Biography

NUMBER OF ITEMS:

The collection relates to the following members of the Nott family:

Eliphalet (1773-1866) Samuel (1754-1852)

Roxana Peck (1785-1876) Samuel (1787-1869)

Eliphalet Gordon Hall (d.1903?) Harriet John Wade (1822-1911) Samuel (1815-1899) Sarah Maria (1826-1910?) William (1817-1890)

Eliphalet (1773-1866), a Presbyterian clergyman known as a gifted pulpit orator, served churches in New York state before becoming president of Union College in 1804. He remained president for 62 years, building the school's academic reputation and providing for a secure endowment fund. His brother Samuel (1754-1852) served the Franklin (Ct.) Congregational church as pastor for 70 years. During the course of his long ministry he instructed over 200 young men in his home, preparing some for college and some for theological training. His younger brother Eliphalet was one of the students he instructed.

Biography (cont.)

Roxana Peck (1785-1876) spent her childhood in Franklin, Ct. Before her marriage to Samuel (1787-1869) in 1812, she had taught school at various places in Connecticut and Maine. Shortly after their marriage, Roxana and Samuel went to India as part of the first group of missionaries commissioned by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. They were compelled to return to the United States in 1816 because of ill health, and were released from Board service at that time. For several years Samuel taught in New York City. In 1823 the family moved to Galway, NY, where he became pastor of a Presbyterian church there; and in 1829 he became pastor of the Congregational church in Wareham, Ma. Samuel returned to teaching in 1849; and the family moved to Hartford in 1866.

Little is known about the lives of three children of Roxana and Samuel: Eliphalet, Harriet, and Sarah Maria (1826-1910). Regarding four other children, Gordon Hall (d.1903?) and Samuel (1815-1899) were civil engineers whose professional work was with various railway companies. William (1817-1890) was a seaman; and John Wade (1822-1911) was an Episcopal rector.

Scope and Content

The Nott Family Papers, 1797-1912, document the life and work of three generations of family members, although the bulk of the collection relates to Samuel (1787-1869). The collection includes correspondence and memorabilia collected by Roxana Nott Vivian and Roxana H. Vivian, respectively daughter and granddaughter of Gordon Hall Nott. The material is arranged by generation, alphabetical order by given name within each generation.
