General Notes (Husband)
WALLINGFORD
Thirty years after the New Haven Colony was establis h e d , i t wasconfronted with that ever re c urring prob l e m o f a rap idly growingcommunity--the disposition of i t s s urpl us popul ation. T he oretically, itwas a simpl e ma tte r to m ove ou t a few miles and take up unoccupie d land ;a c tua lly , the p roblem was somewhat more compli cated.
The original planters owned a strip of land border i n g t h e Sound, tenmiles broad, and extend i ng norther l y mo re t ha n twenty miles to thesouthern boundary of t h e Conne cticu t C olony. No t a ll of this section,howeve r , was sui tabl e fo r settlement; frequently a considerab l e dista nc e inte rvene d between the original settlemen t a nd one to b e proje cted.D eer, bear, moose, c ata moun ts , and wolves r oamed th e fores t at will.Nights were ma d e hideous with th eir howli ng ; t h ey killed cattle and sh eep. Indians, appa rently fri endly , were wont to brea k lo ose at un expecte d times and i n unpr epared places . It re quired courage t o open such acou ntry.
Our forefathers in New England adopted the practic e o f g r o upingthemselves in villages or pl a ntations fo r mu tua l p ro tection, and theplans for colonization wer e alwa ys m etho dic al and d el iberate. Thus: "Ata regula r meeti ng" t he in habi tants of Quinnipiac "voted to erre ct a vil la g e upon o ur la nds lieing above ye great plai ne," and , af ter duedeli berati on, the "Genera l Cou rte " at Hartf ord ( Oct. 10, 166 7) gran tedthe "towne of Ne w Haven liber tie t o make a vil l ag e o n ye East Riverpr ovided they se tl e a villiage ther e wit hin fower years f rom May next. "
Shortly after the "libertie" had been granted, the "in h a b i tants andmagistrates" held meetin g s and made plan s . T hi rt y-nine persons, amongwhom were John and Josep h Iv es , ent ere d int o a " covenant" whichprovided tha t "we d o e engag e per sonally to settle upon ye place b y May nex t , commenci ngnext , come twelve mont h , if God 's Provide nc e inevitabl y hinde r not."Those who signed t his Walling for d agreemen t w er e

The agreement, dated "31st of ye 11th month 1669" (J a n . 3 1 , 1668), provided that "the s'd co m pany and al l o th er s ad mitted planters amongthem, shall enjoy thei r acc omm oda tion s and land s , without payment ofpurchas e mone y t o Ne w Have n, to themselves, their heirs, succe ssor s a n d assig ns, for ever, so far as concerns New Hav en to wn's pur chas e within t hevillage bounds. "
The "Courte of Election," meeting at Hartford, May 1 2 , 1 6 7 0, fixed thefirst bounds of Walli n gford: "Fro m th e li tt l e Brook at the south end ofthe great plain t o y e North wa r d Ten Mile s , and from the said brooksout hwar d to Bra nfo r d Bounds and on each side of the Rive r fiv e m il es," prov id ing that "said village do not pre judic e any Bound s forme rl y grantedto any Plan tat ion o r part icular perso n or d o no t extend to ye north anyfur ther th an to reach t he ol d r o a d to New Haven yt goet h over Pi lgrimsHarbor. " Bitte r disp utes resulted from o verlappin g b oun dary li nes.
The first settlement made at the "south end of the pr e s e n t Main Street,on the east side o r s lope of the hi ll , " w a s probably in the year 1670.At this time the Ol d Co lo ny R oa d, "th e firs t highway laid out in thestat e," a n d chie f ar tery between Hartford and New Haven, wa s , w e m a yconc lude , little more than a trail. It follo wed, g ener ally, th eQuin nipiac River, b ut at Wa llingfo rd wa s abou t a mile e ast o f thatstream. The village wa s lai d out wit h a "Lo n g Highwa y " extending northand s outh , and "Cros s Highway s" runnin g east from the Colon y Roa d ."House l o tts" wer e plotted wi thin the village , aroun d which were " CommonFie lds," "Wilder n ess," "Pla n ting F ield," "Buryin g Ground, " and "Landlai d out fo r purpose s other than buil din g or H ouse L otts."
Joseph Ives drew lot number ten, on the east sid e o f t h e L ong Highway,and adjacent to the " W ilderness ;" w it h th is w ent title to "ye Riverlott belonging to y tt. " Hi s tota l all otment w a s eight acres of land.
But not all who settled "in Wallingford" establishe d h o m e s in thevillage. Farther up the ri v er there wer e , a t a n e arly date, a few"north farmers" cultivating " la y ou ts " of l and. Her e , in the Author'sopinion, Joh n Iv es ma d e a settl ement previous to that at Wallingfor d vil lag e . H is marriag e is recorded as Nov. 12, 1668 , the ye ar i n whic h thefirs t lots were drawn , an d i t may be th at Jo hn an d Hannah too k awedding trip on hor seback or wi th o x cart o ver t he tr a il along theQuinni piac. Indeed , if w e accep t the statemen t that "all hi s children wer e bo r n in Walli ngford," his se ttlement m ust have been m ade b efore thato f the village colo ny , a s t he first so n was b orn Nov. 14 , 1669.
John Ives is referred to, variously, as being a resi d e n t " ofWallingford," of "Meriden," a n d "of that pa r t o f Wa llin gford whichbecame Meriden." All of these st at emen ts, t houg h confu si ng, arecorrect. In reading th e h istor y of W allin gford, one forms the idea thatthe no r t h far m s wer e on th e east side of the river, yet w e fi nd thatGid eon Iv es (Gide on3), after re movin g fro m Nort h Farms t o the vil lageof Wa llingford, was appoint ed on c ommittee s to sett l e dispu te s with"our neighbor s acro s ye river " (North Fa rms and Chesh ire). If weunde rsta n d that Nor t h Farms an d Cheshire Stree t were buil t u p on bothsides o f the Quinni piac, the co nfus ion di s app ears.
One of the first settlers at North Farms was William I v e s ' s oldestchild, John, and here Joh n 3 and Gideon3 m a d e ho me s. But from certainquit-claim deeds given by Gi de o n to h i s brothe r Jo hn, and the intimateknowledge w hi c h Gideo n se ems to have had of the affairs of the vil l a g e ,it see ms pr obable that Gideon, at the time of hi s se co nd marriag e, tur nedhis North Far ms p roperty ove r t o hi s son (Gideo n4), an d took up hisresidence at Wal ling for d village.
A second "devision" was laid out in 1686, bounde d b y a l i n e runningwesterly from the mil l a t Yalesvil le , thre e mi le s, to the "brod swomp;"thence northerly t o t he Quin nipia c , and b ac k to Yalesville. Thisdivisio n in cluded l and n o w enclosed within the boundaries of C heshi r e and M eride n , and gave to those proprietors wh o hel d the "hies? ? ran k " 333acres of additio na l land.
It is evident, also, that at one time rather ambitio u s p l a ns were underway for a villag e a t Falls Plains ; w h y i t ne ver materialized is notknown. John Ives wa s on e o f th e prom oter s o f this enterprise. On a mapo f th e divi sion , date d Feb. 19, 1689, his name appears o n l o t num b er39 , "Joh n Ives, deceased." His death occu rre d in 1681 o r 168 2.
The territory "westward of the Blew Hills," across t h e " N e w Haven EastRiver," was named " y e Fresh Meddoe . " Thi s g en eral locality was alsoreferred to as "west f ar ms." H er e wer e th e ho mes of several Ivesfamilies (s e e Cheshir e) . Durin g the troubles with the Indians, th e a uthor itie s " voated t hat settlements beyond ye Ble w hill s" should n ot b emade; th ose who visi ted th is sp ot wer e ordered t o "go e in Company s ofeight or more men , wit h proper arms. " The r e was a ls o an edict "thattme n wh o goe to ye wes t farm s shall not go e until an hou r afte r su nrise,a nd s hall co me back an hou r befoar y e sun sh all sett." In cas e thedist ance was to o g reat t o c ompl y with this regulat ion, rud e forts wereco nstruc ted in wh ich to spend the nig ht s.
The first grant of land in the present area of Chesh i r e w a s made to JohnMoss, Sr., "acro s y e Ten Mile Riv er . " H e wa s given authority to "joynepersons in marriag e, " w hic h auto matic all y gave him the title of"Mister. " T he s ecti on arou nd Moss Farms became justly popular , a n d ma n yof W allingfo rd's families moved in.
A decision of great importance was reached in 1712 , w h e n t he town"voated that the proprieto r s of Wallin gfo r d we re t he original settlersand their hairs, and y e oth er s tha tt we re admea te d as Planters bypurchase. " In ef fec t, thi s reso lution excluded from a share in f uture di vis i ons o f land e veryone except the "heds" o f families , o r their "h airs,"wh o signed the Wall ingf o rd agreemen t, o r who purch ased th e rights ofsuch origin al proprieto rs. T here were , a t th e t ime, 154 of these proprietors , amon g them bein g four o f the Ives family : John, Josep h ,Gideo n , and Nath aniel--al l sons of th e first John. J oseph, br other ofJohn, 2 sold hi s allo tm ent t o "Goodn F oote," a s related late r in thischa pter ; his descendant s did not s hare in s ubseq uen t sale s o funallotted lands.
Though the town of Wallingford later permitted the pla n t e r s to explorethe wilderness wes t o f the Quinnipia c , a n d es tablish settlements there,it did not grant th e m muc h f reedo m o f acti on. For years, the farmers oft h e Mil l Rive r an d those of the North Farms were requi r e d to a t tendSa bbat h worship in the Wallingford chur c h and, in t he absenc e o f a"propper" exc use, a f in e o f "two shillin gs sixpenc e" w as imposed. Itwas necess ary , also, for the m to cro s s the r i ver to attend town meet ings. They wer e even compel led to i nform themselve s of t he t ime andp l ace of such me etings.
Opposition to this last requirement became so stro n g t h a t a slightconcession was granted. D r ums were be at e n o n th e west side of the river"thirdsday or frida y mor ni ng , fro m ye North F ar ms to ye West Farms," as a "sofi cie n t warnin g" of a town meeting across the rive r at Wal li n g f ord"ye n ext tusday, eight o'clock." Bu t the desir e f o r a new societ y with aschool and c hur c h of its ow n to o k root, and an ap peal was made to the town in this f orm:
"We your Neighbors have for sum considerable tim e m a n y o f us dweltremotely from sd town & u n der grea t Dis ad va ntag e as to ye great Duty ofEdicateing of ou r childr en, " a nd w e hope "y e to wn would grant us ourp roportion abl e par t" o f the school money and permissio n to "ke e p a sc hool e accor ding to Law & ye Bounds we D esire," o n the wes t sid e of the river.
Apparently, this request was not granted, as the mat t e r w a s carried tothe "Honorable Govern o ur & genera l as se mbl y " at Hartford. May 2, 1717,"ye celectmen at W allin gfo rd " we re ordere d t o show cause why thepetitio n shou ld n o t be ac ted on favorably. Gideon Ives (Gideon 3), w i th ot he r select men, appeared at Hartford to pres ent th e answe r th at--
"Whereas the west farmers .... have sited us ... . t o m a k e answer if wesee caws;" therefor e , we "answe r th a t w e fe ar att present that they arenot able to sup por t th e wo rship e of go d a mongst themselves as it aug htt o be, " an d that " it will be greatly detrimental to y e to wn e a n dse verall in habitants." We "believe ye grea t wis dom an d prude nce of thi sassembly wil l neve r dest ro y a town t o mak e a village."
The Assembly thereupon appointed a committee, which re p o r t ed to theGeneral Assembly at Ne w H aven, October , 17 1 8 : "W e have vewed andconsidered the State of the W est f ar me rs i n Walli ngfo rd and finde therenumber of f amily s t o b e abou t 45 (including in ye numbr sum few ne w begi nn e rs t hat hav e not fammilys);" that "20, or mor e, ar e again stbre aking of f from the Town ," an d "thin k it be st tha t said f armerscon tinue still with ye Town e of Wall ingford ."
Thus the first skirmish in the struggle to establi s h a v i l lage with aseparate school and ch u rch, on th e w est si d e o f the Quinnipiac river,ended in the defea t o f the we s t sid e farmers .
In the summer of 1927, the Author called on an aged m e m b e r of the Ivesfamily, who lived ne a r the spot whe r e o u r fo refathers helped to foundthe town of Wallingfo rd . T h e hous e in whi c h this venerable man livedhad be e n bui l t by hi s ancestors about the time of the Revolut i o n . T he exterio r had recently been covered with shing le s, but o the rwise th e housestood as i t w as built. Ho w d o these C olon ial house s withstand, to sucha remarkab le d egree, th e rava ge s o f t ime?
The first structures erected by the pioneers were o f l o g s , the roofsbeing often thatched wi t h hay or str aw . So m e w ere set on fire by theflaming arrows of the I ndi an; o th er s yielde d t o the process of decay.In thei r pl ace, s ubs tan tial frame buildings were erected.
The timbers of these new structures were of white o a k h e l d together bywooden pins. This "fr a me" was cove re d wi t h o ak boards, which were "sawnor slit" by hand ; th e roof -b oard s were co ve red with shingles "riven"f rom s ection s o f log s with sharp wedges. "Clabboards" we re som et im e sobt aine d in this same manner, though th e "saw mi ll" ma de it s early appearance.
To facilitate the hand work, a platform was erecte d , o n w h ich the logsto be "slit" were lai d . Two men , on e ab ov e an d one below, armed with adouble-handed sa w, co uld c u t fro m one hund re d to two hundred boards o rplank s i n a d ay. Th e pay of the "top man" was sixpenc e more t h a n t he" pitman " received, the average wage be ing abou t f ifty cent s per da y.Perhaps the topma n h a d the great er p ay becaus e he was r equired to liftth e saw. It woul d seem , however , tha t th e p itman was en titled to somec onsider ation fo r enduring th e rain of sa wdust which mu s t have f il ledhi s eyes, ears, a nd neck.
There were no cellars in many of these old house s , b u t a p it was dug inone end, which cou l d be reach e d thro ug h a do or cut in the floor. Thechimney, with i t s huge fi rep lace an d ove n , was built first; it often st ood for mo nth s befor e the frame of the house was erec ted . Th e s to nesi n this c himney were held together b y a te nacious lim e mort ar whichd efied the elem ents . M asons d eclare the s ecret o f its comp osition hasbeen los t, but s ome think i t was ma d e fro m oys ter and clam sh ells.
Wooden pins held the boarding in place, though "wrou g h t i r on nails, costing one dollar a pou n d" were us e d t o fast e n the shingles. Doorswere constructed of tw o t hick nesse s o f boards, t h e outer ones beingvertical , th e inn er one s pl aced at an angle of 45 degrees, wit h nail s dri v en thr oug h and clinched on the inside. A l atch wh ich he ld the do orcl osed was lifted fro m wit hou t by a t hong o f leather p assin g through ahole in the do or. At ni ght, th e "latch st r ing " w as withdraw, and th eoccupant s of th e house slep t in sec urity.
"You will find our latch-string out," an expressi o n i n u s e even today,had its origin in Col o nial time s , bu t it w a s no safer then than now toextend the privi le ges o f one' s h ome indisc ri minately. We read ofwhipp ing -post s bein g se t up in community centers, and ther e is l itt l e doub t tha t some were publicly flogged fo r stealin g an d lying .

There was an agreement among the proprietors of the Wa l l i n gfordplantation that "not any m a n shall have pow e r t o s el l his accommodationto another man, and leave t h e tow n un ti l hee h av e dwelt upon itt threeyeares, a n d afte r thre e ye ars he may sell or lyniate [alienate ] i t t t oa ny suc h as t he town shall approve of." In vi ew o f this pr ovision , twoex tracts from to wn m eeting s prov e interesti ng: (1 ) Oct. 20 , 1674,"voted that Good n Foot e shall hav e liber t y to b u y the lott yt is Jose phEive s provided h e procur e sufficien t testimony of hi s good c o nversat ion in ye pla se where h e now pretendet h to remo ve," and (2) J anuary, 16 75, "The tea st imon y o f Goodn fo ote being seves ent [suffic ient] and ax ept ed,he was admit ted a planter up o n the lo t t that was J o seph eives."
Thus ended the connection of Joseph2 with the Wallin g f o r d plantation. AtNorth Haven wil l b e found a monum e n t er ec ted to his memory; there seemslittle doubt tha t h i s bod y wa s inte rre d there. Why he disposed of his hold in gs a t Walli ngford we do not know; but it is evide n t , f r o m a studyo f records that, after "possessing" h i s lot f or t he three ye ars requiredunde r th e agreemen t , he sol d hi s rights to "G oodn Foote," and returnedt o No rth Have n wher e, fo r som e y ears, nearly all of hi s des cendantsr emained.
There was a further understanding among the original p l a n t ers of thetown of Wallingford: "T h ose that hold l o t s i n y e towne of Wallingford and are not Resident up o n y e pla ce a nd do notpay their rates [ta x es] withi n on e mo nth af ter d emanded shall be liableto forfeit th ayr e lots. " Inasm uch a s Jo se ph did not share in divis ions of Walli ngford l ands a fter 1712, and his brother, " Joh n Ive s d e cd,"did , how ca n this be reconciled wit h th e fact tha t the name o f John Iv esdoes not a ppe a r wit h Joseph's o n the early Wa llingfor d maps?
