King Philip's war, in 1G74, under Capt. Pool, in the company
in which Samuel (son of William) Lane served. The tra-
ditions differing from this do not seem reliable. In 1692 he
married in Newbury, Mass., Joanna Davenson. Ten years
later, he was Capt. Lane, and served some 15 or 20 years as
an officer in So. Eastern, Maine.

2. — QuiNNATissiT, Conn. — G. R., in the January num-
ber of 1891, is mistaken in saying that Quinnatissit is, or
ever was, a village in the town of Woodstock, Conn. Wood-
stock was first incorporated by Massachusetts in 1690, and
remained under the jurisdiction of the Colony until 1749,
when it was annexed to Connecticut. Quinnatissit was the
Indian name of a large tract of land which was included in
the town of Killingly, Conn., when it was incorporated in
1708, and so continued until it was included in the town of
Thompson, Conn., which was incorporated in May 1785. If
G. R., will look at i)age 175 of the first volume of Miss Ellen
D. Larned's history of Windham County, he will find an in-
teresting sketch of Quinnatissit, Conn.

1843, an edition, edited by D. Pulsifer, was published in
Boston. — Ed.

Historical Societies.




HE Collector for April, a monthly Imlletin for Auto-
graph Collectors, in an article on "Lost Autographs,"
has something to say about Historical Societies. As
the article is not credited to any particular contribu-
tor it is fair to presume that the editor is the author of the
article. In referring to the loss and destruction of valuable
documents and letters he says:

"The best place for a valuable letter is in the cabinet of
an intelligent collector. He will guard it carefully, and it
will be easily available for historical purposes. Historical
societies would seem to be the proper places of deposit for
them, but in most cases this is not so. A man who would
not steal from a private owner, will pilfer without conscience
from a society. What belongs to all belongs to none. Often
the governors of such societies are men selected for their
money or social importance,and they care nothing for old let-
ters. A very great many historical societies are inert and life-
less — existing rather in name than in anything they accom-
plish. Thousands of dollars' worth of the most valuable his-
torical material passes through my hands every 3^ear. I do
not think I have ever sold five dollars' worth to a historical
society. We never hear of them bidding at auctions. We
occasionally read dull repoi'ts of their stated meetings in the
very dull Magazine of Ayncrican History. If they secure
anything and actuall}^ take care of it, there is little hope of
getting at it for historical purposes. No society is more
roundly abused for its inaccessibility than the Boston Histori-



122 MAGAZINE OF NEW ENGI.ANT) HISTORY.

cal Society. It is a dog-in-mauger business. I don't believe
that any one knows what is in the Pennsylvania Historical
Society. For this reason I should advise possessors of old
papers who do not care to keep them, to sell them at the best
price possible.* They will profit by it financially, and the
papers will })ass into the best hands possible."

We beg leave to differ with the editor of the Collector and
claim that "the best place for a valuable letter is in the
cabinet" of an Historical Society. The Society will certainly
"guard it carefully, and it will be easily available for histori-
cal purposes." During the past one hundred years, there
have been formed nearly two hundred historical societies, the
greater number of which have perpetuated their organiza-
tions. The object of these Societies has been to collect and
diffuse the materials of American history. The first society
organized was that now known as the Massachusetts Histori-
cal Society (which is the one referred to, in the Collector, as
the Boston Historical Society). This organization has been
in existence just one hundred years. The zeal of the mem-
bers in securing and preserving historical manuscripts, is
sufficiently illustrated by the fact that it has collected many
thousand volumes of manuscripts which relate to every period
since the founding of the Colonies. This Society has pub-
lished many volumes which have found their way to the
shelves of nearly every public libraiy in the United States.
The Society has therefore, not only actually taken care of
the documents and letters in their possession, but has per-
mitted the historical student in Maine and California to reap
the benefit of their collection. The Historical Societies of
New England work side by side with the Public Library.
Their doors are open to the public; every one is invited, in-
vestigators especiall3\ It is the duty of the Librarian to
assist the searcher for a single item, his duty to assist the
many who, day after day, and week after week, visit the
rooms in search of family history, and it is his duty to assist
and to make pleasant the visit of the stjanger who, from a

distant state drops in to look upon the portrait of some distin-
guished person of ancient times, or to simply inquire the age
or histor}^ of an old house.

It was, perhaps, a mistake of the editor of the Collector in
referring to the Pennsylvania Society, which has recently
been presented with a valuable collection of autographs. In
this case the "best place for a valuable letter," in the opinion
of Mr. Dreer, is in the cabinet of the Pennsylvania Histori-
cal Society.

The Collector has recently published many interesting
communications from a gentleman connected with one of our
New England Historical Societies. We were pleased to re-
print one of them. It told of the rescue of an old letter^
which is now safely guarded by the New London County
Historical Society where it can be consulted for historical
purposes. r. h. t.



The Old Town of Quincy, Mass., is rich in historical
incidents, and noted as the birthplace and residence of men
eminent in the early history of our country. Years befoi-e her
granite hills were laid open to supply materials for the foun-
dations and walls of our public edifices, she gave to the na-
tion some of the chief corner-stones in the history of our Re-
public. John Adams, the second President of the United
States, and John Hancock, the first signer of the Declara-
tion of Independence, were born and died in tliis town. It is
also the birthplace of John Quincy Adams, our sixth Presi-
dent, and of Edmund Quincy, Few towns in the State are
so rich in Revolutionary memories as this. Some of the
buildings, relics of those ancient days, are still standing, and
well worth examining, among which are the venerable houses
in which Hannah Adams and John Quincy Adams were born.



The Old Clock that was presented to the First Church
of Dedham, Mass., by Samuel Dexter, in 1783, is now exhib-
ited at the Dedham Historical Society.
