this taken in connection with

Morey's engine was afterwards
put into a small boat on Echo
Lake, now Lake Morey, Fairlee,

of the boat. Samuel Morey was
a man of wonderful originality
and inventive genius, not a mere
visionary experimentor but a
practical philosopher. He was
man of magnificent physique,
tall, broad-shouldered, and mus
cular, with a Websterian brow
which wore the "pale cast of
thought. He was we'll ground
ed in scientific principles, and cor
responded extensively with the
advanced thinkers of his time.
In the first volume of Prof. Still
mans Journal on Science and Art
there is an article describing and
commencing Morey's apparatus
for producing heat and light from
tar and rosin, and the steam of
water. 1t says, "The inventor
not unskil1ed in chemistry, and
aware of the attraction of oxygen
for carbon, conceived it practic-
able to convert the constituents
of water, into fuel, by means of
this affinity"

SAMUEL MOREY.
That Capt. Samuel Morey was
the inventor of the steamboat,
there is concurrent and indisput-
able evidence. His first patent
bears date 1875, and was a patent
issued for improvement in the
steam engine, but in which he
proposed to apply the power to
propel boats of any size. This
was two or three years after he
had moved his boat by steam up
the Connecticut river. Other
patents for the application of
steam were issued to him, one in
1890, another in 1900. The orig
inal patent of 1875 is in posses

versations with ChancellorLivingsto
and Fulton on the subject. The Chan
ce1lor once visited me at this place and
at his request and expense, l went
once to see him at Claremont. l never
had any doubt but that l had a right
to take out a patent for the application
of two wheels to a steamboat, and
have often told both Mr.. Livingstone
and Mr.. Fulton that l had. To the
latter 1 once asserted this right on
board his steamer with him, nor could
Lever see the propriety or justice of
Chancellor Livingstone having an ex-
elusive right to steamboats, in the state
of New York, merely on account of the
suspension of the efforts of Fitch &
Co., when it was perfectly familiar to
him that at much labor and expense
and the employment of years devoted
to the pursuit. l had actually succeed

this mode of navigation into effect, but
pecuniary means; especially when it is
con sidered that actually held patents

EARLY SETTLERS.
In the limits of a newspaper
sketch we can only refer to a few
of the many worthy families that
contributed to the development of
the town. Of Gen. Israel Morey
and his two oldest SONS, Major
Israel and Capt Samuel Morey,
we speak elsewhere. Hon. Moul-
ton Morey, the third son, was a
graduate of Dartmouth, lawyer,
assistant judge, member of the
Legislature and justice of the SUI
preme court.
Capt. Samuel Smith came to
town about 1870, and eight years
later was commissioned by Gov.
Chittenden, Captain of the first
organized militia company. In
1871, he was elected town clerk
and held the Office forty-five years
in succession, being succeeded by
his son, Capt. Grant Smith, a
volunteer OF 1912, and the father
of Myron w. Smith, a highly es-
teemed citizen of the town. 9th
