The Pi lhs, he is aware that many of them aro uncouth
and unpoetic, while some may seem to detiacl seriously from the lit-
INTRODUCTION. IX
erary merits of the volume. But having determined to take any, all
must in justice be included. The quaintness or roughness of an
epitaph is otten its chief recommendation. The sentiment is usually
devout. The propriety of giving these epitaphs in connection with
the deaths of individuals whose records are transmitted, appears from
the fact that some hearts were once moved to choose such expressions,
with reference to the same individuals, as their buried friends. Their
publication is no breach of courtes3', since thej- were all originally
designed for the public. They belong peculiarly to, are in fact a part
of, ihe literary historj- of the town ; while many of them, fast crum
bling to decay, will in this volume be preserved for the precise purpose
for which at first designed, — the perusal of future generations.
It was proposed iu the Prospectus that the •'¦ /Sketches" should be
merelj- "occasional or incidental," — thrown , in "to relieve the
monotony of genealogical detail,'' — and applied " principally to those
public or professional men who were several years resident in town,
and to other sons of Sanbornton either at home or abroad, of whom
(1) previouslj- printed sketches or obituaries have been found, whose
friends (2) have voluntarily furnished such notices, and who (3) have
been personallj- known to the author during his fifteen 3'ears of resi
dence here as pastor of the Congregational Church." Beyond these
limitations it was not possible to go, while it is freely admitted that
manj-, to whose names only a brief record is appended, may have been
equallj' worthy of a fuller notice. But the work is strictlj^ genealogical
rather than biographical. Manj' excellent citizens and sons of the
town had passed awaj' during its flrst centur}^, with whom no personal
acquaintance was possible ; of manj- of these, no printed memorials
have been found ; and of others still, their surviving friends have
shown no desire that particular mention should be made. Where
much was not given, much cannot reasonably be required.
All efforts have been made which were possible, under the circum
stances, to ascertain pedigrees and ancestral connections with fulness
and accuracy. To this end the published " Genealogies" extant have
been studiously consulted ; but these are comparatively few in number.
The records of other towns have also been, to some extent, inspected,
though these, in many places, are defective. Where other means of
information failed, recourse could only be had to the tradition of aged
people belonging to different families, and in most cases no certain
light has been obtained back of the Sanbornton immigrant ancestor,
or the first of a given name who settled in the town. The author has,
however, scrupulously distinguished between fact and probabilit}- in
the statements made, at the headings of the various families.
More time might have made the records, especially of some families
X INTRODUCTION.
in the Appendix, more full and satisfactory. The "twenty 3'ears"
assigned by Dr. Bouton for this work are not yet completed. But
space would not have allowed the swelling of this volume much
beyond its present size ; and therefore, such as it is, with a full con
sciousness of its imperfections, many of which arise, as before hinted,
from the very nature of the enterprise, the obscurities of handwriting,
and the various and unsatisfactory ways in which the material has been
brought to the author's hands, he deems it best, without further delay
or attempts at improvement, to give it to that public which has
patiently awaited its appearance.
The numerous " sources of information," and the many individuals
to whom tbe author feels indebted, are usually noticed under their
respective records, as referred to from Index II. An exception is
found in the case of Mr. Stephen G. Taylor, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
whose manuscript records of the Taylor Family — the result of several
months of patient labor — were of essential value. Separate mention
should also be made of the venerable Perkins Brothers, Capt. Chase,
who gave the earliest encouragement for this history, and his older
brother, Capt. John B., whose valuable aid was providentially' con
tinued nearly to the completion of the manuscript. The aged Mr.
Peter Burley, Mr. Jeremiah Weeks, so lately departed, and several
others, are also entitled to grateful remembrance ; while to the youth
ful James H. W. Abbott, the author stands indebted for the genea
logical papers which he left upon a few of the Sanbornton families ;
and to his father, the lamented James B. Abbott, M. D., for his
" Sketches of the Sanbornton Physicians," most of which are incor
porated in the records of the present volume, under their several
names.
EXPLANATIONS.
I. The genealogical arrangement employed in this volume is simple
and easilj' explained, as follows : Heads ol families are given in the
larger t3'pe ; children, or descendants, immediately' after, in the smaller
tj'pe. Through each family name, in all its branches, consecutive
numbers are found on the left margin of the printed page. These
numbers, preceding the heads of families, are followed (except the
first), after the name, by smaller bracketed numbers, each referring
back to that consecutive number at which the same individual appears
as a child. Those children, or names in smaller type, who are after
wards to appear as heads of families, are followed, after each name,
by larger bracketed numbers, referring forward to the places where
thej' thus appear. It was flrst contemplated that all parents, especially
in the male lines, should thus reappear, even to the latest generations.
A few of the records which were earliest prepared, like the Hunkins
and Odell families, were arranged chiefly upon this principle ; but it
was found that the same carried out would swell the volume to an
inordinate size, so that the arrangement was modified, as now appear
ing in the Sanborn, Morrison, and most of the smaller families, and
generally in the tracing of female lines ; viz., that not the last generation
but one of a given familj- should be the last to be thus transferred,
but the second or third before the last.^ By this arrangement not only
children are entered under their proper consecutive numbers, but
grandchildren and great-grandchildren under the same consecutives,
the grandchildren appearing after the Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3, etc.,
the great-grandchildren after the Eoman numerals I., II., III., etc. ;
and in a few cases, even great-great-grandchildren after Arabics in
parenthesis, — (1), (2), (3), etc.
II. Pedigrees are indicated, after the several heads of families, bj'
a list of names in parenthesis, with small exponent figures, as on
p. 1, the first over the name in question, thus, " Ezra^," showing the
generation to which the individual belongs ; the next being the father,
" Samuel^," with exponent one less ; then the grandfather, with expo
nent one less, etc., back to the first known ancestor, whose name
appears with the exponent ', thus, "George^." It must be noted,
however, that this fiist exponent does not indicate the " original
ancestor" of the individual, nor even, in most cases, the earliest in
xii ENPLANATION.S.
this country (as with the Abbotts), but simply the earliest as known
to the collector of these records, which often go no fui-ther back than
the flrst ancestor in this town, though in a few cases, as with the
Gilmans, to previous centuries in the old country.
III. A few records coming in late, after the families had been
arranged for the press, were necessarily entered, like the female lines,
with two or more generations under the same consecutive number,
instead of being transferred, like corresponding branches of the same
family. Instance, p. 438 [47]. Iu olher cases, for the same reason,
one or two consecutive numbers must needs be entered fractionally,
as on p. 241, because the numbering had been completed, and could
not well be changed, after the new mati-rial was received.
IV. The paienthesis ( — ) has other peculiar uses in this work
besides those already indicated ; e. g., (1.) After the Christian name
of a female, her maiden surname is frequently given in parenthesis
before her married surname, as on p 2, line 8. (2.) In giving the
children of a female line, the family- surname thus appears after the
Christian name of the flrst child, as on p. 1 [8, 1]. (3.) If two
different dates were found, as of births or town conflicting with
private records, or if a similar uncertainty existed as to names, etc ,
the more probable is given first, and the other directlj' after, in paren
thesis. (4.) In numerous instances, after the date of a marriage,
the surname of the officiating clergj-man is given in parenthesis, and
the honored names of " Woodman," " Crockett," and " Bodwell " thus
appear most frequentlj'. All others are the ordinary uses of the
parenthesis, which, from the sense, will be readily understood.
V. Quotation-marks after a death alwaj-s indicate the epitaph taken
from the gravestone of the individual buried in Sanbornton, unless
otherwise stated.
VI. Figures after " ae." indicate the years of age ; or, connected
with dashes, thus, " 1—1—1-7" (p. 3 [2L»]), the years, months, and
days, unless otherwise specified.
VII. It is not claimed that all who served as soldiers in tlie several
wars are noted in these records ; but as many as were heard of in that
capacity are thus noticed, to whom reference is made in Index II.
VIII. Ordinarily, when no town is mentioned as the place of birth,
Sanbornton is to be understood, unless there is previous speciflcation
to the contrary, or the head of the given family is just before repre
sented as having elsewhere settled.
IX. In a few instances, families, chiefly belonging to other towns,
like the Ladd Family, were j'et so intimately connected with Sanborn
ton by marriages that their records are given with nearly the same
degree of fulness as the others.
EXPLANATIONS. XIU
X. When all of a given family name are shown in the records to
have been descended from one and the same ancestor, the singular,
"Family-," is, with a few exceptions, employed in the headings (as
also in the Index and Table of Contents) ; when such common ances-
iry is not shown, the plural, " Families," is emploj-ed ; and, in either
case, the term "Branch" or "Branches" is used to designate the
separate family groups.
XI. In the disputed orthography of certain surnames, a compro
mise is usually made. Preference may sometimes be given to the
older forms of spelling in the running or page titles and the Index,
but not iu the way of authority or dictation.
XII. Miscellaneous explanations : A mark of interrogation ( ?)
after a name or date implies uncertainty. Consecutive numbers are
always referred to in brackets, except in the Indexes. The usual
abbreviations for titles are employed, as also for the names of Slates
and provinces, which usually appear but once after each family name
when the place of residence is flrst given. Names of towns, if with
out special designation, are supposed to be in New Hampshire. Other
abbreviations are those commonly used in books of this kind, as " b."
for " born" ; " m." for " married" ; " unm." for " unmarried" ; " d."
for "died"; " ae." for "aged"; "dau." for "daughter"; "res."
for " resides " or. " residence " ; " res'd. " for ' ' resided " ; " rem." for
" removed " ; and " t. r." for " town record (s) .''

study of theology with Rev. Jonathan French, of Andover, Mass., and
received approbation to preach from the Westford Association, at
Stoneham, April 30, l^^Oe. Esq. Josiah Emery was sent bj- the town
to Andover, seventy miles, on horseback, to confer with him and invite
him lo preach as a candidate, which he did for three months, deliver
ing twentj'-three discourses, and two very pungent ones, Aug. 24,
1806, from the text, Isa i. 3, 1. c. (For the action of the town, see
Ecclesiastical Hist.) He was ordained Nov. 13, 1806, Dr. McFarland,
of Concord, preaching the sermon, from Titus ii. 11. "His ministry
was faithful and earnest in no comraon degree. He presented hatit-
ually, as though he believed them with all his heart, the great funda
mental doctrines, — ruin, redemption, and regeneration." After a
season of deep and praj-erful anxiety for his people, in 1816, the Spirit
was poured from on high ; the whole parish was shaken, and more
than one hundred were hopefully converted to Christ, many of whom
were fathers and mothers, araong the raost respectable and influential
members of the congregation. Other seasons of special awakening
were enjoyed, but none comparable to this. During the forty-six
years of his ministry, 307 were received into the church, and there
were 484 baptisms, mostly of children. He was eminently a peace
maker, " combining the utmost meekness of spirit and forbearance of
demeanor with a declared decision and firmness of principle " He
took an earlj- stand on the temperance question, seconded by his
excellent wife ; " was at once a most unworldly man and an excellent
financier." Was ever bound to his colaborer. Rev. Mr. Crockett, of
the 1st Baptist Church, " by a beautiful friendship, based on a rautual
and high respect, and a warm affection." He was dismissed by the
same council that installed his successor, the Rev. James Boutwell,
June 24, 1852, and ever afterward proved a good parishioner, a faith
ful teacher in the Sabbath school, and an occasional aid to his pastor,
in the pulpit, while his strength continued. On the fiftieth anniver
sary of his settlement he preached a half-century sermon, but it was
not published till after his death, which occurred March 24, 1863,
'* when his 86th year was nearly completed, after a brief illness of only
one week, passed in a peaceful and steadfast reliance on Christ." At
least two of his discourses were published, besides the above. 1. "A
Sermon delivered at the Request ofthe Female Cent Society, Dec. 23,
1812," from Mark xiv. 7, I. c. 2. " The Sovereignty of God, a Ser

The friendship and advice of Rev Mr. Gibbs, the esteemed pastor
at the former place, who was a native of England, induced hira to
repair thither to prosecute his theological studies, which he did, in
1836, studying divinity at Highbury College, London, two j-ears. He

with his parents in the old cemetery. No native of the town has risen
higher in distinction and usefulness abroad, while none retained a more
ardent affection for the town itself, or was more ready to labor for the
benefit of its citizens, who were gladdened, for a short time, by the
prospect of his spending the remainder of his life among them had it
been prolonged.
Dr. Bodwell, who received his degree of S. T. D. frora his Alma
Mater in 1864, possessed " a high order of natural gifts, and a broad
and generous culture." " English literature was a study and a delight
to him ; and few men understood and exercised better the forces and
the graces of our language, whether written or spoken."
"From his early English training for the ministrj' and its exercise
there for the first fourteen years, he acquired the off-hand, semi-me-
moriter stj-le of the English pulpit. In this he had peculiar success,
and was, withal, very successful in training his ministerial pupils to
this model." " He was above all artifice or professional manoeuvre,
trusting to the truth, plainly given, and to the Spirit of God ; and as
indorsing this policy, the churches to which he ministered will alwaj-s
carry distinct marks of growth and of fruit for the years lie was with
them." " He had a keen sense of the apt and beautiful in the expres
sion of thought, and many of his sermons will long be remembered as
admirable specimens of the best English." Several of them were pub
lished, though a sensitiveness, now rauch regretted, kept many others
from the press. Among those printed are " A Pastor's Farewell to
his Flock," preached in the 1st Congregational Church, Woburn,
Aug. 5, 1866, and " The Preachers demanded in Our Daj-, and how
to secure Them," an inaugural discourse, as Professor at Hartford,
the same year ; but his native town and church were brought under
peculiar obligations to him for the admirable " Historical Address''
delivered at the centennial celebration of the Sanbornton Congrega
tional Church, Nov. 13, 1871. He was one of the founders of the
" American Theological Review," and one of the four original propri
etors and editors of the "Boston Congregational Review." many of
the pages of which, for its first flve years, were from his own pen.
His lectures on English life, delivered at Dartraouth College and else
where, soon after returning from England, and on educational and
other topics, scattered through years, placed him among our most
instructive popular lecturers. As a pastor he excelled, especially
amid the " reverses " of his people, and " in the chambers of the sick
and of the dead." He will always stand out in the raemory of those
who knew him " as a fair specimen of the noble, liberal, Christian

fast. " His home," as in Framingham, Woburn, and Hartford, in all

under the pastorate of Rev. Milton Badger, a sermon of Dr, Lyman
Beecher's, on the sovereigntj^ of God, being especially instrumental in
bringing him into the light and liberty of the gospel. He graduated
at Dartmouth College, in 1836, ranking well as a scholar, and at the
Andover Theological Seminary, in 1840, having spent one year teach
ing, in the mean time, at Dunkirk, N. Y. Was m. April 10, 1837, to
Mary P., dau. of Dea. Paschal Abbott (see "Abbott Families"). His
first settlement was at Brentwood, from Nov. 4, 1841, till May 12,
1852, when he repaired immediately to Sanbornton, and commenced
his labors on the following Sabbath. Installed June 24, 1852. An
ardent attachment grew up between him and the people, which con
tinued unabated till severed by his death, April 21, 1865, in his 51st
year, after months of prostration and suffering. " Our pastor," and
" I shall rise again," are upon his tombstone. He was a sound theo
logian, — dwelling with much love and earnestness upon the doctrines
of grace, — an unusually attractive preacher, and an ardent patriot.
"The banner of the cross was first iu his esteem, and next the stars
and stripes." Sixty members were added to the church during his
ministry. His last most deeply affecting interview with his people was
at Communion, on the first Sabbath of March, 1865, soon after a
"wonderful revelation ofthe Divine Redeemer" to him on that morn
ing, after which he was " wholly weaned from earth " and all its anx
ieties, so that, to the closing hour of life, his "peace was as a river."
Mrs. B. was a woman of rare intelligence, amiabilitj-, and excellence
of character, a model pastor's wife, and, though afflicted with almost
total blindness during her last years, she ever seemed cheerful and
resigned. She followed her lamented husband Sept. 9, 1868, ae.

Bunker, was a native of Barnstead, early emigrated to Lee, and
thence, for his final settlement, to New London. (The family is

THE BURLEY, OR BURLEIGH, FAMILY.
The orthography of Burley was earliest employed in Sanbornton,
and is most common now amohg the descendants in town, though
Burleigh is claimed bj' some as the more ancient, and is f:ir raore gen
erally in vogue in other places. (Burghle5% the " castle on the moor,"
prevailed before Queen Elizabeth's day.) The race, as a whole,
has been distinguished for solid phj-sical as well as superior mental
endowments. It might, indeed, be styled, by a j-et briefer spelling,
the Burly race, as four brothers, named below [15, 16, 19, 21],
i. e., Joseph, Nathaniel, David, and Daniel, were weighed on one
occasion together, giving the goodly aggregate of 900 pounds !
1. Giles' Burley and Elizabeth, his wife, were the earliest ances
tors of the Sanbornton families of this name in the couutr}-, being
inhabitants of Ipswich, Mass., in 1648 (see Burley Genealogy). Their
second son :
2. JamesS, b. Feb. 10, 1659, d. in Exeter, about 1721.
3. Joseph^, second son of the last, b. April 6, 1695 ; removed to
New Market with an ancestor of the Hersej- familj- (see), beiug
attracted by the oak and ash timber, and there d., his estate being
administered March. 1761. His chihlren, b. in New Market and con
nected with Sanbornton, were these :
4. Joseph [8], who must have been considerably the oldest, though not
in town so early as his brothers.
5, 6. Nathaniel [13]. David [23].
7. Susannah, who accompanied her brother [13] to this town, and d.
Nov. 10, 1823.

11. Stevens, b. Deo. 25, 1755, iu New Market; settled with his father till
the latter's death ; then moved to GUford, He seems, in fact, to have preceded
his father into Sanbornton, as his name appears upon the " Association Test"
of 1770 as Stephens Burley, while his father Joseph's does not. He was also
a Sanbornton soldier in the Revolution, enlisting for eight months, May 8,
1777, which must have included the Bennington battle and Burgoyne cam
paign. He was ra., by Rev. Mr. Woodman, to Abigail Taylor, of Gilmanton,
Sept. 3, 1788, and of his eleven children, the oldest : — 1. Abigail, was b. in
this town, Dec. 3, 1789; m. Ezekiel Robinson, June 30, 1812, :xnd d. June 20,

13. Nathaniel* [5] (Joseph^, James^, Giles'), having m. Sarah
Powell, settled, first, in New Market ; was then for a few years in
Canterbury, and carae thence to this town in April of the third year
after the first settlement, i. e., 1767, as reckoned by the age of his oldest
son. Thev crossed the river at the Bridge, then covered with birch
poles, a little east of the present Hill's Block. The mother rode horse
back with her two youngest children, one and a half bushels of meal,
and the barnyard poultry, slung over their horse's back, in a straw
bed-tick, saddle-bag fashion, with '¦ breathing holes for the birds," out
of which their heads protruded ! while the father, with the two oldest
boys, seven and six years of age, drove the two cows on foot ! In this
stvle they presented themselves at a small log-cabin, previously built
in what is now Mrs. Daniel Davis's orchard, southeast corner of Lot
No. 35, 1st Div. The husband helped his wife to dismount, swung
open the bark door, and politely said, "Walk in, ma'am"! The
good lady both laughed and cried. Mr. Burley was a carpenter and
joiner, having learned his trade iu Chester. It is said that he received
the fifty acres on which he located from the proprietors as the first
houie carpenter in town, but there is no documentary evidence of
this. {Se-. Lots.) He was obliged to go down-country the first two
years to work for the means of subsistence, at one time bringing corn

physicians. He was a horticulturist, and first introduced the " San

THE CATE FAMILIES. — Two Branches.— L
1. James Cate (or Cates) was b. about 1728, and came from
Epping, though all our attempts to trace his ancestry in that town have
failed. He had moved hither prior to Jan., 1768 {see "Petition"
headed by himself) ; was a house joiner by trade; settled and lived
in what is now Frankhn, Lot No. 69. 2d Div.. the late Wyatt place,
building first a log, and then a substantial frame house. A road then

eight original merabers of the Congregational Church, though he could
not then have been over 43 years of age. No descendants of his name
were found left within the original limits of Sanbornton in 1876, yet
more of his descendants bearing other names than of any other
original raember of the church, listened, as members of the congrega
tion, to a church historical discourse that year delivered. He was an
energetic and good man, very attentive to all his religious duties, so
long as phj'sically able, and retaining his rational faculties to the last.
Of unusual intelligence among the laymen of his daj'-, he was a prolific
rhymer, especially- in the style of elegy (see Specimens of Sanborn
ton Poetry). He was moved by his grandson, Abijah Sanborn, to
the home of his dau. [4], where the last twelve years of his life were

THE CHAPMAN FAMILIES.
Four distinct heads of farailies bearing this name are found in San
bornton, between most of whom, as yet, no connection can be estab-
. lished. The absence of records in some of these families, and of
information respecting others, will leave their history meagre and
unsatisfactory. Three Branches. — I.
We have, first, the Edmund and Edward [7] branches, these being
the names of two brothers ; though a slight doubt exists as to the
latter's name, none as to the identity and relationship. They are
said to have corae from Epping.

Nathan Smith (see Smith Families) , alter the man whom he highly
esteemed ; and his conversion ancl first impulse towards the ministry-
were occasioned bj- the loss of that child. The place is still shown,
in pasture back of his old house site, where he consecrateil himself to
God. Such were his gifts after this, that he was advised b^- Capt.
Folsom, of whom he learned the joiner's trade, and b3- others, to
preach. Left his familj-, aud went to Gilmanton Academy. Preached
his first sermon on a large rock, on the Batchelder farm, and was the
first to occupy the original Baj- meeting-house. He soon after rem. to
New Durham, and was associated with Rev. B. Randall, the founder
of th ! Free Will Baptist denomination. While there, two years,
1809-11, he preached frequently in this town, near his former home,
especially during a revival, which culminated from his last sermons,
before moving away. On one of these occasions, having arrived from
N. D., he proceeded up the aisle, singing, with singular effect, a hymn
which he had composed on the waj^, a large audience being in readi
ness for him. First lines :
" Dear brethren, we have met agaiu,
To preach and pray and sing."
Second stanza : " Since I was here, how have you done ?
How have you walked ? or have you run ?
Or like the eagle flew ?
Or have you fell in Despond's slough ?
Then Idk to Him who sees you novv,
To frame your minds anew."
There were four six-line stanzas. Thoy were first procured by Elias
Smith, who had them printed, and they afterwards appeared, with
alterations, in several editions of the Free Will Baptist Conference
Hymn-Book. Another hymn of his, entitled " The Old Hemlock,"
devoutly celebrates a tree which shielded (prevented) another from
falling on him, when a little boy, beiug with his father, who was fell
ing trees in the woods. He finally returned to Sanbornton Bay, where
the late Boynton house was built for bim, and he remained as pas-

1. John' Clark, the earliest known ancestor of raost of the San
bornton Clarks, was b. in Haverhill, Mass. His father was a ship-car
penter, in H., and an observation of his, respecting ship building, is
said to have been handed down for more than 200 years, "that tliere
would be but few more vessels built in Haverhill, for the want of tim
ber," it being then thought that no timber cou'd be used but " such
slicks as filled the moulds," without splicing or cutting across the
grain, as they did in after years. A sister of his [1] m. Mudget,

"original ancestors" being found in Savage, prior to 1700. It is

graduated from the New England colleges, and Union and Princeton
in 1826, and twenty-eight had become ministers of the gospel. The

and there lived till 1834, when he sold ; went to res. with the Canter
bury Shakers for one year, and left with them his only surviving son,
who has since become a leading member of tbeir society. He " never
attended school a day in his life " ; h nee could neither read nor make
figures, but measured lumber by a rule taught him by his cousin, Esq.
James [114], and could carry any number, even to 100,000 feet, accu
rately in his head ! He was of stalwart frame, six feet two inches,
weighing 240 pounds; had also, naturally, a great intellect; "was
built for a philosopher." One of his flrst pieces of important busi
ness, after getting his trade as a franier, was the framing of the upper
portion of the State Capitol, at Concord, in 1817, the mechanic who did
the lower framework " not venturing to do the upper " 1 But dam build
ing chiefly occupied him through life. Like his brother Joseph [43],
with great mechanical genius, he was much given to studying hydraulic
science and art. In 1823, being called to Boston to superintend the
erection of a tide-water dam, he received, on returning, the title of
" Boston John," to distinguish him from " six other John Clarks" in
Sanbornton. The original dam at Walter Aiken's factory, in Frank
lin (built 1818), that at Bristol, on the Pemigewasset, the Amsden
dam at Fisherville, Sewall's Falls dam, and the great dam, which
finally stood at Lawrence, Mass., are among the monuments of his
genius and oversight. No man " could so easily' and surel}"- as he
conquer an uglj- spot of water-power." He d. in the house where m.,

1839-43. For a whole generation he was well known, not only in the
vicinity of his home, bnt all over the State, for his general intelli
gence, and his readiness to communicate of his stores of information
both in matters pertaining to his own business, and on raore general,
practical, and scientiflc questions. He was especiallj^ versed in the

GENEALOGIES. — COGSAVELL. COLBY. 161
THE COGSWELL FAMILY,
of this town, and also that of Gilmanton, are descended from
1. John Cogswell, an early settler in Essex (Chebacco), Mass.,
from England.
2. JosephI, the first known ancestor of the S. line, was b. in
Essex, and rem. to Londonderry, in 1795. His son :
3. Jonathan^, b. 1789, in E. ; m. Mary Dickey, of Londonderry,
and settled in Henniker. Of their children :
4. James Richards^, b. June 18, 1824, in Henniker; m. Esther
Sawyer French, in Manchester, June 29, 1847, being then a machinist
in that city. She was b. Dec. 12, 1823, in Grafton, the dau. of Henry
and Sarah (Sawyer) French. (Her mother, having passed a serene
old age, here d., in S., April 3, 1878, ae. 87—6.) Leaving Manchester,
in 1859, he was a farmer in Dorchester four years; came to S. in

8. Freddie Lewellyn, b. AprU 21, 1801, in Dorchester; there d., April
6, 1863, in his 2d year. THE COLBY FAMILIES.
At least three distinct branches of Colby families appear in the
early historj' of Sanbornton, two of which are known to have been
connected. They may have descended from Anthony Colby, who,
according to Savage, was in Cambridge, Mass., 1632 ; freeman, 1634 ;
moved to Salisbury, and d. 1663, leaving eight children, — Samuel,
rep. frora Amesbury, 1689, being probably of this fainilj- ; or, as
tradition here informs us, they raay have sprung frora one or more of
the " three brothers," William, Isaac, and Philip, who are thought to
have "emigrated from the North of England between 1675 and 1750."

THE CRITCHETT FAMILY.
1. Thomas Critchett seems to have been the unique character
among the early settlers of town, of whom various laughable accounts
were given. Of his origin and pedigree nothing is known. He was
not here, in all probabilitj-, during the winter of 1768, and 3-et was
fairly established as the owner of land, in Lot No. 26, 1st Div., in
July, 1770, when the first road was returned ! His house on that lot
was at Site 1, some 60 rods back from the Bay at the old Copp place.

THE CROCKETT FAMILY.
The earliest mention of the familj- narae in New England is in Sav
age's General Dictionary, Vol. I., page 475 : "Thomas Crockett, of
Kittery, 1648," and of " York, 1652," being the same, doubtless, as
the Thomas Crockitt, who is said, in letter of Ambrose Gibbens, July
13, 1633, to have been one of the four men who were then with him,
in the infant colony of " Newichwanicke " (Salmon Falls). — See
Belknap's History, Farmer's Ed., page 425.
Tradition, in the Sanbornton family, informs us that another brother
settled early in Virginia, from whom may be derived those bearing the
name of the same spelling, in different histories of Tennessee and

55 — 5. He was originall)' a shoemaker, and the old ledger in which
his accounts were kept and balanced with great accuracy contains the
following interesting items in his own handwriting : " John Crockett,
Jun., and wife, moved home to Northwood, Feb. 14, 1789; lived
there till Jan. 14, 1794 ; then moved to Sanbornton, and engaged for
one' year in the work of the ministry to the Baptist Church of Christ."
"I was ordained Sept. 3, 1794, in the 29th year of my ao-e, in the
3d year of my pilgrimage" (alluding to his life after conversion).
F'rom a printed sketch of the 1st Baptist Church, written by himself a
year or two before his death, we farther learn that the April before his
removal he first received a letter from the church requesting him to
visit them and preach the last Lord's day in the same month. (The
church in Northwood, to w-hich he belonged, had giveii him a license
to preach the gospel in 1792 ) " I came :it their request, and pre.-iched
my first sermon from Isaiah xxxii. 20, ' Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem
a quiet habit;ition.' " This relatiou, thus happily formed, was not dis
solved until it pleased the great Head of the Church to call his ser
vant home !

GENEALOGIES. — CROCKETT. 191
Mr. Crockett was known extensively, and was happy in extending
his uselulness as far as his acquaintance. Manj- now rise up and call
him blessed (1833), not only in the town in which he was settled, but
in all the surrounding region. He was a man that took a very active
part in the operations of all public bodies of a religious character.
For a number of years be acted as moderator in the meetings
of t'ne Meredith Association, and was frequentlj' called to preside in
councils and ecclesiastical bodies. He was not a map of public edu
cation, but he knew how to prize an education, and was very active in
aiding whatever promoted this object. For a long time previous to
his death, he was a member of the board of overseers in the New
Hampton Institution, and a trustee of the "Woodman Sanbornton
Academy, to both of which institutions he contributed liberallj- of his
substance. He was a beloved and useful pastor ; genial and social,
sympathetic, and frequent in his visits among his own people, and in
his intercourse with other denominations, kind and prudent. He led
the church successfully through many seasons of trial, but also of
great revival interest, baptizing more than three hundred and forty,
who were added to the church during bis ministrj-. He officiated at
bj' far a greater number of funerals and marriages (as the t r. show)
thau any other clergyman in this town.
About two years before his death, he was much injured in conse
quence of his horse taking fright, on which he was riding. He recov
ered from this injurj-, however, so far as to be able to attend to his
customary pastoral duties until the 1st of June, 1832. During the
week before its first Sabbath, he preached a funeral sermon, and on
l^riday attended the church meeting preparatorj- to communion. His
" last test," as bis gravestone informs us, was Rev. xxi. 7, " He that
overcometh, shall inherit all things " ; after discoursing from which,
he administered the Lord's Supper to the church for the last time,
being the two hundred and twentieth that he had enjoyed that pVivilege
with the people of his charge. He was immediately attacked with a
disease which baffled all medical aid, depriving him a part of the time
of the use of his reason, yet leaving him opportunity, in his lucid
moments, to show that his faith in the Saviour remained unf:iltering,
and that the gospel which he had preached to others was his support
in the last conflict. Just before his death, he gave directions respect
ing his funeral services, and sweetly fell asleep iu Jesus, Feb. 6, 1833,
in the 67th year of his age, aud the forty-first of his ministry. The
Kev. "William Taylor preached his funeral sermon from 2 Tim. iv.
7, 8. He was first publiclj- mentioned in David Benedict's " General
History of the Baptist Denomination,'' Boston, 1813, p. 500. His
home in this town was ever, after the first year or two, at the Corner,

his father was settled) till his death, Feb. 6, 1809, of congestion ofthe lungs,
in his 78th year; was accustomed always to hold a raeeting on the Sabbath in
his beloved house of wor-hip, of which he had the care, even in the absence
of a minister; and when no person but himself was present, at the appointed
hour he would faithfully go through a short service from the well-worn Bible,
which he always carried to the house of God, aud slug aud pray. His loss to
the society was irrep;irable. No childreu. " Wearied uuder the pressure of
the intirmities of old age, he longed to be absent from the body to be present
with the Lord. His wish is realized, and his happy soul has not one hope
unanswered." (Gravestone.)

appropriate, foreshadowing, as it were, the disposition of his life ; for, like

Smith, of Newton Theological Seminary.
" Sister, thou wast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When it floats amoug the trees.
Peaceful be thy sUent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shalt know. "

1637. Jonathan was in BiUerica, 1653. From him, or one of his
brothers, maj' have been descended
5. MosKS [7], and
6. Thomas (probablj^ brothers), both of whom were among the
first actual settlers in Sanbornton in 1764, and here passed the follow
ing winter, as their Petition to the Proprietors for aid, in view of
their present sufiTerings from lack of provisions, was dulj- considered
by the Proprietors in March, 1765 (see Gen. History). These two
"Danfords" are named first in official notice of the above Petition;
but before the Petition of Jan., 1768, Thomas seems to have returned,
as then the name of Moses ('' Danforth") only appears.
7. MosES [5] had m. Molly Flood, and settled on Lot No. 80, 2d
Div. (Site 1), on the Plains near the present Bay Road and the Dan
forth Brook. Their log-house, among the original Danforth apple-

for reburial, in the Hodgdon cemeterj-, the ball of which he used to
complain was found embedded in his collar-bone ! It first " hit the

in town. Some say he continued but two or three years at his flrst

house," not far from the present new school-house in district No. 12.
There he lived with his family of children and work-hands, numbering,
in all, twelve persons. The house used to be supported bj- shores, one
on each side of the outer door. It contained onlj- two small rooms,
and one stone chimney, with an oven in the back ! In this house he
lived for years, with only two iron vessels among his utensils, — a
pot and 'a skillet ! j-et he afterwards became one of the " wealthj-

THE EMERY FAMILY.
The Emerys of this town are descended from
1. John', who, from Romsej', England, was among the first set
tlers of Newbury, Mass., 1635 ; a carpenter; d. Nov. 3, 1683, ae. 85,
and hence b. in 1598. The line continues :
2. JohnS, b. 1629, also in England.
3, 4. John3, b. Sept. 12, 1656. JohnS b. Sept. 29, 1686 ; and
5. Moses^, b. 1715; m. Lydia Emery, dau. of Stephen. Of his
children two were early identiBed with Sanbornton, viz. :
6, 7. Josiah [8], b. May 17, 1747, O. S., and Michael [17], b. Aug. 1, 1764.

rison, Oct. 13, 1791 (Woodman). She had m., 1st, Woodman;
m.,2d. Samuel Morrison (near Tin Corner) . As his two oldest children
are said to have been born in Epping, he probablj- made a brief settle
ment there, his flrst on leaving Newburj', and did not reach Sanbornton
before 1774, though he was here in 1776 to sign the "Association
Test." He was the first to settle, and always lived on the present
farm of Rufus Howe, Lot No. 27, 2d Div. ; was an athletic raan, and is
said to bave " carried the ring" at wrestling on the day of the raising
of the flrst meeting-house. He never owned a wheeled vehicle, only
a sleigh in winter ; but possessed two saddle horses, and was himself
an expert rider. At one time he could ride and see at least six of
his children, all settled in Sanbornton with large families, in a single
day (now, 1878, only one grandchild and one great-grandchild of his
remain in the original town). He also made the journey on horseback
to Andover in 1806, to secure the services of Mr. Bodwell. His wife
was the first woman that ever rode in a wheeled carriage north of the
old meeting-house. Her father and mother had come to visit their chil
dren (Rev. Mr. Woodman and Mrs. E.), had spent Saturdaj- night at
Mr. W.'s, and on Sundaj-, after meeting, were about to repair to Mr.
Emery's, when the mother was afraid to ride with her husband, on
account of the roughness of the road, and he took in his daughter
(Mrs. Eraery) instead. He was received into the Congregational
Church, April 9, 1775, His narae often appears upon church and
town coramittees, and, being justice of the peace, he seems to have

TIIE GAGE FAMILY
Is of Norman extraction, deriving its descent from De Gaga, Ganga,
or Gage, who accompanied William the Conqueror into England, and
was afterwards rewarded with large grants of land. A line of seven
generations, from
1. John Gage, 1408, terminates with
2. John, Esq., oldest son of Sir Edward, who was knighted by
Qheen Mary. He was 30 years of age at his father's death, and heir
to fifteen manors in Sussex ; but surviving all his brothers, and leav
ing no issue, the estate descended to his nephew, the earliest known
ancestor in a direct line of the Gages of Sanbornton, viz. :

THE GALE FAMILIES.— Four Bkanches.— I.
The earliest ancestors of the Gale familj' in this country are believed
"to be the three following : —
1. Abraham, of Watertown, Mass., 1640 (the son of Richard),
who m. Sarah Fiske, and " had many children." Also :
2. Ambrose, of Marblehead, Mass., 1674, and one ofthe founders
of the church there, but previously of Salem, w-here his children were
baptized, as follows :
3, 4. Benjamin and Elizabeth, bap. May 17, 1663.
5, 6. Charity, bap. June 17, 1664. Ambrose, bap. 1665 ; and finally,
7. Baetholomew, a shipwright, who came from England to Boston.
Twelve of the name had graduated from New England. colleges in
1834. Branches II. and III. of the Sanbornton Gales are doubtless
each descended from one of the above, and so may be this [I.],
For, although,
8. John Gale, the earliest settler of the name in town, always
bore the sobriquet of " Dutchman Gale," and is hence supposed to have
been of Dutch descent, yet more reliable information has since proved
that he was uot a Dutchman by race, but merely came from New
York to Exeter. His father, or earlier progenitor, may, therefore,
have belonged to one of tbe afore-mentioned families, and eraio-rated
frora New England to New Tork, whence he returned, and married
Susan McCarty, in Exeter. (Of her father there is the followino-

romantic legend among her descendants in this vicinity : that he was
sent from Ireland when a little boy, by bis aunt, who wished to secure
a large property which he was to have inherited. His parents had
died, and she consigned him to a sea-captain, to be taken to parts un
known. He was finally left at Exeter, " where he had ra.. and could
not return," when his aunt, having learned of his destination, repented
on her death-bed, and sent for him !) He [8] was in town before
1768 (see "Petition"), and by " Returns of Roads," in 1771-72,
seems to have been living at first in the southwest part ofthe town, in
the vicinity of tbe Winnipiseogee and John Clark's, on Lot 69, 2d Div.

THE GIBSON FAMILY
Is said to be of English origin, and two brothers, Jaraes and John,
when coming to this countrj-, are said to have lost their father on the
passage. A doubtful legend is also related, that one of these brothers
from England married the daughter of a nobleman, against the will
of her parents, and that he was the father of Jeremiah Gibson, an
early settler of Canterbury. The name appears as " Gipson" on the
" Petition of 1768," which was signed by the oldest of the five broth
ers, who early gained possession of Lot No. 58, 2d Div., on which
Union Bridge village now stands, and gave their original name (" Gib
son's") to the falls below the Bridge. Only the two oldest and
youngest of these brothers can now be traced to any extent. It is
certain that their father did not settle here, though supposed, at first,
to have been the "John of 1768." Perhaps he was the "Jeremiah
of Canterburj-," above. The five brothers were :
1, 2. John [6]. James [10].

THE GILMAN FAMILIES. — Five or Six Branches.
Bjr the aid of Arthur Gilman's " Genealogy" (chieflj- of the John
Gilman family of Exeter) , we are enabled to trace most of the San
bornton families of this narae further back than anj- other familv in
town. The common ancestor is Edward^ of Caston, Norfolk, Eng.,
who was there m. to Rose Rysse, June 22, 1550. His will was dated
Feb. 5, 1573, devising his mansion-house in Caston to his eldest son,
John, and his other estates to flve daughters and three other sons, among
whom Robert^ was baptized at Caston, Julj' 10, 1559. His wife
Mary was there buried March 9, 1618, and he March 6, 1631. But
he had lived at Hingham, Eng , as his son Edward' was there b.,
probably 1587-8 ; m. Mary Clark, of (at) Hingham, June 3, 1614,

and became the emigrant ancestor of most who bear his name in the
United States. He had land granted to him by the Plymouth colony,
near Rehoboth, 1641, was at Ipswich, Mass,, 1647, but afterwards
went farther north with his sons, and d. June 22, 1681. His son,
Moses*, was baptized at Hingham, Eng., March 11, 1630; ra. Eliz
abeth, dau. of William Hersie, Sen. ; was in Exeter with his father,
Majr 10, 1652 ; received grant of land in that part of E. which is now
New Market ; was frequentlj- selectman, and in 1694 was succeeded
in that oflSce by his son, Moses, Jr. ; took an active and soraewhat
leading part in town affairs, and d. in 1702, as his will was proved
Aug. 6 of that J-ear. His branch is hence called the " New Market
branch'' of the Gilmans (as distinguished from the "Exeter" and
other branches) , and to this the Sanbornton families mostly belong.

326 HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
THE HARPER P'AMILY.
1. William Harper's name flrst appears upon the town records as
"Capt."W. H., chosen "representative 1785," and Wm. IL, Esq.
(as ever after), "constable 1786" He came from Deerfield some
time previouslj' to the former year, where he had flrst settled, having
m. Mary Lane, dau. of John*, and sister of the Lane brothers who
settled in this town. Of his parentage nothing is known, save that
his mother was a Scribner, and that the " old Mr. Harper, who dj-ed"
here Ang. 25, 1790, was probably his father. He is presumed to
have been descended from Joseph Harper, an earlj- resident of Hrain-
tree, Mass. One of his sisters, Anna, b. April 3. 1750, had m. David
Bean {see p. 28 [4]) ; another, Elizabeth, m., 1st, a Smith, in Raj'-
mond, or Candia (father of Nathan, in this town) ; ra., 2d, Asaliel
Quiraby (see) ; m., 3d, Dea. Ebenezer Colbj- (see p. 171 [117]) ; and
m., 4th, Benjamin Robinson, the father of Benjarain, Jr. (Calef Hill).
He bought out Josiah Sanborn, on the hill above the flrst raeeting-
house, and became an extensive landholder in other parts ofthe town.
He also took a prominent part in all jjublic affairs in town, as
being its onlj- lawj-er, and built one of the flnest houses of that
day, now owned bj- Mr. Chesley, indulging a little rivalry with Mr.
George C. Ward, which resulted in the third story upon the latter's
house at tbe lower end of the viUage !
In 1 788 he was chosen delegate from Sanbornton to the convention
held in Kxeter and Concord for adopting the new Constitution of the
United States. Suspicions were entertained that he would oppose it,
and the friends of the Constitution in town " endeavored, bj- all the
powers of persuasion they could command, to induce him to change
his purpose." He contended that "the powers conferred upon the
general government were too great ; that the abundant patronage con
ferred upon some, and the independent tenure of office upon other
departments, would tend to consolidation, and lead to the exercise of
tyranny and oppression." It was rumored that Esq. Harper was
among the four or flve members -of the convention for whom a strat
agem was planned to detain them from the flnal vote ; but it did not
succeed in his case, for bis vote was among the 47 given against the
Constitution, though, happily, with 57 in its favor ! He was thought
to be entirely sincere in his convictions, and by his action in this mat
ter seems not to have lost his popularity among his fellovi'-citizens, as
he was elected sole representative of the town from 1791 to 1800,
continiiouslj-, and three times moderator of town meeling, 1792-96.
He d. Dec. 31, 1809 ; his wife had d. June 18, 1806 ; his mother, as
" Widow Harper," d, in this town, April 6, 1803. Children :

THE HERSEY FAMILY.
The first ancestor of the Sanborntou Hersej's in this country was
doubtless William, of Hingham, Mass., 1635 ; admitted freeman, 1638,
and member of the artillery company, 1652. Had a son William ; m.,
1656. Name also written on the Hingham records " Hersie," " Har-
sie," and " Hearsej-." One of this family early moved from Hing
ham to that part of Exeter which is now New Market, having first
explored the countrj- for the purpose of cutting ash and oak timber, as
he was a carpenter or cooper. He afterwai'ds took up land, and set-

tied there, in corapany with the fatber or grandfather of Nathaniel
Burlej' (see). His immediate descendant (probablj' grandson) was:
1. James' HersIsy, of New Market, who ra. Jemima Burlej-, a
sister of Nathaniel and his brothers, who moved to Sanbornton {see
p. 58 [7|]). He met with an accident which resulted in the loss of
his leg, and afterwards of his propertj', so that he was unable to com
plete the education of his sons, as he had commenced with the oldest.
His children were all b. in New Market, one of whom he followed to
S., and here d., April 27, 1804. Children :
2. James [12], b. Jan. (?), 1740 (?).
3. Jonathan, b. June(?), 1747 (?) ; settled in Wolfeborough; m. ¦
Fox. Eight sons, two daughters.
4. Josiah [23], b. Nov. 20, 1748.
5. Jemima, b. 1750 (?) ; ra. to John Piper, of Wolfeborough, by Rev. Mr.
Woodman, Jan. 20, 1783, and settled in W. Six sons, four daughters.
0. William [30], b. 1752.
7. Molley, b 1755 (?); m. WilUam Shores, Feb. 25, 1799 (Crockett);
lived in Sanbornton; but had no chUdren (?).
8. Peter [40], b. Sept. 7, 1758, 0. S.
9. Jacob, b, 1702 (?); settled where Amos K. Hersey now Uves (1880);
was the flrst person drowned in Sanbornton Little Bay, at Hersey's Cove,
Aug. 19, 1790, ae. 34 (see p. 61 [33]).
10. Elizabeth (Betsey), b. 1704 (?) ; m. Nicholas GUes, Sen., 2d wife (see
p. 302 [1]).
11. John, b. 1700 (?) ; began to iraprove a lot in what is now (1877)
Charles W. Colby's pasture; was deranged in mind, and relinquished his land
to his brother James ; d., ae. 00 (?).
12. James^ [2] (James'), was a survej'or, and was early employed
by the last provincial governor, John Wentworth, to run a line from
Portsmouth to Quebec, as also to survey the town of Stewartstown,
N. H. On his way back, he called to visit his uncle Nathaniel Burley,
and being pleased with the countrj-, he negotiated with the grantees,
or others, for a large section of land, on several different lots, between
Burley's (or Calef) Hill and the Bridge, especially on Lots 55 and 56,
1st, and 65 and 75, 2d Divs. In this way he " took it up." There
is some undue embellishment upon this subject in the Merrimack
Journal of Aug. 22, 1873. The river lots were not then considered
the most valuable ; and though Esq. Hersey may not have secured his
right and title to Lot No. 75, 2d Div., or some portion of it, till after
the Revolutionary war commenced, and though he may have ridden a
fine horse to Portsmouth, as there Thomas Packer, Esq., Masonian pro
prietor of said lot, resided, and though he may " have left the horse as
the consideration " for a deed of the lot brought back, yet it is quite cer
tain that Gov. Wentworth had nothing directly to do with this transac
tion. It is, however, confidently affirmed by his descendants, that "one
of the last acts of Gov. Wentworth, when o n board a vessel at Ports-
GENEALOGIES. — HERSEY. 339
mouth, and ready to sail for England, on account of his adhesion to
Tory principles, was to sign a deed from the Crown, to Mr Hersey,
of land in Sanbornton" ! Also that, as king's surveyor, he laid out
several of the original towns of the State, and made the first survey
of Lake Winnipiseogee and its islands previous to the Revolutionary
war, naming many of them, — Bear Island, for instance, " from the
fact that making its survey in the spring of the year, when the ice was
thin, a bear was killed while trying to escape ''
He finally settled where now Gideon Piper (1880) lives, near the
Seminary buildiugs, in Tilton, and, from his land farther back, sup
plied his brothers with homesteads. For manj' years he was a prom
inent man in Sanbornton, as justice of the peace and survej-or, both
making out deeds and running out lines for the farmers. Legal doc
uments are now shown, drawn up by hira as late as 1796, with great
accuracj-. He also survej-ed a good deal out of town. He was an
earnest friend of education. He first welcomed Jacob Knapp, the
" .strii^ling teacher," to town ; and Dudley Leavitt boarded at his house
while teaching at the Bridge, who also was assisted by Esq. Hersej- in
making out his flrst almanac ! He was m. to Elizabeth, dau. of Wil

brother of Major Barnard^ [60], being the oldest child of Capt. John*
and Sarah (Barnard) Hoyt, he being the oldest child of Lieut. Thomas^

est child was :
123 Nabby (AbigaU), b. May 10, 1765, in Amesbury; m. Robert Hunkins

THE HUNKINS FAMILY. — Three Branches.
The earliest ancestor of the Sanbornton Hunkins families as j'et
ascertained was :
1. Robert* Hunkings, Sen., probably of Haverhill, Mass,, who was
b., according to tradition, 1679, and d. 1769, ae, 90. He was married
to Abiah Page, May 1, 1706. (Whether connected with John Hunk-
ing, of Portsmouth, 1650, who came about that time from Eno-land, or
with William, of Providence, R. I., 1641, does not appear. Mark
Hunking, Esq., one ofthe Council, under Gov. John Wentworth, 1726,
Province of N. H., was probably descended frora the former.)

though he could not have tarried there long, as his name does not
appear in the " History of Concord." There is also good evidence

Mass., before that. He settled in the "Hunt neighborhood," now

He painted, some years ago, the full-length picture of Washington,
now in the Representative Hall at Concord, as a gift to his native
State ; also one of Pius IX., while at Rome, which is pronounced one
of the best and most accurate representations of that pontiff on this

his profession with all the spirit and inspiration belonging to high art,

genius is capable of imparting. Iu his special line of portraits he had
few superiors." (Frora P'orney's Washington Chronicle.) His health
for many years had not permitted him to pass his winters North ; and

THE JOHNSON FAMILY.
There were numerous original ancestors bearing this name in the
country, and flfty-two had graduated at New England and New Jersey
colleges in 1828.
1. John Johnson, the flrst of the name in Sanbornton, came very
early to town from Epping, — one account says, " with the third com
pany of settlers " He was b. in 1740, and had been " 'a Revolutionary
soldier frora Epping," which service must have been confined to the
campaign of 1775, as he was here to sign the " Test " in 1776. Hence,
too, his arrival in town is determined as not earlier than the fall of
1775. He settled on the Johnson lot. No. 4, 1st Div., near the late
Phinehas Sanborn's ; was a joiner ; m., 1st, Abigail Morrison, dau. of
Bradbury, Sen. (see), who d. 1777, ae. 32; m., 2d, Mary (Mollj-)
Smith, April 23, 1778 (Woodman's flrst on the t. r.). She was the
dan. of Elisha Smith, Sen., and d. Sept. 12(21), 1826, ae. 64 — 8.
He had d. the previous year, Maj- 24, 1825, ae. 85. Nineteen chil
dren are traditionally assigned to him, one or two of whom " d. verj-
J-oung, without names." His fifth was said to be Hannah, but Mrs.
Brawn [11], his only surviving child in 1877, then affirmed that she
never had a sister bj' that name. The list of his children, therefore,
reduces to seventeen, not found upon the t. r. or elsewhere, as follows :
2. Benjamin, b. 1764, in Epping; was a Revolutionary soldier from this
town, 1781 and 1782 (see Lists) ; ra. Abigail Sanborn, daughter of Josiah,
July 27, 1786 (Woodraan), who d. April 10, 1802, in her 32d year; lived in

tor of the farailj' in this town, though his narae, title, oflfenee, or pur

(We give a more extended sketch of his military career which has
come to hand, partlj' as a specimen of what niight be assigned to
other heroes in the late war among the "sons of Sanbornton ") He
had been au overseer in tbe Atlantic Mills, Lawrence, Mass., and
enlisted as 1st lieutenant in Co. F, 1st Mass, Heavy Artillerj', early
in 1861, having been largely instrumental in raising this as one of the
first companies of three years' men. Promoted to the captaincy of the
same companj-, he was continnallj- with his regiraent, and justly
regarded as one of the most fearless of its oflScers, till June 22, 1864,
when he fell, before Petersburg, Va., in his 43d j-ear, a ball entering his
brain from a rebel sharpshooter, while he was flghting- with his men, as
he was accustomed to work at the guns as well as carrj' a sword ! As

rence. The history of the war furnishes no better record of bravery
and self-sacrifice. He was always happj-, hopeful, and confident dur
ing the dark hours of the campaign, and proud of his companj', while
his regiment were proud of him. He never required his men to go
where he was not willing to lead, — marching, fighting, suffering with
them. But four days before his death, while in charge of a skirmish,
line, and obliged to fall back from lack of support, he took three of
his wounded men that were unable to move, one by one, on his back,
and carried them over " that plain of death" to the breastworks, where
thej- were safe. It was this care of his men that endeared him to
their hearts. In one of his last letters he said : ''I am in an honor
able service, and if occasion calls for it I raust lose my life as ea-y as
it would be to blow out a candle. I must obey my superior officers ;
I must lead mj- men ; I must fight when led against an enemy of my
countrj' or the blessed old flag, and I shall do it with a will." His
funeral was attended bj- a throng of people at the Citj- Hall, in Law
rence, in charge of the city government and the Masonic Order. Con
soling resolutions were afterwards passed by the Grecian and Tuscan
Lodges, with which he was connected, as '' a lasting and abiding rec
ognition of their appreciation of his many merits and noble qualities, ''

424 HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
12. Jacob N.s [7] (Isaac^, Nathaniel*, Isaac^, Johns, Williami),
had preceded his father to Sanbornton, having flrst commenced teach
ing in Loudon at 16. The next summer (1790) he again started, with
all his worldly goods tied up in a handkerchief, and after a weary walk
of four days, was guided by a kind Providence to a house in this town,
where he was engaged as a schoolmaster, began the next day, and taught
four years in different districts. Was regarded as the " stripling," but
the " favorite teacher" ; won the prize at a reading contest in Nonh-
fleld, at the raising ofthe meeting-house, over Masters Fuller, Clark, and
an Knghshman (the latter having a volume of Addison's " Cato," and
challenging the others) ; was accustomed to marshal his classes " with
out speaking a word, by giving slight taps of his ferule on the de.sk."
(/See his sketch under "Schools.") From his small wages — §6 per
month and board — he saved enough to buj- 50 acres of woodland,
on the 2d Div. school lot (as above), for his father, and personally
secured the clearing of 10 acres, bj- flre and axe. Afterwards fitting
for college at Andover, Mass., under Mark Newman, then principal,
he was graduated with honor at Harvard University, in 1802. He
studied divinity with Dr. Jedidiah Morse, of Charlestown, preached,
but never settled, on account of a weakness in the ej-es, and became a
distinguished raaster of boys' schools, in Salem, 1803-12, and at
Brighton and Jamaica Plain till 1822, when he retired to Walpole,
and there res'd. till his death, July 27, 1868, in his 95th j-ear. He m.

THE MORGAN FAMILY.
1. Benjamin' Morgan must have moved to this town about 1778,
as the next j-ear he was first appointed highway surveyor. He came
from Greenland, in company with Nathaniel Grant, and settled east
of the latter, where now John Wallis (No, 80, " add." 2d Div.), locat
ing his son [15] still further east, on the present Bowers place.
His usual title was " Left.," being a lieutenant, possiblj-, in the
Revolutionary service. His parents and brother may have settled
here with him, as it is difflcult otherwise to account for the " Mr.
Mogane" who d. "Oct. 21, 18u0," or the "Widow Morgain," wlio
d. "April 13, 1803," or " Jonatlian Morgain," whod. "Jan. 8, 1804."
His wife d. Jan. 26, 1807, and he, " Lieutenant," d. Aug. 29, same
J'ear. Another brother,
2. Reuben, is known to have settled in Meredith (now Laconia),
where he d., and his sister may have been,
3. Joanna, who was b. May 3, 1749, at Brentwood, and m. John
Brj'er. His children bore the following names, though the order may
not be correct :
4. Jacob (the oldest), went to Vermont and Ohio.
5. Stephen, ra. Anna Gibson, dau. of James (see p, 300 [11]), Nov. 16,

THE MORRISON FAMILY.
The Morrisons of Sanbornton, like those of Londonderrj-, Peterbor
ough, etc., are probablj- of that noble Scotch race who had settled for
con.science' sake in the North of Ireland, and were driven under the
walls of Londonderrj', in the famous siege of 1688-89. This accord
ing to one supposition,* and if correct,
* According to another, sugsested by Hon. Charles R. Morrison, of Manchester,
Daniell Morrison, of Newbury, Mass., who d. Oct, 9, 1700, and his wife Hanuah,
may have been the parents of Johu^ [4], their childreu being:
1, 2. Daniel, b. Aug. 6, 1691. John [4 ?], b. March 28, 1693.
3, 4. Hannah, h. Jan. 27, 1696. Ebenezer, b. Oct. 6, 1697.

(Coffin's "History ol Newbury.")
The Hon G. W. Nesmith remarks that he found the Scotch accent of the Sanboru-
494 HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
1. DavidI Morrison is their earliest supposed ancestor in this
country, and is traditionally said to have first come " to some of the
British colonies further south thau Massachusetts," but " time of land
ing unknown." We know that 6,000 of the Scotch-Irish had landed in
Pennsylvania bj' the year 1729, and that one stream of these " immi.
grants had moved into Virginia and North Carolina,'' of which the
Jackson family ; j'et the fact of this ancestor's being found in Haver
hill, Mass., would seem to imply that he ruaj' have been among those
first immigrants of the same race who landed in Boston about 1718,
and separated to Lunenburg, Casco Bay, and other localities. The
companj' who thus went to Maine, not liking the country, came back
to Haverhill, and the men there left their families, while they went to
explore "Nutfield," afterwards Londonderrj'. It seems, therefore,
not impossible that the said David^ may have remained in Haverhill,
from this company, being, perhaps, the brother of that
2. John' (Samuel) Morrison, whose five sons were of the same
companj-, and all settled in Londonderry.
3. JoHN^, b. 1678, the oldest of the five, was afterwards in Peter
borough, where he d., June 14, 1776, ae. 98 {see Smith's " History of
Peterborough"). He, David' [1], also had a son,
4. John*, who could not have been born in Haverhill, as some
have affirmed, if his familj-, and the time of its coming to this country,
are rightly given above, but probablj' in Ireland, like his supposed
cousin [3]. His wife, however, Lydia Robinson, may have been b. in
Haverhill, and they both there lived and d., himself in 1765 or '66.
For the order, names, and number of their children, we are indebted
to the " Morrison Book," being a manuscript record, especially of the
descendants of Bradburj' [IW], as also of the " Morrison meetings "
{see beyond). Besides the eleven following, there was a daughter,
name not given, who never married :
5. Bradbury [16J.
6. John, settled in Candia; had there a large faraily. A branch of the
Sanbornton Dearborns (Tin Corner) is said to have descended from hini.
7. Jonathan, d. young, without chUdren.
8. Daniel, settled in Gilmanton, and left several children, some of whose
descendants may be found in Wolfeborough.

argue the earlier origin. But the testimony' of older meniher.-i of the family in San
bornton is so decisive as to the correctness ol the main supposition of the text above,
that we see no reason to chniise it. A very valuable general " History" of the Mor

THE PHILBRICK OR PHILBROOK FAMILIES.
Three Branches. — I.
The name is spelled " Philbrook" by some of the branches in San
bornton, who stronglj- urge that as original and correct ; others insist
as strenuously upon " Philbrick," which has more authority from the
old records.
1. Thomas' was doubtless the immigrant ancestor of the Sanborn
ton Philbricks, at Hampton. His wife's narae was Elizabeth ; " was
m. and had children grown when he came to this country," from Lan
cashire, with Saltonstall, to Naumkeag (Salem) ; then to Watertown,
and finally to Hampton, as above. His will was made March, 1664 ;
"proved 8, 8, 1667" {i. e., Aug. 8). Of his sons.

years and ten he lived alone, being widely known as the " hermit of Meredith
HUL" He coraraenced his career at the age of 21, by buying seven acres of

land at the foot ofthe hill, not far from the Fox place. Here he built his first
house, in a solitary forest, with a massive bank wall extending towards- a
brook, and all with his own bauds. The deep circular cellar Is still seen
unimpaired (1878), and the identical ladder with which he used to descend, iu
partial preservation. The great freshet of 1826 overflowed his premises, and
so alarmed him that he rem, three fourths of a mile to a larger tract of wild
land, forty-three acres, which he had purchased, where he rebuilt his house,
more in the heart of the forest, but near the Saubornt m line, and there con
tinued till his detith, Dec. 3, 1863, as. 89—1. His epitaph reads: "Content
with seeking happiness for hiraself ouly, he lived in seclusion ; he died alone.
Peace to his ashes, and rest to his soul." And yet he contributed greatly to
the entertainraent of thousands of visitors, during his last thirty or forty
years, discoursing intelligently with theological students upon Bible themes,
and weighing all the ladies by a simple contrivance of his own invention !
Pages raight be added of curious and interesting facts respecting himself and
his surroundings. To Sanbornton Square he was accustomed to come for
purposes of trade, driving a solitary steer, i-elned by the horus ! He left
property to the value of §2,200, u'lth money secreted in various places about
his premises, which was divided among his thirty nephews and nieces. It
was the greatest grief of his old age tlmt his domain should be invaded by the
building ofthe new Meredith Boad from North Sanbornton, and the foUovving,
araong other lines of coraplaint, were In part suggested by this afl'air :
"Iron stoves and wooden clock ¦*,
Awful storms and dismal shocks,
Railroads and turnpikes through the land.
Forebode destruction near at hand."

THE PRESCOTT FAMILY.
The very elaborate and valuable genealogy of the Prescott name in
this countrj-, bj- the late Dr. William Prescott, of Concord, leaves
nothing to be desired by waj- of ancestral information. The Prescotts
of this part of New Hampshire are there shown to be descended from
1. James', of Hampton, who there settled from Lincolnshire, Eng.,
in 1665. Confining ourselves to those branches which were more or
less intimately connected with Sanbornton, we comraence with
2. Samuel^ (James, Jr. 2, James'), b. March 14, 1697, who m.
Mary^ Sanborn (Joseph^, John^, John'), and lived at Hampton Falls.

600 HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
THE ROBINSON FAMILIES. — Three Branches. — I.
Tbe surname Robinson, with its cognate Robertson, has been a very
common one on both sides of the Atlantic, and any attempt to trace
all the Eobinsons of America to " Pastor John," of earlj- Puritan
memorj-, must prove unavailing. Exeter seems to have been the hive
of two of the three distinct families of the name identified wilh San
bornton (Branches I. and III.), and perhaps, originallj-, of the third
(Branch II,). Three ofthe name were also " grantees," Jonathan,
Sen. and Jr,, and Josiah, all of Exeter. Onr early settlers, Benjamin
(I.) and John (IH.) maj' have been related to them, but the fewness
or entire absence of Jonathans and Josiahs in the families of these set
tlers, and the fact that none of them settled right upon, though some
quite near, the lots granted, serve to make this connection a matter
of uncertainty.
1. Benjamin Robinson, Sen., is supposed to have come from Ex
eter at the same time with his son [3], with whom he settled. His
first wife here d., March 14, 1798, and he m., 2d, Mrs. Elizabeth,
widow of Dea. Ebenezer Colbj- (seep. 171 [117]), her fourth husband,

6. Levi^ [2] (Benjamin^) , carae " originally frora Exeter," and

united with the Congregational Church, on profession of faith. He
located east of Hunkins's Pond (Lot No. 8, 1st Div., Site 1), and
afterwards joined the same church, being baptized " bj- immersion, by
Eev. Mr. Woodman" (probalJy in said pond), Nov. 22, 1791. This
was the occasion of a sermon by Mr. W. on " Christian Charity," etc.,
which was afterwards printed. He rera. early to New Harapton. Was

advance the cause of his Master," and "cheerfully contributing toward the
support of the Gospel without regard to denorainational preferences." Yet
" working with the Baptist Church, in Montpelier, from its infancy, he sub
scribed the first th msaud dollars for their house of worship. His last few
years he had beeu wasting away under a painful disease ; but the Saviour's
everlasting arm was around him, and the 'Sweet Bye and Bye,' which he
last heard on earth. Is doubtless realized in heaven." ChUdren: — 1. Delora

THE EOLLINS FAMILIES. — Thkee Branches. —I.
Judging frora the number of this name — no fewer than nine —
araong the grantees, our town raight originally have been called "Rol-
linstown," next on the score of proprietj- after " Sanborntown." We
first give a list of those proprietors, who, with their successors settled
iu town, were probably all descended frora Jaraes^ Eolhns, or Raw
lins, of Dover (1644-91). The " Rollins Genealogy" has essentially
aided us in the work of identifj-ing and tracing the following grautees,
to whose naraes are first appended their nuraber or order on the original
petition of 1748, and then the numbers of the lots, first and second
divisions, drawn bj- each :
1. Jonathan^ (Moses^, Thomas^, James'), No. 44 on Petition,
Lots Nos. 8 and 69 ; was b. Jan. 19, 1703 ; lived in Strathara, and
there d., Nov. 19, 1797, in his 95th year.
2. Josiah^ (Benjamin^, Thomas^, Jaraes'), No, 48, P., Lots 74
and 48 ; of Exeter ; carried provisions to scouting partj- and garrison
at Canterburj-, in 1746.
3. Aaron, of Exeter {see [IIL, 66]), No. 2, P., Lots 78 and 46.
4. Joseph^ (Joseph^, Thoraas^, Jaraes'), of Exeter; No. 33, P.,
Lots 12 and 52 ; was doubtless the father of [9], and through his in
fluence his son's name may have gone on to the original list, though
under age (see [9]).
5. Joshua^, of Stratham, was probably brother of the last [4], No.
55, P., Lots 65 and 65. (Same nuraber of lot in each division.)
6. Thomas-'' (Thoraas^, Jaraes'), No. 7, P., Lots 24 and 37; was
b. July 14, 1671 ; the oldest of the Robins grantees ; was a lieutenant
of Strathara ; seven children (1st wife); m., 2d, Sarah, widow of
John Sanborn, 1731 ; d. prior to (will proved) Dec. 29, 1756. His
2d Div. Lot settled by his grand-nephew (see [42]).
GENEALOGIES . — EOLLINS . 611
7. Caleb-*, oldest child of the last. No. 20, P., Lots 15 and 27 ;
lived in Stratham; birth unknown; d. about 1785.
8. John, of Exeter, No. 36, P., Lots 81 and 44, cannot be cer
tainly identified with any of the nuraerous Johns descended frora
James'. May be connected with the familj- of Nicholas Eollins, of
Newburj', Mass., his oldest son John being b. Dec. 1, 1680, and re
siding in Exeter, 1702-9, and possiblj- afterwards. He m. Marj-
Thomas, of E., Oct. 9, 1702.

48 and 30, is here introduced as the ninth and last of the EoUins
grantees ; also as the first or head of farailj- for Branch I. among the
settlers of that name. He was b. Oct. 4, 1729, son of [4] (see), and
though but 19, in Oct., 1748, yet his name appears on the earliest List,
and he was hence oue of the grantees of Sanbornton, as above. He
res'd. in Exeter ; was a soldier in the old French war, Capt. Jona.
Parsons's corapany, at Fort Edward, July 26, 1756, and is supposed

No other name is so largelj- or
more honorablj- represented, either
among the original grantees, the flrst
settlers, or the subsequent inhabit
ants of the town which has appro-
priatelj' received therefrom its des
ignation of Sanbornton. Authorities
have differed as to the etj-mology,
and formerlj-, among the fathers of
our town, as to the spelling of the
word ; whether " Sandborn," indicat
ing a pristine residence upon a sandy
shore, or " Samborn," from a pari.sh
or hamlet of that name in England.
It is, however, agreed that the origi

622 HISTORY OF SANBOBNTON.
1. John^ Sanborn, was b. about 1600; m. the dau. of Eev. Ste
phen Bachilor, and lived and d. in Derbj'shire, England. His widow,
with her father and three sons, afterwards came to this country, landed
at Boston in 1632; proceeded to Lj-nn, Mass., thence to Newbury,,
and, in 1638, to the old Harapton Colony of our State, where the
grandfather, though over 70 j-ears of age, remained a few years as the
flrst pastor, with Eev. Tiraothj- Dalton as teacher, and returning to
England, there d., at the age of 100. The three sons of [1] were :
2. JoHN^, b. 1620 (?); was a lieutenant, and many j-ears a
selectman and representative to the General Court, frora Hampton ;
m., 1st, Marj- Tucke ; ra., 2d, Widow Margaret Moulton, and d.
Oct. 20, 1692, ae. 72. Eleven children, seven sons. (His descend
ants, as traced in Sanbornton and elsewhere, are said to be of the
John branch.)
3. William^, Esq., b. about 1622; m. Mary Moulton; was also
selectman and representative of Hampton, and there d., Sept. 18,
1692, a month before his brother, ae. 70. Six children, four sons.
(His descendants constitute the Esq. WilHam branch.)
4. Stephen, the third brother, is supposed to have returned to
England with his grandfather Bachilor.
We propose, in this genealogj-, to trace those of the descendants of
[2] and [3], so far as possible, who were connected with our town, or
whose lines have been projected through it. The race has ever proved
a solid and reliable one, " contributing their full proportion to the bone
and muscle as well as the intelligence, enterprise," and moral worth of
this Sanbornton coraniunitj-, not less than ofthe parent colony of Hamp
ton, We must despair of embrac'ug all these descendants, even witliin
the limits proposed, for as earlj' as 1809 there were said to be sixty fam
ilies bj- the narae of Sanborn in the town. No fewer than 120 bearing
the name have been enrolled as members of the Central Congregational
Church, and it is presumed that the other church registers in town would
show a similar record. We shall flrst enter the names, and, as far as
needful for our purpose, the immediate families ofthe twelve Sanborus
among the original petitioners of 1748, who were afterwards grantees
of the town, following the two branches in genealogical order. (In
establishing the pedigrees, much assistance has been derived from the
" Sanborn Genealogj'," pamphlet edition, by Dr, Nathan Sanborn
[431], of Henniker, which also suppHes the foregoing coat of arras.)

son of Ens. John*, b. March 4 (15), 1712. He was a man of promi
nence in Hampton, being town clerk, selectman, and sheriff of the
countj- for many years. By trade he was a bookbinder, as well as
tanner and shoemaker. A venerable tome, one of the flrst editions of
" Calvin's Institutes" ever published in English, is now in the family
of Deacon A. B Sanborn [411], which was left with this great-grand
father, just before his death, to be rebound. But it was never called
for, and bence has descended, still unbound, as an heirloom. He was
also a commissioned officer in the old French war, under George III. ;
was a man of powerful frame ; could fearlessly cower down all insults
and violent attempts from such as would seek in private to satisfj- their
grudges against hira for his public acts as a sheriff! He m Ruth^

1753. " He was a man of abilitj- and influence ; represented the town
of Hampton manj- j'ears in the provincial government," and was the
intimate friend of Gov. B. Wentworth. His age and experience gave
him the first place among the grantees, so th.it he was naturally dele
gated to obtain, from the Masonian heirs, the grant of the town of
Sanbornton, Dec. 31, 1748 (see Proprietary History). Through the
lines of both his oldest and j'Oungest children, as below, he appears as
the immediate progenitor of a larger number of the Sanborus, and of
the inhabitants of Sanbornton, than any other raan ; and the town is
thought to have been named in the honor of himself more than of any
other individual. Children :

79. Daniel^, Jr. [9] (Daniel^, John*, Richard', etc.) . If, as gener-
allj' supposed, this was the Daniel, Jr., of Hampton, grantee, he was
sixth on the " Petition" — name following that of his father, though
he could not have been but 1 7 J j'ears of age when he signed — and
drew Lots 28 and 10. Should this be questioned {see under [72]),
the honor of the granteeship must have fallen upon some other Daniel,
who was of age, in 1748, — perhaps upon [45], in case he hailed from
Hampton. It is now impossible to render the matter certain. He
[79] is known, however, to have been most closelj- identified with the
earliest settlement and historj- of the town. Being a j'oung man of
energy, and of a good education, he was chosen " survair," at the age
of 21, for the committee who laid out the 2d Div. of Lots (1752), and
thus became intimatelj' acquainted with the surface and topographj'
of the town. His name is also prominent in the other projects of the
proprietors connected with the flrst settlement, and he built the first
mill, in the spring of 1764. He had m. Lucj-, dau. of James and

as a family, is fixed bj' the birth date of their ninth child [88] , at the
early summer of 1766, though he had corae wilh some of his goods the
Februarj' preceding ; for it is affirmed that the horse which brought
Mrs. S. to town was " driven hard," in order that she might arrive at
his cousin Sergt. John Sanboi-n's [112], in season for the expected
event ! Meanwhile, he had gained possession of an excellent lot of
land (No. 14, 1st Div.) near the present Square, and previouslj- to
their arrival had partially built there the first house, which was after
wards enlarged into the tavern stand, so long a landmark, and of late
replaced by the present residence of Thomas M. Jaques. He also
originallj' owned much of the land on the lots adjoining, on the west,
and early had several of his children settled around him. Bj' Petition
of the Proprietors (see Gen. History), and also of the inhabitants, he
was commissioned bj' Gov. John Wentworth, in 1771, as the first jus

offices, he was the first clerk elected by the town, in 1771, and for

prepared to start for his new home, with his family, and a good work
man, earlj- in Feb., 1766. He always alleged that his cousin Daniel
[79] was expected to go in companj- with him, but when he arrived
at the " house" above mentioned, he found Daniel alreadj- there, hav
ing " passed him in the night," and perhaps having some claim upon
the establishment, for lumber furnished the season before. His second
child [114] was about a j-ear old, as commonly asserted, when they first
arrived in town. He was a benevolent, generous-hearted man. Peo
ple frora Northfield, Canterburj-, etc., would often stop at his house
as a place of free entertainment. He greatlj- encouraged other set
tlers, and especiallj' his four brothers, to follow him into town. He
was a raan of dignity and presence, full of dry humor (as illustrated
by an anecdote elsewhere). Served early as a magistrate, without
appointment, and, like all his brothers, " was a large, bulky man, a
valuable citizen, and made a good living." He had previously served
in the old French war. The absence of his name from the "Association
Test" in 1776 is explained bj- the fact that he was then in the Revolu
tionary service, though his name is also wanting on the Sanbornton
rolls ; yet he is known to have been " orderlj' sergeant" under Capt.
Jere. Clough. He was afterwards sick of camp disorder at Ticon
deroga, and a young neighbor of his, Enoch Ely bj' name (living where
now John P. Lane), verj- devotedly went for him, got hira home
safely, but was himself taken of tlie same disease, and died soon after.

ae 65 — 5, is from the lips of the venerable Capt. John B. Perkins. He
had started for a visit with friends (dau. and niece), two' miles north
east ofthe Square, on horseback, his wife having preceded in a wagon.
On level ground, in the valley west of Mr. P.'s, his horse stumbled,
and threw him by a partial somersault violently upon his back, ruptur
ing an internal vessel, as he was a very heavj- man. He remounted,
but could proceed no farther than Mr. Perkins's, where he took a bed,
from which be never rose. Great distress of bodj' ensued, but the
soul was calm and joyous The plan and purpose of God in bring
ing him thus to his appointed term of life were cheerfully descanted
upon. Though he had never been a man who could speak in public
of his religious experience, yet that shone verj' brightlj' at this tirae,
and his tongue was unloosed to declare it. He affirmed that those
last hours were the most happj- of his life, notwithstanding his pain ;
could not sleep at night, but was full of the high praises of his God
and Saviour ; expressed an earnest desire to see his beloved pastor,
the Rev. Abraham Bodwell, once more, who came to his bedside at 2
o'clock, A.M., and but a few moments before his faithfnl parishioner
" fell asleep in Jesus," the whole occasioning a scene and a night long

first came from Hampton to Sanbornton, autumn of 1778, and pur
chased two or three hundred acres above the confiuence of the two
rivers, at what is now Franklin Falls. The onlj- buildings then upon
the above-named tract of land were a small log-house, near the site of
the late N. H. Sanborn's, and a small saw-mill, north side of the
river, just east of the Sanborn Bridge (afterwards carried away by a
freshet), previously built and occupied by a Mr. Folsom. Contract

was entirely burned when nearlj- completed. A second building was

only boarded and shingled before winter, so that on moving his family
to town, Feb. 13, 1779, he was obliged to occupy the log-house for
sorae tirae. His family then consisted of wife, two daughters, and
seven sons. The first of their settleraent were j'ears of privation and
suffering, but brave hearts and willing hands soon turned the forest into
a fruitful field. He built a new saw-raill on the south side of the
river, parts of the basement sills of which were to be seen in 1872 ;
also a grist-mill, on a sinall island near the north shore of the river.
In 1798 his faraily was visited bj- a malignant fever, of wbich his wid
owed sister (?) d. Dec. 8, his wife Dec. 18, ae. 56 — 7, and his daugh
ter as below [170]. These afflictions were sanctified and borne with
Christian fortitude, hence he united with the Congregational Church at
the Square, June, 1799, and ever remained a faithful, consistent mem
ber, performing his weeklj' " Sabbath-day's journej' " of six railes, and
often on foot, to the sanctuary, with great regularitj*. In old age,
" without a staff, his hands folded behind," he would ascend our
" Hill of Zion." On one Thanksgiving day he is reraerabered to have
walked up the broad isle of the old raeeting-honse, " foUowed by his
ten sons in the order of their respective ages." His last j-ears were
spent with his son [172], opposite his old horaestead, in corafort ; but
a distressing accident, being run over bj' a span of horses aud loaded
sleigh, as he was walking out of a pleasant morning to visit the new fac
torj', then nearly completed, occasioned his death, in two or three days,
Feb. 13, 1823, in his 84th year, and on the 44th anniversarj- of his
arrival at Sanbornton with his family ! Six of his sons were settled
near him, and five of them on laud of the original purchase, given them
by their father. Eleven of his fourteen children were raarried, and in
1873, 57 out of 80 grandchildren were m., and 36 of these were living.

his two sons, now given, who both settled in this town. Yet as the
grantee, Josiah, Jr. (?), fiftj--seventh on " Petition," Lots 13 and 53,
was said to be of Exeter, he is more probably to be identified with
this man than with [73] (,'-ee). He could not, however, if his father's
oldest child, have been raore than 14 when he signed the original
" Petition," as the father was not married till 1733. Whether minors
might not have been admissible as petitioners, or even grantees (as
this one could have been only 19, in 1753, at the time of " drawing"),
is an open question. Seems likelj- in the case of " Daniel, Jr." {see
[79]). Expectations of approaching raanhood maj- have warranted
their reception upon the list. All the above is rendered doubtful by
recent discoveries to effect tbat the two following may have been the
children of [41] by his 2d wife. In either case,

res'd. after the year 1800. " Being a man of uncommon energy and
perseverance, and living in those early times when physicians were
few, his practice was very extensive, and he doubtless accomplished
more business in a given time than any phj'sician who ever succeeded
him in town. Seated upon his well-trained horse, who full well under
stood the energetic character of his rider, he dashed forward, deterred
neither bythe piercing cold or the raging elements; and, when the
snows of a Northern winter arrested the progress of his steed, he
would exchange the saddle for snow-shoes, and in this waj- visit distant
patients." On his winter journej-s thus to New Harapton, he early
discovered the present turnpike route, and predicted that a road would
some day be built through the valley. " By his energj-, promptness,
bold practice, and peculiar tact, he retained the principal business of
the place for a long series of j'ears, notwithstanding the eminent skill
and attainments of several other phj-sicians who settled here. But
age seemed to make a sudden inroad upon his mental faculties ; in
1833 he visited his last patient, and for some years previouslj' to his
death, Aug. 30, 1841, ae. 84 — 3, he experienced all the imbecilities of

* The interesting facts have heen supplied too late for entry in the text, above,
that she was the lineal descendant of Gen. Joseph Warren (M. D.), the hero of
Bunker Hill, and a daughter of Benjamin and Hanuah (Parker) Warren; that after
serving as matron in the Massachusetts State Almshouse, at Bridgewater, she
started, in 1857, a pioneer enterprise at Bailey's Harbor, Door County, Wis., one and
one half miles from Lake Michif;an, where she cleared a little farra, largely with her
own hands; was instrumental in starting the first school and Sunday schoul, and
taught successfuUy, at different times, for five ye.irs. " Une of the first fom- settlers
of this beautiful spot in the wilderness, she lived to see a prosperous and thriving
village opening up in her vicinity, and to know that her educating and refining influ
ence was an acknowledged element in its growth." Her death — April 20, 1880, iu
her 72d year — " was felt by the whole community as that of a personal friend," and
her attractive home still " stands as a monument to her industry and perseverance."

residence, which he held at 4 r m., after returning from his meeting,
himself being the only man in the neighborhood that could praj- in the
school, and with but one teacher who professed to be a Christian.
On closing his school for the second season, the last of Sept., 1820,

he made a verj- impressive address to the scholars, remarking upon
the probabilitj- that they might not all meet again in the spring. Deep
solemnity and a wonderful display of God's grace were soon manifest
among those children ; they held meetings for inquiry and Bible service
by themselves, especially during the illness of their superintendent,
which soon followed, and proved fatal, as above. " I am about to
reap the reward of my labors in the Sabbath school," were among his
last words to his physician, Dr. Hill ; and through all the succeeding
winter the meetings were kept up, attended by Mrs. Sanborn, and
occa'-ionallj' by Rev, Mr. Bodwell, and other ministers, resulting in the
coraraenceraent of manj- useful Christian lives, like that of [453], who,
after the lapse of sixty j-ears, comraunicates these facts. Children :

THE TAYLOR FAMILIES. — Two Branches.
No less than eighteen original ancestors are found, accoi'ding to
Savage, in this countrv prior to 1700, among whom are :
1. Anthony, of Hampton, 1638, and
2. Edward, of Lj-nn, Mass., 1639.
From one of these the Sanbornton families are probablj- derived,
unless the traditions of a later origin, as below, are assumed. Fifty-
three of the Taylor name had graduated at New England and New
York colleges in 1828. I.

in the mud " in the south edge of the town (near Bridge) , and to have
been " helped out " and up to the Square bj- John Sanborn ! Though
he drew, as grantee (forty-seventh on' the ''Petition" of 174'^), Lots
25 and 13, and still kept possession ofthe same, yet he had early pur
chased, in addition, the more eligible lot. No 38, 1st Div., and there
made his first improvements. He was a man of great phj-sical strength
and energj' of character, and took a prominent part in the early affairs
of the town, as well as in the Revolutionarj- struggle. He erected the
frame house, partiallj- consumed bj' fire the flrst spring, but still occu
pied by his great-grandson, Thomas W. [132], where the flrst towu
meeting was held after the incorporation of the town, in 1770, at which
he was chosen moderator, as several times afterwards. He also com
manded a company, raised bj' himself, in the Revolutionarj' war, Aug.,
1777, a portion of which belonged to Sanbornton. With this, he ar
rived at Bennington the evening before the battle, and took a conspic
uous part in that important engagement. He was wounded in the
early part ofthe battle, breaking his thigh, falling to the ground, but
" not knowing what hurt him " till he attempted to rise and '' found
his leg up in his face " ! {See, Revolutionarj- Historj'. ) In consequence
of this he received a pension for many years after the war, while enjoj--
ing the fruit of his toils upon his farm in Sanbornton, where he lived
to a good old age, latterly in the house more recently owned bj' Mr.
Walter Ingalls, and died, respected by all, Aug. 13, 1805, ae. 77 — 5.

his career as a Revolutionary soldier (the last of) April, 1775, wlien
less than 21 years of age {.iee Military Records) . Afler the campaign
of that J-ear, he joined Maj. Whitcomb's 1st Company of Independent
Rangers, whieh was stationed under Gen. St. Clair, at Ticonderoga,
in the summer of 1777. It was known that Gen. Burgoyne bad
arrived in Canada, and would prob:iblj- attempt a junction with the
British army of New York. On the 16th of June, Lieut. Taylor, with
twelve men under his command, was sent out to reconnoitre. Was
ordered to an elevated point 15 miles down the lake (Champlain) , whence
a view of it for twenty miles farther could be obtained. No approach
ofthe enemy being discovered, be started to return the next day, as
directed ; but, at 11 o'clock, fell into au ambuscade of sixtj- or a hun
dred Indians, near a creek since called " Taylor's Creek." The sav
ages, feeling sure of their victims, greeted them familiarly with " How
d'ye do, brothers?" but Lieut. Taylor, with remarkable coolness,
promptness, and self-possession, gave the order to " Fire ! " Recoil
ing, at flrst, thej' soon after r.allied. The fight became general.
Three of Taylor's men fell mortally wounded ; himself received what
he supposed would prove a fatal shot, in the shoulder. Ordering his
men, therefore, to escape (retreating to tlie lake shore), to sell their
lives as dearlj- as possible, and, if anj- reached the fort, to announce,
"All's well upon the lake!" he crept, faint and bleeding, into the
top of a large hemlock-tree which had lately fallen. Meanwhile, the
Indians as a bodj- had also retreated, perhaps concluding, from the
boldness of their defence, that a re-enforcement was near at band.
Some of tbe savages, however, venturing back for scalps or spoils,
stood upon and passed over the trunk of the very tree under the top of

day, perceiving no further tokens of their proximitj', he found his waj',
with great difficulty, from loss of blood, back to the fort, arriving
(according to Nathan Holt's deposition) '-just as the sunset gun was
fired." He received the warmest commendation from Gen. St. Clair,
while Capt. Hutchins, who had been sent out with one hundred men
*' to protect the scouting partj-," and had heard their guns without
pressing forward to their relief, was promptlj' cashiered for his coward
ice, and his command given to another.
On account of his wound — the ball having entered near the collar
bone and passed out below the shoulder-blade — Lieut. Taylor was un
able to resume dntj' for several months, and not till after the unfortunate
surrender of Ticonderoga, and the brilliant succession of events which
followed, till the capture of Burgoj-ne and his armj-, had all transpired.
He continued in the service till near the close of the war, ill health
alone compelling him to resign his commission and retire to his home
in Sanbornton but a few weeks before peace was declared. Here he
afterwards became " the pattern farmer of the town" ; was appointed
justice of the peace, Dec. 22, 1795, and thus continued, by six renew
als of commission, till his death ; was an adept in the art militarj',
and "• Division Inspector of the Militia," with the rank of " Brigade-
Major, April 5, 1793." In 1812 was one of the electors of President
and Vice-President of the United States for New Hampshire ; repre
sented his town for manj- j-ears in the State Legislature, and was a
member of the Council and of the Senate. In 1814 commanded a
company known as the " Ring Bone Company," in Sanbornton, com
posed mostlj' of Revolutionarj- veterans, and stood readj- again to
face the foe, if needed, and repel the invasion of the State.
" Possessed of great natural powers, a vivid imagination, a fund of
anecdote, a mind well stored with historical facts, and most afiable
and winning manners, his companj' was sought by all. His house
was always open, alike to the friend or the stranger, and his heart
and hand were alwaj-s readj' to administer of his ample substance to
the wants of the suffering or the needy. For manj- years he was a
prominent raember of the Congregational Church, and was Orthodox
in his religions sentiments, al\vaj-s contributing liberally to the various
charitable objects of the daj-. He is remembered as the ' model
Christian gentleman,' mucb resembling, in manners and appearance,
the great Washington, of whom he was the enthusiastic admirer.
With Dr. Franklin, he could saj' in the decline of life, that he could
look back upon his time with few things to regret, but many which
afforded him comfort and consolation. He contemplated and arranged
for bis own death with the utmost composure ; and having enjoyed

* The story has recently been made public in a county newspaper (of which we
here give a slightly changed and authentic version), that when the youthful Jonathan
M. Taylor [219] ccimmenced his career as a bliicksmith at the Square, Mr. T brought
his horse to him with chalk mar»s upon the hoofs, ordering very incisively that the
heels be paired down to such a point, and the toe-calks he made twice the usual
length! Soon after became again, requiring thai tlie operatiou be reversed, thus
" adding half a hand to the stature of the quadruped"! A week later the order
was; " 'Take these shoes ofE, divide them in the middle, ox style; cut down the calks,
and put them on, two on each foot." lu every case the order was promptly executed
without a word of remonstrance, or the least show of surprise. Finally the horse
was led to the shop with the direction, "Shoe my horse as you think right," in tone
and manner that signalled a truce! "Two h'ssons had been learned by two apt
pupils," one by the young blacksmith, that obedience to owners was .always go"d
liolicy ; the oiher by Mr. T. himself, " that he had found a man who interpreted cor-
reclly the purpose concealed in his siiig-ular demands."

THE THOMAS FAMILIES .— Three Branches.
There seem to have been three distinct branches of the Thomas fam

the name, is said to have been a great hunter, and accustomed to pass
his winters in the " upper countrj- " in that capacitj-. His first res

Square (Site No. 1, Lot 40, 1st Div.), now visible in depression of
the land overlooking the brook that has since gone bj- his name, —
"Thomas Brook." He located, second, just below the present John
Perkins place (Site 2, Lot 51, 1st Div,) ; thirdlj-, ou the old Aaron
Hill place (1774), towards Baj- Bridge ; his final home, in town, was
the late Capt Jacob Philbrick's, near tbe Baj-, above Union Bridge,
whence he rem. to Canada, and was last heard of as a " scout" (?)
(hunter) through the woods of Maine. Children:
2. Jonathan, Jr,, was corporal iu Capt. Jeremiah Clough's company, and

28, 1838. His dormant energies were forthwith aroused, and he
speedily began to displaj- those true qualities of a missionarj-, — a burn

to form the Harvard Street Baptist Church, Boston, with which he
proved a faithful worker, and continued connected for eleven years.

of twelve years' active evangelism, an association of sixtj- churches,
2,000 living members, seventy Karen preachers, niue of whom he or
dained himself, seventj' out-stations, and one normal and forty-five
primary schools. Early in 1867 he was assigned to the province of

THE TILTON FAMILIES. — P^oue Branches.
The Tilton name is probablj' of Massachusetts connection, as to its
immigrant ancestors, there being found three, brothers perhaps, from
England :
1. John, of Ljmn, in 1642 ;
2. William (see [144]), of Lynn, 1645 ; d. 1653, and
3. Peter, who was afterwards representative of Hadlej-, Mass.,
ten years, from 1665, and deacon of the church.*
At least seven of the name, doubtless descended from one or both
of the two first above, are known to have been at Ilampton Falls in
Feb., 1733 (Bouton's Provincial Papers, Vol. IX. p. 342), viz. :
4-7. Jethro, Jonathan, Joseph, 1st, Joseph, 2d. (One of the
two last being first selectman " of y" parish," in 1734.)
8-10. Josiah (see [144]), Samuel, and " Shdrbun."
Though tuere is no evidence that a Tilton was among the citizens of
Stratham at the incorporation ofthe town, in 1716, or in that town,
or what is now New Market, as late as 1746 ; yet from one of
those towns we must trace immediately our first Sanbornton familj'.
I.
11. Nathaniel Tilton was pi-obably a son of Samuel [9], but
though his name is so prominent in the earlj' history of the first
church in town, and after him, through his descendants, the southern
portion of the original town is now called, yet verj- few reliable
data respecting himself, his birth, his ancestrj', or his immediate fam
ily have J-et come to light. He is known to have rem. to Sanbornton
from Stratham or New Market, as above ; perhaps originallj-, and not
long previously, from Hampton or Kensington. He first settled, be
tween 1768 and 1771, on Lot No. 65, 2d Div. (south end), nearly a

seven to put his name to the original '' Church Covenant," Nov. 13,
1771, and was chosen the second deacon, " Jan'j' y° 2d, 1772."
He served the old church more than thirtj'-uine years, and Maj- 8,
1811, at the request of Deacon Tilton, it was " voted to excuse him
from performing the services of a deacon." His latest surviving
grandson [91] was taught by him "to say bis prayers" very early
in life, and received from him a strong impression of his being "a
godly man, and one verj- strict in keeping the Sabbath, to prevent
the desecration of which on the part of his grandchildren, he used to
tell them Bible stories." He m. Abigail Gilman, a relative (cousin?)

THE WALLIS OR WALLACE FAMILIES. — Three Branches.
The former orthographj' has prevailed in this town, and is claimed
bj- some to be the more authentic, even iu Scotland ; though history,
as connected with Sir William Wallace, the gaUant Scotch general,
who endeavored to rescue his countrj- from the English j-oke, but died
as a "traitor" in 1303, would favor the latter. John Wallis, an
eminent English mathematician, died in 1703, and Dr. George Wallis,
an English medical writer, poet, and satirist, died in 1802. The
ancestor of all bearing the name in Sanbornton was
1. GeokgeI, who came from Scotland in 1660, and settled in Rj'e,
near the so-called " Wallis Sands," having land conveyed to him by
deed, Nov. 16, 1660. His son,
2. William*^, was suddenlj- killed in Rj'e, bj* being thrown from a
load of hay.
3. William^, of the next generation, son of [2], rem. from Rye
to Northwood, where his son,
4. JouN^ [00], was b. July 23, 1777.

THE WOODMAN FAMILIES. — Three Branches.
Two brothers. Woodman, came from Malford, England, in the
" James," to Newbury, Mass., June, 1635. Of these.
GENEALOGIES. — WOODMAN. 85 1
1. Archelaus was a mercer; had m. 1st, Elizabeth , who
d. Dec. 17, 1677; m., 2d, Dorothy Chapman, Nov. 13, 1678, and d.
Oct. 7, 1702. He " left no children." His brother,
2. Ed-ward and family came same j-ear (as above) ; was one of
the fifteen (out of ninety-one grantees of Newbury) who bore the title
of " Mr." He was doubtless the common ancestor of all the San
bornton Woodmans, and we have this additional record, in pamphlet
list, of his descendants (1855) : "He was a man of influence, decision,
and energy, and opposed with great zeal the attempt made by the
Rev. Thomas Parker to change the mode of church government (in
Newbury) from the Congregational to something like the Presbyterian,
1669 and onward (see History of Newbury). He was deputy to the
General Court in 1636, 1637, 1639, and 1643 ; during several years
was one of the three commissioners, ' to end small causes,' in New
burj-, and at various times held other oflfices of profit and trust in town
and State. Among other commissions, he had one from the State ' to
see people marrj',' of whicb, in 1681, he thus speaks : ' An unprofit
able commission. I quickly laid aside the worke, which has cost me
many a bottle of sacke and liquor, where friends and acquaintances
have been concerned.' " He and his wife, Joanna, were living in Feb.,
1687-88. She was then 74, hence b. 1613. He d. prior to 1694 ; age
not known. His two oldest children were :
3. Edward, Jr. [5], b. 1628 ; came to this country, with his father,
when a little boj', as did also
4. John [60], the supposed ancestor ofthe Woodmans in the east
part of Sanbornton. We separate these two brothers, for convenience'
sake, into two branches : I.
5. Ed-ward, Jr.2 [3] (Edward"), m. Mary Goodridge, Dec. 20,
1653. Of his eleven children, the eighth, and the oldest, son, who
lived to groV up, was
6. Ed-«vard3, b. March 20, 1 670 ; m. Mary Sawyer, June 29, 1702.
Their second child and oldest son was
7. John*, b. Sept. 15, 1704 ; m, Anna Adams, of Ipswich, Mass.,
1723 ; 1725 also given, but the former more probable, from the fol
lowing children's births, all born in Newbury :
8, Sakah, b. June 2, 1724; in. Abiel Rogers, June 4, 1752; d., ae. over 90.

1767 ; lived in Haverhill, Mass.
17. Rebecca, b. July 10, 1746 ; m. Josiah Emery, of this town (see p. 269
[8]). 18. Joseph [19], b. Aug. 22 (Sept. 4), 1748 (besides one other daughter,
who ra. Bartlett).
19. Josephs ["igj (John*, Edward^, Edward, Jr.2, Edward^), was
educated at Nassau Hall, New Jersey, and received the honors of
that institution in 1766; m. Mrs, Esther (Whittemore) Hall, March
8, 1771, who was the widow of Jeremiah Ilall, and the dau. of Rev.
Aaron Whittemore, first Congregational minister of Pembroke, b. Aug.
13, 1752, her first husband having d. verj- soon after marriage. He
was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church and minister of the
town, Nov. 13, 1771, the church being the same day organized, and
continued in tbat relation for tbirtj--five j-ears, though compelled to
suspend his labors most of the time for the last two or three years on
account of ill-health. He was dismissed Nov. 13, 1806, and d , in
town, Sept. 28, 1807, ae. 59—1.
" The sweet remembrance of the just
Shal] flourish when they sleep iu dust."
She, as his " virtuous and amiable consort," had " cheerfullj- resigned
her departing spirit into the hands of Jesus,'' July 12, 1803, in her
51st J'ear. " Beloved in life, lamented in death."
(For the acts and proceedings ofthe town relative to the settlement
of Mr. A¥oodman, see General History, Vol. I.) It seems that the
frame of his house was not erected, with the town's assistance, till the
spring after his ordination, and that the house was not completed till
the autumn following. In the mean time he had negotiated with Esq.
Harper to exchange the 1st Division lot, which fell to him as first
minister ofthe town (No. 76, being rough and undesirable), for por
tions of Nos. 75 and 14, near the dividing line of which the house was
erected in 1772, which was to bear his honored name for more than
one hundred years. He had lived, meanwhile, on flrst coming to
town, at the Ely place, now J. P. Lane's, in Tilton. His 2d Div. lot.
No. 11, was retained, and near its southwest corner he built the Wood
man upper house, for renting (see Lots). It is traditionallj' reported
that he went out, " earlj- in the Revolutionarj- war. as chaplain, on a
short expedition, with soldiers from Sanbornton and vicinity." This,
if authentic, was probablj- for the Bennington campaign in 1777.
From Rev. Dr. Bodwell's Church Centeunial Address, we quote as
follows : —
GENEALOGIES. WOODMAN. 853
" He was a man of commanding personal appearance and dignified
bearing, and for talent and education took rank with the foremost
ministers of New Hampshire. He was of medium height, of a broad,
compact frame, with large head well set on ample shoulders, and
decidedly marked features. I have beard it said by men who knew
him, and who have passed away, that he had natural endowments
which would have fitted him admirably for the courts of law, or the
halls of legislation, if such had been his choice. The estimation in
which he was held by the town may be gathered from the fact that
at a special meeting, held Jan. 17, 1775, it was ' voted that the Rev.
Joseph Woodman be a deputj- for this town to join the deputies of the
other towns in this province, at a meeting to be held at Exeter on the
twenty-fifth day of this instant, to choose delegates for the Continen
tal Congress, and to choose a committee to proportion each town's
part of y" charge of sending delegates.' That he was held in high
respect beyond the limits of his own town, it is evident ; for we find that
on the third day of June, 1802, he preached to the governor of the
State (John Taylor Gilman) and his Council, with the Senate and
House of Representatives, in Concord, then a pleasant village, and
the discourse was published" (text, Hos. vii. 9). His discourse on
" Christian Charity and Candor,'' preached on the occasion of his
baptizing Mr. Levi Robinson, by immersion, Nov. 22, 1791, was also
published. Children :

race which came to this countrj- in 1719, and settled in Londonderry.
The name was originallj- written " McNult." At flrst a blacksmith,
he became, by the power of God's Spirit, operating upon the strict
Presbyterian training of his earlier j-ears, a valiant soldier of the
cross, and a most successful preacher of the Christian denomination.
In no less than nine difl'erent States, and two of the neighboring prov
inces, did he lab;)r. Between 1,000 and 2,000 were baptized bj- his
own hands. The scene of his most effective labors was in the Province
of New Brunswick, where, in the valleys of the St. John's and Mira-
michi Rivers, about 1,200, as nearlj- as could be ascertained, were
converted to Christ under his powerful appeals, and of these no less
than thirteen afterwards became preachers of the Gospel. The last

twentv-one years of his life were spent in Sanbornton, where he won
the confldence and love of all who knew him, as a quiet, exemplarj'
citizen and a trulj- godlj"^ man. " His was a life among us of faith
and praj-er, of constant dependence npon the Son of God, spiritually,
aud upon the wise and merciful providence of God to supply his
earthlj' wants. In answer to his praj-ers, the Lord raised up friends
for his declining j-ears, — friends of former j'ears, ' friends of the
mammon of unrighteousness,' those who regarded him as their spirit
ual father ; the sea-captain, who alwaj-s said that the prayers of Elder
Nutt, at one time, upon his own vessel, in a violent storm, saved the
ship and their lives from destruction ; large-hearted and benevolent
men, who loved him, in the neighboring towu of Franklin and else
where, — all vied with each other in bestowing upon him a varietj- of
unsolicited favors, and received as their greatest earthlj' reward the
good man's blessing.'' He d. Sept. 17, 1872, in his 88th year, and his
obsequies were attended at Franklin on the 20th. He was twice mar

872 HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
THE SEVERANCE FAMILY.
1. Nathaniel Severance (usuallj- written Sufferance on our town
records) was the earliest settler on the Ede Taylor, now Daniel B.
Sanborn place ; lived afterwards at the Woodman upper house, but
rem. to Belfast,' Me., soon after 1800. He was vividlj- remembered
by the venerable Capt. John B. Perkins, from certain episodes of
school-boy experience,* as a citizen of the Centre School District,
being the father of two sons and at least one daughter. The town
records give onlj' the former of the two following children :
2, James, b. March 18, 1786. There was also
3. Jacob (known to have been a little younger).
* It seems that during the wiuter which closed the past and opened the present
century, tlie boys of the Centre School one day engaged in a snowballing frolic,
carrying their sport to such a pitch that it ended in a general mele'e, and the fracture
of a rib of one of these Severance boys! A solemn " trial " ensu d, consuming the
whole afternoon, and satisfaction not thus secured, there was another (adjourned)
"court," at which Rev. Mr. Woodm.in was present; but the arguments of neither
parson nor domiuie could ever induce a certain youth, who, from his strength and
agility, was regarded as a ringleader in the affray, to render any apologies or confess
to any "wrong" of which he was not in the least conscious, either in thought, feel
ing, or intention 1 The irate father was, however, at last appeased hy the promise of
a lami, to he given to his injured hoy by the father ol the other youth who would
not make a confession, which lamb was presented the foUowing spring.

APPENDIX III,
Contains all which at the latest possible moment (Feb. 22, 1881),
before the printing of this volume is completed, can be appended by
waj' of supplement or correction (addenda and errata) to the forego
ing records.
Manj- of these items were received or discovered too late to be
incorporated into the body of the work, or were there inadvertentlj-
omitted. All are referred to the proper individuals, bj- page and con
secutive number. It will be noted, especially, that no less than
nineteen individuals, who were living Sept. 23, 1880, when the print
ing of the volume commenced, are so soon to be reckoned among the
departed. Thus death is ever on our track. The names of these
appear in a body at the close of the addenda. Others reported as
living have doubtless fallen by the waj-, but no intimations of other
recent deaths have been received. ADDENDA.

residing. She was a true mother, — sympathetic, anxious for others' welfare,
and endeared to all around her.
3. John Taylor Clark (p. 161 [310]), d. in or near Boston, Oct. 30, 1880,
ae. 55 — 1, of Bright's disease. A contemporary newspaper furnishes the fol
lowing obituary : " Few more useful and public-spirited citizens have lived in
Boston than Hon. John T. Clark, whose premature death so many are now
brought to mourn. His early life was similar to that of raost of our successful
merchants. He came to Boston from the couutry, and raade his way to business
prominence by his own efforts. It is in his identiflcation with the municipal
affiilrs of Boston, however, that he will be longest remerabered. Iraraedi
ately (on beiug elected to the Board of Alderraen) he took a leading stand
in tliat body. His services at the time of the great fire were invaluable. His
judgment was sound, aud his industry aud activity were very great. He
labored early and late iu his duties attendant upon the rebuilding ofthe burnt
district, and the amount of work that he then accomplished was a marvel to
his associates. When Mayor Pierce declined a re-election, their minds, and
those of raany others, turned to Mr. Clark as his fitting successor ; but in view
of the peculiar politics of the city, it was felt expedient to norainate a Demo
crat for mayor, and Hon. Samuel C. Cobb was selected. Mr, Clark, however,
continued to be a main reliance in the Boarci of Alderraen. He served flve suc
cessive years in that body. His most conspicuous acts during Mayor Cobb's
administration were in introducing the resolution in favor of a public park,
and in the order to extend Commonwealth Avenue. He urged both these
meiisures with untiring persistence, and no man is better entitled to the
credit of their paternity. The extension of Commonwealth Avenue he had
much at heart. It was a frequent remark with him that if he could live to
see this avenue reach to Chester Park, he should be content to die, feeling
that he had conferred a lasting benefit upon the city. It has been suggested
to call this Prince Park ; but the name of Clark Park would be greatly more
appropriate ; for Mr. Clark's clear-sighted vision foresaw the importance of the
scheme, and to him, much more than to any one else, shall we be indebted for
its consummation. Mr. Clark was person.ally one of the best known of Bos
ton men. His distinguished presence made his 'a marked figure wherever he
appeared, and his courtly manners corresponded well with the singular endow-
raents of person with which nature had gifted him. He was amiable iu dispo
sition, aud attached men to hira always by his uniforra courtesy of manner.
As a husband and father he was a raodel. Nu man was ever more endeared
to the home circle, and few have been so highly esteemed in social life."
4. Timothy D. Baker (p. 18 [33]), d. at Lake Village, Nov. 11, 1880, ae.
70 — 6. His residence in that place had covered a period of nearly twenty-nine
years, where he had accumulated considerable property, and was universally
respected. He had served twice as deputy sheriff'; was engineer of the Lake
ViUage Fire Precinct ; au original member of the Belknap County Band, with
which he iictively served as drummer for many .years. At his funeral, which
took place on the Suud:iy after his death, the baud showed their high regard
for his meraory by attending in a body.

6. Carrie A. Oilman (p. 308 [44];, d. Dec. 5, 1880, ae. 22—3—17. Her
years of feebleness terminated in a singularly happy death.
"Ah, had disease but spared her morning hours,
Had life with her received a longer date,
How bright in age had bloomed fair virtue's flowers,
And nobly triumphed o'er the stroke of fate.
" But sickness came aud plucked each blooming grace.
Round her fair form a deadly influence threw;
Stole, one by one, the roses from her face.
And planted the pale lily where they grew.
" Yet, though her suu of life went down ere uoon,
That sun shall rise again divinely bright, —
Through countless ages, undiminished glow
In all the radiance of celestial light."
(From a tribute to her memory, written by Mrs. S. B. Hanson, and read at

Congregational Meeting-house, Campton, conducted by Rev. Quincy Blakely,
assisted by Rev. J. B. Hadley.
9. Chase W. Brown (Mrs.) (p. 49 [34]), d. in Sanbornton, Jan. 24, 1881,
in her 72d year. She inherited much of the religious principle and Christian
zeal of her worthy grandfather, the Rev. Nicholas Folsom, A true mother in
Israel, and greatly will her aid and influence as a grandmother be missed in
the home circle.
10. Josiah F. Stone (p. 150 [304]), d. in Winchester, Mass., after a long

charge of his duty as brakeman, was so injured by accidental concussion with
a bridge at Beverly, Mass., Jan. 29, 1881, as to cause his death, Feb. 3, in his
21st year. "He was a young man of raore than ordinary proraise, — capable,
raanly, and houest." His railroad associates, coraing in a body to his funeral

casket with flowers, and doing honor to his memory.
12. Benaiah S. Lang (p, 455 [56]), d. Feb. 4, 1881, in Tilton, in his 84th

children through all the days of her activity.
16. Phebe R. Fox (Mrs.) (p. 728 [104, 8]), d. in Laconia, Feb. 18, 1881,

INDEX II,
GENEEALITIES.
This index contains, L, references to many of the other towns (with their
States) alluded to In the volume, chiefly as being the places from which the early
settlers and others came to Sanbornton, and to which emigrants removed on
leaving town. It, however, omits the citation of several places which are
more frequently mentioned, like Northfield, from its contiguity to Sanbornton,
and Boston, Mass., from the numbers who have migrated thither. It also con
tains, IL, references (1) to most of the early ancestors of the several families
traced out ; (2) to all persons named as belonging to the several professions
(clergymen, lawyers, physicians, teachers, etc.) in Sanbornton and elsewhere;
(3) to college graduates, and to State, county, and town officers ; (4) to the
soldiers of the various wars in which our country has been engaged, enlisting
from Sanbornton and from other places; (6) to casualties, noted as occurring
In Sanbornton and elsewhere ; (6) to the epitaphs, or gravestone inscriptions,
which have been taken from the several cemeteries in town ; and (7) to most of
the incidents or topics of general interest brought to notice in various parts of
the volume.
The first number, that before the short dash (-), refers, as In Index I., to the
page; the second and subsequent numbers, after the dash, to the name of the
individual to be designated, or in whose record the cited place, fact, or incident
is to be found.
