In the following pages we have endeavored to notice all the members of this family, so far as records could 2 6 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. be obtained, or parties themselves have furnished ma- terial for that purpose. We are aware that these pages are neither full nor complete. The difficulty, and even the impossibility, of attaining to anything like a correct record, every one at all conversant with such matters must under- stand. We have done all in our power to obtain reli- able information. Records have been consulted, and aged people have been conversed with, whenever they could be found and were known to possess anything of interest. We venture to hope that a large amount of indul- gence will be extended to the compiler, when we consider the great variety of detail and dates here pre- sented. In our notice of families, we have endeavored not to discriminate ; and according to the interest the parties themselves have taken, and the fullness of the information they have furnished, will the record appear. Mrs. Charles Payson, of Thomaston, and Mr. Edward Ludwig Reed, of St. Davids, N. B., both of the fifth generation in the lineal descent, will please accept our thanks for the full and perfect record furnished by them. If other members of the family, with no better facilities, had done as much, our pages would have been augmented to double their present number. A NAME. Admitting the philosophical fact that a stream cannot rise higher than its fountain head, it may conciliate the good feeling of some reader to remember that science has now reduced her theories to such minute- ness as to discover globules of royal blood floating in ignoble veins. It must be claimed that names are ot some importance in navigating the investigator over all the shoals and quicksands of a long line of ancestry. " Names are things, and " adds the translator of Pela- giarism, u are instruments for moral and religious, as well as for scientific investigation ; lenses, for instance, and of the most divers and most magic power, enlarg- ing or diminishing, beautifying or deforming, multiply- ing, illuminating or obscuring, and investigating ob- jects with all imaginable hues. They are weapons, shields of adamant, Damascus blades. Wise men know well their power. Good men use them, and love to see them used, only aright. High minded men scorn to use them, and blush to see them used in any other way." Names have been the cause as well as the imple- ments of war, arraying brother against brother, even in the household of faith. Who will doubt this who has heard the thunder of such wars, or read 'their his- tory. Notwithstanding the immortal bard of Avon asks, with so much piquancy, " What's in a name V 1 its true import of good or bad will rest with its pos- sessor. The blade of the sword will do just as good service as though its hilt were not wreathed with flow- 8 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. ers. Embellishment does not impair usefulness. It is idle, if not worse than that, on the part of parents to neglect any item of intelligence which may afford the least claim to respectability or renown to the child. I would therefore inculcate and enforce by every argu- ment within my power a due respect to the right names of both men and things in their peculiar etymology in the minds of the young.

INTRODUCTION. The object of the following pages is to make a true and correct record of one of the oldest German fami- lies, and the only one of the name in New England, which has now become quite numerous, dating back to 1699, and having already extended to the seventh gen- eration. Although almost every family has kept some kind of record of births, deaths, &c, yet there is nothing suf- ficiently definite to be found whereby any one of the present generation, unaided by tradition, could know from which branch of the family he descended. I have endeavored so to classify and arrange the several branches of this family that with a little care any one may easily ascertain who his ancesters were from the remote period of their emigration, 1699, and where they lived and died. Genealogy is a subject that is never interesting to any except those of whom it immediately treats ; and strange as it may seem, scarcely any one gives it a thought until they themselves are beginning to shrink from the cares and perplexities of life, and then they, for the first time, reflect and inquire from where and from whom they descended. I believe the remark will hold good with the learned as well as the unlearned, the obscure as well as the illustrious. Man loves to dwell upon anticipated prosperity, and to boast more r>f what he will do than of what his ancestors have 2* 10 LUDWIG GENEALOGY done ; feasting with hope rather than fasting with memory. Uninteresting and neglected as the subject of gene- alogy is to those whom it does not immediately con- cern, it nevertheless affords to the reflecting mind many instructive lessons, and perhaps none of which are more important than the sad conviction of the brevity of human life. It is now less than two hundred years since Joseph, the individual from whom descended this large poster- ity, was born, and yet there are now living many of the seventh generation, leaving an average of only about thirty years for each of us to act our part in life and then pass away. Degeneracy, and everything tending thereto, like impure blood, bad habits, and unsound principles, should be assiduously guarded against, as well by in- dividuals as by races ; and in this family, although they have all escaped the poor house, and never, to my knowledge, been convicted of crime, still they have sinned, with a high hand, in another direction : They have intermarried with their own blood. Cousins and second cousins have disregarded the Levitical Law, which says, "thou shalt not marry thy grand- mother," &c, and in every instance some of their children have been visited with physical malformation or mental defect, showing conclusively that nature will have her revenge whenever her laws are recklessly disregarded. In Massachusetts, a few years ago, the Legislature became aware of this growing evil, and appointed a committee to investigate the matter and report. One passage (page 90) of their report gives the sta- tistics of seventeen families, the heads of which being INTRODUCTION. H blood relations, intermarried, which they had occasion to inquire about in the discharge of their commission. Ninety-five children were the issue of these seventeen marriages. Of the ninety-five children, one was a dwarf, one was deaf, twelve others were puny, and forty-four were idiots. "Facts are stubborn things." Nature speaks plain- ly enough here, and no consideration of sentiment, custom or prejudice should drown her voice. I have been so occupied for the last forty years as to become familiar with every instance of physical or mental defect that has occurred in a district of twenty miles square, and in every solitary case I can show an intermarriage of blood. If this be true, is not the in- heritance which we entail upon our children fraught with incalculable loss and suffering ? These intermarriages are never uniform in their de- velopment upon the children. The most feeble form of manifestation is eccentricity, in which the child is said to be odd, and does not incline to join in the sports of others of its age. Imbecility of body and mind is a fuller development of the infirmity, and such children are characterized as feeble or puny. Mono- mania and insanity are amongst the consequences ; but the worst form, and that which oftenest occurs, is idiocy, and unfortunately for the sufferer, it is that form from which there is the least hope of improvement. Large and respectable as this family has become, and widely as they are dispersed by migration, they have never acquired any special distinction for learning or wealth. Magistrates, physicians and clergymen are to be found in almost every generation, and religionists are quite conspicuous among the women as well as the men, and I believe as a general thing they may be 12 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. characterized as a family of good common sense and true patriotism. The compiler asks no thanks for fur- nishing this little volume. He has no other wish than to cultivate a reverence for your parentage and a proper solicitude for your children, and ignores the idea of making any attempt to elaborate an ancestral tree. His only aim is to fix a few facts, important and interesting only to those connected in this family chain, hoping thereby to awaken in the hearts of those who may hereafter come upon the stage of being a desire to emulate the virtues, if there be any, and avoid the errors of those who have gone before. He would say with Cowper : " My boast is not that I deduce my birth From loins enthroned, and rulers of the earth, But higher far my proud pretensions rise, The son of parents passed into the skies." LUDWIG GENEALOGY, JOSEPH LUDWIG. The origin of the name Ludwig does not appear to be involved in so much ob- scurity, nor to have the same derivation that many of the family names among the German peasantiy have ; for in many instances, as in ptmmmitott 9fcm&erot&, Qfiirftent^umS 2)te, cm ^jteftgen ?anben a6, unb na$ 2Imertfa jit jte^en gebenfet, unb ba^ero urn bie erforber* lichen Dismissoriales gejtemenb cmgeftcmben, man audj> bemfeffien Remitter ju bef eriren fetn Sebenfen $at; 211$ Herbert fym f ol^e Sraft btefe ^teburc^ ettfjetlet, unb fo* mit ber Untert|)anen))ftt$t, toomit berfeffie Ijjtefig guabtg* fter SanbeS )errfcfyaft juget^jan getoefen, entlaffen* 3n Urlunbe ber 9?ormunbf(^aftH^en anbe=9tegterung ge* too^nttcfyen Unterfc^rtft unb fcorgebmdten Snftegefe* ignatum 2)itten6urg, ben 16. 3unt 1753. f^iirftli^ Dxanitn Maffau'fdje $ur 2kr* tmtn&fdjaftf. gatt&eS^egtenmg uerorbnetc spraftbettt, eljetmratye, ge^cime Safttj unb SRegtenmgS^atlje* LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 21 2665.

Jacob, 2 b. 1730. 2. Joseph Henry, 2 b. 1U0. 3. Catherine Elizabeth, 2 b. 1. SECOND GENERATION. Jacob Ludwig, 2 oldest son of Joseph, 1 of Dietz, was born in Germany in 1730, set- tled in Bro&d Bay in 1753, and married Marguritte Hilt in 1755. He and his brother Joseph Henry located themselves on opposite sides of the Madomok River immediately after their arrival, and the farms which they then purchased they continued to occupy and improve till the time of their death. Their tastes and vocations were very similar, often serving the town or individuals in their common affairs, as well as those of more difficult and responsible character. They had held all the offices of trust and profit within the gift of the people, from com- LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 23 mon road surveyor to that of town rep- resentative, besides the executive ap- pointments of notary public and justice of the peace. In Eaton's History of Warren, he says: Broad Bay was incorporated into a town by the name of Waldoboro, in 1773. Its boundaries were not well defined, and it became subsequently a matter of dispute, but was finally arranged by mutual con- sent; but not being familiar with the case, we shall pursue it no farther, hop- ing that some one competent to the task will give it in a manner worthy its pos- terity and the character and enterprise of its inhabitants, not forgetting to do jus- tice to its German fathers, among whom were particularly distinguished Jacob and Joseph Ludwig, who in spite of every dis- advantage found means to acquire enough of the English language to enable the former to record the early transactions of the town intelligibly, and both of them to 24 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. represent it efficiently in the Legislature of Massachusetts. Jacob, or, as baptized, John Jacob Ludwig, was about eighteen years old at the time of his arrival in America. In the latter part of the French and In- dian war he seems to have resided in Boston, where he enlisted into the army, and did service at Ticonderoga, Lake George and Crown Point, and was pro- moted to the rank of orderly sergeant. When the town was incorporated; in 1773, he was chosen the first town clerk, and one of the first selectmen, which offi- ces he continued to fill, with few inter- missions, for forty years. He frequent- ly represented the town in the legislature, and sustained other town offices. In 1776 he was appointed captain of a company sent to Machias for the protec- tion of that place. In 1788, and at sev- eral subsequent periods, he was appointed a notary public, and in 1789 appointed LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 25 justice of the peace, which latter office he held till near the close of his life. His knowledge of both English and German eminently qualified him to act as magistrate among a mixed population, nearly ignorant as they were for a time of each other's language. He retained his faculties up to the time of his death, which took place at Waldoboro' January 1, 1826. The following lines seem very appro- priate, addressed to his memory, from the prospect attained in a view from a win- dow in the old homestead: I look out at the window now, Which, like an old eye glazed and dim, And blinded by the falling snow, Seeks in the graveyard after him Who slumbers there, While I sit in his ancient chair. There the tall poplars waving high, Pencil long shadows on the ground, Writing with fingers from the sky An epitaph for every mound. He planted these These beautiful and grand old trees. 26 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. The patriarch of the fields has gone To the republic of the dead. Soon we shall follow, one by one, And under the cold turf be laid. But we shall rise There are no graves beyond the skies. His children and grand-children fill The gray old homestead which he planned, The cottages that crown the hill And own for many a rood the land That swells afar, To hills that meet the morning star. JACOB LUD WIG'S 2 WILL. In the name of God, Amen. I, Jacob Ludwig, of Waldoborough, in the county of Lincoln, Esquire, fully sensible of the uncertainty of life, and conscious of my approaching dissolution, hereby make, declare and publish my last Will and Testament, as follows, to wit : Firstly. I will and direct that my executor, herein- after named, shall pay out of my estate all just and honest debts which I may owe at the time of my de- cease ^^'isH^'K^'H'K'K Thirdly. I will and bequeath to my daughters, Margaret Hoffses, wife of Christian Hoffses, of Wal- doborough, Eve Catherine Heibner, relict of 1 Mathias Heibner, deceased, Elizabeth Kobinson, wife of Moses Robinson, of Warren, Maria Catherine Kaler, wife of Jacob Kaler, late of Waldoborough, deceased, Cathe- rine Reed, wife of Michael Reed, the sum of two hun- dred dollars each, to be paid out of my estate by the executor of this last Will and Testament, as follows : To each of my daughters abovenamed, or to their heirs, LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 27 the sum of fifty dollars annually, computing from the day of my interment, with interest on each sum of fifty dollars only from and after it shall become payable. Fourthly. I will, and bequeath to my eldest son, Joseph H. Ludwig, the sum of two dollars at the ex- piration of one year from the probate of this instru- ment, which with a farm conveyed to him by me here- tofore is his full and just proportion of all my estate. Fifthly. I will, bequeath and devise unto my son, Jacob Ludwig, Junior, the farm on which I now reside, and all other real estate whatsoever of which I may die seized and possessed, including one pew in the German Meeting House, so called, in Walboborough, to have and to hold to him, the said Jacob Ludwig, Jr., his heirs and assigns forever. I also g\e and be- queath unto my said son, Jacob Ludwig, Junior, all my personal estate of whatsoever name or nature, howsoever I may be interested in the same, or where- soever it may be found, subject, however, without evasion, to all the aforegoing dispositions, legacies and bequests. ******** Seventhly. I hereby appoint my son, Jacob Lud- wig, Junior, to be sole executor of this my last Will and Testament; and I hereby revoke and annul all wills which I have heretofore made. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this twenty-fifth day of September, in the year of Our Blessed Lord and Redeemer one thousand eight hundred and twelve. JACOB LUDWIG.

Augustus Eodolphus Benedictus Ritz, their Lutheran clergyman, was a man of learning and ability ; so was Dr. John Christopher Walleser, their German LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 29 physician, and a Mr. Henry Frederick Helmershausen, who was a man of much learning, but neither of them participated in any of the public business of the town.

Margarette Win- chenbach, of the Dutch Neck, 1791, died 1852. He always lived on a farm, which his father gave him, on the eastern side of the river, about five miles below the village, dividing his time between his LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 33 farm and his household till he died, there- by showing his consistency in natural things, as he always did in spiritual things, letting his faith be known by his works. He was an unusually zealous and devout member of the Lutheran Church for about twenty years, when he was transferred to the Congregational Church, and immediately on his admission was chosen deacon, and continued to hold the office, with much credit to himself and the entire satisfaction of the church and society, till he died, during a period of over thirty years.

He never was blessed with a view of the beauties of this world, having been blind from infancy. But his mind was strong, especially his memory. He could repeat verbatim long passages of scripture and many hymns which he had acquired by hearing them read. He could also tell the age of nearly every individual in a circuit of miles around. He was converted under the preaching of Rev. Mr. Mitchell in W. more than forty years ago. He united with the Congregational Church in W. in Nov. 1818. From the time of his conversion until his death he maintained a remarkably consistent Christian character, seeming continually to rejoice in hope. His spiritual apprehension of the great truths of Christianity was unusually clear. Doubts never seemed to enter his mind. The language of his whole life and character seemed to be, " I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." He was very useful in social meet- ings, being always ready and active, and very happy in exhortation and prayer. In such meetings the little church of which he was a member when he died (Sec- ond Congregational Church in W.) will deeply feel his loss. He was exceedingly active visiting the sick, encouraging and praying with them. Neither the cold and snow of winter nor the heat of summer could abate his zeal for doing good. He was often seen feel- ing his way along the road, when those who could see would remain at home. Sometimes when the snow was so deep that he could not wade through it, he has been seen creeping on his hands and knees that he LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 35 might visit some sick person or perform some other duty. He was constant in his private devotions. Three times a day would he retire 'to his closet and his voice be heard in prayer.- Even the very coldest weather could not keep him by the fireside when his hour of prayer came. When his sister, with whom he lived, would ask him if he was not cold when thus en- gaged, lie would answer, " 0, no, my heart is warm with love to God, and that warms me all through." He was known as a good man by every one for miles around, and will be much missed and lamented. But he will be most missed at home, where his earnest, effectual prayers seemed, to those near and dear to him, like the protecting wings of a guardian angel. He will be deeply lamented in this little church, now bereft of three of its members within a few months.. He will no more go from house to house to exhort and pray. He will no more go to the outskirts of the town to hold his little meetings, for his work is all done, and he has gone to his rest. He used to love to sing. Now, no doubt, he is singing in heaven. The following three verses were great favorites with him : Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb, I love to hear of thee; No music like thy charming name, Nor half so sweet can be. When we appear in yonder cloud, With all the favored throng, Then will we sing more sweet, more loud, And Christ shall be our song. When we've been there ten thousand yeUrs, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun. 36 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. Although death came upon him very suddenly and unexpectedly, yet his good hope never faltered. On Sabbath, Sept. 13th, he attended meeting all day and evening, apparently as well as any one present. In the evening he seemed in a very happy frame of mind as he spoke of his good hope in Christ which he had possessed more than forty years, and recommended it to the impenitent. This was his last exhortation and prayer. He was taken sick the next morning, and died on Thursday afternoon. His good hope in Christ sustained him to the very last, as was evident from the answer he gave to the question, " Are you ready to die ?" His faint answer was, " Yes, glory be to God, I am ready and willing/ 7 And our dear Bro. Ludwig fell asleep in Jesus, to awake in the glorious morning of the resurrection. And now the admonition comes home to us all, " Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh." 8.

Jacob Ludwig, 3 second son of Jacob 2 and Margarette Hilt, was born in Boston in 1776, and removed with his parents the next year to Broad Bay, where he continued to live upon the same estate that was owned and occupied by his father, ever after. He was married by Patrick Pebbles, Esq., to Susan Hutchins, daughter of Robert Hutchins, of Cushing, of Scotch Irish descent, in the year 1797, at the age of twenty, and died Nov. 5, 1858. His wife died Feb. 24, 1838. During the Irish rebellions, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, several of the coun- ties in the north of Ireland became near- ly depopulated, and her successor, James I. caused those counties to be settled by a Protestant population, as he said, to introduce a higher state of cultivation among them. This is the race, flowing from different parts of Scotland, which furnishes the material of the Scotch Irish LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 39 immigration to this country, and from which this Hutchins family descended. They settled first at Boothbay, and were more or less intermingled with the Dutch and Germans of that region, their descendants many of them con- taining blood of each race, and blending their joint exertions, their distinct origin almost lost, in giving prosperity to the country which their ancestors first opened to the light of civilization. OBITUARY. Died, in Walboboro, Nov. 3d, 1858, Col. Jacob Lud- wig, aged 82 years. Col. Ludwig was of German descent. His father, Capt. Jacob Ludwig, was one of the German emigrants who settled at Waldoboro' in 1748, was an orderly- sergeant in the French and Indian wars, commanded a company in the war of the Revolution, aud was the first representative from Waldoboro' to the General Court of Massachusetts. Col. Ludwig had but few early advantages of educa- tion ; possessing a strong and active mind, he im- proved every opportunity to obtain knowledge. He frequently represented Waldoboro' both in the Legis- lature of Massachusetts and of Maine. He was one of the selectmen of the town for more than a quarter of a century, and a deputy sheriff more than thirty 40 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. years. Candid and decided in the expression of his opinions, prompt, fearless and judicious in the dis- charge of duty. Highly respected as a citizen, few- men, in any community, have received and retained for so long a time the confidence of the people. Prac- tically benevolent and public spirited, ever giving his influence on the side of virtue, morality and religion. Many who have enjoyed his society abroad, or par- taken of the cheerful hospitalities of his house, will remember his manly form, gentlemanly bearing, gene- ral conversation, and the fund of useful information he was ever ready to impart. As a husband, father and friend he possessed those amiable, kind and endearing qualities which make happy and joyous the domestic circle. As a christian, he exemplified the religion of Jesus more by his consistent life and conversation than by any outward profession. The infirmaties of age came gradually upon him. He remarked, a few weeks previous to his death, that his faculties were impaired, his usefulness ended ; he was now ready and waiting his summons to depart. His last sickness was short ; the day before his death he walked in his fields, apparently as well as usual. His work all done life well spent the summons came and he has gone to rest awhile, that he maybe present at the resurrection of the just. R. Waldoboro', Nov. 15, 1858. Children : 81. William, 4 b.

With this third generation the German language is but little spoken, and their religious teachings, which have been un- interruptedly maintained for over a hun- dred years, are now fast giving way before an advancing system of English education. From their earliest arrival at Broad Bay, in 1740, they had relig- ious services performed on the Sabbath. Having no settled minister at first, one Charles Leisnor, who came over with them as an agent for Gen. Waldo, offi- ciated as religious teacher until his death, in 1760. After Leisnor, one John Ulmer, LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 51 of their colony, was employed to conduct their meetings, and it was said Gen. Waldo allowed him a fixed sum for preaching. After a few years he and his family, which was quite numerous, removed to Thomaston, and took up that large tract of land at ." Blackinton's Cor- ner," embracing all the valuable lime rock in that vicinity; and from this family descended all of the name of Ulmer in Eockland and the region round about. Soon after this the Rev. Frederick Cro- ner received a call, married one of John TJlmer's daughters, and settled as their minister. He remained about four years, and was dismissed. The next clergyman whom they employed was the Rev. John Martin Schaeffef, last from Boston. He agreed with them, on condition of having a lot of land as a settlement, and 3, old tenor, and two days' work, yearly, from each settler. He was a smart preacher, 52 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. and a good singer, and was thought to be a man of great learning; but from the want of proper judges it is difficult to determine what his literary acquirements were. His moral character seems to have been less equivocal. He had left a wife in Germany, seduced the wife of another, a woman of great personal beauty, and brought her over to this country with him. Not satisfied with his income as a preacher, he practiced as a physician also, and gained much fame as well as wealth by blood letting and dealing out medicine. He made many of his people believe it was necessary to be bled every spring, for which he received a regular fee of fifty cents from each inhabitant of adult age. As wealth increased, restraint was thrown off, and his vices appeared without a blush. He was very profane, grew intemperate, and though a stirring preacher, gradually lost all influence as a LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 53 minister and a man. (Eaton's History of Warren). It is told that during the Revolutionary War a Mr. Dalham, an honest old soldier, returned home from the army sick, with a Spanish doubloon in his pocket, and learning that his family during his ab- sence had been sick too, and that Dr. Schaeffer, their family physician, had been very kind and attentive during their sick- ness, hastened to discharge the obligation while he had money. He found the doctor at home, and in a brief way introduced the subject, and threw down his doubloon upon the table. The doctor looked about and began to sum up as follows, as he did not keep any books: "Vel, ven your vife vos sick first, dat vos den taller; next dime, vos vour taller ; den your poy vas sick, dat vas one taller, and one half taller. " Finding the doubloon, which passed for $16.50, was not wholly con- sumed, he began to scratch his head 6 54 LTJDWIG GENEALOGY. to quicken his recollection, and then an- nounced, " Oh ! your last schild, I chris- ted dat, dare ish another half taller." But there was still another half dollar unappropriated, and the doctor from the beginning seemed not to be satisfied with anything short of the whole, began to ransack his brain a second time, looked wiser than before, and presto, the idea came " Oh ! now I cot it," said the doc- tor, "One dime ven we dink your vife vill die, I gift her the sacrament ; dat vas another half taller," and picking up the doubloon, fled to another room, relieving poor Mr. Dalham from any further care about the money. From this time a new era seemed to open for these poor people, who had been wretchedly imposed upon by itinerant preachers. In 1795, Frederick Augustus Rodol- phus Benedictus Ritz, a native of Ger- many, was called, and entered imme- LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 55 diately on the work of his ministry. He was educated in his native country, at the University of Helmstadt. He was a man of great piety and learning, and emi- grated to this country in 1751, became a member of the Lutheran Synod of Penn- sylvania, and was there for some time as pastor of four congregations. He re- mained with the people of Waldoboro' until his death, which was in 1811, uni- versally lamented not only by his church and society, but by all who knew him. The Rev. Paul Coffin, D.D., of Buxton, Me., a Congregational clergyman, in mak- ing a tour through the wilderness of Maine as a missionary in 1796, called upon Mr. Ritz, and says of him : " He could not pro- nounce th. Th and with could not sound from his Dutch (German) mouth. He knew something of five languages, as did I. We both knew something of the Latin, Greek, French and English. He knew Dutch (German) to which I op- 1 56 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. posed my Hebrew. He appears sociable, benevolent and pious, and is something of a divine. 77 Previous to Mr. Eitz, a very popular Moravian clergyman, by the name of Cilly, was employed here for a time, and when he left about seventy of his con- verts went with him. They settled in North Carolina, and their descendants have become quite numerous, though the name of Kinsel, which was among the emigrants, has become extinct in the male line. Eev. John William Starman, who suc- ceeded Mr. Eitz, in 1811, was born in Sennep, a town in Ehenish Prussia, Ger- many, about four miles from Dusseldorf, one of the old cities on the western bank of the Ehine, where he served an appren- ticeship to fit him for commercial life. Note. The writer of this article was in Dusseldorf a few years ago, and conversed with several who knew Mr. Starman personally, when he was employed as a clerk in the store of a woollen draper in that city, and LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 57 from those persons he learned something of his early history. He received the rudiments of his education in his native town and his father's house, and was designed for a merchant ; but after the death of his father in 178?, who was a Lutheran clergyman, he came to New York, and put himself under the tuition of the late Kev. F. W. Geissenhainer, D. D., a celebrated divine* in the study of theology, and it was there he prepared himself for the Gospel Ministry, and in due time offered himself to the Lutheran Synod for examination. He was examined, accepted and received a license to preach to any vacant congregation. Soon after, he received a call from the people of Waldoboro, where he preached in the German language till 1840. By this time he had acquired some knowledge of the English language and gave the people his first written sermon. Many were there from other societies out of curiosity to hear him. Although it was not a perfect failure, you might say with the poet, vox hcesit fauci- bus. He however persevered, and in a few years was not only able to speak the English language correctly, but to discharge the duties of Superintendent of Com- mon Schools, to which office he had been elected, to the entire acceptance of that large and intelligent community in which he lived. When the people of this colony, who as a nation were devout, arrived at Broad Bay in 1140 and IT 53, most of them were members of the church, and those who were not soon became so. The prerequisites for admission were, a profession of faith, with an ability to repeat the articles of their belief, (Ghristlichen glaubens,) and the Lord's Prayer, which they call Vater unser. Many were admitted by the time they 6* 58 LTTDWIG GENEALOGY. were ten years old. This lax and unsatisfactory test, together with a discrimination which was made at the communion table, seemed to call for reform. The church had been divided, from the first, between the Lutherans and the German Reformed. At the celebra- tion of the Lord's Supper, the former took the bread and wine from the communion service themselves, while the latter had the bread put into their mouths and the wine cup held to their lips by the deacon. Mr. Starman labored hard and long to reconcile these differences, telling them, among other things, that they were all of one Father and ought to be of one faith. From the time he first came among them, he began to inaugurate a more rational and rigid disci- pline, with reference to church membership, requiring some other evidence of fitness besides an ability to repeat the articles of their belief and the Lord's Prayer, and he had the satisfaction of living long enough to see both sects come to the same communion table and unite in one great brotherhood of the church in undi- vided fellowship. The old church edifice in which all the German clergymen of the place have officiated in the order in which they have been presented, is still standing, about one mile south from the village, on the western bank of the Madomok River, in a tolerable state of preservation, in- deed, with no marks of neglect or decay save those made by the " tooth of time."

D. 1800. The following account of the capture and recapture of the ship Hiram, when commanded by Capt. Samuel Austin Whitney, has at length been found in the col- umns of the New England Palladium for January 16, 1801. About the same time, a more detailed account appeared in a Castine paper, which it is hoped may yet be recovered. Samuel Austin Whitney was born in Concord, Mass., Sept 21, H70, and at the date of this occurrence was thirty years of age. His brother Henry, born Jan. 29, 11 83, was in his eighteenth year. They were the sons of Samuel and Abigail (Cutler) Whitney, succes- sively of Boston, Concord and Castine. A few copies LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 81 of the letter have been printed, to insure its preser- vation. Boston, Oct. 8, 1859. H. A. W. From " The Mercury and New England Palladium, " of Friday, January 16, 1801. Printed in Boston. Extract of a letter from Gapt. Whitney, of the ship Hiram, to a gentleman of this town, dated "Fort [Port] Royal, Martinique, November 18. [1800.] - "I arrived here the 13th inst., after being twice taken and re-taken ; and one hundred and two days at sea. I left Liverpool the 2d of August, and on the 13th September, being in longitude 55 and latitude 29, I was taken by a French sloop-of-war, and all my people taken out, except Harry, (second mate, a brother of Oapt. W., aged seventeen years,) one man, and a boy twelve years of age, an apprentice of mine ; and manned with ten Frenchmen, and ordered for Cay- enne. I, being determined on an attempt to retake my ship, on first discovering her to be French, loaded my pistols and hid them in a crate of ware, which had I not done I should have lost them, for no less than three different times were my trunks searched for them, as were the cabin and all parts of the ship which they could come at. They found my ammunition, but my pistols were secure ; and such was their extreme cau- tion, that they would not allow any man to be off deck ; but ate, drank and slept on deck. " Finding that I could not obtain any advantage of them by getting them below, I determined to attack them openly, by daylight. Therefore, at about four o'clock, on the fourth day after being taken, I secured my pistols in my waistband, having previously told Harry and my man my determination, and directed 8* g2 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. them to have a couple of handspikes where 'they could clasp their hands upon them in an instant, and when they saw me begin, to come to my assistance. " The Prize Master was now asleep on the weather hen-coop, his mate at the wheel, and the crew on dif- ferent parts of the main deck. Under these circum- stances, I made the attempt by first knocking down the mate at the wheel. The master started up so quick that I could get but a very slight stroke at him ; upon which he drew his dirk upon me, but I closed in with him, sallied him out of the quarter rail and threw him overboard ; but he caught by the main chains, and so escaped going into the water. By this time I had the remaining eight upon me, two of whom I knocked backwards off the quarter beck, and Harry and my man coming aft at .this time with handspikes, played their part so well among them that I soon got relieved. I then drew a pistol, and shot a black fellow in the head, who was coming at me with a broad-axe. The ball only cut him to the bone, and then glanced, but it had an excellent effect, by letting the rest know that I had pistols, of which they had no idea. By this time, the mate, whom I had first knocked down, had recovered, and ran down to his trunk and got a pistol, which he fired directly at my man's face, but the ball missed him. " The Prize Master, whom I hove over the quarter, got in again, and stabbed Harry in the side, but not so bad as to oblige him to give out till we had con- quered. In this situation we had it pell-mell for about a quarter of an hour, when we got them a running, and followed them on, knocking down the hindmost, two or three times around the deck, when a part of them escaped below, and the rest begged for mercy, LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 3 which we granted on their delivering up their weap- ons, which consisted of a discharged pistol, a midship- man's dirk, a broad-axe, a hand-saw, &c. We then marched them aft into the cabin, and brought them up one at a time, after strictly searching them, and con- fined them down forward/ ' Ten days after this daring action, Capt. W. was again captured by a privateer schooner from Guada- loupe, who plundered his ship of 8,000 or 10,000 sterling, put on board a crew of 15 French, and ordered her for Guadaloupe. After being in their hands 46 days, he was retaken by an English frigate and sent into Martinique. Children : 490. Clara Whitney, 5 b. June 1, 1831, m. Rev. S. R.

George Keely to Sophia Balch, a pupil of Harriet Newell, of Haverhill, Mass., May 6, 1830, who was born Sept. 5, 1807, and d. March 22, 1855. Among the official stations which he has occupied may be mentioned that he was one of the original founders of the academy in Thomaston, in 1844, and be- ing one of the trustees by act of incorpo- ration, he was chosen the first president of the board, and has been re-elected an- nually ever since. He has likewise been one of the directors of the Mutual Insur- ance Company for thirty years, and is now the only survivor of the board as it was at the time of his election. He has held the position of Commissioner on State Prison affairs ; was a member of the Leg- islature in 1860, and received the unani- mous support of his party for Speaker of LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 35 the House in opposition to Hon. Fred. A. Pike, of Calais. He has also been a member of the Senate, and one of the trustees of the Insane Hospital. In .1851, his health became impaired, and by the advice of medical friends, he visited Europe, and on his return he was so much recovered as to be able to resume the practice of his profession. During his absence he saw much of Germany, the birth place of his ancestors, and learned something of the manners and customs of her people, an account of which was published in the " Lincoln Miscellany/ ' and other newspapers of the day.

We take from the Christian Mirror the following account of William Edward : OBITUARY. Died in Waldoboro, Nov. 19, 1864, William E. Ludwig, aged 22 years and 1 day. He left home with the 20th Maine Regiment, Aug., 1862, and arrived in Washington in time to participate in driving the invaders from Maryland. From expo- sure and rapid marching he became so much exhausted as to be unfit for duty, and was sent to the hospital in York, Penn. Unwilling to have the time pass by unimproved, he began the study of anatomy and sur- gery, and by diligent attention, together with frequent 90 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. opportunities of witnessing the army practice, he had already made great proficiency and had decided to fol- low the medical profession as a means of livelihood. Genial, courteous and dignified, he won alike the love of the aged and the young. Gifted with fine musical talent, he was never chary of the gift, and wiled away many a weary homesick hour amid the gloom of hos- pital life, by his cheery songs. He possessed a well- governed mind, and had the power of concentrating his thoughts upon whatever subject he chose. This was his crowning acquisition, and the hope of much prom- ise to his friends. He returned from City Point about two weeks ago, where he had been prostrated by fever, and continued to fail rapidly until the close of his life. "At home!" as he uttered these words the morning after his return to his father, they seemed to convey so much joyous trustfulness, as to hallow them with a renewed benediction. Never, since the earliest period of our history as a nation, could it be more truly said than now, that our whole land is the " Y alley of the shadow of death.' ' There is scarce one spot of burial ground, but some recently upturned sod greets the eye, speaking more eloquently, though mutely, than any human voice, of a life given to our country, and with still more tender meaning, of desolation in bereaved hearts. The incense of this costly sacrifice of youth, health, and life, laid upon the altar that thus has arisen before the throne of Him "who regardeth all things," is not lost. The subject of this brief notice left school and home " burning with high hope/ 7 and came back pale and still with the language of thanksgiving upon his lips LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 91 and the light of a new found Saviour's love beaming from his eyes. This thought, Earth's lonely pathway cheereth, Bidding the darkness from around it flee; The loved in life, whom death the more endeareth, Dearest shall be through all eternity, Com. 88.

The oldest son of this family, a bright, intelligent boy, was attached to a vessel commanded by Rufus Kelloch, and on the 9th March, 1862, sailed from Tenants Harbor, St. George, with a fair wind, bound to Calais, Me., for a cargo of lum- ber, and has not been heard from since. During the first night out the wind was variable, with squalls, and as the vessel was light, it is supposed she capsized, and all on board perished. Some three months after, the captain's chest went on shore at Cape Cod. LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 101 118.'"' \' : \[[ ' Alexander Ludwig* 4 sOn : 'of \ Godfrey 3 and Jane Bead, of WaL, b. 1815, m.

His business increasing rapidly, he was soon able to LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 103 invest a little in navigation; and from that day to this his business has con- tinued to expand, and now he can count his ships by tens, and his dollars by hun- dreds of thousands.

Joseph William Ludwig, 4 son of John 3 and Sophrona Pease of Hope, was born in Waldoboro' in 1828, and married Cate J. Post of South Thomaston, in 1850. He was but six years old when he was left, by the death of his father, with his mother and two other children without any means of support. At this early period he began to think the life of a mariner would be most congenial to his taste, and in a few years he commenced as all successful boys do, first as cabin boy, then as foremast man, and from that he soon became master and owner. Dur- ing the late rebellion he commanded a government steamship, and was actively employed during the whole of the war. He has now retired with honor and wealth to the peaceful enjoyment of fam- ily and home. The Boston Advertiser of the 12th of February speaks of him as having pur- n 114 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. chased the Vicksburg and Shreveport Railroad, at auction, for $50,000. Child : TIT.

New Orleans, of yellow fever, aged 24 years. "A kiss for his mother's sake," was given to him, after his death, by a lady who took care of him during his sickness. From this incident, the late Mrs. L. H. Sigourney wrote the following poem : "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother." The editor of the New Orleans Advocate has this incident about the ravages of the yellow fever in that city, related to him by one of the Methodist pastors : u The preacher was called a few days since to attend the funeral of a young man. Before his sickness he was a stout, buoyant, manly youth. He was from the LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 121 State of Maine, and had been here but a short time. He was attacked by yellow fever, and soon died, with no mother or relative to watch by his bedside, or to soothe him with that sympathy which none but those of our own ' dear kindred blood I can feel or manifest. He died among strangers and- was buried by them. When the funeral service was over, and the strange friends who had ministered to him were about to finally close the coffin, an old lady, who stood by, stopped them and said, ' Let me kiss him for his mother/ We have yet to find the first man or woman to whose eye this simple recital has not brought tears." " 'TWAS FOR HIS MOTHER'S SAKE." BY MRS. L. H. SIGOURNEY. He died amid a stranger band, Though in his native clime, The fever smote him, and he fell In his fresh morning prime. A strong and stalwart youth was he, Reared 'mid the hills of Maine, And in his wild, delirious dream, He saw those hills again. No care of kindred soothed his pain, Or watch'd his sleepless night, Or cool'd the burning lips that verg'd Into the deadly white; But unknown hands in haste prepared The narrow coffin bed, And a small funeral group drew near Where holy prayers were said.* But ere the coffin-lid they cios'd, An ancient woman prest Forth from that group, and laid her hand Upon that pulseless breast, And with a solemn fervor kiss'd The forehead cold as clay. " 'Tis for his mother's sake," she said, And mournful turn'd away. 122 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. And so that mother's friendship-seal Down to his grave he bore, Who never to their cottage home Shall greet her darling more; While many an eye unused to weep Felt lingering moisture break, To hear that aged woman's words " 'Twas for his mother's sake."

Newell W. Wetherbee, of Barnstable, Mass., was engaged in the early part of 1800, and he may justly be said to be the first teacher who inspired the children with a love for English litera- ture instead of their vernacular dialect. Hon. Nathaniel Groton, soon after this, prepared himself for a public education, and he was the first young man on the eastern side of the Kennebec Eiver who aspired to that honorable distinction. He studied the languages and the higher branches of mathematics at He- bron Academy, which was then in high repute, under the instruction of Bezaleel Cushman, and graduated at Bowdoin Col- lege in the class of 1814. He com- menced the study of the law in his na- LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 129 tive town, in the office of Hon. Isaac G-. Reed, an eminent lawyer, and finished it with that distinguished advocate and pol- itician, Hon. Benjamin Ames, of Bath. After his admission to the bar, he opened an office in Bath for the practice of his profession. In 1832 and 1834 he was elected State senator from Lincoln Coun- ty, and in the latter year he was ap- pointed Judge of Probate, which office he held by successive executive appoint- ments till near the time of his death, which was at Bath, his adopted town, Oct. 25, 1858. William Jewett Farley was the second young man from Waldoboro' who received a public education. He was fitted for college at Lincoln and Hebron Academies, and graduated at Bowdoin in the class of 1820. He read with the Hon. Isaac G. Eeed, of his native town, and was ad- 12* 130 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. mitted to the Lincoln bar after the usual period of study. He located himself first at Camden, which then belonged to Lin- coln County, in 1825 ; from there he re- moved, the next year, to Thomaston, where he and his family contributed largely towards the culture and social refinement of the place, and became a competitor of the Hon. John Ruggles and the Hon. Jonathan Cilly in the practice of his profession and in the party politics of that day. He was a young man of a high order of intellect, and uncommon powers of elocution, and very acute discrimination of legal principles, and soon attained to a high position at the bar. He was twice brought forward by the whig party, of which he was the exponent in Thomas- ton, as a candidate for Congress, and with his fine abilities, courteous manners, and amiable disposition, would have done honor to himself and his constituents LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 131 had he been elected; but for want of that popular element, an influence with the masses, he was defeated. Although he died young, he left ample proof that had his life been prolonged he would not only have been an ornament to the bar, but an honor to the State. He was twice married: first to Alice McKeene, of Brunswick, daughter of Eev. Joseph McKeene, LL. D., first president of Bowdoin College, May 10, 1826. She died in 1827. He married for his second wife Sarah Emerson, daughter of Robert Foster, Esq., of West Chester, Penn., a young lady of rare accomplishments, Dec. 10, 1829. He had four children by his second wife: 1. John; 2. Alice McKeene; 3. Benjamin Emerson; 4. Sally Jewett, who is the only one that survived her father, and she is still living in Penn. He died in Thomaston, June 16, 1839, in the 36th year of his age. 132 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. Isaac Groton, brother to the Hon. Na- thaniel, was the third from this town to receive a collegiate education, was fitted at Hebron Academy, and graduated at Bowdoin, in the class of 1821, and died in 1833, aged 33. He read law in the office of Hon. Isaac Gr. Keed, in his na- tive town, and after he was admitted to the bar, he opened an office in Waldo- boro', and soon acquired great notoriety as a collector, and it is believed he de- voted his whole time and energy to ' that particular branch of his profession, and so lucrative was the business, that al- though he died young, he died rich. William Ludwig, after receiving a com- mon school education, put himself under the tuition of the Rev. James Hall, a graduate from the University at Edin- burgh, Scotland, and then gave such attention to the classics and higher LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 133 branches of mathematics as to well qualify him for admission into either of our colleges. But his limited means were exhausted; he therefore abandoned the idea of anything more than an ele- mentary education. In this state of things, he entered his name with Dr. Benjamin Brown, as a student in medi- cine. After the usual course of study, and attending two full courses of lectures, without any pecuniary aid except what he earned by teaching, he graduated at Bowdoin College as Doctor of Medicine in 1825. Other members of the family underwent a similar course of discipline ; but as a paragraph is devoted to each of them in the genealogical arrangement, it is not thought necessary to say anything further in this connection. Isaac Reed, who had advantages be- yond many of his time, received a good classical education at Bloomfield Acad- 134 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. emy, and was well fitted to follow in the footsteps of his father, the Hon. Isaac G. Reed of Waldoboro', who was one of the soundest lawyers at the Lincoln bar ; but seeing, or fancying that he saw, a shorter and more direct road to wealth and re- spectability* and one more congenial to his taste, in commercial pursuits, he abandoned the idea of a profession, and soon became not only rich, but one of the leading men of the State, thereby demon- strating the sentiment most conclusively, that wealth is the royal road to high social position as well as official prefer- ment, and that we have in Republican America a moneyed aristocracy, notwith- standing our boast to the masses that the sovereign people rule. He was State Treasurer from 1856 to 1857 ; has been a member of the State Senate and of the Executive Council, and served three years as Trustee of the Insane Hospital. In 1854 and 1855 he was the whig candi- LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 135 date for Governor, and in 1852 and 1853, he represented his district in the Con- gress of the United States. Edward A. Reed, brother of the pre- ceding, was fitted for college at Warren Academy, and graduated at Union Col- lege, K Y., 1836. He studied his pro- fession with his father, the Hon. Isaac Gr. Reed of Waldoboro 7 , and was admitted to practice after the usual course. He was a young man of eminent abilities, and was every way qualified to prosecute with distinguished success the brilliant career which opened before him He early dis- covered a rare talent for oratory and elo- cution, and was considered one of the finest speakers at Lincoln bar ; but un- fortunately his health soon became im- paired, and he was obliged to abandon the profession which his father had chosen for him, and in which, if his health had not failed, he doubtless would 136 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. have made himself conspicuous, and have ranked high among the members of the bar. Augustus F. Lash received his prepar- atory education at Bloomfield Academy, and from private teachers, and graduated at Bowdoin College in the class of 1829, and died 1848. He took charge of Lin- coln Academy immediately on leaving college, and devoted himself exclusively to teaching. He was a young man of strong mind and much energy of charac- ter, and while in college he excelled in the department of mathematics. He was twice married ; first to Miss Lydia Myric, a sister of Dr. Lot Myric, late of Au- gusta; 2d, Mrs. Melcher of Newcastle. His age was 47.. John Gr. Brown, a young man of much promise, received his academical course at Newcastle Academy, and studied med- LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 137 icine with his father, Dr. Benjamin Brown of Waldoboro', and graduated as Doctor of Medicine at Bowdoin College in the class of 1826. He practiced his profes- sion several years in Waldoboro', mar- ried Miss Bertha Smouse, a step-daughter of the Hon. Isaac GL Reed of that town, a young lady of a highly cultivated mind, and great personal beauty, removed to the new and rising city of Bangor in 1835, earned quite a name as an operat- ing surgeon (a department in which his father was celebrated), then removed to Roxbury, Mass., where he buried his wife in about 1840. From there he removed to Reading, Mass., where he married a second wife, and died in April, 1866. George Sproul is one of the few young men of Waldoboro 7 , who received more than an ordinary education, considering the limited advantages the town afforded for those without pecuniary means. 13 138 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. In 1818 he entered Farmington Acad- emy, then under the care of Rev. William A. Drew, now of Augusta, and remained there for a time, and as mathematics was the study he wished to pursue, he re- moved to Bloomfield Academy, where he was told they had a mathematician, in the person of Rev. James Hall of Edin- burgh, Scotland, who was not excelled by any one in the State, and so he found him. Here he remained about two years, industriously employed in acquiring in- formation. On the opening of the Lyce- um at Gardiner, under the late Dr. Holmes, he entered that institution, and remained some two years, or until he had acquired a thorough and a finished English education. He then abandoned the pursuit of letters as a business, and engaged in shipbuilding, lumbering, and the like, and for a time had command of a ship which he built himself. He soon, however, forsook the sea, as not LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 139 congenial, and employed himself about his large estate; built a brick block, of large proportions, on the site of the old homestead, for himself and tenants; en- larged and improved his mills, wharves, and other productive property, and was at that time regarded as one of the rich men of Waldoboro'. But in an evil hour, when in the height of his prosperity, a great and devastating fire broke out in the village, which left his large block, with many other buildings, nothing but a heap of smouldering ruins, without any insurance. None disheartened, he com- menced the next day making prepara- tions, and in a very short time rebuilt the entire block, in its original style of architecture, and it has been occupied ever since to its utmost capacity. Mr. S. has always been a hard working, in- dustrious man, and had he been less de- sultory in his operations might have left 140 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. a record that would compare favorably with the best of old Waldoboro's sons. Keuben Seiders, son of Jacob Seiders, of Waldoboro, a respectable farmer, in moderate circumstances, fitted himself for college by his own exertions, and was a student at Bodowin in 1827, and gradu- ated in 1831. Subsequently we find him in the divinity school, Cambridge, Mass., where he graduated in 1836, and became a Unitarian preacher. During his residence in Cambridge he contracted an intimacy with a beautiful young lady, of family and fortune, by the name of Austin, in the male line of which the name had become extinct, and wish- ing to perpetuate it, as a matter of com- promise, we presume, he not only took her, but by legislative enactment he took her name also. She and her mother, who constituted the whole family previous to the mar- LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 141 riage, possessed such a fortune as not to require any effort on the part of Mr. S. in the way of support for the family; but like a retired city clergyman, preached only when convenient for him to do so. He was born in Wal., 1809, and grad- uated by the name of Eichard T. Austin, at Bowdoin, in 1831, and at Harvard Divinity School in 1836. He died at Cambridge in 1847, aged 39. Edward R. Benner, a young man of German origin, descended from the Le- vensaler stock, who were celebrated for their ability to acquire knowledge; they can almost be said to be learned by intu- ition. He spent three years at Water- ville College, and in his junior year en- tered Dartmouth College, N. H., where he graduated in 1856. He has been a teacher several years, and is now an apothecary in his native town. 142 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. John J. Bulfinch, son of John Bul- finch of Waldoboro', one of the few of our old school lawyers, was educated at Bowdoin College, and graduated in 1850; at the Bangor Theological Seminary in 1856, and is now a settled Congregational clergyman in Newcastle, Me., where he has charge of a large and intelligent church and society. Henry A. Kennedy, son of Hon. Henry A. Kennedy of Waldoboro', graduated at Waterville College with distinguished honor in 1860, and is now deputy col- lector at the port of Waldoboro'. Almore Kennedy, brother to the above, was a Waterville graduate in 1860 also. He read law with Sebastian S. Marble, and is now in full practice in his native Waldoboro'. LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 143 Graduates. The town of Waldoboro' has /iot furnished a large number of stu- dents in our colleges, considering the number of her inhabitants and the amount of their wealth; nor can we present so long a list of graduates as many other towns in the State. The preceding chapter gives an account of all, from the first settlement of the place to the present day, whose names have ever appeared on a college catalogue. FIFTH GENERATION. 236.

The funeral of the lamented clergyman of the Unita- rian Church at Thomaston, whose sudden decease in this city we announced in our last number, took place on Sunday afternoon, 12th inst., in that town. The universal respect and esteem in which this good man was held throughout the community, were evinced in the spontaneous tribute paid to his memory in the assemblage of great numbers of the citizens of the towns adjoining his residence, as well as of almost the whole population of Thomaston, to unite in the funeral solemnities. Since the interment of General Knox, it is said, no such funeral has been seen in this part of the State. The sacred remains of the beloved pastor, followed by the bereaved family and the mourning relatives, were escorted to the church, so many years the scene of his cherished labors, by a procession con- sisting of several hundreds of the Masonic Fraternity, of which Mr. Fernald was an honored and endeared member. The exterior of the church fronting the street, as well as the interior, were draped in mourn- ing, and a profusion of beautiful flowers the flowers he loved so well from the sweet arbutus, native of the woods, to the choicest productions of parlor and greenhouse covered the cofiSn. Rev. Doct. Robbins of Boston, his own former pastor, who had been ex- pected at the obsequies, but was unable to attend, wrote : " I had great esteem for Mr. Fernald as a man, and especially as a Christian minister. The last time I saw him we had a long conversation, and I was highly gratified and impressed by the earnestness and positiveness of his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, our LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 183 blessed Redeemer." The exercises at the church, which were very appropriate and touching, were con- ducted by the friend and fellow-student of Mr. Fernald in his professional studies, Rev. Mr. Reynolds of Con- cord, Mass., who came here expressly on this mission of duty and affection. The other places of worship in the village were closed. The church was crowded to overflowing by saddened and sympathizing hearts, and yet not one-fifth of those assembled were able to obtain admission. The address of Mr. Reynolds was an eloquent and touching tribute to the excellencies of character which distinguished the departed pastor. In commencing it, Mr. Reynolds remarked that twelve years before, in the exercises* of the ordination of Mr. Fernald over that church, it was his part to grasp his hand, while he extended to him the fellowship of the churches ; and now, when that hand was nerveless and cold in death, he had come to speak some parting words over the bier of his friend, and to testify to the fidelity with which he had discharged his duty as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. The address was replete with tenderness and pathos, and while it portrayed with wonderful accuracy the striking traits of the gentle and loving spirit of the departed, the deepest fountains of feeling were stirred, and heart beat to heart, responsive to the utterance of the speaker. The appreciative and touching analysis of the late pastor's character, the simple, unstudied statement of his faithfulness to his holy calling, his remarkable un- selfishness, his modesty and humility, his care of the "lambs of his flock," his earnestness and zeal in the cause of sound learning, and his untiring energy, in spite of physical weakness, to make the community wiser and better, showed how good are " words fitly 184 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. spoken," and did equal credit to the judgment and heart of the spsaker. He thought the deceased pastor possessed native gifts and graces, which, consecrated to the service of God, peculiarly fitted him for the Christian ministry ; but that his earnest, true life, full of labor and of good fruits, made him worthy of the encomium of the "faithful servant/' who, having re- ceived "five talents," had made them "five talents more." He said Mr. Fernald was naturally retiring, and inclined to shrink from the public gaze ; and that, singularly free as he was from all ambitious aspirations, it was duty, and duty alone, that could have brought him into the foremost front of the battle of life. The interment was according' to the forms and cere- monies of the Masonic Institution, which were con- ducted in a feeling and very appropriate manner by Grand Master Drummond of Portland. At the close, he pronounced a touching eulogium upon the beloved brother whose remains had been committed to the tomb, " earth to earth, ashes to ashes." There, in the peaceful shades of that pleasant ceme- tery, amid the quiet scenes of nature, so dear to him, the waving trees, the songs of birds, the balmy breath of flowers, he "sleeps well." For him we will not weep. To that better land upon which he earnestly strove to fix our thoughts and affections, he has but led the way. " His memory shall smell sweet, and blossom in the dust." But for the bereaved and afflicted ones, for the "lambs of the flock," who now have no one to gather them to the fold, for ourselves, wanderers, as " sheep without a shepherd," well may we "shed the bitter drops like rain." Alas! the de- voted pastor, the faithful counsellor, the affectionate friend, has gone from us forever? "Help, Lord, the LUDWIG GENEALOGY. ^35 godly man ceaseth the faithful fail from among the children of men !" The following hymn, appropriate and beautiful, written by a lady of Rev. Mr. Fernald's society, was read at the church by Mr. Reynolds, and sung to a plaintive air : 1. Thou servant of the Lord, Who lived to do His will, Whose loftiest thought, whose highest aim, Was loving, serving still. 11. Entered into the rest That " His beloved " see, Thy labors o'er thy victory won Henceforth 'tis " well with thee !" tn. But, oh ! for us who mourn The faithful guide and friend, How can the o'erburdened heart but bid Grief's sacred tears descend ! IV. For thine enfranchised soul, From earth-born fetters free, We weep not but the loved and left Are fain to yearn for thee. DOINGS OF EUREKA LODGE, ST. GEORGE. At the stated communication of Eureka Lodge, St. George, May 9th, 1861, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted : Whereas, it has pleased the Great Disposer of events to remove from among us in a sudden and unexpected 19 ; 186 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. manner, our dearly beloved and most worthy brother, Rev. Oliver J. Fernald of Thomaston, who, by the purity of his heart and the uprightness of his life mer- ited the esteem of all who knew him ; therefore, Resolved, That this Lodge, grieving at the loss of an honored brother, one who was useful to the fraternity, from whom it has often received profitable instructions and kind admonitions, and one upon whom it has never called in vain, can but feel that his loss to it and to the fraternity in this region, at this time, is, indeed, irreparable. Resolved, That we will ever hold in remembrance his purity of life, his gentleness of disposition, and his scholastic attainments, and that by them we will ele- vate our own characters and lives. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the family of our deceased brother in this sudden dispensation of Divine Providence, and commend them to the care of Him who watches over the widow and fatherless. Resolved, That the furniture and jewels of this Lodge be put in mourning for the period of thirty days, as a tribute of respect for our departed brother. Resolved, That the Master send a copy of these reso- lutions to the family of our late brother, and cause the same to be published in the Democrat and Free Press, and the Rockland Gazette. W. M.

He had been in the study of medicine, with his father, one year, and attended a full course of lectures at the medical school at Brunswick, but fearing that he would not like the prac- tice of the profession, he abandoned the study, and took passage on board the 188 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. bark Aurelia, at Boston, for New Orleans, where he had a prospect of employment. Ten days out, when they judged them- selves up with Abico, or 'the "Hole in the Wall," he and the captain went aloft to look out for land, and by some miss- step he fell from the maintop to the deck, and was instantly killed. 497.

We are informed that the American ship Sea Queen, of Bath, Me., Nathaniel Groton, master, under arrest in our bay by decree of the Vice Admiralty Court, pending a suit instituted against her by Capt. Moore, of the British bark Defence, for damages done to said vessel, took advantage of the strong easterly wind prevailing last night, to suddenly leave the port, and as we understand took with her the officer placed by the Court of Admiralty on board. This most unadvised and unheard of proceeding on the part of the American master has been the subject of much astonishment here, and it will no doubt give rise to some strong measures on the part of the United States Government, there being, we believe, a treaty between Great Britain and the United States, fully providing for such an act as that which this captain has been guilty of. We are likewise informed that he left the ship's papers in the hands of his counsel. The following modest account of this adventure, corresponding with the above statement, and thereby corroborating the same, was taken from the captain's log- book: 190 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. April IT, 185Y, A. M. : Calm, with pleasant weather ; fine breeze from the east. As I could not get my ship released, got under weigh at 9.30 A. M. under the guns of Gibraltar, and with an officer of the Vice Ad- miralty on board, proceeded to sea. At 11, got out of the bay safely. Made all sail. At midnight, passed Tarifa. Later, increasing breeze ; took in light sails at 4 o'clock ; at 5 o'clock double reefed ; at 10, moder- ated, let out topsails; 11, set top-gallant-sails. So ends. Obs. lat., 36 2, North. 499.

Some fifty years ago, when the religious denomination called Methodists first be- gan to attract attention in this town, Godfrey Ludwig 3 , his son Aaron 4 / and his two brothers, Joseph 3 and James 3 , although they were born and educated in the Lu- theran faith, joined this new order, and soon became leading men among them. Elder Irish, of Union, and Elder Baxter, of Bristol, who often ministered to them, saw the growing state of these young converts, and organized a class of about a dozen members, and appointed Godfrey Ludwig 3 their leader. From that time they continued to aug- ment in numbers and increase in prop- erty, and in a few years constructed a church edifice, of moderate pretentions, and have had regular preaching in it until within a very short time. At present the society is not only di- vided, but sub-divided; a part of them LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 193 worship at East-North Waldoboro', where they have a meeting-house, and a part hold their meetings at the village proper, which will in time, undoubtedly, sw r allow up both the other societies. The few, with their descendants, who first organized at West-North Waldoboro', have not yet abandoned their old place of worship, and probably will not, for all experience shows that place of worship is second only to worship itself. My object in introducing this chapter is merely to show that this branch of the Ludwig family were not only active in this enterprise, but were instrumental in organizing and keeping up this society until the present time, thereby promoting in an eminent degree the cause of virtue and religion in a community where vice and immorality once threatened their peace and prosperity. 20 194 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 599.

The following is an abstract from a me- morial, written in the German language, of Philip Christoph Vogler, an ancestor of that branch of the Fogler family, who have intermarried with the Ludwigs : LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 201 He was born at Gundelsheim, in the Palatinate, Ger- many, April 7, 1725. His parents were Lutherans, and he was thus educated. Besides attending to farm- ing, in his youth he learned a tailor's trade. In 1742, he emigrated with his father to America, and located in New England, near Broad Bay. Soon after, the Indian war broke out, which forced him to become a soldier. He was stationed at Copperston, for nearly four years, when he was married to Catherine Sides, and by whom he had six sons and four daughters. One son and one daughter died before him. Of the remain- ing, two sons and one daughter reside in Salem, Mass., one son and two daughters in Friedland, one son in the neighborhood of Bethania, N. C, and one son remained in New England. In 1*761, he and his family became deeply interested in a revival of religion, under the ministration and instruction of the Moravian Brethren, Herr and Socble of Bethlehem, Penn. His inability to read the word of God troubled him, and with his chil- dren he began to avail himself of the instruction of Mr. Socble, and soon attained the desired object. In 1770, with his own and seven other families, he removed to South Carolina, landing at Fayesville. His wife, from sickness and fatigue, soon died. With the rest of the company, he reached Wachozia in Novem- ber, where they established themselves, with some families previously settled, and soon organized a coun- ty congregation called Friedland. In 1172, he was again married, to Barbara Fiscuss, by whom he had two children, who died young. In 1780, the mother died. After remaining a widower for some time, he again married, a third wife, Christiana Mary Schener, born in Bethania, to which place he removed, giving up his plantation to his son. He was 21 202 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. industrious, honest and earnest ; sometimes impetuous in temper. Conscious of his imperfections, he was penitent for any outbreak of passion, and studiously sought to make redress for any real or imaginary wrong he might have committed, mentally or morally. In August, IT 90, himself, wife and step-daughter were stricken down with violent fever. He expressed an impression that his life would terminate in the course of the week, and requested the commemoration of the Lord's Supper, which was complied with. Serene and happy, afterwards, he passed away, August 20, 1*780, in Bethania, then Stokes, now Forsyth County, N. C. 183.

CONCLUSION.. As far into the misty past as we are obliged to search for the name of Ludwig, we must go still farther and search among the labyrinths of ages to find the origin of the German race. If we were to rely upon the absurdity of Tacitus, we might infer that they were indigenous. The light of reason and revelation forbids anything so preposterous. Climate and condition have had their influence upon the herds of barbarians invading the Hercynian for- ests, and contending with a power as formidable as the Roman Empire. Some of the most civilized nations of modern Europe originated from the in- habitants in the black forests of Ger- many. As these immense woods have disappeared, in the lapse of ten centuries, from the time of Charlemagne, and the earth opened to the rays of the sun and LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 215 the cold, invigorating winds of the north, the inhabitants have gained a loftier stat- ure, and a constitutional firmness, yet undeveloped in a more temperate climate. Gibbon says, "among the nations who have adopted the Mosaic History of the world, the Ark of Noah has been of the same use, as was formerly the seige of Troy to the Greeks and Romans. " Upon a small nucleus of truth may be reared a large superstructure of fabulous import in any period of the world, but in the early and middle ages this danger was fearfully augmented. If other na- tions claim their origin and language from the comfounded and dispersed people who were engaged in building the Tower of Babel, we cannot see why the German race may not assume the same prerog- ative. Whatever may have been the origin of the German race, they have furnished the world with great men in every depart- 216 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. ment of knowledge. Ecclesiastical his- tory would be incomplete without a Mar- tin Luther, a Melancthon, or a Neander. In the natural sciences, a Humbolt and a Liebig are our largest contributors. In diplomacy and international law, the Metternichs are rarely equalled. In po- etry, Schiller and Goethe. In music, Beethoven and Strauss. In monetary affairs, the Eothschilds rule the European world. Notwithstanding all we have said of Germany and the German people, it is a' strange country. With all its abundance of literature, and the prevalence of edu- cation, with, also, freedom of religious opinion, it is far from being a/ree country. They retain many of the elements of the old feudal system in all their social, civil and political relations. The free city, in their confederation, is nothing more than a league town, under another name ; and so with their compact, for all practical LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 217 purposes, it is but a rope of sand, as the late disturbances in Holstein and Schles- wig will testify. The people are despoti- cally ruled by great or petty Princes, and have only here and there a mock form of representative government. The lower classes are entirely destitute of the means of improving their condition. Though a country from which more of the elements of freedom sprung than any other, it is now unquestionably among the least free of all the nations of Christendom. It would be, comparatively, an easy task to fill out many pages with the lights and shades of the retrospective years and scenes just glanced at in the preceding record. Many of them now form a prom- inent part of our public history, and if once entered upon, it would be a difficult matter to find a satisfactory place for con- clusion. The author has only sought to rescue a few facts connected with his family chronological data, from the ob- 23 218 LUDWIG GENEALOGY. livion which the turmoil of the present agitated condition of our government seems to impose, and to enkindle a love and reverence in the youth of the present generation, for something more permanent than traditionary lore. The love of* home and home influences are fast fading away in the activities of the times. So much of change stimulates the public mind, the scenes of early life become obliterated, and the tender and delicate tissues of household relations are less impressive than in former years. As, toil-worn with travel and adventure, we return in after years to revisit our birth-place, the rule of advance in the anticipated growth of the trees, seems to have changed to an order for receding in size and grandeur; the mountain whose summit reached the clouds, and behind which, in our childish imagination, the golden sun went down like a monarch, and the magnitude of the river forming LUDWIG GENEALOGY. 219 the boundary line of the homestead, di- minish in rapid ratio. We may not linger here. If this unpretending volume affords the reader as much quiet satisfaction in its perusal as it has its author in retracing his ancestry and recalling the events con- nected with the family history in years long gone by, his patience and labor will not have been expended in vain ; if other- wise, may his effort lie hidden in the folded mantle of silence.
