INTRODUCTION. 
 
 SMALL as this book is, it is yet much larger, and has called for 
 much more labor and inquiry, than it was supposed would be 
 necessary in order to complete a pretty full register of the descend- 
 ants of Deacon John Bridge. 
 
 I have been helped in my work in unlooked-for ways, and to an 
 unexpected extent. Now and then, too, I have been baffled in secur- 
 ing information which I had thought easily attainable. Grateful to 
 many, whom I may not mention, for their aid and interest. 1 must 
 particularly express my indebtedness to a few. for important services 
 necessarv to any approach towards completeness which I may have 
 been able to make in some branches. 
 
 In the line of the second Matthew, helped by the energetic kind- 
 ness of Mrs. E. I. Lovett. and of Miss Anne M. Kilham. we have a 
 nearlv complete genealogy. One great trouble has been in tracing 
 the line of Nathaniel the Teacher. But even here the good services 
 of Mrs. Waldo Adams, and of Mr. S. J. Bridge, have finally availed 
 to make the tale, for the most part, tolerably perfect. 
 
 The study of the line of Joseph has been perplexing, and the 
 results more defective than I had reason to hope. Many of his 
 descendants have shown a hearty wish to help me. but no one could 
 furnish much other desired matter than what facts each could tell 
 about his own family. 
 
 Of this line I am indebted to Mr. Charles A. Bridge of Boston for 
 his active interest in the work, which led him to suggest the issue of 
 circulars of inquiry among the descendants of Deacon John Bridge, 
 and for his kind offer to attend to the printing of these circulars. 
 The Lev. William D. Bridge of New Haven, also of this line, seemed 
 eager, by the issue of circulars and otherwise, to give me effi- 
 cient aid. 
 
 Several members of this family early strayed widely from home. 
 George, one of the grandsons, may have settled in Madison County. 
 in Central New York. If so. a register of many of his posterity 
 
4 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 might be made. But that this was the fact was not evident enough, 
 nor was the account of the New York family precise and full enough, 
 to determine me to follow out his line. 
 
 Mr. Charles Bridge of Albany has furnished a large part of the 
 matter concerning the children of Ebenezer, son of John, and has 
 introduced me to a correspondence which has enabled us to trace 
 most of that line. The interest of Mr. Guv Sylvester Bridge in his 
 family line has been of good service to us both. 
 
 For an account of the posterity of Franklin Bridge, a grandson 
 of Samuel, I am indebted to Mr. Edward C. Lowe of Water- 
 ville. Me. 
 
 To Miss Hannah E. North I am very grateful for several items 
 of information with regard to Samuel's descendants, and for the 
 opportunity to examine the Bible owned by the first Matthew, and 
 to study the results of large labors in England ; though, as these 
 labors seemed to me to lead to no certain conclusion, I have not 
 thought it well to present any digest of them here. 
 
 Beside the important help he has rendered in tracing many of the 
 descendants of Matthew and of John, I am indebted to Mr. Samuel J. 
 Bridge for invaluable services, both direct and indirect, in my study 
 of his own branch, — that of the descendants of Samuel. Indeed, a 
 large part of the merit of this genealogy, whatever that merit may 
 be, is due to him who moved me to undertake it, and who has con- 
 tinually been eager to do all in his power, by inquiry and otherwise, 
 to render it full and free from imperfections. 
 
 WILLIAM F. BRIDGE. 
 Foster's Crossing, Ohio, 
 Jan., 1884. 
 
 I have sometimes had occasion to change the dates which I have 
 found in books or manuscripts to make them correspond with tran- 
 scripts from town records, or from the registers of family Bibles. I 
 cannot, of course, hope that I have fallen into no errors in this 
 matter of dates. I can only say that I have been as cautious and 
 carefnl as possible. 
 
THE 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN BEIDGE. 
 
 DEACON JOHN BRIDGE. 
 
 JOHN BRIDGE, whose descendants we are to trace, was horn, 
 we may with reason take for granted, in Essex County. Eng- 
 land, about the year 1578. 
 
 His parentage seems undiscoverable. All that we know suggests 
 or favors the conclusion that he was near of kin, cousin, or. perhaps, 
 brother, of William Bridge, the steadfast and respected Noncon- 
 formist divine of Norwich, who was a prominent member of the 
 Westminster Assembly, and author of discourses that are still read 
 and prized. 
 
 John, undoubtedly, was a Franklin, a good representative of a 
 class whose character is depicted by a writer of that time as •• One 
 whose outside is an ancient yeoman of England, though his inside 
 may give arms with the best gentleman and never see the herald. 
 He is lord 'paramount within himself; and, to end all, he cares not 
 when his end comes. He needs not fear his audit, for his quietus is 
 in Heaven." 
 
 That he was of a lineage respectable for character is clear, not 
 only from what we know of himself, but from whatever mention we 
 can find of those of his name in that generation. 
 
 self-respect, and a special regard to religious obligation - to 
 
 mark them all. 
 
 They were intelligent, sincere Puritans. And m: was a mai 
 in-- all honor. A man of the people, in earnest, without pretense, 
 without putting himself forward. lie left England, he had 
 
 won. by his integrity, energy, and intelligence, the confidence and 
 regard of those of higher social rank: and. from the day he joined 
 the colony in the New World, he was evidently a trusted and efficient 
 leader. 
 
6 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN BRIDGE. 
 
 He came to New England with the Braiutree Company, or with 
 the Hooker Company, as it was indifferently called. This company 
 reached Mount Wollaston, and was assigned to Cambridge in 
 1632. 
 
 This was the year before that in which Hooker himself came. 
 John was probably from Chelmsford. Braintree, or that neighbor- 
 hood. . Various circumstances lead to this conclusion. Among 
 others, his intimacy, which seems to have been close, with Hooker 
 and with Shepherd. 
 
 Hooker had not been here eight months, when, on May 14. 1634, 
 many of the Newtown people asked leave of the General Court to 
 look out for " enlargement or removal." 
 
 ••Without understanding their plan." says Palfrey, "leave was 
 granted." In the following September, Hooker, with others, pro- 
 posed a removal to the Connecticut Valley. He urged, among other 
 reasons, their poverty, their inability to support their minister, their 
 being crowded, and the strong ! ">nf of spirit thither. 
 
 It seems not improbable that Hooker's dissatisfaction with his 
 position at Cambridge, conceived so soon after his arrival here, was 
 the occasion of John Bridge's urging Shepherd to come over, to 
 which reference has been so often made ; with the assurance, as 
 Shepherd says, of finding a place in the colon}- for him. 
 
 However that may be. we know that after a previous unsuccessful 
 attempt to leave England. Shepherd did reach our shores in Oct., 
 L635. And in the following June Hooker started with his large 
 company for the west. 
 
 Hooker drew off with him to the banks of the Connecticut a large 
 portion of the early settlers of Cambridge. Bridge, however, had 
 evidently, from the first, determined to establish himself permanently 
 in the New Towne. Accordingly, on the August after the June when 
 the dissatisfied Cambridge men first asked leave to go elsewhere, one 
 hundred acres of land on the west side of Charles River are granted 
 to Symon Willard, seventy-five acres to John Bridge, and twenty-five 
 to Dollard Davis. 
 
 And the next year, the Proprietor's Records tell of the grant of 
 land iust mentioned, and. beside, describe in the following manner 
 his house-lot in connection with others. 
 
 •• Grant to Dollard Davis. June 4, 1635 one house-lot of half a 
 rood more or less ; Water Street northwest John Bridg southwest, 
 William Andrews northeast. William Westwood east." 
 
 I copy from Mr. Horace Davis's sketch of his ancestor. Dolor 
 Davis, the above quotation. The place of John's first house at Cam- 
 
DEACON JOHN BRIDGE. 7 
 
 bridge is marked in the map which Mr. Paige has prefixed to his 
 history of the town according to the plan herewith given. It will be 
 observed that in the re-distribution of the lots in 1C42. after the 
 departure of Hooker and his company, John had disposed of his lot 
 (50) and took Lot 42. on the northeast corner of Winthrop (Long) 
 and of Holyoke (Crooked) Street.

 But we have no reason to suppose John ever lived on Lot No. 42. 
 On the contrary, about 1638, he owned a house and about twelve 
 acres of land on Brattle Street, where was his permanent home. 
 Mr. S. J. Bridge has ascertained, beyond a doubt on his part, that 
 the Craigie House, Washington's Headquarters, the home of Long- 
 fellow, now stands on this land. 
 
 A- hi- friend Shepherd, whom he had helped to draw from Eng- 
 land, refused the solicitations of Hooker to follow that pioneer, so 
 our ancestor was bound all the more to remain at Cambridge to be 
 the constant assistant and supporter of his pastor and friend. 
 
8 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN BRIDGE. 
 
 John Bridge was a man of "deeds, not words," so we have but 
 little but the record of what he did. or was called to do, handed 
 down by which to judge of him. Bnt these things he was set to do, 
 so numerous, so important for the service of the infant colony, prove 
 him to have been of good common sense, of sound, roundabout judg- 
 ment, of unbending integrity, and of an unwearied energy. He 
 made these qualities serve for a liberal education and for a high 
 descent. 
 
 And therefore it was because of these well trained and exorcised 
 faculties of his that he is made of use in all sorts of public service 
 from the start. 
 
 The town is to be organized ; he is put upon the first Board of 
 " Townsmen," as its selectmen were then called, men to whom the 
 general oversight of all town affairs was to be entrusted. And he 
 continues so to serve for at least twelve years, almost consecutively, 
 while the new office, peculiar to New England, and established in 
 Cambridge, among the first towns to adopt it, is getting its work 
 defined and is taking its character. 
 
 It was not till 1634 that ecclesiastical and civil affairs began to be 
 regarded as belonging to separate provinces in the Colony. Natu- 
 rally, — almost, or quite of necessity. — men of intelligent earnest- 
 ness, who regarded their religious obligations their most important, 
 their all-iucluding, obligations, and who left a cherished home very 
 reluctantly, and only at the call of an imperative duty, solely because 
 they were hindered in their fidelity to those obligations, — such men, 
 in the circumstances of the Puritan Fathers, would nut conceive 
 of the idea of a government for themselves apart from their 
 church. 
 
 But very soon experience taught that some distinction must lie 
 made. Connected with the dawning of the idea of such a distinction 
 was the plan adopted of sending representatives to a general court, 
 which should have management of civil affairs. Hitherto, all free- 
 men, that is. all church members, took direct part in the government. 
 It was not till 1G36 that representation was first roughly apportioned, 
 allowing no representative to a town of less than ten freemen, one 
 representative to twenty freemen or less, two to forty, and to no 
 town more than three. And the next year, and for the three follow- 
 ing years, John Bridge must find leisure from church and town 
 affairs, for a time, to go to the infant Legislature, where he is imme- 
 diately put upon committees of diverse kinds, to run town line-, to 
 lay out lands, to do whatever seems most important for the forming 
 State. 
 
DEACON JOHN BBIDGE. 
 
 The church at New Towne is organized in 1635. He is chosen at its 
 start its deacon, — chosen, that is, to the most honored office a layman 
 could then hold, an office which implied its holder was recoguized as a 
 head man in the community not less than in the church. The church, 
 indeed, was the community, or stood for it. In this Commonwealth. 
 where church members were the only citizens to whom the franchises 
 ged, the officers of the church discharged very many of the 
 duties of the magistrates even when the distinction between civil 
 and ei - ical affairs had long been recognized. And they re- 
 
 ceived a deference greater than the magistrates, as such, could ordi- 
 narily claim. All grants of lands, for example, were theu certified 
 by a committee consisting of ministers and deacons. 
 
 The school is started in 1636. In 1642, it is directed that, " ac- 
 cording Order of Court for Townsmen to see to Education of 
 Children. John Bridge shall take care of all families on tha side of 
 the highway his hor.se is ou." 
 
 Thus, as townsman aud statesman, and as one interested in the 
 intellectual, moral, and religious welfare of the infant colony, our 
 ancestor wrought his disinterested, modest, faithful, busy, honorable 
 life into the life of the Commonwealth for more than thirty years. 
 To bless his posterity, there is left on our early Colony State Papers 
 the record of his useful activity in the varied important work bidden 
 him to do. For his undoubted fidelity, let his posterity pronounce 
 him, top, blessed, and honor his name by cherishing a like fidelity, 
 aud a like modest, hearty, intelligent, carefully-trained consecration 
 of themselves to the common weal ; that they may be ready in their 
 lot, a- he was in his. to do the efficient, beneficent service for which 
 the State will ever have abundant occasion to call.

DEACOB JOHN BRIDGE.

 When the Brst parish lax was laid, we find the four leading- tax- 
 payers to have been Samuel Stone, William Munroe, Benjamin 
 Muzzay, and Matthew Bridge. 
 
 It is noteworthy that the community at Cambridge was, from its 
 general intelligence, for which it was distinguished, or on some other 
 account, but little troubled by presumed eases of witchcraft; and 
 that, in perhaps the only important instance of supposed possession, 
 the victims were declared innocent. Two certificates to the Christian 
 character of Winnefret Holman, and to her evident freedom from all 
 signs of possession are presented, which we may suppose released 
 her from her danger. These are now valuable witnesses of the good 
 sense and intelligence of John Palfrey and of Matthew Bridge, who 
 are prominent signers of the one, and of Anne (Danforth) Bridge, 
 Elizabeth Bridge, and John Bridge, who signed the other. 
 
 In 1643, Matthew became a member of the Artillery Company. 
 In the same year, he m. Anne, dan. of Nicholas and Elizabeth 
 (Svmmes) Danforth. 
 
 Nicholas Danforth, son of Thomas, and grandson of Thomas, 
 father of a distinguished line, and himself an honored man, came 
 from Framingham, County of Suffolk, Eng., in 1634. His wife, 
 Elizabeth Svmmes, d. at her English home on Feb. 22, 162'.). 
 She was the dau. of Rev. William Symmes, whose father, Wil- 
 liam, with his wife, suffered during Queen Mary's reign. Her 
 brother, Rev. Zechariah Symmes, came over in 1034, and was settled 
 in Charlestown. For these facts concerning Mrs. Danforth, I am 
 indebted to the editors of a forthcoming book of the Danforth family, 
 that all descendants of John Bridge must eagerly look for.

 etc. Also 20 acres of woodland. See Pond's Watertown, Liver-

 Elizabeth and Martha lived, after their father's decease, with their 
 energetic and faithful sister Abigail, who. early deprived of her hus- 
 band, continued his business with the success she deserved, and 
 wisely and well conducted the education of her children. See 
 •• Account of Descendants of John and Elinor Whitney," and espe- 
 cially -Incidents in the Life of Samuel Whitney, and Account of 
 his Descendants." by Henry Austin Whitney. Esq., which last is 
 •• privately printed." 
 
 Matthew Bridge is said to have divided his main farm of four 
 hundred acres, which lay compactly, into four parts, of one hundred 
 each, and, on the marriage of each son, he saw to the erection 
 of a substantial dwelling-house of two stories, in the best style of the 
 time, for the Home of the new family. These four houses are still 
 standing "in a good state of preservation." Here the four brothers 
 lived through their lives, in harmony. •• provoking each other " only 
 •'to good works " of social and civil service. They were men of mark 
 in the community, dividing among themselves a very large share of 
 the town business. 
 
 FOURTH GENERATION. 
 (a) The Family of Matthew Bridge. 
 
 Captain Matthew Bridge (14. 3), who was the oldest son of Mat- 
 thew Bridge, jr.. was b. in Lexington. March 1. 1694. ••Gentle- 
 man." is his title in the records of his day. He. too. like his father, 
 served his native town as Selectman. Town-Clerk. Assessor, and 
 Treasurer, doing the duties of one or more of these offices almost 
 every year from 1732 to 1749. 
 
 In 1751. he was set off, with his farm, to Waltham. We find an 
 
 entry that in that year he " gave to the town of Waltham. £1 6s. 8d., 
 
 in consideration of his congregating with them." He had bought in 
 
 "1722, from the Bowman family, the large property at the corner of 
 
 Forest and Trapelo Street-.

 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 ■Rev. Matthew Bridge (1.1) was b. July 18, 1721 : H. C. 1741 ; 
 ordained at Framingham, Feb. 19, 1746; m. in 1747. Anne. dan. of 
 Rev. Daniel I II. C. 1717) and Anne (Foster) Perkins of West Bridge- 
 water. She. after Matthew's decease, in. April 11. 1780, in Sudbury, 
 
 Rev. Timothy Harrington of Lancaster, and d. in Framingham. May 
 12. 
 
 On his very ordination day began the discipline which set forth 
 and helped develop his character. A protest against his ordination 
 was made by members of his church to the council, because he did 
 not. it was urged, believe in the Five Points of Calvin then held by 
 so many Congregational Churches to belong to the very essence of 
 Christianity. Underneath the protest lay. too, the feeling that the 
 minister elect favored the, opposition of a large part of his church 
 members to the methods of the "Great Awakening." as the revival 
 preaching started by Edwards and Whitfield was called. 
 
 The opposition grew, so that, the next spring, a new society was 
 formed. It was doubtless owing, in large part, to the good sense of 
 their minister, to his substantial merits, to his character, that this 
 persistent opposition was finally overcome. — was overcome, notwith- 
 standing the excellent qualities of mind and heart of the pastor of 
 the dissentients : so that, after thirteen years, their society made up 
 their mind to disband, and many of them returned to the welcome of 
 the mother church. 
 
 And the quiet, persistent, straightforward holding on and holding 
 out. in what seemed to him to be the path of duty, implied in the 
 manner in which he met this first opposition, seems to have been 
 characteristic of his whole life. He was not a great preacher. He was 
 something better than that. — a good pa-*L<>r. and an excellent man. 
 
 He was after the type of some of the best country minister- of his 
 day. serviceable to his people as a shrewd adviser in their material 
 concern : settling disputes, making wills, conveying property, doing 
 the work of a chamber counsellor with the good will of a minister. 
 
16 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 " Good "himself, he wished everybody else so." and thus. " because 
 of his extremely benevolent feelings, he became much beloved by his 
 people and esteemed by those of other towns." 
 
 And. as is necessary to the energetic promoter of good will, there 
 was the spirit of the Hero in him. On the breaking out of the war, 
 he knew that where the encounter could not be avoided, save by the 
 surrender of manhood, there was a place for the minister of peace 
 even on the field of battle. He was one of the first chaplains to 
 volunteer, and had his place assigned him by the side of Washington 
 under the Great Elm at Cambridge. He bore so close a resemblance 
 to the commander-in-chief, "that, upon horseback especially, it was 
 difficult to tell them apart." 
 
 •• He was over six feet in height, with very black hair, that fell in 
 curls over his coat collar. He had piercing black eyes and an erect 
 form." He had so fine a presence when a young man that, "when 
 he brought his wife into the church on the first Sunday alter his mar- 
 riage, the congregation rose at one impulse, as an involuntary tribute 
 to the striking dignity of this man and of this woman." 
 
 And as he was first, or among the first, of his profession to offer 
 his services to his country during the war. so he was one of the first 
 martyrs of the contest. A disease contracted by camp exposure 
 forced him home, to die. on the 2d of September. 1775. 
 
 It surely would not be amiss for Framingham t<> raise to his 
 memory the monument which the town voted in 1779. and which it 
 again contemplated in 1801.

 papers now before me, the main part of them originally furnished by 
 the head of the Bartlet (Bartletot) family, now living in England, 
 seems to trace clearly her descent from one at least of the followers 
 of William the Conqueror. The descent is through Ensign Thomas 
 Bartlett, Watertown, 1635, an original proprietor, whose youngest 
 dau. Abial m. Deacon Jonathan Saunderson. Their son Edward 
 was father of Mary (Saunderson) Fiske. See Bond. pp. 1* and

 1761, and d. June 19, 1801. Graduating from college while still 
 eighteen years of age, and called to the charge of a parish before he 
 was twenty-two. " he soon distinguished himself." " Endowed with 
 a strong mind and a sound judgment and being a good scholar he 
 possessed eminent talents as a preacher." " Beside a good personal 
 appearance he had a pleasantness, a solemnity and dignity in his 
 voice, style, and address which seldom concentre in any man.*' 
 
 •• Wherever he went to preach, his appearance gave pleasure; he 
 was heard with avidity, and his people were considered happy, and 
 almost envied, in having such a minister. He presided at Councils 
 with meekness and dignity. He was continually in request at ordi- 
 nations and other public occasions. He preached an Election Ser- 
 mon and a Convention Sermon, and read at the University the 
 Dudleian Lecture. All these honors together were then very rarely 
 conferred on one Minister." 
 
 "Among his brethren he was greatly beloved and esteemed. To 
 the association of which he was a member, he was an unspeakable 
 loss. Ministers. Churches, and Societies, involved in trouble, sought 
 his advice and influence as Peacemaker and Judge." "He was en- 
 joyed by all before him while they lived, and by all who were after 
 him while he lived." "The praise of Bridge." says McKeen. four- 
 teen vears after his decease, "a goodly man and faithful, is still in 
 all the Churches." 
 
 He. too. as were most of his profession in that generation, and as 
 have been very many of his name, was earnestly interested in edu- 
 cation. One of the first Academies started in Massachusetts. — insti- 
 tutions which did such eminently good work in the last century. — 
 was that at Framingham. It was very prosperous. He was one of its 
 original Trustees, and continued in its service as such till his decease.

 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 (1) Edmund Bridge (2.2), b. Aug. 6, 1739. At the age of 
 twenty-one he left his father's house to find a new place for himself 
 in some unsettled region. He was drawn to Maine, — to that part 
 of Pownalborough on the lower Kennebec now called Dresden. 
 There he worked for three years, clearing the land and preparing for 
 a home. He then returned to Lexington, and m. Sept. 6, 1764, his 
 cousin Phoebe, dau. of Joseph and Thankful (Forbush) Bowman. 
 She was b. May 7, 1747, and d. July 24, 1828. 
 
 The energy which impelled him also, as well as his ancestors of 
 the first and second generations, to be a pioneer, soon made him con- 
 spicuous as a servant of the common weal. He was first made Clerk 
 of the Town, then a Justice of the Peace, when, so to serve, gave 
 quite large distinction. Then came on the quarrel with England, and 
 he knew where to place himself and what to do. He was " active in 
 sustaining the Revolutionary Government, and was put on the Com- 
 mittees of Safety and Correspondence." 
 
 Before peace was proclaimed, in 1782, he was made High' Sheriff of 
 Lincoln County, and served as such for more than thirty years. The 
 office at that time conferred marked distinction. He d. Sept. 10, 1785. 
 
 He was, we are told, of middle height, compactly built, with an 
 open, expressive countenance, showing kind benevolence. No man 
 was more esteemed and beloved by all classes. Giving the careful 
 heed of an exemplary parent to the education of his own children, he 
 earnestly and judiciously sought to promote the intellectual, moral, 
 and religious education of all the children in his neighborhood. 
 
 In North's History of Augusta, in Willis's Lawyers and Law 
 Courts of Maine, and in the Appendix to Willis, giving sketches of 
 this family by Hon. John H. Shepherd, are interesting accounts of 
 himself and of his descendants. 
 
 His wife was tall and of large frame. She was an excellent woman, 
 firm, energetic, and persevering, and doing her full part in exercising 
 the large-hearted, almost unlimited, hospitality of the house. Twenty- 
 five saddles, belonging to the different guests that they entertained, 
 who had chanced to come together the evening before, she counted 
 on one morning in her kitchen. Tallyrand and Louis Phillippe were 
 among their foreign visitors. No American of distinction seems to 
 have found his way to their neighborhood, whether drawn thither by 
 the fame of their attractions or from other causes, who did not meet 
 with a cordial reception from them and a home with them while he 
 could stay.

 SIXTH GENERATION. 
 
 (6) Hon. James Bridge (14. 1), b. Sept. 21, 1765, H. C. 1787. 
 He read law with Hon. Tkeophilus Parsons, along with his classmate 
 and chnm, John Quincy Adams. In 1790, he opened a law office in 
 Hallowell. Circumstances favored "his conceded ability" and his 
 energy, so that he early acquired a large and profitable practice. 
 His quickness of parts, and his comparatively easy circumstances, 
 were not allowed to be his excuse from persevering industry. He 
 was tall and imposing in form, and an accomplished and graceful 
 speaker. 
 
 In 1799, he was chosen as Representative to the Massachusetts 
 Legislature. In 1800, he became Judge of Probate for Kennebec 
 County. He was a member of the Executive Council in 1818, and 
 a leading member of the Convention to revise the State Constitution 
 in 1819. 
 
 His refined literary taste, his great industry, and his inflexible and 
 firmly-rooted principles, joined to a commanding and attractive per- 
 sonal appearance, made him always prominent. He was a diligent 
 reader, especially of theology, history, and classical Euglish litera- 
 ture. Dr. Johnson was a special favorite. He used often to repeat 
 the doctor's maxim, evidently regarding it as a fundamental principle, 
 that, " to be happy at home is the ultimate end of all ambition." 
 
 I derive this account of Judge Bridge from North's History of 
 Augusta. The interesting narrative in that book should be read in 
 detail. The promised sketch of his life b}" his second son and name- 
 sake, to appear in the Encyclopedia of Biography, makes further 
 account of him here superfluous.

 business. She was b. May 4, 1782, and d. June 15, 1836. 
 
 When little more than twent\"-three years of age, he became junior 
 partner with Robert G. Shaw, in the firm of Shaw, Barker, and 
 Bridge. For years he had already been in Mr. Shaw's employment. 
 The firm was very popular, doing a large auction and commission 
 business. In a few years Mr. Shaw withdrew, and finally the part- 
 nership of Barker and Bridge was dissolved. 
 
 In 1811, Mr. Bridge removed with his family to Dresden. From 
 this time, he gave himself, in his leisure, to the service of his native 
 town, as Selectman, as Overseer of the poor, and as a good citizen 
 and benevolent man. " Respected for his talents and beloved for his 
 virtues," he d. Dec. 12, 1821.

 the Pacific coast, with large duties and responsibilities, and con- 
 tinued to serve seventeen and one-half years, till the office was 
 abolished in 1862. His important work included the supervision 
 of all the customs on the Pacific coast in California, Oregon, and 
 Washington Territory. Since his retirement, he has spent his 
 summers at the old home in Dresden, and devoted the rest of the 
 year to varied and extensive travelling in all parts of the world. 
 He received the honorary degree of A.M. from Harvard College in 
 1880.

 Edward and Rebecca Garfield. Edward was the son of Edward Gar- 
 field, who was b. in England in 1575. He came to this country with

 APPENDIX II. 
 
 THE LITHGOW FAMILY. 
 
 (1) Col. William Lithgow, the father of the husband of Martha 
 (Bridge) Lithgow, see (d) Samuel Bridge, 15. 2, was the sou of 
 Robert Lithgow of Boston. 
 
 Robert was a Scotchmau, who emigrated from Ireland, whither his 
 ancestors had fled at the time of the Rebellion. He probably came 
 to this country in one of the ships chartered b}- Robert Temple, with 
 his son William, then about three years of age. He went from Bos- 
 ton, perhaps, to Temple's Settlement, near Merrymeeting Bay, at the 
 mouth of the Kennebec. 
 
 William was b. circa 1715. He was early in command at Fort 
 Richmond on the Kennebec. In Sept., 1754, Fort Halifax was estab- 
 lished near the junction of the Sebasticot and Kennebec Rivers. 
 Capt. Lithgow was put in command of it. He had at that time, 
 he says, been in the service for twenty years. He was therefore 
 attached to the Garrison of St. George's Fort in 1734, set. 19. 
 
 At the organization of Lincoln County in 1760, he was made a 
 Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. This office he continued to 
 hold through the Revolutionary period. 
 
 He was a cultivated and courteous gentleman, as well as an ener- 
 getic and faithful officer. He d. Dec. 20, 1798. See North's Au- 
 gusta, and especially the interesting memorial of him in the eighth 
 volume of the Collections of the Maine Historical Society- , Art. V., 
 4i Fort Halifax." 
 
 He m. before 174G, Sarah, dau. of Col. Arthur Noble of George- 
 town, near the mouth of the Kennebec. Sarah was b. in 1725. 
 
 Col. Noble is said to have been b. in Enniskillen, Ulster, Ireland. 
 He came to America, perhaps with, or certainly not many years 
 after, Robert Lithgow. He was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel 
 of Col. Waldo's Regiment to be raised for the expedition to reduce 
 Louisburg. That fort was the strongest on our continent. The 
 French cruisers, whom it protected, were a sad annoyance to our 
 fishing vessels. 
 
80 THE L1THGOW FAMILY. 
 
 Within fifty-six days, the Provinces raised forty-three hundred 
 men for the reduction. Waldo was made Brigadier-General, and 
 gave about a fourth of his command in charge to Col. Noble. 
 
 The fall of Louisburg, June 17, 1745, excited the fears of the 
 French lest they should lose all Canada. They accordingly sent out 
 from Brest, in the following year, the most powerful fleet that had 
 been raised for North America. The}* intended with this fleet to 
 retake Louisburg, then to capture Annapolis, to destroy Boston, and 
 to lay waste as much as possible of the coast as it proceeded to the 
 West Indies. But a tedious voyage of ninety days, a severe storm 
 that destroyed many a ship, sickness, the lateness of the season, the 
 death of the commander, followed by that of the vice-admiral, all 
 conspired to force them to give up their plan of recapture. 
 
 In Nov., 1746, Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts, who had in charge 
 the management of Nova Scotia, was induced to send out a thousand 
 New England troops to quarter in Acadia, and so to harass the in- 
 habitants that they should find it convenient, taking their families 
 with them, to abandon the Province. This was nine years before the 
 expulsion which is celebrated by Mr. Longfellow in his Evangeline. 
 
 That Col. Noble had done yeoman service in the taking of Louis- 
 burg in the previous year is shown otherwise, and by his appointment 
 to lead this expedition in the heart of winter, for it was a peculiarly 
 laborious and perilous enterprise. 
 
 He sailed in December, and conducted his little army by land, 
 heroically and wisely, over ridges and through deep snows, along the 
 border of the Bay of Fuudy and of the basin of Minas, one hundred 
 and fifty miles up from the entrance of the ba}\ The tides here are 
 prodigious. Spring tides are of seventy feet height. "With the 
 large volume of water from nineteen rivers, and the monstrous fall 
 of the tide, the current at half tide is fearful. The great fall loosens 
 any ice formed at the mouth of the rivers, and these ice floes grow 
 continually heavier from the excessive cold, as they drive up and 
 down the bay, for, by the time the wind has driven them down to the 
 entrance of the ocean, the tide bears them back again." So no 
 enemy was to be feared by sea, nor in their rear. 
 
 And the appearance of a foe b}' land from the North and Prince 
 Edward's Island, through snow two or three feet deep on the level 
 for more than a hundred miles, seemed as little to be feared, espe- 
 cially at the time of a driving storm that had lasted thirty hours. 
 
 But the attack came in this latter way, by land, and from Prince 
 Edward's Island. On Jan. 31, 1747, Col. Noble was at Grand Pr6 
 with a detachment of five hundred men. At two o'clock in the morn-

 iug, the officers' quarters were nearly all surrounded at the same 
 time, the troops being quartered in houses scattered over a space of 
 a mile and a quarter's length. Seventy were killed, sixty taken 
 prisoners. Several were wounded. Noble's quarters were the first 
 attacked. He had received two wounds, but, after that, he returned 
 three times the enemy's fire, in his shirt, before he was shot dead. 
 Bravery and self-possession characterized his death, as fidelity and 
 resolute perseverance and endurance had marked his life.

 Division, the highest office in the Dominican Army. He has also 
 been Minister of Foreign Affairs, and for years has been Military 
 and Civil Governor of the District of Puerto Plata. In 1880, he was

 pointed Vice-Consul of U.S. This place he has continued to hold 
 except for two }"ears. His home, as well as the Consulate, was al- 
 ways open, during the frequent revolutions incident to the forming 
 republic, as an asylum to the proscribed. At the risk of his life he 
 has saved many eminent men by the protection of the American flag.

 continued from the first its President. For three years he was Judge

STATUE OF JOHN BRIDGE, THE PUR1TAX. 
 
 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 In the " Genealogical Register," which forms the supplement 
 to Paige's " History of Cambridge," is the following : — 
 
 " Bridge, John was among the earliest inhab. of Camb. and owned 
 land here in 1632. He resided in 1635 at the X. E. coiner of Dunster and 
 South Streets, and soon afterwards owned a house at the N. W. corner 
 of Holyoke and Winthrop Streets. About 163S he purchased a house 
 near the spot where the Washington Head Quarters now stand, with 
 twelve acres of land, and resided there. He was early elected Deacon of 
 the church ; was Selectman twelve years, between 1635 and 1052; Rep- 
 resentative four years, from 1G37 to 1641 ; and was frequently employed 
 in the settlement of estates and in determining the boundaries of towns. 
 He m. Elizabeth Saunders 1658, (marriage contract dated 29, Xov. 1658,) 
 who had previously been the wife of Roger Bancroft of Camb. and 
 Martin Saunders of Braintree. He d. about 1065, leaving wife, son 
 Matthew and granddaughter Dorcas, dau. of S. Thomas, deceased. His 
 wife Elizabeth subsequently m. Edward Taylor of Boston and was liv- 
 ing in 1685." 
 
 The subject of the foregoing notice had one son, Matthew, 
 who survived his father, dying April 28, 1700, when upwards 
 of 80 years old. The remains of father and son were deposited 
 in the burial-ground in Harvard Square. Memorial stones were 
 placed over their graves and over that of a descendant, Levi 
 Bridge (hereinafter mentioned as the founder of the Bridge 
 Charitable Fund in this city), July 4, 1876, by Samuel J. 
 Bridge, the donor of the statue of the first of the name. 
 
 Shortly after the city of Cambridge was the recipient of a 
 donation from another member of the family, the late Mr. Levi 
 Bridge, who, by a deed of trust, dated Aug. 12, 1875, gave the 
 sum of $"73.95, which had been deposited in the Cambridge- 
 port Savings Bank in the name of the late Hon. John Sargent as 
 trustee. It was stipulated in the deed that, after the death of 
 
4 JOHN BRIDGE, THE PURITAN. 
 
 Mr. Bridge, this sum was to be transferred to the city of Cam- 
 bridge, and a statement of the facts relating to the gift was 
 made by the trustee in a communication to the City Council, 
 dated Sept. 6, 187(3, the donor having deceased. 
 
 By the provisions of the deed of trust, the money thus given 
 was to form the nucleus of a fund to be known as the " Bridge 
 Charitable Fund," to be forever held by the city upon this 
 further trust, to add the interest of said fund to the principal, 
 until such time as said fund, by the accruing interest, or by 
 gifts from other philanthropic persons, shall amount to two 
 thousand dollars, after which time one third part of the in- 
 terest of said fund shall be added to the principal annually for- 
 ever, and the remaining two thirds of s-uch interest shall be paid 
 over annually to the overseers of the poor for the time being, to 
 be by them expended for the deserving poor of the city of Cam- 
 bridge, in such manner as they shall deem best." 
 
 The donation of Mr. Bridge was formally accepted by the 
 City Council, Sept. 27, 1876, and an ordinance was subse- 
 quently adopted creating a board of commissioners of the fund 
 thus established. The bank-book was delivered to the com- 
 missioners by Mr. Sargent, Jan. 24, 1877, the sum on deposit 
 then amounting to $891.83. In the month of October follow- 
 ing, this sum was doubled by the gift of Mr. Samuel J. Bridge, 
 who was a distant relative of the original donor, thus making 
 the total amount given to the fund $1,783.66. In the letter 
 from Mr. S. J. Bridge, dated Oct. 15, 1877, covering the gift 
 made by him, he said, referring to the original donation by his 
 kinsman : "It was his wish, and it is mine, that beyond a proper 
 record, there may be no unnecessary publicity in the animal 
 distribution of the fund, nothing that would have a tendency to 
 wound the pride of the recipient." In this communication, 
 allusion is made to the graves of his ancestors, John and 
 Matthew Bridge, and of his kinsman Levi, over which he had 
 caused the erection of memorial stones, and the hope is ex- 
 pressed that the city "will always have a fostering care over 
 them." 
 
 Samuel James Bridge, who will hereafter be especially 
 remembered in this community as the generous donor to the 
 city of Cambridge of the statue of the first of his name in this 
 
JOHN BRIDGE, THE PURITAN. 
 
 country, is a native of the State of Maine, where many of the 
 descendants of John Bridge still reside. He removed to Boston 
 many years ago, and in the year 1841 was appointed by Presi- 
 dent Harrison as an appraiser in the Boston Custom House, 
 where he remained until 185(5, when he was appointed appraiser- 
 general of the Pacific Coast His unwavering fidelity to the 
 trust reposed in him by the Treasury Department while appraiser 
 for the port of Boston, is well remembered by the older mer- 
 chants of that city. Mr. Bridge had the confidence of every 
 administration of the national government from the time of his 
 appointment in 1841 to the close of the administration of Presi- 
 dent Grant. He was the commissioner having charge of the 
 erection of the Custom House at San Francisco, costing 
 $5,000,000 ; and also of the United States Mint and Marine 
 Hospital in the same city. In his later years he has travelled 
 much, visiting every quarter of the globe, and by his rare 
 powers of observation has made himself familiar with the 
 characteristics, institutions, and population of nearly every coun- 
 try in the world. 
 
 The commission to execute a bronze statue of John Bridge, 
 the Puritan, was given by Mr. S. J. Bridge to the eminent 
 sculptor, the late Thomas R. Gould, of Boston, in the autumn 
 of 1881. He designed and modelled a statuette, which was sat- 
 isfactory to Mr. Bridge, and subsequently carried it with him to 
 Florence, where he arrived on the first of November. Prepar- 
 ations for the clay model of the "Puritan" were soon after 
 beo-un, and about the 23d of November the artist personal Iv 
 worked upon the statue for the first and last time, also giving 
 suggestions in regard to certain changes desired. Mr. Gould 
 died on the 26th of November, 1881, and the completion of the 
 figure devolved upon his son and co-worker, Marshall S. Gould, 
 who devoted his entire time and energy to the execution of his 
 father's conception of the "Puritan." In advancing and com- 
 pleting the work, he made such changes from the small model 
 as had been previously suggested to him by his father, together 
 with such alterations as every artist finds necessary in making 
 a colossal statue from, a diminutive study. The names of T. R. 
 and M. S. Gould are thus properly connected in the production 
 of the finished work, — the one as the original designer of the 
 
6 JOHN BRIDGE, THE PURITAN. 
 
 statue, the other as the skilled and appreciative co-worker, 
 than whom none could have more fully realized the father's 
 conception of the character to be produced in monumental 
 bronze. 
 
 It has been said that this generous and artistic gift is believed 
 to be the first statue of a Puritan pioneer that has been erected 
 in New England. Through the pious forethought of the donor, 
 it is also the first sculptured representation of one of its early 
 settlers that has been set up in the city of Cambridge. 
 
 The stormy periods of our early history have heretofore been 
 commemorated by us from time to time, and such localities as 
 have been rendered historical through their association with lead- 
 ing men and events of the past have been marked by memorial 
 tablets placed at different points in our city. To Samuel James 
 Bridge, now for the second time the city's benefactor, must be 
 accorded the merit of having brought to our view the linea- 
 ments and figure of the Puritan himself, as idealized in the 
 artist's mind. 
 
 CITY OF CAMBKIDGE. 
 
 Statue of John Bridge, the Puritan. 
 
 At a meeting of the Mayor and Aldermen, Sept. 20, 1882, a 
 communication was presented by hi> Honor the Mayor, from 
 Samuel James Bridge, Esq., of Boston, offering to the city a 
 bronze statue of his ancestor John Bridge, one of the first set- 
 tlers of the town, and an active and useful man. 
 
 The kind offer thus made was met with an appreciative spirit 
 by the City Council, as appears by the following order, which 
 was adopted in concurrence : — 
 
 City of Cambridge, 
 In Board of Aldermen, Sept. 20, 1882. 
 
 Ordered, That the statue offered to the city by SamuelJames Bridge he 
 accepted, and that the thanks of the City Council be given to Mr. Bridge 
 for his generous offer. 
 
 Also that a joint special committee, to consist of his Honor the Mayor, 
 and Aldermen Read, Corcoran, and Fairbanks, with such as the Common 
 Council may join, be appointed to take such action as may be proper in

 relation to the reception of the statue and the selection of a location for 
 the same. 
 
 Sent down for concurrence. 
 
 Attest : Justin A. Jacobs, City Clerk. 
 
 In Common Council, Sept. 20, 1882. 
 Concurred. The President, with Councilmen Bent, Pear, Russell, Doyle, 
 and Thorogood, are joined on the part of this board. 
 
 Attest : J. Wabken Cottox, Cleric. 
 Approved, Sept. 21, 1882. 
 
 James A. Fox, Mayor. 
 
 The Joint Special Committee thus appointed was composed 
 
 as follows : — 
 
 His Honor James A. Fox, Mayor. 
 Alderman John Read. 
 Alderman Michael CorcorAx. 
 Alderman Johx W. Fairbaxks. 
 President George H. Howard. 
 Councilman George C. Bext. 
 Councilman Isaac S. Pear. 
 Councilman William E. Russell. 
 Councilman James E. Doyle. 
 Councilman Johx G. Thorogood. 
 
 The commitee immediately proceeded to the duty assigned to 
 it, receiving assistance in the suggestions of William S. Bar- 
 hour, E«q., city engineer, and Marshall S. Gould, Esq., the 
 sculptor. After visiting several loca'ities in the vicinity of the 
 former abode of John Bridge, the committee finally selected 
 a spot deemed suitable as a site for the statue upon Cambridge 
 Common. There was a slight delay, owing to the non-arrival of 
 the statue from France, where it was cast, and on account of the 
 illness of the donor, with whom the committee wished to consult 
 in reference to the location to be selected, and whose views it 
 was desired to meet in the fullest manner. 
 
 The general superintendence of the work of locating the statue 
 was committed to Mr. Barbour, city engineer; the labor of 
 putting in the necessary foundation, placing the pedestal thereon, 
 and setting up the statue, being performed by Mr. Alexander 
 McDonald, of this city. The granite base was firmly set, and

 the statue placed in position under the immediate supervision 
 of the sculptor, and the work was completed on Saturday, Nov. 
 25th, after which it was covered to await the inauguration cere- 
 monies. The statue is located in that part of Cambridge Com- 
 mon, near the junction of North Avenue and Waterhouse Street, 
 and faces in a nearly southerly direction, looking towards the 
 College grounds. The figure is about nine feet in height, and 
 that of the pedestal about the same, the entire structure being 
 about eighteen feet from the foundation. 
 
 The day of the formal acceptance and unveiling of the " Puri- 
 tan" was fixed for Tuesday, Nov. 28th, at 3 o'clock, p. m. It 
 was intended by the committee that the ceremonies should take 
 place around the base of the statue, but a fall of snow and sub- 
 sequent cold weather intervening, it was decided to ask that 
 Shepard Memorial Church, on Garden Street, opposite the Com- 
 mon, be opened for the purpose. The attention of the public 
 had been called to the occasion, through the various local news- 
 papers, all being invited, while special invitations were also sent 
 to a large number of prominent citizens and others. A special 
 form of invitation was also sent by the donor to the descendants 
 of John Bridge, numbering as far as known one hundred and 
 thirteen in all, including one infant seven months old, of the 
 ninth generation from his ancestor.

 Services. 
 
 The opening exercise w 7 as the performance of a voluntary on 
 the organ by Edwin L. Gurney, organist of Broadway (Cam- 
 bridge) Baptist Church, at the conclusion of which Alderman 
 John Read, chairman of the committee of arrangements, made 
 the following announcement : — 
 
 Fellow Citizens and Guests : — ^Ye are assembled at this time for 
 the acceptance of the statue of John Bridge, the Puritan. I invite the 
 Rev. Dr. Alexander McKenzie to invoke the divine blessing. 
 
 Rev. Alexander McKenzie, D. D., of the Shepard Memorial 
 Church, then offered prayer, at the conclusion of which the audi- 
 ence joined in singing the following hymn, accompanied by 
 the organ : — 
 
 HYMN BY REV. LEONARD BACON, D. D. 
 
 O God, beneath thy guiding hand, 
 
 Our exiled fathers crossed the sea ; 
 And when they trod the wintry strand, 
 
 With prayer and psalm they worshipped thee. 
 
 Thou heard'st well pleased the song, the prayer: 
 
 Thy blessing came ; and still its power 
 Shall onward through all ages bear 
 
 The memory of that holy hour. 
 
 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God 
 
 Came with those exiles o'er the waves ; 
 And where their pilgrim feet have trod, 
 
 The God they trusted guards their graves. 
 
 And here thy name, O God of love, 
 
 Their children's children shall adore, 
 Till these eternal hills remove, 
 
 And spring adorns the earth no more. 
 
JOHN BRIDGE, THE PURITAN. 13 
 
 Alderman Read : — 
 
 " The statue which will he unveiled immediately after these exercises 
 is the work of the late Thomas R. Gould, completed by his son. It is 
 of one who, having held offices of high trust, was a representative man of 
 
 the early times. Samuel J. Bridge, a descendant in the sixth generation, 
 has made this gift to the city of Cambridge, ami his letter of presentation 
 will now he read by George H. Howard Esq., the President of the Com- 
 mon Council." 
 
 President George H. Howard then read the following letter: 
 
 Boston, Sept. 20, 1882. 
 To the Honorable James A. Fox, 
 
 Mayor of Cambridge: 
 
 Sir, — I beg to offer to the city of Cambridge, through you, a bronze 
 statue of my ancestor, John Bridge, one of the first settlers in the town, 
 and a man useful and influential in his day and generation. 
 
 The sculptor, the late Mr. T. R. Gould, has tried to figure forth the Puri- 
 tan pioneer, and upon the pedestal for the statue I have caused to be 
 described the typical services and character Avhich seem to me to make 
 John Bridge worthy of lasting commemoration. 
 
 If the City Council accepts this offer, I shall ask leave to set up the 
 statue in one of the public squares of Old Cambridge, the exact site to be 
 determined in whatever way may seem to the Council suitable. 
 
 I have the honor to be. Sir, with respect, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 Samuel James Bridge. 
 
 Mayor Fox accepted the statue in behalf of the city as fol- 
 low*; : — 
 
 Fellow Citizens : — From the communication of Mr. Samuel James 
 Bridge, dated Sept. 20th last, to which you have just listened, you are 
 informed that that gentleman — not now for the first time, I may say, a 
 liberal donor to us, and happily present with us to-day — has presented 
 this statue of his sturdy and heroic ancestor to the city of Cambridge, — 
 believed to be the first statue in Puritan garb that has been erected in 
 New England. 
 
 "With becoming acknowledgment, the generous and artistic gift was 
 promptly accepted by our City Council, and now being set up on our prin- 
 cipal public ground not far from the spot of his early home on Dunster 
 Street, we have assembled together formally to accepl the finished work. 
 
 It gives me great pleasure to be the recipient, in behalf of the corpora- 
 tion and the citizens at large of Cambridge, of this statue of one of the 
 early Puritans and settlers of our ancient and favored town from one 
 his worthy descendants in the sixth generation. 
 
14 JOHN BRIDGE, THE PURITAN. 
 
 John Bridge must indeed have been " a man useful and influential in 
 his day and generation." Born in 157S in old Braintree, in Essex County, 
 England, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth of brilliant fame, he 
 came in 1631, at the mature age of fifty-three, and settled here, as the in- 
 scription upon the pedestal states. He was our original supervisor of the 
 public school, first townsman or selectman for twenty-three years, repre- 
 sentative to the Great and General Court for four years, and was appointed 
 by that body to lay out lands in this town and beyond. 
 
 "We find his name prominently mentioned in the early records of the 
 town in connection with those of Dunster, Hooker. Shepard, and others. 
 
 " Among the reasons," says the Rev. Thomas Shepard, " which swayed 
 me to come to New England, divers people in Old England of my dear 
 friends desired me to come here to live together, and some went before 
 and writ to me of finding a place, one of which was John Bridge." 
 
 But I will not go into detail on these points, and thus encroach upon the 
 province of the accomplished gentlemen who are to follow me, and who 
 will illustrate the lives and the times of our Puritan progenitors much more 
 ably than I can do. 
 
 It is surely well to " remember the days of old," and the men as well, 
 who, by their sacrifices in any department of human endeavor or toil, 
 have set forward the state of human progress on earth ; and it is particu- 
 larly fitting to erect statues to perpetuate the forms, the character, and 
 the labors of our Puritan ancestors, that coming generations as they rise 
 may not forget those devoted pioneers of freedom in religious truth and 
 observances who preferred to emigrate to an unknown and inhospitable 
 land, where they might worship God according to the dictates of their 
 own consciences, rather than to wage a long and doubtful conflict with the 
 strongly entrenched ecclesiastical system of England, united as it was 
 to the complete civil power of the kingdom. 
 
 The Puritans brought to this land the highest principles of religious and 
 civil liberty ; and if we would witness the ultimate outcome of their prin- 
 ciples, we may well say, with the epitaph in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, 
 on the great architect of that church, " Look around you." 
 
 This statue has been executed by an American artist of genius and ex- 
 quisite taste, of whom we have good reason to be proud, the late Thomas 
 R. Gould, a native .of Boston, but who long dwelt and wrought in 
 Florence, Italy. His untimely death left the unfinished work to his son, 
 Mr. Marshall S. Gould, who has admirably and successfully completed the 
 original design of his father. The elder artist has impressed his genius 
 upon many portrait statues and busts in this city and vicinity. In yonder 
 library of Harvard University is his fine bust of Ralph Waldo Emerson; 
 the Town Hall of Lexington contains a statue of John Hancock ; while 
 in the Public Library Building of Concord is one of its liberal donor to 
 the town, William Munroe. By commission from the Grand Army of the 
 Republic, he executed the beautiful statue of the noble Andrew which 
 stands in the burial lot of our great war governor at Hingham-by-the-Sea. 
 New York City claims a bust of the elder Booth ; while in the vestibule

 of the Boston Herald Building his artisticfflustration of steam and electricity 
 
 may ho admired. His portrait statue of Kinu r Kamehameha the First, at 
 Honolulu, is a notable one, as well as thai ideal conception entitled the 
 "Ascending Spirit, "which is appropriately placed on the burial lot in 
 Forest Hill Cemetery where the mortal remains of the talented sculptor 
 now repose. 
 
 And now need I repeat, as the representative of the city, that T accept 
 with pride and pleasure this statue of the devoted Puritan and non-con- 
 formist, so liberally and handsomely bestowed by Mr. Bridge? and we 
 will ever preserve it amid its pleasant surroundings with especial care, so 
 that it may teach to our children's children to a late generation the 
 courage, the self-denial, the humble yet heroic religious spirit of as brave 
 and honest a body of Christian adventurers as, acting under their own 
 light, have ever existed, who did so much towards setting forward the 
 Redeemer's kingdom upon earth, and who so honestly labored to establish 
 on this western continent what they deemed tobeagreat good, viz., 
 "A Church without a Bishop, and a State without a King." 
 
 After the close of his address, the Mayor said : — 
 " A descendant of the Puritans has been invited to speak to you to-day. 
 I take pleasure in introducing Col. Thomas W. Iligginson." 
 
 Col. Higginsoa then delivered the dedicatory address of the 
 occasion, as follows : — 
 
 The man whose name we to-day commemorate represents none of those 
 classes which have hitherto almost monopolized bronze and marble. He 
 was neither general nor statesman, neither poet nor author. Xo encyclo- 
 paedia records his name, no history of the nation mentions him. Is it not 
 strange that under these circumstances we should meet to dedicate his 
 statue? On the contrary, it is for this very reason. It is a characteristic 
 of the rising art of America, that, unlike the art of older nations, it cele- 
 brates the common man. Yonder silent figure upon our soldier-' monu- 
 ment does not wear the uniform of the brilliant general of cavalry, whose 
 name heads the inscription below, but that of the hundreds of private 
 soldiers whose names follow. It is the same with nearly all of the thou- 
 sand other soldiers' monuments throughout the land. In the same way, 
 going back to the Revolution, we have French's " Minute-Man" at Con- 
 cord. Following the same instinctive tendency, going back to the settle- 
 ment of the country, we have before us not Winthropj not Endicott, lot 
 the private soldier, or at most the non-commissioned officer of the early 
 Cambridge settlement, the typical Puritan, plain John Bridge. 
 
 It is the first time, so far as I know, that the e very-day Puritan has 
 appeared in sculpture. In the time when the clergy were kings or 
 viceroys, this man was content to be a deacon. In the time when this 
 very Cambridge Common, where we stand, was the scene where gov- 
 ernors were elected, John k Bridge was satisfied with an office which is 
 
16 JOHX BEIDGE, THE PURITAN. 
 
 to this day a school of humility, and was member of the " Great and General 
 Court."' He was, in the expressive phrase of that day, a "townsman." 
 He stands for the plain people, who founded the little settlement, and 
 built for their defence the great " pallysadoe " and "fosse" which once 
 passed within a rod or two of where the statue stands, and which have 
 left their memorials to this day in the willow-trees of yonder play-ground. 
 John Bridge probably worked in person on those defences; he was one of 
 those who kept back the Indian and brought civilization forward; he 
 stands for the average ancestry of us all. Whatever we now possess we 
 owe, in a general sense, to the fact that our forefathers were even such 
 men as John Bridge. 
 
 But, beyond this, we owe a peculiar debt to him individually. It hap- 
 pened to him to be instrumental, in a special way. for preserving the very 
 existence of the little settlement. He came to America in 1631, probably 
 as a member of a company from Braintree. England, which settled first 
 near Mount WbUaston, and then was removed hither by order of the 
 General Court, being soon joined by Rev. Thomas Hooker, who became 
 their pastor. John Bridge came to Cambridge, then Xewtown. in 1632; 
 owned land here in that year, and became a freeman March 4. 1635. He 
 lived at that time on the northeast corner of Dunster and South Streets, 
 owning also a house on Holyoke Street soon after. In 1630 came an event 
 which very nearly brought about the extinction of the little settlement. 
 Parson Hooker, moved by the earliest outbreak of what has since been 
 called the Western fever, made up his mind that the village, with 
 its sixty-two houses, was too crowded for him and too near other villages. 
 This was at least the nominal reason why he and the bulk of his congrega- 
 tion resolved to set off through the woods to Connecticut with wife and 
 child, bag and baggage, cows and oxen, there to establish a transplanted 
 Xewtown at what is now Hartford. It is very possible that this formida- 
 ble secession might have been the death of the little town, but for one fact, 
 that John Bridge decided, in his sturdy Puritan spirit, to stay where he 
 was and save the settlement. 
 
 The way in which he saved it was this: There was at that time in 
 England a young clergyman named Shepard, not yet thirty years old, but 
 of such repute for piety and eloquence that he has come down to posterity 
 with four resounding epithets forever linked to his name, — " the holy, 
 heavenly, sweet-affecting, and soul-ravishing Mr. Shepard." We know 
 from his own autobiography that he came to America by the urgent 
 request of friends: but the only friend whose name he mentions is John 
 Bridge. He came at the most opportune time, with a company of sixty, 
 and was persuaded to remain temporarily, at least, in Cambridge. He 
 and his party stayed permanently; they took the meeting-house of Mr. 
 Hooker, the dwelling-houses of his parishioners; and when, upon a day 
 in June in 1636, Mr. Hooker and his hundred men, women, and children 
 went with their oxen and cows through the streets into the wilderness, 
 Mr. Shepard and his sixty stood at their newly acquired front-doors and 
 bade them farewell. Exit Hooker; enter Shepard: but John Bridge was

 proclaim the kind's death and the accession of his successor. •■ /.• roi est

 church was organized John Bridge had n<>t become its first deacon. lie 
 was. as the facetious Cotton Mather would undoubtedly have said, had he 
 but thought of it. •• the Bridge that carried us <>•. 
 
 And, as it turned out. by securin-- Mr. Shepard he secured not the town 
 only hut the college. That was placed here partly for the sake of the 
 climate, but more for Mr. Shepard* s sake. It was because of him. Cotton 
 Mather tells us. that this, w ' rather than any other place, was pitched upon 
 to be the site of that happy seminary." There was thus a regular chain 
 of circumstances. It was because of Deacon Bridge that Mi-. Shepard 
 came: because of Mr. Shepard that the college came; because of the col- 
 hat the name came, taken from the English university town. 
 Whether John Bridge was or was not identical with the "Mr. Ibidges" 
 who gave the infant college £o0 in 1638, and who united with others in 
 giving it £20 worth of goods four years after, this cannot now be deter- 
 mined; but the point beyond question is. that he indirectly secured its 
 presence in Cambridge and all the advantages that have come to both 
 college and city from the combination. 
 
 Under such circumstances. John Bridge began the duties of what an 
 i poet calls the "mild diaconate" — not so mild then as now. In 
 those days, when the village and parish were one, the minister was com- 
 mander and the deacon was orderly sergeant. In that capacity John 
 Bridge may have personally beaten the drum which was used in 1636, 
 according to Johnson, to call the people of the village to church. At any 
 rate he doubtless superintended the offices of the church, and the schooling 
 of the children, so far as it went; he was deacon for twenty-two years, 
 selectman for twelve years, and member of the Legislature for four. He 
 was frequently employed in the settlement of estates and in determining 
 the boundaries of towns. He was one of the commissioners appointed by 
 the town when Billerica was set off from it. and his son was one of the 
 ttlers of Lexington, both of these towns having been included in 
 the unwieldy Cambridge of that day. John Bridge's own homestead was 
 outside the village, and included twelve acres not far from where Craigie 
 House now stands: he also owned a strip opposite, on the south side of 
 tlie Watertown road, and running to the river. It included five acres of 
 marsh and one of upland, perhaps including part of the very field across 
 which our poet Longfellow loved to look at the winding Charles. In this 
 homestead, then a rural region, he lived until his death in IGO.j; and it is 
 it to find that his son, in transferring a part of the real estate at a 
 later period, descril 'the mansion house of my honored father, 
 
 >d."' It i- not always that sons remember to express respect for 
 their fathers when disposing of their property. 
 
 It is in a similar feeling of respect to that worthy man that we honor his 
 monument to-day. Bronze corrodes and marble crumbles, but they are, 
 nevertheless, among the most permanent of earthly things; and this modest

 Puritan name "will take long life from this event. One of the most famous 
 of modern English sonnets describes an imaginary traveller in the Easl as 
 finding in the desert two vast and trunkless legs of stone, with a carved 
 and broken head resting near them. On the pedestal appears, — 
 
 " My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, 
 Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair." 
 
 And the poet adds : — 
 
 " Nothing heside remains. Round the decay 
 Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, 
 The lone and level sands stretch far away." 
 
 But of -what consequence was this desolation? The statue fulfilled its 
 object. The disappearance of all else only vindicated the foresight of the 
 monarch, and the name of Ozymandias is immortal. And thus the pious 
 reverence of the descendants of this plain Puritan will achieve its end. 
 The name of Johu Bridge, rescued from oblivion and made the type of 
 the founders of our civilization, is destined to be transmitted on the lips of 
 children's children yet unborn. 
 
 "When Col. Higginson had concluded, the Mayor said : — 
 
 "From what has been said by the orator of the day, there is no doubt 
 that John Bridge, whom we commemorate, was deeply interested in educa- 
 tion, and might have been a worker in its behalf in the early days of our 
 college. It seems eminently fitting, therefore, that a representative of 
 that college should be heard upon this occasion. I introduce to you 
 President Eliot." 
 
 President Eliot said : — 
 
 " TVhat is this durable monument in stone and bronze to say to us and 
 to coming generations ? It will say. — 
 
 " It is good to stand stoutly in one's lot, doing faithfully and generously 
 the homely duties of each day. 
 
 " It is good to leave behind sturdy and thrifty descendants to transmit 
 one's name and recall one's memory through long generations. 
 
 "It is good to have one's life, though humble and obscure, represent 
 to posterity great ideas. 
 
 " The simple life of this Puritan pioneer in barren Newtown foretold the 
 life of the teeming millions who in two centuries were to vivify the wild 
 continent. It was a worthy vehicle of three pregnant principles, — free- 
 dom of thought, political freedom, and freedom to worship God." 
 
 Mayor Fox : — 
 
 " You have heard from a descendant of the Puritans, you have also 
 heard from the representative of Harvard College : let me now introduce 
 to yon a lineal descendant of John Bridge himself, General, and now 
 Judge De vens." 
 
JOHN BRIDGE, THE PUEITAN. 19 
 
 Judge Devests' Addi 
 
 Mr. Mayhi:: — As a descendant from John Bridge, one degree further 
 removed than my kinsman whose graceful liberality lias presented this 
 statue of <>ur ancestor to the city of Cambridge, I thank you for the 
 opportunity of beingpresent upon this occasion. There is little to remind 
 us in this splendid city, adorned with the buildin greal university, 
 
 in external things at least, of the humble hamlet defended by its palisade 
 in which a band of exiles struggling with the stern soil, the inhospitable 
 climate, the hostile savage, sought to make for themselves a home in which 
 they could worship God according to the dictates of their own con- 
 ice. 
 
 It may he true, it no doubt is true, that there are others equally worthy 
 to In,- commemorated with John Bridge, yet as he has been descrif-ed to 
 us in the remarks of Col. Higginson, to whi rches we are all sin- 
 
 cerely indebted, as its first townsman for many years, as the deacon of its 
 church, as its representative in the councils of the infant colony, I 
 suitable representative of the founders of this town. He is in this place 
 ; Iso a suitable representative of that great race of men to whom he be- 
 longi d, the English Puritans. 
 
 The Puritan emigration to Xew England was a part of the struggle 
 which had already commenced between King Charles and his people. 
 However that might end, one place they were determined should exist 
 where they should be free to praclise their own faith and to act as that 
 taught them. Profound as was their belief in a higher power, they knew 
 that God works by human means and agencies,and that it was for them 
 to endeavor to compass that for which they prayed by all the instrumen- 
 talities at their command. They believed in the sword of the Lord and 
 of Gideon, but the sword of Gideon for them was the good weapon that 
 hung in their own belts, and whose hilt was within the grasp of their own 
 strong right hands. 
 
 "We may imagine, if we cannot know, the intense interest with which. 
 during the years John Bridge lived here, these people watched the progress 
 of that English Revolution which has made of all who speak tl 
 tongue a free people. Here they heard of the open war in England be- 
 tween their king and his Parliament, of the first doubtful and undecided 
 conflicts under the inefficient commanders on behalf of the Parliament, of 
 the rise of the great Puritan soldier Cromwell, of the victories of Naseby, 
 Dunbar, and finally of Worcester, and of the complete triumph of the 
 Puritan party. Here. too. came later the sad news of that September 
 day when the Lord Protector sank to his eternal rest, and the way was 
 open lor the return of the king to England. Although he heard of all 
 these events. John Bridge did not live long enough i<> know of the second 
 -:i Revolution which was so promptly responded to in Massachusetts 
 and which finally drove the Stuart kings into exile. To him it may have 
 Seemed as if this contest had failed. He certainly could not have real- 
 ized how vast was the work which the Puritans had dune and were to do

 on this as well as the other side of the water, or how great was the im- 
 pression they would make on the people of a vast continent. 
 
 Mr. G. W. Curtis has said, " Through all our history, from the deposition 
 of Andros to Bunker iliU, and from the Declaration of Independence to 
 the Proclamation of Emancipation, the dominant power in American 
 civilization has been the genius of Puritan England." 
 
 If we look back to the days of the Revolution vre see how strong 
 was its influence over those who conducted it. Mr. Winthrop, who (I 
 may. without impropriety say. now that he is absent from us and separated 
 by the stormy sea) emulates so well the dignified and scholarly virtues of 
 his illustrious ancestor, has in one of his recent orations preserved a let- 
 ter of Col. Prescott which might in its spirit have been written by one of 
 the Puritans themselves. I quote it from memory, and not with entire 
 verbal accuracy. " Our forefathers,- says he. " passed the vast Atlantic, 
 spent their blood and treasure that they might enjoy their liberties both 
 civil and religious, and transmit them to their posterity.- . . . . " Is 
 not a glorious death in defence of our liberties better than a short and 
 infamous life, and our memory to be had in detestation to the latest pos- 
 terity ? Let us all be of one mind, and stand fast in the liberties wherewith 
 Christ has made us free: and may he of his infinite mercy grant us deliv- 
 erance out of all our troubles! " 
 
 This was a letter written on behalf of the farmers of Pepperell to the 
 inhabitants of Boston some months before the battle of Bunker Hill. As 
 we stand here we recall that summer night of the 16th of June. 1775, 
 when the two regiments selected by Prescott, one his own, the other 
 commanded by Col. Ebenezer Bridge of Lexington, the great-grandson of 
 John, stood here upon this very Common together, and the venerable pres- 
 ident of the College came from his study to invoke the blessing of God 
 on their expedition. 
 
 Not, Mr. Mayor, when the hour of trial came in our day and generation 
 to us, was the influence of these Puritan forefathers absent. It is at such 
 a time they will always be freshly remembered. Let then this statue 
 staud, in its simple Puritan garb, in memory of one of the founders of this 
 city, of the race of men to whom he belonged, and in honor to their sim- 
 ple lives, their high courage, and their unswerving faith. 
 
 At the conclusion of Judge Devens' address, the audience 
 again joined in singing a hymn with the organ accompaniment. 
 
 Hymn. — " America. " J. S. Dwight. 
 
 I Mess our native land! 
 Firm may she ever stand, 
 
 Through storm and night: 
 When the wild tempests rave, 
 Ruler of wind and wave, 
 Do thou our country save 
 
 B3 tin great might. 
 
JOHX BRIDGE, THE PURITAN. 21 
 
 For her our prayer shall rise 
 To God above the skies, 
 
 On him we wait; 
 Thou who ail ever nigh, 
 Guarding with watchful eye, 
 To thee aloud we cry, 
 
 God save the state! 
 
 A benediction was then pronounced by Rev. Edward II. Hall, 
 of the First Parish Church, and the audience then adjourned to 
 the Common to witness the ceremony of unveiling. 
 
 The Unveiling. 
 
 "When all had reassembled around the statue, which was en- 
 tirely covered with cloth, Mayor Fox spoke as follows : — 
 
 " This statue of John Bridge, the Puritan, presented to the city of Cam- 
 bridge hy one of his descendants in the sixth generation, having been 
 formally accepted, it is my direction that it be now unveiled.*' 
 
 At the signal of the Mayor, the folds of the covering quickly 
 separated, and it fell to the base of the statue, disclosing an 
 undoubted impersonation of the typical Puritan, in whose stern 
 and resolute countenance is fully reflected the strong character 
 of the men who founded our New England institutions of free- 
 dom and education. 
 
 The following inscriptions are upon the pedestal of the statue :

 The long expected and much desired Bridge Genealogy, com- 
 piled by Rev. W. F. Bridge, of Ohio, is at last completed. 
 
 I am surprised to find in it the names of so many that have 
 held high positions in the Country. The book includes a Pres- 
 ident of the United States, member of the Cabinet, Foreign 
 Ministers, Consuls, Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, 
 Judges of Probate, and Registers of Probate, a Presidential 
 Elector, Officers of the United States Customs, Officers of the 
 Army and Navy, Officers of note, and faithful, self denying sol- 
 diers in the war of the Rebellion, a United States Attorney 
 General, and a Marshal, High Sheriffs, and Deputy Sheriffs, 
 Mayors of Cities, Governor's Council, Selectmen, and other 
 Municipal Officers, Postmasters, Eminent Lawyers, Clergymen, 
 Physicians, Engineers, Geologists, Professors, Teachers, Mer- 
 chants, Horticulturists, Landscape Gardeners. Planters, Farmers, 
 &c. No family in New England can show a better record. We 
 have much to be thankful for, 
 
 Yours truly,
