PREFACE
In the literary construction of this book I have endeavored
to use my best knowledge of the subject.
The material, in manuscript form, collected by my brother,
C. C. Lord, I found to be in a disconnected shape, and in pre-
paring it for publication, I have endeavored to preserve my
brother's intention. Owing to the incompleteness of ancient
records there may be mistakes in the lineage of some of the
branches of the Lord family.
Whatever there is of merit in this book I want credited to
my brother. Many thanks on my part are due the sons and
daughters of Nathan Lord for the hearty support and encour-
agement given me in the pursuit of this enterprise, and also
to the printer for his kindly courtesies to, and patience with,
my inexperience in work of this kind.

CHAPTER I
Real Estate Transactions of Nathan1 Lord.
his WILL
Nathan Lord, 1st, from the County of Kent, England, settled
in Kittery, Me. In 1652 he signed a convention acknowledging
the judicial authority of Massachusetts in Maine. December
16, 1652, he received his first grant of land in Kittery, sixty
acres "at ye heathy marsh," a location now in the center of
Eliot, Me. At present the Boston and Maine railroad passes
over this grant at a point between Kittery and Eliot depots.
Rev. John Heard Lord of Berwick, Me., is the authority quoted
in respect to this grant. The records of a writing in Kittery,
Me., December 18, 1652, run as follows: "Granted unto Nathan
Lord his heirs and assigns forever by the selectmen of Kittery,
sixty acres of upland and meadow at the Heathy Marsh with the
timber on ye said land, bounded with ye marked trees on ye
east and also on ye west with ye marked trees untill the said
number of acres be completed." This is said to have been the
first grant of land Nathan1 Lord ever received. The land is
said to have been located south of Sturgeon Creek in the present
town of Eliot, Me. The Rev. Reuben Kimball, pastor of the
first church in Kittery, Me., who was applied to by Melvin
Lord for information concerning the early history of the Lords,
reported under date of November 29, 1848, as the result of his
examinations that "no church record in Kittery extends farther
back than 17 14 and that he knew of no person by the name of
Lord either on the church records which commenced at that
date, or now living in town," but that he had "examined the
town records and found them to have commenced as early as
1650 and found mention made in several places in the ancient
book, of Mr. Nathan Lord, in connection with grants of tracts of
land which are not now included in that town, for all the terri-

tory now constituting the towns of Eliot, South Berwick, North
Berwick and Berwick, reaching north to Lebanon was once called
Kittery, the early records of all those towns being in Kittery.
He adds "I find no Nathaniel Lord, but one Nathan Lord and
if it should be of any service I will send you a copy of the first
sentence in which his name is found bearing some resemblance
to one or two others. It is under date of December 18, 1652,
and is a record of the acts of the town at a public meeting the
same day."
The following are dates of some of the transactions of Nathan
Lord, 1st, in real estate in ancient Kittery: September 7, 1662,

The spring mentioned in the second clause of the above will
is pointed out on the farm of the late Henry W. Lord of Old
Fields, South Berwick, Me. The spot is near the junction of the

hands, bearing date, the twenty-eighth of June, one thousand
six hundred and seventy-eight; which said deed was given by
my said father and mother, unto said Abbott and Nason without

instrument or writing shall come, that I, Abraham Lord, the
subscriber, hereof for the consideration of that money paid by

CHAPTER IV
Ancient Kittery and Subsequent Subdivisions
The description of the territorial limits of ancient Kittery are
somewhat vague and its boundaries uncertain. See Sanborn's
History of New Hampshire, p. 44, for an account of John Nason's
purchase of Georges, of a tract of land three miles in breadth
on the northeast side of the Piscataqua river, extending from its
mouth to its farthest head, including the saw mill at Newiche-
wannock Falls. This purchase was made sometime before
Mason's death in 1635.
See Sanborn's History of New Hampshire, chapter XII, for
ancient territorial bounds including Kittery, Me. See also
pp. 31 and 32.
See Transactions of Maine Historical Society, Vol. IV, 2d
series, p. 40. Massachusetts commissioners at the house of
William Everett in Kittery. They were Lyman Bradstreet,
Sam1 Symonds. Thomas Wiggin, Bryan Pendleton, November
15, 1652. See also pp. 39, 40, 41. The return of the Massa-
chusetts commissioners to Maine, November 23, 1652, shows
that the notice to the inhabitants of Kittery to assemble at the
house of William Everett was dated November 15, for the
meeting on the 26th instant.
Forty-one residents including Nathan Lord signed the follow-
ing declaration.
"We whose names are underwritten do acknowledge ourselves
subject to the government of Massachusetts Bay, in New Eng-
land."
In August 1656, seventy-one persons, inhabitants of Saco,
Cape Porpoise, Wells, York and Kittery, addressed a petition
to Cromwell, praying to be continual under the government of
Massachusetts, alleging that they were "a people few in number
and those not competent to manage weighty affairs, our weakness
occasioning distraction, our paucity division, our meanness
contempt." (See Transactions Maine Historical Society, Vol.
1, p. 103.)
July 6, 1675. "We present the selectmen of the town of Kit-
12
LORD FAMILY HISTORY
tery for not taking care that their children and youth be taught
their catechism and education according to law." (See Maine
Historical Collections, Vol. i, p. 380.)
Rev. John Neward was the first pastor of the church in Kit-
tery, serving from 1714 to 1750. Kittery was incorporated in 1653.
Berwick, once a part of Kittery, Me., was incorporated as a
separate township in 1713. Both South Berwick and North
Berwick were afterwards taken from the territory of the original
Berwick. These facts explain many statements in the history
of the family of Nathan r Lord. South Berwick was taken from
Berwick and incorporated in 1814. It is believed that Nathan l
Lord moved from that part of ancient Kittery which is now
Eliot to that which is now South Berwick, about the year 1662,
locating at or near a place called Mt. Misery (now Mt. Pleasant,)
and that he continued to reside in what is now South Berwick,
till his death about 1690.
North Berwick, once a part of ancient Kittery, Me., and later
a part of Berwick, Me., was incorporated a separate township
in 1 83 1. Some of the descendants of Nathan l Lord have been
or are located in North Berwick.
The following are abstracts from the Berwick, Me., town records :
Berwick, May 21, 1718. Then measured and laid out to
Martha Lord, sixteen acres of land by virtue of a grant to her
husband to Nathan Lord, deceased, by the selectmen of the town
of Kittery, January 24, 1665.
Berwick, March 5, 1728-9. Then measured and laid out to
Nathan Lord, Jr., fifty-eight acres of land, twenty-four acres
by virtue of an addition to a lot of land formerly granted to
Elizabeth Broughton and purchased by said Lord. The other
thirty-four acres being part of a fifty acre grant to himself by the
town of Kittery, May 10, 1703, and the said fifty-eight acres
lies on the north-westerly side of Elizabeth Broughton's Lot,
and joins to it, and runs at the same point of compass as thai
lot doth and it is 264 poles on the S. E. side and 230 on the S. W.
side and is bounded on the S. W. by Salmon Falls Little river,
and on N. E. end by commons and is 38 poles in breadth, and
there are four rods allowed through the breadth of it for a high-
way, per me William Chadbourxe

First Church, Berwick, Me., was for a time known as the
"Parish of Unity." The first church was organized in 1702.
The Rev. John Wade, who died 1703, was the first pastor.
The next pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wise was ordained Novem-
ber, 1707, and died in 1776.
The Rev. Jacob Foster came in 1776, who asked and received
a dismission in 1777. The church was without a pastor till
1783, when the Rev. John Thompson was settled. The Rev.
Mr. Thompson died in 1828 and during the last three or four
years of his life the Rev. George W. Campbell was his colleague.
The records of the earlier period of this church are very frag-
mentary and incomplete.
The Rev. George Lewis, D.D., of South Berwick, Me., under
the date of January 28, 1901, writes: "The tract now comprising
the towns of Kittery, Eliot and the three Berwicks was at one time
all covered by the name Kittery. In 1669, this tract was divided
at Sturgeon Creek (I think) into upper and lower parishes, the
lower retaining the name of Kittery, while the upper was some-
times called Kittery Commons, but more often Unity Parish.
It was a division into parishes. Unity Parish was set off by
itself and made into a town, 1713. This was Berwick, or as the
old records have it, Barwick. My church records begun in 1702
has on its title page, The Records of the Church of Christ at

Barwick. Of course then, in 1702, the name Banvick, or Ber-
wick, as it now is, had overgrown the other name, Parish of Unity.

CHAPTER VI
Local and Personal Historical Items
At the first full election in ancient Kittery, the year being 1692,.
Nathaniel (Nathan?) Lord was chosen constable.
It appears that Nathan1 Lord in 1662 was or had been for
some time a resident of that part of ancient Kittery, which
became Eliot. After 1662, it is believed, he moved to a place at
or near Mt. Misery (now Mt. Pleasant) in that part of ancient
Kittery, which is now South Berwick, Me.
King Philip's War, as it is often called, broke out in 1675. The
next year, Nathan1 Lord and Nathan2 Lord purchased an
estate of seventy-seven acres, including a house and barn, at
Old Fields, now in South Berwick, Me., and this fact suggests
the cause of the Lord family garrison, which is known to have
existed at Old Field, where tradition asserts, Nathan1 Lord some-
time lived.
John Morrill sold an estate, including a field of seven acres
to Abraham Conley, in 1676. The same year Conley trans-
ferred the same to Nathan1 and Nathan2 Lord. In 1681 Nathan1
Lord relinguished his right, title and interest to Nathan2 Lord.
In 1703 Nathan2 Lord sold this field of seven acres to Benoni
Hodgdon. On this field was once John Morrill's house, assumed
to have been later occupied by the Lords. This house is sup-
posed to have been abandoned by the Lords when the Lord garri-
son was erected. "Hodgdon field" with an ancient cemetery,
is still recognized near to the farm of the late Henry W. Lord,
at Old Fields, South Berwick, Me.
The site of the Lord garrison is pointed out on the farm of
Sedley C. Lord and opposite the premises of the late Henry \V.
Lord. This garrison is said to have been of elaborate structure,
adorned with carvings in wood, a prow of a ship being represented
upon its frontal aspect. It had a door that permitted a yoke of
oxen and load to enter. This garrison was demolished about
the year 18 16, by Humphrey Lord who built the present house
of Sedley C. Lord nearby.
Among sixteen garrisons reviewed at Newichewannock, Me.,
25
26 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
by order of the governor in November, 1711, was that of "Mr.
Lord." It represented five families, six men, twenty-five souls,
but no soldiers. (See Maine History and General Record, Vol.
II, p. 114.) Newichewannock appears to have been the Indian
name of the territory now embraced in South Berwick, Me.
The family of the late Henry W. Lord, at Old Fields, hold
that their present house was built by Robert6 Lord about 1835.
The timbers of the Lord garrison, were in part incorporated into
their barn and in part into a barn of Humphrey Lord, who built
him a house about 18 16. The tradition of the Henry W. Lord
family seems to be that the Lord garrison stood till about 1835.
George E. Lord, brother of C. C. Lord, says that his father
Charles Lord was born in the Lord garrison in the year 18 12, and
he remembers hearing his father say that the new house was
built with material taken from the old house, when he (Charles)
was a small boy, but does not remember that he said that the
house was entirely demolished at that time.
Arundel is the early name of Kennebunk, Me., the home of
many descendants of Nathan1 Lord. Benjamin Meeds4 (Abra-
ham3 Nathan2 Nathan1) Lord settled in Arundel as also did
Tobias4 (John3 Nathan 2 Nathan1) Lord.
Spruce (sometimes called Silver) Creek, a considerable stream
of water in Kittery, Me., runs through a valley that was one of
the earliest locations settled in ancient Kittery. The home of
William Everett, where the Massachusetts commission met in
1652, is said to have been at Spruce Creek. Martha Everett,
sister of William Everett, was the first wife of Nathan1 Lord, who
with his wife, Martha Everett, consented to a release of interest
in real estate at Spruce Creek in 1674. (See Martha Everett.)
Sturgeon Creek, a stream of water, in the town of Eliot, Me.,
is a tributary of the Piscataqua river and is intimately connected
with the history of Nathan1 Lord. Sturgeon Creek appears to
have given its name to a district of indefinite extent in ancient
Kittery.
Rocky Hill, a ridge of hard, rocky land, lying between South
Berwick, Me., and York, Me., is of special interest to the family
of Nathan1 Lord so intimately associated historically with Old
Fields in South Berwick.
Old Fields is the euphonious name of a district in South Ber-
wick, Me. Old Fields is often mentioned in connection with the
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 27
history of the family of Nathan1 Lord. The estate purchased
of Abraham Conley by Nathan1 Lord and Nathan2 Lord in 1776
is said to have been at Old Fields, where is now the Nathan2
Lord family cemetery and the family spring, both on the farm
of the late Henry W. Lord. Old Fields seems to be a district of
uncertain territorial extent. It is said that the first cow ever
landed on Maine soil was brought up the Piscataqua river and
landed in that part of ancient Kittery called "Old Fields" hence
the name.
King William's War, existed from 1689 to 1697. It was during
this war or about 1690, that Nathan Lord is believed to have
died. The fact that Martha Lord, his widow, took out letters
of administration upon his estate in December, 1697, suggest
that she waited till the close of the war before taking such action.
It also suggests the possibility that Nathan1 Lord died at the
Lord family garrison at Old Fields and was buried in the Lord
family cemtery at Old Fields.
CHAPTER VII
Personal and Biographical
On June 1st, 1904, C. C. Lord, chairman of the Historical
Committee of the Sons and Daughters of Nathan Lord had an
interview with Moses Bennet of South Berwick Junction, Me.,
who said he was in his 77th year, and that he was born at Mt.
Pleasant, in South Berwick, on a site opposite the homestead
occupied by Herman Goodwin at the time of the interview. Mr.
Bennet said that, in his boyhood he was familiar with the tradi-
tions of the then older residents of the locality and heard the
following traditional facts affirmed:
1. That the Goodwin homestead mentioned was once the
home of Nathan Lord.
2. That it was later the home of Martha Everett, his widow.
3. That it was still later the home of Benjamin, the son of
Nathan Lord.
4. That in the instance of early colonial wars and the perils
of Indians, Nathan Lord resorted to the Lord garrison at Old
Fields, in South Berwick, for a cautionary residence. These
traditions are understood to relate to the estate, which came into
the possession of Martha Everett Lord, by the concession of the
sons and sons-in-law of Nathan Lord in 1704, and which she
transferred to Benjamin Lord in 1709. This estate is said to
have been at Mt. Misery, later called Mt. Pleasant.
Frost and Lord. (See Jeremiah4 Lord.) The wife of Peter3
Grant, (mother of Sarah Grant Hamilton Lord,) to whom he

born in Tiverton, England, July 30, 1631, (the eldest son of
Nicholas Frost, pioneer, settled in what is now Eliot, Me.) and
was killed by Indians July 4, 1697. Two of the sons of Maj.

surveyor he was, representative to the General Court in 1709.
He had nine children of whom, Margaret was the third. He was

early as 1666, and died there April 2, 1688. Nicholas? Gowen's
will was made January 8, 1733.

Goodwin, wife of Ephriam5 Lord was a granddaughter of Capt.
Philip3 (Philip1) Hubbard. Philip1 Hubbard was born at St.
Saviour, Isle of Jersey and married December 12, 1692, at Ber-
wick, Me., Mrs. Elizabeth Goodwin Emery. Philip3 Hubbard
received his captain's commission from John Hancock, July 1,
1775, and served in a 30th regiment, war of the Revolution.
Lord and Grant. Jeremiah4 (Abraham3, Nathan2, Nathan1)
Lord, married June 21, 1758, Mrs. Sarah Grant Hambleton, born
April 25, 1723, daughter of Peter3 Grant and widow of Gabriel
Hambleton, by whom she had several children. (Record of 2d
church Berwick, Me.) Peter3 Grant of Berwick, Me., was born
December 14, 1696 and baptized June 4, 1702, being a son of
Peter2 (Peter1) Grant. Peter1 Grant was born in Scotland in
1634. He is thought to have been one of the "Scotch prisoners
who were sent to Massachusetts in May, 1652, by order of the
English government — prisoners gleaned on the fatal field of
Worcester."
In the will of Nathan Lord, 2d, is a mention of the "lands he
bought of the Grants." The following in substance is the record
of that conveyance: "May 23, 1721. William Grant and
Martha, James Grant and Rachel, Daniel and Alexander Grant,
John Kye and Grizzell, Joseph Pray and Mary, and Hannah
Grant convey to Nathan Lord, 107 acres and 5 acres of marsh,
which our father, Peter Grant, bought of James Emery, being
part in Berwick (now Eliot) and part in Kittery; the 5 acres of
marsh lying west of York Pond," etc.

was in England, being the commander of a merchant vessel. On

demanded his card, on account of a remark relating to Queen
Victoria, the discussion having reference to the attitude of the
British towards the North. Upon the presentation of the card,
the officer returned his and remarked he also bore the name

ing it with his own, observed that each bore the same engraved
crest. As a result of this interview and acquaintance, the idea
of a duel was immediately suspended.

others he was captured near Fort Cedar, near Ticonderoga. He
was tied to a tree and torture had begun, but an English officer
named James Edwin Park Stanhope interfered, paid a ransom
to the Indians, and aided in exchanging him.
In 1791, Captain Lord bought the eighth part of a ship (brig-

in Col. James Scammon's regiment, composed of men from the
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 49
district of Maine. He was a sergeant in his company, and
at Bunker Hill in all probability. He occupied a farm at Lebanon
about a mile and a half southeast of the center, which farm is now
(1896) owned and occupied by James Lord. He married Mary
Hersom and died without issue. Tradition relates that while
in the Revolution he was in a scouting party which was surprised
and surrounded by a larger force of British. Sergeant Lord
immediately ordered his men to fire a volley. His brother,
Nathan, who was a private, dashed out in front of the ranks and
said "A running fire or they will kill us all." The command of
the private was obeyed. Simeon Lord was married at Berwick,
Me., August 15, 1774. (See Soldiers of the American Revolution
of Lebanon, Me., by George Walter Chamberlain.)

(On page 169 of the records collected by my brother I find the

following note and record which I copy as written by my brother.
Ed.)
Benjamin3 (Benjamin2, Nathan1) Lord is a subject of much
genealogical perplexity. In previous pages of this book are
found such statements as, when recorded, were believed to be
founded on substantial authority. The statements of the family
of Benjamin Lord, as here appended, is that of Benjamin3 Lord
as given by the Rev. E. S. Stackpole, D.D., in page 591 of "Old
Kittsry and Her Families," 1903. On future pages of this book
of records, the theory of the Rev. Dr. Stackpole will be adopted
till further information compels a change. In the statements
of pages 82, 162 and 163, it will be seen that the statement of
this page makes a difference of one degree of genealogical descent
in cases of numerous persons. The following is the .statement
of the Rev. Dr. Stackpole:
Benjamin Lord married (ist), Elizabeth ; (2d), Love .
Love, wife of Benjamin Lord, was baptized August 2, 1751.

CHAPTER XIV
Lord Escutcheon Antiquity of Name Ancestral
Blood
Calvin Lord, of Salem, Mass., has an escutcheon, which he
believes is that of the original family of Nathan1 Lord (1652) of
ancient Kittery, Me., as well as that of William Lord, of Salem,
Mass., Robert Lord, of Ipswich, Mass., and Thomas Lord of
Hartford, Ct. The following is the description of this escutcheon :
Crest. — Demi bird, wing expanded sable: on its head two small
horns or: dexter wing gules; sinister wing argent, lined gules.
Arms. — Argent on a fesse gules, between three cinquefoils azure;
a hind passant between two pheons or. (Escutcheons bearing
pheons are said to be of very ancient origin. Ed.)
Mr. Calvin Lord cites the following anthorities in support of
his theory: "Heraldic Journald," Vol. 1. p. 43. "Salisbury
Memorials." See Bernard Burke's "General Armory of England,"
1883. "The Book of Crests." Vol. 2. p. 279. "Hyde Genealo-
ogy" 1864.
Mrs. Ellen Lord Burditt, 42 Mill St., Dorchester, Mass., has
an escutcheon of the Lord family which bears the following desig-
nation. Crest. — A dexter arm, hand clenched, proper in a
mound azure. Arms. — Argent on a fesse, between three cinque-
foils: two pheons of the field. On the pendant of this escut-
cheon is this motto: — Invia virtuti nulla est via. The word
"Lord" is also on the bottom of this escutcheon.
At the ninth annual reunion of the Sons and Daughters of Nathan
Lord, at Berwick, Me., August 6, 1903, Capt. John Clement
Lord, in his annual address, reported the following description
of an escutcheon : "He beareth azure; a half moon between three
lions heads; ecressed: or. By the name of Lord. These arms
quartered and granted on 20th February, in the 8th year of
King James the First (which would be in 161 1) to Sir Robert
Lord of Brille, in the county of Bucke, Bart." "Boston, April 2,
1798. A true copy attest: Jno. Cotes, Heraldy Painter."
Thomas Lord came to America in 1635 and settled in Hart-
ford, Ct. He died intestate about 1667, but his wife who died
184
. LORD FAMILY HISTORY 1 85
about two years later left a will which she sealed with the seal of
her late husband. It is said that the memorial bearing thereon
depicted correspond exactly with the arms of De Laward, as
given in English heraldry, thus showing that the family was of
Norman origin as early as 1388. Some of the genealogies say
that the name is sometimes spelled Lawd. Thomas Lord came
directly from London. Letter of William H. Lord,. Burnt Hills,
N. Y., May 15, 1902.
Lord Antiquity of Name
The following is from an English work, a history of the Nor-
man people, and a dictionary of names belonging to the country
in olden times: Lord: Osmond de Lavorde, Normandy, 11 80,
(M.* R. S.)— John Le Lavorde, Engl. c. 1272. (R. H).*
"William Le Lavorde" is mentioned in English History as of
Shelf hange Manor, connected with St. Edmunds Abbey, at
Bury in time having reference to William the. Conqueror: again,
"Winfarthing Tenement, one half was held by John Le Lord,
1500."

CHAPTER XV
Items of Historical Interest
Rev. Nathaniel5 (Abraham4, Samuel3, Nathan2, Nathan1)
Lord was born September 14, 1754; published, January 30, 1784,
to (ist) Phebe Davis, of Kittery, Me.; married (2d) Elizabeth
(Roberts) Wentworth, widow of Tobias Wentworth; 2d wife,
of Rollinsford, N. H.; died April 8, 1832, and was buried on
Hussey farm at North Berwick, Me., on a knoll selected by
himself, on the home place of Mary (Wentworth) Hussey, his
wife's daughter. Rev. Nathaniel5 Lord was a Freewill Baptist,
baptized at Great Works, in South Berwick, Me. ; ordained over
the church in Wells, Me., 1780; organized church at North Ber-
wick, Me., in "Elder Lord's meeting-house" May 31, 1804,
there being 55 members; retired from the ministry, August 30,
1831.
"Elder Lord's meeting house" was built, November, 178 1,
so far as can be determined, and the sill was laid by compass to
comport with an old range line. This house eventually was
used as a town hall and was the place of town meeting as late as
1877.
Rev. Charles Eliphalet7 (John Perkins6, John5, Nathan4,
Samuel3, Nathan2, Nathan1) Lord was born in Porstmouth, N. H.,
February 11, 1817. He fitted for college at South Berwick, Me.,
and Andover, Mass; graduated at Dartmouth; taught a year
in South Berwick Academy; taught two years in Kingston
(N. C), Academy; studied theology two years in New York
and New Haven theological seminaries; was pastor of Presby-
terian Church, Miles, Mich., three years; same church at Evans-
ville, Ind., one year; afterwards at South Newmarket, N. H.,
West Brooke, Me., Mt. Vernon, N. H., Easton, Mass., Chester,
Vt., and Beverly, Mass. He was at one time professor of the
evidences of Christianity and church history at Talmage's lay
college at Brooklyn, N. Y., and at another, lecturer at the lay
college at Revere, Mass. He received the degree of Doctor of
Divinity by the Wesleyan University of East Tennessee in 1873.
He was the author of "National Theology" and other works.
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 1 89
About twenty years before his death, he became a resident of
Newburyport, Mass., where he died, February 19, 1902. For
ten years before his death he devoted himself to Hope Chapel at
Salisbury Beach. In August, 1901 , he delivered an address before
the Seventh Annual Reunion of the Sons and Daughters of Nathan
Lord, at Central Park, Dover, N. H. See Abram T.7 Lord.
Testimony of Thomas Goodwin, 1775, and Eliz. Gray
Thomas Goodwin, of Berwick, Me., gentleman, aged 58 years,
testifies that about 26 years since, he was at the home of the
Rev. Mr. Emerson, a minister of Portsmouth, and there saw
Rich'1. Lord, Jr., late of Berwick, eldest son of Capt. Richd.
Lord, of Berwick, deceased, joined in marriage with Mary Good-
win (the now wife of Mr. John Cooper, Jr., of the same Berwick)
and the said Richd. Lord, Jr., and Mary Goodwin lived together
five or six years as man and wife, and had three children, two
sons and one daughter; two sons are dead and the daughter,
youngest of the three, is now the wife of Jona Abbott, Jr., of
Berwick. Said Thomas Goodwin was a near neighbor to Capt.
Richd. Lord, Jr., all his life and his two sons died young.
Eliz. Gray testified to the above, adding that the eldest child
of Capt. Richd. Lord, was a daughter, who died very young, and
that Richd. Jr., was always called the eldest child. That the
first child of Richd. Jr., was called Daniel, the second Richard,
and that both died young and unmarried.
The foregoing testimonies are from the York Co., Me.,
Probate Records, at Alfred, in Vol. 9-34. The date of the state-
ments is October 21, 1755. Thomas Goodwin appears to have
been a brother of Maty, wife of Richd4. Lord. Thomas Goodwin
is said to have been born July 12, 1697.
Statement of Rev. John Heard Lord
Rev. John Heard Lord, of Berwick, Me., writing from London,
Eng., to the Biddeford, Me., Journal, under the date of August
15, 1 901, says that there has found the family register of Nathan
Lord, father of Nathan1 Lord, of ancient Kittery, Me., and that
Nathan1 Lord's mother, Anne, a widow, married Abraham
Conley. The first wife of Nathan1 Lord was a daughter of
Abraham Conley by a wife antecedent to Anne Lord.
190 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
Statement of Humphrey Lord
Humphrey5 (David4, Abraham4, Nathan2, Nathan1) Lord
of Old Fields, South Berwick, Me., said that the Lord estate
on which he resided was never alienated from the family after the
first settler took possession. He further asserted, that the orig-
inal grant, or transfer, to the Lords was not entered upon the
county records, — a consideration of the transaction in realty by
John Morrill, Abraham Conley, Nathan1 Lord and Nathan2
Lord at Old Fields tends to substantially confirm the statement
of Humphrey5 Lord. Of 77 acres owned by John Morrill, 70
were the result of grants by the town of Kittery.
October 22, 1701, Nathan2 Lord was appointed one of a com-
mittee with Capt. Ichabod Plaisted, Richard Tozier, John Hill,
Thomas Abbott, R. Nason, Charles Frost, Humphrey Spencer,
and Benoni Hodgdon, for the building of a new meeting house.
In 1716 he was selectman. In 1719 he was of a committee to
agree with William Bradstreet as schoolmaster for one year. In
1720 he was chairman of the selectmen and of a committee of
eleven to demand the money due from Kittery on account of
Wells reaching in upon the township of Berwick.
In 1 72 1 he was a committee with Humphrey Chadbourne.
and Philip Hubbard for letting out upon interest £2zj.o..i5..o..
(probably money received from Kittery).
The following is an abstract of the will of David4 (Abraham3,
Nathan2, Nathan1) Lord:
1 . He gave to his wife, Phebe, the use of one half of his dwelling
house and homestead lands during her widowhood, but if she
married again, then only one third; also one half of his house-
hold goods during life, then to be divided between his four daugh-
ters; also two cows, four sheep, two swine, and sufficient fire-
wood to be cut from her lot by his sons, Humphrey and Edmund;
also his riding horse.
2. To his son, Enoch, one dollar, having done something for

third except what had already been disposed of.
8. He directed his two sons to pay his just debts, and funeral
expenses, and the legacies in this will and appointed them his
executors.
The witnesses of this will were Joshua Lord and Jeremiah
Lord, brothers of the testator, and John Hill supposed to be
Deacon Hill of Great Works, who probably wrote the will.
Abstract of the will of Abraham3 (Nathan2, Nathan1) Lord:

Dinah; also one half of his household goods, three cows, six

(Simon) now lives, with the buildings, which were purchased of
John Gowen.
3. To his son, Benjamin Meeds, four pounds lawful money.

5. To his son, Nicholas, forty acjes in Berwick, where he
(Nicholas) now lives, joining to William Goodwin's land, with
the buildings.
6. To his son, Nathan, all the land and buildings of which
he (Nathan) is now in posession in Berwick.
7. To his sons, Joshua and Jeremiah, in equal halves the lands

CHAPTER XVI
Notes by the Editor
Ancient manner of computing time.
It may be interesting to some of the young readers of this
book to know why some of the transactions of our early ancestors
herein recorded are dated in what is now known as "old style."
Previous to 1752 the year began on March 24. During
the months of January, February and the first 24 days of March
it was sometimes customary to write the year with a double
number, January 24th, 1 671, for instance would be written,
January 24th 167I or 167 1-2, indicating January following
December, 1671. On March 25, and thereafter, until January,
the figure 1 would be dropped and the figure 2 would take its
place. In 1751 the English Parliament passed an act changing
the manner of computing time to take effect September, 1752.
To correct previous error the time was brought forward eleven
days by calling the 3rd of September the 14th; and the year was
made to begin January first.
Owning the Covenant
In the record of Lords that were members of the church in
■"Unity Parish" or Parrish of Unity it is seen that certain mem-
bers "owned the covenant." It certainly would not be good
logic to confuse the word "owned" with the idea that they pos-
sessed something; but that they admitted or confessed to the
truth of the articles of Christian faith as expressed in the creed
of their church. By the word "covenant" we understand a
"mutual agreement or compact between the members of the
church to maintain its faith, discipline, etc."

Obituary Notices
Charles Chase Lord
Charles Chase Lord died on Sunday at the home of his brother,
George E. Lord, on Putney's Hill, Hopkinton, at the age of 69,
after an illness of long duration.
Mr. Lord was born in South Berwick, Me., on July 7, 1841,
the son of Charles and Sarah (Hubbard) Lord, of Hopkinton,
N. H., and studied for the ministry at the Methodist Biblical
Institute in this city, later however, embracing the Swedenbor-
gian faith.
He had for many years lived in Hopkinton and was one of
that town's best known citizens. His reputation as a writer was
state wide. He was long a press correspondent, serving various
papers and news agencies and was, in length of service, the oldest
contributor of the Monitor and Statesman. Notable contributions
were the political letters published under the title, "Uncle Siah's
Papers." He was the author of "Life and Times in Hopkinton,"
"Lookout," "Poems of Penacook," "Mary Woodwell," and
other works, and his historical, biographical, reminiscent sketches
and poems in the Granite Monthly were long among the best
features of that magazine. He was the founder of the Sons and
Daughters of Nathan Lord and for years served that organization
as secretary and chairman of the historical committee.
Mr. Lord was a man who will be greatly missed, not only for
his facile and pleasing pen, but for his engaging personality. —
Concord Monitor.
Jedediah Lord of Old Fields, Me.
Passed on to his spirit home, in South Berwick, January 25, 1901
Jedediah Lord aged 87 years. Another old landmark has been
removed from out our sight. We think it eminently fitting, as
also a heartfelt duty, to pause long enough to utter some word in
praise of his character. The subject of this notice always lived
a quiet, unobtrusive life in the home where he was born, and
194
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 195
always was a tiller of the soil. Although of an uncommon,
retiring disposition, having no desire for the clash of public life,
yet we who were blessed with his acquaintance should not forget
his peculiar virtues, which all of us would do well to strive and
emulate. His strict sense of justice, truth and right which
never forsook him, was a trait which many might covet, who
profess higher and better things. He was one of the keenest
observers of everything found in nature and although it would
have been difficult to sound his depths yet we feel assured that
he looked from nature up to nature's God. His deep interest
in all animal and vegetable life was something surprising to
ordinary minds. Little trifling things that most of us would
pass unheeded by, he could stop and make a study of, and find
pleasure and enjoyment where we could find none. His intuitive
knowledge of the habits of animals and their diseases, and of
the proper healing remedies, if it had been combined with a
suitable education, would have made him one of the leading
veterinary surgeons in the land. But unfortunately book learn-
ing was denied him. His faith in the problem of life here and
hereafter, was heralded by no trumpet tones, but we know if
we could be inbued with his spirit we might have the supreme
satisfaction of knowing that we had a better world to live in.
Our friend was possessed of a heart, and soul large enough to
grasp the whole world in his embrace. No idle profession was
his, and yet we know that he could fervently respond to that
beautiful saying, "peace on earth and good will toward men."
Faithfully he fulfilled his appointed missions, and truly it can
be said of him "he lived in peace with all mankind."
Benjamin M. Lord
After an illness of about 12 days, Benjamin M. Lord, well-
known throughout the state as inspector and special agent for
the Hartford Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, died
at his home, 138 Messer Street, Providence, Saturday October
20, 1906. Mr. Lord was born 75 years ago in Kennebunkport,
and was the son of Abram and Edna Lord. He received his
early education in his native town and gave much of his attention
to machinery and boilers. When he went to Rhode Island in
1856 he was engineer and mechanic with a sawmill crew which
196 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
was working in West Greenwich. It was there he met and
married Miss Phoebe Tillinghast, who died six years ago last
May. He was engineer at Henry Clark's wood yard up to the
time that place was burned out and his next employment was
with the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Com-
pany as inspector. He continued in that capacity for 22 years,
and since then has been a special agent.
Mr. Lord was taken sick last August and had been in poor
health ever since. He was not connected with secret societies,
but was a member of the Cranston Street Baptist Church. His
daughter, Mrs. J. Russell, and four grandchildren survive him.
Mr. Lord was a brother of the late Captain J. 0. Lord and was
here several years before going to Rhode Island, at work in the
Water Power Company.
He has visited here every year until failing health prevented
him. His many friends will be sorry to hear of his death.
John H. Lord
John H. Lord passed away at the Highland Sanitarium yester-
day, where he had been undergoing treatment, aged 61 years,
5 months and 15 days. He had been in feeble health for a couple
of years, and suffered from a complication of diseases, but was
able to be out part of the time. He was a native of Somersworth
and resided here all his life. He entered the employ of the Great
Falls Manufacturing Company when a young man and worked
in the cloth room until a few years ago when he was obliged to
give up, on account of sickness. He was a genial, whole souled
man, a good citizen, who had a multitude of friends. He was
prominent in fraternal and social circles, being a member of
Libanus Lodge, A. F. and A. M., Edwards Chapter, R. A. M.,
St. Paul Commandery, K. T., of Dover, Washington Lodge, No.
4, I. O. O. F., Great Falls Encampment, Canton Parker, P. M.,
of Dover, Martha Washington Rebekah Lodge, Prospect Lodge,
K. of P., and Endowment Rank of the K. of P, For many years
he was Keeper of Records and Seal of Prospect Lodge. He was
also Scribe of the local I. O. O. F. Encampment for a number
of years. A widow and one son, Fred, of Cambridge, Mass.,
survive him. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock at his late residence, High Street, and interment will be
in the family burial lot, Forest Glade Cemetery. Aug. 16.

Ralph W. Lord
Years Ago was Engaged in the Fancy Grocery Business on
Main Street
Ralph W. Lord died at his home on Main Street Saturday
afternoon at 4 o'clock of heart failure, aged 81 years. He is
survived by a widow, two daughters, Elizabeth E. Lord and
Mrs. Loren E. Johnson of this city and one brother, Geo. S.
Lord of Wells. Private funeral services conducted by Rev.
Edwin S. Chase of Kennebunkport were held at the home, 301
Main Street, this afternoon at 2.30 and the interment will be at
Wells at the convenience of the family.
Mr. Lord was born in Wells and came to this city in 1861 and
for 13 years he was engaged in the fancy grocery business at 88
Main Street, now occupied as a millinery store by Mrs. J. H.
Roussin. He was a high principled man of quiet, retiring dis-
position and while taking no active part in politics had always
been a Democrat. — Biddeford (Me.) Record July 10, 1905.
Dr. John Lord
Dr. John Lord, who since 1881, has been one of the most
prominent citizens and physicians of Biddeford, died suddenly
at his home on Main Street at one o'clock Wednesday morning.
Death was due to a shock and the end ensued within an hour
after the attack.
Shortly before midnight Dr. Lord grew suddenly ill and passed
into a semi-conscious condition. Dr. C. J. Emery, who, with
Dr. J. D. Cochrane of Saco, has been attending him, was sum-
moned to his bedside.
Dr. Emery found that Dr. Lord had suffered a shock and while
realizing that his condition was serious did not apprehend that
death was very near at hand.
The patient was able to recognize those about him and when
spoken to would open his eyes. He was unable to speak, how-
ever.
During the next hour he sank rapidly and shortly before the
end came sank into a peaceful sleep, passing away without the
least sign of pain.
Dr. Lord has been failing in health for a long time although
198 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
able to attend to his practice and official duties until up to about
a year ago. In April of last year he was prostrated by a shock
and it was several weeks before he was able to get out of doors.
He never fully recovered from the effects of the attack and was
compelled to give up his medical practice. At intervals he
seemed stronger and during the summer was able to get out on
the street and with the use of a cane walk down town occasionally.
Since the cold weather came on Dr. Lord was seen out of doors
less frequently, but within a few weeks he was able to be out for
a short time and even came down town to attend to a little item
of business.
It was generally known that he was feeble and probably few
anticipated that he would ever regain his health again. But
nobody expected such a sudden demise and when it became known
about the city this forenoon that he was no more surprise was
evident on the faces of all his acquaintances.
Dr. Lord, was born in Porter, Oxford County, June 25, 1843,
and was named for his father.
His paternal grandfather, Levi Lord, was born in Berwick,
whence he removed to Oxford County, making a home first in
Hiram and later in Porter. He was in Portland in the war of
18 12 at the time of the capture of the British brig in the harbor.
He was for a long time engaged in lumbering, but later settled
on a farm and gave his attention to agriculture. He and his
wife, Abigail Durgin, who was a native of Newfield, were the
parents of seven children who grew to maturity.
John, the second child was born in Porter in 1810. He be-
came a lumberman and followed his occupation with his father
till his death at the age of 38 years. He and his wife, Mary
Gould, daughter of Bartholomew Gould of Parsonsfield, reared
three children, two sons and a daughter.
John, the younger, of the two sons of John Lord, Sr., acquired
his elementary education in the common schools near home and
then fitted for college at Kents Hill Seminary and Fryeburg
Academy.
The breaking out of the Civil War spoiled his plans for attend-
ing college. Instead of profiting by the facilities for liberal
culture at Bowdoin College, which he had intended to enter, he
enlisted in September, 1862, for the defense of the Union in
Company K, 21st Maine Regiment.
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 1 99
He served some time as sergeant and later as steward and on
receiving his discharge about ten months later, at once entered
the hospitals at Washington as an attendant. His experience
in this branch of the service decided his future career.
On leaving the hospital service in the latter part of 1864 he
went into the office of Dr. Jesse P. Sweat the regimental surgeon
of the 23rd regiment in Brownfield and pursued- the study of
medicine and surgery until 1866. In that year he passed his
examination and received the degree of doctor of medicine at
Bowdoin.
Dr. Lord shortly afterwards established himself for practice
at Limington where he remained until 1873. In that year,
accompanied by his wife, Helen Dimmock, whom he had wedded
in Limington, he went to California and opening an office at
Weaverville, Trinity County, there engaged in the duties of his
profession for eight years. During four of these years he had
charge of the county infirmary and for several years he was on
the county board of education.
Dr. Lord returned to Maine in December, 1880, and settled
in Biddeford in the spring of 1881.
During his residence in Biddeford, Dr. Lord was actively
identified with the professional and civic life of the community.
He took a broad interest in all that concerned the political,
social and religious welfare of the city and much of his time was
devoted to furthering the success of the ends sought for through
these several channels.
Personally he was a man of dignified bearing, but kindly
nature. Of the strictest probity and integrity, he was unas-
suming in his manners. Always amiable he was well liked by
all who knew him and for years he was the trusted medical ad-
viser in many of the best local families. His death is an impor-
tant break in the ranks of the men who have been prominent in
Biddeford for the past quarter of a century and he will be sin-
cerely mourned by a great many.
Dr. Lord is survived by his wife and three sons. The sons
are Lieutenant Charles E. D., assistant surgeon in the United
States marine hospital service at Galveston, Texas; Harry D.,
attending the textile school and a machinist at Lowell, Mass.,
and Philip, a student at Guilford College, N. C.
His mother, who last year observed the 90th anniversary of
200 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
her birth, is still living in Porter and also his sister Mrs. Mary A.
Stacy of Porter, and his brother, Frank Lord of Kezar Falls.
Dr. Lord was president of the Maine board of registration for
medicine, and for the past ten years has been a member of the
United States board of pension examiners. He was also exam-
ining surgeon for half a dozen insurance organizations in Bidde-
ford, both commercial and fraternal.
Dr. Lord was greatly interested in the First Universalist
church where he had been a constant attendant for many years.
Up to within a few months he was one of the trustees of the
Church.
Mr. Lord was a Mason and belonged to Greenleaf Lodge and
the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons at Cornish. He was a mem-
ber of Bradford commandery, Knights Templar, of this city.
As an Odd Fellow he was a member of Laconia Lodge of this city
and as a Grand Army veteran belonged to Sheridan post.
In politics Dr. Lord was a Republican and has been closely
identified with the party in Biddeford. Three times he was its
candidate for mayor, although unsuccessful each time. In 1889
he ran against Charles F. Goodwin and in 1891 and 1892 was
opposed to Edward W. Staples.
He was for three years a member of the school board and in
1895 and 1896 was its chairman. He was city physician for
two years under Mayor Carlos Heard and later was a member
of the board of health, his term of office in that capacity expiring
last spring.
Henry C. Lord
Henry C. Lord, a native of Alfred, Me., who lived for a num-
ber of years in Marietta, Ohio, died in Alfred, Me., October 21,
1908, at the age of 50 years. He was interested in oil properties
in the West and is said to have accumulated a fortune estimated
at a quarter of a million of dollars in the last six or seven years.
He is survived by a mother, wife and three children.
Augustus Lord
In the death of Augustus Lord which occurred July 8, 1907,
Saco suffers the loss of another of her sturdy, solid and worthy
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 201
citizens, among whom death has made steady inroads in recent
years.
Mr. Lord has been in feeble and failing health for some time,
his decline really dating from the death of his daughter, whom
he idolized, a few years ago. On June 10, he was prostrated by
an attack which, while it resembled a shock, was not attended
by any paralysis and his condition since has given but little hope
of recovery. He had previously suffered a similar though less
serious attack and had for some time prior to his fatal sickness
been unable to leave the house. His decline has been gradual
and his death was not a surprise to those who had known of his
condition.
Deceased leaves a widow, Mrs. Lydia A. Lord, and one brother,
Hon. Samuel L. Lord and upon these his death falls as a heavy
blow, following so closely upon other recent bereavements.
The funeral will be Wednesday at 2.30 p. m. from his home.
Augustus Lord was born in Buxton, June 8, 1835 and was there-
fore, 72 years and one month of age. He was the son of Eph-
raim and Hannah Lowell Lord and received his education in the
schools of his native town. When a young man, early in the
fifties, he came to Saco and entered the employ of his uncle, the
late Moses Lowell, and learned the tinsmith trade and continued
for years in the employ of Mr. Lowell, except for a brief time
when he was in business on his own account. Upon the death
of his uncle he entered partnership with Hon. Enoch Lowell and
this firm continued in business upon Pepperell Square until
about ten years ago when it was dissolved and since then Mr.
Lord had been engaged in no business.
In 1 86 1 Mr. Lord was appointed a deputy sheriff but on
account of business he did not serve his term out. In 1871 he
served the city government under Mayor Oliver Dyer and was
the next year elected chief engineer of the fire department and
served at that position continuously up to 1 885 . He was re-elected
in 1887 and continued at the head of the department until 1871.
He had been an assistant engineer from 1868 to 1871.
He was a most competent head of the fire department and
under his administration it maintained a high efficiency. He was
a good workman and an honorable upright business man. He
always enjoyed the esteem of his townsmen and deservedly so
for he was in all respects a good citizen and a good friend. He
202 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
was a member of Saco Lodge of Masons and in politics was a
Republican, though liberal and tolerant in his political views.
Augustus Lord's brother John H., died February 10, 1907 aged
67 years, 10 months, 10 days.
Hon. Samuel L. Lord
Hon. Samuel L. Lord, son of Ephriam H. and Hannah (Lowell)
Lord, died at his home, 30 Pleasant St., Saco, Me., January 2,
1911.
Among the men prominent in Saco's business and political
life none was more widely known than was Mr. Lord. He was
born in Buxton, January 4, 1841, and moved to Saco when 13
years old. His ancestry on the paternal side can be traced back
to 1652, the line of descent being, Nathan Lord, Kittery, 1652;
Nathan, of Berwick, 1655; 1733, Captain Abraham, Berwick,
Abraham, of Scarboro; Nathaniel, of Scarboro and Buxton; Isaac,
of Buxton, and Ephraim H. Lord of Buxton and Scarboro, his
father. His early education was obtained as a student at the old
brick schoolhouse at Salmon Falls, Buxton, and later he attended
the grammar school at Saco, under Moses J. Haines, until the
spring of 1856. In June of that year he went to learn the
apothecary business with Tristram Gilman, where he remained
until the spring of 1858 when Mr. Gilman and Dr. John E. L.
Kimball formed a partnership and bought the drug store for-
merly conducted by Dr. Charles Murch. He was in the em-
ploy of this firm until June, J859, when the firm dissolved
and he again worked for Mr. Gilman at the old stand. Mr.
Gilman sold out to Stephen F. Shaw in May, i860, but Mr.
Lord remained in Mr. Shaw's employ most of the time until 1869,
when Augustus Sawyer took the store, still retaining the services
of Mr. Lord. Mr. Sawyer died in December of that year and
the stock was sold to Warren C. Bryant of Biddeford. Mr. Lord
acted as agent for Mr. Bryant until 1873, when the store was
destroyed by fire. He then went into Rochester, N. H., and
entered the employ of Stephen F. Shaw. He remained there,
however, only a short time and in July, 1874, came to Saco and
opened a drug store of his own on Factory Island, September 10.
Mr. Lord cast his first vote with the Republican party and
voted for Lincoln and Grant. In 1872 he voted for Horace
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 203
Greeley and had been identified with the Democratic party ever
since. He was elected alderman from ward 6 in 1876, but in
1877 was defeated for that office. In 1877 he was also a candi-
date for representative to the legislature and defeated. In 1878
and 1879 he was candidate for mayor, being defeated both times.
Mr. Lord was chosen a member of the Democratic city com-
mittee in 1877 and made chairman. In 1876 the Tilden club
was formed in Saco and he was made its president. In 1878
he was chosen a member of the Democratic county committee
and became its secretary and treasurer. He was chosen chair-
man of the committee in 1879. In 1880 he was again chosen a
member of two years and served as chairman. In this year he
was again candidate for alderman in ward 6 and was defeated.
He was again defeated for mayor in 1882. In 1884 he was alder-
man from ward 6 and was re-elected in 1885. He was a candi-
date for state senator in 1882 and suffered defeat. In 1884 he
wTas chosen a member of the First district congressional commit-
tee. He was a candidate for the office of postmaster of Saco in
1886, but did not receive the appointment. He resigned as a
member of the congressional committee in April, 1886, and in
the June following resigned as a member of the Democratic city
committee, of which he had been chairman during his member-
ship of nine years.
He was appointed a member of the Saco registration board to
represent the minority party by Mayor Enoch Lowell, in May,
1891, for a term of two years, which office he resigned March 26,
1892. In 1888 he was a candidate for presidential elector on
the Cleveland and Thurman ticket. May 1, 1893, he was again
appointed a member of the Saco board of registration and held
the office until 1896, when he resigned to become a candidate for
mayor. He was elected mayor of Saco in 1896 and re-elected
in 1897 and 1898. In 1896 he was the Democratic candidate
for sheriff and was defeated. He was the Democratic candidate
for governor in 1898 and with the rest of the ticked defeated;
was candidate for U. S. senator in 1899 and received the Demo-
cratic vote of the members of the legislature. Republicans and
Democrats alike recognized in Mr. Lord the sterling qualities
of a representative citizen. He was without doubt one of the
foremost and most popular men of the Democratic party of the
-state. He ever held the confidence of his townsmen and in all
204 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
contests where he was engaged never failed to poll a larger vote
than the numerical strength of his party would warrant. His
valuable service to the city has ever been recognized. He was
first to originate and claim that the city should bear the entire
expense of building sidewalks and had advocated and had adopted
many other popular improvements.
About 1898 Mr. Lord again became a member and chairman
of the Democratic city committee, holding the position until
February 8, 1910 when he resigned. At the Democratic caucus
in city hall on the evening of February 17, 1910, special action
was taken by the caucus by way of testimonial to Mr. Lord for
his long, faithful and efficient service to his party. He was
absent for the first time in many years and after several speeches,
reviewing his career and services, a rising vote of thanks was
passed. All present, regardless of party affiliations, took part
in this vote. Mr. Lord was held in the highest esteem by his
polictial opponents and by every man, woman and child in the
city, who had the honor of his acquaintance.
At the time of the organization of the Citizens' movement in
Saco in 1901, Mr. Lord joined it and was elected city treasurer,
representing the Democratic wing of the party. He held this
office two years and in 1905 was chosen a member of the board
of assessors. In 1906 he was elected a member of the board of
assessors for a three year term, under the provisions of a law
just passed. At the conclusion of his three year term as assessor
he retired from the public service.
Pages could be written concerning Mr. Lord's life and char-
acter. Years ago he became known as "Honest Sam" and well
deserved the title. No man was more particular in his trans-
actions with his fellow men than Mr. Lord, who was correct to
the last degree and the last penny. In his public life every
department with which he was connected received his most care-
ful attention. He was a painstaking observer of all the legal
forms and requirements and in addition to giving the public
service as careful attention as he gave his own business he aimed
to have everything done absolutely right. He had the confidence
and respect of all who knew him, in a very remarkable degree.
For many years, Mr. Lord's drug store on Factory Island was
a meeting place of young men over whose acts, discussions and
deliberations he presided with paternal care and foresight. He
LORD FAMILY HISTORY 205
was their court of last resort, a loved and respected czar, whose
word was law and final. His back shop became famous. It
was a headquarters for political news and thought, for sporting
news and for everything that was of interest to the community.
Many famous visitors have been within its precincts, men who
have been honored in many ways and places.
The Saco boys who have become men and have scattered to
various parts of the world, who grew up as one of "Sam's boys,"
as they were familiarly known, will hear of his demise with sin-
cere sorrow, though in the nature of things it was to be expected.
His memory will be cherished by a great many to whom he was
an ideal character, by men who have governed many of their
own actions by the criterion of whether or not Mr. Lord would
have approved them.
Kindness of heart and manner was a distinguishing character-
istic of Mr. Lord. His advice and sympathy were frequently
sought by the discouraged and those in trouble and freely given.
His familiar figure will be greatly missed from Main street, Saco,
over which for years he passed to and from his home and store
with a regularity that was exact. His habits were so methodical
that he varied scarcely a minute in the times at which he did
every day's duty and task.
A gentleman of the old school, a type of a time that has passed,
Mr. Lord, as a figure, will linger long in the affectionate memory
of his fellow townmen.
Mr. Lord is survived by no near relatives. Besides his father
and mother, his immediate family consisted of himself and three
brothers, Augustus, Ira and John, the last of whom to die. Augus-
tus, died in Saco July 8, 1907.
Albion K. P. Lord
Albion K. P. Lord, a prominent citizen of West Buxton and
widely known as one of a group of men who conducted extensive
lumbering operations in the Saco valley, died at his home in this
town July 12, 1906, after a lingering illness. Mr. Lord was over
80 years of age and is survived by one daughter, Mrs. F. H.
Hargraves besides numerous other relatives.
For many years he was one of the leading business men of
New England, owning and operating large sawmills at West
206 LORD FAMILY HISTORY
Buxton, where he also conducted a general store. The pros-
perity which the village has enjoyed is due in no small measure
to the untiring efforts of Mr. Lord, and at one time he employed
a large number of men in his mills and on the drives which were
floated down the Saco from all points.
He was born in Parsonsfield and was the son of George W.
and Sarah (Swett) Lord, his mother being a sister of Dr. Moses
Swett, an old time physician who was famous as a "bone setter."
When he was one year of age, Mr. Lord's parents moved to West
Buxton and his father was for many years a leading lumberman
in this section. When he died the son took charge of the business
and conducted it in such a manner that it rapidly assumed large
proportions. He married Miss Sarah Dunn and they had three
daughters.
During his business career, Mr. Lord built a large brick block
at West Buxton, together with sawmills, a large brick house
near the Baptist church and a two story wooden dwelling near the
brick house.
Mr. Lord retired from business a few years ago and has resided
since with the family of Hon. F. H. Hargraves. He will be
greatly missed in the community where he has resided and done
so much for its business interests.
