PREFACE 


This  book  represents  the  genealogical  gleanings  of  thirty 
years.  The  first  steps  were  made  by  Edwin  Lamson,  of 
Summit,  N.  J.,  in  1888,  and  the  collection  of  further  data 
was  later  taken  up  by  the  author  and  compiler,  who  has  worked 
at  it  ever  since  with  varying  degrees  of  genealogical  enthusiasm 
and  intensity.  The  demands  of  a  busy  professional  life  have 
retarded  the  work  to  a  large  extent.  Much  help  has  been 
given  to  him  by  Miss  Flora  M.  Lamson,  of  Cottage  City,  Mass., 
who  died  in  1916,  and  by  Albert  H.  Lamson,  of  Elkins,  N.  H. 

The  author  begs  to  apologize  in  advance  for  any  errors  or 
inaccuracies,  which  may  appear  in  the  book.  The  difficulties 
in  the  way  of  gathering  accurate  statistics  are  very  great.  Not 
only  do  the  Town  Records  and  Vital  Statistics  at  times  show 
conflicting  data,  but  personal  letters,  abstracts  from  old  docu- 
ments, family  bibles,  deeds,  etc.,  from  which  a  work  like  this 
is  largely  made  up,  present  a  surprising  variation  in  their 
statistical  information.  Then,  too,  awkward  gaps  occur  in 
certain  lines  of  descent,  which  must  be  bridged  by  painstaking 
analysis  of  the  facts  available,  and  the  most  logical  inferences 
and  hypotheses  have  been  selected  as  the  probably  correct 
solution  of  the  problem. 

The  difficulties  above  mentioned  and  an  unwillingness  to 
record  on  the  printed  page  any  possible  inaccuracies  which 
might  impair  the  value  of  a  genealogical  work,  have  led  to  a 
diffidence  in  having  this  work  published.  But  there  is  so 
much  that  is  of  interest  to  William  Lamson's  descendants,  and 
the  author  has  been  requested  so  many  times,  by  so  many 
people,  to  have  the  results  of  his  investigations  published, 
that  he  offers  this  book  as  a  record  of  his  gleanings. 


INTRODUCTORY 


The  earliest  mention  in  this  country  of  the  name  of  Lam- 
son —variously  spelled  LAMPSON,  LAMPSONNE,  LAMB- 
SON  or  LAM  SON, — occurs  in  the  vicinity  of  Boston,  Mass., 
and  New  Haven,  Conn.,  and  the  three  men  who  are  the  ancestors 
of  the  vast  majority  of  those  who  bear  that  name  were: 

1.  WILLIAM  LAMSON,  of  Ipswich,  Mass. 

2.  BARNABAS  LAMSON,  of  Cambridge,  Mass. 

3.  THOMAS  LAMSON,  of  New  Haven,  Conn. 

1.  William  Lamson  is  said  to  have  come  over  from  Eng- 
land about  1634,  and  first  appears  on  a  list  of  Freemen  at  Ipswich, 
May  17,  1637. 

2.  Barnabas  Lamson  came  over  from  Harwich,  England, 
in  the  ship  Defence  on  the  loth  of  August,  1635,  in  company  with 
Rev.  Thomas  Shepard.  From  researches  made  in  England  it 
has  been  found  that  in  the  Ridgewell,  Essex  Co.,  Register,  1562- 
1700,  the  baptisms  of  two  of  his  children  are  recorded,  viz. : 

"163 1,  Barnabas  Lampsonne  filius  Barnabe  Lampsonne  et 
( )  uxoris  ejus  baptizatus  22  Novembris. 

"1633/4,  Martha  Lambson  daughter  of  Barnabas  Lambson 
and  Marie  his  wife  baptized  13  January." 

Barnabas  settled  at  Newtowne,  now  Cambridge,  Mass.,  arriv- 
ing there  about  the  time  that  the  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker  left  there 
to  settle  a  large  portion  of  his  congregation  at  Hartford,  Conn. 
In  1636  he  received  a  grant  of  land  on  the  south  side  of  the 
Charles  River,  consisting  of  six  acres,  in  lots  given  out  by  the 
town;  and  he  was  a  Selectman  of  Cambridge  in  1636. 

In  May,  1634,  the  people  of  Newtown,  meditating  removal, 
"sent  men  to  Agawam  (this  name  was  changed  to  Ipswich  in 
August,  1634),  and  Merrimack,  and  gave  out  that  they  would

move,"  but  they  emigrated  to  Connecticut,  so  that  there  was 
probably  some  social  connection  between  Ipswich,  Cambridge  and 
New  Haven  in  those  early  days,  and  the  first  settlers  perhaps 
radiated  out  along  these  lines. 

3  Thomas  Lamson  appears  for  the  first  time  in  New 
Haven  Conn.,  about  1639,  when  his  name  is  on  a  list  contammg 
all  the  "Freemen  of  the  Courts  of  New  Haven."  Where  he  came 
from  originally,  or  whether  he  located  elsewhere  previously, 
before  going  to  New  Haven,  is  not  known. 

It  seems  fair  to  presume,  in  view  of  the  above  facts,  that 
William  Barnabas  and  Thomas  Lamson  might  have  been  the  tra- 
ditional "three  emigrant  brothers,"  or  at  least  closely  related  to 
each  other,— that  they  came  from  the  County  of  Essex  m  Eng- 
land about  1634  or  1635,  and  that  they  settled  as  their  fancy  or 
the  exi-encies  of  their  position  demanded,  or  their  religious  con- 
nections  led   them,   in    Ipswich,    Cambridge   and    New    Haven, 

respectively.  . 

A  partial  list  of  the  descendants  of  Barnabas  Lamson  ot 
Cambridge  has  been  published  by  Mr.  Frank  B.  Lamson,  of 
Buffalo,  Minn.,  1908,  in  a  Meuwrial  of  Elder  Ehenezcr  Lamson, 
of  Concord,  Mass.  The  following  pages  are  devoted  to  the 
descendants  of  William  Lamson,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.

IPSWICH,   MASS. 


As  William  Lamson  selected  Ipswich  for  his  home,  and  as 
it  has  numbered  citizens  by  the  name  of  Lamson  from  1637  to 
the  present  time,  it  may  be  interesting  before  proceeding  to  the 
strictly  genealogical  part  of  this  work,  to  obtain  a  general  idea 
of  the  early  conditions  in  that  town,  and  to  familiarize  ourselves 
with  the  daily  life  of  these  first  Colonial  settlers.  The  character 
of  our  New  England  ancestors  was  formed  by  years  of  struggling 
against  adverse  conditions.  A  new  country  was  to  be  developed, 
land  cleared,  houses  built  and  furnished,  while  the  dreaded 
Indian  foe  lurked  ever  ready  to  destroy  life  and  property. 

For  a  most  interesting  description  of  the  early  Ipswich  days 
the  reader  is  referred  to  Ipswich  in  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Col- 
ony, i6j^-iyoo,  by  Thomas  Franklin  Waters,  President  of  the 
Ipswich  Historical  Society,  to  which  the  writer  is  indebted  for 
much  of  the  following  description. 

The  Indian  name  of  the  village  was  Agawam,  and  it  was 
early  famed  for  its  fertile  land  and  rich  fisheries.  In  order  to 
secure  this  valuable  tract  of  land  the  Governor  and  Council  of 
the  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony  sent  an  expedition  thither,  in 
March,  1633,  led  by  John  Winthrop,  son  of  the  Governor,  with 
twelve  men  of  good  rank  and  quality,  who,  during  the  summer, 
built  themselves  comfortable  homes  and  raised  crops  sufficient  to 
carry  them  through  the  following  winter.  There  was  a  steady 
growth  in  the  population,  and  on  Aug.  4,  1634,  the  Court  of 
Assistants  decided  that  the  place  should  be  called  Ipswich,  after 
old  Ipswich  in  England,  "in  acknowledgment  of  the  great  honor 
and  kindness  done  to  our  people  who  took  shipping  there." 
Ipswich,  England,  is  in  Suffolk  County,  and  only  a  few  miles 
from  Harwich,  from  which  point  Barnabas  Lamson  emigrated  to 
this  country. 

The  early  location  of  a  mill  for  their  food  supply,  a  meeting- 
house for  their  spiritual  nurture  and  a  burying-ground  for  their 
dead  was  imperative,  and  around  these  centres  the  crude  homes 


12  I  PSW  I  C  H,      M  ASS  . 

of  the  settlers  naturally  grouped  themselves.  Roads  were  cut 
through  the  woods,  and  some  of  them  were  known  as,  "the  way 
to  the  mill,"  "the  way  to  the  Meeting-Iiouse,"  "Dirty  Lane," 
Mill  Street,  ye  Great  Street,  ye  Long  Street,  King's  Highway, 
etc.,  showing  the  utilitarian  or  topographical  character  of  these 
thoroughfares.  On  all  these  streets,  plots  of  various  sizes,  but 
rarely  more  than  three  acres,  were  assigned  for  house-lots.  Till- 
age lands  were  apportioned  in  six  or  twelve  acre  lots,  or  more, 
and  great  farms  on  the  outskirts. 

The  house-lots  were  fenced  in,  or  paled  with  sharpened 
sticks,  enclosing  gardens,  and  protecting  them  from  stray  cattle. 
The  houses  were  small  and  very  roughly  made,  for  there  was  no 
saw-mill  of  which  there  is  certain  record  until  1649,  and  the 
planks  were  all  sawed  by  hand.  Every  nail,  hinge  and  bolt  was 
also  forged  by  hand.  The  chimneys  were  built  of  wood,  daubed 
with  clay,  and  the  danger  from  fire  was  ever  present.  The  houses 
were  unpainted.  The  appraisal  value  of  an  estate,  in  these  early 
days,  was  rarely  over  £100.  The  average  price  received  from 
the  sale  of  a  house  was  less  than  £25,  and  often,  we  may  pre- 
sume, they  were  built  of  logs. 

The  interior  furnishing  of  these  houses  was  correspond- 
ingly meagre.  On  the  ground  floor  there  were  generally  two 
rooms — the  living  or  family  room,  where  they  cooked,  worked, 
ate  and  sat,  and  the  parlor  or  line-room.  In  the  former  the  large 
fire-place,  with  its  andirons,  bellows  and  tongs,  and  the  iron  bar 
(later  supplanted  by  the  crane),  from  which  were  suspended  large 
and  small  pots  of  copper,  brass  or  iron,  dripping-pans,  spits  for 
roasts,  skillets  and  the  indispensible  warming-pan — all  this  was 
the  centre  of  cheer  and  comfort,  as  the  snapping  and  crackling 
logs  sent  forth  their  warmth  and  glow.  Upon  the  open  shelves 
stood  rows  of  pewter  plates  and  pots,  or  brassware,  candlesticks 
and  a  few  books — notably  "the  great  Bible."  Homely  household 
utensils  also  were  in  this  room — "chirnes,"  powdering-tubs  (for 
salting  meat),  barrels  and  "keelers,"  "bucking-tubs"  (for  wash- 
ing) .  pails,  etc.  Strings  of  dried  apples,  corn  and  fat  hams  swung 
from  the  ceiling.  The  necessary  firearms  and  swords,  ready  for 
instant  use  against  Indian  attacks,  hung  on  the  walls.  A  table  and 
a  chair  or  two,  with  some  benches  completed  the  usual  furnishing 


I  PSWI  CH,      M  ASS,  13 

of  this  room.  In  the  parlor  or  "fine  room"  the  most  conspicuous 
article  was  the  best  bed,  of  imposing  size,  with  long  curtains  hang- 
ing to  the  floor.  A  feather  bed  and  a  warming  pan  were  essential 
to  ward  off  the  cruel  cold  of  those  long  winter  nights.  A  trundle- 
bed  was  common,  and  few  chairs  were  used.  Large  chests  con- 
tained the  bedding,  table-linen  and  wearing  apparel.  There  were 
few  pictures  on  the  walls  or  carpets  on  the  floors,  or  any  other 
ornamental  furnishings.  The  sleeping  apartments  of  the  family 
were  above  stairs,  mere  lofts,  cold  and  cheerless. 

Every  citizen  who  owned  a  house  and  land  within  the  limits 
of  the  town  owned  also  the  right  of  pasturage  for  his  cattle  on 
the  Common,  although  the  right  of  Commonage  did  not  permit 
him  to  cut  down  trees  without  special  order.  The  Common  was 
surrounded  by  a  fence,  and  certain  officers  were  elected  to  see 
that  it  was  kept  in  repair,  called  Fence  Viewers,  whose  function 
was  of  great  importance  in  those  early  days.  The  cattle  were 
driven  out  to  the  Common  by  the  Cowherd  soon  after  sunrise,  and 
brought  back  just  before  sunset,  and  he  was  responsible  for  all 
danger  coming  to  them.  For  his  services  he  received  12  pence 
for  each  cow  before  he  took  them,  a  shilling  and  sixpence  four- 
teen days  after  midsummer,  and  the  rest  at  the  end  of  the  term  in 
corn  or  money.  Swineherds  looked  after  the  "pigges"  in  a  simi- 
lar manner,  and  Pounders  were  chosen  to  care  for  stray  animals 
and  put  them  in  the  Pound  and  collect  the  fines. 

The  strict  observance  of  the  Sabbath  was  perhaps  the  most 
striking  characteristic  of  this  colony  and  of  others  of  its  time. 
Work  ceased  on  Saturday  after  three  o'clock,  and  the  rest  of  the 
day  was  spent  in  learning  the  catechism  and  preparing  for  the 
Sabbath.  The  morning  of  the  Sabbath  was  begun  by  home  wor- 
ship, and  then  at  nine  o'clock  the  Meeting-House  bell  summoned 
every  citizen  to  public  service,  only  the  sick': and  disabled  being 
excused.  The  Meeting-House  was  a  crude,  humble  structure, 
built  of  logs  chinked  with  clay  or  moss,  with  a  thatched  roof.  It 
was  surrounded  by  a  stone  wall  or  fort  for  protection  against 
sudden  attack  by  Indians.  Every  man  above  eighteen  years  of 
age  brought  his  firearms  to  church,  and  sentinels  paced  their  beat 
outside  during  the  service.  There  were  no  pews,  only  benches, 
and  the  men  and  women  sat  on  different  sides  of  the  aisle.    The 


14  Ipswich,     Mass. 

aristocracy  of  old  Ipswich  was  nowhere  more  formally  recognized 
than  here,  however,  as  the  front  seats  were  rigidly  reserved  for 
those  of  the  highest  social  rank,  whether  due  to  ofhcial  station, 
education,  family  connection  or  wealth.  Further  back  were 
seated  the  lower  gentry  and  yeomen,  and  last  of  all  the  poorer 
ones  and  ser\-ants.     The  service  was  long  and  solemn. 

About  two  in  the  afternoon  a  second  service  was  begun,  fol- 
lowed by  the  baptism  of  children,  which  was  an  important  cere- 
mony, as  Puritan  babies  were  invariably  taken  to  church  for  bap- 
tism on  the  first  Sunday  after  birth,  no  matter  how  inclement  the 
weather.    At  sunset  the  Sabbath  was  ended. 

Stern  and  forbidding  as  that  old  worship  appears  at  the  pres- 
ent day,  yet  beneath  it  all  we  discover  that  simple,  unswerving 
fidelity  to  Conscience  and  the  Bible  which  compelled  those  men  to 
make  their  Sabbath  w'hat  it  was.  In  that  rugged  spiritual  soil 
were  planted  the  seeds  of  a  religious  character  which  has  exerted 
its  influence  on  all  their  descendants,  and  we  cannot  help  rever- 
encing and  respecting  them  for  their  consistency. 

As  a  result  of  their  strong  religious  convictions  it  was  ordered 
by  the  first  General  Court  of  the  Colony  that  "no  man  shall  be 
admitted  to  the  freedom  of  this  body  politic  but  such  as  are  mem- 
bers of  some  of  the  churches  within  the  limit  of  the  same."  Every 
Freeman,  after  investigation  by  the  Court  had  showed  that  he  was 
suitable  for  election  under  the  foregoing  order,  took  the  Freeman's 
Oath  of  allegiance,  and  was  thereby  eligible  to  vote  for  the  offi- 
cers of  the  Colony  and  to  take  part  in  the  town-meetings.  For 
thirty  years  this  restriction  of  the  franchise  to  church  members 
was  vigorously  enforced,  but  after  that  the  separation  of  Church 
and  State  grew  wider  and  wider. 

For  a  more  detailed  and  comprehensive  description  of  the 
early  days  in  Ipswich  the  reader  is  referred  to  the  book  above 
mentioned. 


DESCENDANTS   OF 

WILLIAM    LAMSON 

OF  IPSWICH,  MASS. 


William^  Lamson  was  born  in  England,  and  came  to  this  coun- 
try in  1634. 

Of  his  arrival  we  know  nothing,  but  he  went  to  Ipswich  soon 
after  he  landed,  and  the  records  show  that  on  Feb.  5,  1637,  there 
was  "granted  unto  Will'"  Lampson  six  acres  of  planting  ground, 
between  Paul  Williamson's  meadow  and  Goodman  Andrews  ten 
acres  near  the  upper  end  of  Labour-in-vayne  Creek."  In  1640, 
too,  he  received  another  grant  of  land,  and  in  that  year  it  was 
voted  that  "the  highway  to  Chebaco  beneath  Heart  Break  Hill 
forever  be  repayred  by  the  benefit  of  the  grass  yearly  growing 
upon  the  same,"  and  John  Leigh  was  to  enjoy  all  the  profits  for 
"maintaining  the  highway  from  Rocky  Hill  to  William  Lampson's 
lot." 

On  the  bank  of  the  Ipswich  River,  on  a  point  jutting  out  into 
the  stream  at  the  end  of  the  road  leading  to  Labour-in- Vayne 
meadows,  William  Lampson  was  granted  a  house  lot  "in  the 
beginning"  and  it  was  expected  that  this  attractive  locality,  called 
the  Turkey  Shore,  would  become  a  compact  neighborhood;  but 
the  houses  disappeared,  however,  and  some  lots  were  never  uti- 
lized. William  Lampson  and  William  Story,  who  owned  adjoin- 
ing lots  there,  sold  their  property,  now  owned  by  Mr.  Benjamin 
Fewkes,  prior  to  1644,  and  the  neighborhood  evidently  did  not 
prove  popular.  He  also  had  a  grant  of  about  one  and  a  half  acres 
a  little  further  up  the  rwer  on  the  Turkey  Shore,  bordering  on 
Hunt's  Cove,  and  this  was  sold  to  Deacon  Whipple.  It  is  now 
owned  by  Dr.  William  E.  Tucker.  In  1649  there  was  also  granted 
to  "Wm.  Lamson  6  acres  of  salt  marsh  neare  Hog  Island  by  John 
Dane  his  Island." 


i6     Descendants  of  William  Lamson,  of  Ipswich,  Mass. 

There  is  a  hill  in  Ipswich  named  Lamson's  Hill  since  1678, 
and  jjerhaps  earlier.     His  fann  is  still  owned  by  his  descendants. 

Thus  we  see  that  William  Lamson  was  early  a  man  of  prop- 
erty, and  from  the  extracts  from  the  town  records  we  find  him  to 
ha\e  been  a  man  of  considerable  standing  in  the  community  and 
interested  in  town  affairs.  His  name  appears  on  a  list  of  I">ee- 
nien  of  Ipswich,  May  17,  1637.  This  shows  that  he  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  church  in  good  standing  and  thereby  entitled,  after 
taking  the  oath  of  allegiance,  to  vote  for  the  officers  of  the  Colony 
and  take  part  in  town  affairs. 

In  1641  he  was  entered  as  a  Commoner  on  the  Town  Book 
of  Ipswich,  which  showed  that,  owning  a  house  and  land  within 
the  bounds  of  the  town,  he  was  entitled  to  the  right  of  pasturage 
for  his  cattle  in  the  wide  domain  beyond  the  Common  fence. 
These  Commoners,  from  the  very  beginning,  met  in  Commoners' 
meeting,  had  their  own  records  and  legislated  with  reference  to 
all  the  duties  and  privileges  of  Commoners  and  voted  on  all 
questions  relating  to  the  common  lands.  In  1657  it  was  "ordered 
that  Wm.  Lamson  (and  others)  pay  12^  y  head  to  the  cowe  keeper 
for  their  cowes  going  on  the  Comon  according  to  an  order  made 
m  March  last." 

One  of  the  earlier  offices  which  he  held  was  that  of  Pounder, 
and  the  duties  were  to  care  for  stray  animals,  shut  them  up  in 
the  public  pounds  and  collect  the  fines  due.  It  was  ordered  "that 
Mr.  Wilson  .  .  .  and  William  Lamson,  and  they  only,  shall  have 
power  to  impound  Swyne  off  the  Common." 

Another  office  held  by  him  was  that  of  Fence  Viewer,  which 
was  of  the  highest  importance  in  those  early  days,  as  any  break 
in  the  fence  around  the  Common  might  involve  great  loss  in 
growing  crops  at  a  time  when  a  scarce  harvest  was  a  very  serious 
menace  to  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  little  community..  So  it 
is  no  wonder  that  men  of  the  greatest  sobriety  and  carefulness 
were  chosen  for  the  responsible  duty  of  viewing  and  having  charge 
of  this  rude  fence.  In  1640  "William  Lampson  was  appointed  to 
look  that  the  Common  fence  on  the  South  side  be  sufficient." 

The  right  of  Commonage  did  not  carry  with  it  the  right  to 
cut  wood  in  the  dense  forests  on  the  Common,  and  the  privilege 
of  cutting  down  trees  had  to  be  obtained  from  the  town,  under 


Descendants  of  William  Lamson,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.     17 

penalty  of  a  fine.  In  Sept.,  1641,  there  is  a  record  that  "Willi 
Lampson  hath  liberty  to  fell  300  trees  on  the  other  side  of  Che- 
bacco  so  it  be  not  in  the  limits  of  any  town." 

In  1648  he  was  again  on  a  list  of  Freemen  and  paid  tax  of 
2  shillings. 

The  military  life  of  the  early  settlers  was  of  great  importance 
to  the  community  and  the  fear  of  attacks  by  Indians  was  ever 
present.  Every  adult  male  above  the  age  of  eighteen  years  was 
liable  to  military  service.  The  training  of  the  military  bands  was 
constant  and  arduous,  and  breaches  of  military  etiquette  and 
neglect  of  training  were  punished  by  fines.  Thus  we  find,  in 
Oct.,  1643,  a  "List  of  such  as  have  forfeited  for  not  returning 
their  powder  according  to  an  order  of  the  Towne,  .  .  .  ii-0-0. 
Willm.  Lampson." 

Among  the  early  leaders  of  the  military  companies  was  Cap- 
tain, afterwards  Major  Denison,  who  became  so  valuable  as  a 
commander  that  the  people  of  the  town  in  1645  voted  to  pay  him 
every  year  £24-7-0  for  his  "military  helpfulness  to  them"  m  order 
to  retain  his  services.  This  was  apportioned  among  the  towns- 
men, and  in  1648,  in  a  subscription  list  "to  our  leader,  Major 
Denison,"  we  find  that  William  Lamson  gives  two  shillings. 

The  General  Court  at  times  assumed  extraordinary  authority 
over  the  private  affairs  of  the  citizens  in  those  early  days.  A 
scarcity  of  materials  for  clothing  led  to  statutes  increasing  the 
number  of  sheep  in  each  town  to  relieve  the  lack  of  woolen  cloth, 
and  in  1656  it  was  ordered  that  "all  hands  not  necessarily  employ'd 
on  other  occasion,  as  women,  girls  and  boyes  shall  &  are  hereby 
enjoined  to  spin  according  to  their  skill  &  abillitie."  The  Select- 
men were  directed  to  rate  each  family  and  the  amount  of  time 
that  might  be  given  to  spinning.  The  usual  amount  of  spinning 
that  a  spinner  could  do  in  a  day  was  to  be  the  standard,  and  each 
family  was  to  be  assessed  so  many  "spiners,"  or  fractions  thereof. 
Thus  we  find  on  the  town  records  for  1656,  "The  Selectmen  hav- 
ing considered  the  severall  families  of  this  Towne  &  their  employ- 
ment have,  according  to  the  order  of  the  Court,  assessed  them 
spinners  as  is  underwritten  for  the  year  ensuing.  .  ,  .  Wm.

When  William  Lamson  died  his  widow  Sarah  was  appointed 
adm'  of  his  estate,  March  29,  1659,  and  presented  the  above  inven- 
tory of  his  estate,  which  was  made  Feb.  11,  1658,  by  William 
(joodhue  and  Robert  Ford,  showing  the  net  amount  iiii-10-2. 
According  to  the  Probate  Records  of  Essex  County,  Mass.,  he 
left  four  sons,  the  eldest  aged  16,  the  second  aged  9,  the  third 
2  years  the  previous  November,  and  the  youngest  24  weeks  old ; 
and  four  daughters,  the  eldest  14  years,  the  second  7  years,  the 
third  —  years,  and  the  fourth  4  years  old. 

Sarah  Lamson,  the  widow,  had  married  previous  to  Nov., 
1661  (Savage's  Gen.  Diet,  gives  April  10,  1661),  Thomas  Harts- 
horn of  Reading,  Middlesex  County,  Mass.,  and  at  the  Probate 
Court,  Nov.,  1661,  John  Ayres  and  William  Fellows,  calling  Wil- 
liam Lamson  and  Sarah  his  widow,  their  brother  and  sister,  peti- 
tioned that  their  brother  Lamson's  children  may  not  be  cheated 
out  of  their  share  of  the  estate,  stating  that  the  children  had 
been  put  out  to  live  in  other  families,  and  that  the  estate  of  said 
brother  Lamson  had  not  been  valued  near  so  high  as  it  was  esti- 
mated by  them.  Accordingly,  Thomas  Hartshorn  made  over  as 
security  his  house  and  homestead  of  fifteen  acres  in  Reading,  and 
bounded  by  lands  of  James  Pike  and  Walter  Fairfield  and  the 


Descendants  of  William  Lam  son,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.     21 

common  lands  of  Reading,  etc.,  on  the  nth  of  12  mo.,  1661, 
which  satisfied  the  Judge  of  Probate. 

Savage  says  that  Thomas  Hartshorn  already  had  several 
children  by  his  former  wife,  Susan,  and  that  by  Sarah,  the  widow 
of  William  Lamson,  he  had  a  son  Timothy,  born  Feb.  23,  1662. 

On  Jan.  20,  1720,  Joseph  Lamson,  the  only  surviving  son  of 
William  Lamson,  was  appointed  adm^  de  Bonis  non  of  his  estate.

John-  Lamson  (William^)  was  born  at  Ipswich,  Mass.,  Nov., 
1642,  and  died  at  Topsfield,  Mass.,  1717.  He  married  Martha, 
daughter  of  Deacon  Thomas  and  Phebe  (Gould)  Perkins  of 
Topsfield,  at  Ipswich,  Dec.  17,  1668.  She  was  born  in  1649  at 
Topsfield  and  died  1728. 

Deacon  Perkins  was  bom  in  England,  probably  in  Newant, 
Gloucestershire,  in  1616,  and  sailed  with  his  father  "Quarter- 
Master"  John  Perkins,  from  Bristol,  Eng.,  in  the  ship  Lyon, 
arriving  in  163 1.  John  Perkins  went  to  Ipswich  with  John  Win- 
throp  the  younger  and  was  Deputy  to  the  General  Court  in  1636. 
Deacon  Perkins  removed  to  Topsfield  and  married  Phebe,  daugh- 
ter of  Zaccheus  and  Phebe  (Deacon)  Gould,  about  1640. 

John  Lamson,  the  eldest  son  of  William  Lamson,  lived  in 
Ipswich  and  owned  a  large  farm  there.  His  name  appears  on  a 
list  of  Freemen  of  Ipswich,  May  27,  1674,  and  also  on  "a  list  of 
those  who  took  the  oath  of  Alegance  of  Ipswich  town  before  the 
worshipfull  Major  Gen^  Denison,  Esq.,  the  nth  of  December, 
1678."  Again  his  name  appears  on  "the  list  of  those  that  by  law 
are  allowed  to  have  there  votes  in  Town  afifairs.  Voted  to  be 
recorded  at  the  Towne  meeting,  December  the  2th,  1679." 

An  interesting  phase  of  life  in  those  early  Colonial  days  was 
the  attitude  of  different  communities  toward  witchcraft.  In  the 
autumn  of  1692,  Andover,  Mass.,  was  convulsed  with  an  outbreak 
of  the  current  delusion.  The  accusations  of  some  who  fomented 
the  trouble  caused  the  imprisonment  of  four  women,  two  of 
whom  came  to  the  Ipswich  prison.     The  lives  of  not  only  the 


Descendants  of  William  Lamson,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.     23 

plainer  people  but  also  of  magistrates  and  ministers  were  in  peril 
if  such  baseless  accusations  were  permitted  to  be  continued,  and 
calmer  judgments  began  to  prevail.  On  Jan.  3,  1692/3,  by  virtue 
of  an  Act  of  the  General  Court,  the  first  Superior  Court,  called 
the  "Court  of  Assizes  and  General  Goal  Delivery,"  was  convened 
at  Salem.  The  Grand  Jury  included  several  Ipswich  men,  and  on 
the  "Jury  for  Tryalls,"  among  others,  was  John  Lamson.  On  the 
whole,  Ipswich  suffered  little  from  this  delusion  as  compared  with 
other  important  towns  in  the  County,  and  her  judicious  and  far- 
seeing  temper  preserved  her  balance  in  the  wild  excitement  of  the 
witchcraft  period. 

John  Lamson  bought  and  sold  several  pieces  of  real  estate 
in  Ipswich,  as  shown  by  the  following  records : — 

John  Lamson  sen""  of  Ipswich  bought  of  John  Fairfield  about 
30  acres  in  Ipswich  at  the  north  side  of  Mile  Brook  River  and  on 
the  southeast  side  of  the  road  leading  to  Wenham,  1694. 

He  bought  of  Elizabeth,  widow  of  John  Rogers,  6  acres  of 
marsh  on  Stage  Island  in  Ipswich,  1695,  and  sold  the  same  to 
Joseph  Fuller  in  1704. 

He  bought  of  Walter  Fairfield,  Jr.,  the  house  where  the 
grantor  then  lived  with  i^  acres  of  land,  1694.  He  also  bought 
of  the  same  a  house,  barn  and  about  100  acres  of  land  in  Ipswich 
in  1697. 

He  sold  to  Rob  Quarles  a  dwelling  house  and  about  30  acres 
of  land  near  Wenham  which  he  bought  of  Walter  Fairfield 
Dec.  30,  1712. 

He  deeded  to  his  son  John''  of  Ipswich  for  £100  about  50 
acres,  "a  certain  parcell  of  ground  which  I  bought  of  my  brother 
Wm.  Howlett,"  bounded  "by  the  Ipswich  River  S.  W.  and  N.  W. 
and  N.  E.  by  Ipswich  Common  S.  E.  and  Southerly  as  it  is 
bounded  in  my  deed,"  reserving  a  right  of  way  for  the  grantor's 
brother  Howlett  to  pass  through  the  same,  etc.,  June,  1700. 

He  bought  of  Col.  John  Appleton  about  7  acres  of  salt  marsh 
by  the  North  side  of  Ipswich  River  in  Ipswich,  1703. 

He  bought  of  Joseph  Gerrish  of  Wenham  about  3^  acres 
by  Ring's  Cove  in  Ipswich,  March  5,  1706/7. 

John  Lamson  sen''  of  Ipswich  yeoman  for  love  and  affection 
deeded  to  his  son  Wm.'  Lamson  of  Ipswich,  yeoman,  "a  dwelling 


24     Descendants  of  William  Lam  son,  of  Ipswich,  Mass. 

house  newly  built  and  60  acres  of  upland  and  meadow  ground 
and  being  ye  one  halfe  of  my  farm  which  I  bought  of  Walter 
Fairfield,  Jr.,  be  it  more  or  less,  said  house  and  land  being  situate 
lying  and  being  in  ye  township  of  Ipswich  afores^  and  being 
bounded  ...  by  land  of  Joseph  Whipple  etc.,  and  also  30  acres 
of  salt  marsh  in  Ipswich,"  June  28,  1706. 

He  sold  to  John  Eaton  of  Redding,  yeoman,  land  in  Redding 
on  the  north  side  of  Ipswich  River,  "it  being  a  lot  which  was  my 
Hon'd  Father-in-law  Hartshorn's."     (Stepfather?) 

To  his  two  sons  Thomas^  and  SamueP  Lamson  of  Ipswich, 
yeomen,  he  deeded,  June  23,  1712,  "all  my  houses  and  lands  yt 
I  now  have  in  ye  s^  town  of  Ipswich  of  what  sort  soever  Both 
upland  meadow  marsh  swamps  or  thatch  banks  and  all  yt  my 
Common  Right  or  Rights  in  Common  that  now  or  hereafter  shall 
be  divided  to  me  in  ye  Common  Lands  in  s<^  Ij)s\vich  .  .  .  with 
all  housing  thereon." 

John  Lamson  made  his  will  June  23,  17 12,  witnessed  by  Sam- 
uel Appleton,  John  Lamson,^  Jr.,  and  William  Lamson,^  and  this 
will  was  proved  June  17.  1717.  It  was  signed  by  his  X  mark. 
By  this  will  his  wife  Martha  was  to  have  the  income  of  one-third 
of  the  real  estate  notwithstanding  he  had  deeded  it  all  to  his  sons. 
She,  with  sons  Thomas  and  Samuel,  to  be  executors.  He  men- 
tions sons  John,  William,  Thomas  and  Samuel,  and  daughters 
Phebe  (who  had  married  Theophilus  Fisk,  and  they  gave  their 
receipt  for  their  portion  Dec.  4,  17 13),  Martha  (who  had  married 
Benj.  Bigsby  or  Bixby  and  their  receipt  was  dated  Dec.  i, 
1713),  and  Sarah  Lamson  (who  had  married  Paul  Faulkner  of

Samuel^  Lamson  (William^)  was  born  at  Ipswich,  Mass.,  Nov., 
1649,  and  died  at  Reading,  Mass.,  Oct.  7,  1692.     He  married

Ipswich,  May  19,  1676. 

He  was  a  bricklayer  by  trade,  and  resided  in  Reading,  Mass., 

where  all  his  children  were  born.     He  served  in  King  Philip's

War  under  Cai)taiii  Davenport  in  1675.  In  1677  he  was  a  mem- 
ber in  full  communion  of  the  church  at  Reading.  In  1686  he 
subscribed  £4  for  a  new  meeting  house  there. 

Samuel  Lamson  died  intestate  and  Mary  Lamson  was  ap- 
pointed adm*  of  his  estate.  Her  bond  of  £200  was  witnessed  by 
Joseph  Lamson.  The  real  estate  consisted  of  40  acres  of  upland 
and  swamp.  His  eldest  son  Samuel  took  the  real  estate  and  paid 
out  to  his  brothers  and  sister  Sarah  their  shares.  The  minor  chil- 
dren, when  Mary  their  mother  was  appointed  their  guardian,  were 
Ebenezer,  aged  14;  John,  aged  13;  Sarah,  aged  9,  and  Elizabeth,

Nathaniel^  Lamson  (William^),  according  to  the  Memorandum 
on  the  back  of  the  Inventory  of  his  father's  estate,  was  probably 
born  in  Ipswich  in  Nov.,  1656. 

He  spent  the  early  part  of  his  life  there  and  his  name  appears, 
with  that  of  his  brother  John,  on  "a.  list  of  those  who  took  the 
oath  of  Alegance  of  Ipswich  town  before  the  worshipful  Major 
Gen'  Denison,  Esq.,  the  nth  of  Dec,  1678."  Like  many  of  his 
fellow  citizens  he  followed  the  sea  for  an  occupation.  Of  his 
life  little  is  known,  but  he  probably  moved  to  Maiden,  where  his 
brother  Joseph  lived,  before  1683,  as  the  following  power-of- 
attomey,  given  to  his  brother  Joseph,  shows  (Middlesex  22:7, 
Reg.  of  Deeds) : 


Know  all  men  by  these  presents  that  I,  Nathaniel  Lamson 
of  Maiden  in  New  England,  have  and  hereby  do  constitute  my 
loving  brother  Joseph  Lamson  of  Maiden  aforesaid  my  true  and 
lawful  attorney  for  me  and  in  my  name  and  stead  to  ask,  demand, 

require,  receive  and  to  use  all  lawful  means  to   ( )   out  of 

the  hands  of  whomsoever  it  may  concern,  all  such  sums  of  money. 
Debts  Goods  or  other  Estate,  be  it  gold,  silver  plate.  Bullion,

upon  the  voyage  I  am  now  bound  out  upon  to  the  wreck  or

procured  in  said  voyage,  Giving  and  hereby  granting  to  my  said 

attorney  full  power  and  authority  to  sue,   arrest,    ( )   and 

prosecute  to  effect  in  any  court  or  courts  and  in  my  behalf  to  ap- 
pear and  any  action  or  actions  to  defend :  and  if  need  be  into 

prison  to  cast  and  ( )  to  deliver,  release  or  other  discharge 

upon  payment  to  give  and  sign  Composition  if  he  see  cause  to 

make  attorneys  one  or  more  to  substitute  and  ( )  at  pleasure 

to  revoke  and  ( )  other  way  to  act  in  my  behalf,  in  as  full  and 

ample  measure  and  degree  as  I  might  or  could  do  if  I  were  per- 
sonally present  to  perform  the  same :  all  w*^^  I  shall  ratify  and 
confirm  at  all  things  by  these  presents :  and  if  it  should  come  to 
pass  that  I   should  depart  this  life  before  I   return   from  the

voyage  I  am  now  bound  out  upon,  then  I  do  hereby  fully  bequeath 
to  my  said  brother  Joseph  Lamson  all  the  estate  that  I  shall  leave 
behind  me  or  that  shall  be  coming  to  me  after  my  decease  by 
him  to  be  possessed  and  enjoyed  as  his  own  proper  estate  and 
to  his  heirs  and  assigns  forever.  In  witness  whereof  I,  the 
said  Nath'l  Lamson  have  hereunto  set  my  hand  and  seal  this 
eighteenth  day  of  December  Anno  Dom.  1683.

Samuel  Newel,  Assis. 

Middlesex  S.S.  Cambridge,  July  20,  1722.  Received  and  ac- 
cordingly entered.  *****Foxcroft,  Reg. 

From  this  document  it  is  clear  that  Nathaniel  Lamson  in 
Dec,  1683,  was  setting  out  upon  some  extended  or  perilous 
voyage,  and  as  there  is  no  further  record  of  him  in  Maiden  or 
vicinity  it  has  been  thought  possible  that  he  may  have  gone  to 
the  coast  of  Maine  (which  was  a  part  of  Massachusetts  until 
1825,  when  it  was  admitted  as  a  separate  state  into  the  Union), 
as  others  were  doing  at  that  time,  and  married  there  and  settled. 
There  are  many  Lamsons  along  the  coast  of  Maine  who  trace 
their  ancestry  back  to  a  Nathaniel  Lamson  who  married  Miriam 
Savage  and  lived  in  Edgecombe,  Me.,  and  this  Nathaniel  of 
Edgecombe  may  have  been  a  son  or  grandson  of  the  above 
Nathaniel  of  Maiden.  There  is,  too,  a  striking  similarity  of 
Christian  names  between  this  Maine  branch  and  that  of 
Nathaniel  of  Maiden,  which  seems  to  make  this  possibility 
almost  a  probability. 


Joseph'^  L.\mson  (William^),  was  born  at  Ipswich,  Mass.,  Aug. 
1657   or   1658,   and   died  at  Charlestown,   Mass.,   Aug.   27th, 


Descendants  of  William  Lamson,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.     29 

1722,  and  is  buried  there.  He  married  three  times:  (i)  Eliza- 
beth Mitchell,  December  12th,  1679,  at  Charlestown,  Mass. ;  she 
died  June  loth,  1703,  at  Maiden,  Mass.,  aged  forty-five  years, 
and  is  buried  there;  married  (2)  Mrs.  Hannah  Welch,  widow 
of  Thomas  Welch,  in  1704.  She  died  Nov.,  1713,  at  Charles- 
town,  Mass.;  married  (3)  Mrs.  Dorothy  Monsell,  widow  of 
Thomas  Monsell  and  daughter  of  Thomas  Hitt,  in  1715,  at 
Charlestown,  Mass. ;  she  died  Aug.  27th,  1722,  at  Charlestown, 
Mass.,  aged  sixty-four,  and  is  buried  there. 

Joseph  Lamson  was  a  stone  cutter  and  a  cordwainer,  and 
lived  in  Charlestown  and  later  Maiden,  Mass.  He  was  with 
Captain  Turner  on  the  Connecticut  River  in  March,  1675/6.  In 
1693/4  he  was  "chosen  to  look  after  yoking  and  runing  of  swine" 
in  Charlestown.  He  was  a  Proprietor  and  Freeholder  there  in 
1694/5,  and  was  appointed  a  Tithing  man  on  March  8,  1696/7. 
In  1701  he  was  on  a  Committee  for  the  boundary  of  County  roads. 
In  1709/10  he  was  a  Sealer  of  Leather.  In  1710  his  name  ap- 
pears on  a  "list  of  families  yt  bare  publique  charges  in  Maiden." 
On  Jan.  27,  1720,  as  "only  surviving  son,"  he  was  appointed 
Adm""  De  Bonis  non  of  his  father,  William  Lamson's  estate. 

His  will,  dated  on  July  16,  1722,  and  proved  Sept.  21,  1722, 
mentions  him  as  a  stone-cutter  of  Charlestown.  By  his  will  his 
wife  Dorothy  was  to  have  what  she  brought  with  her  when  mar- 
ried and  his  sons  Joseph,  William,  Nathaniel  and  Caleb  were  to 
have  the  residue  and  be  executors  of  his  will. 

The  inventory  of  his  estate,  in  which  his  house  was  valued 
at  £140,  showed  total  valuation  of  £203.

John''  Lamson  (Tohn,^  William^),  was  born  at  Ipswich,  Mass., 
Nov.  21,  1669,  and  died  there  Sept.  i,  1760,  "aged  ninety-two." 
He  married  Abigail  Adams;  who  died  in  Ipswich,  April  3, 
1753,  aged  eighty-four  years.  He  was  a  "husbandman"  of 
Ipswich.  He  and  his  wife  Abigail  were  admitted  to  full  com- 
munion in  the  Congregational  Church  in  Wenham  in  1698. 

In  1730,  "John  Lamson,  John  Lamson,  Jr.,  Joseph  Cum- 
mings  and  Israel  Cummings,  Jr.,  ask  for  an  allowance,  having 
built  a  bridge  over  the  (Ipswich)  river,  and  a  way  having  been 
laid  out  from  the  old  Lamson  house,  on  the  south  side,  to 
Gravelly  Brook."     {History  Essex  Co.,  Vol.  I,  p.  574.) 

He  is  spoken  of  in  the  records  as  Sergeant  John  Lamson. 

In  the  Registry  of  Deeds  of  Essex  County  we  find  that  he 
was  a  grantee  or  grantor  about  five  times  between  1720  and  1726. 
It  seems  that  he  was  not  called  "Jr."  after  his  father's  death, 
as  we  find  that  a  John  Lamson,  sold  to  John  Lamson,  Jr.,  his 
estate  real  and  personal,  {Essex  Co.  Reg.  of  Deeds,  41 :63),  viz:

He  made  his  will  Aug.  i,  1747,  and  it  was  proved  Sept.  29, 
1760.  It  mentions  his  wife  Abigail,  and  the  following  children : 
Peter  Lampson,  Abigail  Edwards  (who  was  deceased  with 
children,  viz. :  Mary,  Abigail,  Lucy,  Rachel,  Benjamin,  and  Ester),

William''  Lamson  (John,^  William^),  was  born  in  Ipswich, 
Mass.,  Aug.  19,  1675,  and  died  probably  after  1749.  He  mar- 
ried Lydia  Porter,  one  of  the  six  daughters  of  John  and  Lydia 
(Herrick)  Porter  of  Wenham,  Mass.  They  were  published  at 
Ipswich,  Mass.,  Oct.  26,  1706.  The  Vital  Records  of  Beverly, 
Mass.,  gives  their  marriage  as  Dec.  17,  1706,  at  Beverly.  She 
died  in  Ipswich,  at  sixty  years  of  age. 

William  Lamson  was  a  farmer  and  lived  in  Ipswich,  Mass., 
his  homestead  being  next  to  the  land  of  his  brother,  Ensign  Sam- 
uel Lamson.  He  and  his  wife,  Lydia,  joined  the  church  at  Ham- 
ilton, a  part  of  Ipswich,  Dec.  10,  1727.     He  made  several  trans-

actions  in  real  estate  betwen  17 16  and  1749,  being  grantee  or 
grantor  about  twelve  times.  In  1734  he  sold  to  his  son  Benjamin, 
a  house  and  about  four  acres  of  land  in  Ipswich,  which  he  bought 
of  his  brother  Thomas  Lamson.  In  1749  he  sold  his  real  estate, 
half  to  his  son  Benjamin  and  half  to  his  son  Jonathan,  and  he 
probably  settled  his  estate  in  this  way,  for  we  do  not  find  his 
estate  settled  in  the  Probate  Court.

Thomas^  Lamson  (John,'  William^),  was  born  at  Ipswich, 
Mass.,  Jan.  3,  1682;  died  there  July  — ,  1767.  He  was  married 
three  times ;  married  ( i )  to  Abigail  Faulkner,  daughter  of 
Francis  and   Abigail*    (Dane)    Faulkner  of  Andover,   Mass. 

♦Abigail  (Dane)  Faulkner,  wife  of  Lieutenant  Francis  Faulkner,  was 
the  granddaughter  of  John  Dane  of  Berkhamstead,  England,  who  came 
to  New  England  before  1641,  and  died  in  Roxbury,  Mass.,  in  1658,  and  the 
daughter  of  Rev.  Francis  and  Elizabeth  (Ingalls)  Dane.  She  was  the  first 
person  of  high  social  standing  in  the  town  of  Andover  who  was  con- 
demned to  death  for  witchcraft.  In  the  State  Archives  may  be  seen  the 
record  of  her  sentence:  "The  Jury  find  Abigail  Faulkner,  wife  of  Francis

There  are  two  indictments  of  Abigail  Faulkner.  She  was  examined 
August  II,  1692,  before  Mr.  Hathorne,  Mr.  Corwin  and  Captain  Higgin-

(Int.  of  m.  Jan.  31,  1707),  at  Ipswich;  she  was  born  Aug.  12, 
1683,  at  Andover,  Mass. ;  died  Dec.  26,  1746,  at  Ipswich,  Mass. ; 
married  (2)  Sarah  Rindge  of  Ipswich  (Int.  of  m.  June  18, 
1747),  at  Ipswich;  married  (3)  Ruth  Bowls  (Int.  of  m.  March 
25,  1758),  at  Ipswich;  she  died  Sept.  16,  1776,  aged  eighty 
years. 

son.  Mr.  Higginson  said,  "You  are  here  apprehended  for  witchcraft." 
She  answered,  "I  know  nothing  of  it."  Her  accusers  were  mostly  young 
girls.  (Ann  Putnam,  one  of  them,  was  only  twelve  years  old  at  the  time 
and  lived  to  bitterly  repent.  Some  years  afterward  she  made  public  con- 
fession of  her  sin,  begging  forgiveness  of  God  and  all  who  had  suffered 
from  her  accusations.)  Upon  her  (Abigail's)  entrance,  some  of  those  who 
were  present  fell  down  in  fitts ;  her  attention  being  called  to  it,  she  said, 
"Yes,  but  it  is  the  devil  does  it  in  my  shape."  .  .  .  She  was  urged  to  con- 
fess, but  replied,  "God  would  not  have  her  confess  that  yt  she  was  not 
guilty  of."  She  had  a  cloth  in  her  hand  and  when  she  squeezed  it  caused 
the  afflicted  to  fall  "into  grievous  fitts"  at  which  she  said,  "She  was  sorry 
they  were  afflicted,"  but  was  told  and  it  was  observed  that  she  did  not 
shed  a  tear.  "Mary  Warin  was  pulled  under  the  table  and  was  helped  out 
of  her  fitt  by  a  touch  of  said  Faulkner."  She  said  she  had  "looked  on 
some  of  those  afflicted  when  they  came  to  Andover  and  hurt  them  not," 
but  was  told  it  was  before  she  began  to  afflict  them. 

On  August  30,  1692,  she  again  denied  witchcraft  before  the  justices. 
She  owned,  however,  that  she  "was  angry  at  what  folks  said  when  her 
cousin,  Elizabeth  Johnson,  was  taken  up."  Folks  had  laughed  and  said 
her  sister  Johnson  would  come  out  next  and  she  did  look  with  an  evil  eye 
on  ye  afflicted  persons  consenting  that  they  should  be  afflicted  because  they 
were  the  cause  of  bringing  her  kindred  out  and  she  did  wish  them  ill,  that, 
her  spirit  being  roused,  she  did  pinch  her  hands  together.  She  knew  not 
but  that  the  devil  might  take  advantage,  but  it  was  the  devil,  not  she,  that 
afflicted  them." 

This  is  the  substance  of  Abigail  Faulkner's  examination  as  attested  by 

Simon  Willard. 

On  September  17,  1692,  Ann  Putnam  witnessed  that  she  was  "afflicted 
on  the  ninth  day  of  August."  "Also  that  on  the  eleventh  day  of  August 
during  the  examination  she  had  been  grievously  tormented  by  her  or  her 
appearance.  Also  that  she  had  seen  her  or  her  appearance  grievously 
afflict  Mary  Wallace  and  Sarah  Phelps,"  etc. 

Sworn  to  before  the  Grand  Jury. 

The  sentence  was  delayed  in  execution  through  the  influence  of  friends. 
She  was  kept  in  prison  thirteen  weeks  and  when  released  with  a  general 
jail  delivery  was  yet  legally  liable  to  penalty. 

In  the  year  1700  she  presented  a  petition  or  memorial  to  the  General 
Court  praying  for  defacing  of  this  record  against  her.  having  received  a 
pardon  from  Governor  Phipps.  Her  petition  says,  "The  pardon  so  far 
had  its  effect  that  I  am  as  yet  suffered  to  live  but  this  only  as  a  malefactor, 
convicted  upon  record  of  ye  most  heinous  crimes,  which  besides  its  utter 
ruining  and  defacing  my  reputation  will  certainly  expose  myself  to  immi- 
nent danger  of  new  accusations  which  will  be  ye  more  readily  believed 
and  will  remain  a  perpetual  brand  of  infamy  upon  my  family.  I  do  hum- 
bly pray  that  this  high  and  honorable  court  will  plan  to  take  my  case  into 
serious  consideration  and  order  the  defacing  of  ye  record  against  me  so

Thomas  Lanison  was  a  yeoman  of  Ipswich,  Mass.  lie  dealt 
in  real  estate,  either  as  grantee  or  grantor,  about  a  dozen  times 
between  1713  and  1755.  Some  of  these  transactions  were  as 
follows : 

June  II,  1 71 3,  Thomas  and  his  brother  Samuel  sold  to  Lieut. 
Thomas  Pearly  of  Boxford,  lot  No.  40,  at  a  place  called  Perly 
that  was  their  father's.     December  30. 

December  30,  1712,  Thomas  and  Samuel  Lamson  bought  of 
W'm.  Rob  and  Fr.  Quarles  about  12  acres  in  "Vitson's  meadow  in 
Ipswich." 

March  12,  1729.  Thomas  Lamson  sold  Thomas  Smith  for 
50  shillings  a  thatch  lot  on  Crosses  Island. 

that  I  may  be  freed  from  the  evil  consequences  thereof."  Not  until 
eleven  years,  and  after  much  petitioning  was  the  attainder  taken  off. 
(References:  Records  of  Salem  Witchcraft,  Vol.  2;  History  of  Andover 
or  Historical  Sketches  of  Andover,  Mass.) 

Abigail  Faulkner,  daughter  of  the  above,  wife  of  Thomas  Lamson, 
when  a  mere  child  of  eight  years  of  age.  was  brought  before  the  Alagis- 
trates  of  Salem  in  the  craze  of  1692,  accused  of  witchcraft  and  made  to 
testif}'  that  her  mother  had  made  her  a  witch,  thereby  assisting  in  that 
mother's  condemnation. 

Lieutenant  Francis  Faulkner  was  the  son  of  "Mr."  Edmund  Faulkner, 
who  came  to  America  from  Kingscleare,  Southampton  County,  England, 
and  was  married  in  Salem,  Mass.,  Feb.  4,  1657/8,  by  Mr.  John  Winthrop, 
to  Dorothy  Robinson,  the  marriage  being  the  first  on  record  of  an  Andover 
citizen.  He  was  one  of  the  ten  Freeholders  required  by  law  to  organize 
the  Church  there  Oct.  24,  1645.  He,  with  Mr.  Woodhridge,  the  first  pastor, 
negotiated  the  purchase  of  the  Plantation  from  the  Indians.  He  was  one 
of  the  few  honored  with  the  title  of  "Mr."  In  a  surprise  by  Indians, 
April  18,  1676,  "at  Edmund  Faulkner's  they  wreaked  their  vengeance  on 
dumb  animals, — they  knocked  off  the  horns  of  a  cow,  cut  out  her  tongue, 
and  so  left  her  in  great  misery.  They  put  an  horse,  an  ox  and  cow  into  a 
hovel  and  then  set  it  on  fire." 

A  journey  two  hundred  years  ago  from  one  town  to  another  was  made 
slowly  and  with  many  liabilities  of  delays  from  Indians,  wild  beasts,  bad 
roads  (if  there  were  any  at  all),  swollen  streams,  or  dangers  of  being  lost 
in  storms  or  misled  by  imperfect  landmarks  of  trees,  stakes,  and  stones. 
"Entertainment  for  man  and  beast"  was  a  frequent  necessity  in  these  weari- 
some journeys.  The  first  man  in  a  town  frequentlj^  took  in  travelers  as  a 
courtesy;  thus  it  often  occurred  that  the  Inn-Holder  was  one  of  the 
principal  citizens.  He  was  often  also  a  "Vintnor."  As  the  sale  of  liquor 
or  strong  drink  to  Indians  made  much  trouble,  the  Court  ordered  that  only 
the  most  trustworthy  men  should  he  licensed.  The  first  on  record  to  whom 
this  license  was  fj^ranted  in  Andover  was  Mr.  Edmund  Faulkner  in  1648. 
The  Inns  were  frequently  the  resort  for  marriage,  being  the  largest  houses 
in  the  town. 

Lieutenant  Francis  Faulkner's  son,  Francis,  was  the  Colonel  Francis 
Faulkner  who  led  the  Company  to  the  fight  at  Concord  Bridge  in  1775. 
He  also  commanded  the  regiment  that  guarded  General  Burgoyne's  army 
when    prisoners   of    war.

Joseph  Lamson  was  a  Cordwainer  and  lived  in  Maiden,  Mass. 
It  is  recorded  that  "Joseph  Lamson  and  wife  Hannah  were  ad- 
mitted inhabitants  of  Boston,  Jan.  31,  1736."  Another  record 
says  that  "Hannah,  widow  of  Joseph  Lamson,  and  son  Benjamin, 
were  admitted  inhabitants  of  Boston." 

Joseph  Lampson,  Sergeant,  was  on  the  muster  roll  of  Cap-

that  Maine  was  governed  by  Massachusetts  up  to  1819,  and  was 
called  the  District  of  Maine.)     We  also  find  record  of  a  deed  in

Lieutenant  John  Lamson  was  a  farmer  and  lived  in  Ipswich, 
Mass.  Several  families  living  in  Ipswich  wanted  to  be  annexed 
to  Topsfield,  but  the  Town  of  Ipswich  opposed  their  petitions. 
(Hist.  Essex  Co.,  Mass.,  Vol.  II,  p.  973.)  At  last  they  asked  the 
General  Court  to  grant  their  request,  which  was  finally  granted, 
Feb.  II,  1774,  when  it  ordered  that  the  families  of  Joseph  Cum- 
mings,  John  Lampson,  Israel  Clark,  Joseph  Cummings,  Jr.,  John 
Lamson,  Jr.,  and  Thomas  Cummings,  with  their  lands  and  build- 
ings, be  set  to  the  town  of  Topsfield. 

John  Lampson  of  Ipswich,  gent.,  made  his  will  July  20,  1763, 
and  it  was  proved  July  25,  1774.  His  wife,  Elizabeth,  was  to 
have  the  use  of  the  lower  room  of  the  east  end  of  the  house, 
etc.  He  mentions  his  children  Elizabeth  Goodhue,  Ruth  Brad- 
street  and  John  Lampson,  who  was  to  have  the  residue  and  be 
executor.     His  son  Robert  was  not  mentioned  in  his  will.

Mass.,  June  20,  1706,  and  died  in  Brookfield,  Mass.,  Jan.  7,  1777. 
Tradition  ascribes  to  him  three  wives,  but  there  is  no  record

of  the  death  of  his  first  wife,  nor  of  any  marriage  except  as 
follows: — married  (i)  Elizabeth  Adams,  daughter  of  Thomas^ 
(Nathaniel,^  William^)  Adams  of  Ipswich,  Mass.,  at  Hamilton, 
(Ipswich),  Mass.,  April  18,  1728;  she  was  born  at  Hamilton, 
June  22,  1707;  her  death  is  not  recorded;  married  (2)  Mehit- 
able  Gould,  daughter  of  Samuel  Gould  of  North  Brookfield, 
Mass.  They  were  published  at  Brookfield,  Mass.,  March  10,

Peter  Lamson  was  a  tailor,  and  resided  in  Ipswich,  Mass., 
until  about  1745,  when  he  removed  to  North  Brookfield,  Mass., 
when  he  married  Mehitable  Gould.  He  was  a  soldier  in  North 
Brookfield  in  1748.  He  is  said  to  have  had  twenty-three  child- 
ren. The  records  are  somewhat  incomplete  and  confusing.* 
Mr.  Whipple  of  Ipswich,  who  left  a  note  book  in  which  some  of 
the  early  Ipswich  records  were  kept,  gives  the  following: — Peter 
had  Thomas,  b.  Jan.,  1729;  Eunes,  b.  May,  1731 ;  Amos,  b.  July, 
^7331  Asa,  b.  Nov.,  1738;  Bethiah,  b.  Feb.,  1739,  and  "a  son," 
b.  March,  1740.  A  list  of  Baptisms  in  the  Hamilton  (Ipswich) 
Church,  from  another  source,  gives  a  different  record,  viz. : — 
Peter  and  Thomas,  bap.  June  21,   1729;  Hannah,  bap.  June  6, 

1731 ; ,  bap.  July  15,  1733 ;  a  daughter,- bap.  June,  1735  ;  John,

1739,  ^^^  Daniel,  bap.  July  18,  1741. 

In  the  Probate  records,  Brookfield,  Feb.  17,  1778,  the  fol- 
lowing children  were  mentioned: — John  (eldest  son  of  the  de- 
ceased), Asa,  Daniel,  Elizabeth  Bradshaw,  Martha  Gilbert, 
Eunice,  Priscilla,  Ruth,  Thomas,  Abigail,  Buler,  Mehitable,  Sam- 
uel, Amos,  and  Jonathan.  In  the  settlement  of  the  estate  of 
Mehitable  Lamson,  widow  of  Peter  Lamson,  on  April  3,  1783, 
the  following  heirs  are  mentioned: — 

John  (the  eldest  son),  Elizabeth  Bradshaw,  Asa  of  Unity, 
N.  H.,  Martha  Gilbert,  Daniel  of  Athol,  Mass.,  Jonathan  (the 
fourth  son),  Eunice  Harris  of  Northfield,  Priscilla  Barnes,  Ruth, 

*There  is  a  lapse  of  fourteen  years  between  the  birth  of  his  last  child 
by  Elizabeth  Adams,  and  his  marriage  to  Mehitable  Gould.  Some  of  his 
descendants  say  he  had  "ten,"  others  "nine"  children  by  his  first  wife,  and 
"thirteen  by  the  third  wife,"  several  dying  when  quite  young.

oldest  son,  John  Lamson,  made  the  following  petition  to  the  Judge 
of  Probate : — 

"Brookfield,  January  9,  1782. 

Sir:— 

I  would  inform  your  Honour  that  my  Honourd  Mother, 
Mehetable  Lamson,  has  lately  deceased,  and  I  suppose  that  the 
right  of  administrator  belongs  to  me,  but  by  reason  of  a  very 
low  state  of  health,  I  am  utterly  unable  to  attend  the  business  and 
my  own  brethem  by  reason  of  the  distance  they  live  from  this 
place,  dec  ine  the  undertaking.

I  would  therefore  recommend  to  your  Honour,  my  Brother- 
in-law,  Mr.  Solomon  Barnes,  as  a  proper  person  to  administer  on 
said  estate,  and  request  your  Honour  would  be  pleased  to  grant 
him  letters  of  administration. 

From  your  humble  servant,

he  succeeded  Rev.  Mr.  Caner  as  rector  of  the  church  at  Fair- 
field, Conn.  He  also  officiated  at  intervals  at  Ridgefield  and  Nor-

of  Mr.  Lamson,  in  1748,  to  erect  a  house  of  worship  which  was 
called  St.  John's  Church.  (Beardsley's  History  of  the  Episcopal

tised June  22,  1729,  at  Ipswich,  Mass.,  and  died  in  New  Brain- 
tree,  Mass.,  in  1756. 

The  History  of  North  Brookfiled  says  that  "Thomas  Lam- 
son, born  Ipswich,  age  zy,  residence  New  Braintree,  was  in  Capt. 
Samuel  Robinson's  Company,  at  Fort  Edward,  1756."  This 
identifies  him  as  the  son  of  Peter  Lamson  of  Ipswich  and  North 
Brookfield.  The  will  of  Thomas  Lamson  of  New  Braintree  was 
dated  March  i,  1756,  and  proved  Nov.  26,  1756.  He  does  not 
mention  any  wife  or  children,  so  he  was  probably  unmarried.

was  born  at  North  Brookleld,  Mass.,  Dec.  9,  1762,  and  died 
at  West  Randolph,  Vt.,  April  5,  1830.  He  married  Anna

May  12,  1785,  at  Randolph,  Vt. ;  she  was  bom  at  Hampden, 
Conn.,  Jan.,  1767,  and  died  at  Randolph,  Vt.,  April  29,  1849. 

Captain  Thomas  Lamson  spent  the  early  part  of  his  life

at  North  Brookfield,  Mass.,  March  5,  1765.  The  Brookfield

organized  in  1806  with  13  members,  and  Rev.  Amos  Lamson 
was  ordained  as  their  first  pastor.  It  is  difficult  to  trace  his  child- 
ren, but  he  is  said  to  have  had  three  sons,  one  of  whom  was 
a  minister  in  New  York  State,  and  another,  who  was  named

That  the  said  Indians  striped  your  petitioner  of  his  clothes 
and  other  things,  an  Inventory  of  which  is  herewith  exhibited. 
That  in  the  time  of  your  petitioners  captivity  he  had  the  Small 
Pox  in  Quebec,  and  the  Nervous  Fever  in  France,  both  which 
were  very  chargable  and  expensive,  as  well  as  very  grievous  and 
distressing,  with  many  other  scenes  of  difficulties  and  troubles 
too  tedious  to  be  here  Enumerated. 

Wherefore  your  petitioner  most  humbly  prays  your  Excel- 
lency and  Honour  to  take  his  case  and  condition  under  your  wise 
consideration,  and  Grant  him  such  Relief  and  in  such  way  and 
manner  as  your  Excellency  and  Honour  in  your  great  Wisdom 
and  wonted  clemency  shall  see  fit. 

And  your  petitioner  as  in  duty  bound  shall  ever  pray,  &c.

he  was  one  of  several  who  signed  a  petition  to  be  annexed  to 
the  town  of  Shrewsbury,  which  was  done  in  1786.  Part  of 
Shrewsbury,  the  North  Precinct,  afterwards  became  the  town 
of  Boylston,  Mass.  The  old  homestead  has  been  in  the  family 
until  recently,  when  it  was  taken  by  the  Metropolitan  Water  Com- 
pany of  Boston.  A  part  of  the  large  farm  will  ultimately  be 
submerged,  but  not  the  site  of  the  homestead.

William  Lamson  was  a  resident  of  Keene,  N.  H.  The  His- 
tory of  Keene  says  of  him :  '*He  went  to  Keene  from  Charles- 
town,  Mass.,  in  1787,  on  foot.  He  bought  a  quarter  of  an 
acre  of  land,  and  established  a  tannery.  When  everything 
was  paid  for  he  had  just  one  pistareen,  equal  to  seventeen  cents, 
left.  He  prospered,  and  in  1790  he  returned  to  Charlestown 
and  married  Margery  Russell.  The  young  couple  came  as  far 
as  New  Ipswich  in  a  chaise,  but  from  there  to  Keene  there  was 
no  road,  so  they  both  mounted  on  one  horse,  and,  with  their 
marriage  outfit  tied  on  behind,  they  came  by  a  bridle  path  back  to 
Keene,  where  they  made  their  home. 

Mr.  Lamson  was  a  man  of  great  business  capacity,  staunch 
integrity  and  sound  judgment.  He  was  amiable  and  generous  in 
disposition,  and  commanded  the  respect  and  esteem  of  all.  He 
left  $1500  to  aid  in  the  erection  of  the  first  Unitarian  Meeting 
House."

and  died  at  Grenada,  Central  America,  Dec.  16,  1846.  He 
married  Mary  Brown,  Oct.  6,  1807,  at  Beverly,  Mass.  (Int.

1782,  and  died  at  Beverly,  Mass.,  June  12,  1836,  at  the  age 

of  54. 

The  following  account  of  his  life  is  taken  from  The  Auto- 
biography of  Capt.  Zachary  G.  Lamson,  published  by  W.  B. 
Clarke  Co.,  Boston.  This  book  gives  his  Diary,  covering  a  period 
from  1797  to  1814. 

He  says :  *Tn  my  early  years  I  was  kept  at  school  in  town 
(Beverly),  and  at  fourteen  years  of  age  studied  the  Latin  Gram- 
mar, Trigonometry  and  the  Elements  of  Navigation.  My  father 
did  not  wish  to  send  me  to  sea,  but  it  was  my  constant  wish  to 
follow  a  seafaring  life."  His  father  finally  consented  and  in 
Nov.,  1797,  he  embarked  on  board  the  Essex,  bound  for  Havana, 
in  capacity  of  cabin  boy.  On  their  first  voyage  they  were  nearly 
shipwrecked,  but  finally  reached  their  destination.  He  made  many 
foreign  voyages,- — in  the  brig  Mars  of  Salem,  the  schooner 
Rachel  of  Beverly,  the  schooner  Wells  of  Salem,  and  many  others. 
The  boy  rose  by  being  always  competent  to  take  a  higher  posi- 
tion, and  by  the  time  he  was  twenty-one,  he  had  attained  his  first 
ambition  and  was  captain  of  the  vessel.  What  that  meant  in 
those  days  it  is  hard  for  us  to  understand.  He  left  his  home 
port  perhaps  with  a  cargo  valued  at  $100,000  and  his  instructions 
from  the  owner  for  the  voyage  might  not  cover  half  a  sheet  of  note 
paper.  When  the  captain  had  crossed  the  bar  and  was  on  the 
open  sea  he  was  his  own  master,  free  to  sail  wherever  and  buy 
whatever  he  wished.  That  he  was  personally  brave  goes  without 
saying,  for  he  had  not  only  to  manage  his  crew,  and  face  the 
ordinary  perils  of  the  deep,  but  from  1800  to  1825  not  a  vessel 
left  port  but  ran  the  danger  of  a  piratical  attack.  Capt.  Lam- 
son's  diary  is  filled  with  the  most  exciting  adventures  of  this  sort. 
Wrecked  when  a  mere  boy  on  Cape  Cod,  and  in  mature  life  on 
the  ''Blue  Caicos,"  alternately  a  prisoner  on  French  and  English 
war-ships,  twice  captured  by  pirates,  and  three  times  beating 
them  off,  following  his  fortune  in  South  America  with  alternate 
success  and  failure.  Captain  Lamson  played  the  game  of  com- 
merce for  all  it  was  worth ;  but  the  cards  were  stacked  against 
him,  and  when  he  died  in  the  delirium  of  fever  in  Granada,  Cen- 
tral America,  at  the  age  of  sixty-three,  he  was  poor  in  all  but 
experience.

He  is  described  as  a  handsome  portly  man,  with  curly  hair 
and  laughing  blue  eyes.  He  was  a  thorough  sailor  and  a  com- 
petent navigator.  He  was  generous  almost  to  prodigality,  and 
made  and  lost  large  sums  with  equal  facility.  He  was  of  an 
ambitious,  optimistic  temperament,  a  good  father  and  a  kind 
friend.

and  was  engaged  in  that  occupation  all  his  life,  and  at  the  time  of 
his  death  he  had  his  factory  in  operation  at  Gallupsville.  The  fol- 
lowing obituary  notice  was  written  by  Mr.  Daniel  Knowles  of 
Schoharie:  "He  was  a  genial,  pleasant  man  in  his  intercourse 
with  others,  a  true  friend  and  a  man  of  highest  sense  of  honor, 


Descendants  of  William  Lamson,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.  171 

whose  word  was  as  good  as  his  bond.  He  was  born  in  the  state  of 
Connecticut,  and  commenced  Hfe  very  poor,  at  the  age  of  ten 
being  obliged  to  work  out  for  his  board.  The  scenes  of  poverty 
were  thus  early  impressed  upon  his  mind,  but  by  industry,  econ- 
omy and  sound  judgment  in  the  management  of  his  business  and 
financial  affairs  he  acquired  immense  wealth,  and  at  his  death  was 
the  richest  man  in  Schoharie  County. 

"In  his  money  matters  he  was  the  very  soul  of  honor,  as  he 
never  took  advantage  of  any  person,  and  was  lenient  to  those 
who  were  indebted  to  him,  especially  if  they  were  in  any  way 
embarrassed.  With  all  his  wealth  he  retained  to  a  certain  extent 
the  same  economical  mode  of  life  that  necessity  had  imposed  upon 
him  in  his  early  days,  but  was  by  no  means  parsimonious.  For 
many  years  he  had  appropriated  $1,500  per  year  in  annuities  to 
distant  poor.  His  funeral  was  held  in  the  Methodist  Church  at 
Gallupsville,  Rev.  T.  Dwight  officiating." 

His  estate  was  estimated  at  about  a  quarter  of  a  million  dol- 
lars. He  never  was  married,  and  his  estate  was  appointed  by  will 
among  a  large  number  of  relatives,  his  nephews  and  nieces  and 
their  children.  His  grave  is  in  Locust  Cemetery,  Greenville, 
Greene  County,  N.  Y.

The  dedicatory  sermon  was  preached  by  Rev.  Dr.  Albert  J. 
Lyman  of  Brooklyn,  who  spoke  of  Mr.  Lamson  as  follows : 

"I  loved  him,  as  all  men  did,  as  a  comrade — a  nature  alto- 
gether love-worthy,  with  something  of  the  very  grace  of  Christ 
upon  it.  For  but  five  years  he  had  been  pastor  here.  But  what  a 
five  years,  and  what  a  pastor!  How  tactful,  wise,  noble,  fruit- 
ful !  Dr.  Lamson  possessed  a  fraternal  mind,  full  of  good  nature 
and  good  humor.  The  word  for  him  is  brother.  Large  in  frame 
he  was  larger  still  in  sympathy,  strong  in  a  healthy  helpfulness,  a 
man  of  cheer  when,  upon  the  retirement  of  the  most  distinguished 
man  and  orator  in  the  Congregational  Commission  in  this  land 
from  his  position  as  President  of  the  American  Board  of  Foreign 
Missions,  Dr.  Lamson  was  unanimously  elected  to  fill  that  difficult 
and  important  post,  he  was  found  ready  and  adequate,  and  his 
selection  was  immediately  and  amply  justified.  With  a  mind  as 
fine  in  its  poise  as  it  was  firm  in  its  grasp,  he  instantly  and  success- 
fully responded  to  whatever  task  was  laid  upon  him.  And  yet  the 
finest  thing  in  him  was  his  spirituality. 

During  these  later  yeais  I  had  occasion  often  to  meet  him, 
and  to  meet  him,  however  casually,  was  not  only  to  be  freshly 
charmed  by  his  singular  urbanity,  but  to  be  inspired  by  the  deeper 
impression  that  this  rare  grace  was  the  very  grace  of  Christ  Him- 
self within  him  and  upon  him."

Daniel  Lowell*  Lamson,  M.  D.  (Edward  P.,^  William,*  Wil-

kinton,  N.  H.,  July  8,  1831  (another  reference  gives  it  as  June 
18,  1834)  ;  he  died  at  Fryeburg,  Me.,  Feb.  14,  1894.  He  married 
(i)  Henrietta  Reede,  Sept.  i,  1858;  she  died  July  17,  1865; 
he  married  (2)  Mrs.  Sarah  Matilda  Vose  Chapman. 

The  following  account  of  his  life  is  partly  taken  from  the 
Cyclopedia  of  American  Biography,  by  Howard  A.  Kelly,  M.  D., 
and  from  Appleton's  American  Biographies: 

Although  he  might  be  called  by  some  a  "Jack  of  all  Trades," 
he  was  also  a  master  of  many.  He  was  educated  in  the  Hopkinton 
and  Fryeburg  Academies,  and  studied  medicine  at  the  Dartmouth 
Medical  School,  and  afterwards  at  the  University  of  New  York, 
where  he  took  his  degree  of  M.  D.,  March  4,  1857.  He  settled  in 
Fryeburg,  Me.  He  early  became  a  member  of  the  Maine  Medical 
Association,  and  was  examining  surgeon  for  pensions  nearly  up 
to  the  time  of  his  death. 

Dr.  Lamson  had  a  lucrative  practice,  and  attended  to  it  faith- 
fully. Despite  his  mechanical  talent  he  never  neglected  a  patient 
for  any  pet  invention.  He  was  highly  thought  of  everywhere 
within  fifty  miles  of  his  town  as  an  excellent  and  faithful  surgeon 
and  physician.  He  wrote  several  papers  of  interest,  the  best  one 
of  these  being  "Aphasia  from  Brain  Injury,"  Maine  Medical 
Association,  1882.  He  was  often  chosen  a  visitor  to  the  Medical 
School  of  Maine.

He  was  a  born  inventor,  and  had  he  not  adopted  medicine 
as  his  profession  he  would  have  made  his  fortune,  for  with  his 
own  hands  he  invented  a  working  steam  engine,  a  double  stitch 
sewing  machine  (long  before  such  things  were  ever  patented) 
and  a  mowing  machine  with  which  he  lost  a  fortune  by  neglecting 
to  get  a  patent. 

He  improved  the  telephone  and  was  an  expert  electrician. 
For  several  years  he  kept  the  town  clock  wound  up  and  in  con- 
stant repair,  climbing  the  tall  tower  for  that  purpose. 

He  was  the  leader  of  the  village  band,  and  a  teacher  of  each 
instrument.  He  was  the  originator  and  took  care  of  all  the 
waterworks.  Besides  all  this,  he  invented  several  surgical  instru- 
ments, among  them  an  automatic  vaccinator,  which  is  still  in  use 
in  times  of  threatened  epidemics.  He  was  an  ingenious  man,  and 
when  he  died  from  an  apoplectic  stroke  it  seemed  as  if  the  whole 
village  ceased  to  live  or  breathe.

Rufus  Lamson  &  Son,  builders  and  contractors.  They  built 
many  of  the  large  and  substantial  brick  structures  in  the  Cam- 
bridgeport  section  of  the  city.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the 
Volunteer  Fire  Department,  and  during  the  epidemic  of  1872, 
when  horses  were  so  afflicted,  and  at  the  time  of  the  Boston  fire, 
he  with  other  volunteers,  helped  to  drag  the  hook  and  ladder 
truck  from  Cambridge  to  Boston,  and  worked  all  night  there, 
rendering  much  aid  to  the  department  of  Boston  when  it  was 
needed.  Later,  when  the  Cambridge  Veteran  Fireman's  Associa- 
tion was  formed,  he  became  one  of  the  charter  members,  and 
frequently  came  down  from  his  home  in  Elkins,  N.  H.,  to  meet 
with  those  who,  like  himself,  had  fought  fires  long  before  a 
permanent  department  was  thought  of. 

In  1893  he  removed  to  Elkins,  N.  H.,  where  he  resided  until 
his  death.  In  1908  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lamson  celebrated  their  golden

In  disposition  Mr.  Lamson  was  kind  and  gentle,  much 
given  to  charity  and  never  allowing  his  right  hand  to  know  what 
his  left  hand  did.  His  thoughtful  acts  will  long  be  remembered. 
He  was  a  loving  husband,  a  good  father,  a  faithful  friend  and  a 
helpful  citizen.  His  memory  is  held  in  esteem  and  his  loss  deeply 
mourned.

John  Sawyer  Lamson  received  his  early  education  in  the 
schools  of  Nashua,  N.  H.  In  1850  he  resided  in  North  Reading, 
Mass.,  but  was  in  business  in  Salem,  Mass.,  with  the  firm  of 
Phillips,  Goodhue  and  Bowker,  importing  merchants  in  the  East 
India  trade. 

In  185 1  he  removed  to  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  and  entered  into 
business  with  his  uncle,  George  W.  Lamson,  who  was  an  importer 
of  varnish  gums,  at  14  South  William  St.,  New  York  City.  A 
few  years  later  he  started  in  business  for  himself,  as  a  gum  mer- 
chant, and  in  i860,  with  his  brother,  Edwin  Lamson,  he  founded 
the  firm  of  John  S.  Lamson  &  Bro.,  importers  of  African  and 
South  American  products,  at  'jy  Maiden  Lane,  New  York,  and 
this  firm  continued  in  business  at  this  address  for  fifty  years. 
They  were  largely  interested  also  in  asphaltum  and  manganese. 
At  one  time  Mr.  Lamson  had  control  of  a  large  collection  of  pre- 
historic pottery,  thousands  of  pieces  of  which  were  taken  from 
the  ancient  graves  of  Chiriqui,  Panama.  He  sold  part  of  them 
to  the  Smithsonian  Institute,  at  Washington,  D.  C,  and  part  to 
the  Peabody  Museum  at  Yale  University,  and  other  Museums. 

In  June  15,  1859,  he  married  Mary  Hart  Hunter,  daughter 
of  the  Rev.  John  Hart  Hunter.  Mr.  Hunter  was  a  graduate  of 
Union  College,  Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  in  1825,  and  while  a  student 
there  he  founded  the  first  chapter  of  the  Kappa  Alpha  Fraternity, 
which  has  since  grown  to  be  one  of  the  most  prominent  Societies 
in  ^American  college  life.  He  held  pastorates  in  the  Congrega- 
tional churches  of  Fairfield,  Conn.,  West  Springfield,  Mass., 
Shrewsbury,  N.  J.,  and  Bridgeport,  Conn.  He  died  at  Galveston, 
Texas,  Feb.  22,  1872.  Miss  Hunter's  mother,  Julia  Maria  (Jud- 
son)  Hunter,  was  a  daughter  of  Daniel  Judson,  of  Stratford, 
Conn.,  who  was  a  descendant  of  William  Judson,  who  came  to 
this  country  in  1634  from  Kirby  Moorside,  North  Riding,  York- 
shire, England.  She  (Julia  M.  (Judson)  Hunter)  was  born  in 
Stratford,  Conn.,  Jan.  11,  181 1,  and  died  at  the  age  of  94,  in 
New  York  City,  on  Oct.  14,  1905. 

After  his  marriage,  Mr.  Lamson  lived  at  various  times  in 
New  York  City,  Jersey  City,  Orange,  Montclair,  and  Plainfield, 
N.  J.  In  1881  his  health  broke  down,  and  after  giving  up  busi- 
ness and  traveling  to  the  Bahamas  and  elsewhere,  he  removed  to

Boxford,  Mass.,  where  he  died,  Aug.  21,  1883.  He  is  buried  in 
the  cemetery  in  Boxford,  Mass.  Mrs.  Lamson  spent  the  latter 
years  of  her  life  with  her  sons  in  Summit,  N.  J.,  where  she  died 
in  her  seventy-fourth  year.  The  following  verses  in  memoriam, 
were  written  by  her  friend  and  neighbor,  the  poetess  George 
Klingle  (Mrs.  Georgianna  K.  Holmes)  : 

In  Memoriam. 

Mrs.  John  Sawyer  Lamson. 

As  some  sweet  rythm  that  will  last 
Through  echoes,  though  it  drifteth  past, 
We  hear  a  life-song  echoing  where  we  stand. 
Though  death's  mute  angel  led  her  by  the  hand 

Quite  out  of  sight — 
Aye,  led  her  into  rapture  and  the  light — 
The  motive  of  her  life-song  drifteth  by ; 
Such  music  drifteth  on,  and  may  not  die. 
Who  hears  the  strain — who  heard  it  in  the  past — 
Hath  caught  a  snatch  of  music  that  must  last.

Edwin^  Lamson  (Samuel,'^  Samuel,''  Paul,^  Thomas,*  Thomas," 
John,2  William^),  was  born  at  Tewkesbury,  Mass.,  July  6, 
1844. 

He  received  his  early  education  in  the  schools  of  Boxford, 
Mass.,  and  New  York  City,  and  also  at  Phillips  Academy, 
Andover,  Mass.  He  entered  business  in  New  York  with  his 
uncle,  George  Whitfield  Lamson,  who  was  an  importer  of  gums. 
In  i860  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  brother,  John  Saw- 
yer Lamson,  under  the  firm  name  of  John  S.  Lamson  and  Bro., 
at  JJ  Maiden  Lane,  New  York  City.  They  were  importers  of 
African  and  South  American  products,  gums,  ivory  nuts,  pearl 
shells,  etc.,  and  later  manganese  and  asphaltum.  On  the  death 
of  his  brother,  in  1883,  Edwin  Lamson  carried  on  the  business 
by  himself,  but  under  the  same  firm  name.  The  business  contin- 
ued at  the  same  place,  'j'j  Maiden  Lane,  New  York,  for  fifty 
years.  He  assisted  in  the  development  and  control  of  various 
mines  of  bitumen  and  manganese  in  Mexico,  Central  America 
and  the  West  Indies. 

During  the  development  of  mines  in  Central  America,  he  and 
his  brother  became  interested  in  the  prehistoric  graves  in  the 


Descendants  of  William  Lamson,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.  313 

forests  of  Chiriqui,  Panama,  and  through  their  efforts  the  first 
excavations  were  made  to  secure  the  ancient  pottery  and  gold 
ornaments  contained  in  these  tombs.  The  results  of  their  import- 
ant work  are  shown  in  the  collections  of  these  antiquities  in  the 
Peabody  Museum  of  Yale  University,  the  Smithsonian  Institute 
at  Washington,  the  British  Museum,  and  in  the  complete  Lamson 
Collection  retained  by  the  family  in  Summit,  N.  J. 

Mr.  Lamson  was  an  active  member  of  Dr.  Howard  Crosby's 
Presbyterian  Church,  in  New  York  City,  for  many  years.  He 
was  a  man  of  sterling  character,  strong  personality  and  reserve. 
Outside  of  a  successful  business  career  his  life  was  devoted  to  a 
wide  sphere  of  unostentatious  philanthropy.  He  was  a  deep 
reader,  and  interested  in  an  extensive  variety  of  subjects.  Among 
these  was  genealogy,  and  it  was  he  to  whom  credit  is  due  for  the 
inception  of  the  work  which  has  resulted  in  the  publication  of 
this  book. 

He  was  unmarried.  He  resided  in  New  York  City  until

The  Essex  County  (Massachusetts)  Biographical  Review 
speaks  of  him  as  follows : 

"He  has  succeeded  to  the  occupation  and  home  of  his  fore- 
fathers, and  is  well  sustaining  the  reputation  of  'skilled  and  thrifty 
farmer,'  in  former  times  bestowed  upon  each  preceding  ancestor. 
50  acres  have  been  added  to  the  original  estate,  giving  him  an 
aggregate  of  300  acres  of  land  to  manage.  This  he  does  in  a  most 
intelligent  and  capable  manner,  taking  advantage  of  the  most 
improved  modern  methods,  carrying  on  general  farming  and 
dairying  with  eminent  success.  He  raises  some  stock,  and  from 
his  dairy  of  20  choice  cows  sells  the  milk.  A  part  of  his  pleasant 
dwelling  house,  which  is  an  old  landmark  of  Topsfield,  was 
built  more  than  200  years  ago.  He  has  replaced  the  old  barn  by 
a  commodious  and  well  arranged  structure."

was  selected  by  the  Government  for  the  responsible  task  of  build- 
ing Fort  Assinaboine,  in  Montana.  He  spent  one  year  at  this

Fellow.  He  was  a  Charter  Member  of  the  well-known  West 
Side  Club,  the  "Menoken,"  and  his  popularity  with  the  members 
of  these  various  societies  was  frequently  shown.

Dear   Madam  :- 

You  may  be  interested  to  learn  that  the  genealogy  of  the 
descendants  of 

WILLIAM  LAMSON  OF  IPSWICH,  MASS.  (1634), 
is  at  last  compiled   and   ready  for  publication.      After  working 
on  this  subject  for  thirty  years  I  have  been  so  urgently  requested 
to  publish  the  results  of  my  researches  that  I  have  finally  decided 
to  do  so. 

The  book  has  grown  to  a  much  larger  size  than  was  orig- 
inally intended,  and  it  is  estimated  that  it  will  contain  400 
pages,  and  give  about  5,000  names  of  William  Lamson's  de- 
scendants, with  many  biographical  sketches.  The  edition  will 
be  limited  to  150  numbered  copies,  and  the  price  will  be  ;gio.oo 
per  copy. 

The  printing  will  be  done  by  a  genealogical  publishing  house 
noted  for  its' excellent  workmanship,  and  the  paper  and  binding 
will  be  the  best  obtainable.  It  will  be  indexed  and  so  arranged 
as  to  make  it  very  convenient  for  reference  purposes. 

The  compilation  and  publication  of  the  work  have  required 
much  effort  and  time,  and  a  large  outlay  of  money.  All  the 
expenses  connected  with  it  have  been  met  by  the  author  and 
it  i''  hoped  that  the  book  will  be  ready  for  dcliveiy  Wy  CliiisLuicis. 

If  you  wish  to  subscribe  for  a  copy,  when  published,  will 
you  kindly  fill  out  the  enclosed  blank  and  return  to  me  at  once, 
as  it  may  be  necessary  to  print  a  larger  edition. 

If  there  are  any  additions  to  your  family  gene^iergy,  such 
as  , births,  deaths  or  marriages,  since  1905,  will  you  kindly,  send 
full  information  with  regard  to  them^  s-o  that,  if  not  too  late^ 
they  may  be  inserted-4xi  the  bopkfand  thus  bring  it  up  to  date 
as  far  as  possible.  .^^^^^^'"'^^  ^ — ^^-.^.,,^ 

If  you  wish  tq^ave  any  illustrations  -^Cfamily  homesteads, 
ancestors,  etc^  jSiiblished  in  the  book,  please  comrmiaicate  with 
me,  and- 1  will  let  you  know  the  extra  cost  of  such   inserftons^ 
ifj^rcan  be  arranged. 

A  prompt  reply  will  be  greatly  appreciated. 

Yours  very  truly, 

William  J.  Lamson.
