Hetty Green ”A hundred years ago she was often
called "the pride and pain" of
Rev. Alonzo Webster
-- Rev. Alonzo Webster was born in Weston
VT 27 Jan 1818 and lived for a short
time in Saxtons River. He was a
minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He married first to
Martha Jane [Weed?] on 26 May 1840. She died 6 Nov 1842, age 21 and is
buried in the Saxtons River Cemetery. He then married Laura Peasley on 16
Jun 1844 and they had several children. He served in several Methodist
Episcopal churches in VT. He lived in Northfield VT in 1846 and appears in census record for Danville VT
in 1850. He was the first pastor of the M.E. church which was built in
St.
Johnsbury in 1856 and was on the 1860 census of Hartford VT. He served
as a chaplain
in the Civil War and afterwards moved to South Carolina to do missionary
work among the free slaves. Laura and Alonzo are found on the 1880 census
of Orangeburg, SC. He is credited as one of the founders of
Claflin University
in Orangeburg. "Zion," the Methodist newspaper of that time, published
letters from Rev. Webster regarding his work in South Carolina. One of his
sons, Dan
Webster, served as a physician in the Civil War and in later years was
postmaster of Brattleboro VT. (Thanks to research of Constance Lancaster).
