PREFACE. 


This  work  has  taken  a  considerable  part  of  ni)-  time  for  nearly 
ten  years,  and  has  been  quite  expensive  in  many  ways.  If  a  full 
year's  time  and  the  expenditure  of  two  thousand  dollars  could 
have  been  given  in  addition  for  research  in  England,  the  comi)lete 
English  record  of  the  family  could  have  been  secured,  but  I  have 
not  felt  that  I  could  afford  either  time  or  expense. 

I  started  with  the  idea,  simply,  of  tracing  my  own  line  of  an- 
cestry, but  have  found  this  pleasant  work  leading  me  into  so  many 
other  different  lines  that  as  a  record  of  the  Hodgdon  family  in 
America  it  is  more  complete  than  was  at  first  intended. 

Thanks  are  due  to  Frederick  M.  Hodgdon  of  Haverhill,  Mass., 
also  to  Fordyce  C.  B.  Hodgdon  of  Key  West,  Fla.,  who  have 
kindly  offered  to  share  in  the  expense  of  publication  ;  also  to  Miss 
Almira  L.  White  of  Haverhill  for  the  able  and  conscientious  man- 
ner in  which  she  has  edited  the  book,  and  to  all  others  who  have 
kindly  furnished  information  and  pictures. 

In  the  years  of  expansion  of  this  country  the  Hodgdon  family 
has  had  its  share,  and  in  the  pursuit  of  industry  and  commerce 
has  gone  into  many  of  the  states  of  the  union.  Naturally  the 
tracing  of  genealogical  records  has,  therefore,  met  with  some  diffi- 
culties and  the  result  is  likely  to  fall  short  of  being  absolutely 
complete  and  perfect.  The  following  record  is,  however,  the 
result  of  careful  and  persistent  inquiry,  and  no  line  has  been  left 
until  satisfactory  information  has  been  secured,  or  the  futility  of 
further  inquiry  demonstrated.  I  trust  that  the  book  will  meet 
with  the  approbation  of  the  members  of  the  Hodgdon  family, 
that  they  may  take  pleasure  in  its  reading,  as  I  have  in  its 
preparation.

EXPLANATIONS. 


In  arranging  this  work  it  has  been  my  object  to  give  all  the 
authentic  history  and  genealogy  of  the  first  hve  generations  of 
Nicholas  Hodsdon  and  his  descendants  in  the  plainest  manner. 
The  work  is  carried  forwartl  in  the  usual  form  to  the  fifth  genera- 
tion, then  we  have  onl}'  attempted  to  trace  the  families  of  Maj. 
Caleb  and  his  brothers,  Israel,  Peter  and  John,  and  his  sister, 
Abigail  (ITodgdon)  Peaslee. 

We  find  the  name  variously  spelled  and  have  copied  it  in  every 
instance  as  we  found  it,  one  brother  using  the  s  and  the  other 
theg. 

The  Arms  of  Hodsdon  of  Hodsdon,  County  Hertfordshire, 
England,  were  procured  from  Cullerton's  Heraldic  Office,  Lon- 
don. They  are  inserted  as  the  Arms  of  the  family  in  England  ; 
although,  for  want  of  time  and  money,  we  have  been  unable  to 
trace  the  English  ancestry  of  Nicholas  Hodsdon. 

Arms  :  Argent,  a  bend  wavy  gules,  between  two  hoi-se  shoes 
azure. 

Crest  :  A  man's  head  couped  at  the  shoulders  prosier,  vested 
argent,  on  the  head  a  cap  or. 

Motto  :     Aninio  et  fide  (By  courage  and  faith). 

I  have  made  use  of  no  unusual  abbreviations,  using  those  of 
months  and  states,  also,  b.,  born  ;  bapt.,' baptized  ;  m.,  married  ; 
d.,  died;  p.,  page;  vol.,  volume;  dau.,  daughter.  Each  member 
is  numbered  at  birth,  and  when  the  name  is  followed  by  -|-  it  will 
be  found  again  in  its  proper  place  with  the  birth  number  in  a 
bracket  at  the  right  of  the  name.  If  no  -|-  follows,  all  I  could 
learn  is  recorded  at  the  birth.  The  small  sui:)erior  figure  at  the 
end  of  each  name  denotes  the  generation.

GENEALOGY 


OF     THE 


HODSDON    OR    HODGDON    FA^\ILY 


1.  Nicholas  Hodsdon  of  Hingham,  Mass,  1635;  and  in  1636, 
the  town  of  Hingham,  granted  him  a  house  lot  in  the  center  of 
the  town,  and  later,  two  or  more  meadows  were  granted  him  in 
the  same  town;  reference  is  made  to  these  meadows,  in  a  deed 
given  by  Samuel  Ward  of  Charlestown,  Mass.,  to  Edward  Wilder, 
Mar.  30,  1665. 

(Suffolk  deeds,  Vol.  4,  p.  282.) 

Nicholas  was  made  freeman  Mar.  9,  1636-7,  (in  the  record  the 
name  is  given  as  Hudson),  he  remained  in  Hingham  until  alxuit 
1650,  when  in  company  with  John  Winchester,  Thomas  Ham- 
mond, John  Parker,  Vincent  Druce  and  others,  he  purchased 
large  tracts  of  land  at  Cambridge  Hill,  now  Newton,  Mass.,  near 
the  line  which  divides  Brookline  and  Newton. 

"Nicholas  Hodsdin  at  Mr.  Hibbins  farme  in  Boston  in  Suffolk, 
hath  souled  to  Thomas  Hammond  and  Vincent  Bruse  (Druce  ) 
both  of  Hingham,  in  the  same  County,  a  parcell  of  land  containing 
sixty  seaven  acres  more  or  less,  lying  on  Cambridge  Hill  adjoining 
to  John  Parker's  to  the  North,  Northwest  and  Northeast  of  the 
said  John  Parker's  with  thirteen  acres  more  or  less  of  meadow 
belonging  thereunto,  the  which  land  was  by  the  Towne  of  Cam- 
bridge given  to  Robert  Bradish.  Also  sixteen  acres  in  Boston 
bounds  next  to  Cambridge  Hill  to  the  South  of  it,  and  to  the  East

and  North  cast  of  Mr.  Hibbins'  land,  to  have  and  to  hold " 

Dated,  Feb.  4,  1650;  recorded,  Aug.  20,  1651. 
Middlesex  C"iinty  deeds,  Vol.  I;  p.  24. 

"Nicholas  Modsdon  of  Boston  to  John  Parker  of   Cambridge 
a  just  third  part  of  all  the  lands  bought  by  him  of  Robert 


Bradish.      Wife   Elizabeth   gives   her  consent  and  yields  up  her 

right,  Mar.  20,  1651." 

Dated,  Aug.  6,  16 — ;  recorded.  May  24,  1656. 

Middlesex  County  deeds. 

We  find  no  deed  or  land  grant  between  the  above  date  and  Oct. 
15,  1656,  when  he  received  a  grant  of  land  from  the  town  of  Kit- 
tery.  Me.,  but  seems  to  have  been  living  there  prior  to  that  date 
as  see  grant  below. 

"Granted,  lotted  and  layed  out  by  the  Selectmen  for  Kittery 
unto  Nicholas  Hodsdon,  his  heirs  and  assigns  forever,  a  lot  of  land 
above  his  house,  bounded  on  the  South  side  by  Miles  Thomp- 
son's land  as  may  appear  by  several  marked  trees  which  go  upon 
the  line  south  east  and  by  east  unto  the  woods  one  hundred  and 
sixty  poles  unto  a  tree  marked  four  ways,  and  from  said  tree  to 
go  upon  the  line  north  and  south  and  by  east  unto  a  marked  tree 
Standing  by  the  brook  of  Birchen  Poynt  and  to  come  down  the 
said  brook  unto  the  water  or  river,  which  brook  is  the  bounds  of 
said  lot." 

Dated  Oct.  15,  1656. 
Kittery  town  records,  p.  9. 

Dec.  13,  1669,  Nicholas  received  another  grant  of  land  from 
the  town  of  Kittery,  this  lot  being  sixty  poles  in  length,  and  ad- 
joining Birchen  Point  Brook.     This  lot  was  laid  out  Jan.  1672. 

In  1673,  Nicholas  received  still  another  grant  of  land  from  the 
town,  which  was  for  100  acres  of  land.  This  grant  however  was 
not  laid  out  during  his  lifetime,  but  was  sold  by  his  descendants 
at  various  times. 

The  following  deposition  of  Nicholas  and  his  wife  is  of  interest, 
and  shows  that  at  the  time  they  settled  at  Kittery,  they  resided 
at  Quamphegon  :

years  and  upwards.  These  deponents  being  sworne  saith  that 
fifteene  or  sixteene  yeares  agoe  that  Thomas  Spensecr  being  at 
Quamphegon  at  the  house  wee  lived  in  sayd,  that  he  had  given 
the  one  half  part  of  the  mill  &  timber  thereunto  belonging, 
being  one  quarter  part  of  the  mill  unto  Daniell  Goodin  for  his 
dafters  portion.  Nicholas  Hodsden  &  his  wife  replied  &  said, 
neybouer  Spenser  I  wish  you  well  to  consider  what  )ou  doe.  for 
you  had  many  children  &  every  one  would  have  a  littcll  and  you 
cannot  give  every  one  such  a  Portion,  and  he  answered  &  said, 
that  she  was  the  eldest  dafter  &  hee  had  don  yt  &  farthensaith 
not."     Dated,  Apr.  18,  1670. 

Nicholas  purchased  several  lots  of  land  in  the  vicinity  of 
Birchen  Point  Brook.  Peter  Wittum  sold  him  "  forty  acres  of 
upland  and  swamp,  butting  upon  the  land  of  said  Nicholas,  and 
running  back  to  Rocky  Hills." 

John  Wincoll  sold  Nicholas  "one  Tenement  with  about  30 
acres  of  land,  bounded  by  land  of  Miles  Thompson  on  the  South, 
the  River  on  the  West  and  Birchen  Brook  and  Co\e  on  the  North 
and  highway  that  leadeth  toward  Sturgeon  Creeke." 

Dated  June  16,  1674. 

The  farm  which  Nicholas  occupied  the  latter  part  of  his  life,  is 
undoubtedly  the  one  just  montioned  as  having  been  i:)urchased  of 
John  Wincoll  in  1674.  It  is  situated  upon  the  easterly  side  of 
the  Piscataqua  river,  which  divides  Kittery  from  Dover.  It  is 
located  in  the  extreme  southerly  part  of  South  Berwick,  and  is 
bounded  on  the  North  by  Birchen  Point  Brook  ;  on  the  south  by 
the  farm  formerly  owned  by  Miles  Thompson.  This  last  men- 
tioned farm  was  bounded  on  the  south  by  Thomj^son's 
Brook,  which  Brook  divides  the  towns  of  Eliot  and  South  Ber- 
wick. 

The  homestead,  as  will  be  noticed  later,  was  given  by  Nicholas 
to  his  son  Benoni,  from  whom  it  descended  in  regular  gradation 
to  John  and  Henry  Hodsdon;  who  sold  it  to  Theo.  F.  and  Thom- 
as Jewett,  May  17,  1828,  (York  deeds,  Vol.  130.  p.  82.)  at  which 
time  the  estate  passed  out  of  the  Hodsdon  family.  The  Jewetts 
sold  the  entire  farm  to  William  Flynn  by  deed  of  Jan.  28,  1850, 


12  GENEALOGY    OF    THE 

(York  deeds,  \'ol.  210,  p.   449.)  and  it  is  still  occupied  by  the 
widow  and  children  of  Mr.  Flynn. 

"  Agreement  Ijetween  Nicholas  Hodsdon  of  Kittery,  husband- 
man, and  Benoni  Hodsdon,  son  of  said  Nicholas,  agrees  that 
Bcnoni  shall  during  the  Natural  life  of  Nicholas,  have,  hold  and  use 
in  Partnership  with  his  father,  all  that  farm  that  his  father  has  for 
several  years  lived  upon,  with  all  lands,  medows,  Orchards,  Marshes, 
garden  and  all  the  privileges  thereunto  belonging  or  in  any  wise 
appertaining  without  any  division  of  lands  or  houses,  but  in  part- 
nership and  the  same  shall  hold  during  the  Natural  life  of  said 
Nicholas. 

It  is  agreed  that  all  of  the  stock  of  any  nature  heretofore  be- 
longing to  the  said  Nicholas  or  Benoni  are  to  be  one  half  the  said 
Nicholas  and  the  other  half  the  said  Benoni. 

The  said  Benc^ni  agrees  to  take  the  best  of  care  of  the  farm  and 
pay  all  charges  and  any  profit  arising  from  the  product  of  the 
farm  to  be  equally  divided  every  year. 

It  is  agreed  after  the  death  of   Nicholas   the  goods  and  imple- 
ments of  the  farm  shall  belong  to  Benoni." 
Dated,  Dec.  9,  1678. 
York  deeds.  Vol.  3,  p.  41. 

"Nicholas  Hodgsden  of  Kittery  for  iJ"130  sells  his  son  Benoni,

The  seven  acres  given  to  John  Morrell  and  his  wife  Sarah, 
were  deeded  them  by  Nicholas  and  his  wife  Elizabeth,  Dec.  3.  1674. 
The  lot  was  situated  in  the  northeast  corner  of  the  homestead, 
and  was  bounded  on  the  north  by  JiirclTcn  Point  I'look.  Aiicv

"25.  3.  1648,  I  did  testifie  unto  a  Lee  of  the  Attorney  made

The  place  and  date  of  death  of  Nicholas  and  Elizabeth  is  un-

ISRAEL  Hodsdon"  (5),  bapt.  at  Hingham,  Mass.,  July  19, 
1646,  moved  with  his  father  to  Boston,  and  later  to  Kittery,  Me.; 
m.  about  1670,  Ann,  dau.  of  Miles  and  Ann  (Tetherly)  Thompson 
of  Kittery.  The  first  record  concerning  Israel  Hodsdon  in  Kit- 
tery is  the  following  land  grant: 

"Laid  out  unto  Israel  Hodgdon,  his  grant  of  ten  or  twelve 
acres,  at  ye  east  end  of  his  house  lot,  Eightie  rods  in  length  to  a 
great  white  oak,  bounded  on  ye  North  with  Etherington's  land 
and  on  ye  East  with  land  of  William  Gowen,  and  on  ye  South 
with  land  of  Tristram  Harrison." 
Dated,  Mar.  2,  1671. 
Kittery  town  records. 

Also  "  James   Emery  and   Richard  Nason  testified  that   five 
years  ago  they  laid  out  to  Jeremiah  Hodgdon,  the  land  that  Israel's 
house  now  stands  on,  being  about  twenty  acres,  bounded  on  the 
North  by  Ethrington's  land  and  ye  Commons  on  ye  East." 
Dated,  1671. 
Kittery  town  records. 

And  "Laid  out  to  Daniel  Emery  twenty-two  acres  and  half  of 
land,  it  being  part  of  a  grant  of  40  acres  that  was  given  to  Israel 
Hodgdon  by  the  town  of  Kittery  Apr.  13,  1671  " 
Dated,  1722. 
Kittery  town  records. 

The  last  mention  we  find  of  Israel  Hodsdon  is  the  following : 
"Miles  Thompson  and  wife,  James  Heard  and  wife,  Nicholas 
Hodsdin  and  wife,  Thomas  Spencer  and  wife,  William  Furbush 
and  wife,  Israel  Hodsden  and  wife  and  Richard  Nason  and  wife 
were  presented  for  not  attending  meeting." 
Jul.  6,  1675.

It  would  look  as  though  Israel  Hodsdon  and  his  father  as  well 
as  some  of  their  neighbors  favored  the  Quakers,  who  were  not 
popular  at  that  time,  for  we  find  Nov.  12,  1659,  in  company  with 
John  Hoard  of  Kittery,  Nicholas  was  ordered  to  appear  at  the 
second  session  of  the  General  Court,  to  be  held  at  Boston,  and 
answer  to  the  charge  of  entertaining  Quakers.     To  this  Nicholas

widow  m.  (2)   about  1675-6,  Robert  Evans  of  Dover,  N.  II.     He 

had  had  former  wife,  Elizabeth,  dau.  of  Edward  and  Ann  ( ) 

Colcord  of  Hampton,  N.  H.  We  do  not  find  the  death  of  Eliza-

of  Robert  and  Ann  Evans  was  b.  in  1676.  Robert  Evans  d.  in 
Dover,  Feb.  27,  1697,  and  his  widow  Ann  was  bapt.  in  the  first 
church  in  Dover,  Oct.  30,  1720,  and  admitted  a  member  of  the 
church  the  following  month.  She  d.  about  1727,  and  administra- 
tion on  her  estate  was  granted  to  her  eldest  son,  Israel  Hodsdon, 
May  30,  1727  ;  in  one  of  the  papers  in  the  case  he  mentions  her 
as  his  mother.  The  children  of  Robert  and  Ann  (Thompson-

The  estate  of  Israel  Hodsdon  was  not  settled  until  after  his 
only  son,  Israel  Jr.,  came  of  age,  as  shown  b)-  the  following : 

"  Administration  is  granted  to  Israel  Hodsden  of  the  estate  of

HODSDON    OR   HODGDON    FAMILY.  41 

ing  Persons  and  Places  in  old  Dover,  N.H."  "John  Hanson  was 
a  son  of  Thomas  Hanson,  and  grandson  of  Thomas,  sen.,  who 
'tooke  the  oeth  of  fidellitie'at  Dover  June  4,  1661.  John  lived  at 
Nock's  Marsh  on  the  place  where  Samuel  Hanson  now  lives. 
Being  a  Friend,  he  refused  to  leave  his  exposed  position,  and  his 
house  was  marked  for  an  attack.  Thirteen  Indians  and  French 
Mohawks,  lay  for  several  days  near  it  in  ambush,  waiting  until 
Hanson  and  his  men  were  away,  for  the  Indians  were  a  cowardly 
set  of  villains;  and  when  he  had  gone  to  the  week<lay  meeting 
and  two  sons  were  at  work  at  some  distance,  the  Indians  entered 
the  house;  Mrs.  Hanson,  a  servant,  and  four  children  were  in  the 
house,  of  which,  one  child  the  Indians  immediately  killed  to  ter- 
rify the  others;  two  other  children  were  at  play  in  the  orchard, 
and  would  have  escaped  but  that  just  as  the  Indians  had  finished 
rifling  the  house,  the  two  came  in  sight  and  made  such  a  noise 
that  the  Indians  killed  the  youngest  boy  to  stop  an  alarm,  with 
Mrs.  Hanson,  her  babe  of  two  weeks,  a  boy  of  six  years  and  two 
daughters,  one  fourteen  years  old,  the  other  sixteen,  and  the  ser- 
vant girl.  All  reached  Canada,  but  the  party  was  repeatedly  sub- 
divided during  the  journey. 

The  first  person  who  discoverd  the  tragedy  was  Hanson's  old- 
est daughter  (afterward  Mrs.  Hodgdon)  on  her  return  from  meet- 
ing. Seeing  the  children  dead  she  gave  a  shriek  which  was  dis- 
tinctly heard  by  her  mother  in  the  hands  of  the  enemy  and  by 
her  brothers  at  work.  Persuit  was  instantly  made  but  the  Indians 
avoided  all  paths  and  escaped  undiscovered.  After  this  disaster 
Hanson  removed  the  remainder  of  his  family  to  the  house  of  his 
brother  'who,  says  Belknap'  though  of  the  same  religious  persua- 
sion yet  had  a  number  of  lusty  sons  and  always  kept  his  fire-arms 
in  good  order  for  the  purpose  of  shooting  game." 

Mr.  Hanson  soon  after  the  attack  went  to  Canada  to  ransom 
his  family;  the  following  item  from  the  News-Letter  of  1725  is 
of  interest  in  that  connection  : 

"  Newport.  Aug.  27,  (1725)  On  Tuesday  last  (Aug.  24)  arrived 
here  Mr.  John  Hanson,  Dover,  Piscataqua,  and  about  a  Month's 
time  from  Canade,  but  last  from  New  York,  with  his  wife  &  three 


42  GENEALOGY    OF    THE 

children  and  a  Servant  Woman,  as  also  one  Ebenezer  Downs, 
having  a  wife  &  five  children  at  Piscataqua ;  also  one  Miles 
Thompson,  a  Boy,  who  were  all  taken  Captives  about  Twelve 
Months  since,  by  the  Enemy  Indians,  and  carried  to  Canada,  ex- 
cept Mr.  Hanson  ;  who  at  the  same  time  lost  Two  of  his  sons  by 
the  Indians  ;  &  now  it  hath  cost  him  about  ^700  for  their  Ran- 
som, including  his  other  necessary  charges.  He  likewise  informs. 
That  another  of  his  children,  a  Young  Woman  of  about  Seventeen 
Years  of  Age  was  carried  Captive  at  the  same  time  with  the  rest 
of  his  Family,  with  whom  he  conversed  for  several  Hours,  but 
could  not  obtain  her  Ransom  ;  for  the  Indians  would  not  consent 
to  part  with  her  on  any  terms,  so  he  was  obliged  to  leave  her. 

Mr.  Hanson  got  home  1  Sept.  1725,  but  he  could  not  content 
himself  while  his  daughter  Sarah  was  in  Canada ;  and  about  the 
19th  of  April,  1727,  started  in  company  with  a  kinsman  who  with 
his  wife  was  bound  on  a  similarly  sad  errand  to  redeem  children  ; 
but  he  was  taken  sick  on  the  journey  and  died  about  half  way  be- 
tween Albany  and  Canada.  The  daughter  married  a  Frenchman 
and  never  returned." 

Mr.  Hodgdon  was  taxed  in  Dover  in  1741,  at  which  time  he  was 
called  an  Ensign.  In  the  several  deeds  given  by  him,  he  is  called  a 
housewright,  as  well  as  a  yeoman.  He  probably  followed  both 
vocations.

PETER  Hodgdon'' (360),  b.  in  Dover,  N.  H.,  Oct.  18,  1742; 


HODSDON    OR    HODGDON    FAMILY.  107 

m.  (1)  Dec.  11,  1766,  Mary,  dau.  of  Azariah  and  Bridget  (Hushbic) 
Boodey,  b.  in  Madbury,  N.  H.,  June  23,  1749  ;  .she  was  twin  sister 
of  Capt.  John  Boodey.  They  lived  in  Nottingham,  N.  IL,  where 
Mary  d.,  Oct.  30,  1770;  he  m.  (2)  July  9,  1772,  Patience  Cha.se, 
b.  in  Kensington,  N.  H.,  June  26,  1750.  We  quote  the  following 
from  the  pen  of  his  nephew,  Robert  Boodey  Caverly,  the  lawyer, 
poet,  and  author  of  the  Caverly  and  Boodey  Genealogies  : — 

"  Uncle  Peter  was  a  nervous,  marvellous  old  gentleman.  When 
a  lad  I  saw  him  once,  but  can  just  remember  his  outlines.  Mis 
dear  Molly  had  gone  beyond  the  river; — we  had  never  seen  her. 
He  always  travelled  horse  back  on  his  old  nag,  fleet  as  the  wind. 
Time  then  had  in  its  toil  and  trial  appeared  to  hang  heavily 
upon  him.  His  aged  face  had  been  seamed  all  over  with  its 
cares,  his  voice  appeared  cracked  and  broken,  and  his  wintry 
locks  lay  loosely  upon  his  shoulders.  We  can  just  remember 
how  his  veiny  hand  trembled  as  he  sat  at  our  mother's  table  feed- 
ing himself.  We  remember  he  spoke  of  his  infirmities  as  painful 
to  him,  saying  he  used  at  home  a  wooden  plate,  with  which  to 
steady  his  fork  But,  oh  !  it  would  have  been  music  to  you  to 
see  the  old  hero  come  and  go." 

"Tradition  in  and  about  Madbury,  among  other  things,  says 
old  Peter's  horse,  old  Bright  (by  that  name  he  called  him),  was  a 
wonder  among  men  and  colts.  The  common  highway  was  no 
sort  of  guide  to  old  Bright ;  his  end  and  aim  was  always  onward 
through  the  shortest  way  in  the  shortest  time.  Once  given  the 
point  of  compass,  Bright  needed  no  other  direction  ;  his  course 
was  always  in  a  direct  line,  straight  forward  through  quagmires, 
over  hedges,  fences,  brooks,  walls  and  ditches.  As  the  venerable 
charger  leaped  up  and  down,  old  Peter  would  occasionally  be  seen 
in  the  distance,  leaning  towards  his  journey's  end,  both  hands 
fastened  to  the  mane,  his  long  gray  locks  tossed  by  the  temjiest, 
and  the  skirts  of  his  garments  at  an  angle  of  forty-five  degrees, 
carried  back  and  fluttered  by  the  breeze." 

After  his  first  marriage  Peter  lived  in  Nottingham,  then  in 
Kensington,  and  in  1778  in  Wolfboro,  N.  II..  ihi-n  in  Dover  until 
1790,  when  he  settled  in  Madbury,  where  he  d.  Apr.   19,   1827.

JOHN  Hodgdon^  (361),  b.  in  Dover,  N.H.,  Apr  22,  1745,  m. 
Jan.  22,  1772,  Susannah,  dau.  of  Joseph  and  Elizabeth  (Tibbetts) 
Hussey,  b.  in  Dover,  Jan.  28,  1750.  From  his  childhood  he  was 
fond  of  reading,  and  in  one  way  and  another  he  managed  to  ac- 
quire an  excellent  practical  education,  though  he  attended  school 
but  seven  days.  He  drew  up  all  his  contracts,  deeds,  bonds,  and 
obligations  of  every  description;  was  a  good  land  surveyor,  made 
neat  plans  of  his  work,  and  computed  the  contents  by  triangulation. 
One  of  the  few  amusements  of  his  busy  life  was  the  solution  of 
problems  in  "Thomas'  Farmer's  Almanac"  and  in  the  newspapers 
of  that  early  day.  On  the  1 8th  of  November,  1 7  7 1 ,  he  purchased  of 
Joshua  Corliss,  for  the  sum  of  ;^217,  16s.,  the  nucleus  of  the  farm 
at  Weare,  on  which  he  lived  and  died.  A  log  house  then  stood 
on  the  premises,  but  he  at  once  erected  a  small  frame  house 
(about  20  X  12  feet,  still  standing),  which  soon  gave  place  to  the 
substantial  house  now  (1888)  occupied  by  his  grandson,  Moses  A. 
Hodgdon. 

John  Hodgdon  had  the  usual  experience,  with  rather  more  than 
the  ordinary  success,  that  attends  pioneer  life.  Forests  gradually 
disappeared,  barns  were  built,  orchards  planted;  and  by  industry 
and  economy,  field  was  added  to  field,  pasture  to  pasture,  until 
the  "Hodgdon  farm"  became  one  of  the  most  noted  in  the 
country.  He  also  owned  land  in  Hillsborough,  Antrim,  Unity, 
New  Boston,  Fishersfield  and  many  other  towns.  In  1799  he 
purchased  of  the  "Westford  &  Groton  Academy  Grant"  a  large 
tract  of  land  in  the  eastern  part  of  Maine,  on  which  the  town  of 
Hodgdon  now  stands.  In  company  with  others,  he  purchased 
unsold  lands  in  an  old  grant  called  the  "Packer  Right,"  which  in- 
volved him  in  much  litigation.  In  conducting  his  numerous  law- 
suits, he  manifested  so  much  skill  and  ability,  that  the  late  Judge 
Jeremiah  Smith  once  said:  "I  would  rather  have  John  Hodgdon 
associated  with  me  in  a  land-suit  than  any  lawyer  of  the  New 


HODSDON    OK    llUDGDUN    lAMII.V.  I3J 

Hampshire  bar."  Gov.  Samuel  Bell,  with  whom  John  Hocl<;clon 
was  associated  in  real  estate  transactions,  notably  one  purcha.se  of 
31,600  acres  in  Grafton  County,  once  made  a  similar  statement. 
Judge  Smith  and  Governor  Bell  were  his  council  until  they  were 
severally  raised  to  the  Bench.  To  a  grandson  of  John  I  lodgdon, 
Judge  Levi  Woodbury  once  said:  "My  first  case  was  a  land-suit, 
in  which  John  Hodgdon  was  plaintiff,  and  much  curiosity  was 
manifested  at  the  bar  to  see  who  would  be  the  sucessor  of  Smith 
&  Bell.  The  case  was  well  prepared,  and  the  jury  gave  me  a 
verdict.  This  case  was  a  great  advantage  to  me,  and  from  that 
time  I  had  an  established  reputation,  that  gave  me  a  very  large 
docket."  Many  anecdotes  are  related  in  which  John  Hodgdon's 
ready  sarcasm  was  very  effective.  On  one  occasion  when  he 
drove  up  to  the  court  house  at  Amherst,  where  a  crowd  had  as- 
sembled, a  youthful  aspirant  to  legal  honors  called  out  in  a  ixit- 
ronizing  tone,  "Well,  Mr.  Hodgdon,  so  you've  come  again!" 
''Ye.s,"  he  replied,  "but  if  I  had  no  more  business  here  than  thee 
has,  I  shouldn't  come."  "We  must  look  out  for  Mr.  Hodgdon's 
sharp  tongue,"  was  a  common  phrase  among  the  lawyers.  Aside 
from  his  larger  real  estate  transactions,  Mr.  Hodgdon  bought  and 
stocked  many  farms  for  others  to  cultivate,  and  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  a  factory  at  Hillsborough  Bridge,  which  at  one  period 
he  carried  on  alone.  He  interested  himself  in  imj)roving  stock  of 
all  kinds.  In  1812,  he  purchased,  and  brought  from  E.xeter,  in 
his  chaise,  a  Merino  buck;  about  the  same  time,  he  bought,  on  the 
Connecticut  river,  a  Merino  ewe,  for  which  he  paid  $125,  and  ten 
half  breed  lambs  for  $300.  John  Hodgdon  was  a  man  of  large

muscular,  usually  weighing  about  212  pounds  In  politics  he  was 
an  openly  avowed  Federalist,  looking  more  at  national  than  local 
interests.  He  had  an  abiding  faith  in  the  simplicity  of  Christian- 
ity as  taught  by  the  society  of  Friends,  and  was  a  constant  stu- 
dent of  its  distinctively  doctrinal  works.  1  le  was  a  man  of  clear, 
vigorous  intellect,  sternly  upright,  always  kne^v  his  own  mind,  and 
had  little  patience  with  indecision  and  inefficiency.  He  had  an 
inexhaustible  fund  of  anecdote,  was  quick  in  rcixirtee  ami  rhyme,

MOSES  Hodgdon^  (1290),  b.  in  Weare,  N.H.,  Aug.  22,  1773; 
he  received  a  common  school  education,  was  brought  up  a  farmer, 
and  inherited  his  father's  farm.  He  was  a  man  of  splendid  phy- 
sique, six  feet  four  inches  in  height,  and  would  weigh  two 
hundred  and  fifty   pounds. 

He  was  very  energetic  and  took  the  lead  in  all  his  farming  opera- 
tions. In  1882  Hon.  John  Hodgdon,  his  son,  said  of  him,  "He 
was  the  best  farmer  I  ever  saw;  with  him  it  was  always  'Come 
boys'  and  everyone  readily  responded  to  his  call;  his  energy  was 
contagious."  Mr.  Hodgdon  like  his  father  was  a  member  of  the 
Society  of  Friends;  tolerant  and  liberal  minded,  generous  and 
sympathetic  in  deed,  but  chary  in  words.  He  was  a  man  of  large 
property,  partly  inherited  from  his  father,  and  much  increased  by 
himself.  He  was  the  largest  stockholder  in  Concord  bank  and 
had  much  to  do  with  its  affairs.  He  m.  (1)  Nov.  8,  1795,  Dorcas

1800;  he  inherited  the  sterling  integrity  of  his  father,  with  the 
executive  ability  and  many  personal  traits  of  his  grandfather.  I  le 
received  his  preparatory  education  at  the  district  school  in  WV-are, 
Gilmanton  Academy  and  Phillips'  Academy  in  Exeter,  N.  II., 
entered  Bowdoin  College  in  1823  and  graduated  with  distinguished 
honors  in  1827.  He  studied  law  in  the  office  of  Allen  Oilman  of 
Bangor,  Me.,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1830.  On  the  death 
of  his  grandfather,  in  1821,  Mr.  Hodgdon  came  into  possession  of 
a  large  tract  of  land  in  Maine,  and  the  conditions  of  ownership 
demanded  immediate  attention ;  he  therefore  left  his  studies  at 
Exeter,  and,  following  the  water  courses  and  the  paths  of  trai> 
pers  and  Indians,  soon  reached  his  grant  in  northeastern  Maine. 
He  at  once  organized  a  surveying  party  from  the  neighboring 
province  of  New  Brunswick,  laid  out  his  land  into  lots,  secured 
settlers  to  establish  his  claim,  and  thus  founded  the  town  which 
afterwards  bore  his  name.  In  1832,  he  was  a  delegate  from  Maine 
to  the  Democratic  National  Convention,  held  in  Baltimore,  which 
nominated  Andrew  Jackson  for  the  presidency.  In  1833.  he  was 
a  member  of  the  Governor's  council ;  and,  through  the  influence 
of  the  Maine  delegation  in  Washington,  he  succeeded  in  establish- 
ing a  military  post  at  Houlton,  Me.,  and  took  an  active  and 
efficient  part  in  the  disputed  boundary  Cjuestion  which  led  to  the 
Aroostook  war,  a  controversy  finally  settled  in  1842,  by  the 
famous  Ashburton  treaty.  Mr.  Hodgdon  held  the  office  of  State 
land  agent  four  years,  and  that  of  bank  examiner  and  commis- 
sioner six  years.  He  was  appointed  by  President  Polk  ronimis- 
sioner  on  the  part  of  the  State  of  Maine  to  confer  with  a  like 
commission  from  Massachusetts  to  settle  and  distribute  the  ter- 
ritorial funds.  In  1846,  he  was  elected  to  the  State  senate,  and 
the  following  year  was  president  of  that  body.  He  was  at  one 
time  general  of  a  division  of  the  State  militia,  hence  the  title  of 
general,  by  which  he  was  better  known  the  latter  i)art  of  his  life. 
In  1853,  he  removed  from  Maine  to  Dubuque,  Iowa,  where  he 
was  regarded  from  the  first  as  a  leading  ant!  influential  man.  In 
1858,  he  was  elected  mayor,  and  in  subsequent  years  tilled  many 
positions  of  trust.     He  was  senior  warden  of  the  Episcoixil  church

as  long  as  he  would  consent  to  an  election,  and  was  many  times 
delegate  to  the  national  church  convention.  Gen.  Hodgdon  was 
a  thorough  partisan,  but  never  narrow  or  petty,  and  bestowed  his 
quiet  sarcasm  on  political  folly  wherever  it  appeared.  He  was  a 
typical  gentleman  of  the  old  school,  conservative  in  his  tastes, 
stately  in  his  bearing,  somewhat  formal  in  his  conversation,  but  a 
delightful  talker,  original  and  always  entertaining.  In  a  memorial 
notice  of  Gen.  Hodgdon,  he  is  spoken  of  as  "  the  noblest  Roman 
of  them  all,"  and  it  is  but  just  to  say  that  his  manners,  his  learn- 
ing, his  character,  marked  the  gentleman,  the  scholar  and  the 
Christian.  Gen.  Hodgdon  married,  in  1838,  Margaret  Amelia 
Leggett  of  New  York ;  they  had  no  children,  but  adopted  a  little 
girl  who  became  the  pride  and  comfort  of  their  lives.  He  died  at 
Dubuque,  Aug.  21,  1883.

mills.  In  1848,  he  opened  the  first  store  in  North  Weare,  and

formation,  represented  the  town  in  the  legislature  in  1861-2  and

promises,  but  prompt  to  fulfill  them,  he  was  just  as  ready  to  com-
