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
y. George^ Charlotte E. Dearborn, Martha M. Clark, Helen M.

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-
burg, Mass., for his efficient assistance in compiling the Merrill
Tester, to C. F, Surge of HoUis and Guy S, Rix of Concord
for polite attention to repeated inquiries. From Dexter D. Dow

register of probate, to succeed Jonathan M. Sewall. It is probable
that this appointment was the occasion of his removal to Plymouth.
He attended the April term of the court of sessions, and was selected
by the court to act as the Eing^s attorney, and again at the April
term, 1775. At the June term of the court of common pleas, 1774,
he entered five actions. In advance of many who were holding office
by royal appointment he openly declared for the cause of the Ameri-
can patriots. With the force of a vigorous mind and the influence of
a worthy character he earnestly combated a waning sentiment of
loyalty to the crown. In the fourth provincial congress, which con-
vened at Exeter, May 17, 1775, and was dissolved, Nov. 15, 1775,
Abel Webster was a delegate, representing Plymouth, Gamptou,
Sumney, and New Chester. About the middle of the session Moses
Dow was admitted a delegate, representing Plymouth and Bumney.
During the remainder of the session of the fourth provincial Congress,
Plymouth and Rumney enjoyed the service of two trusted delegates.
In 1776 Moses Dow was an agent of Plymouth to receive arms and
ammunition from the State. He removed from Plymouth to Haver-
hill, 1779. He was a representative from Haverhill, 1781, 1782,
1790, 1793. Councillor under temporary constitution for the official
year, Dec. 17, 1788, to June 2, 1784, and senator under the permanent
constitution for the years, beginning June, 1784 and 1791, and the
last year he was president of the senate ; councillor, 1785 and 1786.
He also was postmaster, town clerk, moderator, treasurer, and select-
man of Haverhill. He was continued in the office of register of pro-
bate until 1808, when he resigned to accept the appointment of
justice of the court of common pleas for Grafton County, which office
he held until his death. In the militia his premotions, running an
even race with his honors in law and in politics, wore fully earned
by popularity and efficient service. He rose to the rank of major-
general and retired frem the service 18 — . Gen. Dow, as appears,
lived in Plymouth only a few years, and an extended sketch is not
demanded in this connection. Reference is made to notices, which
are found in Bench and Bar History of Haverhill, '' Granite Monthly,"

He attended the meetings of the proprietors and received the several
parcels of land awarded him in the successive divisions. In 1778,

He was the first white male child born in Plymouth. It has been
stated in print in several papers that Bev. James Hobart, son of
Oapt« James, was the first boy bom in Plymouth, and all the author-
ities and records assert that he was bom August 2, 1766, when little
Josiah was nearly a year old. Kev. Grant Powers, who wrote with the
benefit of fresher traditions, stated with bold confidence that Josiah
was the first male child bom in the town of Plymouth. Beference is
made elsewhere to Lydia Webster, dau. of Stephen Webster, who was
bom June 2, 1765, being the first child bom in this town. Josiah

was a deacon, and in 1801, as shown by the records, he sought the
advice of the church in regard to his preparation for the ministry.

JOHNSON-
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.

He was successful in shipping and mercantile business, and in public
affairs he was a resolute and a dominant factor. He was a member
of the house of representatives, 1777-1779, and a delegate to the
Continental Congress, attending sessions, 1779-1781; State Coun-
cillor, 1781-1783; and under the State Constitution he was a mem-
ber of the first Senate, 1784, and president of that body. During the

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,

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

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

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."

5. John Rogbrs, son of Dr. John^ b. Plymouth, May 1, 1790. m.
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

Rogers, b. Plymouth, Nov. 30, 1819. He received his education at
Hopkinton, at Holmes Academy, and at Phillips Academy, An-
dover, Mass. At the age of twenty-one he was admitted to the firm
of John Rogers & Son, merchants of PlyiQOUth and Campton. A few
years later he removed to Boston, Mass., engaging in the hardware
trade. He was of the firm, Oallender, Rogers & Hilton, of Scudder,
Rogers & Co., and later, senior partner of Rogers, Snelling & Co., and
during the last twenty years of his life, under the firm name of John
P. Rogers & Co., and associated with the large English house of Rose,
Inness & Co., of London. He conducted an extensive export business
to South America. He was a disciplined man, of superior ability, an
elegant penman, and an exponent of the highest ideal of business
honor and integrity. In his home and among his friends his af-
fections and sympathies were spontaneous, yet steadfast and enduring.
He was an appreciative student of the English classics and of poetry,
and his retentive memory was stored with choice selections of his
favorite authors. He was a man of attractive presence and of a
military bearing; his alert, elastic step and quick movements
were maintained through life. He d. in Boston, Mass., March 13,

In 1848, leaving the home and the town which he loved, he found
employment in the general store of E. S. Thayer & Co., Milford, Mass.
Two years later with a partner he purchased the store, and under the
firm name of Brown & Rogers conducted business about five years.
BOGBBa 681
He then entered the employ of the agricultural house of Parker,
White & Gannett, where he remained until 1862, engaging with
William L. Bradley, the founder of an extensive business, and now
known as the American Agricultural Chemical Company, the largest
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'
Benefit Association, Boston, Mass. Mr. Sogers is a genial gentleman
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
Greeley Byron, b. August 8, 1855, dau. of Albert Augustus and Mary
Elizabeth (Allen) Byron, of Chelsea, Mass. Two sons.

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.
A kind and indulgent father, a good citizen of Plymouth, and a friend of
the needy, he was loved for his kindness to his fellow-men, and re-
spected for his integrity and unblemished character. He m. Nov. 9,

knowledge of law, and with a manner affable and winning, he en-
tered upon the labors of his profession with an unusual assurance
of success. He was brought into competition with men of high

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.
Henry Sellingham, son of Jacob, the emigrant, b. about 1735, with
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."
Two of these families are found in Plymouth.

Gov. John Wentworth, 1771, a grant of 2,550 acres adjoining the west
line of Conway, now a part of Albany, and the continued favor of
Gov. Wentworth made him a grantee of Albany, Eaton, and Chatham.
He settled in the part of Moultonborough called Moultonborough

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

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.

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

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,
New Hampshire recalled the battalion from the raiment and Ix^u

under the name of the 1st New Hampshire Cavalry. Lt CoL Thomi)-
son was commissioned by Gov. Gilmore, colonel of this regiment,

approval This agreement was honored by the governor. ** For dis-

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.

ber and two years the president of the Citizens' Association* Many
years he was a member of the Union League of Chicago, and was elected

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

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*

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.

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
WARD. 699
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
pulpit there without assuming the full responsibilities of a pastor.
