It would be interesting—and important-—to
know the thoughts of President Coolidge at the
monument, for he has long been a close student
of his country’s history. Moreover, his American
ancestry goes back to the beginning of things In
New England and his first American ancestors lie
close by, in the old burial ground of Watertown.
These ancestors were Puritans, not Pligrims.
John Coolidge (1004-1601), the first of the Ameri.
can line, arrived among the first of the Puritans
in 1630, with his wife Mary and one child. His
son Simon (1632-1008) was the first American-born
Coolidge.
Every good American should know the difference
between the Pligrims (1620) and the Puritans
(1630). The Pligrims—“Separatists”—withdrew
from the established church of England in order
to have the right to choose thelr own ministers,
then appointed by bishops. They held church and
state to be separate; several Influential members
of the Plymouth colony were not church members,
They were not concerned about the religion of
others; they asked only religious freedom for
themselves. They were largely simple country
folk. They were without capital. They practically
sold themselves to hard labor for seven years to
get to the New World,
The Puritans did not separate from the estab.
lished church, They undertook to make formal
changes to sult themselves. They held church and
state to be one; only church members bad the
rights of freemen and the power to vote. All
other creeds were anathema. The Puritans of
1030 under Gov. John Winthrop Included many of
the English gentry and came In a fleet of ten
ships to Massachusetts bay, with goods and live
stock valued ag one million dollars,
We may know In general the thought of Presi
dent Coolidge regarding the Pligrims. As governor
of Massachusetts he delivered an address at the
Tercentenary Celebration at Plymouth, saying In
part:
There was among them small trace of the vani.
tiss of life. They came undecked with orders of
noblilty. They were not the children of fortune
but of tribulation. Persecution, not preferences,
brought them hither. But It was a persecution
In which they found a stern satisfaction. They

Puritans at Watertown had a Thanksgiving Day
celebration In 1684. The famous Cotton Mather, In
his “Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, The Eccles!
astical History of New-England” has a chapter on
the life of the Rev. John Sherman (1613-85),

S80 much was religion the first
first come into this country, that
offerod up their praises unto Him that “inhabits
the praises of Israel” before they had provided
habitations wherein to offer those praises. A Day
of Thanksgiving was now kept by the Christians
of a new, here onlled Water-town, under a tree:
on which Thanksgiving Mr, Sherman preached his
first sermon, as an assistant unto Mr. Philips
there being present many othér divines, who won-
dered exceedingly to hear a subject so socurately
and excellently handled by one that had never
before performed any such public exercise.
Cotton Mather, it will be noted, makes no men-
tion of a Thanksgiving feast following the “public
exercises” “under a tree.” It is to be hoped that
the famous divine was a bit forgetful-—otherwise
the Puritans of Watertown must have been
obliged to be satisfied with “a feast of reason and
a flow of soul” Incidentally it is Interesting to
note that in all human probability President
Coolidge’'s great-great-great-great-great-great-great
grandfather was one of the congregation that lis
tened to that Thanksgiving sermon,
The first national observance of Thanksgiving
Day took place 100 years after the first celebra-
tion at Plymouth. It Ix generally stated that the
first national observance was November 28, 1780,
in accordance with a proclamation by President
Washington. That, however, is an historical error.
In the proceedings of the Second Continental
Congress It Is recorded that September 18, 1781,
“on motion of Mr. Sherman, seconded hy John
Witherspoon of New Jersey, it was resolved that
Thursday, December 31, 1781, be ‘appointed as a
Day of Publle Thanksgiving throughout the
United States and that a committee be appointed
to prepare dnd report a proclamation suitable to
the odeasion.’” The committee appointed con.
sisted of Mr. Sherman, Mr. Witherspoon, Joseph
Montgomery and James Mitchell Varnum. The
proclamation, reported October 28, 1781, recites,
among other things, that the year is one In which
“the confederation of the United States has been
completed” and “in which, after the success of
our allies by sea, n General of First Rank, with his
whole army, has been captured by the allled
forces under the direction of our Commander in
Chief."
In the first session of the first congress, organized
April 8. 1780, we find Mr. Sherman one of a com
mittens of three to request President Washington
“to recommend to the people a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by
acknowledging with grateful hearts the many
signal favors of Almighty God, especially by
affording an opportunity peaceably to establish
n Constitution of Government for their safety and
happiness,” It was In accordance with this request
that President Washington by proclamation set
apart November 20, 1780, as a day of public
thankagiving.

Howland Descendants of America. John Howland
was that “lustie younge man” of whom Gov. Wil
liam Bradford writes, in his “History of the
“moth Plantation™:

(ealled John Howland) coming upon some occasion
above the grattings., was, with a seele—roll-—of
the shipe thrown into the sea; but it pleased God
that he caught hould of the top salle haliliards,
which hunge overboard, .and rane out at length;
yet he held his hould (though be was suiiirle

same rope to the brime of the water, and then
with a boathooke and other means got inte the
shipe againe, and his life saved; and though he
was something {11 with It, yet he lived many years
after, and became a profitable member both In
church and commonwealithe.
This "lustie younge man,” thus miraculously
saved, married Elizabeth Tiille, who was on the
Mayflower, and thelr descendants are many In the
land. Moreover, tradition has It that John How-
land wos the last of the Mayflower passengers to
