The home of the two was in Rosendale, Wis., where the)' had Sarah, T Martha Elizabeth and John Scribner.8. When Norwalk parted with its Enoch Scribner blood and sent it to the west the town thence diffused an excellent emigration element. Years have flown and others till the Scrib- ner fields and fill the Saugatuck Scribner places. Their mother town proudly notes the fact that its children of this family occupied with honor to themselves, and with the approbation ol their fellows, positions of trust in town, county, state and the church in the land of their adoption. •Arthur, si. 11 of Enoch and Catharine Scribner, married Kate Hall of Green Bay, Wis., and has a son and daughter.

The Andrews family from which Mrs. Benjamin Scribner1"* sprang was the old Hart- ford and Fairfield Francis and Anna (Smith) Andrews household. In his will, executed June 6, 1662, of which instrument he appointed Dr. Thomas Pell "overseer," Mr. Andrews men- tions his daughter Hannah (Mrs. John Crampton), and remembers his "granddaughter Hannah Crampton " (Mrs. Benjamin Scribner1"). Five of the Norwalk Scribners, viz: Hezekiah, born 1759, Elias, Thaddeus, John, Thomas born 1760, settled in 1783 in New Brunswick. The mother of Rev.

Her son Enoch overlived her between three and four years and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Enoch Scribner (Betty Benedict), lived until April 19, 1835. Benjamin1" and Hannah Scribner cradled their children on the exact spot where now stands the old Joseph Scribner Saugatuck home, a little to the eastward of "Boston Bridge" and "Indian Brook," and not remote from "Indian Field." The elevation is gentle and its southeast slope towards the present Saugatuck is beautiful. On September 21, 1741, Benja- min Scribner, the ancestor, deeded the hearthstone to his son Matthew Scribner1". The children of Mary (Mrs. Lewis Benedict), daughter of Enoch and Betty Scribner, were William, Lewis, Elizabeth, Isaac, George, Sarah and Abby Jane.

With the exception of Joseph, Thomas and Richard Smith, the Samuel (Smith's Ridge) and what may be termed the Hadley Smith lines, appear to be Norwalk oldest men- tion of the family name. The exact manner in which the referred-to Joseph, Thomas, Richard and Samuel Smith were Long Island related it is difficult to determine, but the Hadley, Mass., lineage is distinctly traced. Samuel and Elizabeth Smith sailed from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, in April, 1634, with four children aged respectively nine, seven, four and one years, the parents being somewhat above thirty years old. They came first to Watertown, Mass., removed thence to Wethersfield, and thence to Hadley in 1659-60. Mrs. Smith died March 16, 1685, and Mr. Smith during the same year. Their children were Samuel2""1, Elizabeth, Mary, Philip, John, and Chiliab or Kiliab. Kiliab (see page 363), born about 1635, lived to reach his ninety-sixth year. He mar- ried, in 1661, Hannah, daughter of Luke Hitchcock of Wethersfield, which Hannah was held "in wide repute as a singer," and benefactor. The children of Kiliab and Hannah Smith were Hannah, born July 7, 1662 (Mrs. John Montague) ; Samuel, born March 9, 1664; Luke, born April 16, 1666; Ebenezer1*', born July n, 1668; and Nathaniel, born January 2, 1670, who died young. Samuel married Sarah Bliss, Luke, Mary Crow, and Ebenezer1"1, October, 1691, Abigail, daughter of John and Abigail (Marvin) Bouton (see page 349).
