WHO HAVE IN ANY WAY HELPED TO MAKE THE NAME

DIMON OR DIMOND HONORED AND RESPECTED, THIS

VOLUME IS SINCERELY INSCRIBED BY THE COMPILER.

PREF ACE.

As the result of a long and tedious research, this genealogy

o.f the Dimond or Dimon Family,. of Fairfield, Connecticut, is

presented to the numerous descendants and others interested

in the lives of the pioneers of New England.

But little is known of the history of the first Thomas Dimond,

and his ancestry is a matter of conjecture; although it is to be

hoped that in the future the facts will be discovered by which

his lineage may be traced to his native land, and also furnish

the links that will connect his family with others of the same

or similar names who were contemporaneous neighbors and who

were probably akin.

Errors have been carefully guarded against, and an authority

has been found for all statements in which accuracy is desirable.

To the many relatives and friends, who have so kindly devoted

their time and attention to the furtherance of this work, are due

the sincere thanks of THE COMPILER.

7. III. THOMAS.

Thomas Demont, Demond, or Dimond, settled at Pequonnock, now North Bridgeport, and owned the homestead of James Ben­net. He was a mariner, and the owner of a bark of twelve tons in October, 1658. {Sav. Gen. Diet.) His vessel and cargo was

. destroyed by fire. (F. T. Rec.) The name was spelled in various ways; but his sons spelled it

J;)ymond, Demon and Dimond. It was vulgarly pronounced Deming and Demmond. No mention was made of his wife. (Hist. of F.)

He was the head of a family in Fairfield between 1639 and 1650. (Hist. of F.) He may possibly have been the same person who, under the name of Deming or Dymont, married Mary Sheaff l and settled at East Hampton, Long Island, about 1660. (Sav. Gen. Diet.)

A thorough search of the Fairfield Town Records fails to reveal any trace of his ,vife's identity. She must have died before him as she is not mentioned in his will.

The following is a copy of the inventory of his estate, made October 19, 1658. It was about this time he died:

v. GRACE.

Settled in Fairfield about 16-4-8, and married Abigail Ward. l\'.Iay 2, 1670, he purchased of John Purdy, son of Francis Purdy of Westchester, the Purdy homestead on Frost Square. (F. T. Rec.) rfhe following is a copy of the deed, dated Jan. 19, 1670: Moses Dimond hath purchased of John Purdy for a valuable considera­tion, one dwelling house and homelot: In quantity three acres and three quarters: bounded on the S. E. with the highway. S. ,v. with the land of John Banks; on the N. \V. with highway; on_ the N. E. with Jacob Gray and Thomas Barlow's children: The said John hath given the said Moses a bill of sale dated 19th Dec., 1670. (F. T. Rec.)

Moses Demont or Dimond was among those who did not share in the early land divisions although he was a property-owner (Hist. of F.); but later he acquired that right as his name appears on the following lists of persons sharing in the distribution of land:

'' . .\ List of ye Inhabitants proportions of lands in ye Comans granted to ye Inhabitants in ye year 1670-71 and is now Recorded December 1681 " Moses Dimon 292 acres.

"Here followeth a list of ye building lots, pasture lots, & long­lots granted to ye inhabitants of ye town Jan. 1670-71 & recorded Dec. 30, 1681."

This time he received 6 acres and 3 quarters of building lots,

SECOND GENERATION. II

5 acres, 1 quarter and 24 rods of pasture land and a long lot 10 rods, I quarter and 3 feet in breadth.

At Compo on Feb. 28, 1671-2, he received one lot. In the division of an old Indian field on Feb. 10, 1682-3, he

secured I quarter, 23 rods and 10 feet. "A list of ye Lots at Compo neck, both ye Divisions, ye first

division is 3 rods per pound ye Second division is 5 Rods pr pound, and is as followeth 1682."

Moses Dimon's estate was estimated at 90 pounds. In the first division he received I acre, 2 quarters and 30 rods, and in the second division 2 acres, 3 quarters and 10 rods. (Hist. of F.)

His will, dated March 21, 1683, is as follows: '' Impr: I give my soul to my merciful creator that gave it:

Expecting salvation only by the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ my Lord, and my body to be decently buried; and for my temporal estate I dispose as followeth: My will is that my just debts and dues be first paid.

The inventory of the estate taken Apr. 15th, and recorded Apr. 17, 1684-about which time he died- amounted to £,793.7.

,VILLIAM HILL, Senr., } JOHN BANKS, Appraisers. NATH'LL BURR, (F. Pro. Rec.)

The homestead bought of John Purdy, in 1670, remained in the family until after the death of Mrs. Ebenezer Dimon (No. 105) in 1852, when it was sold by her grandson, Arthur Dimon Osborn (No. 283), who now· resides in N e,Y Haven. "The name was often spelled without the final d, always at Yale College." {Sav. Gen. Diet.)

4. Abigail (Ward) Dimon, m. Moses Dimon; m. 2d, 1685, to

Ed w. Ho,vard. Daughter of Andrew and Esther Ward of Fairfield. "Andrew

,vard was first known of in ,vatertown, Mass., where he was made a freeman, Mar. 3, 1634, and on Mar. 3, 1636, he was appointed with Roger Ludlow and six others by the General Court of Mass., to govern the Colony of Connecticut for one year. He was one of the judges of the first legislative body held in Connecticut, at Newtown or Hartford on Apr. 26, 1636.

"About 1651 he purchased Simon Hoyt's lot in Fairfield which

he sold in 1653, and the same year purchased r~homas Newton's house and lot on Ludlow square.

'' He was one of the most important and influential men in Fairfield.

"He died in 1665, leaving nine children. In his will he left forty pounds to his daughter Abigail at the age of eighteen.'' {Hist. of F., p. 4 18.) _

"Upon the death of her first husband, Abigail married Edward Howard of Roxbury, Mass., whose wife Mary died in 1643.'' (Sav. Gen. Diet.)

" WILLIAM HILL, Secretary."

(F. T. Rec.)

He moved to New London, where he settled, and married Re­becca, widow of Thomas Minter, and daughter of James Bemis, of that place. (Sav. Gen. Diet.} Possibly the same person as mentioned in the New England Gen. Reg., vol. 6, as follows :

"Jonathan Dimont, 1672, one of the early settlers of Essex and Old Norfolk." Constable of New London in 1679. ( Calkins' Hist. of New London.)

",v1LLIAM HILL, Sec." (F. T. Rec.)

He was a mariner and settled at New London, where he mar­ried Elizabeth Bradley. (Sav. Gen. Diet.)

Thomas Dymond, aged twenty-eight years, in 1670 was one of the early settlers of Essex and Old Norfolk. (New Eng. Gen. Reg., vol. 6.)

THIRD GENERATION.

In Calkins' History of New London, mention is made of him as follows:

Page 146, "In 1670 or near that time ·we first meet with Thomas Dymond and Benj. Shapley both mariners, the former from Fair­field."

Page 232 informs us that the master of a vessel was generally part owner of craft and cargo, and in small coasters the master or skipper was independent of orders. New London was noted be­fore 1700 for her coasting vessels and skippers, and among the latter is mentioned Thomas Dymond.

Page 236. The barque Providence coming in from sea was lost with her cargo on Fisher's Island Point on the night of Nov. 28, 1679. The master, Thomas Dymond, and two assistants were barely saved.

In n1inutes of cases chiefly before county court in 1680, Capt. John Nash presiding, is found the case of Thomas Dymond vs. barque Providence- stranded on Fisher's Island- for salvage of goods.

Page 278. Thomas Dymond, brother-in-law of Peter Bradley, -died 1687. Thomas was probably brother to John Dymond, con­stable i~ 1679. Name and fan1ily passed away from New Lon­don. House and ,vharf ,vere purchased by Benjamin Starr in 1702, but the Dymond heirs continued proprietors of inner com­mons until 1719.

wealthy and influential citizens of the town. No record of his first marriage can be found in Fairfield; it is,

therefore, presumed that he was married in some other place. His second and third wives are mentioned in the town records,

and the following marriage agreement with Jane Hill, his third wife, may be of some interest:

" Marriage agreement between Moses Dimon and Jane Hill ~larch 7th, 1 7 38.

This indenture made between Moses Dimon of the Town and County of Fairfield in the Colony of Connecticut of the one part: and Jane Hill of said Fairfield, single woman, on the other part, witnesseth: that whereas there is a marriage agreed upon and shortly to be confirmed between the said Moses Dimon and Jane Hill. Now it is agreed by the said parties that after the confirma­tion of the said marriage of the said Moses Dimon shall have and hold all the money, goods credits and uses of lands that said Jane Hill now stands possessed of: and it is further agreed and con­sented to that after the marriage of the aforesaid if the _said Moses Dimon happen to depart this transitory life before the said Jane then the said Jane shall have out of the estate of the said Moses Dimon (one hundred pounds current money of said

The same to be in lieu of any dower or any other demand out of the estate of the said Moses Dimon which the said Jane or any other person by, from or under her shall have.

" Be it known to all men that I, Moses Dimon of the Town and County of Fairfield, and ,vithin named do oblige my heirs, execu­tors and administrators to pasture a cow in the summer and keep her with hay in the winter for the within named Jane Hill {if after the marriage within mentioned I should happen to depart this life before her) so long as she remains my widow, over and above what I have agreed to give her in the above-mentioned covenant as witness my hand and seal this 8th March, 17 38."

Witnesses MosEs DIMON. [seal.] GEORGE McEuNE AND. BURR.

He was evidently an officer of the militia, as he was called Lieutenant in 1709, and Captain in Ij12. (F. Par. Rec.) In 1733 he was a deacon in the Fairfield Church. (F. Par. Rec.) The name of Moses Dimon appears on the following lists of those re­ceiving land at the divisions of community property in 1688, and as Moses was the only one of that name living at that time in Fairfield, it is probable he was the person, although he could have been but sixteen years old at the time.

He lived in Weston, and upon hearing of the landing of the British forces at Cedar Point, in. April, 17 7 7, he took his gun, mounted his horse, and started out to oppose the invaders. On his way he met a company of horsemen who asked him where he was going, and thinking they were friends, he replied that he was going to shoot the British. \Vhereupon he was immediately seized by them and tied on a horse and his gun was broken over a rock. He was taken to New York and imprisoned in an old sugar-house; where, it is thought, he afterward died of small-pox.

His home was plundered by the British soldiers, who took a high silk hat, a blue broadcloth coat and a pair of silver knee buckles, for which his wife afterward received payment from the British government. The inventory of his estate was dated May 21, 1778.

'' Daniel Dimon was a builder. There are certainly three houses standing, built under his supervision; his··own, a" Colonial'' which stands on the premises of Marvin Hull, Mill Plain, the dwelling of 0. W. Jones of Fairfield, and the 'Peter Burr House.' He also built the Fourth Congregational Church in 1785, which was torn down in 1849, to give place for the present structure. Mrs. Sophia Edwards, daughter of 0. lV. Jones, preserved its memory in verse. During the Revolution Daniel Dimon was commissioned as an officer, and in consequence had to leave his wife, a delicate woman, unprotected, to care the best she could for her family. She too deserves a monument." (The Old Burying Ground of Fairfield, by Kate E. Perry.) ••

The house built by Daniel was on a lot of about twenty acres, situated in the school district of Millplain on the direct road from Southport to Greenfield Hill, about one mile from the center of the town of Fairfield, and the same distq.nce from Southport. The house was a two-story frame building, standing near the road on a high elevation overlooking Mill river.

After Daniel Dimon's death the house was occupied by his son Bradley, who mortgaged it to Alfred Perry, the husband of Ann Dimon. Upon the death of Bradley Dimon, Alfred Perry sold the house to Marvin Hull, and several years later he had the building torn down to make room for a new structure. The records of Daniel and Lois Dimon, and of their children, are taken from Daniel's family Bible, now in the possession of Mary B. Dimond, Marietta, Ohio. The following is one of the entries:

'' March the 30th 1798 Daniel Dimon has been in this world 5r years. His wife Lois has been here 47 years September 1798."

Daniel was buried in the old Fairfield burying-ground, and the epitaph is as follows:

'fhe following is copied from the book on the old burying-ground in Fairfield: '' Capt. Hezekiah Sturges was the son of Solomon Sturges, who was killed in cold blood by the British, July 9, 1779, and whose body probably lies in these grounds. When he heard the British had landed, he called for his horse, which being brought, he mounted and started for his cattle, which were near the beach, with the hope of rescuing them from plunder.

"The British seeing him, a soldier fired and wounded him so that he was unable to retain his hold upon the horse, so cra,vling under a tree, another British soldier run him through with a bayo­net, thus tenninating his existence.

" Solomon, his fat her, left three sons : Hezekiah, Joseph and Judson; they were grandsons of John Sturges, born about 1624 or 1625 and died in 1700; in all probability he also lies in this ground. Hezekiah was a farmer of goodly estate, his residence was in the rear of the spreading elm on Miss Mary Nichols' premises.

Baptized Aug. 23, 1742. (F. T. Rec.) The following sketch of David Dimon is taken from "Brief

Memorials of Ancestry and Kindred," by Arthur Dimon Osborn. "David Dimon was commissioned Captain of the 4th Company

in the 5th Regiment, when the six Connecticut regiments were organized in 177 5, by Act of the General Assembly, for service in the revolutionary war. He was promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel, and on the death of the Colonel took command of the regiment, and dieQ in the service."

The following narrative was prepared by his son, Ebenezer Dimon, January 13, 1841:

"Col. David Dimon of Fairfield, commenced his Revolutionary services in 177 4, by assisting in organizing and preparing his fell ow-citizens in the town for that event. In the early part of 1775 he joined a corps of volunteers which took possession of a quantity of the King's military stores in New York.

"The States of Connecticut and New York having determined on raising forces for the invasion of Canada, my father received a commission of Captain in the corps raised for that object. I was with him from May till the end of August in their company near the city of New York and did the duty of waiter to him and of fugleman to the company, till the company broke up and the troops proceeded under the order of General Montgomery on the Canadian expedition.

"When the siege of St. Johns commenced my father was pro­moted to the rank of Brigade Major and became one of General Montgomory's staff. He assisted in taking Fort Chambly. A part of the select corps was led by Major Brown and the other part by him. At the surrender of St. Johns he was appointed to take posses­sion of the Fort and receive the submission of the garrison. He continued with Montgomery until he took possession of Montreal, at which time circumstances required him to return to Connecticut. In the campaign of 1776 he was promoted to the rank of Major in

DIMON GENEALOGY.

one of the Connecticut regiments raised for the defense of New York, and I was with him during the whole of this discouraging campaign. In the winter of that year Congress passed an order for raising the regular army, and he was again promoted to the . rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in one of the Connecticut regiments. The chief Colonel (Douglas) soon after his appointment was taken sick and died and the duty of recruiting and preparing the regi­ment for actual service devolved on my father.

" While this was in progress a detachment of the British army, under General Tryon, landed on the west side of this town on their expedition to destroy a large quantity of military stores at Danbury. As soon as the alarm had reached us here my father assembled and put in motion such of the new recruits as had been enlisted in this part of the State to harass the British on their march. In the battle of Ridgefield which took place in the same expedition, he acted under the immediate orders of General Arnold. Directly after this event the regiment was filled up and prepared for actual service and was posted on the line between this State and New York. The duties at this post became very arduous, requiring constant vigilance and change of position to prevent surprise by the numerous forces of the British then in New York. In a night movement in September the regiment be­came drenched in rain during nearly the whole night, and my father, the next day, was seized with a bilious fever, which proved· fatal in the thirty-sixth year of his age. At this time I was again with him. About two years after this the house which he left was burnt by a detachment of the British army, in the general confla­gration of this village. This loss reduced his family nearly to a state of indigence severely felt for ten years after.''

Another account is given in Lossing's Field-Book of the Revo­lution, vol. I, page 403.

"Colonels Cook and Dimon with a small force of militia at­tempted to defend Danbury against the British (April 26th, 1777): but their force being too small they retreated to the Americans at Bethel."

FIFTH GENERATION. 37

And in vol. I, page 408: "Col. David Dimon, one of Wooster's subordinate officers was

a native of Fairfield and was a brave and useful soldier. He was one of the volunteers who captured British stores at Turtle Bay, N. Y., and one of ~1ontgomery's staff in the expedition to Canada . in 177 5·

"He was active in the capture of St. Johns on the Sorel and Fort Chambly, after which he returned to Connecticut on public business, and was not with the army in its defeat at Quebec. Colonel Dimon continued in active service until after Tryon's ex­pedition to Danbury.

" He had the command of the barricades in Ridgefield and pur­sued the British to Compo A fever produced by exposure in the service caused his death in September following when in the 36th year of his age."

The fallowing anecdote of his life is told by Mrs. Mary A. Thon1pson of Stamford, Conn. "I must tell you how energetic Jesse was. He had a large shop in Fairfield, being a cabinet-maker and employed many men. An idle man frequently sauntered in, vexing uncle, ,vho said : ' Here! will you turn this grindstone ? ' The man willingly began to turn, and after a while he looked around and asked who was going to grind; and finding himself an object of mirth he made haste to leave and troubled uncle no more.''

"He was with his father in the campaign of 1777, near New Yark. He graduated at Yale College in 17 83, and settled in Fairfield. He built the house on the Dimon homestead in place of the one burned by the British in Tryon's expedition in 1779, when nearly every building in this then large and prosperous town was destroyed. He was sheriff of Fairfield county from October 20, 1806, to June 1, 1819. He was a gentleman of ex­tensive reading, an interesting talker, speaking French with facil­ity, and his house was the hospitable resort of many French officers remaining in the country after the Revolutionary war. He was one of the founders and chief supporters of the Fairfield

Mary Sherwood (Hinman) Dimon, b. Jan., 1778, in New London; d. May 25, 1852, in Fairfield; m. July 23, 1800,

Ebenezer Dimon. She was a woman of superior character and intellect. Though

the mother of a large family, and obliged to contend with ill health and straightened circumstances in the early part of her married life, owing to the death of her husband's father in the army and the burning of their house in the destruction of Fair­field, she never lost her courage or neglected her family duties, and through all kept a lively interest in literature and society. A part of her later years was spent in Boston, where she was a fa­vorite in the most refined society, which she enjoyed in company with her son Oliver, who was devotedly attached to her. .

She died at the Fairfield home, which soon after passed out of the family, all the descendants having removed from Fairfield.

She was the daughter of Capt. Elisha Hinman of New London; the following account of whom is taken from Brief Memorials of Ancestry and Kindred :

"Captain Elisha Hinman was one of the most gallant and dis­tinguished of the naval officers in the Revolutionary war. He was born at \Voodbury, Conn., ]\larch 9, 1732. His cousin, Colonel Benjamin Hinman,was colonel of the--Regiment of the Connec­ticut line, in which he served with distinction, and no less than thirteen of the fan1ily were commissioned officers during the Revo-1 utionary war. He was the great-grandson of Sergeant Edward Hinman, who came to this country and settled in Stratford, Conn., about 1650, from whom also were descended Colonel Benjamin Hinman and Hon. Joel Hinman, Chief Justice of Connecticut. He married in March, 1777, Abigail Dolbeare, the daughter of George Dolbeare of Montville and Mary Sherwood of Toilsome Hill in Fairfield. Mary Sherwood was a sister of Thomas Sher-

SIXTH GENERATION. 53

wood, whose daughter Anna married Jeremiah Osborne, thus con­necting the family on both sides with the Shenvoods. George Dolbeare was the son of John Dolbeare, a wealthy merchant of Boston. When nineteen years old Captain Hinman commanded a merchant ship engaging in trade in the West Indies, in which he was quite successful. He was commissioned, by the Continental Congress, captain of the Cabot, 16 guns, August 13, 1776, and captain of the frigate Alfred, 28 guns, October 10, 1776. After the war he engaged in mercantile business at New London." For a full account of the Hinmans, Dolbeares, and Days. see '' Hin­man's Catalogue of the First Puritan Settlers, No. 5," and'' An­cestral Tablets." · Miss Caulkins, in her History of New London says, page 537:

"Captain Elisha Hinman was one of three brothers who came fron1 Woodbury and settled in New London about 1760. He was a veteran of the sea before the Revolution and took an early part in the contest. Commanded the brig Cabot in the squadron of Commodore Hopkins, and succeeded Paul Jones in the ship Alfred, which he was compelled to surrender to the Ariadne and the Ceres, on a return voyage from France, March 9, 1778. Being carried a prisoner to England, he escaped to France, and returning home engaged for a while in private adventures. In 1779 he went out in the privateer Hallcock and had a run of brilliant success. The taking of the Lady Erskine of 10 guns, within sight of the harbor of New London, by the Hancock and Beaver, Captains Hinman and Havens, by cutting her off from a British fleet of 21 sail, under convoy of the frigate Thames, of 36 guns, added another laurel to his f a111e."

On page 640, volume I, of Lossing's Field-Book of the Revolu­tion, there is a picture of the n1onument erected to his memory at Stonington, Conn., and a copy of the inscription which gives an account of his life.

224. v. HENRY CIPPERLY.

Baptized June 4, 1804. (F. Par. Rec.) Restored the final '' d" to the name. He attended the academy at Fairfield, where he prepared himself for Yale College. Upon the death of his father -after having been burned out in an enterprise he had undertaken in the South - he went to New York city, where he was appren­ticed to a silversmith, who did every thing in his power to prevent Isaac from learning the trade, being jealous of his (Isaac's) uncle Isaac Marquand's influence. Mr. Marquand at that time con­trolled the largest retail jewelry trade in the city.

Having finished his apprenticeship without any particular knowledge of the business, o,ving to the peculiar situation in which he had been placed, Isaac made arrangements to remain one year as a journeyman, with wages and the privilege of using the tools after the day's work was done and gathering the dust from the floors of the work-rooms, from which he procured enough silver to complete a set of spoons for his mother.

At the end of the year he had $1,000 in bank and, what was more, a knowledge of his trade.

He succeeded in obtaining better terms from his employer for the next two years, during which time, by strict econon1y and .the proceeds from the invention of some labor-saving machinery­the first used in the silver trade- he had saved enough to lease

SEVENTH GENERATION. 59

the establishment for a year, and at the end of that time he bought it outright and hired his old employer as a workman.

His success as a manufacturing jeweler and silversmith was phenomenal. After some years he retired from active business and transferred his capital into real estate, and was then consid­ered one of the wealthiest men in the city.

But, unfortunately, having indorsed largely for some young men who speculated in real estate, and to save himself from their large obligations, during the financial crisis of 1840 and 1841, he took advantage of the Bankrupt Act, and gave up all he possessed. 'f he fallowing is from one of the New York papers of that time.

"UNITED STATES DISTRICT CouRT.-In Bankruptcy.-Before Judge Betts.

" Isaac M. Dimond, among the many and bitter reverses of fortune, exhibited by the applications in the Bankrupt court, none stands more conspicuous than that of this gentleman. A silver­smith by profession, he rose, by his own energies, to be master, some ten or twelve years since, of what was supposed to be an almost princely fortune, the whole of which has been lost in the storm that has wrecked so many of our most energetic, though, perhaps, in many instances, too adventurous citizens.

".l\ir. Dimond commenced, a long time previous to the specu­lating mania, successful operations in-real estate- he erected the immense pile of buildings which stand on Little Green street, in a part of which were his own works - he also purchased the Thorburne estate, in Liberty street - (his bonds and mortgages for which, in the sum of $50,000, to Grant Thorburne and Geo. C. Thorburne, form a part of his schedule} - and other buildings in the street and vicinity, and erected nearly, if not quite, all the stores on the northerly side of Liberty street, fron1 Nassau street to Broadway, thus employing a vast number of men. He also operated successfully in other parts of the city, and, although still quite a young man, his future prospects seemed brilliant and un­clouded.

"But what was object of still stronger attraction in the character

60 DIMON GENEALOGY.

of Mr. Dimond, was his proverbial charity in relation to the poor, and his ever open hand and heart in the cause of religion and be­nevolence - none contributed, compared with his means, more liberally than he did to the many enterprises having for their object the improvement in condition and the happiness of his fellow beings - the Bible Society, the missionary institutions, the Temperance cause, and such found in him, not only in word but in deed, a most active supporter. The subject of free churches early occupied a portion of his attention, and to hin1 we owe the celebrated edifice known as the Broadway Tabernacle, he having in connection with a gentleman named Greene, projected and built it. Notwithstanding, however, that it was an ornament and great source of benefit to our city, he lost an immense sum of money in its erection and support, and was finally obliged to dis­pose of it.

"l\{r. Dimond, however, has lost all, and the mind cannot but deeply regret that one so apparently deserving should have been borne upon so heavily by the calamities which have visited the active business portion of the land. We have extended this remark further than we had intended to do, but the case of Mr. D. is one so replete with considerations as to 'the events of the times, that we thought it worthy of a passing notice.'

'' His wild lands in Michigan were then thought to be of litttle value and were given back to him. It was there that he moved after his financial embarrassment and settled down in mercantile business in Jackson, Mich. He Sf>ent a large portion of his time and energy for the next twelve years in developing the town of Dimondale (named for him) in Eaton county, Michigan, where he owned much land. A.fter getting a flour and saw-mill and many other improvements under way, he and his wife returned to Brooklyn to live. Two years later he died of a congestive chill, after an illness of two days.

" Some of his property in New York has since become very val­uable One lot on \Vall street that he gave up for $15,000, was afterward sold for n1ore than one million dollars.

" He owned that time what is now the best part of Murray Hill

SEVENTH GENERATION. 61

in New York city. His motto was to 'do right' even if it brought disaster to him and his.

"As requested by him, he was buried at Fairfield by the side of his mother."

Eldest daughter of Theophilus and Miranda {Colton) Capen. He was a graduate of Harvard College and a bright and eloquent lawyer. He practiced law at Salisbury, Vt., at Warsaw, N. Y., and for a few months at Gainesville, N. Y., where he.died Septem .. ber, 1824, in his thirty-fourth year, leaving four daughters, the oldest six years and the youngest - who afterward became Mrs. Gray, mother of Mrs. W. H. Dimond of San Francisco ·- but six months old. Miranda, born April, 1795, died April 28, 1860, was a daughter of Deacon Ruben Colton of Enfield, Mass. Twelve years after the death of her husband, Theophilus Capen, she mar .. ried (Aug. 5, 1835) Leonard Woods of Enfield, Mass., by whom she had two daughters.

Theophilus Capen, Sr., father of the above, was a graduate of Harvard College, where he had fitted himself for the ministry; but from diffidence and fear of public speaking spent most of his life on a farm. He married Rachel Lambert of Kennebec, Me. They both died in Fairhaven, Vt., about 1838 or 1839.

The subject of this sketch was educated in N e\V England until fifteen years of age, when she moved to Oberlin, Ohio, at the in­vitation of her uncle, Mr. Ste\Vart, who, with the Rev. J. J. Ship­perd, had undertaken to found Oberlin College, which she atten­ded for the next four years.

From there she removed to Newark, N. J ., where she taught for a year or more. '

It was there she met Isaac M. Din1ond, and after an acquaint­ance and correspondence of a few months, she 1narried him at Enfield, Mass.

He re111ained there until early in 1834, when he received an appointment from the American Board of Foreign Missions, to take charge of the bindery department of the Mission at Hono­lulu, Hawaiian Islands. About this time he met Ann Maria An­ner of New York, to whom he was soon engnged.

Several days after their wedding, in November, they sailed for Honolulu, where he was connected with the mission for fifteen years. It was said that he was the only man from Maine to Louisiana, who could be found by the Board of Missions, and who could preach and bind books.

"Dr. David Dimon, who died at Auburn, N. Y., October 13, last, was born at Fairfield January 7, 1809. He was the son of Ebenezer Dimon of Fairfield, for many years sheriff of the county, and Mary Sherwood Hinman, daughter of Capt. Elisha Hinman of New London, a naval officer of distinction during the Revolu-

DIMON GENEALOG y.

tion. His grandfather, Col. David Dimon, commanded the Fifth Connecticut Regiment of the line, and died in the service. The Dimon family became the owners of the lot on the Main street, opposite the Academy, in Fairfield in 1670, and resided there in successive generations until 1853, when, all the descendants hav­ing removed, the property was sold. Mr. Dimon was the last sur­vivor of his generation, his brother, Dr. Theodore Dimon, having died at Auburn in July, 1889. He entered Yale College with the class of 1828, but did not graduate. He afterward studied medi­cine and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1838. He settled in Auburn, N. Y., and has ever since resided there. He was fond of reading and scientific study, a man of ability and learning in his profession, and a just, conscientious, kind-hearted gentleman. For many years he had given his professional ser­vices to the poor and needy without pecuniary reward, and many to whom he so ministered remember him with gratitude and affec­tion. He never married. His burial in the f amilv lot in the

J

Fairfield cemetery was attended by his nephews, George D. Dimon and family of Utica, and Arthur D. Osborne and family of New Haven, and ex-Governor Harrison, who married his niece, the daughter of the late Judge Osborne."

FORT CRAWFORD, September 18th, 1834.

It has become my painful duty, my dear Sir, to announce to you th_e distressing intelligence of the death of your worthy son,

SEVENTH GENERATION. 79

Lieutenant George D. Dimon, of the First Regiment, United States Infantry, caused by bilious fever. He was attacked by that disease on the 30th August, and died on the 16th inst., and was interred on the following day with every military honor usual on such occasions, attended by a Presbyterian Clergyman, the whole command, and the respectable inhabitants of the village, all of whom testified their deep sympathy on the occasion. From the first moment he was taken, he appeared to have a presentment that he would not recover, from which melancholy reflection his friends could not divert him, though every effort was made to do so. During illness, let me assure you that he received every at­tention, not only from the 1nedical gentlemen attached to the Post, Doctors Wood and 11:cLaren, but from every officer stationed here, all of whom were sincerely attached to him, and I trust it will be a source of much consolation to his afflicted and bereaved parents, as well as his other relatives, to know that since my ac­quaintance ,vith him, he has been uniformly moral, correct and gentlemanly on all and every occasion, nor have I in a single in­stance ever known him to indulge in any thing like vice or impro­priety. His friend, Captain Hitchcock, to whose company he was attached, has an inventory as well as taken possession of his ef­fects, and will correspond with you as to your wishes in relation to their disposition .... ;\.ccept, 1ny dear Sir, for yourself and family, my sincere sympathies in your trying bereavement, for most truly do I feel for you and them in this severe visitation.

D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1838, and began the practice of medicine in Stockbridge, Mass., where he remained one year. In 1839 he settled in Utica, and from there he removed to Auburn, where he spent the greater part of his life in the practice of his profession.

His religious sentiments, however, became so strong that in 1851 he went to Andover, where, after studying theology for two years, he was licensed to preach, and soon after settled in Keosanqua, Iowa, as a home missionary. Here, in addition to his labors as a pastor, he contributed to the erection and maintenance of the church. In the autumn of 1854, he was attacked with severe malarial fever, which impaired his constitution, so that he became a helpless invalid, and in this condition he was removed to the home of his brother Theodore, in Auburn, and afterward to New London, Conn., where he died. He was a man of most attractive manners, generous and self-sacrificing to the last degree.'' (Brief Memorials of Ancestry and Kindred.)

The followie.g account of his life is taken from the San Fran­cisco Chronicle of June 22, 1890:

William H. Dimond is one of the best known and most pop­ular men in California. In every line of life in which he has engaged he has attained distinction, and his name is written among the foremost on the roll of the prominent men of the State. He was born in Honolulu nearly fifty years ago, his father being an American missionary stationed at that place. He had received a high school education and entered mercantile life in his eight­eenth year. At the outbreak of the rebellion he assisted in rais­ing a company of cavalry in Honolulu for the purpose of tendering

its service to the Union, but it was found that it could not be accepted by the United States on account of foreign relations. President Lincoln, however, recognized this action, and appointed him captain and assistant adjutant-general of United States volun­teers, and he was assigned to the staff of Major-General Rufus Sex­ton, in which position he served very creditably in the department of the South until the war was over. Hostilities having ceased, Captain Dimond refused a commission in the regular army, and after touring Europe returned to Honolulu and resumed his busi­ness. King Kalakaua appointed him captain of Company B, Hawaiian Lancers. He came to California in 1867, and after being engaged with the Russell & Erwin Manufacturing Com­pany, became connected with Williams, Blanchard & Co. In 1880 he became a member of the firm, which then changed its name to Williams, Dimond & Co. It now does the largest steamship, shipping, banking and general commercial business on the coast. General Dimond is prominently identified with a number of the city's enterprises. He has held a high place in the National Guard of the State since his appointment as lieutenant-colonel and aide-de .. camp on the staff of Governor Perkins on January 26, 1880. On December 14, 1881, he was appointed brigadier-gen­eral of the Second Brigade, and was reappointed on January 30, 1883, by Governor Stoneman, and on February 7, 1887, by Gov­ernor Bartlett. Governor \Vaterman appointed him major-gen­eral of the division on September 28, 1887. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was Chairman of the Fi­nance Committee during the National Encampment held in San Francisco in 1886. He has also been the department commander of the military order of the Loyal Legion. In 1886 he was a prominent candidate before the Republican State Convention for the nomination for Governor. He is now Chairman of the Re­publican State Central Committee, and in recognition of his ser­vices to the party, President Harrison appointed him Superintend­ent of the Branch of the United States Mint in this city. He was a delegate to the Chicago Convention which nominated Har­rison. For three years he was a Comn1issioner of the Golden

John Thomas Waterhouse was born May 16, 1816, in Berkshire, England, and attended school at Wood House Grove in 1825. In April, 1883, he started for America with the intention of going into the fur business. Some years later his father secured a posi­tion in Australia, and moved there with his family of ten children. John Thomas Waterhouse soon afterward settled in Hobart Town, Tasmania, where for ten years he carried on an extensive busi­ness, owning a large number of vessels. His health requiring a change of climate, he removed to Honolulu, in one of his own vessels, in 1851, and there purchased the property upon which he now lives. His success in business has been phenomenal, and hiS interests have extended into California and Iowa. Wherever he is known his influence is felt in the cause of the righteous, especially so in the Hawaiian Islands, where he and his family have long been identified with the history of the country.

In 1860 Mrs. Gray married Charles Merriam, of the firm of G. & C. Merriam, publishers of Webster's Dictionary, and with her family removed again to Springfield.

Soon after Ellen Gray attended Miss Porter's school at Farm­ington, Conn., and later on taught school at New Britain, Conn., for one winter, to please her stepfather, who promised to double all she might earn in that way.

In 1864 she became acquainted ,vith Wm. H. Dimond, who came from the Hawaiian Islands to serve as a volunteer in the war; and a year later they were engaged. Soon after their mar­riage they sailed for the Hawaiian Islands, where he was engaged in business.

For the remainder of her life most of her time was spent in that city, and it was there she died.

During the last ten years of her life she was quite an invalid; but through all her suffering she maintained the same beautiful disposition which had characterized her life and which had en­deared her to a large number of friends.

The fallowing is condensed from the Bridgeport Republican Standard of July 11, 1890:

" Dr. Charles Taylor, a wealthy and highly-respected citizen, and a life-long resident of this town, died July 4, aged sixty-one years. He had been ill for several months with spinal meningitis, which was developed by a severe attack of la grippe last winter. The deceased was a son of Dr. Charles Taylor, and like his father, practiced medicine all his life in this village. He was elected to the State Legislature by the Democrats in '78, '79, '83, and '89, and he was a director of the First National Bank. He was a man of genial manners and sunny temperament, and one who will be much missed by all. He bore his long and pain£ ul illness with much patience and fortitude. He was very charitable in his views, and it was hard for him to see any thing but the best side of the character of every man. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Miss Margaret, and Mrs. T. J. Lee.''

He enlisted in a New York regiment early in the Revolutionary war, and served until its close. He was at Fort Stanwix at the time of the battle of Oriskany, at Valley Forge, and Yorktown. For a considerable period he served as paymaster. After the war he remained a year in Philadelphia and then went to New York, where he engaged in the dry goods busi­ness with Captain Isaac Hubbell, and at the end of a year he opened a store, in connection with the New York business, in that part of the town of Weston, which is now Easton, Conn., in which he was quite successful until his health required him to give up the business and engage in farming. He was a public­spirited citizen, taking an active part in the affairs of the town, which he represented in the Legislature in 1813 and 1815."

" In the ancient cemetery at Ridgefield, two stones, one a free­stone and the other granite, are still to be seen: one marks the grave of Sarah, wife of Richard Osborne, and is the oldest stone now standing in town." (Teller's History of Ridgefield, p. 41.)

Harriet Cornelia (Newton) Dimond, b. June 12, 1868, in Brooklyn, N. Y.; m. Oct. 24, 1888, Edwin R. Dimond.

Daughter of Albro J. and Delia A. {Lewis) Newton. '' Albro J. Newton was born in Sherburne, N. Y., August 16,

1832. His earliest years were spent in Sherburne, until he was twenty-one years old.

'' He then went to Binghamton, N. Y., and engaged in the man­ufacture of sash and blinds for seven years. He removed to Brooklyn, where he continued the same business until the present time, where he has accumulated a handsome competence. On August 16, 1860, he married Delia A. Lewis. She was born June 12, 1840, and died August 3, 1878. They had four children, all born in Brooklyn."

He was the son of" '\iVilliam Newton, born in Colchester, Conn., October 15, 1786.

"When twenty years of age he left his boyhood's home and went to New Berlin, N. Y., where he worked at his trade, that of a puddler. Later that year he purchased the farm in the woods, in Hamilton, where he built a log-house, and sent for the family. They arrived the next year, 1807.

"After the family were settled in their new home, William started out again, going to Camden, Oneida county, N. Y., where he worked at his trade quite successfully for three years. During this time, probably in one of his visits home, he met Lois Butler

108 DIMON GENEALOGY.

(born December 12, 1790), who captured his heart, and they were married August 22, 1810. She had come to Hamilton from Weth­ersfield, Conn., when four years of age.

" They moved to Sherburne, Chenango county, N. Y., where Wil­liam built a woolen mill on Handsome brook, in the north-western part of the quarter. He worked the mill for sixteen years, but when it burned down the second time he ceased the business of manufacturing. This, however, was not their only means of subsist­ence. He was also engaged on two contracts for excavating the Erie canal, one at Utica, and the other at Verona. He then went to Pennsylvania and engaged for two years in the Delaware and Hudson canal, and on a railroad near Bethany. Subsequently he had large contracts on the Chenango, and on the Black River canals. While thus engaged, he also bought a farm at Sher­burne, and carried on large farming interests there until about 1860, when he passed its title and charge over to his son Lucius, and he and Lois, his wife, lived there quietly and peacefully, resting from the labors of a long and busy life until they were called up higher.

" The children of William and Lois Newton were eleven in num­ber, all of whom were born in Sherburne, N. Y. He died Aug. 3, 1879, aged 93 years, and his wife died Feb. 6, 1885, aged 95 years.''

He was the son of Asahel Newton, born in Colchester, Conn., June 1, 1758, the first of whom any authentic record is had. The earliest history which can be obtained concerning the Newton family is, that they were prominent in Colchester, Conn., from its first settlement in the early part of the eighteenth century. It is said that they were descended from Thomas Newton, at one time of Fairfield, Conn.

" Asahel Newton was a soldier of the Revolution, and among other traditions rememLered by his descendants, it is said that at the storming of Stony Point by lVIad Anthony ,vayne, he was one of the forlorn hope of picked men who led the way to make open­ings in the palisades surrounding the place, to give entrance to the storming parties. He was also one of Washington's body-

NINTH GENERATION. 109

guard, and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at York­town.

"On February 19, 1784, he married Versalle, a daughter of Wil­liam and Hannah Booth. She was born in New London, Conn., March 28, 1763. Mr. Booth came from England a short time before his marriage to Hannah, a daughter of Benjamin Chamber­lain and Hannah Wyatt.

'' They were living in New London at the time of its destruction by fire at the hands of the English, in September, 1781. They had ten children, all of whon1 were born in Colchester, Conn. Asahel died May 30, 1834, at East Hamilton, N. Y., and his wife died March 28, 1843, at the same place." ( Genealogical Record of the Newton and Hatch Families.)

THE DYMONT OR DIMON FAMILY OF EAST HAMPTON, LONG ISLAND.

The Dymont family was among the first settlers at East Hamp­ton, Long Island, one of the first English settlements in the State of New York.

It was made in 1649, by a Puritan ancestry, a greater part of whom came as a colony, after remaining but a short time in Lynn, Mass.

The name Dymont appears in the early records of the town, but not among the original nine. The original spelling of the name, as found in signatures affixed to ancient family papers, as wills, deeds, etc., is Dymont, although later, all the various pos­sible ways are used by others. Through a will bearing the date 1682, is obtained the earliest private record of the first progenitor of the Dimon family. (David Foster Dimon.)

In a deed dated July 28, 1682, to his son Thomas, the name is spelled Dymont.

" Ezekiel Dimon, the common ancestor of the families of that name now resident in Concord, came hither with his wife (Miriam Fowler) about 1750. Both were natives of South Hampton in this State. They had ten children, seven sons and three daugh­ters, two of whom died in infancy. All the sons except one lived to be over 7 o years of age, and two were between 80 and 90. Mr. Dimond's ancestors emigrated from Devonshire, England, to this country. He was the first settler on the farm now owned by Mr. Joseph S. Abbot, on what is called Dimond's Hill, and lived in a log house on the brow of the hill.

'' He became an extensive land-owner, and had a proprietor's right. · In their log house the family was often alarmed by the Indians, and moved back and forth from their farm to the fort.

SECOND GENERATION. 135

" Once, when alarmed by the Indians, Mrs. Dimond had a web in her loom. She took out the yam beam, wound the reed and harness about it, carried it to the iort, and wove it out there." (His ... tory of Concord, N. H., by Rev. N. Bouton.)

APPENDIX.

METHOD OF DIVIDING COMMUNITY LAND IN FAIRFIELD.

All persons who had been freemen, and contributed toward the purchase of Indian lands, were allowed to be dividend holders. The purchase of a large tract of land did not result in its full di­vision at any one tiµie; but as many acres were staked out from time to time as the planters found themselves capable of improv­ing. The dividends were by lottery, each head of a family, his wife and children, drawing as many acres, half acres, quarter acres, and roods, as fell to his or their proportion, at their town or county rates.

The fallowing was clipped f ram an English newspaper of recent date:

"The late John Cadbury, of Cocoa fame, was for many years a familiar figure in Birmingham streets. He was a Quaker, and dressed like a Quaker, with a broad-brimmed hat and plain black attire. Born in the first year of the century, and the son of a nonogenarian, he had eighty-eight years of life. Ending with Cocoa, he began with tea and coffee, and now the great works at Foumeville cover a large acreage, and give employment to more than twelve hundred work-people. By marriage, Mr. Cadbury was connected with one of the most famous Quaker families. His wife was Priscilla Dymond, sister to the famous Jonathan Dymond, the author of 'The Principles of Morality,' which John Bright edited."

The Prime Ancient Society, of Fairfield, Conn.: Page 25. "On July 20th, 1879, a town meeting was held, when

it was voted that Geo. Burr, Thaddeus Burr, Abraham Andrews, and Samuel Odell, be a committee to wait upon Colonel Jonathan Dimon, and desire him to appoint fifty men to keep guard in the Prime Society, and twenty-five men at Green's Farms, and fifteen men at Stratfield. Also, to request him to appoint such men as are friendly to the United States of America."
