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- 


4  THE   PENGET   FAMILY. 

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 
my  estate  for  her  use  and  benefit  while  she  liveth;  unless  it  please 
lier  to  marry  again  and  then  it  is  to  be  to  the  parties  I  have  here- 
after bequeathed  it  to,  only  ten  pounds  wliich  my  executors  shall

pay  her  out  of  ray  moveable  estate ;  fifty  shillings  unto  ray  wife 
her  son  Jno,  Starkweather;  fourty  shillings  to  Sarah  Branscomb. 

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 
raentioned  vizt,  Moses,  Aaron  and  John  Pengry  my  executors  to 
this  my  last  will  and  testament  to  desire  my  beloved  brother 
Moses  Pengry  and  loving  friend  Nehemiah  Jewett  to  be  my  over- 
seers to  this  my  will  and  intreat  to  see  my  wife  have  what  I  have 
given  her,  and  each  cousin  their  proportion  as  it  is  above  expreat: 

In  confirmation  of  this  ray  last  will  I  hereby  revoak  all  other

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."

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.

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.

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.

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;

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 


SIXTH    GENERATION.  69 

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

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. 
The  best  of  mothers  ;  the  best  of  wives. 

This  letter  is  dated  July  21,  1875. 

"Our  family  consisted  of  6  children  :  m3'Self, 

1.  Roxana  J.  McCusick,  aged  44  ;  reside  in  Parkersburg,  W. 
Va. ;  engaged  for  many  years  in  teaching  ;  for  some  9  years. 

2,  Rev.  J.  Frank  McCusick,  Parkersburg,  W.  Va.  (Baptist.) 
He  is  a  graduate  of  Waterville  College,  (now  Colby  University.) 
He  is  an  energetic  and  active  man,  bringing  his  habits  of  close 
study  and  itvestigation  down  to  the  present.  Age  39  ;  m. ;  has 
five  dai;ghters. 

3  &  4.  Benjamin  F.  and  Ephraim,  twins.  Benjamin  F.  McCu- 
sick lives  in  Portland,  Me.,  blacksmith.  He  is  a  Christian,  giving 
close  attention  to  business;  an  industrious,  charitable  citizen.  He 
volunteered  to  serve  in  the  army  in  the  war.  Age  37.  He  m.  Cath- 
arine Elliott,  at  Portland  in  1864.  No  children.  They  have  an 
adopted  daughter.  Ephraim  McCusick,  twin,  enlisted  in  9th  N. 
H.  Infantry,  Co.  A.  He  was  24  years  old;  had  not  completed  his 
education.  In  a  letter  home  in  June,  1862,  he  said,  in  announcing 
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. 

He  possessed  a  well  disciplined  mind,  good  habits,  was  a  Chris- 
tian— member  of  the  Baptist  church.  His  officers  spoke  in  com- 
mendable terms  of  his  excellent  life  in  the  army;  brave,  patriotic 
and  conscientious,  always  showed  his  Christianity  by  his  manner 
of  life,  through  all  that  time  in  camp,  having  prayer  in  his  tent, 
whoever  might  be  his  companions.     Not  married. 

5.  Rev.  Hazen  Pingree  McCusick  of  California,  (Baptist,)  35 
years  old.  Graduate  of  Waterville  and  Newton  in  1869,  has  been 
a  pastor  in  Illinois,  but  his  health,  always  delicate,  required  him 
to  change  his  home,  first  to  the  Rocky  Mountains  in  Wyoming, 
afterwards  to  California  where  he  finds  a  most  healthful  climate 
among  the  mountains.  He  has  led  a  studious  life.  He  was  m.  to 
Miss  Flora  McKinnon  of  Marysville,  California,  Dec.  25,  1873. 
No  children.  He  was  converted  at  the  age  of  16,  j)ursued  his 
entire  academic  and  collegiate  course  with  the  ministry  in  view. 

Rev.  J.  Frank  McCusick  of  Parkersburg,  W.  Va.,  married  Miss 


80  THE      PENGRY      FAMILY. 

Emma  J.  Robinson,  Warren,  Me.,  1862.     He  was  converted  to 
God  at  the  age  of  21.     His  children  are 
Linnie  R.  12. 
Hattie  W.  8. 
C.  Robertie,  6. 
EUaF.  4. 
Irene  Achsah,  infant. 

6.  Asa  A.  McCusick,  b.  1844.  Entered  the  army  at  the  age  of 
18,  with  his  brother  Ephraim,  9th  N.  H.  Co.  A.,  and  perished  of 
slow  starvation  in  military  prison  at  Salisbury  N.  C.,  Dec.  25, 
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."

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.

From  the,  Phrenolugical  Journal  for  Nov.  1876. 

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.

Stephen  Pingree,  son  of  Samuel  Elliott  P.,  and  grandson  |of 
Job  P.,  was  born  in  Methuen,  Mass.,  in  1751,  and  was  married  to 
Ruth  Hoyt,  Sept.  21,  1773.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  of  Inde- 
pendence and  served  under  Washington  at  Long  Island;  he  moved 
to  Chester,  N.  H.,  where  some  of  his  children  were  born;  his  fam- 
ily consisted  of  one  daughter  and  seven  sons.  In  1808,  he  with 
his  whole  family  moved  to  Norvvay,  Me.,  and  w^as  with  his  sons, 
settled  in  one  neighborhood  which  they  reclaimed  from  the  wilder- 
ness. The  father  and  sons  were  tall  and  sturdy  men,  and  were 
all  agriculturists,  and  three  also  were  mechanics.  He  was  a 
man  of  more  than  average  ability  and  served  the  public  in  vari- 
ous responsible  callings.  He  Avas  a  Whig  in  polities,  and  a  Meth- 
odist of  the  early  type.  He  and  his  wife  both  died  at  the  age  of 
87  years. 

HoYT  Pingree,  son  of  Stephen  Pingree,  was  born  in  Manches- 
ter, N.  H.,  May  1789,  and  served  a  regular  apprenticeship  with  a 
farmer,  and  in  1801  moved  to  Norway,  and  married  Sarah  Turner 
of  Durham,  Me.  They  were  the  parents  of  nine  sons  and  three 
daughters;  at  a  late  period  they  moved  to  Waterford,  Me.,  where 
he  died  in  June,  1865,  and  she  in  1876.  Hoyt  Pingree  was  a  sol- 
dier in  the  war  of  1812.  Politically  he  was  a  Whig  until  the 
formation  of  the  Republican  party,  when  he  became  a  Democrat. 
He  Avas  a  man  of  strong  religious  tendencies  ;  never  a  member 
of  a  church,  but  a  believer  at  his  death  in  the  doctrines  of  the 
New  Church,     His  wife  was  a  Congregationalist. 

Luther  Farrar  Pingree,  grandson  of  Stephen  Pingree  of 
Methuen,  Mass.,  and  son  of  Hoyt  Pingree  of  Norway,  Maine,  was 


EIGHTH    GENERATION.  125 

born  in  Norway,  Oxford  Co.,  Me.,  May  25,  1813.  He  was  until  his 
majority,  employed  In  agricultural  pursuits  and  attending  the 
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.

Shaftsbury,  Vt.,  moved  to  Pennsylvania  and  died  there 
some  thirty  years  since.  I  saw  at  that  time  a  biograph- 
ical sketch  of  him  in  a  newspaper,  in  Avhich  he  was 
spoken  of  in  favorable  terms,  as  a  useful  citizen,  and  a 
Christian.

The  last  gun  fired  there  sent  a  ball  into  his  breast.  It 
was  taken  out  of  his  back,  an  ounce  ball.  He  lived 
from  fall  till  April  1815,  when  he  died.  He  served 
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;

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

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."

Raymond,  d.  June  9,  1881,  aged  23  years  and  13  days.
