PREFACE.

As the resul t of a long and tedious research,this genealogy

of the Dimond or Dimon Family,of Fairfield

,Connect icu t

,is

presented to the numerou s descendan t s and o thers in teres ted

in the l ives of the pioneers of New Engl and .

Bu t l ittle is known of the hi story of the fi rst Thomas Dimond,

and h is ancestry is a matter of conj ec ture ; although i t is to be

hoped that in the fu ture the fact s wil l be discovered by which

h is l ineage may be traced to his nat ive land,and also furni sh

the l inks that w i l l connect his family with o thers of the same

or similar names who were con temporaneous neighbors and who

were probably akin .

E rrors have been carefully guarded against, and an authority

has been found for all statemen ts in which accuracy is desi rable .

To the many relat ives and friends,who have so kindly devo ted

the ir t ime and atten t ion to the furtherance of this work , are due

Bap t i zed Aug . 2 3 , 1 742 . (F . T . Rec . )The following sketch of David Dimon i s taken from Brie f

Memorial s of Ancestry and Kindred,

” by Arthur D imon Osborn .

“ David Dimon was commissioned Captain of the 4th Company

in the 5 th Regiment, when the six Connecticu t regiments wereorgani zed in 1 7 75 , by Act of the General Assembly, for service in

the revolu tionary war. He was promoted to be L i eutenan tColonel

,and on the death of the Colonel took command of th e

regiment,and died in the service . ”

The following narrative was p repared by hi s son,Ebenezer

Dimon,January 1 3 , 1841

Col . David Dimon of Fairfield,commenced his Revolu t ionary

services in 1 7 74, by assi s ting in organi z ing and preparing h is

fel low-ci tizen s in the town for that event . In the early part of

1 7 7 5 he j oined a corp s of volun teers which took possess ion of aquanti ty of the King ’s mili tary stores in New York.

The States of Connecticu t and New York having de termined

on raising forces for the invasion of Canada,my father received a

commission of Captain in the corps rai sed for that obj ect . I was

wi th him from May t i l l the end of August in their company nearthe ci ty of New York and did the du ty of waiter to h im and of

fugleman to the company,t il l th e company broke up and the

t roops proceeded under the order of General Mon tgomery on theCanadian expedi tion .

“When the si ege of S t . Johns commenced my father was promoted to the rank of Brigade Maj or and became one of GeneralMontgomory

’

s staff . He assi sted in taking Fort Chambly. A partof the select corps was led by Maj or Brown and the o ther part byhim . At the surrender of S t . Johns he was appointed to take possess ion of the Fort and receive the submission of the garrison . He

continued with Montgomery unti l he took possess ion of Mon treal,

at which time circumstances requ ired him to return to Connect icu t .In the campaign of 1 7 7 6 he was promoted to the rank of Maj or in


one of th e Connect icu t regimen ts raised for the defen se of NewYork

,and I was wi th him during the whole o f thi s discouraging

campaign . In the W in te r of that year Congress passed an order

for raising the regular army,and he was again promoted to th e

rank o f L i eu tenan t-Colonel in on e of the Connec t icu t regimen t s.

The chief Colonel (Douglas) soon after hi s appoin tment was takensick and died and the duty of recrui ting and preparing the regi

ment fo r actual service devolved on my father.“ While thi s was in progress a detachmen t of the B riti sh army

,

under General Tryon,landed on the wes t side of thi s town on

their expedi tion to destroy a large quanti ty of mi l i tary s tores a tDanbury. As soon as the alarm had reach ed us here my fathe r

assembled and put in motion such o f the new recru i t s as had been

enlisted in th is part o f the S tate to harass the Bri t i sh on thei r

march . In the batt le o f Ridgefie ld which took place in the sameexpedi tion , he ac ted under the immediate o rders of General

Arnold . Directly after this even t the regimen t was fi l led up and

prepared for actual service and was posted on the l ine betweenthi s S tate and New York . The dut ies at thi s post became veryarduous

,requi ring cons tant vigi lance and change o f posi t ion to

prevent surprise by the numerous forces of the Bri t i sh then inNew York . In a night movement in September the regimen t became drenched in rain during nearly the whole n igh t

,and my

father,the nex t day

,was seized with a bil iou s fever

,which proved

fatal in the th irty-sixth year of hi s age . A t th i s t ime I was againwith him . Abou t two years after th i s the house which he l eft wasburn t by a detachmen t of the Bri ti sh army

,in the general confla

gration of th i s V i l lage . This lo ss reduced hi s family nearly to a

state of indigence severely fel t for ten years after.”

“ Colonel s Cook and Dimon wi th a small force of mil i t ia at

t empted to defend Danbury against the Bri t ish (April 2 6 th ,bu t their force being too smal l they retreated to the American s a tBethel . ”


And in vol . I,page 40 8

Col . David D imon,one of Wooster ’s subordinate officers was

a native of Fairfield and was a brave and u seful soldier . He was

one of the volun teers who captured Bri ti sh s tores at Turtl e Bay ,N . Y.

,and one of Montgomery ’s s taff in the expedi tion to Canada

in 1 7 75 .

“ He was active in the capture of S t . Johns on the Sorel and

Fort Chambly,after wh ich he returned to Connecticu t on public

bu siness,and was no t with the army in i ts defeat at "uebec.

Colonel D imon continued in act ive service unti l after Tryon ’

pedition to Danbury .

He had the command of the barricades in Ridgefield and pursued the Bri ti sh to Compo A fever produced by expo sure in the

Bap t i z ed June 4, 1 80 4. (F . Par. Rec . ) Restored th e final d

to the name . He attended the academy at Fairfield,where he

prepared himself for Yale College . Upon the death of hi s father

after having been bu rned ou t in an en terprise he had undertakenin the Sou th — he wen t to New York city

,where he was appren

t iced to a S i l versmith, who did every thing in h is power to preven t

Isaac from learning the trade,being j ealou s of h i s (I saac

’s) uncleI saac Marquand

’

s influence . Mr . Marquand at that time con

t rol led the larges t retai l j ewelry trade in the ci ty.

Having fini shed hi s appren ticeship wi thou t any part icularknowledge of th e bu sin ess

,owing to the peculi ar si tuation in

which he had been placed,I saac made arrangements to remain

one year as a j ourneyman, w i th wages and the privi lege o f u sing

the tool s after the day ’ s work was done and gathering the dus t

from the floors of the work - rooms,from which he procured enough

si lve r to comple te a se t o f spoon s for his mother.

At the end of the year he had in bank and,what was

more, a knowledge of hi s t rade .

He succeeded in obtaining bet ter terms from hi s employer for

the nex t two years,during which time

,by stric t economy and the

proceeds from the inven t ion o f some labor- saving mach inery

the fi rs t u sed in th e S i lver t rade he had saved enough to lease

SEVENTH GENERATION . 59

the establi shmen t for a year, and at the end of that t ime he bough ti t ou trigh t and hired his old employer as a workman .

His success as a manufac tu ring j eweler and S i lversmith was

phenomenal. After some y ears he ret i red from act ive busines sand transferred hi s capital into real estate

,and was then consid

ered one of the weal thies t men in the c i ty .

Bu t,unfortunately

,having indorsed largely for some young

men who speculated in real estate,and to save himsel f from thei r

large obligat ions,during the financial cri si s of 1 840 and 184 1 , he

took advan tage of the Bankrup t Act,and gave up all he possessed .

The following i s from one of the New York papers of that t ime .

U NITED STATES D ISTR ICT COURT .— In Bankrup tcy .

— Before

Judge Bet ts .

I saac M . Dimond, among the many and bit ter reverses of

fortune,exhibited by the applicat ion s in the Bankrup t court , none

s tands more conspicuous than that of thi s gentleman . A silver

smith by profession,he rose

,by his own energies , to be mas ter,

some ten or twelve years since,of what was supposed to be an

almost princely fortune,the whole of which has been los t in the

s torm that has wrecked so many of our most energet ic,though

,

perhaps,in many instances

,too adven turo us ci t iz ens .

“ Mr. Dimond commenced,a long time previous to the specu

lat ing mania,successful operat ion s in real estate he erected the

immense p ile of build ings which stand on L i t t le Green street,in

a part of which were h is own works — he also purchased the

Thorburne estate,in L iberty stree t — (hi s bonds and mortgages

for which , in the sum of to Grant Thorburne and Geo .

C . Thorbu rne,form a part of his schedule) and other bu ild ings

in the stree t and V icin i ty,and erected nearly

,i f not qui te

,all the

s tores on th e northerly side of L iberty street,from Nassau stree t

to Broadway , thus employing a vast number of men . He also

ope rated successfully in o ther par ts of the ci ty,and

,al though st il l

qui te a young man,his futu re prospects seemed brill ian t and un

clouded .

“ But what was obj ect of st il l stronger att raction in the character


of Mr. Dimond,was h is proverb ial chari ty in relat i on to the poor,

and h is ever open hand and heart in the cause of rel igion and benevolence — none contribu ted

,compared wi th h is means

,more

l iberally than he did to the many enterpri ses having for their

obj ec t the improvemen t in condi tion and the happiness of h is

fellow beings — the Bible Socie ty,th e missionary inst itu t ion s , the

Temperance cau se , and such found in h im ,not only in word bu t

in deed,a most ac t ive supporter. The subj ec t of f ree churches

early occupi ed a portion of h is at ten tion,and to h im we owe the

celebrated edifice known as th e Broadway Tabernacle,he having

in connect ion with a gen t leman named Greene,proj ected and

built i t. No twith standing,howeve r

,th at i t was an ornamen t and

great source of benefi t to our ci ty,he los t an immense sum of

money in its erec tion and support,and was finally obliged to dis

pose of i t .“ Mr. Dimond

,however

,has lo s t all

,and the mind cannot bu t

deeply regre t that one so apparently deserving should have been

borne upon so heavily by the calamit ies wh ich have vi s ited theact ive business portion of the land . We have extended th is remarkfurther than we had in tended to do

,but the case of Mr. D . is one

so replete with consideration s as to ‘ the events of the t imes,that

we though t i t worthy of a passing not ice .

’

His wild lands in Michigan were then though t to be of litttlevalue and were given back to him . I t was there that he movedafter hi s financial embarrassmen t and sett l ed down in mercantilebusiness in Jackson

,Mich . He spen t a large port ion of h is t ime

and energy for the next twelve years in developing the town ofDimondale (named for him) in Eaton coun ty, Mich igan , wherehe owned much land . After ge t t ing a flour and saw-mill and

many o ther improvements under way, he and h is wife re tu rned toBrooklyn to l ive. Two years l ater he died of a congestive ch il l ,after an illness of two days .

Some of his property in New York has since become very valnable One lot on Wall stree t that he gave up for was

afterward sold for more than one million dollars .

He owned that t ime what is now the best part of Murray Hill

in New York ci ty. His mot to was to‘ do righ t ’ even i f i t

brought disaster to h im and his .“As requested by him, he was buried at Fairfield by the side

of his mother .

They arrived the next year,1 80 7 .

After the family were sett led in their new home,Will iam started

when i t burned down the second time he ceased the business of

manufac turing. This,however

,was no t thei r only means of subsi st

ence . He was al so engaged on two con tract s for excavating theE ri e canal

He was the son of Asahel New ton,born in Colchester
