5852 BIOGRAPHY:
BRAINARD, SILAS (19 Feb. 1814-8 Apr. 1871) turned an avocation for music into a business that supplied Cleveland with much of its early musical scores and instruments. The son of a merchant, he was born in Lempster, N.H., the son of Nathan and Fanny (Bingham) Silas. He was educated at New Hampton in the same state. He came to Cleveland in 1834 with his father and started in the grocer? business as N. Brainard & Son. An accomplished flutist, the younger Brainard also became active in the city's embryonic musical circles. He joined the CLEVELAND MUSICAL SOCIETY and began arranging music for its members. In 1836 he started his own music business, which eventually became an institution under the name S. BRAINARD'S SONS. Beginning with the retailing of music and musical instruments, Brainard added a publishing business in 1845 and purchased Watson's Hall at the same time, running it as Melodeon Hall and later Brainard's Hall . A house organ which he began in l864 as Western Musical World became one of the country's leading music publications under the name Brainard's Musical World. Although once regarded as having few peers as a flutist, he apparently subordinated his performing talents to the demands of his business. He was noted as the author of a Violin Instruction Book and numerous musical arrangements, some of which appeared under an assumed name. Brainard married Emily C. Mould and had 6 children: Charles, Henry, Fanny, Emma, Annie, and Laura. He died of inflammatory rheumatism in his residence at 348 Prospect Ave., survived by at least 3 sons: Charles, George, and Henry. Brainard was buried in WOODLAND CEMETERY .

S. BRAINARD'S SONS was Cleveland's leading 19th-century musical-instrument dealer and music publisher. SILAS BRAINARD founded the company in 1836 and opened a piano store in the American House hotel on Superior Ave., selling Chickering pianos shipped from the factory in Boston. In 1845 he purchased Watson's Hall, which had been built in 1840, and renamed it Melodeon Hall. In 1860 the name was changed to Brainard's Hall (later Opera House), and in 1875 to the GLOBE THEATER . In Jan. 1864 Brainard began publishing Western Musical World, a monthly journal of articles, hints to musicians, and sheet music. In 1869 the name was changed to Brainard's Musical World. Brainard took his sons, Chas. S. and Henry M., into the business, and in 1871 the company became S. Brainard's Sons. In 1876 they built a new 4-story building on Euclid Ave. near E. 4th St. to accommodate the store and publishing house. Its interior was fitted with massive woodwork, gas light, and a steam-driven elevator. In the 1870s and 1880s, Brainard's published vocal and instrumental music, songbooks, and especially political and patriotic songs. In 1878 S. Brainard's Sons established an office in Chicago; the company left Cleveland altogether in 1889, moved to Chicago, and continued to publish Brainard's Musical World until 1895. Henry M. Brainard remained in Cleveland to operate his own store, an outlet for Steinway pianos.

There is a mistake in the Brainard-Brainerd Genealogy by Lucy Abigail Brainard regarding Stephen. On the page where he is listed as the son of Nathan, it states that he died in 1857 unmarried. On the page where it list Stephen and his children, it shows two marriages and a death year of 1869. The latter is the more accurate account.

5871 Abijah BRAINERD was born on Nov 26 1705 in Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. He died before Mar 22 1798 in Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. He had an estate probated on Apr 30 1798 in Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT In his will dated 9 February 1781, Abijah mentioned his loving wife, Thankful, and gave her one-third of his moveable estate and one-third of all of his lands, dwelling house and barn, as long as she remained his widow. At her death or remarriage, Thankful's part o, Othniel, Simon, Urijah, Shubal and Cornelius, and to the children of his deceased son, Abijah, named Abijah and Savina, who were to inherit their father's share equally. [The Barbour Collection calls Savina "Vienna."]
Son Simon Brainerd was to care for the grandchildren's shares until they reached 21 years of age. Abijah gave his son, Cornelius, the land with his house and barn. Cornelius was to pay five schillings each to Abijah's two loving granddaughters, Alidia and Abigail, "which Samuel Mack had by my daughter, Alidia, deceased."
He bequeathed the remainder of his moveable goods, other than that given to his wife, to be equally divided among his daughters, Deborah Hurlbut, Zilpah Clark, Leah Freeman, Rachel Brooks, Dorcas Higgins, Thankful Hubbard and Mary Bowers, and the children "which Capt. Daniel Brainerd had by my daughter, Esther, dec'd, whose names are Seth, Daniel and Esther" Brainerd, who were to divide their mother's share equally. He appointed his son Simon Brainerd, as his executor. Witnesses were Thomas Selden, Aaron Selden and Elias Selden.
Abijah's cattle mark was recorded in Haddam town records 28 December 1727. According to the DAR Patriot Index, Abijah, [Sr.], gave public service to the patriots during the Revolutionary War, but no proof has been found and the date of death given for him there is erroneous. He settled on Haddam Neck, and was a farmer. He was married to Thankful FULLER about 1738 in East Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. No marriage record has been found for Abijah Brainerd and Thankful Fuller. Further problems have resulted because Thankful's children were recorded in Haddam town records under her husband's name only, with someone adding, in square brackets at a later date, the name of Abijah's first wife, Esther, after the dates of three of Thankful's children, Rachel, Dorcas and Uriah. However, the baptism of Abijah Brainerd, [Jr.] the first child of Abijah and Thankful Brainerd, was performed 29 April 1739, in Haddam, by a visiting minister, the Rev. Edward Eels, but was recorded in his own church, the First Congregational Church of Cromwell, a parish in Middletown. From 1741 to 1759, ten more children, called "of Abijah and Thankful Brainerd," were baptized in the Haddam Neck Congregational Church, which had been formed from parts of Haddam and Middletown. Confirmation that these were Thankful Fuller's children, and not the children of a Thankful Williams, as has sometimes been stated, nor of Abijah's first wife, Esther, is found in a deed dated 27 June 1748, in which Thankful's brothers Ephraim and Shubael Fuller, called her "Thankful Brainerd" when they quitclaimed to Thankful and to their other sisters a parcel of land in Middletown, Conn., east of the Connecticut River, which had belonged to their father, Ensign Shubael Fuller of East Haddam. Therefore, the child Abijah Brainerd, who was baptized in the Cromwell Church, and all those born after him, were born to Thankful Fuller, daughter of Shubael and Hannah (Crocker) Fuller and were all descendants of Mayflower passengers John Howland and Edward
ck Congregational Church when their first eight children were baptized there, for church records show that it was not until 11 February 1753, that Abijah was admitted to communion with the church. His wife, Thankful, was not admitted until 29 March 1761. Church members took religion very seriously and people did not become members until they and the members of the congregation determined that they were fully qualified as pr?cticing Christians.haddam.com/tucker/daniel_brainerd.htm

Daniel BRAINERD
 
5884 BIOGRAPHY: HE DIED when still a young man. Only 29. But David Brainerd, a young Puritan who ministered to the Indians, was one of America's most influential missionaries. Though his life was brief, Brainerd's intense, passionate devotion to God affected countless Christians for many generations.

Born in 1718 to a devout Puritan family in Haddam, Connecticut, David Brainerd was orphaned at the age of 14. At twenty-one, swept up by the Great Awakening, he had a conversion experience and enrolled at Yale. Though an excellent student, Brainerd was dismissed in 1742 for criticizing one of the tutors, saying he had no more grace than a chair! Brainerd's regret over his rash statement could not secure his reinstatement. He ever afterward remained sensitive about criticism and maintaining Christian unity.

Brainerd studied with pastor Jedidiah Mills to prepare for the ministry and was soon licensed to preach. He went to work among the Indians at Kaunameek, about half way between Stockbridge, Massachusetts and Albany, New York. He diligently learned the Indian language but had little missionary success. So he moved on.

After being ordained by the Presbytery of New York, he began a new work among the Delaware Indians of Pennsylvania. Here too Brainerd saw little success in his ministry. Though often despondent because of his ineffective ministry, loneliness, and repeated illness brought on by tuberculosis, Brainerd determined to live wholly for God, whatever his outward success.

During 1745-1746, Brainerd traveled to minister to the Indians near Trenton, New Jersey and was amazed at the immediate responsiveness of the Indians to the Christian message. Over 100 Indians at a time came to him in the region. Brainerd poured out his life in ministry to these Indians, writing that he wanted "to burn out in one continual flame for God." He helped secure land for the Indians when theirs was threatened and soon constructed a church, school, carpenter's shop, and infirmary.
By the fall of 1746 Brainerd was increasingly coughing up blood. The famous theologian-pastor, Jonathan Edwards, brought him to his home in Northampton, MA. There David Brainerd spent hi?s last months, succumbing to tuberculosis on October 9, 1747.

Jonathan Edward's daughter Jerusha nursed Brainerd during his last illness, and a deep love developed between them. Edwards once overheard Brainerd tell Jerusha, "If I thought I should not see you, and be happy with you in another world, I could not bear to part with you. But we shall spend a happy eternity together." Jerusha contracted tuberculosis and died a few months after David, at the age of eighteen.

After Brainerd's death, Jonathan Edwards edited and published his diary, describing it as an example of a devotional life "most worthy of imitation." This diary was to influence many missionaries in future generations, including William Carey and Henry Martyn, who went to India and Jim Eliot, the twentieth century missionary who gave his life ministering to the Auca Indians.

Missionary Heroes
Do you know how it is possible to live a very long life in a very few years? Perhaps you have heard the secret told in these words: "He liveth long, who liveth well." The young missionary to the Indians of long ago proved this to be true by his short, heroic, useful life.
In 1718 the little village of Haddam, Connecticut, [United States] was indeed a small one, but there, in April of that year, a baby was born who grew up into the man and the missionary that all who know anything of missions today, love to think about.


When David Brainerd was only nine, his father died, and five years later the death of his mother left him a lonely orphan. For a while he became a farmer's boy, and earned his living by his work out-of-doors. Then he went to live with a good minister, who gave him a chance to study, for the boy was very anxious to go to college. To Yale he went, while still quite young, and remained three years. There were no theological seminaries then, as now, to prepare young men to be ministers, but they studied with older ministers, and were made ready to preach in this way. Young Brainerd studied with different ministers, until the year 1742. Although he was then but twenty-four, he was considered ready to preach, and was sent out upon his chosen life-work as a missionary to the Indians.
At first, the intention was to send him to the tribes in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but, because of some trouble among them there, the young missionary was sent instead to the Stockbridge Indians in Massachusetts.

Oh, but he had a hard time in the very beginning. You know, perhaps, that Solomon, the wise man, says that it is "good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth." It was certainly given to this young man to do this. No comfortable home was open to him, and he lived with a poor Scotchman, whose wife could hardly speak a word of English. Nothing better than a heap of straw laid upon some boards was provided for lodging, and as for food ? what do you think he had? We know exactly, for the missionary kept a journal, and in it he wrote ? "My diet is hasty pudding (mush), boiled corn, bread baked in the ashes, and sometimes a little meat and butter." He adds, "I live in a log house without any floor. My work is exceedingly hard and difficult. I travel on foot a mile and a half the worst of ways, almost daily, and back again, for I live so far from my Indians." He writes that the presence of God is what he wants, and he longs to "endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus." The Indians, from the first, seemed to be generally kind, and ready to listen, but, in the beginning, the work was slow.

The young missionary's heart was troubled for his poor red men, because the Dutch claimed their lands, and threatened to drive them off. They seemed to hate him because he tried to teach the Indians the Way of Life. At this time there was but a single person near with whom he could talk English. This person was a young Indian with eighteen letters in his last name, which was far enough from being "English." You may do your best at pronouncing it. It was "Wauwaumpequennaunt." Fortunately his first name was John!

The exposure and hardships of these days brought on illness from which the missionary suffered all through his brief life. He tells in his journal of spending a day in labour to get something for his horse to eat, after getting a horse, but it seems as if he had little use of it, for he was often without bread for days together, because unable to find his horse in the woods to go after it. He was so weak that he needed something besides boiled corn, but had to go or send, ten or fifteen miles, to get bread of any kind. If he got any considerable quantity at a time, it was often sour and moldy before he could eat it all.

He did not write complainingly of all this, but he did make a joyful entry one day, giving thanks to God for His great goodness, after he had been allowed to bestow in charitable uses, to supply great needs of others, a sum of over one hundred pounds New England money, in the course of fifteen months. It was truly, to him, "More blessed to give than to receive." He was thankful, he said, to be a steward to distribute what really belonged to God.

After two years' labour among the Stockbridge Indians, Mr. Brainerd went to New Jersey, his red brothers parting from him sorrowfully. The commissioners unexpectedly sent him to the Delaware Forks Indians. This meant that he must return to settle up affairs in Massachusetts and go back again to the new field. The long rides must be taken on horseback, the nights spent in the woods, wrapped in a greatcoat, and lying upon the ground. The missionary had flattering offers of pulpits in large churches where he would have had the comforts of life, but he steadfastly refused to leave his beloved Indians.
In the midst of difficulties and hardships he gladly toiled on. Traveling about as he did, he was often in peril of his life along the dangerous ways. On one trip to visit the Susquehanna Indians, the missionary's horse hung a leg over the rocks of the rough way, and fell under him. It was a narrow escape from death, but he was not hurt, though the poor horse's leg was broken, and, being thirty miles from any house, he had to kill the suffering animal and go the rest of the way on foot.

The last place of heroic service was in New Jersey, at a place called Crossweeksung. Here the missionary was gladly received, and spent two busy and fruitful years, preaching to the red men, visiting them in their wigwams, comforting and helping them in every way, being their beloved friend and counselor at all times. At last he became so weak that he could not go on. A church and school being established, the way was made easier for another.

Hoping to gain strength to return to his red brothers, David Brainerd went to New England for rest, and was received gladly into the home of Rev. Jonathan Edwards. Here he failed very rapidly, but his brave spirit was so full of joy that his face shone as with the light of heaven. He said, "My work is done." He died, October 9, 1747, at the age of twenty-nine.
He opened the way for others to serve his Indians, and his life has helped many, and has sent ot?ers into the field through all these years since the young hero was called and crowned. The story of his life influenced William Carey, Samuel Marsden and Henry Martyn to become missionaries. Through these, David Brainerd spoke to India, to New Zealand and to Persia.

David was the sixth of nine children born into the home of Hezekiah and Dorothy (Mason) Brainerd. Details of his childhood are scanty, but he grew up in a country house just above the west bank of the Connecticut River, two miles outside of Haddam. His father was a country squire, a local justice of the peace, and a Christian, as was his mother. His father died when he was nine and the death of his mother in March, 1732 brought additional great grief to 14 year old David, who was by then seeking to find what conversion was all about. From ages 15 to 19 he lived with his sister Jerusha who had just married Samuel Spencer. In April, 1738, he returned to Haddam to live and to study with the pastor of his youth, Phineas Fiske. Brainerd soon became a serious student of the Bible, and ignored the other pleasures in which most young people were participating. Fiske died in the fall, and Brainerd, like Luther, continued desperately seeking peace with God. By February, 1739, he was setting aside whole days of secret fasting and almost incessant prayer as he strove for acceptance with God.
