Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of James Russell Trumbull, Historian of Northampton, Massachusetts On the lt of December, 1825, an only son was born in Haydenville, Massachusetts, to Guy and Clarissa (nash) Trum bull. This New England boy was the eighth generation in an unbroken line of New England ancestors, which can be traced back on both Sides to the first half of the 17th century. William Nash, the progenitor of his race in this country, came from England to Boston in 1637 and the following year joined a party who sailed around to the coast of: Connecticut and made a new settlement, then called Quinipiac, now New Haven. His son Timothy moved with his family to Hadley, Mass, the next generation settled in Hatfield and the following one went to Williamsburg, where a permanent home was established on Nash Hill. One of this line of Nashes, Thomas by name, married Martha Smith, daughter of Canada Wait, SO named because She was born while her mother, the wife of Benjamin Wait of Hat field, was a captive of the Indians in Canada. The great grand daughter Of Thomas and Martha (smith) Nash was Clarissa, who was born and brought up in Williamsburg and became the wife of Guy Trumbull. She was a woman Of sterling qualities, very skillful in everything pertaining to the household, a beautiful sewer and an indefatigable worker. But her own efficiency caused her to be somewhat stern and exacting in the bringing up of her children. The rules She laid down for them made small allowance of time for rest or play. Don't Sit still! She would say, If you are tired, lay down what you are doing and take up some other work. That will rest you. Early widowed, She made a brave fight to support her three children, and lived to see them all grown up. She died at the age of 80 years.
