PREFACE.
^ 1073932
^ Five generations had passed away before any attempt was
made to trace the family history and lineage. Traditions exist
which are niore or less reliable, but after two and one third cen-
turies, nothing can be absolutely known excepting what was re-
corded near the times when the events occurred. The records
made at the time will greatly aid in furnishing information con-
cerning those who long ago passed from earth, and to these rec-
ords reference has been had for facts concerning at least four
generations recorded in this book.
The records of Essex county and of the towns of Ipswich,
Rowley, Georgetown and Methuen, all in Massachusetts, have
been carefully searched, and all the information they furnish
deemed worthy of preservation will be here found.
For the first fifty-five years, nearly all the family lived in Ips-
wich. For eighty-five years after that, most of the family lived
in Rowley and Georgetown, while two families and their de-
scendants lived many years in Methuen.
But very few left Essex county before the close of the war of
the revolution. At that time the family had increased in num-
bers considerably and sought and found new homes in other parts
of Massachusetts and in New Hampshire and Vermont, and
twenty years later. in Maine and Nova Scotia.
At the present time the family is greatly scattered, being found
in at least five New England states, and in New York, NeAV Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, California and per-
haps some other states. It is not known that any of the family
ever made a permanent settlement in a slave state in which slav-
ery existed, excepting in one instance. If any one of them has
claimed to hold another human being as his chattel, it has not
come to the knowledge of the writer.
Our early ancestors were men of character, standing and influ-
ence, industrious and frugal, willing and able to sustain them-
selves and rear their families for usefulness. The same charac-
teristics have to a great extent marked their posterity. No
family has made better citizens than the descendants of Moses
Pengry. Trained as most of them have been to habits of in-
dustry, frugality and uprightness, descended from puritan ances-

try, and embracing much of their strictness, they have been
law abiding, and ready to contribute of their property and influ-
ence to pi'omote the general welfare.
In only one instance has any one of the name been tried for
felony, and in that case the respondent was- honorably acquitted
by a verdict of a jury of his country.
The law reports do not contain the name as a party litigant
for neai'ly two centuries, and up to the present time it will be
found that in most instances they have secured their rights with-
out appealing to the courts to settle them.
They have decided opinions upon political questions of impor-
tance, and exercise the right of speech and of suffrage, but none
of them have made politics their business nor held office excej^t
by the spontaneous call of the people.
Those who have lived to manhood or womanhood have gen-
erally become heads of families, and have contributed their share
of the country's defenders.
In the French war, the war of the revolution, the second war
wdth Great Britain and the war for sustaining the unity of the
nation and the authority of the United States government, they
furnished their share of those "who took the tented field, and en-
dured the hardships of war, and poured out their blood and gave
up their lives for their country and nation. Before the war of
the rebellion they entertained divers political views, but when
the tug of war came thej were all patriots, were all for sustain-
ing the authority of the nation forcibly, if necessary. None of
them rejoiced at rebel victories, or mourned for their defeat.
The knowledge the writer had of the family before commencing
this work and the information obtained in preparing it, combined,
lead him to a feeling of just pride in his ancestry and kinsfolk,
and although the work may prove to him a pecuniary loss, he
will be in some measure compensated by the pleasure of an ac-
quaintance witli the family.
When, about seven years ago, he entertained a purpose to col-
lect the history of the family, he did not know of another person
who was interested in it. He soon, however, found encourage-
ment from others, which tended to cheer him while pursuing his
inquiries under difficulties. Among the earliest who took an
interest were Rev. Dr. John F. Pingry of Elizabeth, N. J., and
Thomas P. Pingree, Esq., a prominent lawyer of Pittsfield, Mass.
They have aided me greatly in obtaining the information which
has enabled me to prepare and send out the work. My acknowl-
edgements are also due to Miss Lucy W. Tenney of Rowley,
Mass., Mrs. Sarah P. Peabody of Strath am, N. H., Mrs. Betsey
Pmgry of Hartland, Vt., Edmund P. Pingree and his daughter
Lizzie A. Pingree of Denmark, Me., Bradbury C. A. Pingree of
Norway, Me., Parkman Pingree of Parkman, Me., Rev. Andrew
nd Dr. David Pingree both of Pingree Grove, 111., David Pingree
a Salem, Mass., Luther F. Pingree of Portland, Me., Benjamin
TREFACE.
B. Pingree of Rowley, Mass., Caroline P. Frost of Petersham,
Mass., Hon. N. W. Hazen of Andover, Mass., Mrs. Rebecca Web-
ster of Briclgewater, N. H., Nathan P. Dodge of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, Wm. W. Pingree of Chicago, 111., True Pingry of Oniro,
Wis., and a person (a lady, I think, who did not give her name)
who furnished me a valuable record of the descendants of Daniel
Pingree, and especially to Mrs. Mary A. Burnham of Ayer, Mass.,
who furnished me family records, and preserved and lent me
ancient papers, without which I would not have commenced the
work. After commencing my researches I was surprised to find-
what the name originally was. So far as I now recollect, the
first knowledge I had of it was obtained by the autograph sig-
natui-e of the second Aaron to a deed made in 1713, a copy of
which is inserted in this work, and afterwards I was informed by
Tho"hias P. Pingree of Pittsfield, Mass., that in examining Essex
county records at Salem, he found a record of Aaron Pengry's
will, He afterwards furnished me a copy of the will in which
was the name of Moses Pengry as a witness. From this copy
and many other ancient papers I am led to think that persons
bearing the name for the first two generations uniformly spelled
it Pengry. The first departure from that orthography that has
come to my knowledge, was in the case of my great-grandfather,
Aaron, who added an " e " at the end making it Pengrye. I have
no certain information that any other person of the name so
spelled it. Since that time the spelling has been greatly diverse
with a strong tendency for the last eighty or ninety years to end
with double e. I have endeavored in the body of the work to
spell each person's name as he spelled it himself, so far as I could
ascertain, I have found at least one ancient name that I cannot
classify. Wm. J. Pingree has furnished me from the New Eng-
land Historical and Genealogical Register Vol. 7, page 79 or 359
the name of Wm. Pengry whose age was 22, in 1666. This is
all I know of him. I tliiiik I have the names of the children of
Moses Pengry, and therefore think he may have been a son of
the first Aaron, and that he died before 1684 when Aaron made
his will. If that were so, Aaron had a former wife (which is
quite probable) of whom I have no account.
One who has had no experience in collecting and arranging
family records, can have but little idea of the difficulties and
labor of the task. Many letters remain unanswered, sometimes
repeated solicitations have brought a reply, sometimes not. Fre-
quently letters giving information have been illegible, or unin-
telligible. I have never known a genealogical record that had
not many mistakes and I cannot expect this will be singular in
that respect. Persons finding mistakes will confer a favor by
giving information. Corrections may and should be preserved,
so that in case of a future enlarged and improved edition, a more
accurate and valuable worji may obtained.
6 THE PENGRY FAMILY.
With this work, containing such records for two hundred and
forty years as have been accessible, for a foundation a good work
may hereafter be made.
I would have been pleased to have been furnished with many
more biographical sketches. No doubt many might have been
written which would be valuable. I have had personal acquaint-
ance with very few of the family, and have not felt myself com-
petent to furnish sketches of them. Nearly all contained in
the work have been furnished me. The book I send out is prin-
cipally statistical, containing names and dates so far as I have
obtained them, and showing how each is related to the others.
Perhai^s future researches will discover the lost link in the family
of the second and third Moses Pengrys.
Whether James Pingry of Lyme, N. H., and George Pingry
of Bennington, Vt., were sons or grandsons of Moses of the third
generation, and where the family were from 1699 to 1764 may
be made to appear hereafter.
It is quite probable that the third Moses, or his son or sons,
lived for a time in Tolland, Conn., but the town records do not
show it.
In this work I have undertaken only to look up and arrange
the family in America. The origin of Aaron and Moses would
be an interesting study, and efforts in that direction have been
put forth, thus far with no satisfactory result.
It is generally understood in the family that they came from
England to Ipswich, Mass., probably from near London. The
fact that Moses and Aaron and the sons of Moses allied them-
selves by marriage with good families, and that Moses took a
leading position in the civil government and in the church tends
to show that they were regarded not as foreigners, but as citizens.
After considerable investigation it is ascertained there has been
within forty years in England one man named Pingree and one
named Pengree. Whether any of the name were left there after
the imigration of Aaron and Moses is uncertain. The name
most like it is the French name Pingre. That name has existed
in France for some four or five centuries, perhaps longer. It is
said to have originated at Amiens. There have been noblemen
of the name as far back as it has been traced. One person of
the name, Alexandre Gui Pingre, was distinguished as an astron-
omer. He is said to have been born at Paris in 1711, and died
1796. A Count of the name has been travelling in America the
present year, 1881.
Rev. Mr. Wood of Scitnate, Mass., has become interested in
looking up the origin of the family, desiring if possible, to show
that the American family are descended from the French family.
So far he has not succeeded, but is hopeful that he may do so, or
at least ascertain the origin of the Pingree family.
However flattering it might be to u^to show our descent from
PREFACE. 7
a noble family, we must be content at present with such esteem
as we deserve on account of what we now are.
I invited information upon the subject of religious and political
preferences, and have obtained it in a few cases. My information
upon that subject has been so limited that I have not to any great
extent introduced it into the book.
Some have desired I should delay publishing the book hoping
to obtain more full information, especially as to our transatlantic
ancestors and kindred. Others have been earnest for its speedy
publication. Some who earnestly desired to see the book have
left the world without seeing it.
Had I the prospect of many years of life and ability to prose-
cute the work it might make a difference with me, but having
arrived at an age nearer four score years than three score and ten
I am admonished that what I do must be done quickly.
EXPLANATIONS.
The small raised figures at the end of a name, mark the gener-
ation to which the name belongs. The sign -{- points to a con-
tinuation of the family to be found in its proper place in the book.
The figures in parentheses are consecutive membei's to which
reference is had in the body of the work and in the indexes. The
Roman numerals show the number of persons in the family, mostly
in the order of birth, but not always. A dash ( — ) signifies some-
thing to be supplied ; b. stands for born; m. stands for married;
d. stands for died or daughter.

THE PENGRY FAMILY.
FIRST GENERATION.
(]) AARON PENGRY
Was in Ipswich, Mass. as early as April 1641, as appears by the
record of a deed from Barnabas Ilorton to Moses Peugry, dated
the 12th day of the first month, 1641, to which Aaron was a wit-
ness. In 1648, he subscribed 3^ towards Major Denison's salary.
Major Daniel Denison was deputy to the General Court from
Ipswich that year. In 1654, Aaron Ping.ry owned a house lot near
John Brewer, Mark Quilter and others. This was probably in the
north or northwest part of Ipswich, as Aug. 10, 1662, he bought
of John and Sarah Gage of Rowley, some marsh land near said
Quilter's which is said to be in the north part of Ipswich; and
May 81, 1671, Aaron Pengry husbandman, bought of Thomas and
Johanna a dwelling house and \\ acre at the northwest part of
Ipswich. The 13th day, 7th month 1673, Aaron Pengry bought
land of James Shute near Samuel Bishop, Philip Fowler and
Robert Lord.
Aaron Pengry m. Jennet, wndow of Robert Starkweather,
Robert Starkweather d. before Nov. 4, 1674. She was b. about
1622, and survived her second husband.
Aaron Pengry made his will May 4, 1684, which was probated,
Nov. 17, 1696.
The following is a copy of his will, from which it may be infer-
red that he left no issue.
"In the name of God Amen. I Aaron Pengry being weak of
body yet of sound understanding as formerly ; doe make & or-
daine this to bee ray last will and testament as followeth:
Impr. I committ may soul into the hands of God who gave it
and my body to decent buriall in hopes of a happy and blessed
Resurrection through the power and strength of my blessed Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ and as for my outward estate which
God has given me I dispose of it in the manner following.
Impr. To my beloved wife I give and bequeath the movable
estate I received with her when I married to her to be at her dis-
pose during her natural life and at her death : Also I give her all

It. My will is and I hereby bequeath unto the three sons of
ray brother Moses Penry, viz", to my cousin Moses, Aaron and
John according to the rate of thirty pounds each, and to ray
brother Moses Pengry his daughters at the rate of twenty pounds
each, with this proviso that my estate being equally valued will
amount to such a sum to each person named when my debts are
payed and what my wife shall leave when what I have bequeathed
to her shall be Improved for the end given ; but if my estate reall
and personall shall not amount to soe much to my cousins then
there shall be an equal deduction from each of the six persons
named and if it shall amount to more; then the adition shall be
made to each according to the proportion I have given to ray six
cousins, and upon the decease of any of the six the proportion
given to the p^^son shall be divided equally amongst the children
of such p^'ty deceased."
Further my will is and I hereby appoynt ray three cousins before

Moses Pengry and loving friend Nehemiah Jewett to be my over-

Moses Pengry. The earliest information obtained in
relation to Moses Pengry is contained in a deed to
him of real estate, dated the twelfth day of the first
month 1641.
The early settlers of New England commenced the
year March 25th, until 1760., so that the date of the
<3eed would be by subsequent reckoning until 1752,
April 5, or if we carry the calendar forward eleven
days for new style April 16th. It is probable that
Moses and Aaron Pengry were both of Ipswich as
■early as 1640, perhaps a few years earlier.
Moses m. Abigail d. of Robert Clement, who is said
by Savage to have come from London to Haverhill,
Mass., as early as 1642, bringing many children with
him, no less than nine of whom are named in his will.
Mr. Clement was representative of the town of Haver-
hill in the General Court of Mass. from 1647 to 1653,
seven years.
In his will he names Moses Pingree husband of his
-daughter Abigail. Ipswich records show that in 1641.,
Moses Pengry was one of the list of commoners. In
1648, he was paid 4 shillings for killing a fox. The
same year he subscribed three shillings toward Major
D«nison's salary. In 1650 Moses Pengry received a
grant of land 40 acres beyond Mr. Hubbard's farm
rear to Wenham line. In 1653, Moses Pengry paid 68
for pasturing two cows on the north side of the river.
In 1654 he was one of the selectmen. In 1656 Dea.
Pengry is assessed by the selectmen 4 pounds 5s as a
spinner. In 1659 Moses Pengry has liberty to fell two
white oaks. In Felt's history of Ipswich it is repre-
sented on the 12th page that the earliest date in which
Moses Pingrey's name appears on the records is 1642
and that of Aaron in 1648, but this is evidently a mis-
take.
On page 98 of Felt's History of Ipswich is the fol-
lowing:—
"Saltworks 1652," "Granted to Moses Pengry a
parcel of land by the ware house below Obadiah
Wood's fence, to set up his salt pans and works and
fence in his woods; also liberty to fell wood out of the
swamp near the town for his use,"
On page 170 of the same book, "1696 Jan, 2, Moses
Pengry died aged 86. His wife Lydia died January
16th, 1676. He was of Ipswich in 1642. Set up salt-
works here in 1652, was selectman and often in town
business, was Deputy to the General Court in 1665, and
was deacon in the first church. He lived long and
usefuHy on earth as one preparing for a heritage in
heaven."

From the Haverhill, Ilass. Gazette, Oct. IS, 1S71.
There died at Georgetown the 30th ult. a remarkable person, who
seemed to come down from a former generation, and that beyond
the last. On the same day of the year when she entered this life,
FIFTH GENEEATION. 23
Mrs. Lydia, widow of Nathan Phillips, departed from it, at the
advanced age of ninety-seven years. Her maiden name was Pin-
gry. She was grandmother of Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, of
Council Blaifs, Iowa, who is among the most distinguished citizens
of the great West.
She was remarkable for the clearness of her understanding, for
the decision of character without the possession of which any
other virtue and attainment may be in vain.
Many instances are still remembered, in which she displayed
these traits. There is one which for its connection with the pub-
lic interest, and for the instructive example and the lesson which
it conveys, should not be forgotten. In the early stages of the
Temperance Reformation, after she had signed her own name, and
those of her children of a sufficient age to understand the trans-
action had done the same, the over-zealous advocate, ambitious for
the apparent success of the cause, and to swell tlie catalogue of
those whom his labors had secured to it, pressed that the names
should be added of those younger still. But she at once refused
her consent, resisted his solicitation, and would not permit it to be
done, saying that these names carried with them the false pretense
that assent had been given by persons who for the want of suita-
ble intelligence could not give it properly and effectually, and who
could afford no real support.
' Who can say how much good was thus done by keeping the
cause pure, and by her refusal to sacrifice in it what alone gives
value to any cause, truth ? It is certain she rendered to it the
highest possible service. The act required for its performance the
presence of mind, clearness of discernment and promptitude,
which in the greatest affairs makes of men heroes. And it is from
the exhibition of traits like this in the present organization of so-
ciety, oftener than from the man, that the virtues of the people,
if they are continued, must be derived.
The lives and virtues of her own children illustrate the value
of an education from such a source as her training and example
afforded.
She made an early profession of her faith in Christianity, and
through her long life abstained from what its precepts and spirit
forbid, and did the deeds which it enjoins, while she enjoyed the
comforts and was adorned by the graces which even here are
shared by the humblest followers of the Saviour.
Nathan and Lydia Pingry Phillips had children as follows:
1. Elizabeth, b. 1800 ; m. Scott ; had two children.

Grenville M. Dodge, has distinguished himself as a civil engi-
neer, and as an officer in the war of the Rebellion. He entered
the Military Utiiversity at Norwich, Vt., in 1847, and completed
his course of education under Capt. Partridge. In 1851 he re-
moved to Illinois and participated in the construction of the Chi-
cago and Rock Island Railroad. In 1853 he was appointed assis*
tant engineer of the Mississippi & Missouri Railroad in Iowa, now
called Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. In 1855, he was
engaged in opening a farm with his father and brother in Nebraska.
Driven from that by the Indians he settled in Council Bluffs, Iowa,
and for several years ens^asfed in eno-ineerintj, bankino- and real
estate business. He was active and influential in advancing the
interests of that city.
At the breaking out of the Rebellion he was sent by the Gov-
ernor of Iowa to Washington to arrano;e for the arming and
equipment of the Iowa troops. He returned and raised the fourth
Iowa Infantry Regiment, of which he was commissioned as Colonel,
and also raised the second Iowa Battery ,reporting with both to Gen.
Fremont at St. Louis, and joined the army of the Southwest. He
bore a prominent part in the famous battle of Pea Ridge, where
the rebel power was broken in Missouri and North Arkansas. He
had three horses shot under him and was severely wounded, and
for his gallantry was made Brigadier General at the request of
Major General Halleck.
Alter recovering from his wounds he was assigned to the com-
mand of the district of Columbus, Kentucky.
In 1862, immediately after the battle of Corinth, he was appoint-
ed to command the second division of the army of the Tennessee
ill the district organized and commanded by Gen. Grant.
Gen. Dodge was soon afterwards assigned to the command of
the district of Corinth.
FIFTH GEXERATIOX. 25
In the spring of 186y his men were occupied in driving back the
forces of Gens. Forrest and Koddy and other rebels, and harassing
the rear of Gen. Bragg's army. He also oi'ganized and equipped
large numbers of loyal white Alabamians and colored troops. —
On July 5, 1863, he was appointed to command the left wing of
the 16lh Army Corps, and joined Gen. Sherman in his march to
Chattanooga, and wintered with his men on the line of the Nash-
ville & Decatur railroad. In the spring of 1864 lie was entrusted
with the advance of the Army of the Teiniesee in the Atlanta
campaign. For his brave and faithful services in this campaign
he was made Major General by the government at Washington.
When the confederates under Gen. Hood made the fierce attack
under which Gen. McPherson fell mortally wounded, Gen. Dodge's
corps bore the brunt of the encounter, and through his skill and
intrepidity, rescued the army of the Tennesee, and turned the tide
of battle, capturing 8 flags and a very large number of prisoners.
The corps was in all the battles in the march to Atlanta and lost
more in proportion to its size in killed and wounded than any one
of that army.
Durino- the siege of Atlanta Gen. Dodge was again wounded,
receiving a gun shot in the forehead while he was m a rifle pit on the
skirmish line sujjerintending an advance; this was on the 19th of
Aug. 1864, As soon as he was again fit for duty, he reported and
was assigned by President Lincoln to the Department of Missouri,
where he relieved Gen. Rosecranz. The National troops in Mis-
souri had become quite demoralized, and the State overrun by
guerillas. Gen. Dodge brought order out of anarchy. At the
same time Kansas and Utah were merged into his command, ad-
ding greatly to his cares and responsibilities. He received the
surrender of 4000 of Gen, Kirby Smith's army in Arkansas and
of Jeff Thompson with 8000 in Missouri.
The war being closed. Gen. Dodge's command was changed to
include the Indian Country, embracing Kansas, Nebraska, Color-
ado, Western Dakotah, Montana and Utah.
In June 1866 he was at his own request relieved from further
military duty. His resignation having been accepted, he was ap-
pointed chief engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad.
For a long time he had given much attention to the contem-
plated enterprise, making important surveys and taking counsel
of President Lincoln and other leading men of the nation. He
was very active and influential in laying out the route and for-
warding the work. While away from home in July, 1866, he was
nominated for Congress by the Republicans of Western Iowa and
elected over a popular competitor by 5000 majority. In the
House of Representatives on the Committee on Military Afiairs
he gave special attention to the re-organization of the army and
defence of the border against Indians. He declined a renomina-
tion, and returned to the plains and mountains to push on the Pa-
cific Railroad, supervising its relations with the government, see-

ing the law was strictly adhered to, and that the work was well
done. After the completion of the Union Pacific Railroad in
1868, he became chief engineer of the Southern Pacific, now Texas
& Pacific Railroad, having charge of the survey and construction.
Since then he has been engaged in the management of the Union
Pacific and other Western Railroads, with his home in Council
Bluifs, but spending most of his time in New York.
Nathan T. Dodge, the younger brother, went to Nebraska with
his parents in 1855, and for one year endured the hardships of
frontier life. In 1856 he Avent to Council Bluffs, where he has
since resided, engaged in Banking and Real Estate business, in the
enjoyment of health and prosperity, and using his influence, tal-
ents and property in promoting the interests of the religious, edu-
cational and benevolent institutions of the State.

Obituary Notice, loritten by 3Irs. N. W. Hazen of Andover, Mass.
Died at Wilmot, N. H, June 19, 1849, Mrs. Molly Cass, aged
85. She was a native of that part of Rowley, now Georgetown,
Mass. Her maiden name was Pingree. She was aunt to the Messrs.
FIFTH GENEKxVTlOX. 29
D. & T. P. Pingree of Salem, Mass., and bore, by marriage, the
same relation to Gen. Lewis Cass of Michigan.
More than sixty years since, upon her marriage she removed to
the vicinity of the place where she died, which was then far into
the midst of a dense, wide and nearly unbroken wilderness. Here
her husband had raised his log house, and made his clearing in the
forest. She reared a large family of children, and has left numer-
ous descendants. She lived to see the mountain region of Kear-
sarge, Avhich^she entered a wilderness, by a footpath and on horse-
back, a populous district, and the steamcar rushing across its val-
leys and the bases of its hills.
The energy and jieiseverance of her character suited her to be
the companion of a " first settler." She never resigned her habits
of active industry, but chose to devote the latest ilays of her life
to useful and often painful toil. She possessed a mind of uncom-
mon activity and vigor. Her memory was unimpaired, and she
retained an extensive knowledge of the genealogies of the ancient
families in the northern part of Essex County. She was always
cheerful, and in all her trials she was supported by the faith and
hopes of Christianity. In every scene she maintained a dignity
and composure fitted to the Christian profession which many years
since she adopted and ever adorned.

The following obituary notice of his first wife ap-
peared in the Watchman aud Reflector, July 1856 :
S6 THE PENGRT FAMILY.
'^ Died in South Groton, 28th ult., Mrs. Eunice, wife
of Dea. John Pingry, 50,.an highly esteemed member
of the Baptist church. So Christlike in heart, in life
and in death, as to leave no doubt but she was a
Christian, and has gone to heaven."
In the same paper, Nov. 1860: "Died in South
Groton, on Thursday, Nov. 1, Dea. John Pingry, 61.
A correspondent writing us respecting- this devoted
servant of God^ says: " He was a man of energy and
liberality." Some remarks that have come to my
ears since his death show something of the man. A
little girl from his neighborhood says, " I cannot go
to meeting any more, for I shall not have Dea. Pingry
to carry me." A sister of the church and neighbor
of tlie Deacon's said, " I can't stop now to commun-
ion, for there is no Deacon Pingry to carry me
home." Her husband is not a member of the church.
Another sister, a neighbor too, and much tried for
years with an intemperate husband, said : " We lost
our nursing mother when sister Pingry died, and
now we have lost our nursing father." A brother of
the same neighborhood, said : "We shall miss him;
wicked men were afraid of him.' Another neighbor at
Pingryville said: "There were none of us who did
not sometimes need to go to him for a word of coun-
sel." He was a friend to the poor, a terror to evil
doers. The good honored him ; the bad cursed him.
He was at one time the chief support of the Baptist
cause in this village. To the last he was liberal in
his contributions. In religious meetings he always
bore an acceptable part. He anticipated death, and
looked for a home above. This is his record. What
better could a man have? "The good honored him."

HON. DAVID PINGREE.
The name of one is now in order whose life and character merit,
and will probably receive elsewhere a more full relation than can
be given here.
David Pixgree, son of Asa Pingree and Annar Perkins his
wife, was born Dec. 31, 1795, on the farm known as the "Pingree
Place," situated in that part of Rowley since incorporated George-
town. He was carried to Maine when his father removed thither
with his family. Mr. Pingree was among the first settlers of the
now popular and flourishing town of Bridgton. He built a saw
and a grist mill before clearing away the forest for a farm.
The early employment of David was in the care of the mills.
Soon as he became bodily able the whole charge was devolved
upon him. His father was much from home. His interest in his
mills did not'suffer from his absence. The conduct of his son so
engaged the confidence of the customers that it was talked of
among them. Young as he was, he had a clear and established
reputation for honesty and exactness. He had then never been
taugjit arithmetic; yet by some process of his own he measui-ed
and computed correctly the quantity and value of the lumber
which he often had occasion to deliver. Thus here were developed,
and perhaps out of the necessities of his condition were implanted
the qualities of mind and character which distinguished him in
the later periods of his life.
At the age of eighteen years he returned with his father's family
to Rowley. His maternal uncle, Thomas Perkins* of Topsfield,
had secured the title to the "Pingree Place." The family of Asa
Pingree were given the possession of it, with the stock and
implements proper to a farm.
*The connection of this gentleman with the family name whose records arc here traced
is so important that some account of him seems due. He was born in Toiisliold, Mass.,
on the farm where he made his last residence. He went to sea as a coinuion sailor, was
captured in the war of the Revolution, and was carried prisoner to the ^\■est Indies. He
was permitted to labor, and wlieu released and Icaviui;- the i)i>rt where he had been
detained, his earnings, in the shape i>f a hogshead id' sugar, when being raised from the
liifhter to the vessel in M'hich it was to l)e slupiied. fell liciween tlie lighter and vessel into
the ocean. Not discouraged, he began a new career df industry and enteriirise, in which
lie amassed great riches. The loss of health compelleil bun t<i retire fr.>m liusiness. He
died a Liachelor. David Pingree had inscribed on marble this delineation of his character :
SIXTH GENERATION". 65
The whole was put into the charge of David, whose manage-
ment of the property was closely inspected by his beneficent
relative.
The conduct of the farm was satisfactory, but it did not afford
the only test to which the capacity and disposition of David were
subjected. He was furnished with money for the business of a
drover, and was sent to Maine for the purchase of cattle to be
driven to the Boston market. At its close the business was
judged to be well done, and satisfactory accounts of it were
rendered.
"The Pingree Place" had many claims upon the affections of
David Pingree.
It was first occupied as a farm by his ancestors. All the build-
ings upon it were erected by them. They had never been in any
other occupancy.
When the grandfather of David died upon it, Capt. Pertins
bought it for the use of David's parents and their family. It
was thus associated in the tenderest manner with the memories
of their great benefactor. It had already a venerable connection
with the family name. As soon as David had the ability he per-
mitted no reasonable opportunity for adding adjoining territory
to pass unimproved. Some such purchases were made when he
was pressed for money for other purposes. At the time of his
death it embraced over VOO acres, a large portion of which was
woodland. The soil of the farm was not naturally fertile ; the
buildings only suc'h as the place necessarily required. It has now
passed out of the family name into other hands, havirig been
purchased for that purpose by parties who have since cut off the
wood and timber in which its chief value consisted.
After the farm, its cares and labors, came the school. He
entered Atkinson Academy in 1818. His teaeher, Mr. Vose, was
much distinguished in his profession. Pie removed to the charge
of the Academy at Hampton, N. H., whither Mr. Pingree accom-
panied him. Such was the modesty and propriety of the
demeanor of his pupil that the low grade of his studies at his
advanced age did not impair respect for him.
In Memory of
THOMAS PERKINS, ESQ.,
An eminent Merchant.
His Industry, Temperance and Enterprise
Raised him from Poverty to immense Wealtli,
Which he enjoyed without Pride
Or Ostentation, and dispensed with Justice
And JJcnevoloiice. He was diligent and
Eaithlid in IJusiness, pure in his Life and
Conversation; of a sound and vigorous Mind;
And of an Integrity and Fortitude which
Neither Prosperity nor Adversity could
Sliake or Corrupt.
He was an affectionate Son, and a kind Relative.
He was a Cliristian, above sectarian Prejudice;
And a man above Fear and viitliout Reproach.
He was born in Topstield,
April 2, 1758, and
Died Nov. '24, 1S30.
6Q THE PENGRY FAMILY.
Out of his attendance at school in Atkinson arose an event
which gave a color to the whole after life of Mr, Pingree.
Having passed without failure all tlie tests to which his faithful
monitor thought it requisite to subject him, he had now arrived
at the ultimate end proposed by them, his entrance into mercan-
tile life at Salem. He began in the counting-room of Michael
Shepard, Esq., himself an emineut merchant, and confidential
agent of Thomas Perkins in the management of his estate.
The commerce of Salem for many years held a distinguished
place among the ports of the country. Its merchants opened
and had long carried on nearly the whole trade between the
United States and the East Indies. These and other similar
enterprises had given them wealth and inspired them with a
spirit of adventure. Their voyages were not mere competitions
in some beaten track, but often extended to new and hitherto
unvisited ports, and to harbors whose names were written for the
first time in the owner's orders to the captain of the vessel. The
generation of merchants then in activity was composed mainly of
those who had grown old in such enquiries and pursuits. Their
genius for discovery had been aroused in their youth; it had
stimulated their earliest aspirations, and guided and influenced
their whole lives. They were full of the knowledge gained from
masters and supercargoes, among whom it was a part of duty to
secure such information.
This youth from the country was brought into rivalry with
persons so qualified and accomplished in commercial pursuits.
How long will he sustain himself? He knows not how to plan a
voyage, or how to make selections to suit the business of any
port, or what to seek or expect as a return cargo.
He learned from Mr. Shepaixl the modes and forms of business
and trade. He was at the same time engaged in the sale, on
commission, of flour, grain and provisions on account of southern
dealers. In this time he had an interest in two small vessels
trading between South America and Salem. His position brought
him into a practical acquaintance with trade and the elements of
commerce. Intei'course with merchants furnished him with their
ideas, their judgments, and modes of thinking an<i reasoning. —
How he availed himself of these advantages is shown when the
increase of his means enabled him to enter upon his real com-
mercial career.
The success of David Pingree in the line of life for which he
had been so many years silently but constantly preparing him,
became the absorbing interest of Capt. Perkins. When his pat-
ronage of his nephew was avowed, he removed from Topsfield to
Salem for observation and counsel. He died, as already stated,
in 1830. By his will, after providing for other relatives, he made
David residuary legatee, and thus heir to about one-half of the
whole estate. With such resources at his command, Mr. Pingree
proceeded to enlarge his commei'cial o^jerations. The space
SIXTH GENERATION. 6*7
which can here be afforded does not admit of detail; a single
instance must suffice.
Tlie latest geographical authorities of the coast north of Zan-
zibar in 1830 were three centuries old. So late as 1822 to 1826
two ships of the British navy were sent by the government on
voyages of discovery to the eastern coast of Africa. In 1835 two
vessels of the same navy, the Lever and the Barracouta, performed
voyages of discovery to Africa and Arabia.
An early adventure by Mr. Pingree was the loading and des-
patch of a vessel to Zanzibar. But few American vessels had
previously visited that port. The reigning Sultan claimed domin-
ion over 3000 miles of sea coast. He was an enlightened ruler.
His reign will form an era in the civilization of his countr}'. The
Sultan saw at once the benefit that would result to himself from
encouraging foreign commerce. Upon the opening of trade
between the two nations, he adopted a tariff favoring Americans.
He signaled his regard for Mr. Pingree by sending to him the
gift of two Arabian horses in charge of two of his subjects.
In some of the voyages made to the country portions of the
retui-n cargo were reshipped to England. It was stated in the
Edinburgh Review that the merchants of London did not know
what was the place of their produce, and could not account for
their being found in American bottoms.
Among the importations of these voyages were large quantities
of ivory. This was in part sold to a manufacturer, in Connect-
icut, of articles made of this material, on such terms as greatly
eidarged the profits to which they had been accustomed. These
customers gratefully acknowledged their obligations to the liber-
ality of Mr. Pingree by the gift of a heavy ivory cane made
from a single tooth, bearing an inscription highly honorable to
him.
His commercial operations at d'fferent times embraced voyages
and shipments to various ports in the West Indies; in South
America, to Cayenne, Kio Grande, Montevideo, and other ports;
on the west coast of Africa, to the Cape de Verde Islands, Goree,
Sierra Leone and points further south; on the east coast of Africa,
to Madagascar and Zanzibar; to the Arabian ports, Aden and
Muscat; to Canton in China, from which place he made large
importations of teas in return for Mexican silver coin; to Batavia,
Bombay, Manila, and other East Indian ports.
He owned at one time between four and five thousand tons of
shipping.
There is no doubt that the study of orders under which his
vessels sailed would furnish interesting materials towards a his-
tory of American commerce. When he entered upon his career
he resolved to retire from it when he became fifty years old. —
W^hen he carried this resolution into effect it excited the regret
of all classes, and especially of the mercantile community.
Capt. Perkins held to the old time prejudice against banks.
68 THE PEN GEY FAMILY.
Hence little of his wealth was invested in their shares, Mr.
Pingree early discovered the many advantages arising from having
the control of banking facilities. In this view he proposed a new
bank in Salem. This led to the establishment of the "Nanmkeag
Bank," incorporated in 1832, with a capital of 1200,000, increased
in 1836 to $500,000. He was its president during his life. This
corporation has always been prosperous, and has hitherto enjoyed
the full confidence of the public. It was almost a necessity to
its founder. The new aveiuies of trade, and its new subjects
wliich he introduced, brought fresh applicants for credit, to some
of whom loans in some form were indispensable, and when obtained
operated as an encouragement, and led to providing the means of
repayment. The bank was an aid to all these parties. It pro-
moted equally domestic trade and foreign commerce.
For another preserver of its population and weakh, and a
stimulus to its industry, Salem is mainly indebted to Mr. Pingree
in his lead and labors in the establishment of the Naumkeag
factory. He treated the undertaking to build this mill as if it
was his own individual enterprise, and all others treated it in the
same manner. Its entire dii-ection was with him. Its complete-
ness, its adaptation and its thoroughness were all secured by his
ovei'sight. Its details, numerous as they were, and the sum of
the whole of them, were suited to his capacity. His attention
could contain and his judgment guide every part of the construc-
tion. The whole of the vast structure, and all its contents and
their operation were clearly in his mind long before they were
combined in the edifice. The confidence felt in his ability pre-
vented controversy or obstruction, and secured all needed capital.
He began and ended, its President. It is no injustice to any one
to say that, successful as it was, his control led to its prosperity;
yet it was all new woi-k to him. He came to Salem an advocate
for free trade. He knew nothing of cotton or woolen factories.
His learning and his practice in them were the same operation.
The early recollections of Mr. Pingree led him at all times to
give some attention to the timber lands of Maine. These had
been for some years the subject of ignorant and therefore of rash
speculations,. which had now ceased. Their titles were left to
repose in the hands where they happened to be held. They were
no longer the subject of general inquiry. There were sellers, but
few buyers. Perhaps it would be safe to say these had wholly
disappeared. There were many sellers from necessity; they were
such as had bought merely to sell, and had not the means to
enable them to hold. The titles had become intricate and com-
plicated. The record sometimes even described premises which
had no existence. Still there w^as embraced here a great and
substantial value; but it was to be eliminated out of chaos.
Here was a field for the exercise of mind, of skill and patience,
as well as of great caution. Necessity for everj^ kind of enquiry
was presented. As already suggested, it was first to be made

certain that any such premises existed. Then to distinguish
between such as were valuable and such as had none or very
small value. Then to settle the title. His first purchase was
made in 1841, and in succeeding years he continued to buy largely.
Meanwhile he was constantly reducing his shipping interests,
until in the year 1848 he relinquished that biisiness entirely. If
his retirement from commercial pursuits was intended to relieve
him from the cares of business, it was far from bringing about
the desired result.
The proper management of the timber lands which he had
obtained was no easy matter. Left to themselves they would
have been subject to the depredations of others, wdiile yielding
no return to their owner. Surveys had to be made; lumbering
operations encouraged and provided for; the internal waters of
the State improved for the floating of logs; booming privileges
secured for holding the logs, and mills for sawing them. In
many instances it became necessary to obtain legislative authority
to act. In all these matters Mr. Pingree exhibited his usual
energy and sagacity.
He also became interested in iron-mining and other enterprises,
the managemeni and responsibility of wdiich devolved upon him
to a greater extent than he could have anticipated.
But all these cares would have been easily borne by him had
he not become involved in financial difficulties, to extricate him-
self from which required the long continued exertion of all the
talents he possessed, and filled the last fifteen years of his life
with labor, care and anxiety.
He had bought largely of timber lands for permanent invest-
ment. Through still further additions to them he sought a
release from his difficulties. At the time of his decease his
estate was heavily burdened with debt ; nevertheless, he had suc-
ceeded in rescuing it from many of the complications in which it
had become involved.
He was chosen Presidential elector in 1849. He was elected
mayor of Salem in 1851. He was President of the Essex Rail-
road, and also of the Salem and Danvers Aqueduct.
Salem has had many public spirited, and for its numbers not a
few great men. It would not be easy to point to the name of
one of whom it could be proved that the obligations of the city
are greater to him than they are to David Pingree.
He spent no nights or days in political pursuits, but he was a
steady supporterof the Union and Constitution. He was never
wanting in the performance of duty such as in his place it be-
longed to a good citizen to render.
He acquired the rare faculty of concentrating his thoughts on
a subject, and holding them there at his will. He thought much,
deeply and earnestly. He did not allow his reason to be disturbed
by fancies, by imagination, passion or by any form of falsehood.
He subjected all his powers to plain fact and pure reason; not to
VO THE PENGRY FAMILY.
such reasons as might first present themselves, hut to such as
would come when often summoned from the very bottom of the
well of truth, and could bear every test of judgment.
Thus, though the most modest of the members, he was certain
to become the leader in every enterprise which he joined. A
secondary position was never assigned to liim.
He was pre-eminently a mnn of business, a merchant of integ-
rity, broad views and untiring industry. Idleness and idle
amusements had no attractions for him. Slighting no duty him-
self, he expected and required of those in his employ a zealous
and faithful performance of their work. He never measured
moral worth by material prosperity; but treated all with the
respect to wliich their characters entitled them. He never neg-
lected his duties to others, or to the corporations over which he
presided through all his varying fortunes.
He passed through many trials and was involved in conflicting
interests ; in them his integrity was always vindicated. To
others struggling in business he not unfrequently rendered assist-
ance, and for them assumed responsibilities, sometimes to the
detriment of his own interests; hence arose misfortunes wliich he
would not otherwise have experienced.
In person he was well formed and proportioned, full six feet in
height, with a finely shaped head, and a face of singular manly
beauty. In the latter part of his life he contracted a stoop of
his shoulders and a demeanor of apparent unconsciousness, not
unusual in persons often subjected to severe mental exertion.
His manner w'as so mild that it bore the air of meekness. He
was modest and giave, but no one more enjoyed humor or cheer-
ful conversation.
He died at his home in Salem, March 31, 1863, aged 67 years,
3 months.

The following list of voyages made by Mr. Pingree's vessels,
although not complete, will suffice to show the extent of his com-
mercial ventures. In many instances the vessels made voyages
to various jjorts before returning homewards; in such cases, only
one point of destination is here given.
In addition to the management of his uwn vessels, he w^as at
the same time receiving consignments from others, and doing a
general commission business.

Mary, daughter of Asa Pingree and Annar Perkins, was born
March 13, 1801; married to Nathan W. Hazen, Oct. 1830. There
was born alive no child of the marriage. She early became a
member of the church in Rowley of which Rev. Isaac Braman
was pastor.
72 THE PENGRY FAMILY.
In this record of the name of Pingree it is pleasing to state that
no one held it in higher respect, or more jealously guarded its honor.
Of the family of her father she formed the common bond. She was
the first to make sacrifices; the last to present claims. Indeed the
happiness she sought was that reflected from the contemplation of
what she conferred upon others. In many traits of character, she
was like her brother, David Pingree. In all she was an honor and
an ornament to her connexions. Her life was guided by the virtues
and adorned by the graces which form the image of the Christian
lady.
(227) IV. Hon. Thomas ^Perkins" Pingree, for many years a
well known and highly respected merchant of Salem,
Essax County, Massachusetts, was born in New
Rowley, now Georgetown, July 24, 1803, at the
Hazen farm, so called, and died December .29, 1864,
at Wenham in the same county.
His father was Asa Pingree, a farmer, who married Annar
Perkins, March 17, 1795; (daughter of Moses Perkins and Annar
his wife, whose maiden name was Cummings) she was born May
31, 1771, and died June 9, 1853. With the New England custom
to combine, for a better support, some handicraftsman's trade with
farming, shoe making was carried on by him with the farm at
New Rowley until his removal to Bridgton in Maine; where he
built a saw and grist mill, conducting them successfully for several
years until his return to New Rowley, where he resided till his
death, April 24, 1834; his wife, who survived him, was a woman
of more than ordinary character, possessed of very keen percep-
tions, great firmness and decision, with many of the family char-
acteristics that marked her brother, Thomas Perkins, as one of
Salem's most distinguished and successful merchants.
Their children were —
David, Annar, Mary, Thomas Perkins, Asa.
Thomas Perkins Pingree, besides the educational advantages of
farmers' boys, was placed for study with the Rev. Isaac Braraan
of New Rowley, (the father of Rev. Milton P. Braman of Danvers,)
and after that was at North Andover Academy two years, and
then at Hampton Academy in New Hampsliire.
In 1819 he entered the counting-room of Hon. Michael Shepard
in Salem, (who had been the confidential clerk and friend of his
uncle, Thomas Perkins, and one of the trustees of his will at his
death,) it is probable that the high character and business sagac-
ity of Mr. Shepard, liis great amiability and charitable and
religious views had much influence in shaping and developing
his future; — here he remained till 1826, when he entered into
mercantile business for himself at Union VVliarf in Salem, receiv-
ing a legacy at the death of his uncle Thomas Perkins of forty
thousand dollars.
SIXTH GENERATION. " 73
He married Abigail Garland of Danvers, July 17, 1828, who
was born June 17, 1802. She was the daughter of Capt. Nath'l
Garland and Lydia Jacoha his wife. Capt. Garland with his
family within a lew years thereafter removed to Baltimore, where
he entered into business as a commission merchant, continuing
therein, highly esteemed and moderately successful, till his death.
Mr. Pingree entered actively into-commercial business, and for
a long series of years stood in the front ranks of the mercantile
community of Salem. He was among the first to introduce the
large trade in rubber with South America, and prosecuted the
business with great energy and success, being perhaps the largest
importer of rubber for many years into this country. For several
years he was President of the Asiatic Bank in Salem, and one of
the most efficient officers of the Essex Insurance Company ; later
in life he was largely interested in the making of charcoal iron
by the Briggs Iron Co., at Lanesborough in Berkshire county,
Mass.
During his mercantile career his vessels visited all quarters of the
globe, and at the time of the gold discovery in California, the brig
Hannah, owned by himself and another, being on that coast, a
letter from the captain, (Henry Cheever,) giving the first inform-
ation thereof, and a wonderfully truthful account and estimate of
its vastness and the field it opened, was received, and the facts
made known to, at the time, an incredulous public. In his busi-
ness he was distinguished for his enterprise and energy, and his
firmness in the prosecution of a purpose was of the most determ-
ined character ; he was governed by the highest pi'inciples of hon-
or and integrity, and noted for his sympathy with and charity for
those overtaken by reverses in business; every one having busi-
ness relations with him was his friend ; his benevolence was of the
most generous character; liberal to all, he took more thought for
the interests of others than for his own, and attracted to him all
within the reach of his influence with an indissoluble affection.
Though an energetic business man, he was an ardent friend of
country life and out of door exercises ; he became quite attached
to hunting, and for many years keenly enjoyed fox hunting, hav-
ing at times twenty or moi-e fox hounds, and always making it en-
joyable, not only for himself, but for bis many friends. His love
of good horses was proverbial; never permitting it to degenerate
into racing, or being an attendant thereat, he was yet a keen lover
of a good horse, and the owner of many. For the last twenty
years of his life he spent his summers at Wenham, about seven
miles from Salem, where he had a beautiful farm which he greatly
enjoyed, to which at the close of his life he retired, and where he
died.
His domestic life was pure and simple, being a strict and rigid
disciplinarian, rather austere in his demeanor than otherwise, but
very attentive and considerate of the desires and happiness of those
about him, with a generous liberality ministering to every want

approved. Yet be perhaps made the mistake of being too mncb
feared in his ov/n family; possessing, as be did, so much that was
tender, sympathetic and generous in his nature, it was surprising
that even the rigid rule of his day should have produced so close
an adherent.
He at different times represented Salem in the House of Rep-
resentatives, and the County in the Senate of the State, being a
member of the House in 1833 and in 1850, and of the Senate in
1854. In politics a Whig, yet never a politician.
The Boston Courier of Jan. 2, 1865, contained the following
obituary notice of him. Published in the mercantile metropolis
of New England, it w^as no doubt a just tribute to his memory:
" We regret to record the decease of Hon. Thomas P. Pingree,
who died at Wenham on Thursday last, at the age of sixty-one.
For a long series of years he stood in the front ranks of the mer-
cantile community of Salem. He was distinguished for his deter-
mination, energy and enterprise, and was among the first to open
the trade in rubber with Para, which he continued till within a
few years of his death. In his business he was governed by the
highest principles of honor and integrity, and noted for his sym-
pathy with, and charity for, those whom misfortune overtook in
their business. It can be said of him, with truth, that every one
with whom he had business intercourse was his friend. He was
for many years President of the Asiatic Bank in Salem, and one
of the most efficient officers of the Essex Insurance Company. He
at different times represented Salem in the House of Representa-
tives, and the County in the Senate of the State. In his private
relations, and within the circle of his immediate friends, his noble
traits of character shone prominent. Generous and confiding to
a fault, he attracted to him all within the reach of his influence
with an indissoluble affection. There are few men in the commu-
nity whose loss will be more deeply and sincerely mourned.
(228) V. Asa," a younger brother of David and Thomas P., was
born in Bridgton, Maine, Feb. 25, 1807.
He was educated for a mercantile life, and joined
David in Salem for tlie purpose of entering upon it.
Upon trial, he did not find it adapted to his inclina-
tions. In the meantime Capt. Perkins had resumed
his residence on his farm in Topsfield, where in his
increasing infirmities he needed the aid and constant
society of a friend. At his request he took his abode
with him until his death. After the decease of his
uncle he fixed his residence upon the farm, and be-
came that most enviable of all characters, a content-
ed and independent farmer. He passed his life be-
tween books and agricultui-e, serving his family,
dispensing sound opinions, doing charitable offices,
and contributing in many ways to the support and

improvement of society. He declined town offices;
bo was chosen to the State Senate in 1843.
He married Mary Catharine, daughter of CoL John
Kilborn of Bridgton, Me. They had no issue. He
died June 28, 1869.
He was a person of quick perception, of fortitude,
and of great kindness. His conduct towards his
brother, David, in his vicissitudes, was a remarkable
instance of fraternal affection. In his cause he put
his whole property in risk, and for years often daily
rode to Salem to consult with, and to aid him. He
was single in his purposes, and, like his brothers,
clear and decided in his judgment. His will was
strong; he followed its dictates, regarding in his
course only truth and justice. Yet no cloud rests
upon his memory. There are few of the departed
of whose memory so many kind words have been
said by his contemporaries.

John McCusick of Denmark, Me. I cannot better
describe the family than by extracts from a letter
which I give below, written by their eldest daughter.
" My mother Kezia Pingree, was born in Hopkinton, N. H ,
Aug. 21, 1803 ; died in Denmark, Me., Nov. 3, 1863. She passed
her entire life in Denmark, except the first months of her infancy,
and a few terms at Fryeburg Academy. December, 1829, she
married John McCusick, (my father) a farmer, an honest, upright
man, possessed of strong, earnest piety. He deceased Dec. 1, 1873,
aged 72. My mother had a good education combined with a vig-
orous constitution and great activity, which made her a very use-
ful member of her father's large household, and a most kind
unwearied mother. She was a quiet, home-loving woman, which
was evidently her chosen sphere ; thougli occasions of sickness
and bereavement among relatives and neighbors brought her care,
sympathy and watching. There were two things in which, as a
mother, she excelled.
I, The help and direction too which she gave us in our early
education. I, as the eldest child, felt its influence, perhaps, more
than did my brothers, in consequence of the increasing cares of
home. Up to the age of twelve, she was my daily teacher, when
out of school. I commenced as many new books at home as at
school. She drilled me in each and all the branches I studied.
I think I commenced every branch under her tuition, and pursued
Natural Philosophy and Astronomy wholly under her instruction.
Indeed, the early habits of application I learned from my mother

have helped me in a long course of teaching, more than anght else
I have ever received.
II. Her unwearied care and watching when we were sick. Her
virtues : tell them not upon the tomb! They loved the shade of
lier own cpiiet home. Tiiese still in memory's fond dream survive.

liis intention to enter the army, " I do not do it, mother because I
am bloodthirsty, but feel it a duty to respond to the call of my
country."
He was the first of our family to volunteer. He was in the 9th
army corps, which saw hard service in various fields; finally, in
the siege before Petersburg, July 30, 1864, he was taken prisoner,
and died in military prison at Danville, Va., Feb. 6, 1865, from the
effects of long continued starvation. Age 27.

1864. He did good service as a soldier, endured much hardship,
which greatly impaired his health, so that in 1863 he came home
on a furlough, and was at home when his mother died. He re-
turned to his regiment, was taken fprisoner in the battle of the
Wilderness, May 12, 1864. He languished in military prison at
Belle Isle, in Libby and in the stockade at Salisbury, N. C., where
his strong ardent young life went out without a pillow or blanket
under a Christmas sky, not quite 21 years old.
His last letter to us at home written from Libby prison, con-
cluded with "I want to see you very much indeed, and hope I
shall some day," which my heart echoes to say, I expect to see
him in the Resurrection, for he was a Christian. He professed
religion and was baptized at the age of 12 years.
Brother J. Frank McCusick, was first a soldier, a Lieut, in a
Cavalry Regt. The last months of the war he was put on a Mil-
itary Commissioner Court Martial, Alexandria, a post which he fill-
ed creditably. My father was a man of strong patriotism, and in
his declining years gave his sons cheerfully to the country's call,
though he was pained at their sufferings. He was a man of good
habits, and blameless life, and by example and precept instilled
the love for and practice of morality into the hearts of his chil-
dren."
Miss McCusick's letter is so inspiring that I could not refrain
from copying it. w. m. p. -

From a St. Paul neiospaper Nov. 8, 1875, by a Red Wing Correspondent.
Death of Hon. J. F. Pingrey. It is a sad task to chronicle at
any time the death of a good man, but pre-erainently so when a
man of the charcteristics of this sketch.
Mr. Pingrey at the time of his death was 45 years of age, had
been a resident of Red Wing and its immediate vicinity for twen-
ty years, and in all these long years, as a man, citizen, officer and
soldier, he sustained an unblemished character, and a reputation
for honor and integrity that attaches to but few and is surpassed
by none. Mr. Pingrey united with the M. E. Church of this
city in 1864, and since that time he has given evidence that he
was a sincere Christian by an exemplary life and a firm adherence
92 THE PEXGRY FAMILY.
to the principles of Christianity, as taught in the Bible. His re-
ligion was of no selfish charactei', but "to do good as he had op-
portunitjV' was a cardinal virtue with him. He was a man of
iarge intelligence and sound principles; as a member of the board
of county commissioners of this county he assisted very materially
in bringing about reform in the financial matters of our county,
so that county orders were at par and good for what they called
for and has finally resulted in a merely nominal coujity tax. As
superintendent of public schools, he gave entire satisfaction, and
took a great interest in developing the best phases of our com-
mon school system.
As a member of the State Legislature he had the confidence of
his constituents, and respect of his feHow members of the House
of Representatives. As a Lieut, of the 6th Minnesota Infantry
he has a stainless record and an honored name. He early identi-
fied himself with the order of Patrons of Husbandry, and has
steadfastly been a staunch advocate of the principles of the order.
Being natui'ally inclined to agriculture, he last year purchased
and moved on to a farm in VVacouta, uniting with the Wacouta
Grange of which he was a member at the time of his death, and
which Grange is now one of the most flourishing in the state, and
to which his decease will be a sad blow. The severity of his loss
to his friends generally, and especially his family and relations
cannot be measured by words; that they have the sympathies of
the stricken community is evident from both words and actions of
his entire acquaintance. He leaves a wife and six children to
mourn his loss. May the widow's God comfort and sustain them,
and be a father to the fatherless. His death occurred on the mor-
ning of the 2nd inst. The disease, which rapidly did its work, was
erysipelas.

Darius Harlan Pingrey Avas born in Andover, New York, April
23, 1841. He is the sixth of a familj^ of seven children. His
parents have a long-descended ancestry, and are now living in
Andover on a farm. His father was thrown upon his own resources
at early age of thirteen, and is regarded as a man of great energy
and uprightness.
The subject of this sketch was brought up on the farm and
knows what the agriculturist has to do. His parents, appreciative
of mental culture, gave all their children a good English educa-
tion. Darius, however, was thought worthy of a more extended
training and for college, which he entered at seventeen. Though
his father assisted him financially to prosecute his studies, yet he
was obliged to do something toward completing the course, and
so he taught school in the winter and worked on the farm during
the summer vacations. While w^orking on the farm he learned
phonography at night, and, when teaching, he found time to pur-
sue some of the studies in the course and to keep up with his class.
94 THE PENGEY FAMILY.
He was graduated in 1863, and soon after was invited to take
charge of an academy in Pennsylvania, a position he filled to the
satisfaction of all concerned. As no opening or field for advance-
ment was presented by this position, he resigned it at the end of
a year and went to a business college in IJingliamton, New York.
While in that city he became acquainted with the late Daniel S.
Dickinson, who took a very warm interest in liim and gave him
the benefit of his powerful influence in various ways. On leaving
the commercial institute, young Pingrey was called to the posit-
ion of head teachei- in a business college at Reading, Pennsylvania,
and remained therein until appointed official reporter to the Penn-
sylvania Senate in 1806. This place he held but a short time, as
Messrs. Bryant and Slratton offered him the place of Principal
to their Harrisburg College under a local proprietor. While here
he issued a book entitled "The Practical Calculator, designed for
Business Men." This volume met with a ready sale aiul was
much valued.
The finances of this college becoming somewhat deranged, the
proprietor was obliged to sell his interest, and Mr. Pingrey then
went to Washington, D. C, taking with him a testimonial signed
by such men as Governor Curtin, Eli Slifer, then Secretary of State,
and others. In Washington he found employment as reporter to
the Senate. l4e went to work at the close of a Congressional
term when the reporters had to labor sixteen hours a day, Sunday
not excepted, to complete their transcripts of the ^proceedings.
This strain soon told on his physical strength. The alternative
was set before him by advisers: " Stimulate, or give up your situ-
ation." The teachings of his youth, the dictates of his conscience,
and the promptings of reason said " Resign," and he did so at
the sacrifice of a part of his salary. Then he traveled to the West,
and reached Illinois in the early summer of 1867, where he was
engaged as Principal of Farmington City schools. He taught in
Illinois until last May. His reputation as a teaclier stands high,
and he is known also by his writings on educational subjects.
His tact and talent in conducting a school is considered first-class.
His rule is gentle, aiming to treat his pupils as ladies and gentle-
men, and avoiding favoritism.
While teaching, he found much time to write for the press, and
has written for some of the leading periodicals of the country,
his subjects chiefly pertaining to departments of political econ-
omy. Some of his articles published in the Rural New Yorker
and Prairie Farmer have attracted more than local attention. He
has been a paid contributor to papers published in Salem, Oregon,
Omaha, Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and New
York. An article of his appeared in the Chicago Inter-Ocean
last winter, in which he stated that the public schools were not
in danger so much from the Roman Catholics as from the politi-
cians who try to make political capital in their relations to them.
In ISTi, the late editor of the Phrenological Journal, to which
SEVENTH GENERATION. 95
he has been a contributor, in a note to Mr. Fingrey encouraged
him to enter the field as a lecturer or public speaker. This sug-
gestion gave him fresh inspiration, and lie prepared a lecture on
''American Institutions," and made his debut in 1875. His suc-
cess has been much beyond the expectations of his friends. Some
newspapers have characterized his lectuieas a fine production, evin-
cing much research 'and scholarly ability rarely equaled." Last
winter he organized a "C'entennial Bui'eau of Correspondence,"
for the purpose of furnishing country papers letters from the Ex-
position. This undertaking was indorsed by the Chicago Times,
Inter-Ocean, Springfield, (Mass.) Republican, and many other pa-
pers. He went to Philadelphia at the opening of the Exposition
with a list numbering nearly fifty papers, representing ten states.
His patrons generally speak in favorable terms of his letters,
• which are florid in style, and evince a good degree of graphic
ability.
Mr. Pingrey was married in 1868 to Marion L. Harrington, daugh-
ter of the late M. G. Harrington of New York, formerly law -part-
ner Avith E. W. Stoughton of New York. She died in 1873, of con-
sumption, leaving one child of four yeai"s. She was a faithful
and loving Avife, a tender mother and Christian lady, ever earnest
in benevolent works according to her opportunity.

common schools; he then served an apprenticeship as a machinist
and pattern maker, and has gained honorable distinction as a first
class mechanic and inventor, which is demonstrated by the num-
erous medals and diplomas received by him. Among the pro-
ducts of his skill may be enumerated steam engines and machin-
ery, carriages, mills and machines for manufacturing lumber, and
he is the patentee and manufacturer of artificial limbs, which
have been pronounced by eminent surgeons as equal to, if not the
best in the world. In this department of compensatory art he
has distinguished himself and given excellent satisfaction. Al-
though a great practical worker, he has been a constant student in
the natural sciences, literature and music, which have been the
pastimes and delights of his life. These tendencies have been
largely manifested in his children.
From 1854 to 1861, Mr. P. was employed as a traveling general
agent of the Union Manufacturing Co., and the Maine Associa-
tion of the New Jerusalem Church, and thej American Sweden-
borg Printing and Publishing Society, and the American New
Church Association.
Among the more public activities in which he has been inter-
ested, were the military, in which he faithfully served out four
commissions, the last of which was as Aid-de-ecamp and orderly ofH-
cer of the 6th Division, Maine Militia. He is a life member of
the Maine Charitable Mechanic's Association, has been it [Secreta-
ry and one of its Trustees, its Vice President, and its President
two years. He is an Odd Fellow in both branches and a member
of the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of Maine, has been
Grand Marshal and Grand Senior Warden ; has been a member
of the Board of Managers of the Portland Provident Associa-
tion, and also of the Widow's Wood Society, and teacher of Vo-
cal Music in the Portland F'raternity, and also conductor of the
musical service in the New Jerusalem Church, Portland; and is
an honorary member of the Linonian Society of Yale College,
which is one of the oldest Literary Societies in this country ;
with the exception of Secretary's salary in three bodies, these
services have been rendered without compensation.
Morals and ethics and theology and the laws of life have been
interesting matters which have claimed his attention from an ear-
ly period. In theology he is a New Churchman or Swedenbor-
giaii and has been a member of its communion more than thirty
years. Political economy has engrossed his attention at certain
periods, and he has occasionally made his influence felt through
the press, but he has never been a politician in any professional
sense; has never held office except that of Coroner and Justice of
the Peace and Qorum, although he lias twice received the nomi-
nation for member of the Legislature, and twice as member of
the City Council, and in every case ran ahead of his ticket, yet

failed in consequence of belonging to a party that was in the
minority. Pie has always been a Democratic Republican of the
Jefferso'nian and Jacksonian type, and during the late war was a
war democrat. He was married to Elisabeth Marsh Dexter,
daughter of Dea. David Dexter of Bath, Me., at the age of 28;
they are the parents of nine children, as may be seen by the fami-
ly record in this work. Mr. L. F. P. is tall and erect with light
hair and blueish grey eyes, large and well proportioned without
corpulence, possessed of great physical energy and endurance, a
well balanced mind and average executive ability; is now 68 years
of age, and feels a deep interest in the success of genealogy and
history of the widely scattered family who are recognized by the
name of Pingree.
Mr. L. F. Pingree, now of Ferry village. Cape Elizabeth, has
been a resident of Portland, Me., thirty-tive years. His children
were educated in the public schools, and of his family one is a
civil engineer and has been in the service of the city nine years,
and is a graduate of the New York Homeopathic Medical College
and is a practicing physician, one is a trunk maker and merchant,
another a locomotive engineer, one a druggist's salesman, two
music teachers, one of whom is a graduate of the Conservatory
of Vocal Technique and physical development, her husband is a
wholesale druggist, one a wholesale and retail dealer in ladies'
furnishing goods, one a salesman and commercial traveler, and one
a teacher of organ and piano, her husband is a ship master, the
others are wives and mothers. All are in active, useful employ-
ments.
Mrs. Elizabeth M. D. Pingree, wife of L. P. Pingree and
daughter of Dea. David Dexter of Bath, Me. She was educated
in the public schools of Bath and became a teacher at an early
age. Although a domestic and good wife, and mother of a large
family, to whom she has devoted the principal energies of her life,
yet she has cultivated a taste for literature, art, and music, which
have been the means of elevating the standard of education and
culture in the Pingree Family.

(864) George Pengra was a member of the militia com-
pany at Bennington, Vt. in 1764. His name was
written by Gov. Hall, " Pengry." In 1782, the
Journal of the House of Representatives has the
following:
State of Vermont in General Assembly, )
February 27, 1782. \
Resolved, That the Treasurer be and is hereby directed to pay
unto the heirs of Nath'l Fuller late a prisoner in Canada, deceas-
ed, the sum of fourteen pounds sixteen shillings and six-pence be-
ing the wages due and articles lost by said Fulle)-; and to heirs
of George Pengra late a prisoner in Canada, deceased, the sura of
eleven pounds fourteen shillings being wages due and articles lost
by said Pengra when taken."
Extract from the Journal by Ros. Hopkins, Clerk. Manuscript
Journal in Secretary of State's Office, page 382.
I think George Pengra was a son or grandson of Moses Pengry
of the third generation, of whom I learn nothing after 1709.
(865) James Pingry, was a soldier of the Revolution five
years; was a blacksmith; after the close of the
war moved to Lyme or Hanover, N. IL, near the
line of the towns. Was probably a brother or
cousin of George Pengra (864.) His grand daugh-
ter living at Stowe, Vt., says her father James Pin-
gry, was born in Tolland, Conn. I have written the
town clerk of Tolland, who has examined the records
and does not find the name there. My uncle Stephen
Pingrey, born in Rowley in 1759, told me in 1825,
that he liad understood there was a family of Pin-
gry's in Conn, but knew nothing of them.
(866) Moses Pengra was son of George, (864) b. at Ben-
nington or Shaftsbury, Vt. As to the time of his
birth or death I have no information. He was mar-
ried and had children.

Plymouth, removed to Norwich, Vt. He was in the
army and the war of 1812; was wounded at Fort Erie.

through nearly the whole time of the war; was twice
married.

Died August 10, 1881, at the residence of John Miller, in Wal-
lingford, Vt., Mrs. Eusebia Dickerman, widow of O. B. Dicker-
man, aged 86 years.
The deceased was the daughter of Nathaniel Pingrey, one of
the early settlers of Mount Holly, in which she was born and
where most of her life was passed. She married O. B. Dickerman
in 1819, and they lived together for sixty years, he preceding her
to the heavenly rest by nearly two years. They were both per-
sons of great industry and prudence, and she proved to be the
true helpmeet in all the years of active life. Most of those who
18
138 THE PE>rGET FAMILY.
were the companions of her early life have passed away, but
many of her old friends and neighbors, as they read of her death,
will be reminded of deeds of kindness and true neighborlj'- love.
She was one who delighted in giving where any service could be
rendered to those who were in sickness or other need. Kind,
thoughtful, judicious, she M^as much esteemed by those who came
into the closest contact with her life and best knew its self-deny-
ing efforts. Some twelve years since she, with her companion,
caine to Wallingford to reside with her daughter, the wife of John
Miller. For most of these years she has been a confirmed invalid,
compelled to remain in repose from active labors in which she had
always found delight. Patiently her daughter and family minis-
tered to her every want, and all was done that could be to make
her comfortable and render more endurable the enforced inactiv-
ity.
More than 50 years ago she united with the Baptist church in
Mount Holly, and maintained that connection till-her death. It
was in the days of the pastorate of Rev. Daniel Packer that she
made her public profession of religion, and for him she retained
the warmest admiration. As a Christian Mrs. Dickerman was
quiet and unostentatious, but faithful and humble.
The only surviving child is Mrs. Miller, above mentioned — a
son having died nearly 12 years since. Two brothers, Darius
Pingrey of Boston and Asahel Pingrey, residing in Iowa, are all
that survive of 12 brothers and sisters. As one by one those of
the older day are borne to their rest, there comes the reminder of
how few of that generation remain, and of the many changes
which come to o^^r lives. May it be said of us, as it truthfully
can be of Mrs. Dickerman, that she died in the hope of a blissful
immortality.
Funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon, Rev. S.
Henry Archibald officiating.
APPENDIX.
A LONG LIVED FAMILY.
The following is from a Newburyport paper, July ISSl, rela-
tive to Hon. Solomon Foster, mentioned in No. 74.
Ex-Judge Solomon Foster to-day reached his 91st birthday in
good ihealth and with prospects of many years ahead of him.
Judge Foster was born in Ipswich, Essex county, Massachusetts,
on the 22d of July, 1790, and is the oldest of the four brothers
and a sister living.. Very early in life, he left home for New-
buryport, where he remained for some time. In the spring of
1818 he came to Reading, where for 18 years he was was engag-
ed in the shoe business with a gentleman named O'Brien under
the firm name of Foster & O'Brien. He then went to Philadel-
phia where he carried on the shoe and other business fo* eight
years. In the meantime, in 1840, he had come to Pottsville, and
erected the building No. 20 South Centre street, Pottsville. About
1845 and 1846 he came here and located permanently and until
five or six years ago was engaged in the shoe business. In the
year 1840, when the Court House agitation was in progress he
was appointed upon the committee of citizens to prosecute the
work. In order to get this made a county town the people of
Pottsville had to erect the Court House building; subscriptions
were taken up and handled by the committee mentioned, which
made Judge Foster paymaster and 'superintendent. In 1849 he
was appointed Associate Judge of the county, and the following
year was elected for a term of live years. Since' 1748 he has been
an elder in the Frst Presbyterian church, but long before that
date was an influential member of it. His faculties remain unim-
paired and his recollection of the events of over half a century
ago are vivid. He has an elastic step, enjoys a good appetite, and
regularly attends to his business. Mr. Foster was never married.
The long, honored and useful life he has led in this community
entitles him to the respect and esteem in which he has been held
by everybody, and all will join the Ohronicle in hoping that he
may at least attain his centenary to which he is so raj^idly pro-
gressing.— Pottsville, Penn.^ Chrouicle, July 22, 1881.
Judge Foster is the oldest of a family of five, three of whom
reside in this city, their names and ages being as follows: Milicent,
86; Nathaniel, 84; Thomas, 82. Two brothers reside in Potts-
ville, Solomon, the one referred to, aged 91; and Jesse, aged 89.
This is one of the most remarkable records which can be found of
any family in the country; four brothers and a sister, the young-
est of whom is 82 years old is hard to beat.

OLD AND NEW STYLE.
Pao-e 406. The manner of writing dates when this country was
first settled was by numbering the months. This prac-
tice prevailed in Rowley until about the year 16G0.
March was the first month and February the twelfth.
The 25th of March being Lady day or Annunciation
of the church, was the first day of the year. After
numbering the months was discontinued, still the year
commenced with the 25th of March and so continued
until 1752. From this cause arose the custom of in-
dicating the change by the use double dates, between
the first of January and the 25th of March in each
year.

GENEALOGICAL HISTORY
OF THE
ANDREW PINGREE FAMILY,
BY
DANIEL PINGREE, M. D.,
OF
PINGREE GROVE, KANE CO., ILLINOIS.
July 27, 1880.
Andrew Pixgree (my father) was born in Rowley, Mass., Feb.
17,1775. Died March 25, 1846. In early manhood he followed
the boot and shoe manufacturing business in some town not far
from the place of his birth and was foreman of quite a large
amount of business. He was leader of a choir in an orthodox
church where he lived, delighting very much in not only vocal
but instrumental music. He was not a bigot in his religious
views, but in early life was inclined to think there must be a hell
for the desperately wicked. Was not a very regular attendant
at church, but spent his Sundays at home, reading his Bible and
singing, resting from all the usual labors of the week. One year,
within my recollection, (perhaps rather as a joke, as he seldom
attended church,) he was elected Tithingman, and attended at
the post of duty every Sunday during the year. Never before
were the unruly boys so strictly subjected to the rules of New
England " blue laws." Once, only, in the course of his official
term and duty did a smile break the dignity of his countenance.
An ixnruly boy, full of fun and the devil, seating himself in
church beside his dignity, pulled a large knife and a plug of to-
bacco from his pocket and politely offered them to the peace
officer of the day, who never used the poison. The act was done
so deliberately and with such apparent kindness, that the courtesy
was acknowledged with an "unwilling smile!"
He married Abiah Straw (my mother) of Weare, N. H., about
the year 1802, lived in Weare, Springfield, Grantham, and Meri-
den in Plainfield, N. H. Removed to Kane Co., Illinois, in Octo-
ber, 1838, with his family. The place is now called Pingree .
Grove, Farming was mainly his business here. He was indus-
trious, economical, temperate and strictly honest. Was a demo-
crat all his life and died a Universalist, the 25th of Mai'ch, 1846;
was buried at Udina, neav his home. Age 79.
T52 THE AISTDREW PINGREE FAMILY.
Abiah Straw, who became his wife, (ray mother) wa?. born in
the town of Weare, N, H., Aug. 8, 1786. Her father's Christian
name was Israel and her mother's maiden name was Abiah Nel-
son. Some of the relatives live in that vicinity now, of whom I
know but little. She was a Universalist and one of the best of
women. Died Sept. 28, 1846, aged 58 years and was buried at
Udina. She was the mother of ten children, named as follows,
viz: Andrew, Straw, Abiah, Francis, Betsey, (died young) Sally,
Emily, Daniel, Betsey Noyse, and William Cutler. The above is
the order of the births in which I will write of them.
Rev. Andrew Pingree (my brother) was born in Weare, N.
H., July 16, 1803. Soon after removed to Springfield and the other
towns named, with his parents. Learned the clothier's trade at
about 21 years of age and also commenced teaching winter public
schools about the same time. Continued to teach winters and
follow his trade and attend school at Kimball Union Academy at
Meriden, N. H., till the spring of 1827, when he removed to Hing-
ham, Mass. For a number of years he continued to teach, some-
times all the year, at other times only winters, spending the bal-
ance of his time clerking in mercantile houses, &c., and studying
for the Universalist ministry with Rev. A. A. Folsom of Hing-
ham, Mass., until about the year 1834 or 5; having up to this
time taught school in a number of the towns of the vicinity of
Hinghara, and although he was quite successful in all his under-
takings, he was particularly so in North Scituate, for there he
became acquainted v/ith the one who afterwards became his wife.
About 1834, he commenced preaching the Gospel and soon re-
moved to Belfast, Maine, and in connection with preaching every
Sabbath two or three times, he taught a High School in Belfast
and also in Castine, Me., for a number of years, having in Oct.
1838 visited Kane Co., 111., and located some land which he con-
tinued to own during his lifetime. On his return from Illinois
to Maine he continued to preach and teach till the fall of 1843,
when, not forgetting the attachment he formed in North Scituate,
Plymouth Co., Mass., he returned to the object of mutual attrac-
tion and on Jan. 1, 1844, married Miss Hannah M. Curtis. Re-
mained in Scituate until Sept. 1, 1846, and removed to Pingree
Grove, Kane Co., 111., with his wife, and ever after made that his
permanent home. He preached and taught school one year in
St. Charles, Kane Co., 111., and continued to preach till press of
other business made it necessary to retire mainly from the duties
of the ministry, except on jfuneral occasions and celebrating mar-
riages.
During the balance of his life he filled many important po-
sitions which, in addition to his own affairs, made his mental
and physical exertions very laborious. He became the owner of
1200 or 1500 acres of land and considerable other property. Was
elected, and several times re-elected County Surveyor, and did
surveying in every town and village in the county, was for 18

valuable donations. He was a life long democrat and Universal-

No. (289) Eunice Abigail Sanderson, m. Edward Lawtou July 1, 1878;
d. Feb. 9, 1879. " She took upon herself the holy vows of religion, and
united with the Baptist church August 3, 1866. She was joined in
marriage with Mr. Edward Lawton, July 1, 1878; they were happily situ-
ated in their new home and had the liindest wishes of all for their pros-
perity. She was a member of Cold Brook Lodge, No. 80, I. 0. G. T., and
took an active part in its work, holding important offices in its adminis-
tration. Slae had a large circle of friends and was respected and beloved
by all who knew her. A large number of relatives and friends assembled
at her late residence to attend the funeral services which took place on
Tuesday. The deepest sympathy is felt for those touched most deeply by
this grief, and in particular for the devoted husband and mother, who are
stricken indeed. A pall of gloom is thrown over the community. The
dear, kind, active little woman will be missed everywhere. Twenty-six
years a dutiful daughter ; nearly twelve years a faithful Christian ; seven
shoiii months a loving wife ; now forever with the Lord."
No. (313) Clara A. Raymond, daughter of Benjamin and Lydia Almeda
Raymond, d. June 9, 1881, aged 23 years and 13 days.
