly afterward it was given by her to her brother, the Rev. John Henry House, D.D., the noted Congregational missionary to Turkey and the Balkans. He was then residing at Salonica, Greece, being the founder and principal of the American Farm School there. When James Hall, at the school, burned in 1915 the Bible was lost. It had narrowly escaped destruction, for in the 1820s, when its original owner was travelling as a pioneer to the Western Reserve in two Conestoga wagons, they were following the shore line of Lake Erie when a sudden and severe lake storm came up. The waters rose so fast that only one of ��
