His answer is that in writing the History of Easton, Mass.,* he became interested in this kind of work, not as a voca- tion, but as an avocation, and he selected the Randall family because it was the largest and one of the most important families of the town in its earlier days. Robert Randall, the immigrant ancestor of the Easton Ran- dalls, settled in Weymouth, Mass., about 1635, a man of com- paratively large means. His grandsons, Thomas, Samuel, Israel, and Ephraim, in 1694, settled in Taunton North Purchase, the eastern part of which became the town of Easton in 1725. They were a prolific race and for nearly a century their descendants, in point of numbers, were the leading family in town. One of the several Randall coats of arms bears for its motto the legend, " Nil extra numerum," which may be translated, " Nothing except numbers," a legend which, instead of the boastful assertion of invincible valor, extraordinary services to king and country, royal origin or exceptional antiquity, only makes the modest claim of being a numerous family, a claim fully justified by the Robert line. The coat of arms here alluded to consists of a shield sur- mounted by the head of an antelope holding in its mouth a floral spray and a scroll below the shield, but the writer emphatically disclaims the pretension that it belongs distinctly to this family ; at present it is only known to be one of the Randall coats of arms. Very few Randalls left the town of Easton for nearly a hundred years. After the Revolutionary war there was, however, quite a migration, many settling in the State of Maine and in western Massachusetts, some of them receiving grants of land for military services. The early Randalls of Easton were well-to-do people, * The History of Easton, Massachusetts, 838 pp., by Rev. William L. Chaffin; published in 1886 by the University Press, Cambridge, Mass. xi XU PREFACE one of them being for years the largest taxpayer in town. They were very enterprising, builders of sawmills and grist mills, and engaging in various industries. Their character was good, and they were a distinctly religious people in early days, prominent in the church, several of them being deacons. Indeed, there was always a good deal of what someone called " deacon timber " in this family. Speaking for his branch of the Robert line, George A. Randall, of Cleveland, Ohio, says that none of these Randalls "ever held office, or was wealthy, or a pauper, or insane, or a criminal, or was sued for debt, or was ever intoxicated." And al- though the writer's ampler knowledge of this family would prevent his making this claim for them all, he is confident that in character they would bear a favorable comparison with other worthy New England families. Its patriotism is proved by the fact that twenty-five of them in Easton enlisted in the Revolutionary War service; and their descendants wishing to join the Sons or Daugh- ters of the American Revolution may read the complete war rec- ords of these patriots in this History, records they will find fully substantiated in the " Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the American Revolution," published by the State and found in all first-class libraries. The compiler of the Randall Genealogy derives much satisfac- tion from the thought that he has rescued from threatened oblivion the names of some members of the family whose characters and services well deserved to be kept in remembrance by some such memorial as this. He has done his best to deserve the gratitude of this family by a faithful, accurate, and thorough history. It has involved great labor and considerable expense during the last twenty years. Whether or not this expense and that of publishing this book will be covered by its sales is a subject of doubt, for the demand for it must necessarily be limited almost entirely to the members of the family. The writer trusts that they will reward him for this laborious task and secure him from financial loss by a sufficient number of subscriptions to cover the large expense alluded to. Doubtless some errors will be discovered in this History. No genealogy is free from them, the sources of error being very numerous. Town records are often defective and mistakes in copying may readily occur. The same is true of family records. Badly written manuscripts have to be deciphered. Even grave- PREFACE Xlll stone inscriptions are not always to be trusted, particularly in their allusions to the character of those of whom they are memo- rials, epitaphs being sometimes monumental lies. Not only omissions, but even falsifications, of dates are, for obvious reasons, occasionally made. Data furnished by members of a family at one time occasionally differ from data previously or afterwards given by the same parties. What seem to be equally good authori- ties are sometimes at variance, and guesswork is made to supply the lack of record. These and other considerations should lead the reader of any genealogy to be slow to blame the compiler, who may have used the utmost care, as the compiler of this genealogy has done, to be as accurate and thorough as the nature of this kind of work permitted. This book would have been published long since, but for the writer's determination to eliminate, as far as possible, all errors from his record. The writer of this History, not content with merely presenting a list of names and dates, has used his utmost endeavor to learn something of the career and experience of the heads of the Randall families, so as to add a touch of personal interest to an otherwise dry list of statistics, and he has thus been able to make this genealogy more biographical, and hence more readable, than is common in books of this kind. In his large correspondence with members of this family and with other persons from whom he sought information, the compiler has met with almost uniform, and sometimes with exceptional, courtesy, and for this he hereby expresses his hearty gratitude. Did space permit he would gladly give the names of these numerous correspondents ; but he cannot refrain from mentioning the names of Aaron F. Randall, president of the "' Randall Historical Association of America," who has kindly enriched this work by a most valuable paper on the Randall family in general ; Dr. F. D. Randall, treasurer of the Association, for important suggestions and data ; Rev. George G. Withington, the able and careful town clerk of Easton, Mass. ; the late Hon. Joseph W. Porter, of Bangor, Me., from whom he was the recipient years ago of a manuscript copy of the Vital Statistics of Wey- mouth, Mass., the first American home of the Robert Randall family, and whose widow has since given valuable assistance ; Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Randall, of Belchertown, Mass. ; Mrs. David Bill- ings, of Hatfield, Mass., and Miss Emma Gould, of Portland, Me., all of whom have been of real service, Mrs. Billings even going to XIV PREFACE cemeteries at a distance from her home and copying inscriptions, and also examining town records and copying them in a carefully compiled list of births, marriages, and deaths covering two pages of foolscap.

Randall, President of the " Randall Historical Association of America," Incorporated. No one, unless he has undertaken the work, can realize the vast amount of detail and annoyances involved in the task of compiling a genealogy of the descendants of one of the first immigrant settlers of New England. There were many of these immigrants who came during the seventeenth and first half of the eighteenth centuries, having the same surname — particularly from England — and who were blessed with large families of children. These children in turn raised large families. With the development of the country, and the settlement of the newer States immediately succeeding the close of the Revolutionary War, large numbers of their descendants settled in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and from thence through the Western and Pacific States, until they are now to be found in almost every county in those newer settled regions. The collection of data relating to the descendants of any one of these immigrant settlers requires a vast amount of correspond- ence, and only by elimination can the line of his descendants be traced, and disconnected from other persons having the same sur- name. Owing to the repeated migrations from the older States to the newly opened up territories of the West, representatives of any one of the families of descendants of the immigrant will be found scattered in every county between the Atlantic and Pacific and they know little or nothing of family history. Strange as it may appear, but a very few of these descendants can give the names and birthplaces of their great-grandparents or even of their grandparents, — and will tell one that their ances- tors came from " down East." The only States in which vital records were kept by the first settlers are those included in New England, but the citizens of the newer States are beginning to comprehend the value of such records, and in many of them suitable blank books are provided for the proper officers — who are required to keep records of all births, marriages, and deaths. New York in 1840 adopted a com- XV XVI INTRODUCTORY ESSAY plete system, and prior to that date, few towns kept any vital records in that State. Within the last few years the rapid increase of patriotic socie- ties has created a spirit of inquiry as to the ancestors of persons desiring to join the same. This spirit of inquiry is not confined to any particular State or locality, but permeates every class of people who claim descent from immigrant ancestors of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies in every State of the Union. Old family Bibles are being looked after, family papers, preserved for generations from family sentiment, are being brought out and overhauled. The probate and land record^are being examined for data and much valuable history covering the last two hundred years is brought to light. Numerous genealogies have been and are being compiled for publication , family associations composed of descendants of an immigrant ancestor are constantly being organized, and reunions held, and as family histories are compiled there arises a desire to learn who and what sort of people were the immigrant's English ancestry. The family name of Randall is distinctly traceable back to the period of the Norman Conquest of England, a. d. 1066. It first appears in the celebrated " Doomsday Book " of William the Conqueror in the assignment of lands bearing this name, as " Tenants in Capite," immediately from the crown, and restricted to those who accompanied the Conqueror from his native kingdom of Normandy, of which they may have been native citizens or the descendants of those who came over from Denmark or Norway with Rollo the Dane in 901. The name Randall, spelled in different forms, is of frequent occurrence in the year books or records of legal proceedings and judicial decisions from the beginning of the reign of Edward II. to the end of that of Henry the VIII., a period of about two hundred years, from 1327 to 1547, and many of the name have borne coats of arms granted for distinguished services. The name is a modification of that of Randolfe — or Randolph, and many individuals and families have used both names indifferently. Sev- eral of the name were among the first immigrants from England to America. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, has given the names of three generations of these Randall immigrants who came to New England prior to 1692 as follows: William Randall, of Scituate, Mass., came from the port of London in the ship Expectacon INTRODUCTORY ESSAY XV11 the 24th of April, 1635, to the Island of Providence. He was twenty-six years of age, and took the oath of Supremacy and Allegiance as then required of every person leaving England. Widow Elizabeth Randall and her sons John and Stephen were at Watertown, Mass., in 1653. Her descendants are numerous in New England, New York, and the West, and among them was Alexander W. Randall, who was twice Governor of Wisconsin, Assistant P. M. General under Lincoln, Ambassador to Rome, and Postmaster General in Johnson's Cabinet. Abraham Randall sailed from Plymouth, Eng., for Boston, 30th March, 1630, with Rev. John Wareham in the ship Mary and John. Nathaniel, son and heir of John Randall, of the Parish of St. James Clerkenwell, London, Eng., was in Boston, received a land grant in Groton, Conn., in 1695, estate of his uncle, Sir William Morton, who died in New London in 1659 ; he was last heard from in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1695. William Randall, of Newbury, Mass., b. 1615. Anthony Randall, a physician, Salem, Mass., 1685. Richard Randall, of Saco, Me. ; had a family. Thomas Randall, of Marblehead prior to Feb., 1665. John Randall, of Westerly, R- L, 1667; had lived in Newport, R. I. ; was one of the original proprietors of Westerly; died about 1$46. Had sons : 1. John, b. 1666 : d. at Westerly, R. I. 2. Ste- phen, b. abt. 1668. 3. Matthew, b. 1671, and d. at Hopkinton, R. I., 1736. 4. Peter, b. abt. 1673 ; d. at Preston, Conn. The writer of this article is descended from Matthew in the sixth gen- eration. The descendants of John 1 Randall have become very numerous and widely scattered through the United States and British Provinces. James Randall (spelled Rendell), Portsmouth, N. H., 1686. Matthew Randall, ancestor of Hon. Samuel J. Randall, Speaker of House of Representatives at Washington, D. C, came to America and settled in Philadelphia in 1792. There were several others of the name who came to America prior to 1800. Hotten in his " Old Lists of Persons of Quality coming to New England, 1600-1700," gives the names Bartholomew Randall and Henry Randall, sent from Bristol, England, to the Barbadoes in 1685, as Rebels who served under the Duke of Marmouth. He also names an Edward Randall as owning 11 acres of Land XV111 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY in the Parish of St. Michael, Barbadoes, in 1680. He had 1 hired Servant and 16 slaves. The majority of the first immigrants to America were from the yeomanry or middle class of the people, with a large element of gentry or younger sons of armorial families who by the law of primogeniture were cut off from inheritance of the paternal es- tates. These people, many of whom were also Non-Conformists, came to better their fortunes in the new country. They were people well educated for their times, who thought for themselves, tenacious and clear in their religious beliefs, and imbued with a sturdy independence of character, which traits are still to be found among their descendants and have made the peo- ple of the United States the great and powerful nation of to-day. The feelings of kinship and friendship between the descendants of the first immigrants and the people of England exist to-day in a marked degree, and will increase as time elapses, and we all desire to trace our lineage back to the parent stock. Members of the different Randall families have taken a promi- nent and active part in the military and civil history of the country since the first settlement of the colonies down to date — and have reflected honor on the name and country — and every one connected with the name should feel a personal interest in those who have become prominent as soldiers or civilians. Our immigrant ancestors were mostly Non-Conformists, and came to the Colonies to escape the oppressive provisions of the " Act of Supremacy and Allegiance " ; and, as they would not subscribe to this oath as required by the English law, when leav- ing the kingdom, they could only leave clandestinely at some minor port or by taking ship after it had sailed, and this departure from England was kept from the authorities, consequently but few records of their ancestry can now be found. It is difficult, if not impossible, to find the English ancestry of more than three or four American Randall families. Doubtless by the outlay of considerable sums, for the employment of skilled parties to search English public and family archives, some could trace their English ancestors. Those members of the families of the fleeing emigrants who re- mained in England did not preserve any records of the destina- tions of the refugees, lest the vigilant officers of the crown might vent their spite upon those within their reach, and interchange of letters was infrequent at the time. In a few years the emigrant INTRODUCTORY ESSAY XIX was forgotten at the old home, and on arrival in America the immigrant soon cut entirely away from those left in England. The immigrant Randalls mostly came from the sturdy middle classes of the kingdom, and were men of strong and earnest con- victions and untiring energy, characteristics now plainly evident in their living descendants. It is true that Burke in his " Gen- eral Armory of Great Britain " describes the recognized coats of arms of eighteen Randall families which are nearly all similar in design, but it will be difficult, if not impossible, for more than two or three American families to prove their right to use these coats of arms. This work is a compilation of the descendants of Robert Ran- dall, of Weymouth, Mass., who came from Wendover in Bucking- hamshire, England, and settled in Weymouth prior to 1640. He was born in 1608. It has been compiled by Rev. William L. Chaf- fin, of North Easton, Bristol County, Mass., and has been a labor of many years and at a heavy expense to trace out and get into communication with the numerous descendants. It is the first genealogy of all the descendants of an immigrant Randall ances- tor. There have been several others of branches of a family, but none including all branches of descendants of an immigrant an- cestor. A few words touching the purposes of the " Randall^ Historical Association of America." There are about twenty-five distinct Randall families, compris- ing about thirty thousand living descendants descended from im- migrant ancestors in the United States and the British Provinces, most of those residing in the latter being related to the American families. Three persons belonging to as many distinct families have been engaged for years in collecting material for genealogies of their respective families, and so many of the descendants, of these and other Randall families were found that it was decided to effect an organization acting under a charter to give it character and permanence. In June, 1908, a broad and liberal charter was granted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, perfecting the organization. The scope of its articles is much wider than in associations including the descendants of a single ancestor, and includes the descendants of each of the several immigrant ancestors of the name of Randall, and the result will be to make its records the repositories of the genealogical, historical, and personal data XX INTRODUCTORY ESSAY of each family, whether of American or Provincial birth or nativ- ity. It is intended to hold a national reunion annually at which Randall descendants and blood will meet and become personally acquainted with each other, and thus create a deep and wide- spreading family feeling and pride in the name. It is further the purpose of the association to collect for preser- vation for future use genealogical data of all kinds whether from American or English sources, and, as soon as its means will per- mit, to publish a monthly or quarterly magazine devoted exclu- sively to Randall history. Any person of good reputation and of the Caucasian race bear- ing the name of " Randall," or any of the numerous modifications of the spelling of the name, or being of descent from ancestors of the name or of the allied families related by blood or marriage, may become by vote of the Board of Directors a life member, upon the payment of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10) to the Treasurer of the Association at time of making application, and shall there- after be free from all annual dues ; and any person eligible as above may become an annual member, upon the payment of the sum of one dollar to the Treasurer at time of making application for membership, and the further sum of one dollar annual dues in advance. At any time within the current year of an annual membership upon the payment of the further sum of nine dollars to the Treas- urer of the Association that officer shall issue to him or her a cer- tificate of life membership in the Association. Applicants for membership shall transmit, with their application in writing, their pedigree for as many generations back as possible ; the same to be filed among the records of the Association. The treasurer will send to the applicant, upon request, the re- quired blanks for such pedigree. The Board of Directors shall have the right and power to reject any such application for membership or to drop or expel any member from the association for good and satisfactory reasons. The association is increasing in numbers and influence, its per- petuity being ensured by its charter. It will establish connections with " Randalls " in England as rapidly as possible, and through them try to trace the ancestors of the immigrants to America. DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL / FIRST GENERATION Robert Randall, the founder of one branch of the Randall family of America, was born in England in 1608, and died May 3, 1691, in Weymouth, Mass. He came to this country about 1635 and settled in Weymouth. His name appears on the records of the Mass. General Court, Jan. 10, 1640, where, at the Quarter Court, he is tried upon some charge, but is subsequently acquitted. His name occurs on the vital records of Weymouth as early as Sept., 1640, also in Jan. 1642. Tracts of land are recorded as granted to, or owned by, him, in 1644, and in the division of We3 T mouth lands of 1663 he comes into possession of large tracts, one of them being on the west side of the town adjoining Braintree. He was admitted as freeman of the Colony May 26, 1647. In a deposition made by him and recorded in the Mass. Archives, Vol. C, xxiv, 16, he states under date of July 2, 1688, that he was eighty years of age, and that prior to coming to this country he was " living for sometime in Wendover, Bucks Co., England." This statement suggested Wendover as his native place. Accord- ingly the author of this genealogy employed a competent person to go to Wendover and ascertain the facts of the case. The examination revealed no trace of Robert Randall or of any of the Randall name. The oldest and best informed residents had never heard that any of the family resided there ; no Randall tomb- stones were found, and the vicar of the Wendover parish did not discover the name on his church records, which, however, only dated from 1632. The conclusion necessitated by these facts was that Robert Randall was only temporarily resident at Wendover, and was not a native of the town. His English origin must there- fore for the present remain an unsolved problem. In the records of Bath Abbey Christenings in England, at dates not far from that of Robert Randall's birth, many Roberts appear — that name and the names afterwards common in the Robert line being very often used, and they suggest the probability that Robert of Wey- mouth, Mass., came from this line, but this is only conjecture. 3 4 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL Robert Randall's will, Suffolk Probate, Vol. viii, pp. 41, 42, was dated March 27, 1691. It begins as follows: "I, Robert Randall, of Weymouth, in New England, being weake of body but of competent memory and of a disposing mind, committing my selfe both soule and body unto Almighty God in hope of Eternal life and happiness through Jesus Christ his Son, and my only Saviour and Redeemer: Doe make this my last Will and Testa- ment," etc. His will was executed by his mark in the presence of Mary Vin- ing, Joseph Dyer, and William Chard. He died May 3, 1691, and his will was proved May 25th following. He gave to his eldest son, John, two-thirds of the pasture land, lying in the Range Field, being about nine acres ; also two acres of swamp lying betwixt the land of his son John and his son Thomas, bounded by Joseph Dyer and Thomas Drake's land. Also one-half of the fresh meadow land " lying betwixt my son John his dwelling house, and my orchard." Also seven acres in the first division of " Weymouth town commons." To his youngest son, Thomas, he gave his dwelling house and outhouse, two orchards, one-third of pasture with other lands adjoining the Plymouth line. To daughter Mary, wife of Abraham Staples, of Mendon, and daughter Hannah, wife of John Warfield, of Mendon, £5 each. His son John to be sole executor. The inventory was made by John Shaw and Joseph Dyer, May 16, 1691, the total being £154, lis 2d. The exact date of Robert Randall's arrival in this country and his settling in Weymouth cannot be determined. It was certainly prior to 1640, for his name appears upon the Mass. General Court records in January of that year. Whether his first marriage occurred in England and his two sons were born there, or this mar- riage and these births occurred in Weymouth, Mass., cannot be learned. Considerations that need not be detailed here make it seem very probable that the sons John and Thomas were born in Weymouth some time between 1630 and 1640, Robert's first wife dying at this latter date. Her name was Mary. By her Robert Randall had: 2 i. John, b. probably at Weymouth bet. 1630 and 1640; d. Feb. 25, 1718, in Taunton North Purchase. 3 ii. Thomas, b. probably at Weymouth bet. 1630 and 1640; d. June 11, 1711, in Taunton North Purchase. FIRST GENERATION O Robert's first wife, Mary, died in Weymouth, Sept., 1640,* and he soon married, second, Mary French, sister of Stephen French, who, in his will, 1679, mentions his " sister Mary Randall." The children of Robert and Mary, the second wife, were: iii. Mary, b. Jan. 20, 1642. She married, Sept. 19, 1660, Abra- ham Staples, of Weymouth, who removed to Mendon in 1663, becoming one of its first settlers, and they had: 1. Abraham, b. June 14, 1663; m. Mehitable Hayward, and d. Jan. 30, 1707. 2. John, b. 1667; d. after 1725. 3. Mary, b. April 1, 1668; d. June 29, 1669- 4. Jacob, b. Nov. 10, 1669; m. 1st, Abigail Winter, and 2d, Widow Mary Briggs, and d. 1724. 5. Ebenezer, b. 1677; m. 1st, Widow Huldah Aldrich, 2d, Mehitable Barron, 3d, Mary Davis, d. March 27, 1758. 6. Ephraim, b. Sept. 2, 1678; m. Elizabeth Webster, and d. abt. 1709. 7. Mary, b. Feb. 8, 1681; d. Jan. 27, 1682. 8. Ben- jamin, b. Dec. 27, 1682; d. Oct. 29, 1683. 9- Hannah, b. May 13, 1686; m. John Darling. Abraham Staples, Sr., d. in Mendon, Oct. 20, 1703, and his wife Mary d. March 9, 1712, also in Mendon. Among their descendants born in Mendon were two Unitarian preachers of first-rate ability and noble character, Carlton A. and Nahor Augustus Staples. iv. Hannah, b. after 1642; m. Dec. 26, 1671, John Warfield. Hannah was his third wife. He m. 1st, Elizabeth Shepherd, by whom he had John, Aug. 20, 1662, and Elizabeth, Aug. 29, 1665. His wife died May 24, 1669, and he m. 2d, Peregrine . She died April 1, 1671, and he m. Hannah Randall. Children: 1. Ithamar, b. March 28, 1676; m. Philip Amidon. 2. Ephraim, b. Oct. 4, 1679- 3. Elihu, b. April 27, 1682. Elihu m. 1st, Mary , and 2d, Sarah . 4. Mary, b. April 17, 1685; m. May 19, 1719, William Green. ^r J ohn Wa rfield, Sr., was of Medfield in 1679, and was in Mendon as early as 1683, where he was deacon of the church. He died April 12, 1692, in Mendon. His wife Hannah was alive as late as 1691, for her father's will, made March 27 of that year, leaves her five pounds " in good Country pay at money price to be paid three months after my decease." This bequest he also made, as follows : " And I also give unto my said two daughters [Mary and Hannah] my greatest Brass Kettle, the price as valued to be equally divided between them." Hannah, the widow of John Warfield, d. in Mendon, March 9, 1712. * Weymouth records say she was buried Sept. 3, 1640. SECOND GENERATION 2 John (Robert 1), b. probably at Weymouth, between 1630 and 1640; d. Feb. 25, 1718. He lived for a while in Braintree, but most of his life was spent in Weymouth; a wheelwright by occupation. By his father's will John Randall received two-thirds of the pasture land lying in the Range Field, of about nine acres, with two acres of swamp lying between his own land and the land of his brother Thomas ; bounded by Joseph Dyer and Thomas Drake. Also one-half of the fresh meadow lying between his own dwelling house and his father's orchard, together with seven acres of the first division of Weymouth town commons. This was lot No. 66 in the division of 1663; and he appears at the time of his father's death to have been a householder in Weymouth. The record of land conveyances contains no information respecting John Randall, no deed to or from him appearing to be of record. His will dated Dec. 28, 1715, was proved April 7, 1718. In it he calls himself senior, late of Weymouth ; wheelwright. He gives to wife Sarah £30 provided she acquit the estate of any claim by reason of an ante-nuptial contract. Gave to daughter, Mary Philips, £45 ; to daughter Mercy Kingman £45 ; to daughter Read (Hannah), wife of Thomas Reed, £45 ; to daughter Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Orcutt, £35; to son-in-law, Benjamin Ludden, five shillings, and to grandson, John Ludden, £20 on reaching twenty- one. To son John Randall he gave the rest of the estate and made him executor. His first wife was doubtless that Mary Randall whose death is stated on the Braintree records to have occurred June 28, 1666. Children: i. Mary, of whom we only know that she d. July, 1666. Soon after his first wife's death he m., 1667, Mercy Aldrich, the dau. of George and Katharine of Braintree, Mass., where she was born, April 17, 1650. Their children were: ii. Mary, b. May 31, 1668.

Benjamin, the father, d. June 19, 1752, and Sarah, his wife, d. Oct. 20, 1732. Mercy, the 2d wife of John Randall, d. Sept. 26, 1702, and he m. 3d, Sarah (Judkins) Pittee, widow of Joseph Pittee, of Wey- mouth, whom she m. May 7, 1662. This wife, Sarah, is mentioned, with his children, in his will. He d. Feb. 25, 1718. The date of death of the 3d wife, Sarah, is not known, but she was alive as late as April 28, 1723. 3 Thomas (Robert 1), b. probably in Weymouth between 1630 and 1640, and lived in Weymouth until the autumn of 1695. By his father's will he was given his father's " dwelling house and outhousing, and many acres of land including two orchards, mea- dows, and pasture lands." Although one of the wealthiest citizens of Weymouth he did not disdain the humble office of sexton of the meeting-house, — for in 1681 he is " allowed £1, 10s for ringing the bell and sweeping the meeting-house." The price for such serv- ice advanced in time, as we see by the fact that on March 13, 1688, he agreed to ring the bell and sweep the meeting-house for forty shillings in money for the ensuing year. On the 4th day of March, 1695, he was chosen by the town one of the three surveyors for the ensuing year, but he did not serve the full term of office, for later in the year he sold much of his property in Weymouth and re- moved with his family to the eastern part of Taunton North Pur- chase, a large tract of land which included all that became the town of Easton, nearly all of Mansfield and about one-third of the town of Norton. There were fifty-four shares of this large tract which had been purchased of the Indians in 1668, mainly by Taunton men. Thomas Randall bought half of the fifty-first share and the land set apart to him was at what became Easton, it being located at South Easton, including what is called " the Green," but being chiefly east and north of it, the mill stream run- ning through it. On the north side of it he built his house, part of the land there being to-day owned by his descendants, and on the stream he and his son Thomas erected the first sawmill of the place, and the noise of its wheel made the sweetest possible music to the settlers who were so much in need of the lumber with which to erect their dwellings. That he was piously inclined soon ap- SECOND GENERATION \) pears from this vote of the town of Bridgewater, which had the church nearest to them, the vote being taken in 1696, soon after their arrival in their new home : " Thomas Randall, William Man- ley, and their neighbors allowed to come here to meeting, and to make a horse-bridge over Cutting Cove River," now known as Quesett River in Easton. Thomas was b. probably in Weymouth between 1630 and 1640; d. June 11, 1711, in Taunton North Purchase; m. 1st, Joan Drake, bap. Dec. 15, 1628, in Colyton, England ; dau. of William and Margaret ( Westover) Drake, and sister of Thomas Drake, who came from England. Children : i. Thomas, b. March 12, 1659; d. before 1673.

Ephraim, b. abt. 1685; d. May 17, 1759, " in the 75th year of his age." THIRD GENERATION John (John 2), b. April 16, 1673, in Weymouth, where he lived all his life and where he died Sept. 4, 1730. In his will he calls himself a " husbandman," elsewhere is called a " wheelwright." He was an extensive land owner, as is shown by his large pur- chases and sales of land. The inventory of his estate taken after his death amounted to £3056-0s-5d, a large sum for that date. By his will he gave to his wife, Susanna, the whole estate until the youngest child should be eighteen years old, but provided that if she marry, the estate should be divided — one-third to the widow and the rest to the children, except that the daughter Mary was to have £20 more than the rest, the reason for this preference not being stated. John Randall m. abt. 1696 Susanna Benson, dau. of Joseph, of Hull. She was b. abt. 1678, and d. May 11, 1761. It is curious to note that they had nine daughters and no sons, their grandchildren aggregating forty-two that are on record, and doubtless others that did not get upon the incomplete records of that early time. Children: i. Mary, b. Feb. 7, 1697; d. Jan. 31, 1784; she m. Feb. 6, 1722, Isaac Jones, who d. March 26, 1783, aged 85 years. He was of Hull, but settled in Weymouth as a saddler. Children: 1.

He settled in Taunton North Purchase, now Eas- ton, 1695, going there with his father and brothers, and he built his house at what is now known as the Morse place in South Easton. But after a few years he took up over thirty acres of land in what became North Easton, land that included the present site of the office of the great Ames Shovel Company. Here, about 1720, he built a sawmill and did a good deal of business. During the early years of Easton he was the largest property owner in town, paying a tax double that of any other resident. These early Randalls were all prosperous and were prominent and influ- ential people. They were quite religious, this Thomas being a deacon of the church, as other Randalls were. Indeed the Randall family were prolific in what some one called " deacon timber." In 1727 it was voted in town meeting that Deacon Randall should make a pair of stocks for the use of the town ; and more than one culprit exposed to shame in them had a chance to discover if the deacon did this piece of work well. He had served as tythingman, constable, and " Preesink dark," before the incorporation of the town. Thomas m. Jan. 20, 1697, Rachel, dau. of Samuel Lincoln, of Taunton. She d. Feb. 18, 1715.

She disappeared in the manner explained in the follow- ing notice, which was issued and posted by Timothy Randall, one of the selectmen of Easton, and which is here copied verbatim: " Mary Phinney got out of Timothy Randells house in Easton in the county of Bristol, in the night following the 22d Day of August 1772. By breaking and cutting 4 pannals of glafs and the Sashes. the Doors were fastened & windows nailed.

Diligent search for her for near : 3 : miles every way. Supposed that a thousand days has ben spent in searching for her. She had been under the Doctr hands near 8 weeks, and thought to be His- taricke or Delirious.

It is earnestly Desired that whoever shall find her would be so kind as to take care of her and speedily send word to Timothy Randell or Daniel Alger of Easton in the county of Bristol, or to her husband Pelatiah Phinney of Mid- dleborough in the county of Plymouth." Notwithstanding this notice and the careful search that was made, Mary Randall Phinney was never again heard of.

He lived in South Eas- 18 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL ton, and later in the west part of Easton and was a blacksmith by occupation as well as a farmer. He was very prominent in town and church affairs. He was one of the selectmen for six years, a deacon in the church, and when a move was made in 1750 to build a new meeting-house and locate it near the center of the town, it was he who headed a petition of remonstrants, and when the breach between the two parties in the church became wider, his faction seceded from the town church, organized a Presbyterian society and commenced to build a meeting-house. But this was a short-lived secession. Before long Robert Randall returned to the town church, and when in 176-4 a new covenant was drawn up, the old one being carried away by the disgruntled seceding minis- ter, his name heads the list of signers. Deacon Robert was twice married, his second wife having considerable property. His will, dated Oct. 29, 1783, was drawn up by his minister, Rev. Archi- bald Campbell. In it we find this clause, " Imprimis : It is not my will and pleasure to bequeath any part of my worldly substance to my beloved wife, Keziah Randall, for the following reason, (viz) because we entered into a mutual agreement to quit each other's estate, as may be fully understood by said contract."

The cellar of the house 22 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL may still be seen. In August, 1757, Nehemiah enlisted with twenty-eight Easton men under Captain Ebenezer Dean, of Col. Ephraim Leonard's regiment, which marched in the French and Indian war for the relief of Fort William Henry, then menaced and soon after captured by Montcalm. But the Easton company was too late and returned home after five days' service. Nehemiah Randall took an active part in the church controversy regarding the location of the meeting-house, among other things testifying under oath that the minister, Rev. Solomon Prentice, great-grand- father of Gen. N. P. Banks, said when the General Court proposed to send out a committee to stop his building a church contrary to the vote of the town, " Let the committee come in to my field if they Dare. I will break their heads ; I will split theaire brains out." * Nehemiah m. Dec. 3, 1746, Mercy Drake, dau. of Joseph and Mercy (Smith), b. July 17, 1725; d. Feb. 26, 1778. Chil- dren: 37 i.

Feb. 1, 1781 ; was a man of ability and of great influence in the town. He lived in South Easton, and on the death of his father in 1759 succeeded to the ownership of the sawmill run by his father. He was one of the selectmen and assessors for nine years (1768-1777), and the assessors' returns which he prepared are perfect models of neatness. For his own private use and satisfaction he recorded a list of the deaths in Easton, beginning it when he was twenty- one years of age, and continuing it until his death in 1781 ; his list containing about 400 names. It has been of great service to the compiler of this History. The greatest service he rendered was in giving to the world his son Joshua, who became an original thinker and a preacher of great ability and force of character, one of the ablest men the town ever produced. Timothy died of a fever. A great-granddaughter wrote as follows of his final sickness : " The watchers left the room for a very short time. There was a mug of cider on the top shelf of the cupboard. He wanted a drink before he died, and determined to have some of the cider and abide by the consequences. He told his little daughter Zeruiah to get the mug and bring it to him. She used a kitchen chair back for a ladder and got it off from the top shelf, and carried it almost within his hands' reach, when the watchers came back and took it away from her; and my grandfather (Joshua Randall) thought if he had obtained the cider he would have got well."

Nov. 11, 1800, being killed on his sixty-first birthday by a tree falling upon him. At the age of twenty years he enlisted for service in the French and Indian war, in a company raised by Captain Nathaniel Perry, of Easton. This company served several months and par- ticipated in the siege and surrender of Fort Cumberland in Nova Scotia. On April 13, 1760, he enlisted in the company of Captain Job Williams, of Taunton, and served until Dec. 6th, nearly eight months. He also saw six or eight days' service in the Revolution- ary war, enlisting for Rhode Island service in what was known as the " Tiverton Alarm." Two Easton companies marched there, but no British put in an appearance, and they all marched home again covered with dust, but not with glory. But this eight days' service with no enemy in sight makes Beriah a Revolutionary soldier, and entitles his descendants to join the S. A. R. or the D. A. R. Thus cheaply was this honor earned by many whose descendants pride themselves on the patriotism of their ancestors. His house was east of the sawmill at South Easton. Beriah m.

His homestead was at the northwest corner of Wash- ington and Main streets. It has been in the possession of his descendants ever since and is to-day owned and occupied by his great-great-granddaughter. Hopestill enjoys the distinction of having been a soldier in both the French and Indian and the Revolutionary wars. He enlisted March 24, 1762, in Captain Timothy Hammant's company and served about nine months, being discharged Nov. 1, and was, among the places where he served, at Crown Point. In the Revolutionary war he served for short terms in Captain Matthew Randall's company in 1775 and 1776, and was in Rhode Island service in the same company and in Col. John Daggett's regiment three months in 1778. He was a Baptist in 1791 and afterwards probably a Methodist. It is worth recording as an illustration of the method of caring for paupers in earlier times, when the town " sold its poor " to the lowest bidder, that Hopestill bid off the care of a poor widow for a year for £5, 14s 8d, which in the depreciated currency of the time amounted to about twenty dollars !

He enlisted for the French and Indian war with his brother John, and served in Capt. Samuel Glover's company at the siege and taking of the strong fortress of Louisburg. He lived in a small house which he built in a pine grove south of Lincoln St., North Easton, which in later days came to be known as the " Old Castle." After his death the family became a town charge. In May, 1799, the town " voted foure shillings for shoger and Rum for David Randall's famely." The town also " voted to Abner Randall nine pounds for a coffin for David Randall." This sounds like a large sum of money for a pauper's coffin, but in fact the money was in a greatly depreciated currency. David's grave was near a rock on the east side of the " Old Castle." David m.

His house was near the Stoughton line on the road to Canton, the remains of the cellar being visible at low water on the extreme southwestern edge of Long Pond. He saw much service in the Revolutionary war. He was on six months' service from May 3, 1775, about Boston in Capt. Francis Luseomb's company, and, besides wages, received the " coat bounty." * In June and July, 1776, he served at Castle Island in Capt. Matthew Randall's company. He was in the same company in Col.

He served also in the same company in 1780 on a " Rhode Island alarm." In the War of 1812 he served at the age of sixty-six years (in 1814) on Coast Guard service at Plymouth. In 1776 in " Samuel Randall's school rick," (North Easton) he was hired to teach school at six dollars a month, and " ye said Sol'n Randell to bord himself."* The little schoolhouse he taught in stood at the intersection of Main and Canton streets. Solomon's wife had periods of insanity. She once killed all her ducks and turkeys, got on a horse astride with these behind her artd started to Boston to sell them. In 1767 Solomon was committed to jail on the charge of passing counter- feit dollars ; but two prominent Easton men went to Boston and represented that he was not as bright as might be and that the dollars were first passed off on him ; and they secured his release. Yet nine years afterwards this Solomon, who was " not as bright as might be," was made schoolmaster! He m.- Jerusha Sumner, of Milton, dau. of David, b. Nov. 9, 1747 ; d. Oct. 24, 1812.

Deborah, after her husband's death, lived close to the Ames Machine shop in North Easton, and was known as " Aunt Debby." Hearing the bell toll one morning for someone's death, she asked who was dead, and being told it was the wife of one of the citizens, she exclaimed, " Thank God ! There is a chance for another old maid ! " Her sister, Jerusha, was known as " Aunt Rushy," and like Aunt Debby, was an eccentric character. 24 Robert (Robert 10), b. in Easton, June 24, 1733; d.

He was a farmer living in the northwest part of Easton, called Poquanticut. He was sergeant in Capt.

Isaac Thayer's company of Col. 36 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL Thomas Marshall's regiment, serving from July 31, 1776, to Jan. 1, 1777. In 1778 he enlisted for a few days' service in Rhode Island in Capt. Josiah Keith's company. He is taxed in the northwest quarter of Easton until 1794, then for one year in the northeast quarter, and he then disappears from view. His son William is taxed for one poll in 1793 and then he also dis- appears. William m. May 26, 1771, Unity Swift, of Sharon, b. Sept. 13, 1752, dau. of Job and Sarah. Child: i. William, b.

He first appears as sergeant in Capt. Abiel Mitchell's Easton company, in 1775, marching for Lexington April 19th. Returning soon after he was made lieutenant in Capt. Luscomb's company, and he served through the year in the siege of Boston. In March, 1776, he became captain of the Fifth Company of the Third Regiment of Bristol Co. militia. During much of this year he was on duty in and about Boston, being in camp at Hull in June and July, and on Castle Island afterwards. In December he took his company into service in Rhode Island, was in the three months' campaign there in 1778, and for a time also in 1780. In 1782 he moved to Freetown, where he married and not long afterwards died. His widow on May 20, 1792, m. for her third husband, Ebenezer Payne, thereby resuming her maiden name. It is a matter of special interest to know that when she married the third time, her little seven-year-old daughter Betsy saw her take a bundle of receipts which had been given her by Capt. Randall, and throw them into the fire, saying that now that she had married again they would be of no use to her. They were receipts taken from soldiers in his company for food and clothing which he paid for from his own pocket. The bills thus contracted were never paid to him, and probably he never pressed for their payment.* Captain Matthew m. Dec. 16, 1784, Widow Hannah (Payne) Drinkwater; d. April, 1837. Children: i.

He settled finally at North Solon, Ohio, and had his father and mother come to live with him there. They died there about 1840. He then sold his farm and moved to Chagrin Falls with his second wife, who was an invalid. They had no children. He worked at his old trade in the woolen mills of Bliss & Pool & Co., after which he did odd jobs about town, be- coming janitor and bellringer of the Congregational church 48 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL for at least 20 years. He was very religious, vigorous, and eccentric, and when complained of because he did not ring the bell loud enough, he took the tapper to a black- smith and had its weight increased and rang the bell so lustily that he cracked it. When the Civil War broke out he enlisted in Co. I, Fifty-second Regt. O. Vol. Infantry. This was June 11, 1862, when he was 65 years old, serving as a musician, a drummer and fifer.

He was probably as able a man and as noble a character as the Robert Randall line ever produced. He became interested in Methodism quite early and decided to devote himself to the ministry. In 1796 he removed from Easton to Sutton and in 1799 he went to Dixfield, Me., taking with him his wife and four children. He settled in what is now Wilton, going ten miles from the settlement in Dixfield through an unbroken wild- erness by marked trees, carrying his youngest child, Eseck, in his arms. He began the work of the itinerant ministry, was " ad- mitted on trial " to the New England Methodist Conference in 1808, ordained deacon in 1810 and elder in 1811. He preached by appointment in various towns in Maine and afterwards in Vermont. Joshua Randall believed it to be everyone's serious duty to test for himself by Scripture and reason the traditional opinions he inherited. He therefore entered into a careful and thorough ex- amination of the doctrines of Methodism ; and as a result of this study he came to a view of the Atonement which seemed to relieve it from objections growing out of man's sense of justice and goodness. This view he finally published in a sermon on " The Universality of the Atonement." He maintained that Christ made a full and complete atonement for Adam's transgression, so that Adam's sin and guilt could no longer be imputed to his pos- terity, and so that thenceforth all men were born not under a curse, as had been commonly taught, but in a justified state, and FIFTH GENERATION 51 that they remained justified until they had themselves sinned; that therefore infants were saved, as they could not consistently be under the old theory ; that the atonement was not made for the actual transgressions of men under the new covenant of the gospel, but that " every man is to stand or fall by his own per- sonal obedience or disobedience," being under a covenant of grace which freely pardons upon sincere repentance. This sermon caused him to be suspected of heresy, and in 1822 the Methodist Conference appointed a committee to examine him. Their report was unfavorable to him and the Council decided that he " might be borne with " if he would " not disseminate said doc- trine in public or private ; but otherwise that he should be sus- pended from all official service in the church until the next Annual Conference." " Brother Randall refusing to so engage, is sus- pended," etc. In 1824 his case came up for definite action and he was " left without an appointment until he complies with the order of the Conference." He then appealed to the General Conference. It met in Pittsburg, Ohio ; and Mr. Randall mounted his spirited three-year colt and actually traveled on horseback from Maine to Ohio in the hope of vindicating his favorite doctrine from the charge of heresy. This action speaks well for the strength, reso- lution and faith of this noble son of Easton. The General Confer- ence, unwilling to expel so earnest, able, and consecrated a preacher, evaded responsibility by remanding him back to the New England Conference. This was, however, equivalent to condemna- tion, since the latter Conference had voted to leave him without appointment, until he renounced his views ; which, of course, he would never do until they were proven false. So he had to pay the penalty of his originality and independence and was dropped from the ministry in the religious communion he devotedly loved. But Joshua Randall did not refrain from preaching as oppor- tunity occurred. In 1828 he applied to the Free Will Baptist body for admission to their ranks as a preacher, and he was ad- mitted to their fellowship, remaining with them about seven years. About this time the seventh General Conference of Free Will Baptist churches published a treatise on their faith. It was characteristic of Mr. Randall that he should immediately subject this treatise to a thorough examination, the result of which showed him that he was not in harmony with the doctrine of the atonement therein stated. Unwilling to compromise his associates, or to be himself placed in a false position, he frankly stated his disagree- 52 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL ment, and manfully withdrew from the Free Will Baptist Church in Wilton, and from the denomination itself, his dismissal from the Wilton church bearing date of Nov. 11, 1835, highly recom- mending him to any church to which he might apply. But he was now sixty-four years old, and although he lived nearly twenty years longer, he did not feel like continuing in the active ministry, especially as he found no church fully sympathizing with his views. The ability, character, and career of Rev. Joshua Randall shed lustre upon the Randall name. He was an original theo- logical thinker; a vigorous and telling preacher, and a hard and successful worker in the organization of new societies, riding far and near and preaching day and night. He had an astonishing memory, quoting whole chapters of the Bible at once, and, what is more remarkable, being able to give chapter and verse of any passage repeated to him; and he knew the Methodist hymn book almost by heart. He was social and companionable, and his house was a home where ministers of all denominations were wel- come, Orthodox and Universalists sometimes meeting together there. His children, as their record proves, seemed to inherit his exceptional ability and character. Five of his sons taught school, two were college graduates and became successful lawyers, and all were men of influence and worth. His independence and liber- alism found further development in these sons, some of whom be- came pronounced supporters of what is called Liberal Theology, one of whom, Isaac, was a leading member in the Unitarian Church of Dixfield, Me. An incident relating to his first wife is worth telling here. She was the only child of Capt. George and Sarah (Stokes) Robbins. The captain left for a sea voyage soon after his marriage to Sarah, and his wife died at the birth of the daughter Elizabeth. She lived with her grandfather, Isaac Stokes. The captain re- mained away for twelve years! When he came to Easton to see his daughter for the first time, as he passed the window of Mr. Stokes' house, she happened to be looking out of it, and he recog- nized her at once from her resemblance to her mother.

He graduated at Brown University in the class of 1812, and was ordained a minister at New Bedford Oct. 26, 1814. This was at a time when lines were being drawn in the Congregational churches between the conservative and progressive parties, and in the church that had called Mr. Randall, the conservatives opposed his ordination because " he did not in the opinion of the Church speak the things that become sound doctrine." He was ordained notwithstanding this minority protest. After preaching two years he resigned his position and took up the business of store- keeping in New Bedford and, being an excellent singer, he sang in the choir of the church of which he had been the minister. He did not make a success of his storekeeping, and he returned to Easton, where, in a little store on the Turnpike, he sold drugs and various small articles. He returned to the ministry again, preaching for a time in Stoughton, and on Oct. '3, 1826, he settled at Saugus, Mss., but was dismissed from there Aug. 7, 1827. On April 30, 1829, he was settled in Westford, but his connection with this church closed in two years. His abilities were excellent, but for some reason his ministerial settlements did not last anywhere over two years. He preached for a while after this in Dorchester, Mass. ; but about 1836 he gave up regular preaching, although he officiated occa- sionally as opportunity occurred. He taught school in North Easton village for some time. The latter years of his life were FIFTH GENERATION 57 spent at South Eastern, where he lived an almost hermit life, and where he died in 1871.

He was a hard and cruel man and most abusive to his wife, whom he forced to work like a common laborer on the farm, rewarding her with kicks and blows. Exasper- ated by his cruelty she engaged two rough characters from Haverhill to put him out of the way. They, came to the house, forcing a quarrel, and then beat him to death, tak- ing the body to the barn to give the appearance of his having been robbed and killed.

March 23, 1835. He bought in 1790 eleven acres on the north side of Can- ton Street, North Easton, built a house and lived there until he died. He was a farmer, but from 1802 to 1815 managed a saw- mill, of which he was a half-owner, at the so-called Picker Place. He was a Revolutionary soldier, enlisting in 1777 at the age of seventeen years in Capt. Ebenezer Dean's company of Col. Car- penter's regiment, for Rhode Island service; also in 1778 for six weeks in Capt. Ichabod Leonard's company of the same regiment ; and he marched, in 1780, in Capt. Seth Pratt's company of Col. James Williams' regiment in the " Tiverton Alarm," whence, after six or eight days, they returned, covered with dust, but not with glory, having encountered no Redcoats. His remains after his death were buried in the Ferguson Cemetery at the Foot of Picker Lane. Strong and handsome slate gravestones were placed over the graves of himself and two wives, but mean scoundrels with an infernal vandalism impossible to understand, have done their worst to smash these stones into fragments, as well as the gravestones of the Ferguson family. The writer of this genealogy did his best in 1886 to collect these fragments and decipher the inscriptions upon them.*' Ziba Randall had one hobby which has been of great service to the present writer, viz., that of keeping a record of all deaths that came under his notice, mainly those of Easton, Stoughton, and Sharon. There are over 850 names and dates in this record, ranging from 1792 to 1835, a copy of this list being in the hands of the writer. He m. 1st, Sept. 16, 1784, Mary Gay, of Stoughton, b.

He was town clerk eighteen years in succession, and held most of the other offices in the gift of the town. In his later years he was a farmer in Chittenden. Moses m.

What training he had for his profession does not appear. About 1814 he built the house now standing at the intersection of Main and Canton streets in North Easton. If called at night for some medical service he would be found lying upon a buffalo robe on the floor, his feet towards the fire, and dressed as in the daytime. He was an old-time doctor, who be- lieved in strong medicines administered copiously. One soon got used to the stuff that he sprinkled about as he freely regaled him- self. But it was as well for the patient under his care not to watch him as he prepared the pills to be taken, and rolled them under his snuffy hands up and down his right pantaloon's leg, which had been worn smooth and shiny by this practice. An eye- witness informed the writer that he once saw him moisten with his saliva the brown bread and drug which he was making into a pill in the hollow of his hand ; and he chewed tobacco. Unfortunately, Dr. Randall took something stronger than snuff, and a good deal of it, too. In this he found a meet companion in his second wife. His first wife was an excellent woman and, had she lived, might have made a different man of him. Many a man owes his character and success largely to a good wife ; and many have been undone by a bad one. His second wife was nearly thirty years his junior, but was older than he in intemperate depravity. A sorry couple they looked as they drove about — he, full, but self-controlled; she, maudlin, and redolent not only of rum, but of essence of peppermint, laudanum, and especially of ether, which the doctor could not keep away from her. This bad habit and his filthy ways did not, however, prevent his hav- ing a good practice. People often tolerate in a physician irregu- larities that would ruin the reputation of any one else. They are only " eccentricities " which some persons think add a picquancy and interest to a doctor. But if any man ought to be pure and good, it is the physician who often comes nearer the real heart of persons and of homes than even the minister, and who has a fine opportunity of becoming a helper, not only to the body, but to the spirit, in noble and Christian ways, in those pathetic scenes of sickness and sorrow where his duty often calls him.* Dr. Randall m.

He lived first in Easton, then in Leeds, Me., and later in Bangor. In 1778 he was a soldier in Capt. Joseph Cole's company of Col. John Jacob's regiment, and saw hard service and desperate fighting in Rhode Island. On the 17th of July, 1780, he enlisted in the Continental Army for six months and saw difficult service.* It was on account of his being a Revolutionary soldier that he finally became a pensioner, receiv- ing a pension of fourteen dollars a month. After the war he moved to the town of Leeds, Me., perhaps receiving a grant of land as many soldiers did. He was a farmer there, marrying and having a large family of children. He left Leeds just after 1800 and went to Bangor, Me., where several of his later children were born. When the war of 1812 broke out the old martial spirit aroused in him and, although about fifty-four years old, he en- listed, and in some action lost an arm. It was probably for that reason and because he was a Revolutionary veteran, that he was appointed as toll-gatherer of the Kenduskeag bridge before it was made free. He was also made the town sexton of Bangor for 1817 and 1818. His wife was Sarah Norcross, b. 1766; d. Dec. 28, 1826. Children : i. Mary ("Polly"), b. Oct. 24, 1784; m. April 26, 1813, Amos Taylor.

There in the summer he cleared land, the first trees being felled where the Madison House now stands. He went back to Easton and in the spring of 1816 he started for Ohio again in a covered wagon with an ox team, having his wife and three children with him, Peleg, the oldest, five years old, Sally two years old, and Milo only about three months old. They had a journey of ninety days, and, on arriving, located at what is now known as Madison Gore. There he cleared the land, planted and reared his crops, and, as his obituary reads, " Lived a life of usefulness, honored by all who knew him, and dying at a ripe old age."

Aug. 26, 1869- He built the Edwin Russell house on Canton street in 1810, sold it in 1850, and moved to the Bay road in Sharon, where he engaged in the business of raising dahlias, in which he had great success, often winning a prize in ex- hibitions in Boston. Macy Jr. was a very positive charac- ter, a radical in religion ; in politics a Democrat ; indepen- dent, disputatious, ready to cross swords in argument with anyone. A marked peculiarity of his was his antiquarian instinct, his interest in local history and genealogy. He carefully preserved his father's records, and his tenacious memory enabled him to render valuable assistance to the compiler of this Randall history, who here places on record his grateful appreciation of Mr. Randall's services in this work. ii.

Mrs. Hunt was, like her brother, Macy Jr., a person of decided character. After her hus- band's death and for 22 vears she managed her little farm 108 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL, herself, doing much of the outdoor work upon it herself, planting, hoeing and harvesting, taking care of her cows, looking after fruit trees and vines, and cultivating her flower garden. It deserves distinct notice that at the age of 82 years she shingled and painted her house without assistance. She was never idle and when she could not work out of doors she engaged in sewing, making quilts and doing fancy needle work for her grandchildren, of whom before her death she had twenty. She frequently visited her friends in neighboring towns, and once a year unattended, visited friends in New Hampshire. 213 iii. Ziba, b. May 8, 1817; d. July 30, 1897. iv. Sylvanus, b.

This was done and she was buried in the Washington Street ( Union ville) Cemetery. Years afterwards it became desirable that the Phillips' family record should be made known, and permission was obtained of the selectmen to open the grave to examine the record. The grave was opened and the Bible taken out, not seriously decayed. The whole story is told in the History of Easton, Mass., pp. 768, 769. 120 Martin (John 54), b. in Easton, Aug. 26, 1790; d.

Asa C. m. 2d, Oct. 9, 1868, in Bridgewater, Mrs. Sarah * The Boston Sunday Globe of July 11, 1909, has the following remarkable account: " Hallowell, Me., July 19. — George F. Randall, who drives one of the public carriages, has just undergone an operation in one of the Boston hospitals which revealed a singular malady. He was in poor health for more than a year and the trouble seemed to baffle the skill of every physician to whom he went, until at last he was advised to go to Boston. "The operation revealed the fact that Mr. Randall had three kidneys, to one of which was attached a large tumor. The diseased kidney was removed, the operation was successful and the patient expects to reach home next week. A singular condition is that Mr. Randall was one of twin brothers and the brother who died when young had but one kidney." The compiler of this History has, however, learned that this " one kidney " statement is only a conjecture. 124 DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT RANDALL, (Hardy), wid. of Charles F. Young. She was b.
