BOOK:Robert Morgan of Beverly,Mass.,Some Descendants and some Intermarried families.1600-1981 Compiled by Betty Meland Stone.!Book:Robert Morgan of Beverly of Mass.Some Descendants and Some Intermarried
Families.Deacon Jonathan Elkins,was born at Hampton,N.H.Removed to Haverhill N.H. in 1760 ,Being among the first settlers of that town and coming there in "troublous times." From thence in 1775 he removed his family to Peacham, Vermont. His was the first family to settle in town and his house was the first Public House kept on Peacham.He was also the first Deacon of the church in Peacham and more than any other,he may be called the father of the town. On March 8,1781 the Bristish soldiers came to his door and carried away his 20 year old son, Jonathan junior, as a prisoner of war. The younger Jonathan was carried first to Quebec, then to Lands End in England, and finally in 1783 was exchanged for one of Cornwallis's soldiers and was able to return to his fathers home.
From the book" The story of Peacham." To the Elkins belongs the honor of being the first permanent settler.He was the only one of the original group of the original group of five who venturerd to move his to Peacham,which he did in July 1775. but when General Bayley moved with his men to Newbury, Elkins was obliged to retreat with them after a stay of only three weeks. He remained in Newbury until March,1776, when he again ventured back to Peacham with his son; in July he brought on his family. Here he was joined by John Skeels and Archibald McLaughlin, with their families,and in 1777 by James Bayley, Asher Chamberlin, and Noah Hollyday(Holiday) with their families.
A vivid account of the first settlement,showing the hardships endured by these sturdy pioneers, is given by (Jonathan Elkins Jr.) Which is worth quoting in extenso.
"My father,who then lived in Haverhill,N.H.,just opposite Newbury,Vt., hard of the goodly land and with some others, went to it in Sep. the same year(1774) he wae so pleased with it he pitched him a lot, and when he got home put his farm on sail emediatly.
He soon sold his place (on yearly payments for several years payable in grain &c, before some of his notes became due 1lb. of Corn would pay 20 or 30 Dollars of his note), and then made preparation to go to Peacham in tne spring.
In may 1775 my Father, my self in my 14th year, with 2 hired men, set out for Peacham. No road, nothing but a spotted line with know and then a bush, cut 20 miles from the settlement in Newbury. My Father led his horse loded with Provisions.We drove a yoak of oxen and a cow (that was expected to calve within the month) and when we got on to the ground we found on the lot adjoining the one my Father has pitched, Robert Cour (Carr) in a small camp, whair we pitched till we bilt a log house and bound it with bark.
Thair was Dr. John Skeels, Coll.Frey Bailey, John Sanborn, and some others that came on that spring, and a number more through the summer my Father clared of a number of acres & sowed six or 8 acres with winter wheat, and he hyered 10 acres,to be clared of (off) for to be sowad with oats the next year.
In the fall we all retreated to Haverhill,N.H. the next spring, in March 1776, part of Butler's Rigmen was going through the woods to St.Johns, on their way through Peacham, my Father thought it a good time to go on with the first company to Peacham and prepare for making shugar, and I with him. He took his old pung with his Provisions & Blankets & Snowshoes (and) started with the first Company.
The year before, several Scotch Famerlys had got on to Ryegate, viz. Genl.Whitlaw, Coll. Harvey, John Handerson, John Gray & several others not recolected, and thay had kept a sled road as far as thair, and the Solders had slays to carry thair packs as far as thair. My Father had a boy that cam with us, to take his horse back. He gave me for a pack 3 pecks of meal, my Blanket & Showshoes. He took his pack, and went on with the Pitch in frunt. My pack was so heavy I was not able to keep up with him, and had to linger behind among the Solders, and I saw no more of him till the next day when we got through to Frey Baileys house in Peacham. I was verry much bet out, for my load was two heavy.
The next day my Father & my self Came to our house, which was a mile from whare the track that the Solders past to the west of us. My Father and my self went emeadately about making troughs for sugring, and in 8 or ten days we had got prepared for taping our trees. My father got 1 or 2 kittles halled from Ryegate on hand sleds, and he went home to Haverhill and left me, for a few days to take care of the sap. We made consedrable shuger, and after the snow went of seceral people returned to their farmes as they called them."
