606 "In the year 1066, de Gaga, de Gauga, or de Gage accompanied William the Conquerer from Normandy into England, and after aiding in the Conquest, was rewarded with large grants of land in the forest of Dean, in the county of Gloucester, near which forest he resided. He erected a seat in Clerenwell or Clarewell, and built a large mansion in Chichester. He died in Chichester, and was buried in the abbey in that place. His descendants resided in that vicinity many generations.

In 1630 John Gage, of Stoneham, Suffolk Co., England, emigrated to America, landing at Salem, Mass., June 12, 1630. He seems to have first settled in Boston, where he was a member of the First ChristChurch, but in 1633 he became one of the first proprietors of Ipswich, Mass. He removed to Rowley, Mass., in 1664, where he died, in 1673. He had two wives, and according to one account, three. He had eight children, five of his sons being children of his first wife. (Anna)"

John Gage, his second son, emigrated to America, landing at Salem, Mass., June 12,1630. It is generally believed that he emigrated from Stoneham, Suffolk Co., although one authority says that he wasfrom Groton, in the same country. He came in company with one of the Winthrops, and others of character and influence. They were members of the Massachusetts Bay Company, which founded Boston, Salem,and other cities in that vicinity. They were not driven from home by poverty nor prosecution, but came in search of better opportunities than their native country afforded. He went at once to Boston,where, we have reason to suppose, he remained for a time. Boston was founded that year, (1630) and his name appears on the records of the First-Church, as one of the members.

In company with John Winthrop jr. and eleven others, he settled Ipswich, Mass, in 1633. It was then known as Agawam. He lived in Ipswich until 1664, when he removed to Rowley, near by, where he died In 1673. He was an influential citizen, and it is recorded that he held office in both Ipswich and Rowley. Some expressions in his will lead us to believe that he was a man of strong religious convictions. He had two wives, and, according to some authorities, three. By his first wife, Anna, (who died in Ipswich in June 1658) he had five sons. In November following the death of his wife, he marriedSarah, widow of Robert Keyes. One account says that she survived him, while another states that he married, for his third wife, Mary Keyes, in Feb. 1663, who died Dec. 20, 1668. The "History of Newbury, Mass." states that "Sara Gage, widow, died July 7, 1680." This may have led some to suppose that Sarah,. 2nd wife of John Gage, survived him; but this is not a necessary conclusion. Three of John Gage's sons married wives bearing the name of Sarah. Two of these wives undoubtedly lived until a later date than 1680, the date of the death of the widow Sara Gage of Newbury, but Sarah Stickney, whomarried Samuel Gage in 1674, is not accounted for by any of our records. She may have been the widow Sara Gage who died in Newbury in 1680. The fact that the date of his third marriage is given, and also the precise date of his third wife's death, lead us to believe that the report of a third marriage was a reality.

(II) John Gage, of Stoneham, Suffolk county, England, second son of Sir John Gage, migrated to America, landing at Salem, Massachusetts, in the summer of 1630. He was one of the first proprietors of Ipswich, Massachusetts; he removed later to Rowley, and died there in the year 1673.

Washington

Josephine M. Walker, wife of Charles E. Walker, and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Gage, passed away Jan. 9, at the age of 43 years and 3 months.

Mrs. Walker had a long and lingering illness. At times she would rally and would seem better, which gave her friends encouragement that she would recover. Everything was done that that a fond and loving husband, parents and sister could do to alleviate her sufferings and restore her health. But slowly and surely she faded from their view. Josie was born in Wilton, N.H., Oct. 28, 1850. She came with her parents to this town when a small child where the most of her life has been spent. She was united in marriage to Charles E. Walker of East Washington by Rev. Mr. Hooper of Goshen, April 12, 1881, at her father's home. Mr. Walker took his bride to his home at East Washington, where the first two years of their life were spent. From there business called them to Somerville, Mass. While livingthere Josie united with the Free Will Baptist church, of which her husband was a member. Josie possessed many talents, which served to make a true lady. Never from her lips escaped a slanderous word.Quiet and unassuming, generous and kind to all, she easily made friends wherever she went, and consequently had a large circle of them. While quite young she took the position of organist in the Congregational church, a position which she always filled when in town till ill health caused her absence. She had a sweet voice, which added much to the interest of the exercises, not only in church but at all our social gatherings. Josie was the one we could not spare and the place which is made vacant by her death cannot easily be filled in the church and hearts of the people. She loved her Sunday school and enjoyed instructing the scholars. She was a kind, affectionate wife, a devoted daughter and loving sister and to her little niece, Bessie, she was greatly attached. And while they mourn herloss they may rejoice in the thought that she has only gone to that blessed home where sorrow never comes and the dear Savior sits enthroned in light and love and will welcome them when they too reach the Better Land.

The funeral occurred Friday. The services at her home commenced by singing, "Gathering Home," by a male quartet, the Fransworth brothers and F.P. Newman, which was finely rendered. Rev. Mr. Dowden offered prayer, spoke words of consolation and read a beautiful poem, a song, "In the Hollow of His Hand," which was one of Josie's favorite pieces, and concluded the services here. John L. Safford was conductor. The bearers were relatives, Oscar H. Wiley, Dr. Geo. N. Gage, Hiram J. Gage and John Wood. The deceased rested in her beautiful casket so peacefully, the words came to us as we saw her for the last time "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." The floral offerings were costly and beautiful, and consisted in part of cut flowers from husband, parent, sister and niece. A purse of money was raised through the efforts of Mrs. John L. Safford, by friends in the village, and flowers were purchased as a token of love for her. There were many other floral offerings. The funeral cortege went from here to East Washington, where services were held at the Baptist church. Rev. Mr. Cooksley spoke from words to be found in John 17, 28. Rev. Mr. Dowden assisted in the services. The hymns sung by the choir were "Jesus, Lover of my Soul," and to close, Since Thy Father's Arm Sustains Thee." G. W. Carr was conductor. More flowers were given at East Washington and acts of kindness and sympothy were bestowed on the mourning friends. Interment took place in the new part of the cemetery at East Washington.

614 "Pierce, son of Daniel Gage, began married life in Pelham, and after the death of his first wife, married Eunice Eaton, and continued to reside in Pelham until 1789, when he removed to Wilton, where he died July 14, 1821, aged 80 years."

PIERCE GAGE, third child of Daniel and Ruth Gage, was born in Pelham, N. H., March 29, 1741, and was a resident of that town until 1789. In common with his brothers, Abner, Daniel, and David, he endured the hardships of a soldier's life during the Revolution. According to the "History of Wilton," he was enrolled Sept. 26, 1776, and was a member of a company commanded by Capt. David Runnels, in Col. Tush's regiment, which was raised toserve in New York. He brought home from the war a very long musket, which, tradition says, he picked up beside the dead body of a British soldier. The gun was preserved many years, and possibly is still in the possession of the family at Wilton. He was three times married, and all his children were born in Pelham. His first wife was Mary Bodwell, of Methuen, Mass., whom he married in 1764; the exact date is not at hand, but they were "published" Nov. 13, 1764, and their marriage must have taken place very soon afterward. She was the mother of seven children, and died Sept. 23, 1781, in her forty-second year. His second wife was Eunice Eaton, of Haverhill, Mass. They were "published" Sept. 2, 1782. She was a daughter of Jonathan and Jane (Page) Eaton, and was born in Haverhill Jan. 5, 1743. She was the mother of two children, and died in her'44th year, April 13, 1786, six days after the birth of her second child, who took her name.

His third wife was Susannah Noyes of Andover, Mass. They were "published" Jan. 8, 1787. She was his companion the remainder of his life, and, though she never bore him children, she must have been a very loving and affectionate step-mother, judging from the description given of her by some of the grandchildren. In 1789, the year which was made memorable by the first inauguration of Washington, and by the outbreak of the French Revolution, Pierce Gage removed from Pelham to Wilton, N. II., where he established a home. He bought a farm of Moses Noyes, in that part of Wilton known as Abbott Hill. The farm had previously been owned by a man by the name of Ballard, who is supposed to have been the original settler on the place. The farm had probably been cleared but a few years, and presented a rather rough and back-woods appearance. There was a house standing, which, though greatly altered and improved, remains a neat and comfortable dwelling to this day. The remainder of his life was spent on this place, where he died July 14, 1821 His wife survived him ten years, dying May 3, 1831, at the age of ninety years.

Pierce Gage was one of the eleven original members of the Baptist Church in Wilton, which was organized April 7, 1817. He was a man of great conscientiousness, and tried to exemplify in his daily life the doctrines of Christianity. He was a man of genuine neighborly qualities, and as such was long remembered.

An anecdote serves to give us a better idea of his character. He was a man of impulsive nature, and, like such, liable sometimes to act hastily. While engaged in repairing the highways, in company with others, the conversation turned to the subject of politics. He became excited, and even angry, and used harsh language to a neighbor who held different views ; he went home at night, but the thought of his conduct troubled him ; he retired at night, but could not rest ; he rose from his bed and, in the darkness of night, went to his neighbor, acknowledged his mistake, and sought reconciliation.

The home which he founded on Abbott Hill, in Wilton, has had a record worthy of notice. Founded in 1789, it still remains in the possession of the family, and has ever since been the home of the Gagefamily. The period is a long one, equalling in point of time the whole constitutional history of our country.

615 "Richard, son of Pierce and Eunice (Eaton) Gage, wass born in Pelham, June 25, 1784. He moved to Wilton with his parents, in 1789, and always resided in that town. He married Betsey Hutchinson of Wilton, Mar. 16, 1809, by whom he had nine children. He died July 16, 1854. His wife died 29, April, 1863. Of their nine children, eight have at some period of life res. in Washington."

RICHARD, b. Pelham, N. H., June 25, 1784; removed with his father to Wilton, N. H., when a child, and always resided there on the farm which his father purchased in 1789. He was a man of firm and resolute character and of the strictest integrity, an excellent neighbor and citizen. Although in no sense a public man — a man known best at home and among his townspeople — he was one of those strong men who have given character to New England society. His wife was Betsey Hutchinson, whom he married March 16, 1809. She was a daughter of Samuel and Mary (Wilkins) Hutchinson, and was born in Wilton, N. H., July 3, 1785. She was a woman of very amiable disposition and fine character, exceedingly well adapted to be a companion to a strong and resolute husband. They raised a family of nine children,all of whom lived to adult life, married, and had children. About the year 1815, they took into their family Lucy Sawtelle, a child who had just been deprived of a mother's care, and treated her withparental affection until her marriage, about thirteen years afterward, in 1828. She married Abner Mansur and resided in Groton, Mass., the most of her married life. She died at Ayer, Mass., May 25, 1890.

Richard Gage and his wife lived to see all of their children grow up, marry, and have children of their own. He died July 16, 1854. His wife died April 29, 1863.

Cyrus Gardner was a farmer and lived on what is known as the Gardner homestead which has been owned by the family for more than 200 years. He was very active in both religious and political matters. He represented his native town in the legislature in 1864, and held many important town offices and positions of trust. He was a trustee of the Gardiner's Lake Methodist Episcopal Church for many years, which office he held at the time of his death.

A Deborah Gardner, age 60, is living with his family during the 1850 Census. Could this be his aunt that was married to his Uncle Alpheus Rogers? (ADV 9/27/09).

I am not sure who the Fanny M. Gardner is that is living with Cyrus and Lucy during the 1880 Census (ADV 10/2/09).

He is listed as R. Gardner in the 1870 Census which seems odd (ADV 10/2/2009).
Although History of Montville and Gardner History say he was born March 31, 1818, the Iowa Cemetery records say April 1, 1818 (ADV 10/2/2009).

The first child born in what is now Union township, was Lena, daughter of Darius and Lucretia Gardner, whose natal day was July 28, 1857.

The next to appear upon the scene, was Darius Gardner, who in November, 1856, settled down upon section 21, out on the prairie. During that terrible winter he and his family dwelt here in their humble cabin, but not so lonely and cheerless as might be supposed Mrs. Gardner, in speaking of their experience says "There was a constant stream of travel from Bristol, in Worth county to Osage, Mitchellcounty all winter on the crust that had formed on the deep snow. This crust was some two inches thick. At that time, as there was only one other house on the road between these two points, a distanceof forty miles, travelers made it a point to stop over night with us. Our cabin was often full to overflowing. We often hung lights on the roof and at the windows to guide the luckless traveler who was overtaken by night on these trackless and dreary prairies, to help guide him to warmth and safety. As our nearest neighbors was four miles off, the travel made life endurable, which otherwise, would have been a desolate and dreary existence." What a picture of the trials and endurances of the pioneer families arises before us as these words are scanned, given as they are, by one of that noble band of women who followed their husbands into the trackless wilderness and helped to make it blossom as the rose. Mr. Gardner, however, lived to see the country settle up and his family surrounded by friends and neighbors and reaping the just reward of indefatigable labor. The family still occupy the original homestead.

OBITUARY OF DARIUS GARDNER.

To the Old Settlers Association of Worth county : In memory of Darius Gardner, who died March 1, 1879, at his residence in Union township, aged sixty years and eleven months.

Twenty years ago next fall, in moving to this county, Mr. Gardner was the first man whose acquaintance I formed, and
with your permission I will give a short sketch of his life, and also of his residence among us. He was born in the town of Bozrah, New London Co., Conn. He was for several years a resident of Norwich, Conn., where he was engaged in trade as a merchant: receiving injuries which resulted in severe spinal affection and poor health, he sought a home and health on the prairies, of the then far west. He arrived in Worth county the 5th day of April, 1856; being, as near as I can learn, the first permanent settler in the whole southeast quarter of the county. He lived the first summer in a cabin in the southeast corner of what is now Lincoln township. During the summer, he built the house in which he lived and died ; it being on the old Statf road and main thoroughfare through the county to Osage, the then land office for this and several adjoining counties. He moved into this house on the 10th day of November, but a few days before the noted hard winter of 1856-57 closed in upon him, a cripple, and four, "miles from the nearest neighbor, which was J. M. Molsberry,
and who had during the summer built and moved wliere he now lives, thereby becoming the first and Gardner the second settler of Union township. During this unparalelled hard winter he soon found himself without fuel and three miles from timber. It being impossible to get a team to the woods, he had to haul his fire-wood on a hand-sled on the crust, with no company but his faithful dog; and Mr. Gardner himself informed me that he had no doubt but the dog saved his life by leading him home during the many storms and blizzards of that terrible winter. Living on the main road to the land office, his cabin was frequently crowded to its utmost capacity, and "Gardner's" was soon almost as well and far known as the Astor House of New York city, and the string was always found hanging on the outside of the door. And this was truly emblematic of the man; the latch-string to his heart always hung on the outside, and instead of grasping for the last penny of the poor settler and homsteader, he always more ready to give than to receive. For the past few years he has moved among his fellows with great pain and difficulty, seldom leaving his home. About one year ago he visited us for the last time, staying over night, and remarking that he was not going to be in a hurry, as it would likely be his last visit. He left a wife, son and daughter to mourn his loss. And true to the fact that the mind makes the man, instead of money, and also that "education forms the common mind," he denied himself the much-needed help and company of his children in order that they might obtain an education; his daughter having graduated and his son well advanced at the Cedar Valley Seminary be he left them. He was buried near Plymouth, and the large audience attending his funeral obsequies gave evidence tothe esteem in which he was held by his friends and neighbors.

652 Ambrose, who settled in Braintrim, married Eleanor Comstock, daughter of John Comstock, who came from Norwich west farms. Mr. Gaylord died June 12. 1844, and had he lived to November, he would have been 95. His country had not entirely forgotten him, for his old age was cheered by a pension of 80 dollars. His good wife Eleanor, with whom we spent an hour, now (June, 1845,) 82 years of age, appears of perfectly sound mind and memory. She states that her father and two brothers were in the battle, she living in Forty Fort. Her two brothers, Kingsley and Robert, were killed. Her father, exhausted in the flight, threw himself beside a fallen tree. Presently two Indians sprang upon it, intent on those at a distance, and, on stepping down to pursue, bent the bushes so as to brush him. When night came, ne found his way to the fort. Gaylord Ambrose

669 Matthew Griswold, came from Kenilworth, England, to Windsor, Conn., in 1639 and removed to Saybrook about 1645-6.

Matthew Griswold, son of George Griswold, of the Warwickshire family of this name, was one of the first magistrates at Windsor and had charge of Gov. Fenwick's affairs when he left the Colony. He hada large tract of land on which he settled at Blackhall, a pleasant part of old Lyme, Conn., which has been the seat of the Griswold family for two and a half centuries. To the church in Saybrook of which Lyme was then a part, he presented a silver communion cup, bearing the following inscription attesting his gift:

S. C. C. DONO DOMINI MATTHEW GRISWOLD.

He was the first actual occupant in Lyme (set off from Saybrook 1665-6), where the title to his land was said to have been a fief or feudal grant, held upon the tenure of keeping the monument of LadyFenwiek in repair. He died in Lyme, Conn., 27 September 1698, was buried in Saybrook, but his grave is unknown — the more noticeable as the monument still standing in Windsor over the grave of his father-in-law, Henry Wolcott, is ascribed to his agency. The supposition that this and other monuments of that day were his workmanship is probably an error as there is absolutely no evidence that he, the most influential and probably wealthiest man in Lyme, possessor of a large estate, called Blackhall, was a stone cutter. He was Commissioner, Lieutenant of train band, Justice of the Peace, and frequently a Deputy to the General Court. His wife survived him and was living in September 1700, aged about 80 years. Their daughter, Elizabeth, was born about 1652, and died July 1727.

Mathew Griswold married, 16 October 1646, Anna, daughter of Henry Wolcott of Windsor, Conn., who emigrated from England, and was the ancestor of the prominent Wolcott family of Connecticut which has included so many distinguished members. Henry Wolcott was of Dorchester in 1630. He was the son of John Wolcott of Tolland, in Somersetshire, England, and was baptized in the adjoining parish of Lydiard St. Lawrence, 6 Dec. 1578. He married, 19 Jan. 1606, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Saunders of Lydiard St. Lawrence.

671 John Gustin, Sr., of Portland, Maine, was born at Le Tocy, St. Owen's Parish, Isle of Jersey, 9 Jan., 1647, son of Edmond Jenn, who married, 25 April, 1638, Esther, daughter of Jean Le Rosignol of St. Owens. He is called in Willise's History
of Portlnnd, Maine, Augustine Jean, and who afterwards appeared under the name of Jean or John Gustin. He had six children. John Gustin, Jr., settled in Stonington, Conn., about 1713; from there he removed to Hebron, then to Glastonbury. About 1745 he removed to Sussex County, New Jersey where he died 15 Oct., 1777. He was born 5 Nov., 1691. His wife Mary died 3 Dec., 1762. " The tombstones of these says one of their descendants, " in their private graveyard, now on the farm of Israel McDonald, near Branchville, New Jersey."

John, Jean, or Augustine, died 3 July, 1719. His will is recorded in Portland, Maine. He deseribes himself as a "Mariner" in a deed given to Rev. John Brock, of Reading, 26 June, 1677. He was a captain in the Merchant Marine, and afterwards became a sergeant in the company of Captain Beers in King. Philip's War.

689 Edith never married. she taught school for many years in Adrian Michigan,I think she taught 3 rd grade.

About Edith's house from a friend and later resident:
Edith's button collection, displayed in a case on her livingroom wall, was
Haviland Centennial Farm certificate. not printed on archiveable paper and although it is k ept in the dark, it is quite yellowed.
initials EMH scratched into the cement of the barn door sill. Did she ever mention the tin y pigeon nests in the corncrib? They are constructed with square nails so they are very old . I always wondered if
carrier pigeons were used to carry messages between underground railroad conductors. Edith t old me that she doubted these houses were used for UGRR because the Haviland family was unde r such close scrutiny. But that doesn't explain why the basement had been walled into two se ctions with a window in the fake wall. Or that the entrance into the basement had slats on b oth sides to lay shelves onand a hinged back to drop down to create a cupboard and hide th e fact that it really was an entrance into the basement.... That there had been a trapdoor i n the livingroom floor, and the trapdoor in the north porch, and the attic over the livingroo m has an opening into the attic over the kitchen wing, which has an opening in the ceiling o f the back room (northwest corner off the kitchen) overa trapdoor in the floor below, for th e crawl space, that gives access to the basement etc. etc.

I can not find her in the 1920 Census (ADV 10/4/09).
