PHILBRICK'S PHARMACY, il CONGRESS ST ORTSMOUTH, N. H HISTORY OF EXETER AND HAMPTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE. INTRODUCTION. The towns of Exeter and Hampton, which except Dover and Portsmouth are the oldest in this State, are places of the greatest historical interest, and they present to the historian, and all interested in the development of New Hampshire, a wide field of research, and a wealth of source material. To this section, then an almost unbroken wilderness, which had been obtained by purchase from the Indians, there came more than two and a half centuries ago, a little band of refu- gees under their leader and pastor, the noted clergyman Wheel- wright, that they might be free from religious intolerance and establish homes in a new and undeveloped country. They began the little settlement round the Squamscott river and made the beginning of the town of Exeter. At about this time too, another band of pioneers, under the leadership of the aged Rev. Stephen Bachiler, began the settlement of Exeter's sister town, Hampton. 6 INTRODUCTION The history of the years of toil and endeavor with their dangers and privations, and their faihires and achievements, is one which if adequately treated would require a vast amount of space. It has been done by several historiaans in a credit- able way, and the ground has been ably covered. It is not, therefore, the purpose of this register to give to the people of Exeter and Hampton an entirely new and minutely compre- hensive account of these towns and their many years of history, but to condense the salient and most important events and facts into compact and easily accessible space, that the history and register of the families of the towns completed to the present year may serve the purpose of a ready-reference "Register" of Exeter and Hampton. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness for data to the histories published a number of years ago by the late Governor Bell of Exeter, and the late Deacon Dow of Hampton, to the "History of New England," the town records, church records, directories, and all other sources of information from which these facts have been derived, and we wish also to thank all those who so kindly aided in procuring them. We take this opportunity, also, to thank the business and professional men of these towns for their assistance, and all the families who showed their interest in the work, and hope that they will find the Register something which is of interest and value. INDIAN ACCOUNT. The native tribes of New Hampshire were probably all of the Abnaki nation, but seem to have been independent of the tribes who lived in what is now the State of Maine, and to have INTRODUCTION 7 had a separate government. In the eastern part of the State were the Pequaquaukes, or Pequakets, who inhabited a part -of Maine; the Ossipees, the Minnecometts, the Piscataquas and the Squamscotts. The population of these tribes is not defi- nitely known, indeed there is no certainty that any estimate of their numbers was ever made by any reliable authority. The population however was small, and the tribes were scattered; here and there, in some place which possessed natural attrac- tions, or abounded in game or fish, might be found a little village, perhaps, of a few hundred inhabitants, but there was no settlement of a large size. The falls of the Squamscott, round which the town of Exeter later grew up, and the waters of the river were a favor- ite haunt of the Indians, who knew the Squamscott as an excel- lent fishing place. At the time of Exeter's settlement by Wheel- wright and his party the Squamscott Indians were in posses- sion of this and all the surrounding region, under the leader- ship of their Sagamore Wehanownowit, who deeded the section which embraced Exeter to Wheelwright. These Indians were few in number, and were peaceably disposed to the white settlers, and less savage in character than most of the Indians of other tribes. They emigrated from New Hampshire about 1672, and settled on the Hudson river near Troy, New York. Prior to 1675, the settlers here had, for the most part, lived on peaceful terms with the Indians, but during that year King Philip's War broke out, and Exeter and Hampton, being fron- tier towns, suffered greatly while hostilities were going on. In September, 1675, a band of Indians descended upon the 8 INTRODUCTION settlement of Oyster River, adjoining Exeter on the north, burned two houses, and killed four persons. They took two captives, one of whom was "a young man from about Exeter," who soon after escaped. Four of this party of Indians came to Exeter and took prisoner Charles Rundlet, who succeeded in making his escape. Three of the same quartet attacked John Robinson and his son from ambush, on the road leading to Hampton, and shot the elder Robinson dead. The son fled, and reached Hampton safely several hours later. John Folsom, too, was fired upon by the same Indians but escaped uninjured. In October following this raid, the Indians made a descent Upon Exeter, and slew one or two men in this vicinity. The war ended the following year, and hostilities ceased until nearly fifteen years later, when the Indians again went upon the war- path, and as usual the brunt of the attacks fell upon the frontier settlements in New Hampshire and Maine. The terrible mas- sacre at Cochecho (Dover) took place in 1689, and in 1690 these towns were again the scene of Indian depredation. From that time until 17 10, the settlers of Exeter had to confine them- selves to the three garrisons in town, cultivating their fields and performing their daily tasks . in constant fear of lurking savages. During the forty years of this terrible warfare with the Indians, with their untold suffering and horrors, between thirty and forty of the settlers in Exeter were killed or taken cap'dve, among the slain being Ephraim Folsom, Sr., Goodman Robinson, and the famous Colonel Winthrop Hilton. The last Indian raid upon Exeter was during "Lovewell's War," on the twenty-ninth of August, 1723, when eighteen Indians attacked the house of Aaron Rollins, who, with his wife, INTRODUCTION 9 a son and two daughters, had neglected, as was the custom at night, to take refuge in the garrison house. They resisted determinedly, but Rollins and one of his daughters were slain, and his wife, the son and the surviving daughter were carried as captives to Canada. Like Exeter, during the Indian wars, Hampton too suffered some attacks of the Indians, and although the customary pre- cautions were taken for protection, a number of the inhabitants were slain by the savages. Among these may be mentioned Capt. Samuel Sherbourne and James Dolloff, who were killed near Casco Bay, Me., August 4, 1691. Jonathan Green, Nicho- las Bond, Thomas Lancaster, the Widow Hussey, and a boy named Huckley, were killed in Hampton in August, 1703 ; and Benjamin Fifield was killed near his house in August, 1706. The expedition under Capt. Swett, which met with so disas- trous a repulse at an Indian settlement near Ticonic Falls on the Kennebec, was organized in Hampton and started from the town. Captain Swett was among those who lost their lives. Amid all this bloodshed and suffering, and the constant dread on the part of the settlers of unexpected attacks by the Indians, it is not strange that the settlements did not grow rapidly, that Hampton for many years was only a little com- munity and that Exeter at the close of the first century of its existence had but twenty qualified voters within its limits. HISTORY OF EXETER. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. Exeter, the shire town of the County of Rockingham, New Hampshire, is bounded on the southeast by Hampton and Hampton Falls, on the south by Kensington and East Kingston, on the west by Brentwood, on the north by Newfields and on the east by the town of Stratham. It is located on the Western Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and has electric car service to Porsmouth, Amesbury, Haverhill, Hampton and the connections at those points. The soil of the township is on the average productive, and many of the inhabitants are engaged in the pursuits of agri- culture. The town is situated on the banks of the Squamscott river, in a desirable and pleasant location. The river is navi- gable for small vessels only, but the falls which separate the fresh from the tide water furnish valuable water power for the manufacturing industries which have made Exeter an indus- trial as well as an agricultural community, and to which prin- cipally she owes her prosperity and growth. The village of Exeter, almost a city, with its splendid Phillips Exeter Academy, the Robinson Female Seminary and excellent lower schools, its handsome public buildings and beau- tiful residences, and with its broad, well-kept streets and ave- HISTORICAL II nues lined with beautiful trees, is one which appeals to every lover of civic beauty, for it is one of the most delightful in the State. The population of Exeter in 1900 was 4,922.

On the third day of April, 1638, the Rev. John Wheel- wright purchased of the Indians a tract of land thirty miles in extent, reaching from the northern boundary of the Massa- chusetts Bay on the south, to the Piscataqua patents on the east, and to Oyster river on the north, and on the 4th of July, the same year, the first settlers arrived within the boundaries of the town of Exeter, named doubtless for Exeter in England. Tradition has it that even prior to the coming of Wheelwright and his followers there were several settlers in the vicinity of the falls of the Squamscott ; Edward Hilton, who had a holding in what is now South Newmarket, and Thomas Wiggin in what is now Stratham ; Ralph Hall, Thomas Leavitt and Thomas Wilson, all of whom had located on the eastern side of the Squamscott river. The history of the Rev. John Wheelwright is too well known to need extended notice. A native of a little hamlet in Lincolnshire, England, he was a university man, a brother- in-law of the celebrated Anne Hutchinson, a contemporary at the university with Oliver Cromwell; and a friend of Sir Henry Vane. He landed in Boston, May 26, 1636, soon became pastor of a church in the colony, and later was disfranchised and ban- ished from Massachusetts for his religious views, or rather, perhaps, for utterances which the church authorities were pleased to construe as heretical. The sentence against him was pronounced in the early part of November, 1637, and he was allowed but two weeks in which to depart. To his ban- ishment from Massachusetts is attributable the settlement of HISTORICAL 15 Exeter, for Wheelwright came at once to New Hampshire, and as soon as possible made preparations for the settlement at the falls of Squamscott river, in a region then an almost unbroken wilderness. Most of the earliest settlers were friends and acquaintances of Wheelwright, parishioners and adherents from Mount Wol- laston, where he had been pastor of the church, and connec- tions and friends who had arrived not long before from Eng- land. The task which confronted the little band of pioneers was indeed a formidable one. The region in which they were about to establish homes was remote from any settlement, and could be reached only after a hazardous and painful journey, indeed, in those days a long one, beset with privation and danger. The country was practically a forest-covered region, trees must be felled, and clearings made, rude dwellings must be constructed, all of which demanded toil and patience. They were, however, a hardy, fearless band, confident in their leader, eager to establish themselves in a country where they would truly be free, firm in their religious convictions, and strong of character and purpose. Under the jurisdiction of no particular government they formed themselves into a body politic, chose their own officials and made their own laws, that "they might live together quietly and peaceably in all godliness and honesty." For several years this form of government existed and the little democracy con- tinued, until in 1643, Exeter was annexed to the County of Essex, in Massachusetts. i6 EXETER The Rev. Mr. Wheelwright, being still under the sentence of banishment, then removed with a few of his adherents to Maine, where he soon became one of the most prominent among the early colonists. It is said that he was the ancestor of all the Wheelwrights in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hamp- shire. He died at Salisbury in November, 1679, at the age of eighty-five years. In all probability the number of families in Exeter the first year of the settlement did not greatly exceed twenty. This number however increased year by year, and it was not long before the town had become an important settlement. Most of the early comers were of English birth or descent. A brief sketch of the heads of families is as follows : George Barlow, of whom prior to his residence in Exeter little is known, came probably in the early spring of 1640, and the following year and in succeeding years received grants of land from the town. It is thought that he preached at times during his residence here. He remained only a few years in the settlement. George Bates, a thatcher, came from Boston and stayed but a short time here; Jeremiah Blackwell stayed but a short time also. Richard Bulgar, b. 1608, came to America in the fleet with Winthrop ; resided in Boston and Rhode Island ; in Exeter only a few years. Edward Colcord, b. 1616 or 1617: came to America, 163 1 ; assisted Wheelwright in obtaining his land grants from the Indian sagamores, resided in Exeter for brief periods several times. HISTORICAL 17 John Cram, who had come to Boston as early as 1635, was one of the earhest settlers here, served as townsman in 1648 and 1649, and later removed to Hampton, where he died. He is described as having been a good old man, "just in his gen- eration." Thos. Crawley came to Exeter, perhaps in the spring of 1640; remained several years; removed probably to Maine. Godfrey Dearborn of Devonshire, Eng., came to Exeter with his wife and two or three children. He was one of the earliest settlers, and was selectman in 1648. It has been thought that he lived in what is now Stratham. He removed to Hamp- ton about 1650; died Feb. 4, 1686. Henry Elkins, a tailor, was of Boston in 1634, agreed with Wheelwright in his religious views; came to Exeter in 1638. He resided here until 1645, when he went to Hampton. He died there Nov. 19, 1668. Wm. Cole of Boston in 1637, was a signer of the Com- bination ; probably accompanied Wheelwright to Wells ; removed later to Hampton, where, in 1662, he died. John Compton of Roxbury, in 1634, received a large share of land allotments here, removed after a brief stay to Boston. Lawrence Copeland of Braintree, was in Exeter, April 3, 1638; returned to Braintree probably after a short stay; lived to the age of a hundred ye^s. Darby Field, described by Winthrop as an Irishman, came to Exeter in the earliest days of the settlement. He was the first European who visited the White Mountains (1642). He later resided at Oyster river (Durham) ; died in 1649. i8 EXETER Gabriel Fish, fisherman, came from Boston to Exeter in 1638. A few years later he returned to Boston. Isaac Gross, a friend of Wheelwright, followed him from Boston to Exeter. He received a liberal grant of land here, and was chosen the first ruler of the plantation of Exeter. He returned to Boston after a residence here of a few years. Ralph Hall, b. 1618, was here, perhaps, when Wheelwright came. He resided here at two or three different periods, and about Oct. 10, 1664, received a grant of fifty acres of land. He was later elected to several offices, and held positions of trust. He died in March, 1701. Christopher Helme, of Lincolnshire, was also a very early settler. Upon the departure of Wheelwright in 1643, he re- turned to Boston, from which place in a short time he removed to Warwick, R. I., where he died before December, 1650. Edward Hilton, who had settled in this vicinity before Wheelwright's company came, lived in what is now South Newmarket, as early as December, 1639. He had been a fish- monger in London before emigrating from England to America, in 1623. He settled at Dover Point first, received a large grant of land later, and came here, as we have seen, before 1640. He became a leading man among the settlers, and prominent in town affairs. He died in 1671. William Hilton, a brother of Edward, came over to Ply- mouth in the ship Fortune, Nov. 11, 1621. He remained at that place until 1623, when he was joined by his wife and two children, who came over from England in the ship Anne. Soon afterward the family came to New Hampshire, and were among the earliest settlers between Exeter and Dover. Hilton later HISTORICAL 19 was accounted a citizen of the latter place, but not long after 1644 he went to Maine, settling between Kittery and York. He died in York in 1665 or 1666. - Samuel Hutchinson, bachelor, brother of Mrs. Wheel- wright, came to Exeter early in 1638; remained a year or two. He died in Boston, it is believed in 1677. Christopher Lawson came probably from Lincolnshire, Eng., in July, 1637, to Boston, Mass., whence he came to Exeter, perhaps the following year. He lived part of the time in Boston, part here; went before 1665 to Maine, where he became prominent. Thomas Leavitt was another of the Lincolnshire emigrants ; came here early, where he resided for some time before remov- ing to Hampton about 1643. Three of his sons, probably, were residents of Exeter. Edmund Littlefield, "a warm partisan" of Wheelwright, came here with the earliest settlers, but removed with that minister to Wells, where he became a leading man. He died Dec. II, 1661. Francis Littlefield, eldest son of Edmund, was born in 1619, came here early but remained only a few years, going from Exeter to Woburn, Mass., thence to Dover, and finally to Wells, where he closed his long life in 1712. Christopher Marshall of Boston in 1634, settled here early but remained only a short time. Francis Mathews, one of the John Mason company sent •over from England in 163 1, remained here only a short time, removing later to Dover (now Durham), where he died about 1648. 20 EXETER Griffin Montague of Brookline in 1635, came here about 1639, removed later to Cape Porpoise, Maine. He died before April I, 1672. William Moore (spelled also Mauer or Mawer) of Boston, came here early, became prominent in Exeter, did his share in the upbuilding of the new town and resided here all his life. Richard Morris of Boston, held military offices under the Massachusetts government; came here about 1638, but remained only about as long as Wheelwright. Nicholas Needham of Boston in 1636 ; came to Exeter with Wheelwright, probably ; was chosen second ruler of the settle- ment ; remained but a few years. Thomas Pettit of Boston in 1634. came here early, was elected selectman in 1652 and 1655. His son, Thomas Pettit, Jr., had a grant of thirty acres of land in 1649. Philemon Pormort, came from Alford, in Lincolnshire, Eng., was a friend of Wheelwright's ; came here early, and later went to Wells, thence to Boston, antl ivom there, probably to Great Island or Portsmouth. Robert Read was of Boston as early as 1635, came to Exeter wnth the early settlers, and several years later, like so many others, removed to Hampton. Edward Rishworth, a native probably of Saleby, England, was one of the pioneers in Exeter ; in 1640 was chosen by the court of the town "secretary" ; went with Wheelwright to Wells. Henry Roby, did not come here probably until the spring of 1640: selectman in 1650; removed to Hampton in 1688; became a judge of the Court of Sessions after New Hampshire was made a royal province. HISTORICAL 21 George Ruobone or Rabone, early settler, followed Wheel- wright to Wells. Robert Seward came, probably about 1640, stayed but a short time ; later of Portsmouth. John Smart, came from Norfolk in England to Hingham, Mass., in 1635, bringing with him his wife and two sons. He came to Exeter early, and lived in that part of the town which is now Newmarket. Robert Smith, a man of some prominence here for a short time in the early settlement, went to Hampton. Anthony Stanyan, glover, came from England to Boston in 1635, came to Exeter a few years later, afterward became a magistrate and town clerk, before going to Hampton, from which place he was representative to the General Court of Massachusetts in 1654. Augustine Storre, brother-in-law of Wheelwright, was in Exeter in the spring of 1638 ; chosen assistant to the first ruler ; was held in high esteem by the settlers ; left Exeter at the time of Wheelwright's departure. Samuel Walker, described as being a man of discretion and fairness ; remained in Exeter but a short time. James Wall, carpenter, sent over from England in the employ of John Mason, patentee of New Hampshire; came to Exeter before April 3, 1638, and doubtless remained during the formation of the settlement, and probably about twelve years, proving himself to be a useful citizen. He went to Hampton ir 1650, and died there Oct. 3, 1659. 2 22 EXETER George Walton, bom about 1615, came to New Hampshire about 1635, settled at Exeter not many years later and remained a short time, later going to Dover, Portsmouth and Great Island. Thomas Wardell, shoemaker, Lincolnshire, Eng., settled at Boston prior to the winter of 1634; supported Wheelwright, and came to Exeter about 1638. He held several offices here, but remained only a few years. He removed to Ipswich or Boston. William Wardell, came to this country, probably in 1633 ; came to Exeter in 1638; went to Wells with Wheelwright. ^^'illiam Wenbourne of Boston, 1635, came to Exeter prob- ably in 1639 ; returned to Boston probablly before 1648. William Wentworth, a native of Lincolnshire, Eng.. was born in March, 1615 or 1616; came to America probably in July, 1637; one of the earliest settlers of Exeter; joined Wheelwright in his departure from this place, and resided in Wells until 1649, when he removed to Dover. He was a sturdy, able man of strong religious convictions, and the ancestor of many who have made a worthy mark in life. Thomas Wight, another early settler in Exeter, lived here but a few years. Balthazar \\^illix, came to Exeter probably before 1640. His wife was murdered on her way from Dover to Exeter in May or June of 1648, and not long afterward Willix removed to Salisbury, where he died March 23, 165 1. Thomas Wilson, came with his wife and three sons, Humphrey, Samuel, and Joshua, to this country in June, 1633; lived in Roxbury for a time ; sympathized with Wheelwright and came with him to Exeter ; built the first Qrist-mill in town ; HISTORICAL 23 became ruler in October, 1642 ; died in the summer of the fol- lowing year. His widow married John Legat. Humphrey Wilson resided here probably all through his life. These men are those who are known to have been the earliest settlers in Exeter. The majority of them stayed but a few years. They were the pioneers, however, and worthy of mention. William Furber and John Underbill were in this place temporarily but were residents of Dover. The Dudley family was here as early as 1650. The Rev. Samuel Dudley had eighteen sons and daughters, who inter- married with the Hiltons, Gilmans, Leavitts, Lyfords, Halls, and other families, and their descendants are numerous. John Folsom, came from England ; settled in Exeter between 1650 and 1660. He and John Folsom, his son, were prominent in town affairs. Their descendants, many of them, became leading men in the state and nation. The Leavitt family, too, is one of Exeter's oldest. Samuel and Moses were the first to settle here in the latter part of the seventeenth century. They were both leading men in town. Jonathan Thing, first of the family of that name in town, held town offices in 1658, and later. Samuel and Bartholomew, his sons, were town officials also. The Gilmans, Conners, Lyfords, Gordons, Smiths, Robin- sons and Odlins in Exeter date back to the early days of the town. Many noted Americans were descendants of these men. The Barker, Colcord, and Dollof families were here early; and those of Kimball, Shute and others were here in the first years of the town. Others here in the first century were the Magoons, Pearsons, Lawrences, Kings, Odiornes, Lamsons, 24 EXETER Tiltons, Philbricks, Poors, Perrymans, Emerys, and others, men who helped estabHsh the town of Exeter in the days that "tried men's souls." The following list of names given in the "History of Exeter" by the late Hon. Charles H. Bell, as found on the town books or in other sources, between 1640 and 1680, will serve to bring the "Early Settlement" to a close : John Barber, 1678; John Bean, 1660-1 ; Thos.

When the French and Indian War broke out in 1744, Exeter, more than a century old, was no longer a frontier town, and consequently did not, as in the preceding Indian wars, suffer any inroads from the redskins and the French. The town however, from time to time furnished men for military service,, many of whom did scout duty on the frontier. In 1745, the famous Louisburg expedition occurred, and among the total of six hundred and fifteen men furnished for the expedition itself and as a reinforcement, Exeter contributed probably between forty and fifty men, among them Major Ezekiel Gilman, who distinguished himself by an ingenious device for transporting artillery over swamps, Capts. True- worthy and Daniel Ladd, Lieuts. James Dudley, Samuel Conner, and Jonathan Folsom, and Dr. Robert Gilman, surgeon, who was wounded near Louisburg by a piece of shell. In 1746, Exeter raised two or three companies of soldiers, several of whom lost their lives, among them Lieut. Bradley^ HISTORICAL 31 who with five companions was slain by Indians near Rumford, now Concord; and John (or Nathaniel) Folsom, shot by Indians at Nottingham. In 1755 New Hampshire raised five hundred men for the Crow'n Point expedition, and of this number Exeter had a company of eighty-four men. Other Exeter soldiers were sent out in the second regiment raised to reinforce General Johnson after the engagement at Lake George when the French troops and Indians under Baron Dieskau were repulsed, and the Exeter men rendered distinguished service. During the other expeditions and engagements of the war Exeter bore her share of the burden nobly, and contributed many of her citizens for service in the field. REVOLUTIONARY WAR. Exeter's part in the great struggle for American independ- ence began with the raid, under the command of the famous General Sullivan, upon Fort William and Mary at Newcastle, in December, 1774, seventy-five or more of her citizens taking part in the afifair, and the seizure of the cannon, arms and gunpowder. On the nineteenth of April, 1775, that day so momentous in the history of our country, as soon as the news of the afifair at Concord and Lexington was known, Exeter was ready to take the field of Liberty, and when at daybreak the next morn- ing, an express arrived summoning volunteers to march at once to Cambridge, there was no hesitation on the part of the townspeople ; the bells were rung, drums beat to arms, and by the middle of the forenoon, one hundred and eight men under 32 EXETER the command of Capt. Hackett were on their way to the front. Of these men the following list gives the names of a few : Capt. James Hackett, Lieuts. J. \V. Oilman and Nathaniel Gookin, Sergts. J. T. Gilman, Gideon Lamson, Noah Emery, Jr., Privates Eleazer Ferguson, Ebenezer Light, Jonathan Lou- gee, John Light, and Caleb Mitchell. Of this number John T. Gilman afterwards became a member of the Continental Con- gress, and for fourteen years Governor of this State. During that year and all the years of the war Exeter con- tributed many of her sons, showing that her patriotism and loyalty to the American cause was great and true. The total number of men furnished was not less than two hundred, most of whom belonged here. The list of officers too was not small, for in the regular Continental service alone, there were of Exeter, one brigadier general, one major, one captain and A. A. general, three surgeons, three commissaries, two captains and two lieutenants. The jail in Exeter during the war was used as a military prison, and several Exeter men served as guards. In the War of 1812, Exeter rendered no distinguished service, but several companies were raised here for brief peri- ods ; in the War with Mexico, too, she had but little part. It is to the great struggle of the War of the Rebellion that we must look for the repetition of that self-sacrifice, heroism and loyalty that characterized the people of this town in the Revo- lution. EXETER IN THE CIVIL WAR. When in April, 1861, Fort Sumpter fell, and the storm clouds of sectional feeling between the North and the South HISTORICAL 33 broke forth in the declaration of war, the patriotism and loyalty of the New England states was tested in the fires of the Nation's need. Like the great majority of the towns in this vicinity, the citizens of Exeter answered to the call of duty with a willing and prompt response, and made immediate preparation to do their share in the great conflict which was to follow, and con- tinue throughout four long, terrible years. This duty Exeter performed in a noble manner, and there is no stain on her record of loyalty and service. Every call for men and aid received a prompt response, many of her noblest sons left their homes and loved ones, for the south country, many of whom never returned. Several hundred soldiers were contributed by the town, most of whom resided here. These men were engaged in many of the great struggles of the war and very many of them lost their lives in the service of their country. After more than forty years since the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, and the new birth of a reunited nation, the ranks of the Grand Army, depleted constantly by the inroads ci that great destroyer Death, are but a remnant of the mighty host that passed in the grand review at Washington ; and they dwindle year by year. Let us therefore render the greater honor to the few "old soldiers" who still remain, and let us linger with reverence a moment over the roll of honor, which is herewith given, as a tribute to our veterans and to our departed dead. It is to be regretted that there is no complete list. The roll-call: Second N. H. Regt.: Col. Oilman Marston, later brig, gen. of vols., repeatedly severely wounded ; Capt. Wm. H.

It included in its membership all or practically all of the adult settlers here, for the colonization of the towns in this section of New England was essentially a religious one. The members of the church wrote to the church at Boston probably in the autumn of 1638, requesting that the Rev. John Wheelwright be dismissed from that church to become their minister. After some delay the request was granted. Mr. Wheelwright was dismissed, January 6, 1639, and with him, Richard Morris, Richard Bulgar, Philemon Pormort, Isaac HISTORICAL 41 Oross, Christopher Marshall, George Bates, Thomas Wardell and William Wardell "unto the church of Christ at the falls of the Piscataqua, if they be rightly gathered and ordered," and on March 3, 1639, Susanna Hutchinson, widow, Mary, wife of Wheelwright, Lenora, wife of Richard Morris, and Henry Elkins and his wife, without conditions. The Rev. Mr. Wheelwright, after refusing to admit the authority of Massachusetts over the settlement at Exeter, re- moved to Wells, in what is now the State of Maine, about the year 1643. His successor as pastor of the little flock was Mr. Thos. Rashleigh, who came to Exeter in the spring of 1643, received from the town a grant of a lot May 6th of that year, and acted as the minister here for, probably, nearly a year. In the spring of 1644, some of the inhabitants attempted to gather a new church, and to call the aged Rev. Stephen Bachiler of Hampton to act as their minister, but the Massa- chusetts General Court refused to permit the carrying out of their purpose, but seemed willing that the Rev. Mr. Wheel- wright should return to them. Accordingly the majority of the townspeople tried to induce that clergyman to become their pastor again, making a grant of land to him, his heirs and successors forever, "with these conditions, that he doth come amongst us again." Mr. Wheelwright, however, did not, for certain reasons of his own, choose to accept, and the church remained without any settled pastor for a period of about five years, though probably they held some religious services in the interim. The Rev. Samuel Dudley, a son of Governor Dudley, son- in-law of Governor John Winthrop, and an eminent clergyman 42 EXETER in the colony, became pastor in 1650, and continued as such until his death in 1683. The first meeting-house was built, probably, in 1652. It was a primitive, rudely-constructed building, but with later additions served the society as a place of worship for more than forty years. For several years after Mr. Dudley's death, the society had no settled pastor, though it was supplied by the Rev. Wm. Wentworth, one of Exeter's early settlers who had gone with Mr. Wheelwright to Wells, and, probably, by the Rev. John Cotton The third resident pastor of the church. Rev. John Clark, a graduatae of Harvard, was settled in 1698, over a church of twenty-eight persons then gathered in the new meeting-house completed in December of 1696, or early in 1697. His suc- cessor, Rev. John Odlin, also a graduate of Harvard, was minister of the church from 1706 to 1754. During his minis- try, in 1727, the parish of Newmarket was set off from Exeter, and incorporated Dec. 15th of that year. A new meeting- house was begun in 1730 and occupied Aug. 28, 1731. In February, 1742, Epping Parish was set off from Exeter, and in June of the same year the parish of Brentwood was made separate of this town. At the time of the settlement in 1743, of Mr. Odlin's son, Woodbridge Odlin, as his colleague — who, with his fathei, was opposed to the measures and influence of Whitefield, during "the great awakening" — a secession took place, and resulted in the formation of the second church with forty-one members. HISTORICAL 43 over which Rev. Daniel Rogers was settled from 1748 until his death in 1785. The Rev. John Odlin died Nov. 20, 1754, and his son con- tinued as minister of the Fiist Church during the troubled period which preceded the Revolution, showing himself to be a warm patriot and zealous advocate of the cause of Freedom. He died March 10, 1776, and was succeeded as pastor of the church by Rev. Isaac Mansfield, a Harvard graduate who had rendered services as chaplain in the Continental Army, and who was installed Oct. 9, 1776. In 1778, Mr. John Rice, one of the members, died, bequeathing to the society by his will, the house on Centre street which became the parsonage, and certain lands, to be employed for religious purposes, but in case of the failure to carry out the accompanying provisions to be used for the benefit of a grammar school here. The Rev. Mr. Mansfield severed his connection with the church Sept. 18, 1787, and the society united with the Second Church in supporting public w^orship, which was continued for more than two years. A joint call extended by the societies to Rev. David Tappan of Newbury, Mass., was not accepted by that minister because the call was not unanimous ; the societies could not agree upon any other pastor, and in 1790, the Rev. Wm. P. Rowland, a Dart- mouth alumnus, was called by and installed pastor over the First Church. Eight years later (1798) the present church edi- fice was erected. For thirty-eight years, until Dec. 5, 1828, Mr. Rowland continued his labors as pastor of the church, and was succeeded March 12, 1829, by Rev. John Smith, a native of Weathersfield, Conn., and a graduate of Yale. 44 EXETER In 1838, May 31st, the Rev. \\^illiam Williams, a Yale graduate, became pastor and remained until Oct. i, 1842. He later entered the medical profession. The Rev. Joy H. Fairchild, also a Yale man and pastor Sept. 20, 1843-July 30, 1844, was the next minister. His suc- cessor, Rev. R. D. Hitchcock, a graduate of Amherst, was pastor Nov. 19, 1845-July 7, 1852. He later was a professor for three years in Bowdoin College, and sometime afterward President of the Union Theological Seminary, New York. He died June 17, 1887. Rev. Wm. D. Hitchock was pastor here about a year, Oct. 5, 1853-Nov. 23, 1854, the day of his death. Rev. Nathaniel Lassell was installed pastor June 19, 1856, and ended his pastorate three years later, in 1859. Rev. Elias Nason, a graduate of Brown, came in Novem- ber, i860, and remained until Memorial Day, 1865. Rev. John O. Barrows, an Amherst man, was installed Dec. 5, 1866, and received his dismissal Oct 6., 1869, closing his work that he might enter upon mission work in Asia. Rev. Swift Byington, a Yale man, the sixteenth pastor of the church, was installed as such, June 2, 1871, and remained more than twenty years, when Rev. W. L. Anderson came for a pastorate which continued until the latter part of 1907, when Rev. Geo. H. Driver, the present pastor, was installed. SECOND CHURCH. In 1743, forty-one members of the First Church in Exeter seceded from that body, and proceeded to erect a new meeting- house and to organize a separate church. The house was fin- HISTORICAL 45 ished in 1744, on land given by Colonel Peter Oilman and Samuel Oilman, situated on the north side of what is now Front street. It was a good-sized building of two stories, with a steeple, which held a bell. For some years the society had no settled pastor, but in 1748, Rev. Daniel Rogers accepted a call to the church and was pastor from Aug. 31st of that year until his death in 1785. After the death of Mr. Rogers, the society for nearly seven years was without a settled pastor. Rev. Samuel Austin of New Haven, Conn., supplied for several months in 1790, but declined to become settled pastor. In November that year Rev. Joseph Brown was installed pastor, and remained until 1797; after which, for a time, the church declined. Preaching and worship was maintained, however, the church being sup- plied, and the parish organization continued unbroken. Rev. Hosea Hildreth came to Exeter in 181 1 as an instructor in the Academy and was engaged to supply the church. He con- tinued to do so for a period of nearly five years, and until the society secured a settled pastor. The church was reorganized Dec. 24, 1812. On the elev- enth of September, 18 17, Rev. Isaac Hurd became pastor. During his pastorate the old meeting-house which had been in use for a period of almost eighty years, was replaced by a new edifice erected on land furnished for the purpose by the trustees of the Academy, and completed by March, 1824. The Rev. Samuel D. Dexter was ordained colleague pastor with Mr. Hurd, Dec. 2, 1847, but lived only a few years, his career being cut short by his death. Rev. Asa Mann was -installed as Mr, Hurd's colleague, Nov. 19, 185 1. On the 46 EXETER fourth of October, 1856, the Rev. Dr. Hurd ended his labors on earth. Less than a year later, July 8, 1857, Mr. Mann was dismissed, and was succeeded by Rev. O. T. Lanphcar, who was installed Feb. 2, 1858. He was a native of Vermont, graduate of Middlebury College, and came to Exeter from a church in Lowell, Mass. After six years of successful labor here he was succeeded as pastor by Rev. John W. Chickering, Jr., a native of Portland, ]\Ie., and a Bowdoin graduate, who was installed Sept. 5, 1865, and remained until his dismissal July 18, 1870, when he went from here to Washington, D. C, to accept a professorship in the Deaf Mute College. The eighth pastor of the church, Rev. Geo. E. Street, was installed March 30, 187 1. He was a native of Cheshire, Conn., a graduate of Yale, and came to Exeter from the First Church in Wiscasset, Maine. He remained until his death. Rev. Alexander P. Boume came about 1896, and was suc- ceeded by the Rev. S. H. Dana, D. D., who came from Spring- field, 111., several years ago, and continues as pastor at the present time. BAPTISTS. The first Baptist church in Exeter was organized with ten members, October 17, 1800. The church was small and for several years was not able to support a resident pastor. The first place of meeting was at the dwelling house of Harvey Colcord, and afterwards the society met at the Centre school- house. The first meeting-house was built on Spring street,, and dedicated in 1805. For several months in 1806, Mr. Bar- nabas Bates preached to the society. In 1809, Rev. E. L. Boyd became preacher and continued as such with success for two HISTORICAL 47 years. During the period 1814-1816, Revs. Chas. O. Kimball and Jas. McGregore supplied the pulpit a part of the time. Later services were conducted by divinity students. In 18 17, the first Sunday school was commenced in connection with the church, the first teacher of which was Deacon John F. Moses, who held the office of superintendent during nearly half a century. The society was incorporated by the Legislature in 18 18, and in that year Rev. Ferdinand Ellis, the first settled pastor, came, who remained from June, 1818, to September, 1828. From the autumn of that year until February, 1833, Rev. John N. Brown served as pastor. He returned to the church in 1834, and remained until April, 1838. The second meeting-house of the society was dedicated Nov. 19, 1834, and served as a place of worship until the church on Front street was erected. From May 29, 1833, to Feb. 16, 1834, the Rev. John Cannon, Yorkshire, England, had minis- tered to the society. After Mr. Brown's dismissal Rev. J. G. Naylor supplied the pulpit, but it was more than two years before a pastor was settled. Rev. Noah Hooper, Jr., was the next resident minister, remaining with the society from Dec. i, 1840, to July 20, 1845. For nearly three years after this the church was without a pastor, but Mr. T. H, Archibald preached during a part of the time. Revs. EHjah J. Harris, 1848-April 7, 1850; James French, January 1851-Jan. i, 1853; Mr. Russell; Franklin Mer- riam, September, 1854-November, 1856 ; Jas. J. Peck, February, 1857-April, 1861, were the succeeding pastors of the church. In the summer of 1861, the Rev. Noah Hooper returned for a 48 EXETER second pastorate, filling the position of pastor here with success and satisfaction until the autumn of 187 1, when he procured a dismissal. Rev. John N. Chase became pastor, probably the first of December, 187 1, and continued to minister to the society for many years. In December of the year 1854, twenty-two members with- drew from the church on Water street, and formed a new soci- ety. Meetings were held in a hall on Water street, until a meeting-house was built on Elm street. The church was dedi- cated Oct. I, 1856. The members of the church, at first, were ministered to by Rev. J. B. Lane, but shortly after the com- pletion of the new house of worship, Rev. T. H. Archibald became their settled pastor, continuing as such for nearly two years. Following his dismissal, the church was supplied by theological students from Newton, Mass., and afterwards by the Rev. Mr. Mayhew. Rev. Chas. Newhall was installed pastor about the year 1862, and continued his labors here from that time until about 1870 or 1871. About this time (1871) the two Baptist societies united once more ; the Elm street meeting-house was abandoned, to come into the possession, later, of the Second Congregational Society, by which it was used as a chapel. In 1874- 1875 the reunited Baptist Society erected a hand- some brick church on the corner lot of Spring and Front streets. The Rev. John N. Chase closed his pastorate in December, 1894. The succeeding pastor, Rev. A. E. Woodsum, Colby College, 1875, ^"^ Newton Theological Seminary, 1879, '^^'^''O came here from IMassachusetts, is still pastor of the church. HISTORICAL 49 UNIVERSALISTS. As early as 1810, probably, a society of Universalists was formed in Exeter, and in 1819 incorporated. For about ten years or more, religious services were held, but at the end of that time the organization was abandoned. Some years later, however, meetings were held once more, and services main- tained in the old court-house, by the Rev. Hosea Ballou and other clergymen of the Universalist Church. On the 26th of May, 183 1, a new society was formed, and later a house of worship was erected on the east side of Centre street. Among the preachers who supplied the new church were the Revs. T. K. Taylor and Wm. C. Hanscom. Rev. James Shrigley of Baltimore, Md., was installed pastor, June 16, 1837, and remained three years or more. The next pastor, Rev. H. P. Stevens, stayed here but a year or two, and was succeeded some time after his removal by the Rev. Henry Jewell. During his pastorate the church increased in membership to such an extent that it was thought advisable to construct a new and larger church. This was done, and the church, dedicated Dec. 18, 1845, ^^^ served as a place of worship successively for the Universalists, Unitarians and Methodists. The next pastor was Rev. R. O. Williams, who was a physician as well as a clergyman. His stay was brief. Suc- ceeding pastors were the Revs. John L. Stevens and Silas S. Fletcher, the latter of whom was the last pastor of the church. In 1854, the Universalist Society disposed of the meeting-house to the newly formed Unitarian Society and discontinued their separate organization. 50 EXETER CHRISTIAN SOCIETY. •The members of this society held reHgious meetings prior to the year 1830. Elder Abner Jones preached here occasion- ally, but the first regular minister here was probably Elder John Flanders, who remained five or six years, during which time the society grew, formed a church and erected a chapel at the foot of Franklin street. Elder Elijah Shaw and Elder Edwin Burnham who came about the year 1840, were succeed- ing pastors. The chapel had to be enlarged to accommodate the increased membership during Elder Burnham's pastorate, but about 1842, or not long after, many seceded through the influence of the teachings of the noted Wm. Miller, and the Adventists. This loss of members weakened the Christian Society, but the organization continued until about the year i860, the members being ministered to by Elders Simeon Swett, J. C. Blodgett, and finally John W. Tilton. The society became extinct a year or two before the outbreak of the Civil War. ADVENTISTS. This society, made up chiefly of former members of the Christian and Methodist Societies, was constituted in 1843 ^"*^ continued to hold meetings in the chapel on Clifford street for many years. The present church on Elm street was erected in 1901, and Elder Knowlton was pastor for several years, being succeeded by the present pastor. Elder F. H. Laird. METHODISTS. The first efforts for the formation of a Methodist Church in Exeter were made by five ladies in 1830. At their invitation, HISTORICAL 51 the Rev. D. I. Robinson, then of Newmarket came and preached here. The following year Rev. A. H. Worthing of Newmarket held services here occasionally. In 1832, Exeter became a regular station, and Rev. A. P. Brigham was appointed pastor of the Methodists here. Meetings were held in the old court- house. In November, 1832, John Clement, Samuel Tilton, and Moses P. Lowell organized the First Episcopal Methodist Soci- ety in Exeter. In 1833, Rev. A. H. Worthing was stationed here; in 1834, Rev. Samuel Hoyt. The society occupied, by invitation, the old Universalist church, but in 1834 erected a brick church of their own upon Portsmouth avenue. The sermon of dedication was preached by the Rev. Geo. Storrs, Feb. 10, 1835. Rev. W. H. Hatch became pastor that year, but remained only a year, being succeeded by the Rev. Alfred Metcalf, whose suc- cessors were Revs. O. Hinds and Jacob Sanborn. Later pastors were Revs. E. D. Trickey, 1840-1841, at which time (1841) the church numbered about 180 members; and D. I. Robinson, 1842, in which year he and a majority of the members of the church, because of the lack of harmony in the society, seceded and formed a Wesleyan Methodist Church, which was never very prosperous. For some years after 1842 Exeter was united with Ames- bury, Mass., and had no separate pastor. In 1847, Rev. Isaac W. Huntley was pastor; in 1848-9, Rev. Ebenezer Peaslee. In 1858, Rev. James M. Buckley, a young but able preacher, supplied the pulpit and drew a large number of people to the church. He later became a distinguished clergyman, a doctor 52 EXETER of divinity and editor of the leading Methodist journal of the United States. Rev. Mr. Stokes had charge of the society the following year, but the society was already declining and soon ceased to maintain public worship. In 1861 and 1862, the meeting-house was opened occasion- ally, but it was not until 1867 that a new society was organized. Rev. C. W. Millen preached for a few weeks that year, and after his departure Rev. J. D. Folsom came, and the society grew in numbers and prosperity. Rev. H. B. Copp succeeded Mr. Folsom, and remained three years. During his stay, the Unitarian church on the corner of Front and Centre streets was purchased by the society. The pastors who came after Mr. Copp ended his labors here, were the Revs. S. E. Quimby, three years ; S. C. Fam- ham, 1 874- 1 875 ; J. H. Haines, three years; M. Howard, 1879- 1880; J. W. Walker, 1881-part of 1882; C. H. Hannaford, remainder of 1882; C. J. Fowler, 1883; John W. Adams, 1884- 1886; C. N. Nutter, 1887; Rev. G. A. McLaughlin, 1888-91; Rev. S. E. Quimby, 1891-94; Rev. T. W. Whiteside, 1894; John H. Emerson, 1895-96; Rev. Wm. Woods, 1897-1903; Rev. W. T. Boultenhouse, 1903-05, until his death; Mr. Par- sons of Boston University supplied several months. Rev. R. H. Huse came in 1906 and is the present pastor. The Rev. Mr. Huse is an alumnus of Drew Theological Seminary, 1903, and was pastor of churches in Sanbornville and Brookfield before coming to the Exeter church. HISTORICAL 53 CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Catholics of Exeter were first organized for the observance of public worship in 1853 by the Rev. John McDon- nell of Haverhill, Mass. There were not many Catholics here at the time, and at first they had no church edifice, and services were held only occasionally. The number of communicants of the faith increased however year by year, and in July, 1859, the Rev. J. Ph. Perrache was appointed regular pastor of the people here. Meetings were held in the old Universalist church on Centre street, for a time, but in 1868 a brick church was erected on Centre street, and at the same time the house on the corner of Water street was made into the parochial residence for the pastor. Father Perrache, after he had remained here nearly three years, was succeeded in April, 1862, by the Rev. Bernard O'Hara. In December, 1865, the Rev. Canon Walsh became pastor, to minister to the people for about three and a half years, at the end of which time, his successor, Rev. M. C. O'Brien, came (June, 1869) for a stay of a few months. In November of the same year Rev. Charles Egan was appointed pastor. Father Egan's pastorate continued until December, 1875, when his place was taken by the Rev. Michael Lucy. Rev. John Power, the next pastor of the church, came in October, 1878. He was a graduate of St. Charles College, Baltimore, Md., where he was ordained in October, 1878. He was succeeded as pastor of Saint Michael's by the Rev. John Canning, and prepared for the priesthood at Rome, where he spent several years, and who came to Exeter from the church 4 54 EXETER in Machias, Maine, and continued as pastor here until his death in June, 1904. Rev. W'm. Cavanaugh was temporary pastor for a few months, at the end of which time (September, 1904) the Rev. John C. Finen, D. D., came to begin his pastorate, which has continued since that time. The Rev. Dr. Finen graduated at Laval College in Mont- real, and later at Laval L'niversity in Quebec, where he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He was ordained June 26, 1888, by Cardinal Taschereau, and the same year appointed to Saint John's Church in Concord, where he remained until 1891, when he was appointed to several missions in that section of New Hampshire, among them Tilton, where he built a church, Ashland, Plymouth, Lincoln and Woodsum, coming from his labors there to Saint Michael's, Exeter. THE UNITARIAN SOCIETY. The Unitarian Church in Exeter was formed in June, 1854, the membership consisting chiefly of former members of the Second Parish who entertained Unitarian opinions, and of Uni- versalists, whose society had declined. The Universalist church at the corner of Centre and Front streets was purchased by the society, and served as a house of worship for fourteen years. For nearly two years the society had no settled pastor, depending for preaching upon visiting ministers who supplied the pulpit, though during a considerable part of the time Rev. Joseph Angier, a graduate of Harvard, was preacher. In April, 1856, however. Rev. Jonathan Cole was installed first resident pastor. Mr. Cole was a graduate HISTORICAL 55 of Harvard, and an able preacher, continuing here for five or six years, before going to Newburyport, Mass. His successor, Rev. John C. Learned, was ordained pastor here May 6, 1863, and remained in Exeter nearly six and a half years. During his pastorate the society erected the church or the corner of Elm and Maple streets. Mr. Learned later went to St. Louis, Mo., and was succeeded as pastor of the church here by Rev. Edward Crowninshield, who remained only a year. About a year after Mr. Crowninshield closed his labors, the Rev. B. F. McDaniel came for a pastorate which continued during a period of ten and a half years. During Mr. McDan- iel's stay in Exeter, the parsonage was built upon the lot adjoin- ing the church. His successor, Rev. John E. Mande, a Har- vard graduate, served only one year. The next pastor. Rev. Alfred C. Nickerson, came to the church in April, 1886, and was succeeded by Rev. Edward Green, the present pastor, about twelve years ago. The Rev. Mr. Green is a graduate of Brown University. EPISCOPAL CHURCH. The Episcopal Society in Exeter came into existence about the year 1865. It originated through the desire of students at the Academy who wished to enjoy the services in the church in which they had been accustomed to worship. The Rev. Dr. (later Bishop) F. D. Huntingdon conducted the first service in the town hall in July, 1865. In September of that year the parish of Christ Church was organized. In October, Rev. Geo. F. Cushman, a graduate of Amherst in 1840, became pastor. He remained six months. Services were held in the town hall 56 EXETER at first, and afterwards in the old Congregational vestrj- on Centre street. Mr. Cushman's successor, Rev. James Haughton, a native of Boston, and a graduate of Harvard, i860, came for a pas- torate of a few years, during which the church on Elliott street was erected, the means for its construction being raised through the praiseworthy efforts of the treasurer of the parish, Miss Caroline E. Harris, and of the rector. The church was ready for occupancy at Christmas, 1867, and consecrated Sept. 30,. 1868. Mr. Haughton resigned to take charge of a newly formed society in Hanover, and was succeeded by the Rev. Dr. Samuel P. Parker, a Harvard alumnus, who remained two years. The next pastor was Rev. Henry Ferguson (Trinity College), who came in July, 1872, and was pastor, except for an absence of a year, until about 1878, his place being filled in the interim, while he was abroad, by Rev. J. H. George. Rev. Geo. H. Morgan, like Mr. Ferguson a native of Con- necticut and graduate of Trinity, was pastor of the church during a period of more than eight years. Upon his resigna- tion to accept the rectorship of a church in New Haven, his place was taken by the Rev. Edward Goodridge, another Con- necticut and Trinity College man, who began his labors here Feb. 26, 1887. Mr. Goodridge had previously been in charge of a church in Geneva, Switzerland. He remained in Exeter many years. His successor, the Rev. Victor M. Haughton, an alumnus of Columbia and Haverford, came to the church from Clinton, Mass., Nov. 8, 1903, and has continued as pastor since that time. HISTORICAL 57 CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, holds regular serv- ices in a part of the Town Hall set apart for worship. It was organized here not more than a few years ago. QUAKERS. About the middle of the eighteenth century Exeter had a few families who were members of the Society of Friends. They held meetings for a time in a barn which was located on the south side of what is now Front street. Among them were Samuel and John Dudley. The records, however, give little information about the Friends, and the society never was very largfe in this town. EDUCATIONAL ITEMS. 'Philemon Pormort, one of the earliest settlers in Exeter, was an experienced schoolmaster, having taught in Boston while a resident there, and doubtless taught here also during his five years' stay. John Legat, the second teacher, came before Master Por- mort left. He had taught school in Hampton and continued to teach after his settlement here. For two generations or more the people of Exeter, few in number, required the maintenance of elementary schools only, but about the end of the eighteenth century, the population had so increased as to demand higher schools, and a higher grade of instruction. The first schoolhouse in town was built prob- ably about the year 1707. 58 EXETER Jonathan Pierpont, Nicholas Ferryman, Enoch Coffin, Joseph Parsons, Robert Hale, John Graham and Ward Clark, were all schoolmasters here before the year 1725. Most of them were graduates of Harvard College. In 1805, a law was passed by the New Hampshire Legis- lature, providing for the separation of towns into districts for the purpose of maintaining schools, and in 1807 it was voted by Exeter to divide the town into six school districts. Of the teachers who rendered the longest as well as the most faithful service in the schools of Exeter may be men- tioned Rev. Ferdinand Ellis, and his two daughters, Charlotte and Rhoda, Benjamin B. Thompson, and Sperry French, who was principal of the grammar school for more than a quarter of a century. The change in the state laws providing for the grading of schools was adopted in this town in 1847. A high school was established, and the grammar and primary schools were kept separate. A handsome high school building was erected near the old town house, on Court street. Elbridge G. Dalton, A. M., Dartmouth, 1855, was principal 1848-1853. The present prin- cipal is Mr. Albion Burbank. THE PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY. The Phillips Exeter Academy was founded in 1781 by tlie munificence of John Phillips, LL. D., a native of Andover, Mass., but after 1741 a resident of Exeter, who bequeathed to the institution at his death in 1795 ^ large portion of his estate. HISTORICAL 59 The academy was opened in 1783, under the preceptorship of WilHam Woodbridge, and dedicated the same year. In Decem- ber, 1870, the academy building erected in 1794 was burned. The new building was erected in 1872. The venerable and highly esteemed Benjamin Abbott, LL. D., was the preceptor from 1788 to 1838, a period of fifty years, and his successor, Gideon L. Soule, served another very long period of time. Among its earher instructors were the Rev. Doctors Daniel Dana, Abiel Abbott, and Joseph S. Buckminster, James Walker, president of Harvard College, Nathan Lord, president of Dart- mouth College, Hon. Alexander H. Everett, Asher Ware, judge of the district court of the United States in Maine, and Nathan Hale, editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser, and many others of equal worth and fame who followed them. Among the students who attended the academy in the earlier years are found the names of Lewis Cass, a native of Exeter, who became Secretary of State of the United States ; Everett Saltonshall, Congressman from Massachusetts ; Edward Everett, the renowned scholar, orator and statesman; John G. Palfrey, member of Congress and distinguished as an author ; John A. Dix, U. S. Senator from New York; Jared Sparks, the historian ; Joseph G. Coggswell of the Astor Library ; George Bancroft, historian; Richard Hildreth, historian; Thomas W. Dorr, of Rhode Island; Chas. Paine, Governor of Vermont; John P. Hale, U. S. Senator from New Hampshire; Alpheus Felch, Governor of Michigan and U. S. Senator; James H. Duncan, Congressman from Massachusetts; all these were stu- dents at Exeter more than a half century ago. Such a galaxy 6o EXETER of names as appear upon the catalogue of Phillips Exeter prob- ably cannot be equaled by those of any other preparatory school in the country. During the last half century, too, many of Exeter's graduates have become famous in the nation. This school. New Hampshire's greatest, is considered one of the foremost if not the very first of the leading academies in America to-day, and has won a reputation for scholarship, pre-eminence in athletics, and in all branches of school interest, of which New Hampshire is justly proud. The alumni number probably more than seven thousand, and represent every state and territory of this country, and also many foreign countries. TRUSTEES. Sandford Sidney Smith, A. B., LL.

Hampton in the eastern part of Rockingham County . is a coast town, adjoining Exeter, the county seat, and is bounded on the southwest by Hampton Falls, on the northwest by Exeter, on the northeast by North Hampton, and on the south- east by the Atlantic Ocean. It is twelve miles south from Portsmouth, and forty-seven miles south-east from Concord, the capital of the State. It is located on the Eastern Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and is connected by an electric railroad with Exeter, Portsmouth, Hampton Falls, Amesbury, Haverhill, and intermediate and connecting points. The surface of Hampton is comparatively level, and a large proportion of the land is salt marsh and low interval lying along the river which divides this town from Hampton Falls. Most of the land is of good quality and well adapted to mowing and tillage, and many of the inhabitants are engaged in farming. The breeding and raising of poultry, too, is a profitable pursuit of the townspeople. The situation of Hampton is pleasant, affording from its eminences romantic views of many interesting points, among them the Isles of Shoals, and the seacoast from Cape Ann to 86 HAMPTOX Portsmouth. For this reason it has become a noted summer resort and in the warm season thousands of people flock to this town and its beaches, where accommodation is afforded for visitors by excellent hotels. An abrupt eminence, Boar's Head, extends into the ocean and divides the beaches, about midway between the mouth of the river and the northeast corner of the town. The fisheries have been prosecuted with much success, and shipbuilding was formerly carried on largely here, many years ago. The town, however, is primarily, though some manu- facturing is done here, a summer resort and an agricultural community. The population in 1900 was 1209.

The land grants of the Council of Plymouth in 1622, to Sir Ferdinand© Gorges and Capt. John Mason, and in 1629 to Mason alone, both included the tract called by the Indians Winnacunnet. Perhaps the earliest notice of the place is that in the records of the General Court of Massachusetts, under the date of March 3, 1636, where this order is to be found : "That there shalbe a plantacon settled at \\'innacunnet & that Mr. Dumer & Mr. John Spencer shall have power to presse men to builde a house forthw'th, in some convenient place, & what money they lay out about it, shalbe repaide them againe out of the tresury, or by those that come to inhabit there." In accordance with this order a house afterward calletl the "Bound House" was built for the purpose of securing Winna- HISTORICAL 89 cunnet to Massachusetts, though in fairness to the construction of its charter the place was apparently outside of the juris- diction of Massachusetts. About two years after the settlement of the town of New- bury had been begun near the Parker river, the inhabitants, for some reason "haveing been moved to leave their plantation," received from the General Court, Nov. 2, 1637, a conditional grant of Winnacunnet, and all who should "remove w'thin one yeare" were to "have three years imunity" from the first day of March, 1638. About this time, April 3, 1638, Rev. John Wheelwright bought of the Indians a tract of land around Squamscott Falls, and the purchase included Winnacunnet. Early in that year (1638) two persons at least were resid- ing at Winnacunnet, Nicholas Eastman and a Mr. Godfrey. They remained but a very short time. Where Godfrey went to is not certain ; but Eastman was soon after in Rhode Island, where in 1672 and 1673 he was the Governor. In the autumn of 1638, no permanent settlement having been made at Winnacunnet, and the time allowed to the inhab- itants of Newbury for a removal to this place having nearly expired, a petition signed by Stephen Bachiler and seven others was presented to the General Court requesting permission to settle here. Their petition was granted, and in October of that year, in all probability, the settlement of what is now the town of Hampton was begun. In the early part of the year 1639, the inhabitants were joined by a new band of settlers, with whom came Mr;. Timothy Dalton, who was soon associated with Mr. Bachiler in the work 90 H a:\ipton of the ministn . Before the year closed the population of the settlement had increased probably to about sixty families. At a town meeting June 30, 1640, grants of land were made to nearly sixty persons. The General Court enacted, May 22, 1639, that "Winna- cunnet is alowed to bee a towne." etc., and this order may be considered as the incorporation of the town. During the next fall session of the General Court, the Indian name Winnacunnet was changed to that which the town has had ever since, "Win- nacunnet shalbee called Hampton." Hampton was now on the way to growth and prosperity. The little band of pioneers had taken the first steps toward the establishment of new homes in the wilderness, and the first months of sufifering and toil had been safely passed. December 24, 1639, the town granted to the following persons the number of acres denoted by the figures : Mr. Steven Bachiler, 300 (besides his house lot) ; Mr. Timothy Dalton, 300; Mr. Christopher Hussey, 250; Robert Swaine, 100; John Cross, 250; Wm.

REVOLUTIONARY W^\R. At the thne of the outbreak of the great war for the inde- pendence of the colonies, Hampton, nearly one and a half cen- turies old, had been a flourishing community, and took an active and honorable part in the seven years of conflict. The soldiers who went to Portsmouth, October, 1775, from Hampton numbered thirteen men, who served only a few days. HISTORICAL 95 Corp. Joshua Towle of that number served also three months at Peekskill. In 1775, Jonathan Moulton was appointed colonel of the troops guarding the seacoast, and in Col. Wingate's regi- ment there were Hampton officers : Capt. Henry Elkins and Lieuts. Thos. Leavitt and Jas. Perkins. In July, 1776, the following men went to Ticonderoga: Capt. Samuel Nay, David Moulton, John Moulton, Samuel Lamprey (5 mos.), John M. Moulton, John Murphy, Josiah Moulton, 3d, Samuel Marston, Micajah Morrel, Junr., Simon Philbrick, Edmund Philbrick, Jonathan Palmer, Zaccheus Brown, John Drake, Junr., James Hobbs. In an account of the payment of these soldiers there are also the names of Paul Long, Caesar Small and Bradbury Green. Jonathan Palmer died at Ticonderoga in 1776. Additional at Ticonderoga: Capt. John Moulton, "Coll" Toppan, Daniel and Reuben Lamprey, John Shaw, Simon San- born. At Peekskill: Sergt. John Drake, A. P. Towle, Jas. Leavitt. September 13, 1776, Lt. Col. Abraham Drake of Col. Moulton's regiment was appointed to a separate command. In Col. Drake's regiment Nath'l Batchelder was adjutant, and Thos. Leavitt quartermaster. September 25, 1776, Capt. Nathan Brown and Ensign Benj. Batchelder were officers in Col. Long's regiment, stationed at Newcastle, and in November, 1777, marched under orders, to Ticonderoga. Benj. Tuck died in the army, Oct. 20, 1776. Of the 3d N. H. Regt., for service in New York, eight were from Hampton: Lieut. Josiah Dearborn, Sergt. Simon 96 HA^IPTOX Dearborn, Sergt. Jonathan Leavitt, Fifer Josiah Moulton, Sam- uel Drake, John Marston, Thos. Woodman, John Sanborn. May 6, 1777, Nathaniel Leavitt of Hampton was appointed an ensign in Capt. Weare's company. " June, 1777, Simeon Marston was a captain and Jonathan Leavitt an ensign in Col. Senter's battalion for the defense of Rhode Island. Capt. Marston and Lieut. Leavitt were in Col. Peabody's regiment in the summer of 1778. The following men served in Capt. Moses Leavitt's com- pany from Sept. 8 to Dec. 16, 1777: Jeremiah Batchelder, 2d lieut., Daniel Philbrick, John Taylor, Jonathan Towle. The following Hampton men went as volunteers to Sara- toga with Col. Moulton, October, 1777: Adj. Josiah Moulton, Ji., Capt. John Dearborn, Lieut. John Taylor, Clerk Josiah Lane, Sergt. Moses Elkins, Corp. Abner Page, Corp. Joshua Towle, Corp. Nathan Brown, Jonathan Philbrick, Batchelder Brown, Abner Sanborn, Jona. Marston, Samuel Marston, Jabez Towle, Benj.

Batchelder, Josiah Dearborn, Jr., Simon Dow, Jr., Isaac God- frey, John Spring. John Lane was drafted. Hampton took but little part in the War of 1812, and the War with Mexico, but in 1861, when the secession of the Southern States and the attack on Fort Sumpter brought on the great struggle of the War of the Rebellion, like the other towns throughout this section of the North, this town made immediate preparations to do her part in the conflict which was to follow, and speedily raised quotas of men and large sums of money to aid in the suppression of the Rebellion, and the preservation of the American Union. The men she sent, like their forefathers in the Revolution, were sturdy patriots, loyal to their country and to her institu- tions, not afraid of war and bloodshed, nor if it were necessary to sacrifice their lives that the great cause of Freedom and Union might be won. It is nearly half a century since they marched away to the Southland, many of them never to return, and the people of to-day, citizens of a reunited country, can but little realize what sacrifice they made, and what toil and suffering they endured. But as they see the depleted ranks of the surviving soldiers melting away with the years, and 98 HAMPTON realizing as they do that all which they possess they owe to them because they saved the nation, are proud to honor and revere the soldiers who remain, and their comrades who are sleeping in the quiet of the grave, waiting the bugle note that will summon all to the last great call of the roll.

Stephen Bachiler, 1638- 1641 ; Rev. Timothy Dalton, 1639-1661 ; Rev. John Wheel- wright, 1647-1656; Rev. Seaborn Cotton, 1657-1686. The first settlers of Hampton were of a strong religious character, and they brought with them to their new homes here a strong religious spirit which early manifested itself in steps taken for the promotion of the religious and spiritual welfare of the community and organization for public worship. With them, too, they brought their pastor, Rev. Stephen Bachiler, styled the father and founder of the town. The Rev. Mr. Bachiler was a native of England, where he was born about the year 1561. He came to Boston from his native country in 1632, and went immediately to Lynn. There he began his ministry which continued until the close of 1635, not long after which time he removed to Ipswich. 7 I02 HAMPTON . With the half dozen or more members who had come from England with him, and with whom he had left L\ nn, he under- took to form a settlement at Mattakeese (Yarmouth) on Cape Cod. In 1638 the company was at Newbury, and in the fall of that year settled at Winnacunnet (Hampton). Tradition has it that a meeting-house was built by those who formed the settlement, as soon as they had constructed log houses for dwellings. It was built probably of logs and erected on the Green — near where the Academy afterwards stood, and the site of several meeting-houses built successively at later periods. In the spring of 1639, "Teacher" Timothy Dalton was asso- ciated with the Rev. Mr. Bachiler in the ministry, the age of the pastor being at that time very great. After Mr. Bachiler's troubles on account of charges made against him (not proven), and the burning of his residence, he removed to Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth), where he lived from 1647 to 1650, and probably for some time later. He after- wards returned to England, where in the village of Hackney, two miles from London, he died in 1660. in the one hundredth year of his age. Rev. Timothy Dalton, second pastor of the church, was a native of England, and a graduate of Cambridge in 1613. He came to New England about 1637. Mr. Dalton at the time of his settlement here was more than sixty years old. His minis- try continued until his death, Dec. 28, 1661. The second meeting-house was occupied for public worship probably about the month of June, 1650. The Rev. John Wheelwright (a brief sketch of whose life is given in the Exeter history), the founder and first minister HISTORICAL 103 of Exeter, came here from his ministry in Wells, Maine, to assist Mr. Dalton, about the year 1647, ^^'^^ remained until 1656, when he returned to England. Rev. Seaborn Cotton began his ministry in 1657. He was the son of Rev. John Cotton, the famous Boston minister, was born at sea, while his parents were coming to America, grad- uated at Harvard in 165 1, and was settled at Windsor. Conn., before coming to Hampton. He remained here until his death in 1686. The third meeting-house was begun in 1675, but it was not completed until several years later. Rev. John Cotton was the next settled pastor, coming here in 1686, to remain until the summer of 1690. Rev. John Pike came next for a short pastorate which he closed in February, 1692, when he removed to Newbury. Rev. John Cotton re- turned to Hampton in 1696 for a second pastorate which con- tinued thirteen years and four months until his death, ISIarch 27, 1710. Rev. Nathaniel Gookin came soon after Mr. Cotton's death and remained until 1734. In 171 1, the Falls church was organized, forty-nine mem- bers of the old church being dismissed for the purpose. The fourth meeting-house erected in Hampton was first occupied as a place of worship Oct. 18, 1719. In 1725, nine persons were dismissed from the church to form one in Kingston. In 1726, a church was organized and a pastor settled in the town of Rye, and a considerable number of the first mem- bers were of the Hampton church. 104 HAMPTON In the last years of Mr. Gookin's ministry here, several assistants were engaged to help him in the work, among them a Mr. Gilman, who remained at least seven or eight months, and preachers, hired for three months at a time, until 1734. Mr. Solomon Page and Mr. Ward Cotton were among those who preached here, and the latter succeeded Mr. Gookin, becom- ing sole pastor on the latter's death. His first sermon in Hamp- ton was delivered in July, 1731. At the time he became pastor of the church there were 253 members in full communion. About three years afterward, a church was formed in Kensing- ton, sometimes called the "third parish in Hampton." Suc- ceeding Mr. Cotton, the Rev. Ebenezer Thayers, 1765- 1792 was pastor of the church. ~ Not long after Mr. Thayers' decease the Presb)rterian Schism occurred, and many of the old church seceding formed a new society, of which Rev. Wm. Pidgin became pastor. He was a native of Newburyport, Mass., a graduate of Dartmouth, and was ordained Jan. 27, 1796. Soon after the schism the Congrcgationalists began to hold meetings by themselves, their first preacher being the Rev. Mr. Perkins. He remained only a few weeks, and on the 17th of April, Mr. Jesse Appleton came for the first time, continuing to supply the society until his ordination which took place about ten months later. He was a native of New Ipswich, N. H., a graduate of Dartmouth, and received the degree D. D. from both Dartmouth and Harvard. The society was incorporated with eighty-one members, Dec. 6, 1796. The Rev. Jesse Appleton was ordained Feb. 22, HISTORICAL 105 1797, and in November of that year the new meeting-house was dedicated. Both the Presbyterian and Congregational societies had now a place of worship, but parsonage property and ministerial funds were a source of contention and strife between them which continued for some time. The Rev. Mr. Pidgin continued to preach at the Presby- terian church for a number of years, going after his dismissal here to the church in Minot, Maine. In the meantime the Rev. Mr. Appleton was preaching at the Congregational church, but in 1807 he procured a dismissal to accept the presidency of Bowdoin College. The churches were now without pastors, and in 1808 they united for the observance of worship, and Rev. Josiah Webster was made pastor of the church, continuing his labors with suc- cess for more than a quarter of a century. During his ministry in Hampton, 170 persons were received to the full communion of the church. After Mr. Webster's death in 1837, the church remained without a pastor for nearly a year.

From this time they continued to worship in a house of their own, some of the Little River people uniting with them until a church was built in that village.

When Methodism was introduced in Hampton, the Con- gregational and a Christian society had been in existence for many years. The first Methodist sermon preached in Hampton was delivered in the old North schoolhouse by the Rev. James M. Fuller in December, 1835. Sometime in the month of November, 1836, preaching having been held at regular intervals of time for several months, the friends of Methodism held their first "protracted meeting," at which twenty converts were made, and immediately united together in a class. The society worshiped in the small house formerly occupied by the Christian society. In May (1837) the house which had been given to the society, and repaired and fitted, was rededicated to the worship of God, and the Rev. J. M. Fuller preached the sermon. July 4, 1837, Rev. John Brodhead was appointed to preach here, and he labored in Hampton until the following spring, when he died at his residence in South Newmarket. Rev. Wm. Padman was appointed here in 1838.

I Census Abbreviations The population of the towns of Exeter and Hampton. N. H., has been arranged in famiHes where that arrangement has been possible. In addition to the resident living members, the non-resident members are included. However, this does not include all the non-residents of these towns, as the non- resident appears only when such person has one or both the parents still living in town. After the name of each non-resident person will be found the address when such address has been given to us. Non- residents are indicated by the * preceding the name. Followini; the name of each family appears the address of the family when the said address is different from the name of the town. The married lady's name is written in full with the maiden name in parenthesis ; and further if a daughter, whose name appears in her parents' family of course, has married, whether a resident or a non-resident, there will be placed after her name, in parenthesis preceded by a small m the name she has taken in marriage, thus (m ). Following the name of the population appears the occu- pation. To designate these we have in many cases used the more common abbreviations and contractions, as follows : Farmer — far ; carpenter — car ; railroad service such as con- ductor, brakeman, fireman or engineer — R. R. ser : student de- notes person studying in a high school or advanced institution of learning; pupil denotes a member of the lower grades of schools and includes all who have reached the age of five years ; laborer — lab ; physician and surgeon — phy & surg ; clergyman — clerg ; merchant — mer ; blacksmith — blk ; bookkeeper — bk kpr ; mechanic — mech ; machinist — mach ; engineer — eng ; worker — 146 EXETER wkr ; work — wk ; shoe shop operative — s s op ; cotton or woolen mill operative — mill op ; electrician — elec ; painter — ptr ; paper hanger — pap hgr ; carriage work — carg wk ; dressmaker — dr mkr ; traveling salesman or commercial traveler — sales or com trav ; music teacher — miis tr ; teamster — team : general work — gen wk ; employ — emp ; retired — ret'd : telephone operative — tel op ; telegraph operator — teleg op ; housekeeper — ho kpr ; photographer — photog ; manager — mgr ; mason — mas ; veter- inary — vet : builder— bldr ; Baptist — Bap ; Free Baptist — Fr Bap ; Methodist — Meth ; Universalist — Univ ; Unitarian — Unit ; Con- gregational — Cong.
