|
| 2056 | Both his grandfather William and his great grandfather Samuel Nutt, of Francetown, NH, served in the Revolution and his father was in the War of 1812. The father of Samuel and the first of the family in this country, was William Nutt, who was among the Scotch-Irish settlers in Londonderry, NH, in 1719. In 1852 Col. William Nutt came to Natick and learned the trade of shoemaker, and was associated intimately in business and politics with Henry Wilson, vice-president of the United States. In 1857 he took part in the struggle to keep Kansas a free state and was a squatter at Lawrence, Kansas. He cast his first vote for the Free Soil ticket and was one of the organizers of the Republican party. When the Civil War broke out, he was a member of Company C, Mechanics Rifles, Ninth Regiment, Natick, but left that organization to enlist in Company I, Second Regiment, May 15, 1861. He was made a corporal and, Aug. 11, 1861 sergeant. He was a very capable drill-master, and was detailed early in the service to instruct officers and men of the 27th Indiana Regiment. His first skirmish was Oct. 22, 1861, at Conrad's Ferry, VA. After the Battle of Ball's Bluff, in which he was engaged, he was in the hospital sick for several weeks, and when convalescent was detailed in December, 1861, to recruiting service at Springfield, Mass. He returned to his regiment in June at Martinsburg, Va., after being assigned to the 12th Mass. Regt. from April to June. His regiment lost nearly half its men and more than half its officers in a battle, Aug. 9, 1862, and from that time until March, 1863, he was acting first sergeant. At the Battle of Antietam a third of the regiment was killed or wounded. He was commissioned March 5, 1863, second lieutenant, and in May, first lieutenant, in the 54th regiment under Col. Robert G. Shaw, to whom the memorial opposite the state house was erected in later years. He was transferred to the 55th Regt. and commissioned captain. He was provost marshal of Jacksonville, Fla., in Feb. 1864; commissioned major, Nov., 1864; lieutenant colonel, June, 1865, and brevet colonel at the close of the war. He served with his regiment at the siege of Charleston. He was mustered out in September, 1865. He became a partner in the firm of Davis & Plummer, shoe manufacturers of Natick, after the war, but finding that business uncongenial, began to study law in the office of Walter N. Mason of Natick, in 1866. In February, 1868, he was appointed agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, Halifax and Lunenburg counties, Va. Here he continued to study law. He was admitted to the bar in Middlesex County August 9, 1868, and opened an office in Natick. He entered actively into public affairs and was during the rest of his life a leader in the Republican party, serving as chairman of the town committee and frequently as delegate to the state and other nominating conventions. He was elected moderator of the town in 1870 and from that time to 1896 often served in that office, for which he was well fitted. He was collector of taxes in 1869, 1870 and 1871; representative to the general court in 1871 and 1872, serving on the committee on labor in 1871 and on probate and insolvency and on woman suffrage in 1872. He was chairman of the board of selectmen in 1874, 1876 and 1881; member of the board of health in 1874; overseer of the poor three y ears; member of the school committee in 1873; on many important town committees; deputy sheriff from 1877 to 1886 inclusive; trial justice of t he Natick court 1886 to 1892. He was elected state senator by a vote of 7,328 to 4,204, in a district that had elected a Democrat to year previous. He served on the committee on constitutional amendments, military affairs and was chairman of the committee on taxation. He was also on the recess committee which revised the public statutes. He was just of the peace from 1867 and notary public from 1874 until the end of his life. Colonel Nutt made a specialty of probate practice and settled many large estates. He did much of the pension business in this section. In later years most of his practice was as attorney of the Natick Five Cents Savings Bank. He was on its investing board from May 1, 1909, when he resigned on account of ill health. He was a live member of Meridian Lodge, Free Masons; member of the Grand Army and Union Veterans Union; former president of the Officer's Association of the Fifty-fifth Regiment and also of the Second Regt.; member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion and of the Vermont Association of Boston. he was active in all kinds of temperance work and on t he day Fort Sumter was bombarded was elected R.S. of Neal Dow division, Sons of Temperance. He was an able public speaker and frequently heard in Natick. He was on the legislative committee that attended the dedication of the monument to Union soldiers who died in the rebel prison at Andersonville. He commanded the survivors of the 54th and 55th regiments at the dedications of the Shaw memorial, Boston. | NUTT, Col. William (I17319)
|
| 2057 | Both William Puffer Gransbury and his brother, Stephen Henry Gransbury joined the union forces together. Both were in battles in Chancellorsville, Spottsylvania, and Wilderness areas. (Chancellorsville was where Thomas Stonewall Jackson was accidentally killed by his own men. There is a monument erected where he was shot while still on his horse). It appears that William was indeed taken prisoner in Chancellorsville and sent to Richmond where he was paroled shortly thereafter. He rejoined his brother (Stephen Henry) in Petersburg. In Petersburg, Stephen was shot in the foot while on picket duty. Those were the guys loosely stationed away from the encampment at night to guard the camp, a very dangerous assignment. Petersburg involved that long siege that lasted about 10 months towards the end of the war. Stephen survived that wound and was discharged in 1865. William was not so fortunate. He was shot and killed in Petersburg and was buried somewhere near the battlefield there. Both were in the NY 101st infantry.

He came home and had wounds and malaria. Mary got a "dear john " letter from her sweetheart (Ralph DiSimone), they had planned on getting married. Buddy was there to console her. He called her up to go roller skating and said that he and Joe Pino will pick her up (from Winchester Street). So they went roller skating in E. Providence. She made it miserable for him. Left him at the gate to the house. Sometime later he called her and took her to the movies (Saratoga Trunk starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman) at the Majestic in downtown Providence. He called her more and more; they saw more movies; and he visited frequently at the French house. They courted over a year.

| 2151 | Civil War soldier, 32nd Mass. Inf., killed while climbing a wall at Gettysburg, PA. Pvt J Puffer was buried in an orchard, in front of a field hospital at York Pike. His remains should have been re-interred at Gettysburg National Cemetery. When he was killed his sister's husband, Daniel Curtis Miles, traveled to Gettysburg and recovered the body. Daniel dug the grave himself and had the body placed in a box and loaded in a freight car. The box served as Daniel's bed at night. James was laid to rest in his hometown of Westminster, MA. | PUFFER, Pvt. James Edward (I34516)

Mustered Out Company K, 17th Infantry Regiment Vermont on 14 Jul 1865 at Washington, DC. Whether he is the son of this Samuel and Nancy Rogers is subject to scrutiny. The birthplaces of his parents, as listed on his VT death records, doesn't match the know birthplaces. And according to the same record, his mother's maiden name was "Carpenter". His death records from VT show his middle name as "Goff." I believe it stands for Geoffrey. | ROGERS, Alvin Geoffrey (I22147)

| 2165 | Civil War soldier, Private, with Co. C, 1st Artillery Black River Artillery Btn. Then he served as a Private in Co. M, the 10th Artillery. He, most likely, took part in the Battle of Petersburg, VA, for it was there he was mustered out, on the 23rd of Jun, 1865. Daniel is put here as he is the only Daniel Puffer that fits approx. birth date. His military record shows someone named "Pamelia" associated with him. This too points to his being son to Daniel Turner Puffer and "Pamela". Although records sometimes show the name to be "Pamelia", the gravestone I uncovered clearly shows "Pamela". DMC 2-18-16 Originally I thought the "Pamelia" associated with him was a person, but it is actually the town he was from in Jefferson County, NY (upstate). This fact puts in doubt my previous comments about his family. However I am going to leave him here and do some further research. DMC 8-27-19 Further research suggests he is the son of Asa and Eliza Beebe Puffer, as he is shown with them in 1850 Federal Census and also the NY State Census of 1855 (D. Puffer).

| 2178 | Civil War veteran Newton Timothy Hartshorn enlisted in the New Hampshire National Guard shortly after the beginning of hostilities. In October, 1861 he enlisted in the regular army, joining the U.S. Engineer Corps. Advancing from private to corporal in October, 1862 he saw extensive service and was engaged in the construction of pontoon bridges and fortifications. In April, 1864 he was commissioned Captain of Company C. War Department Rifles and was assigned to duty at the White House, guarding president Lincoln. During the war he kept a diary in which he made many sketches. His artistic ability was demonstrated during a trip home when he painted a portrait of the girl he would soon marry, Hannah Maria Barker. He refused an offer of promotion and began a career as a portrait artist. An attempt at living in the wild was short lived after buying and selling land in Minnesota, property that would later be bought by The Pillsbury Flour Co. His greatest achievement was the charcoal sketch he did of Ulysses S. Grant. The remarkable sketch together with a letter of introduction from the president served him well. He painted the portraits of many prominent individuals, both in America and in Europe, during his two trips there. During one of these trips, he stayed in the Hartshorn House in Hartshorn, Derbyshire. In was in this house that Sir Walter Scott wrote the book, Ivanhoe. He reflected on the origins of the Hartshorn family and did a brief genealogical study. Many of the portraits that he painted presently hang in libraries and museums in New England. Several are on display at the Baker Library at Dartmouth College. Some of his commissions were paid for with merchandise in kind. One such painting made of the president of the International Silver Company was paid for with a complete silver service. A serving pitcher from this service is presently in the possession of this compiler, as well as letters of commendation, including one signed by President Ulysses S. Grant. Newton Hartshorn was satisfied to live off the laurels of his artist's reputation and did little else to sustain himself or his family in his later years. He became a gentleman farmer, retiring to Sandisfield, in the foothills of western Massachusetts. During the autumn harvest, he could be seen with a horse-drawn wagon, taking a load of home-grown apples to market in Boston, a distance of over 125 miles. He suffered from stomach cancer and spent his remaining months with daughter, Caroline, in Springfield where he died at the age of 80. | HARTSHORN, Newton Timothy (I39055)
