This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you.

UNDER  the  direction  and  with  the  assistance  of  the  Town 
•  History  Conunittee,  Bev.  Moses  T.  Bunnels,  an  accom- 
plished genealogist^  was  actively  employed  two  years  in  the  col- 
lection of  material  for  the  registers  of  Plymouth  families.  In 
this  work  he  was  a  devoted  and  a  tireless  laborer.  Before  the  col- 
lection of  material  was  completed,  and  before  any  of  the  registers 
were  prepared  for  the  press,  his  faithful  labor  was  suddenly 
arrested  by  his  death.  Many  of  the  pages  of  this  volume  are 
memorials  to  his  industry  and  intelligent  investigation. 

In  a  research  for  the  earlier  American  generations  of  the  Ply- 
mouth families,  in  extending  the  record  of  the  registers  and  in 
preparing  them  for  the  press,  I  have  written  over  two  thousand 
letters,  and  have  labored  without  interruption  two  years. 

The  constant  types  of  mental  and  moral  forces  which  have 
characterized  many  of  the  families  of  Plymouth  through  suc- 
ceeding generations,  and  the  influence  for  good  or  ill  effected  by 
intermarriage,  present  an  interesting  study  of  the  law  of  inher- 
itance. And  in  the  same  connection  a  study  of  the  manners, 
customs,  and  usages  of  the  early  settlers  in  the  vaUey  of  the 
Pemigewasset,  compared  with  those  of  the  present  generation, 
will  present  abundant  evid^ice  of  the  intellectual  progress  and 
the  improvement  in  the  conditions  of  life  which  have  attended 
the  succession  of  years.

With  tmalloyed  pleasure  and  with  grateful  and  enduring  mem-

all  the  members  of  the  Town  History  Committee  and  of  Louisa

the  New  Hampshire  Historical  Society,  and  the  New  England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society  I  am  indebted  for  free  access  to 
their  accumulating  volumes  of  genealogy.  It  is  a  part  of  the 
pleasure  attending  the  completion  of  this  volume  that  I  am  per- 
mitted to  express  my  gratitude  to  Bev.  John  L.  Merrill  of  Fitch-

favors  which  have  been  incorporated  in  this  volume.

enlisted  vrith  the  Hollis  men  in  Capt  Noah  Worcester's  company, 
which  was  one  of  the  thirty-one  companies  raised  in  this  State  to 
reinforce  the  army  at  Boston.  The  term  of  service  was  three  months. 
In  the  record  at  Hollis  of  his  marriage  he  is  called  ''  of  Hollis.''  But 
at  the  date  of  his  enlistment  and  of  his  marriage  he  was  a  legal  and 
actual  resident  of  Plymouth.  In  1777  he  was  a  soldier  from  Ply- 
mouth, in  Capt  Willoughby's  company,  which  happily  shared  in  the 
capitulation  of  the  army  of  Gen.  Buigoyne.  He  began  preaching  to 
an  association  of  Baptists  in  Sutton  and  New  London,  and  he  removed 
to  Sutton,  1782.  Nathaniel  Everett,  of  New  London,  was  paid  for 
removing  the  family  of  Elder  Samuel  Ambrose  from  Plymouth  to 
Sutton.  (See  Histories  of  Hollis,  Sutton,  and  New  London.)  He  was 
ordained  in  April,  1782,  and  lived  in  Sutton  almost  continuously,

ness, journeyed  on  horseback  from  Hudson  to  Ticonderoga,  and

some  reason  the  name  of  Jeremiah  Blodgett  is  not  found  on  the

senger agent,  with  an  office  in  New  York  City,  from  which  he  retired 
with  an  honorable  record  in  1888.  Later,  for  twelve  yeara  he  engaged 
in  the  coal  business,  and  was  an  active  partner  of  the  firm  J.  A.  Brad- 
ford &  Co.,  of  Boston,  Mass.  In  the  Masonic  fraternity  he  has  attained 
unusual  prominence  and  distinction.  He  was  made  a  Mason  in  St.

The  first  tax-list  preserved  is  for  the  year  1770,  and  he  and  his  oldest

of  bis  estate.  He  d.  1690,  leaving  seven  children.  The  early  families 
of  Plymouth  and  some  of  their  descendants  have  written  the  name 
Goold. 

2.  Jakks  Gould,  son  of  Thomas  \  b.  Feb.  8,  1666/7,  had  wives 
Deborah  and  Sarah,  but  a  record  of  the  marriages  has  not  been  found.

1.  Capt.  Edward  Johnson,  ftom  Canterbury,  England,  came  to 
America  in  Winthrop's  fleet,  1630;  freeman.  May  18, 1631.  He  re- 
turned to  England  and  with  his  family  sailed  again  for  America, 
1637.    He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  Wobum  and  the  town  clerk 


JOHNSON.  871 

until  1671.  He  was  a  selectman,  captain,  and  deputy  to  the  general 
court  many  years.  In  Woburn  he  was  foremost,  and  in  the  affairs  of 
the  colony  he  was  frequently  employed  on  important  commissions. 
In  1662,  during  the  union  of  New  Hampshire  and  Massachusetts,  he 
and  Major  Simon  Willard  were  commissioners  to  establish  the  north- 
em  boundary  of  the  colony.  The  initials  £.  I.  at  the  upper  left  hand 
of  Endicott  Bock  at  the  Weirs  are  the  attest  of  £dward  Johnson.  In 
the  world  of  letters,  as  the  author  of  "  The  Wonder  Working  Provi- 
dences of  Sion's  Savior  in  New  England/'  he  was  an  American  pio- 
neer. He  d.  April  23, 1672.  His  wife  Sarah  d.  March  7, 1690.  In 
his  will  his  wife  and  seven  children  are  named. 

2.  Major  Wiujam  Johnson,  son  of  Gapt.  Edward^,  b.  England, 
1630.  Succeeded  his  honored  father  as  town  clerk ;  selectman  eigh- 
teen years;  representative  eight  years,  and  assistant  or  councillor, 
1684-1686.  He  m.  May  16,  1655,  Esther  Wiswall.  dau.  of  Elder 
Thomas  Wiswall,  of  Newton.  He  d.  May  22, 1704,  She  d.  Dec  27, 
1707.  His  dau.  Esther  m.  Seth  Wyman,  and  became  the  mother  of 
Seth  Wyman  the  lieutenant  in  Capt.  John  Lovewell*s  company.  His 
son  Benjamin  was  the  father  of  Josiah  Johnson,  who  was  wounded, 
and  his  son  Edward  was  the  father  of  Ichabod  Johnson,  who  was  slain 
in  the  fight  May  8, 1725. 

8.  William  Johnson,  son  of  Major  William  *,  b.  Wobum,  Feb.  26, 
1656,  was  a  shipwright  in  Charlestown  until  about  1700,  when  he 
returned  to  Wobum.  He  m.  Esther  Gardner,  b.  Oct.  15,  1659,  dau. 
of  Richard  and  Anna  (Blanchard)  Gardner.     She  d.  Dec.  17, 1706. 

4.  Noah  Johnson,  sou  of  William  ^  b.  Charlestown  or  Wobum, 
Feb.  2,  1699.  Settled  in  Dunstable,  now  Nashua,  about  1720.  He 
was  a  sergeant  in  the  renowned  company  of  Capt  John  Lovewell,  and 
was  severely  wornded  in  the  fight  at  Pigwacket,  and  through  life  he 
suffered  from  a  debility  of  the  hands  and  arma  In  answer  to  his 
petition  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  granted  him  twenty-one 
pounds  and  seventeen  shillings,  in  consideration  of  his  loss  and  suffer- 
ing ;  in  June,  1726,  he  was  allowed  thirteen  pounds  and  fifteen  shil- 
lings for  expenses  and  medical  attendance.  In  Dec.,  1726,  he  received 
ten  pounds,  and  in  1737  he  was  granted  a  pension  of  fifteen  pounds. 

The  colony  of  Massachusetts,  then  claiming  jurisdiction  over  a 
part  of  New  Hampshire,  in  1728  granted  a  township,  first  known  as 
Suncook  and  now  Pembroke,  to  the  soldiers  in  the  Lovewell  expedition 
and  to  the  heirs  of  those  deceased.    Being  one  of  the  grantees  Noah 


872  J0HK80N. 

Johnson  removed  from  Dunstable  to  Suncook  about  1735.  He  was 
a  prominent  proprietor  and  active  in  forwarding  the  settlement  He 
was  the  clerk  of  the  proprietors,  one  of  the  committee  to  arrange  for 
the  settlement  of  Kev.  Aaron  Whittemore,  a  member  several  years  of 
the  ''  committee  to  manage  the  affairs  of  the  plantation.'*  He  was  a 
deacon  of  the  church,  and  while  he  remained  in  Suncook  he  was  the 
most  prominent  man  in  the  conduct  of  affairs.  He  returned  to  Dun- 
stable, 1746.  In  the  registry  of  deeds  there  are  found  many  convey- 
ances in  which  he  appears  as  grantor  and  gmntee.  In  a  deed  dated 
1745  he  is  styled  **of  Suncook,"  and  in  deeds  dated  1747, 1748, 1749, 
1750, 1753, 1755, 1761. 1762, 1767, 1773, 1777,  and  1781  he  is  styled 
"  of  Dunstable."  So  far  as  tax  lists  are  found  he  was  taxed  continu- 
ously in  Dunstable  until  after  1781.  It  is  probable  that  he  removed 
to  Plymouth  soon  after  this  date.  Owning  no  land  and  in  age  exempt 
from  a  poll  tax  he  was  not  taxed  in  this  town.  The  closing  years  of 
the  life  of  this  venemble  man  were  passed  in  the  families  of  Col. 
Joseph  Senter  and  his  son  Edward  Senter.  He  d.  August  13, 1798, 
aged  99  years,  6  months,  11  days. 

In  the  diary  of  Lieut  Samuel  Thompson,  edited  by  Mr.  William 
B,  Cutter,  and  published  1896,  appears  a  clipping  from  a  newspaper. 
The  name  of  the  paper  is  not  known. 

"  Dea.  Noah  Johnson,  the  last  of  the  soldiers  in  LovewelPs  fight,  died  at 
Plymouth,  N.  H.,  iu  August,  1798.  Among  his  stories  of  that  famous  fight, 
the  old  man  used  to  tell,  that  near  the  close  while  he  was  in  the  act  of  aim- 
ing his  gun  at  an  Indian,  a  bullet  whistling  from  the  woods,  entered  the 
back  of  his  left  hand,  and  going  through  it,  entered  the  palm  of  his  right, 
passed  up  his  arm  to  near  the  elbow  and  there  lodged.  His  gun  dropped 
to  the  ground  and  he  was  entirely  disabled,  but  did  not  feel  or  perceive  the 
wound  in  his  left  hand.  It  was  a  bright,  hot  day,  and  almost  fainting 
with  the  heat  and  thirst,  he  stooped  to  drink  at  a  rivulet*  The  wound  iu 
his  right  hand  and  arm,  which  paiued  him  keenly,  prevented  his  bowing  to 
the  surface  of  the  water  to  drink ;  he  attempted  to  dip  some  up  in  the 
hollow  of  his  left  hand,  when  he  discovered  the  bullet  hole  in  it  by  the 
water  trickling  through  it.  The  probability  of  the  truth  of  the  latter  part 
of  the  story  may  be  estimated  by  those  acquainted  with  gunshot  wounds. 
Doa.  Johnson  was  a  very  respectable  old  man  and  often  narrated  the  facts. 
He  died  at  the  age  of  99.  Within  two  years  of  his  death  his  sight,  which 
for  some  years  had  been  almost  entirely  gone,  was  suddenly  restored  to 
such  a  degree  that  he  could  see  to  read  without  spectacles  and  even  by 
moonlight  as  he  proved  to  his  neighbors  and  visitors  by  frequent  experi- 
ments.    He  was  bom  at  Woburn,  Mass.,  in  March,  1699." 


JOHNSON.  878 

In  the  ''  Columbian  Ceuiinei;'  Boston,  Oct  24, 1798,  is  found : 

"Died.  At  Plymouth,  N.  H.,  Dea.  Noah  Johnson,  iEt  104.  He  was 
engaged  in  the  famous  battle  of  Lovell  at  the  place  now  called  Fryburg ; 
and  had  three  or  four  years  been  the  last  survivor  who  engaged  in  that 
memorable  transaction.'' 

In  this  notice  the  age  is  too  literally  computed,  and  in  Fox's  "Dun- 
stable "  it  is  erroneously  stated  that  Dea.  Johnson  died  in  Pembroke. 
The  name  of  the  wife  of  Dea.  Noah  Johnson  was  Elizabeth,  as  proved 
by  Dunstable  town  records  and  by  a  deed  of  Noah  Johnson  to 
William  Robertson,  dated  Jan.  6, 1749.  I  have  not  found  a  record  of 
marriage  or  a  record  of  her  deatli.    Three  children  b.  in  Dunstable. 

i.    Elizabeth,  b.  Oct.  8, 1728.    m.  Col.  Joseph  Senter  (see). 

ii.  NoAH,  b.  May  27,  1730,  was  a  lieutenant  and  later  a  captain  in 
Rogers  rangers,  serving  in  that  perilous  service  five  years.  In 
an  engagement  with  the  enemy  near  Lake  Champlain  in  the  early 
summer  of  17G0,  he  "  was  wounded  through  the  body,  a  second 
shot  through  his  left  arm,  and  a  third  in  his  head."  A  vessel  was 
despatched  to  Crown  Point  but  he  died  on  the  pAsage.  His  es- 
tate was  probated  in  1761,  and  in  the  final  settlement  it  was  stated 
that  his  sister  Elizabeth  and  his  father  were  the  only  heirs.  It 
has  been  stated  erroneously  that  Noah  Johnson,  the  fatlier,  was 
an  officer  in  the  French  War. 

iii.  Edward,  b.  June  6,  1788,  was  deceased  before  1761.  He  was  a 
soldier  in  Massachusetts  regiments,  credited  to  Dunstable  in  the 
campaigns  of  1756,  1756,  and  1757.  Fox's  **  Dunstable  **  says  he 
was  killed  in  the  service.

6.  Jambs  Fogg  Langdon^  son  of  Capt  Woodbury  ^  b.  Durham, 
April  27, 1804.  In  youth  he  was  employed  two  years  by  Ebenezer 
Coe,  Esq.,  a  merchant  and  an  eminent  citizen  of  North  wood,  and  later 
he  was  a  clerk  in  the  store  of  Hon.  John  Harvey,  also  of  Northwood. 
Many  who  remember  Mr.  Langdon  will  testify  that  if  he  had  pursued  a 
mercantile  career  he  would  have  become  successful  and  distinguished ; 
but  there  was  a  resistless  element  in  his  fraternal  nature  that  directed 
him  to  a  more  impulsive  and  a  closer  contact  with  his  fellowmen. 
For  thirty  years  he  was  a  driver  and  proprietor  of  stages  and  mail- 
coaches.  B^inning  1823,  he  drove  four  years  from  Laconia  to  North- 
wood,  owning  a  half  interest  in  the  properties  of  the  line.  From  1827 
to  1832  he  drove  for  Robert  Morse  the  stages  from  Rumney  to  Con- 
cord, making  three  round  trips  each  week.  The  next  four  years  he 
was  associated  with  William  French.  They  owned  the  stages  from 
Haverhill  to  Stanstead,  P.  Q.  In  1836  Mr.  Langdon  became  pro- 
prietor of  the  stages  from  Concord  to  Dover,  and  from  Meredith  to 
Dover.  He  drove  the  coaches  from  Concord  to  Dover.  Selling  these 
lines,  he  bought  in  1838  the  well-remembered  line  from  Haverhill  to 
Concord,  which  he  conducted  until  the  building  of  the  railroad.  He 
also  owned  the  stages  from  Plymouth  through  Franconia  Notch  to 
Lancaster  and  Stanstead.  In  the  carriage  of  parcels  and  in  doing 
errands  for  the  public,  the  drivers  of  the  stages  laid  the  early  founda- 
tions of  the  express  business.  When  the  swifter  locomotives  drove  the 
stages  from  the  road,  Mr.  Langdon  was  associated  with  Benjamin 
Pierce  Cheney  and  Nathaniel  White  in  an  express  business  from 
Boston  to  Montreal,  which  was  continued  until  the  purchase,  in  1881, 
by  the  American  Express  Company.  Mr.  Langdon  m.  Oct.  11, 1827,

MoOLUER. 

1.  Thomas  MgClubr,  b.  1746,  probably  a  son  of  William  and  a 
representative  of  the  Londonderry  family,  came  from  Merrimack  to 
Plymouth  in  the  spring  of  1768.  He  paid  taxes  in  Plymouth  from 
his  arrival  until  his  death.  While  taxed  each  year  on  his  farm,  he  did 
not  pay  a  poll-tax  for  the  years  1775, 1776, 1777,  and  1778.  And 
there  is  reason  for  the  supposition  that  he  lived  in  Merrimack  from 
1774  to  1778,  and  that  his  service  in  the  Revolution  was  performed 
from  that  town.  On  the  rolls  in  two  instances  he  is  styled  of 
Merrimack,  and  he  also  served  in  Capt  Bowers's  company,  which  was 
peculiarly  a  Merrimack  company.

Honora  Dougherty,  b.  Killarney,  Ireland,  1824,  dau.  of  Timothy 
Dougherty.  The  emigrants  to  America  exhibit  types  of  ability  and 
character  peculiar  to  the  forces  which  influenced  their  emigration. 
Sometimes  the  situation  in  the  old  country  sends  emigrants.  At 
another  time  the  demands  of  this  country  call  them.  The  emigrants 
from  Ireland  about  1850  were  not  only  sent  on  account  of  the  failure 
of  the  crops  but  they  were  called,  also,  to  meet  the  demands  of  an 
era  of  prosperity  and  enterprise.  No  group  of  emigrants  has  con- 
tributed more  substantially  to  the  industries  and  development  of  New 
England. 

John  Mitchell  and  his  wife  were  among  those  who  came  to 
America  in  1848.  He  lived  in  Plymouth  and  in  Rumney  about  two

Salem,  now  Derby.  He  was  an  enterprising  man  of  ability  and  a 
respected  citizen.  He  was  often  elected  to  office  and  was  several

NELSON. 

1.  John  Kelson  was  born  in  Stirling,  Scotland.  He  was  one  of 
the  small  colony  who  settled  at  the  head  of  tide  water  on  St.  George's 
Biver  in  Maine,  about  1753.  The  leader  of  the  settlement  was  Dea. 
John  Crawford,  who  was  an  able  and  a  prudent  manager. 

John  Nelson  was  a  trader,  conducting  a  business  incidental  to  a 
new  settlement,  but  unknown  at  the  present  time.  He  purchased 
light  wares  from  the  incoming  vessels  and  sold  them  to  the  stores  in 
the  towns  near  the  coast  In  Sabine's  ^  Loyalists,"  he  is  styled  a  pedler, 
but  in  a  modern  sense  the  word  is  not  fairly  expressive  of  his  business. 
In  the  Eevolution  he  was  a  loyalist  and  his  property  was  confiscated. 
.  He  was  driven  from  Warren  and  removed  to  Reading,  Mass.  After 
the  Bevolution,  and  as  soon  as  the  humanity  of  peace  soothed  the 
exacting  and  turbulent  spirit  of  war,  the  citizens  of  Warren  passed 
a  vote  of  approbation*  and  gave  him  leave  to  return  to  his  former 
home.  The  pride  of  John  Nelson  refused  the  invitation,  and  a  feeling 
that  he  had  been  harshly  and  unjustly  treated  by  his  former  towns- 
men hastened  his  death.  He  d.  in  Beading,  Mass.,  about  1800. 
While  a  resident  of  Warren  he  m.  Anna  Crawfoixl,  a  dau.  of  Dea- 
John  and  Sarah  (Fisher)  Crawford.  Dea.  John  Cmwford  was  an 
active  and  useful  citizen  of  Warren,  Me.,  and  is  frequently  and  honor- 
ably named  in  the  civil  and  military  annals  of  the  locality.  The 
name  of  a  mountain,  a  lake,  and  a  river  perpetuates  his  memory. 
Anna  (Crawford)  Nelson,  widow  of  John  Nelson,  d.  in  Beading,  Mass., 
March  4, 1815. 

2.  Ekv.  William  Nelson,  son  of  John  \  b.  Beading,  Mass.,  March 
29,  1791.  He  lived  a  few  years  in  Saugus  and  in  Beading,  Mass. 
In  1817  he  removed  to  Boxbury,  in  Cheshire  Co.,  where  he  res. 
ten  years  and  where  five  of  his  children  were  born.  At  this 
time  he  was  a  fanner  and  occupied  a  large  farm  formerly  known  as 
the  Crossman  farm.  Here  as  elsewhere  his  ability  and  usefulness 
wera  promptly  recognized.    He  gave  a  loyal  support  to  the  schools  and 


KELSOK.  486 

he  was  a  selectman  of  Roxbury,  1823-1825.  In  1825  he  was 
licensed  to  preach  by  the  Methodist  Conference,  and  was  elected 
secretary  of  sevei-al  quarterly  meetings  on  the  Winchester  circuit, 
which  included  Winchester,  Koxbury,  Rindge,  and  other  towns  in  the 
southwest  part  of  New  Hampshire.  The  license  was  renewed  in  1826, 
and  in  1827,  at  the  age  of  36  years,  he  was  admitted  on  trial  to  the 
New  England  Conference  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  Two 
years  later,  at  the  division  of  the  Conference,  he  was  admitted  to  the 
New  Hampshire  and  Vermont  Conferenca  According  to  the  usage 
largely  prevailing,  his  appointments  were  to  circuits  including  churches 
and  preaching  stations  in  several  adjoining  towns,  and  two  or  more 
were  generally  sent  to  each  circuit.  His  first  appointment  was  to 
the  Ashbuniham,  Mass.,  circuit  in  1827,  where  he  remained,  living  in 
Asliburnham  two  years.  His  associate  on  the  circuit  was  Rev.  H.  G. 
Woolley.  In  1829  he  was  appointed,  again  with  Mr.  Woolley,  to 
the  Winchester  circuit  In  1830  he  was  admitted  to  full  connection, 
was  ordciined  a  deacon,  and  was  appointed  to  Sandwich.  His  co- 
laborer  was  Jolin  Worcester.  His  next  appointment,  1831,  was  to 
Plymouth,  and  the  junior  preacher  was  Matthew  Newhall.  In  1832 
he  was  ordained  an  elder  and  appointed  to  Newbury,  Vt.,  in  the 
Danville  district.  In  1833  and  1834  he  was  appointed  to  the 
Corinth  circuit 

In  1835  and  1836  he  was  superannuated.  He  purchased  a  farm 
in  this  town  near  the  line  of  Hebron,  and  removed  to  Plymouth  in 
April,  1835.  Here  he  subsequently  res.  In  1837  he  was  ap- 
pointed to  Plymouth  with  Holman  Drew  and  Lorenzo  D.  Blodgett, 
and  again  the  following  year  with  E.  B.  Fletcher  and  S.  G.  Scott. 
In  1839  he  was  appointed  to  West  Plymouth  with  H.  G. 
Woolley,  his  early  associate  in  the  ministry,  and  the  following  year 
again  at  West  Plymouth.  His  last  appointment  was  to  Bristol,  in 
1841.  The  junior  pastor  this  year  was  Rev.  Henry  H.  Hartwell, 
now  living  in  Suncook.  In  the  following  years  he  preached  when 
duty  called,  and  fix>ni  time  to  time  supi)lied  several  vacant  pulpits. 
In  school  and  town  affairs  the  services  of  Rev.  William  Nelson  were 
frequently  sought,  and  cheerfully  rendered  with  unfailing  ability.  He 
was  a  selectman  of  Plymouth,  1838, 1839, 1849,  and  1850  ;  a  repre- 
sentative, 1836  and  1837;  and  a  delegate  to  the  constitutional  con- 
vention, 1850.    He  d.  Jan.  2,  1859. 

Such,  briefly  stated,  are  the  outlines  that  define  and  the  milestones 


486  KELSON. 

that  measure  the  life  of  Bev.  William  Nelaon.  He  has  been  dead 
nearly  fifty  years,  yet  the  appreciative  tributes  to  his  memory,  the 
testimony  of  those  who  knew  him,  and  the  sweet  influence  of  a 
devoted  life  are  not  lessened  or  obscured  by  the  lapse  of  time.  He 
was  of  commanding  presence,  direct  and  forceful,  yet  not  unaccom- 
plished in  manner,  and  of  a  dignified  and  stately  bearing.  In  his 
daily  intercourae  with  his  fellowmen  he  was  candid  and  serious,  yet 
always  sympathetic  and  affectionate.  He  ever  enjoyed  the  confidence 
and  the  friendship  of  his  fellowmen.  While  stationed  in  Vermont  he 
was  associated  with  the  founders  of  the  Newbury  Seminary,  and 
during  life  he  was  foremost  in  the  reforms  and  the  educational  enter- 
prises  of  the  church.  After  the  years  of  his  active  ministry  his 
advice  in  civil  and  in  ecclesiastical  affairs  was  often  sought  and  was 
always  wise.  The  many  elections  to  office,  here  recorded,  are  evidence 
of  such  qualities  of  mind  and  character,  and  for  many  years  lie  was 
called  Father  Nelson.  As  a  preacher  he  was  impressive  and  instructive. 
His  sermons  were  thoughtful  and  lucid,  and  he  was  regai-ded  as  one  of 
the  ablest  preachers  connected  with  the  conference.  Bev.  Henry  H. 
Hartwell,  who  was  appointed  with  Mr.  Nelson  at  Bristol,  1841,  and 
tlie  only  surviving  colaborer  in  the  ministry,  in  a  recent  testimonial 
says,  **  Brother  Nelson  was  a  good  preacher  and  a  man  of  God."

Jan.  31, 1819,  Nancy  Bussell,  dau.  of  Moor  Bussell  (see).  For  many 
years  he  was  an  enterprising  and  successful  merchant  in  Plymouth, 
also  having  stores  in  Campton,  Oampton  Hollow,  West  Gampton, 
Thornton,  and  Hebron.  In  1816  he  removed  to  Oampton,  returning 
to  Plymouth,  1827.  He  purchased  and  occupied  the  Weld  estate. 
His  store  also  was  on  South  Main  Street  The  hard  times  and  slow 
collections  which  succeeded  the  memorable  panic  of  1837  caused  his 
failure  in  business.  Surrendering  all  he  possessed  to  his  creditors,  he 
opened  a  tea  store  in  New  Bedford,  Mass.,  and  subsequently  conducted 
a  similar  store  in  New  York.  During  these  years  he  maintained  a 
l^al  residence  in  Plymouth.  With  gathering  years  he  longed  for  his 
old  home,  and  retiring  from  active  business  he  settled  upon  the  G^rge 
Ward  farm  in  Plymouth.  During  the  active  years  of  his  life,  his 
beautiful  home  on  South  Main  Street  contained  a  well-selected  library, 
and  during  life  he  was  a  discriminating  reader  of  science  and  the  best 
literature.  He  was  a  man  of  generous  impulses.  He  gave  freely 
to  the  poor  and  in  support  of  every  commendable  charity.  It  is  a 
familiar  saying  that  the  name  of  John  Bogers  could  be  found  on  every 
subscription  paper  of  his  time.  He  was  a  firm  and  consistent  sup- 
porter of  the  Congregational  Church  and  a  liberal  contributor  to  the 
funds  of  the  parish.  He  was  a  director  of  the  Pemigewasset  Bank,  a 
trustee  of  Holmes  Plymouth  Academy,  and  at  all  times  a  good  towns- 
man, and  a  willing  and  able  promoter  of  every  measure  of  public 
progress.  Tall  and  well  proportioned,  of  impressive  presence,  easy 
and  dignified  in  manner,  John  Bogers  is  remembered  as  a  pleasing 
representative  of  the  gentlemen  of  the  old  school.    He  d.  Dec.  17i

White  &  Gannett,  where  he  remained  until  1862,  engaging  with 
William  L.  Bradley,  the  founder  of  an  extensive  business,  and  now

manufacturers  in  that  line  in  the  world.  He  has  travelled  extensively 
in  New  Hampshire  and  the  other  New  England  States,  and  in  the 
enlargement  of  the  business  which  has  received  his  attention  he  has 
been  a  potent  factor.  He  was  president  of  the  White  Mountain 
Travellers'  Association,  1894,  and  is  a  director  of  Commercial  Travel- 
lers' Eastern  Accident  Association  and  of  Commercial  Travellers'

and  an  entertaining  and  accomplished  companion.  He  reads  the 
face  of  nature  with  the  delight  of  an  artist,  and  with  tender  sympathy 
he  assimilates  the  joys  of  life  and  the  lessons  of  human  experience. 
The  language  of  such  thought  and  emotion  is  poetry,  and  his  discourse 
in  verse  is  his  most  fitting  biography.  He  m.  Sept  26,  1884,  Helen

9.  William  Wallace  Busskll,  son  of  Moor  ^  b.  Plymouth,  May  16> 
1801.  He  was  a  merchant  of  Plymouth,  and  to  this  business  he 
devoted  the  cnei^ies  and  the  years  of  an  active,  useful  life.  In  youth 
he  was  a  clerk  in  the  store  of  his  father,  and  later  of  his  oldest  brother, 
being  admitted  a  partner  in  1826.  His  brother  retired  from  business 
and  removed  to  Alabama  in  1833.  The  ensuing  two  years  he  was 
sole  proprietor,  and  subsequently  he  conducted  business  in  the  brick 
and  the  depot  stores,  with  several  partners,  until  1869.  As  a  merchant 
he  was  enterprising,  methodical,  and  successful.  With  unusual  sagacity 
he  met  and  often  anticipated  the  many  changes  in  the  conditions  in 
business  which  attended  his  career.  The  eight-horse  teams  hauling 
goods  from  Portsmouth  and  Boston  were  displaced  by  therailroad,  and 
barter  trade  and  long  credits  were  happily  succeeded  by  cash  payments. 
He  was  a  trustee  of  Holmes  Plymouth  Academy.  He  was  generous  in 
spirit,  affable  in  manner,  and  a  liberal  patron  of  every  worthy  cause.

the  needy,  he  was  loved  for  his  kindness  to  his  fellow-men,  and  re-

SELLINGHAM. 


The  Sellingham  families  of  this  town  are  representatives  of  a  group 
of  emigrants  that  made  a  commendable  record,  and  have  an  interesting 
history.  They  were  Protestants,  from  near  the  Ehine  in  Germany. 
They  did  not  emigrate  to  New  England  at  one  time,  but  immediately 
after  1760  several  families  were  living  in  and  near  Boston,  Mass. 
Their  imperfect  knowledge  of  the  English  language  and  other  reasons, 
at  once  apparent,  encouraged  them  to  settle  in  one  community.  The 
town  of  Lexington,  Mass.,  possessed  one  thousand  acres  of  land  in  the 
town  of  Ashburnham,  Mass.  By  a  deed,  bearing  date  of  December, 
1757,  they  purchased  the  Lexington  Grant  and  divided  it  into  farms 
among  themselves.  This  section  of  the  town  is  known  to  the  present 
time  as  "  The  Dutch  Farms." 

The  original  grantees  were  Henry  Hall,  Christian  William  Whiteman, 
Jacob  Schoffe,  Simon  Bodamel,  Peter  Perry,  John  Rich,  and  John 
Kiblinger.  Immediately  they  were  joined  by  other  emigrants  from  the 
same  locality  in  Germany,  who  settled  near  them  in  the  same  township. 
The  added  names  are  Jacob  and  Henry  Sellingham,  Andrew  Windrow, 
Henry  Stack,  Jacob  Constantine,  Jacob  Barkardst,  John  Oberlock, 
Philip  Vorback,  and  Jacob  Wilker.  They  were  educated,  intelligent 
people,  thrifty  in  business,  zealous  in  the  support  of  schools,  and  good 
substantial  citizens.  They  had  fled  from  tyranny  in  their  native  land, 
and  were  prompt  in  a  rational  resistance  of  oppression  in  any  form.  In 
all  the  elements  of  patriotism  they  were  trained  and  ripened  for  the 
Revolution,  and  during  the  war  they  contributed  their  full  proportion 
in  service,  sacrifice,  and  treasure.  From  the  first,  they  were  received 
in  good  fellowship,  and  they  bore  their  share  of  the  burdens  of  munici- 
pal affairs.  From  this  thrifty  community  John  Rich,  in  1775,  removed 
to  Haverhill  and  ten  years  later  to  Maidstone,  Vt  He  was  a  select- 
man of  Ashburnham,  Mass.,  a  trusted  agent  of  the  State  government, 
and  a  soldier  at  Haverhill  during  the  Revolution,  and  subsequently 
many  years  a  representative  in  the  Legislature  of  Vermont.  He  m. 
1763,  Catherine  Sophia  Whiteman,  whom  he  had  known  in  the  father- 
land. His  sons,  John,  Henry,  Jacob,  and  Moody,  were  prominent  men 
in  town  and  county  affairs.  Rich  Stevens,  a  sheriff  of  Essex  Co., 
was  a  son  of  his  daughter  Elizabeth.  He  d.  Sept  30, 1813,  aged  84 ; 
his  widow,  Catherine,  d.  April  14, 1818,  aged  82. 

Jacob  Schoife  removed  from  Ashburnham,  Mass.,  to  Haverhill  about 
1774,  and  soon  after  to  Essex  Co.,  Vt.      His  son  Jacob,  b.  1767,

was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution,  frontier  service,  and  d.  in  Maidstone, 
Vt,  aged  over  80  years.  His  other  sons  were  John,  Daniel,  and  Henry, 
and  their  descendants  have  lived  in  Qrafton  and  Coos  Cos.  The 
family  of  Bodamel  generally  assumed  the  name  of  Rodiman  and 
Dimond.  Jacob  Dimond,  son  of  the  emigrant,  b.  June  3, 1760.  After 
the  Revolution,  in  which  he  was  a  soldier,  he  settled  in  Claremont, 
where  he  d.,  March  16, 1826. . 

Christian  William  Whiteman  removed  with  a  part  of  his  children  in 
1796  to  Warren,  where  William  Whiteman  had  previously  located.

his  sons,  Henry,  Jr.,  and  Jacob,  settled  in  Thornton  about  1776.  The 
foregoing  statement  of  the  origin  of  several  worthy  families  of  Grafton 
and  Coos  Cos.  was  made  by  the  writer  for  the  "  History  of  Littleton."

SIMPSON- 

1.  William  Simpson,  from  Portsmouth,  settled  in  Orford  as  early 
as  1770,  and  was  a  selectman  of  that  town,  1771.  At  the  organization 
of  Orafton  Co.,  1773,  he  was  appointed  sheriff.  It  appears  that 
John  Fenton  and  Jonathan  M.  Sewall  came  to  Grafton  Co.,  as 
officials  and  that  an  appointment  to  office  was  the  primary  cause  of 
their  removal  to  the  new  county.  Mr.  Simpson  was  in  the  territory 
before  the  county  was  created  by  the  provincial  legislature  and  three 


SIMPSON  —  SLYB  —  SMITH.  688 

years  before  it  was  organized  by  Gov.  John  Wentworth.  He  removed 
from  Orford  to  Plymouth,  1773,  and  returned  to  Orford,  1775,  or  early 
in  the  year  1776.  He  paid  poll  and  land  tax  in  Plymouth,  1774  and 
1775.  In  1776  Amos  Fisk  was  taxed  for  the  farm  of  William 
Simpson.  It  is  sufficient  to  state  that  he  removed  from  Plymouth  to 
his  estate  in  Orford  at  the  time  he  was  succeeded  in  office  by 
Jotham  Cummings.  Mr.  Simpson  paid  taxes  in  Plymouth  as 
"  Improver  of  the  farm  of  John  Fenton  "  for  the  years  1776  to  1779, 
but  he  was  not  assessed  in  Plymouth  as  a  resident  except  for  the  two 
years  stated.  He  was  a  selectman  of  Orford,  1778^  and  succeeding 
years,  and  was  a  prominent  man  of  the  county.  His  brief  residence 
in  this  town  was  an  incident  in  his  official  relations.

good  man,  and  many  of  those  who  treasure  the  traditions  of  Plymouth

years  and  at  Williams  College,  junior  year.  A.M.  Dartmouth,  1867 ;

Harvard  Law  School,  1858,  and  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Worcester  Co,  in 
the  autumn  of  1858.  He  passed  the  ensuing  two  years  in  study  at 
the  Universities  of  Berlin,  Munich,  and  Paris.  Upon  his  return  he 
entered,  1860,  the  office  of  Seaman,  McCagg  &  Fuller,  of  Chicago,  111. 

He  enlisted,  a  private,  April  21,  1861,  in  the  1st  Illinois  Light 
Artillery,  promoted  sergeant  and  commended  for  efficiency  and  skill  in 
drilling  his  men.  The  term  of  enlistment  was  short,  and  upon  his 
discharge  he  was  a  guest  for  a  few  weeks  of  his  uncle  William  Lev- 
erett  in  Plymouth.  At  this  time  New  Hampshire  was  raising  four 
companies  of  cavalry  which  subsequently  were  consolidated  with  eight 
companies  raised  in  Rhode  Island  and  known  as  the  1st  Rhode  Island 
Cavalry  and  also  as  the  1st  New  England  Cavalry.  Asserting  a  life- 
long fondness  for  the  horse,  he  entered  this  arm  of  the  service,  and  was 
commissioned  by  Gov.  Berry  a  first  lieutenant,  Oct  9, 1861.  Hispi-o- 
motions  were  richly  earned  and  won  by  gallant  conduct  and  valiant 
service.  He  was  commissioned  a  captain,  Dec.  9, 1861,  major,  July 
3, 1862,  and  lieutenant  colonel,  July  11, 1862.  In  the  spring  of  1864,

the  organization  of  eight  new  companies  of  New  Hampshire  men, 
under  the  name  of  the  1st  New  Hampshire  Cavalry.  Lt  CoL  Thomi)- 
son  was  commissioned  by  Gov.  Gilmore,  colonel  of  this  regiment, 
March  17, 1864.  It  is  history,  if  not  a  matter  of  record,  that  he  ac- 
cepted this  commission  on  the  expressed  condition  that  Gov.  Gilmore 
would  not  select  the  officers  of  the  eight  new  companies  without  his 
approval    This  agreement  was  honored  by  the  governor.    **  For  dis-

tinguished  and  meritorious  service"  and  on  the  recommendation  of 
Gen.  Sheridan  he  was  breveted  brigadier-general,  March  13,  1865. 
He  was  mustered  out  at  the  close  of  the  war,  July  15,  1865.  For  a 
generous  tribute  to  a  gallant  officer  and  brave  man,  see  an  appre- 
ciative sketch  by  Senator  Blair  in  Vol.  III.,  Proceedings  Grafton  and

Declining  a  commission  in  the  regular  army.  Gen.  Thompson  re- 
turned to  Chicago,  and  in  tlie  spring  of  1866  formed  a  partnership 
with  Norman  Williams,  a  native  of  Woodstock,  Vt.,  and  a  classmate 
at  Mcrideu.  Gen.  Thompson  was  a  learned  lawyer  and  an  able  advo- 
cate. In  court  his  energy  and  vigilance  made  him  a  formidable 
adversary,  and  in  the  heated  conflicts  of  his  profession  the  coolness  and 
self-command  of  the  lawyer  were  as  conspicuous  as  the  constant 
energy  and  heroism  of  the  soldier.

THORNTON. 

1.  jA^fEB  Thornton,  b.  near  Londonderry,  Ireland,  1685,  was  the 
emigrant  ancestor  of  a  family  distinguished  in  the  annals  of  New 
Hampsliire.  He  came  to  America  1718,  and  it  is  believed  that  he 
was  included  in  the  twenty  families  who  spent  the  following  winter 
in  a  ship  at  Falmouth,  Me.  In  the  spring  of  1719  he  settled  in 
Wiscasset,  Me.,  and  a  very  few  years  later  he  removed  to  Worcester, 
Mass.  The  story  of  the  fortunes  of  the  Scotch-Irish  Presbyterians  in 
Worcester  from  about  1720  to  1740  is  an  interesting  chapter  of  the 
early  history  of  that'town.  They  were  driven  from  Worcester.  They 
did  not  leave  in  a  body,  but  colonies  and  families,  about  1740,  removed 
to  towns  in  Massachusetts  and  New  Hampshire  where  they  were 
assured  of  a  more  friendly  reception.     James  Thornton  organized  a 


676  THOBNTON. 

colony  of  thirty-four  families,  and  in  their  behalf  he  and  Robert 
Peebles  purchased  of  CoL  John  Stoddard,  of  Northampton,  Jan. 
21, 1739,  a  tract  of  land  for  a  township  fram  the  territory  known  as 
'*  Equivalent  Lands."  Of  this  purchase  James  Thornton  owned 
fourteen-sixtieths  and  Robert  Peebles,  five-sixtieths.  The  settlement 
was  called  the  ♦'lisburne  Propriety,"  or  "New  Lisburne,"  and  was 
established  as  the  town  of  Pelham,  Mass.,  Jan.  15, 1743.  While  he 
remained  in  Pelham,  James  Thornton  was  the  foremost  and  most 
conspicuous  man  in  the  affairs  of  the  settlement  In  1743  the  people 
of  Pelham  extended  a  call  to  Eev.  Bobert  Abercrombie,  and  he  was 
ordained  the  following  year.  Against  these  proceedings,  James 
Thornton  entered  a  formal  protest  in  writing,  and  it  is  possible  that 
his  removal  from  Pelham  may  have  been  a  sequence  of  these  pro- 
ceedings. He  removed,  1748,  to  Londonderry,  where  his  son  Matthew 
had  been  living  several  years.  He  d.  in  Londonderry,  Nov.  7, 1754, 
in  his  seventieth  year. 

The  traditions  of  the  family,  that  the  wife  of  James  Thornton  and 
the  mother  of  his  children  was  Elizabeth  Jenkins,  are  ancient  and 
well  established.  In  the  sale  of  land  in  Worcester,  Feb.  14, 1740,  a 
wife.Eetiran  joins  in  the  conveyance,  which  suggests  a  second  wife. 
Beference  is  made  to  histories  of  Worcester,  Mass.,  Pelham,  Mass., 
and  to  a  scholarly  sketch  of  "  Matthew  Thornton,  A  Patriot  of  the 
American  Revolution,"  by  Charles  Thornton  Adams,  Esq.,  of  New 
York,  1903,  62  pp.  Of  the  family  of  James  Thornton,  a  record  is 
'found  of  eight  children.    The  order  of  age  is  not  known*

children  apparently  born  1735  to  1750,  and  Eleanor,  Abraham,

1.  Joshua  Thornton,  son  of  Joshua,  was  b.  in  Mendon,  Mass., 
Nov.  1, 1763.  In  his  boyhood  he  lived  in  Uxbridge,  Mass.  There 
is  not  a  record  of  this  family  in  that  town,  and  I  have  failed  to  secure 
information  of  his  parents.  The  descendants  of  Bev.  Thomas  Thornton 
of  Yarmouth,  who  d.  in  Boston,  Feb.  15, 1700,  aged  93,  were  quite 
numerous  in  Massachusetts,  and  among  them  Joshua  is  a  familiar 
name.  When  a  boy  of  less  than  twelve  years,  Josliua  Thoiiiton  en- 
listed in  April  or  May,  1775,  for  the  term  of  eight  mouths.  He  was 
a  fifer  and  served  in  Capt.  Wyman's  company.  Col.  Patterson's  regi- 
ment, in  the  siege  of  Boston.  In  Dec.,  1775,  or  Jan.,  1776,  in  company 
with  the  Penniman  family,  he  removed  from  Uxbridge  to  Moultou- 
boro,  and  in  1777  enlisted  into  the  Continental  service  under  Lieut 
Adna  Penniman,  in  Capt  Cray's  company.  Col.  Scammell's  raiment 
In  this  service  he  was  a  fifer.  (See  the  story  of  his  service  in  Vol.  I) 
He  was  fife  major,  and  was  discliarged  in  1780.  At  the  time  of  his 
discharge,  the  Penniman  family,  with  whom  he  had  a  home,  had 
removed  from  Moultonboro'  to  Plymouth,  and  he  lived  in  this  town 
from  1780  to  1805.  He  taught  several  terms  of  school,  was  a  farmer, 
and  for  several  years  he  owned  an  interest  in  the  Blodgett  grist-mill. 
His  home  was  near  the  residence  of  Charles  H.  Fletcher.  He  was  a 
man  of  forceful  character  and  of  more  than  average  ability.  He  was 
a  selectman,   1790,  1797,   1798,    1800-1804,  and    representative.

21.  James  Wilson  Ward,  son  of  Rev.  Jonathan*  b.  AIna,  Me., 
May  21, 1803.  Was  fifteen  years  of  age  when  his  father  came  to  this 
tOMm.  The  years  of  his  youth  and  his  school  vacations  were  passed 
in  Plymouth.  He  graduated  with  honors,  Dartmouth  College,  1826; 
taught  in  the  academies  of  South  Berwick,  Ma,  and  Ipswich,  Mass., 
and  pursued  the  prescribed  course  of  study  of  theology  at  Andover  and 
New  Haven.  He  was  ordained  and  installed  over  the  First  Congrega- 
tional Church  of  Abington,  Mass.,  1834.  He  was  a  fearless  advocate 
of  the  cause  of  anti-slavery.  In  1835  George  Thompson  was  making 
his  memorable  visit  to  the  United  States.  Mr.  Ward  invited  him  to 
speak  from  his  pulpit  The  venerable  father  of  Mr.  Ward,  was  a 
guest  on  the  occasion.  Public  sentiment  did  not  approve  of  the  pro- 
ceeding, and  while  Mr.  Thompson  was  speaking,  the  meeting  house 
was  assailed  by  a  mob,  and  windows  were  broken  by  flying  missiles. 
Mr.  Thompson  escaped  from  threatened  personal  danger,  guarded  on 
one  side  by  the  wife  of  the  young  pastor  and  on  the  other  by  his  aged 
father.  Mr.  Ward  had  been  in  Abington  one  year.  The  people  had 
not  learned  the  measure  of  his  courage.  He  made  the  study  of  his 
character  an  easy  problem.    The  next  Sabbath  he  preached  a  sermon

on  mobs;  and  from  that  hour  tbey  understood  him,  honored  him, 
loved  him.  As  a  preacher,  he  was  able  and  faithful,  and  a  diligent 
student  of  the  theological  problems  of  the  day.  He  was  a  frequent 
contributor  to  the  religious  press.  In  public  afiTairs  he  manifested  a 
good  and  enduring  interest,  and  was  elected  to  both  branch^  of  the 
legislature.  His  voice  failing,  he  obtained  a  dismissal  in  1856,  and 
resided  a  few  years  in  Madison,  Wis.,  and  in  Davenport,  Iowa.  The 
last  ten  years  of  his  life,  he  lived  in  Lakeville,  Mass.,  and  supplied  the

WILLOUGHBY. 

1.  John  Willouohby  was  a  resident  of  Billerica,  Mass.^  from  1735 
to  1745.  It  is  suggested  by  Rev.  Henry  A.  Hazen  that  probably  he 
was  a  son  of  John  Willoughby,  b.  Dec  11, 1688,  who  was  a  son  of 
Nehemiah,  b.  June  18,  1644,  a  son  of  Depnty-Gov.  Francis.  This 
is  possible  but  it  remains  to  be  proven.  John  Willoughby  m.  in 
Billerica,  March  27, 1735,  Anna  Chamberlain,  b.  April  3,  1712,  dau. 
of  John  and  Maigaret  (Qould)  Cliamberlain,  of  Billerica.  In  1745  he 
removed  to  HoUis,  and  two  years  later  he  established  his  home  on  the 
west  side  of  Pine  HilL  He  m.  second,  June  28,  1774,  Elizabeth 
Sprague,  b.  Billerica,  June  20, 1727,  dau.  of  Nicholas  and  Elizabeth 
(Surge)  Sprague.  This  name  was  often  written  Sprake,  and  is  thus 
written  in  the  Hollis  record  of  the  marriage.  He  d.  in  Hollis,  Feb.  2, 
1793.  Twelve  children ;  six  b.  Billerica,  and  six  b.  Hollis.  He  was 
a  grantee  of  Plymouth  and  one  of  the  exploring  party  who,  before  the 
charter,  visited  Plymouth,  1762.  His  dau.  Kebecca  ul  Thomas 
Nevins  (see). 

2.  John  Willouohby,  son  of  John  \  b.  Billerica,  Mass.,  Dea  24, 
1735,  was  ten  years  of  age  when  the  family  removed  to  Hollis.  He 
served  three  enlistments  in  the  French  and  Indian  War,  in  Capt 
Peter  Powers's  company,  CoL  Joseph  Blanchard's  r^ment,  from  April 
24  to  Nov.  25, 1766;  in  Capt  Amos  Gage's  company,  M^j.  Thomas

Tash*s  battalion,  from  July  21  to  Nov.  2, 1757 ;  in  Capt  Nehemiah 
Loveweirs  company,  CoL  John  Hart's  regiment,  from  April  27  to  Oct 
26,  1758.  He  m.  in  Hollis,  May  28, 1758,  Azubah  Wheeler.  The 
date  of  the  marriage  falls  within  the  term  of  service  in  CoL  Hart's 
regiment  It  is  of  easy  explanation,  since  CoL  Hart's  regiment  on 
account  of  a  deficiency  of  money  in  the  provincial  treasury,  was  de- 
tained within  New  Hampshire  until  June,  1768.  He  was  one  of  the 
grantees  of  Plymouth  and  one  of  the  exploring  party  who  came  here, 
1762.  In  1764,  with  the  first  families  to  arrive,  he  came  to  Plymouth, 
removing  his  family  the  following  year.  During  the  Kevolution  he 
was  captain  of  the  Plymouth  company  of  CoL  Hobart's  regiment  and 
twice  in  1777  he  led  his  company  into  service.  (See  VoL  L)  In 
town  aflairs  he  was  a  good  citizen,  and  to  the  church  he  was  faithful 
and  loyal,  and  a  deacon  sixty-eight  years.  His  wife,  Azubah,  d.  Oct, 
1815.  He  d.  June  22, 1834  Three  children  b.  Hollis,  and  nine  b.

town  records  give  Oct.,  1777,  as  the  date  of  the  death,  and  war
