'/.ft j c,n I AUTHOR'S PREFACE EaHy in 1894 the compiler became interested in the his- tory of his own ancestry and commenced making inquiries in regard to it. During the progress of his researches there was awakened in him a desire for more extended information, and he was encouraged to continue his efforts until he had accumulated sufficient material to warrant him in publishing a " Genealogy of the Rix Family and Collateral." From the experience thus gained he had acquired such a fondness for genealogical research that it became to him an almost irresistible fascination, and in consequence he was impelled to continue the pursuit in the collateral branches of the family. He was especially prompted to do this from the recollections of his dear old grandmother, and the many good things received from her in his childhood ; her constant solicitude for the happiness of others, which led her to min- ister to their necessities ; and her abiding faith in the Divine Master, all tending to make the desire greater to honor her memory, and to ascertain from whom her noble qualities were inherited, and also to perpetuate the same in some permanent form by publishing the history of her ancestry. Mistakes will undoubtedly be found in the volume, but they exist, not for want of painstaking efforts to avoid them, but generally from imperfect manuscripts and contradictory statements sent by members of the same family. Many persons would be surprised to see the errors in their own' letters, which are frequently the result, not of ignorance, but of carelessness. What is worth recording at all is worth recording carefully and correctly. I should esteem it a favor when mistakes are discovered to have the corrections sent to me. 4 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. The method of this work is that which is recommended by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, in an important sense the foster-mother of almost every New England genealogy. The author is under obligations to all who have furnished records, who are many, but he feels under especial obliga- tions to Mr. Sumner Kimball, of Lovell, Me. ; Mr. Enos Eastman, of Plymouth, Wis. ; Miss Mildred Eastman, of Kearsarge, N. H. ; and to Mr. George P. Eastman, of Mil- bury, Mass., who turned over to him all the old records gathered by his grandfather, Rev. Lucius Eastman, who spent years on the work, and who published a pamphlet of about ten pages of the first four generations of the family. The abbreviations used in this work are but few and will be readily understood. The marginal numbers indicate that a further record is given, which will be found further along in the book. It is the earnest hope of the author that the result of his labors may impart to others the same gratification it has afforded him in its preparation, and he will be pleased to -receive any additional material, which will be carefully pre- served and deposited with the New Hampshire Historical Society, at Concord, N. H., where future genealogists of the family can obtain it, should it be thought advisable years hence to publish another edition. GUY S. RIX. Concord, N. H. INTRODUCTION. Genealogy has been defined as " an account or history of the descent of a person or family from an ancestor ; the enumeration of ancestors and their children in natural order of succession." But it is sometimes asked, "Of what use is it .^ " The question might with almost equal propriety be asked con- cerning the kindred sciences of history and biography, for if there is utility in preserving a record of events, or of the life and character of individuals, then science which embraces, as it is now understood and practiced, in a considerable degree both these features, must also be interesting and profitable. Our ancestors, the early founders of New England, were a reverent, conscientious and industrious people, and a consider- ation of their lives, their hardships and their achievements, cannot fail of proving salutary. It is both a natural and honorable ambition on the part of any man to have his gene- alogy traced, but unfortunately there are some who cannot see the necessity or desirableness of having their pedigrees ascertained, or of preserving any papers or documents bear- ing upon them, that they may have their descent defined and arranged in authentic genealogical order. Most people appear content with mere traditionary details of their lineage, without being at the pains to authenticate them by reference to proper records or regular genealogical authorities. And to show the apathy some have, the author will state that he has repeatedly sent self-addressed stamped envelopes for information, and to this day no reply has been received. But he will say in addition, and to their credit, that the Eastmans, as a general thing, have taken' a good deal of interest in the work. 6 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. There is a satisfaction to most persons in being able to trace their lineage to remote ancestors ; in knowing where they lived, and what scenes and hardships, prosperity and adversity, they passed through, and in recollecting what ben- efits they conferred on their posterity. As nothing is certainly known of Roger Eastman pre- vious to his emigrating to this country, his settling at Salis- bury seems a suitable epoch from which to commence an account of his family and descendants. Roger Eastman and the first settlers in Salisbury and adjoining towns were Puritans, and under the tyranny of the Tudors and Stuarts, many left their native country to enjoy civil and religious liberty. They did not come here to accumulate property, to live in ease and splendor, or acquire fame. They had vastly higher and holier views and aims, to obey God and prepare themselves for heaven. These sons of the forest had sound hearts, firm in their resolutions, and persevering effort. Their faith in God never failed. They kept constantly in view the grand design of their coming to this wilderness. To the Puritans are we indebted for our civil liberty and free institutions, as well as for our religious privileges. It might under other circumstances seem unbecoming in us to speak of the virtues of the descendants of our ances- tors, but in a history of the family it would seem strange if we did not find some who rose to eminence. We find more of the name who were college graduates than any other. Many have been ministers, lawyers, members of congress and many have held other public positions. Many have been mechanics, inventors and farmers. HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THB Eastman Family in America. The farthest back found of the Eastmans is of John East- man, of Romsey, county Southampton, will dated September 24, 1602, proved October 22, 1602, to be buried in church of Romsey : To son Roger Eastman all lands whatsoever in default to son John, also to Roger, 100 niarksat 14, to be paid by my father Roger Eastman, to my son John 50 pounds at 14, to daughter Elizabeth and Margaret when 21 or married 40 pounds each. Ditto to child my wife now goith with, to servant Elizabeth Head 5 pounds. Residuary legate and executrix, wife Anne ; overseers, Roger Eastman, Michael Mackeall and Mathew Mundsy. Witness : Walter Godfrey. Giles Newe. Thomas Stote. The first one of the name in America was Roger Eastman', born in Wales, England, in 161 1, and died in Salisbury, Mass/, December 16, 1694 ; married Sarah Smith (.?), born in 162 1, and died in Salisbury, Mass., March 11, 1697. They were both members of the church in Salisbury in 1694. 8 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. Roger Eastman came from Langford, county of Wilts, and sailed from Southampton in April, 1638, in the ship Confi- dence, John Jobson, master, bound for Massachusetts Bay Colony. On the ship's papers he was entered as a servant of John Saunders. It is believed that on account of the emigration laws, or for political reasons, his real rank was higher than appears. Many traditions have been handed down, but it is believed that Roger Eastman was the sole ancestor of all the East- mans in this country. The name has been, in some cases, spelled " Easman," even by members of the same family. No record of his marriage has been found or of his wife's full name, and it is only by tradition that we suppose it to be " Smith." Roger Eastman received lands in the first divi- sion in Salisbury, in 1640-3. His minister's tax in 1650 was 8s. 3d. From Salisbury the tribe dispersed, but the major part settled in the southern towns of New Hampshire and the northern towns of Massachusetts. The third generation, however, settled farther north, fol- lowing up the Merrimack river, while others settled further south in Massachusetts and Connecticut and others in Maine. From these places they scattered over the United States and Canada. CHILDREN. i. John2, b. Jan. 9, 1640. XathanieP, b. March 18, 1643. Philip-, b. Oct. 20, 1644. Thomas^, b. Sept. 11, 1646.

Mr. Eastman first lived in Haverhill, Mass., but his house being burned by the Indians, March 15, 1697, and some of his family captured and others dispersed, and himself captured at same time, he finally, after his escape soon after, concluded to settle in Connecticut, where his son Philip had preceded him. A full record of his family has never been found. On the town record of Woodstock, Conn., where he settled, mention is made of Philip Eastman as being represented by his heirs in the distribution of lands as laid out among the pro- prietors in 171 5 ; mention is also made of his buying a piece of land in Ashford, a town adjoining Woodstock.

He took the oath of allegiance in 1675. His estate was administered upon in 1688, and his brother John was appointed guardian of his only son, Jonathan, and of his mother, Deborah, who was then in captivity. Thomas Eastman was a soldier in King Philip's war in 1675-6. Mary Corlis, Deborah's oldest sister, married William Neff, Jan. 23, 1665, who went after the army, and died in Rhode Island in February, 1688-9.

After Joseph's death his widow married Joseph Guernsey, with whom it is said she quarrelled. They , removed to New Jersey. It is very likely she took her children with her. Joseph settled in Hadley, and probably did so on his marriage. There is a record of a Joseph East- man, who was a soldier in King Philip's war, and as no other Joseph Eastman was old enough to be a soldier in that war, this Joseph must be the one.

Taking off her apron, she threw it over the fawn, and clasping it in her arms, carried it home. She sold it to Andrew Mc'Milan for six pounds of sheep's wool. Mr. Eastman lived first in Concord, N.

There is a tradition that Collins was killed or died in the war, but it is not at all likely, because he was discharged at the time his company was.

They resided in Haverhill until their third child, William, was about two years of age, when they removed to Stonington, Conn. When they removed to Stonington, William was a sturdy boy, and Susannah, wearied with much work, and carrying him in her arms, deposited the sleeping boy in an empty tub in the cellarway, telling her husband it must be put on the load of goods, while she, with Ruth behind her on the horse, went awhile on the journey, then she would take the babe in her arms. John, the eldest, ran by the ox team or was placed among the goods when tired. After a few miles on their journey, Susannah called to Capt. Swan to give her the babe, when lo and behold ! he had for- gotten to put the tub and child on to the load. Smart man — that curtain lecture can be heard to-day by their descendants all down the one hundred and ninety-two years. They retraced their steps and found " little Billie " still sleeping and started again, right this time.

The first record is from Haverhill records, and ought to be correct. He married March 4, 17 10, Sarah Peaslee EBENEZER EASTMAN^, OF HAVERHILL, MASS. 21 (spelled by some Peasley), daughter of Col. Nathaniel and Judith (Kimball) Peasley and grandson of Dr. Joseph Peasley. The latter was born in Haverhill, Mass., Sept. 9, 1646 ; died Nov. 5, 1723. Dr. Joseph was the son of Joseph, the emigrant, made freeman in 1642. He settled in Haverhill before 1746, thence to Amesbury, where he died Dec. 3, 1660. Captain Eastman was the first settler in Concord, N. H. There are many interesting facts concerning the part Mr. Eastman took in the settlement of Concord ; the services he rendered, and the affairs of trust and honor committed to his charge, were many. Having considerable property, and coming, as he did, at the earliest period of the settlement of the town, with his six sons, the eldest of whom was fifteen years of age and able to do a man's work, it is no wonder that Captain Eastman became in a few years the strong man of the town. In 1 73 1, his house and home lot were in better order and he had more land under cultivation than any other in the settlement. From his youth he had been inured to hardships and to bold and daring enterprises. When nine years of age his father's house was destroyed by the Indians. At the age of nineteen he joined the regiment of Colonel Wainwright in the expedition against Port Royal. In 171 1, when the British fleet under Sir Howenden Walker against Canada arrived in Boston, the land forces that were to accompany the expedition were organized with great despatch, and Mr. Eastman, then about twenty-one years of age, had command of a company of infantry, which embarked, with others, on board a transport. In going up the St. Lawrence river they encountered a violent northeast storm, in which eight or nine of the vessels were lost and about 1,000 men met a watery grave. The story as related by Jonathan Eastman, a grandson of Captain Eastman, is that as night came on the orders were that all the vessels 22 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. should follow the Admiral's ship, which had a large light hoisted at masthead for a signal. Captain Eastman had been somewhat acquainted with the navigation of the river, having sailed up and down before. In the night the light of the Admiral's ship was not to be seen, and it was at the time when the fleet was'doubling a very dangerous and rocky point or cape. When the Admiral's fleet had fairly doubled the cape and got into line, the light appeared in such a position as to draw the line of shipping directly on to that dangerous point. Aware of the danger. Captain Eastman went to the commander, and informed him of the peril, and begged him to alter the course of the vessel ; but being under the influence of liquor, this the captain positively refused to do, saying that "he would follow his Admiral if he went to h — ." Captain Eastman replied, " Well, I have no notion of going there, and if you won't alter the course of the vessel, I will." "If you do," replied the captain, "your head shall be a button for a halter in the morning:." Informing his company of the danger and relying on their support. Captain Eastman ordered the captain below and the helmsman to change his course. Thus they escaped the wrecks v^/hich befell other vessels of the fleet, by which so many lives were lost. The next morning the humble captain tendered his acknowledgments to his deliverer, and begged his friendship. On the following day the Admiral came aboard, and on seeing Captain Eastman abruptly said, " Captain Eastman, where were you when the fleet was cast away .-• " " Following my Admiral, sir," replied he. " Following your Admiral ! you Yankees are a pack of praying devils. You saved yourself, but sent my men to h— ! " Among the many traditions and anecdotes that are related is one that, soon after settling in Concord, he made a journey to Haverhill on horseback, and purchased a barrel of EBENEZER EASTMAN^, OF IIAVEKHILL, MASS. 23 molasses, which he intended in some way to convey home with him. He contrived what was called a car, that was formed with two shafts, one of which was fastened to the horse and the other to drag on the ground. Lashing the barrel of molasses on his car, he proceeded on his journey homeward along the path through the wilderness. He got along very well until he got to the Soucook river, when, after crossing and ascending the hill, which was very steep, he had got nearly to the top, his horse starting suddenly, the rigging gave way, and down went the barrel full speed, and was dashed to pieces against a tree. The captain, summoning all the patience at his command, exclaimed, " Oh dear, my wife will comb my hair, yes, and harrow it too ! " It was truly a hard case. Captain Eastman went to Cape Breton twice, the first time March i, 1745, in command of a company, and was present at the reduction of Louisburg, June 16, 1745. He returned Nov. 10, 1745. Early the next year he went again, and returned home July 9, 1746. He was also a captain in Col. Sylvester Richmond's regiment, of Massachusetts, Feb. 6, 1744. Mr. Eastman lived on the " East Side," was a farmer, and was employed for many years in public affairs. He commenced a two-story house, but died before it was finished. He died July 28, 1748.

HANNAH EASTMAN'S CAPTURE. Haverhill, Mass., was first settled in 1640. It was the thirtieth town within the limits of the state of Massachusetts, thirty-second in the list of incorporated towns, and forty-ninth in New England list. It was a frontier town for more than seventy years, and there were few New England towns that suffered so severely from the depredations of the Indians. Its early history is one long record of blood and misery. The early colonies suffered from six wars : first, the Pequot war ; second, King Philip's war ; third, King William's war ; fourth. Queen Anne's war ; fifth, the three years, or Lovewell's war ; sixth, the second P'rench war. Hannah Eastman's capture occurred during Queen Anne's war, which commenced in 1703, and ended in 1713. The foes with whom the colonists contended were the Indians and Canadian French. 28 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. It would be hard for the present generation to conceive of the suffering of the inhabitants at that time. Haverhill village at this date consisted of about thirty houses, and it was rare to find a family that had not lost some of its mem- bers at the hands of the Indians. The men went armed to their daily labors, and went to church with a Bible in one hand, and loaded gun in the other. They were safe from Indian attacks nowhere ; their fields, their dwellings and their churches were alike subject to their stealthy and fiendish raids. , It was really an "Age of Terror" for those hardy and courageous men. But history can show none more heroic and none that exhibit a more fearless and undaunted spirit. At this period Jonathan Eastman and his young wife Hannah had made for themselves a home in Haverhill. Jonathan was born in Salisbury, Mass., Jan. 8, 1680. He was the son of Thomas and Deborah (Corlis) Eastman, and grandson of Roger'. Jonathan married April 8, 1701, Hannah Green, born Dec. 20, 1677, on the historic " Dustin Hill," in Haverhill, daughter of Peter and Elizabeth Green. Their first child, Thomas, was born March 17, 1702, and died July 20, 1703. The second child was Abigail, born Feb. I, 1704. The Indians seldom made their appearance before the opening of spring, and on this account less care was taken to guard against surprises during the winter months. But as a means of defence, the selectmen had appointed six garrison and four " houses of refuge." These were either built of brick or had a single layer of brick between the outer and inner wall. They had but one outside door, often so small that a single person could enter at a time. The buildings were of two stories, with windows two and one-half feet long, and eighteen inches wide, secured inside by iron bars. The glass was extremely thick and very small, was cut in diamond shape and fastened with lead instead of putty. HANNAH EASTMAN S CAPTURE. 29 There were two rooms on the lower floor, and the entrance to the chambers above was by a ladder that could be drawn up, should the lower floor be taken by the enemy. The fireplaces were of enormous size, and wood of sled length was often burned in them. The ovens opened on the outside of the building, generally at one side, behind the fire- places and were very large. Late in March, 1704, Jonathan removed with his wife to the fifth garrison, which was owned and commanded by Joseph Bradley. It was situated in the northerly part of the town, and has long since been torn down and no trace of it remains. In one of the upper chambers of this garrison, their little daughter, Abigail, was born Feb. i, 1704. Eight days later (Feb. 8), Jonathan left the place to attend to some necessary duties at their old home, intending to return before nightfall. Before leaving, he stopped for a moment at the bedside of his wife. He was not a demon- strative man, but he bent down and kissed her and turned away and carefully drew the covers over the dimpled hand of his tiny daughter. Mrs. Bradley was in the lower room engaged in soap boiling. He stopped only to inform her when he expected to return and passed outside. It was a lovely day ; the air was crisp and keen, the sun shone brightly, the snow was deep upon the ground, and drifted in many places quite deep. During the winter, the settlers had grown secure and careless of danger, and the sentries were absent from their stations and even the gates were open. Little did Jonathan think as he rode forth that he was watched by cruel eyes, far less did he think that he was never again to see his infant child, or that many weary months would pass before he again met his beloved wife. Why the Indians allowed Jonathan to escape will never be known. His powerful frame and commanding presence 30 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. may have deterred them. However, they let him pass on, and waited until between three and four o'clock in the after- noon before attacking the garrison. They then cautiously approached, and finding the way clear, rushed through the open gates before they were discovered. Jonathan Johnson, a sentinel, who was standing inside the house, shot at and wounded one of them, but the savage, infuriated by the pain, made the air ring with terrific yells as he pushed forward into the house. With great presence of mind, Mrs. Bradley filled her ladle full of boiling soap and threw it over him. He was so severely burned that he soon died. The rest of the party rushed forward and killed Johnson, and made Mrs. Bradley and some others prisoners. Only three persons escaped from the garrison. Then they mounted the ladder and entered the room where Mrs. Eastman was alone with her child ; affrighted, she sat up in bed, but the movement disturbed the child and it began to cry and she took it into her arms, pressing it to her wildly beating heart. With a fiendish yell, the foremost savage snatched it from her clinging hands and brutally dashed it against the door- post, beating out its brains, when, with a satisfied grunt, he threw it into a corner and ordered Mrs. Eastman to arise and prepare to go with him. The poor woman was so stunned and horrified by the shock of seeing her child murdered before her eyes, that she could not move. The savage then seized her by her long hair, and brandishing his tomahawk over her head, forced her to obey. The party hastily collected their prisoners and plunder and commenced a hasty retreat toward Canada. The cap- tives were separated, some going in one direction and some in another. Night was coming on, the weather was cold, and the snow was quite deep, the wind blew keenly over the hills, yet Mrs. Eastman was compelled to arise from her HANNAH EASTMANS CAPTURE. 3 1 sick bed. Her yearning eyes were fastened upon the little heap in the corner, and her arms ached to clasp again the tiny form, but it was not allowed. Her captors were in a hurry, forcing her down the ladder, and with threatening words and gestures compelled her to go forward in her weary march towards Canada. They took her first to Ossipee Lake, where she remained until spring, when they went on to the " Ox Bow " in Newbury, Vt. Here they planted corn and remained until it was in the second hoeing, when they were visited by another party of Indians, who probably informed them that some scouting party was in search of them, for the next day they hastily packed up and left for Canada. Pen cannot describe the tortures endured by Mrs. Eastman during this terrible journey. Weak and weary she dragged through the long days and the longer lonely nights. Often she tried to escape, but her captors guarded her so closely that she found no opportunity. The memory of that journey to Canada remained with her through life. It was a deep, unbroken, and seemingly inexhaustible wilderness that daily grew between her and her beloved home and friends. Pathless mountains, swollen and almost impassable rivers lay behind and before her. No friendly smoke curled from the chimney of a white inhabitant,- but she sometimes saw the red flames leaping heavenward — flames kindled by her savage captors, and telling the fearful story of other wrongs. When within a few miles of their destination, Mrs. Eastman was too exhausted to go on ; she was therefore left alone to spend the night in the wilderness. A kind squaw gave her a piece of punk-wood set on fire to make a smudge to ward off mosquitoes. Their poisonous bite had caused her face to swell so badly that the Indians called her " Fat Hannah." The next morning they sent a squaw to find her. The swelling had subsided, so as to show her extreme emaciation, and the squaw seeing her thus, piti- fully exclaimed, " W'hy, Hannah !" 32 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. The tribe were encamped at Three Rivers in Canada, near to a French settlement, and soon after their arrival there, a French woman became interested in Hannah, seeing she was a captive, and was very kind to her, and often gave her salt to season her food. She finally proposed that Mrs. Eastman make her escape and offered to secrete her from the Indians. Mrs. Eastman gladly accepted the offer, but was obliged to keep out of sight, lest she be again captured. Winters passed with their snows and wind ; springs succeeded with their early buds ; summers followed, filled with flowers and sunshine ; autumns brought forth their abundant harvests, but the heart of the lonely woman grew sick with hope deferred. For nearly three years she had been held captive, but she well knew that if Jonathan were living he would search for her, but she fully understood how small his chance was of finding her. A plan for escape began to take form in her mind, for she felt an intense desire to return home. The thought grew upon her, and finally took definite shape. She shuddered as she remembered the fearful journey through trackless forests, invested by fierce wild beasts and ruthless savages. Could she hope to pass such dangers alone .'' One day she stood beside her chamber window, thinking deeply on her plan of escape, when her attention was attracted to a man who was passing the house. Her breath came faster as she gazed upon the tall, deep chested, broad shouldered man, with a strong, serious face. In the whole neighborhood there was not as splendid a specimen of manhood. He was fully six feet four inches in height, and of powerful frame. He was dressed in a long jacket, or what was called a " fly coat," made something like a surtout, reaching half way to the thigh, a striped jacket under a pair of small clothes, like the coat, made of flannel cloth, that was fulled, but not shirred. His flannel shirt was HANNAH EASTMAN S CAPTURE. 33 buttoned loosely at the throat, he wore woolen stockings and thick leather shoes and a broad brimmed fur hat. There was nothing unusual in the costume ; similar costumes were generally worn by men in moderate circumstances, when about their ordinary business. But his unusual height, broad shoulders, and erect car- riage seemed strangely familiar. She was almost certain that it was her husband that was passing. She called to him by name, "Jonathan," when he stopped and looked around, but seeing no one, passed on. She called again, but this time he did not hear. She flew down stairs and informed the French woman, who immediately sent a little girl to call him back. The child could speak no English, but by motions and pulling his coat she persuaded him to return with her. There were many changes in Hannah's appearance,- caused by exposure and hardship, and at first Jonathan did not recognize her, but it was the happiest moment of his life when he again clasped her in his arms. It was the third time he had passed the house while search- ing for her. He at once redeemed his wife, and they started back to Massachusetts. Their journey was of long duration, for they had to walk the entire distance, but despite its necessary hardships the journey was a delightful one, and left in their minds impressions destined to bear future fruit. We have no record of the length of their stay in Haverhill. In 1 710, we find Jonathan Eastman enrolled as a "snow- shoe man." The general court (June 19, 17 10), having ordered that a large company 'of soldiers under the command of Lieut. Col. Saltonstall be kept constantly armed and equipped and exercised in the town, and that these soldiers might be better prepared for every emergency, ordered them to be supplied with snow-shoes. 34 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. In April, 1723, the pastor of the first church in Haverhill, finding that the church records were lost, or that there never had been any, requested all members then living to give their names to him. Among the members was Hannah, 7ife of Jonathan Eastman. No records of this church earlier than 1 7 11 can be found. Again, Dec. 5, 1723, in the town record of Haverhill, among other petitions for land, we find that Jonathan Eastman requests 20 acres in " Providence neck," and his request was granted. It is a tradition that Jonathan lived at one time in Ando- ver, Mass., but there is no record of it. In 1746, they lived in Concord, N. H., in a fort known as "Eastman's" fort. It stood at the fork of the road at St. Paul's School, about two miles west of the city on what is known as the "mill road." It was to this fort that the party were destined when massacred, Aug. 10, 1745, about one mile out of Con- cord. March 2, 1747, Jonathan executed a will, appointing his son Amos executor, and it was admitted to probate in Exeter, May 30, 1758. The following year (1759), Amos removed to Hollis, N. H., taking his mother with him. Mr. Eber Eastman, of No. Haverhill, said when living, that his mother had seen Hannah, when an old lady, riding horseback behind her son Amos in Hollis. In a list of people in Hollis who died at great age, the name of Hannah does not appear. The date of the deaths and the place of burial of Jonathan and Hannah Eastman is unknown, but as we trace the life and character of this devoted couple, we cannot fail to observe that they possessed to a notable degree the true pioneer spirit. We find the tribe ever the leaders, but never the followers of civilization. Was it simply a coincidence, that along the line of that fearful journey, where Hannah Eastman once trudged a miserable captive, where the path had been marked by fire JONATHAN EASTMAN^ OF HAVERHILL, MASS. 35 and the tomahawk of the savage, with her devoted husband, she should return to plant the seeds of civilization and religion ? Where the Indian once hunted and fished and lived his sav- age life, pretty villages now cluster among the trees and hill- sides, and well-filled barns and storehouses attest to the fruitf ul- ness of the country and the mdustry of the inhabitants. Hard indeed would it be to find a hamlet, however small, that did not contain one or more of the desceridants of Jonathan Eastman and wife Hannah. From Massachusetts line to Canada, they have left the impress of their lives upon the land and upon the people. The descendants of Jonathan Eastman show on the New Hampshire Revolutionary rolls their loyalty to the colony in 1776. Four brothers, grandsons of Jonathan Eastman, served in the war of the revolution. Take the Eastmans as a whole, the writer has found them extremely patriotic, and all,^vith the exception of only two, Very fond of their country. No costly granite, nor sculptured marble, marks the resting place of this couple. Mournfully and sweet the breezes chant a requiem over those lonely graves hidden among the granite hills. But in the hearts and memories of their descendants they will ever be held in honored remembrance, until that " last great day " when each hillside grave shall give, up its dead, " touched by God's right hand." "Jonathan and Amos Eastman both of Haverhill, bought of Barachias Farnum Millwright of Rumford a piece of land lying in said Rumford containing one hundred & 90 acres being said Farnum's homestead and commonally called the Mill lot bounded as follows. Beginning at a hemlock marked standing by Turkey river thence running easterly by land of Benjamin Rolf Esq, about seventeen poles to a Beach marked thence northerly by land of said Rolf in part and partly on land in possession of Abram Hoit about one hundred and seventy nine poles to a pitch pine marked being the north 36 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. east corner bounds of said hoits land thence by the mill road about one hundred and forty two poles to a white oak marked thence westerly about thirty poles to a white oak marked, standing by the mill pond thence southerly about sixty four poles to a pitch pine standing on the southerly side of said pond thence by common land and land of Ebenezer Hall and Turkey river to the bounds mentioned togather with all the stream of said Turkey river in said Rumford and all right and privilige of flowing mill ponds on said river and the land adjoining togather wdth eight acres and one hundred and twelve rods more or less togather with six acres more or less the laying out and selling of said land was accepted by the proprietors of Rumford at their meeting on the second day of February, 1737, togather with six acres and twenty seven perch more or less lying on Millers brook so called." Deed dated April 11, 1745. Note. This deed probably establishes the date, or about the date, of Jonathan's removal from Haverhill, and also that at the time he lived in Haverhill instead of Andover. It is a little singular the deed makes no mention of a consideration at all. This property is now owned by St. Paul's School Corpora- tion, Concord. WILL OF JONATHAN EASTMAN.

Joseph was a student with Rev. Mr. Williams at Deerfield, Mass., when that place was burned by Indians. He was three years a captive of the French government in Canada. On his return he settled on his grandfather Tilton's estate in Hadley. He was a deacon of the church in Hadley for many years, a staunch friend of Elder Edwards, and endorsed his views. CHILDREN. i.

Peter Eastman^ (Joseph', Roger') born in Hadley, Mass., Jan. 20, 1786; married Nov. 28, 1708, Mehitable Root, daughter of Hezekiah and Mehitable (Frary) Root, of Deer- 42 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA, field, and granddaughter of Thomas Root, of Northampton, Mass. Peter Eastman probably settled in Suffield, Conn., at that time in Massachusetts, as we find in the records of that town the birth of five children. From Suffield, Peter removed to New Jersey, probably on account of his mother going there, sometime between the birth of his son Hezekiah and son Benjamin, The earliest mention of him in New Jersey is in the deed mentioned below. It is very probable all his children, except the first five, were born in New Jersey, but no records of their birth can be found. He returned to Connecticut and located in New Fairfield in the thirties, as the proprietors records of Cornwall, show he bought land there in 1738, and he was called then "of New Fairfield." He sold the land in 1739, " all rights and title," so that it is evident he never lived there, although the history of that town says he " built the first house there and the first meeting of the proprietors was held at his house." The records say, however, that though this meeting was appointed at his house it was changed to another man's. We have no record of his death, but it is probable he died soon after the leasing of his last and only farm to his beloved son, Joseph. No will or settlement of his estate has been found. The records of this branch of the family have been so imperfectly kept that not much data concerning them can be obtained, consequently we have to rely on tradition. One is that he had twelve sons and some daughters. It is possible he had more than one wife, though we have no record of another, CHILDREN. i.

She was the mother of William Pitt Fessenden, born in Boscawen, X. H., Oct. 16, 1806, in the house subsequently owned by Dea. Thomas Ger- rish. The child was christened after the Episcopal ser- vice, Daniel Webster being its god-father. His father was Gen. Samuel Fessenden, of Portland, Me. William Pitt graduated from Bowdoin College in 1823, with dis- tinguished honors, receiving his degree of A. B. before MOSES EASTMAN-*, OF CONCORD, N. II. 7/ he was seventeen years of age. Such precocity has few equals ; one was Edward Everett, and another was the great commoner of England, for whom he was named. He was a member of the national convention in 1840, candidate for congress in 1850, member of national con- vention in same year. He was elected to congress in 1854, elected senator in 1859, for six years. The year previous, Bowdoin conferred on him the degree of LL. D., and Harvard paid the same compliment in 1864. He died suddenly after a week's illness, Sept. 8, 1869. His mother married Nathaniel Green, of Boscawen, N. H., and they had a daughter who married Moses Bailey, of Hopkin- ton, N. H. vi.

H., Sept. 23, 1738, daughter of David and Mary (Wilson) Kim- ball, and granddaughter of David^, Benjamin^, Richard', the emigrant. During the French and Indian war, in Septem- ber, 1754, he was one of Capt. John Chandler's company of scouts, and in 1755 he was sergeant in Capt. Joseph East- man's (his brother's) company of Rangers, who marched to Albany, then to Fort Edward, in the expedition against Crown Point. September, 1762, he was one of Captain Marston's company, at Crown Point. Early in the Revolu- tion he enlisted as sergeant, on April 23, 1775, for three months and sixteen days, in Captain Baldwin's company, in Col. John Stark's regiment. He was with Stark on the seventeenth of June at the battle of Bunker Hill. During the siege of Boston, in 1775, in consequence of the Connect- icut troops retiring at the expiration of their term of enlist- ment, General Washington sent messages to the Committee of Safety of New Hampshire, for three regiments of militia to be raised immediately for his reinforcement, and within ten days thereafter. New Hampshire furnished thirty-one com- 78 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. panics of six-weeks men, who, on their arrival at Cambridge, were highly complimented by Washington. The sixth com- pany on the hst was from Concord, N. H., had fifty-one privates, three sergeants, three corporals, commanded by Capt. Benjamin Emery, of which company Moses Eastman was second lieutenant. These companies of militia were discharged soon after the evacuation of Boston, March 17, 1776. In September, 1777, Moses Eastman again enlisted in Capt. Joshua Abbott's company, in Lieut. -Col. Henry Gerrish's regiment. This company marched to reinforce the Northern Army, and while they arrived too late for the battle of Bennington, they joined the army at Saratoga, and were present at the surrender of Burgoyne. In August, 1778, Moses Eastman again enlisted as sergeant in Capt. Aaron Ouinby's company of volunteers, in Col. Moses Kelly's regiment, in the expedition to Rhode Island. Moses was a signer of the Association Test, in 1776, wherein each of the subscribers solemnly engaged and promised that they would to the utmost of their power, at the "risque" of their lives and fortunes, with arms oppose the hostile proceedings of the British fleets and armies against the United American colo- nies. In the Old Fort Cemetery in East Concord, a fine granite monolith was erected last October (1894) to the memory of thirteen Revolutionary soldiers buried there. Five of the names inscribed on the tablet were Eastmans, among whom were Moses and David Eastman. CHILDREN. 194. i. Sarahs, b. Aug. 8, 1757 ; in. Jacob Carter. 195. ii. Susauiiah^, b.

Mr. Eastman was licensed as a tavern keeper in Ashford, in 1762. On the town records of Ashford will be found the births of his first six children, and on the records of Rehoboth, R. I., will be found those of his second wife, so it is supposed he removed to Rehoboth about 1767. On the Congregational church records in Rehoboth will be found the date of the baptism of the children of Samuel East- man, viz., Abigail, Dorothy, John, Ruth, and Samuel, baptized May 17, 1772. On the same records will be found the name of Dorothy Eastman, a member of the church, Jan. 26, 1772. This was probably Mrs. Eastman, as her daughter Dorothy would have been rather young to join the church at eleven years of age. It is not known when or where Samuel or his wife died, but it is thought in Rehoboth. CHILDREN BORX IN ASHFOKD, CONN. i. Abigails, b. jan. 20, 1742-3. ii. Joanna^, b. July 7, 1746 ; d.

Jonathan Eastman-* (Philip^, Philip^ Roger'), born in Ashford, Conn., June 3, 1724 ; married Elizabeth Pearse, and settled in W'alpole, N. H. Mr. Eastman was a farmer. Late in life he removed to Northfield, N. H., but in about a year, in 1787, removed to Enfield, where he soon went to the " Shakers," where he died. Of his family record it is difficult to obtain much, especially dates, as his records were lost by fire at the " Shakers." It is not known how many of his children went there with him, but one, Jonathan, went with his father, but when about fourteen years of age left them. CHILDREN. 206. i. SamueP, b. . 207. ii.

Peter Eastman-* (Jonathan^, Thomas-, Roger'), born in Haverhill, Mass., April 20, 1710 ; married Elizabeth Harriman, of Hampstead, N. H., where he settled and died. He, with Peter Green (probably his uncle), owned a large share of Hampstead, as also the island in Island Pond in Hampstead. We have no further record of him except the birth of his children on the town books. The proprietors of Haverhill, March 21, 1731, gave to Hon. Richard Saltonstall, a member of His Majesty's Council, one half of the large island in Island Pond, in consideration of valuable services rendered the proprietors ; the remainder was sold to him for thirty shillings an acre. It was then estimated to contain two hundred acres, and called Island Farm in Perch Pond. It was sold by Saltonstall in 4734 to Jonathan and Peter Eastman and Peter Green, who sold it to Gov. Benning Wentworth in 1741. It was owned by him and his heirs until 1780, and from then till 1865 it was trans- 82 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. ferred seventeen times, at which time it was purchased by its present owners. This Jonathan Eastman must have been the father of Peter, as his will mentions Wash Pond, which lies in Hampstead, though no record is in existence of Jona- than ever living in Hampstead. Peter settled in the town about 1732, and made his home near the western shore of Wash Pond. Peter Eastman was town clerk of Hampstead in 1758 and 1760. On a petition sent to Gov. Penning Wentworth and to the General Court assembled Jan. i, 1743-4, the names of Peter and William Eastman appear. In a list of persons assessed in Hampstead in 1764 the name of Dr. Peter Eastman appears. CHILDREN BORN IN HAMPSTEAD, N. H. i. MaryS, b. May 1, 1735. 210. ii. Mehitables, b. June 24, 1737. iii.

Mr. Philips, Nov. 15, 1737, Molly Lovejoy, born Dec. 17, 17 18, bapt. Dec. 24, 17 18, daughter of Henry and Sarah (Far- num) Lovejoy. She died in Pembroke, N. H., June 14, 1764. He married 2d, Sarah Abbott, daughter of James and Abigail (Farnum) Abbott, of West Parish, Concord, N. H., born Aug. 13, 1730. Sarah was the widow of Job Abbott. Mr. Eastman settled first in Pembroke, N. H., and about 1768 removed to Conway, N. H. He purchased of Thomas Chadburn all the interest he had in the "mill lot," with the improvements thereon, but soon transferred by gift, or WILLIAM EASTMAN"*, OF HAVERHILL, MASS. 83 Otherwise, the property to two of his sons that settled in Conway. Soon after, he removed to Lovell, Me., where he established the ferry across the Saco river, and when the toll bridge was built a little further up the river, he tended it. The most of his children settled in Conway and the adjoining towns, and at this day there are more of the name in that part of the country than any place known, the greater part of them descendants of Richard. He took a prominent part in the settlement of Fryeburg, and was a deacon of the church there. CHILDREN BORN IN PEMBROKE, N. H. Calebs, b. Oct. 27, 1738 ; d. Aug. 25, 1739. Jonathans, t).

Timothy- Walker, January 9, 1743, Mehitable Bradley, the ninth child of Abraham Bradley, of Haverhill, Mass., died in Hollis, N. H., Nov., 18 1 3. Amos lived in Concord, N. H., with his- father, in 1746, in Eastman's fort, at the fork of the road at St. Paul's School, about two miles west of the city. Mr. Eastman was a lieutenant in the war. Mr. Eastman, in AMOS EASTMAN'', OF HAVERHILL, MASS. 8$ company with John and Wilham Stark, of Derryfield, now Manchester, N. H., in April, 1752, was on a hunting expedi- tion near Baker's river, in Rumney. The company had been very successful, estimating their furs at five hundred and sixty pounds old tenor. Here they fell in with a party of ten Indians of the St. Francis tribe. It being in time of peace danger was not at first apprehended, but towards even- ing the Indians made a prisoner of John Stark, who had sepa- rated from the rest to collect traps. Suspecting mischief, the party was proceeding down the river, William Stark in a canoe and Amos Eastman on the bank, when the Indians came upon them, took Amos prisoner, shot into the canoe and killed Stinson, who was afterwards stripped and scalped.' William Stark escaped through the intrepidity of his brother John, who struck up the gun of the Indian who aimed at his brother. Eastman and John Stark were taken captives to St. Francis, Canada, which they reached the ninth of June. Here they were compelled to run the gauntlet, the usual ceremony in such cases. The young Indians arranged them- selves in two lines, each armed with a rod to strike the cap- tives as they passed along. Eastman was severely whipped, but Stark snatched up a club and made his way through the lines, knocking the Indians down right and left whenever they came within reach, and escaped with scarcely a blow. Eastman was sold to a French master and was kindly treated, as was also Stark, who became a favorite among the Indians. Both were redeemed after about six months by a Mr. Wheel- right and Captain Stephens, from Charlestown, who were sent from Massachusetts for the purpose of obtaining the release of the prisoners. Stark paid for his redemption one hundred and one dollars, and Eastman sixty. They returned home by the way of Lake Champlain and Albany. Mr. Eastman removed to Hollis, N. H., in 1759. Mr. Eastman was also a soldier in the French and Indian war. 229. ii. 230. iii. iv. 86 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. CHILDREN. i. Mehitable^ b. in Concord, N. H., June 16, 1746 ; m.

There are no church records of the church there prior to 175 i, and of the eight male members at that date, the name of Azariah East- man appears as one. The same records say the wife of Azariah Eastman was admitted a member by profession, Jan. 2, 1757. The same records say the widow Eastman died in 1777. This must have been the widow of Azariah, and of course if so he must have died first. The dates of baptisms will be found on the books of the church in New Fairfield. It is very likely his children were all born in New Fairfield. CHILDREN. 247. i. Azariah^, b. Aug. 5, 1746. ii. Esther^, b. . iii. Hannah^ b. . iv. Eli^, b. ; bapt. June 7, 1752. 248. V.

Joseph Eastman-* (Peter^, Joseph^ Roger"), born in New Jersey in Sept., 1724 ; died in Marshall, N. Y., Sept. 2, 1802 ; married Oct. 12, 1746, Phebe Hendricks. When a boy of fourteen or fifteen years of age, he went with his parents to New Fairfield, Conn., where he was married. A deed of 1756 shows where Joseph bought lands in New Fair- field, and in 1761 leases his father's farm. Another deed of 1788 calls Joseph of "New Milford," so he may have removed there after his father's death, n In 1788, he removed to Kingsbury, Washington county, N. Y., and in 1798 we find him in Paris, Oneida county, and 1799 in Marshall, once a part of Paris. In a small plot of ground taken off the original farm in Marshall, lie the remains of Joseph and his wife Phebe.,y The following are inscriptions from their tomb- stones : In memory of In memory of Joseph Eastman Phebe, wife of who departed this life Joseph Eastman Sept. 15, 1802, in the who departed this life 78th year of his life.

Another record says he did not remove to Salisbury till 1774. He settled on the west side of " Smith's Hill," where he cleared up a large farm, and erected the buildings now (1899) occupied by Titus H. Wadsworth. He was a prominent man in the town and served with distinction in the Revolutionary war, and was one of the committee of safety. His first four children were baptized in Kingston, the fourth one in 1766, so that it is possible he did not remove to Salisbury until the latter date mentioned. IIO EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA.

Kingsbury Eastmans (David'*, John^ John-, Roger'), born in South Hampton (?) ; bapt. there July 19, 1750. He lost his life at sea, Nov. 10, 1791. He was in Harpswell; Me., as early as 1770. He probably went there earlier than that. The ear marks of his cattle are recorded on the town records, May 30, 1774. Many traditions have been handed down of this family; one is from a very aged descendant. " Three brothers came from England to America. One of these settled in New Hampshire. The other two settled in Harpswell, Me. One of these took the king's side in the Il8 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. Revolutionary war, and settled on the English side of the St. Croix river. He finally went to Nova Scotia. The third brother, whose name is not recalled, espoused the cause of liberty. His wife's name was Susan, of Dutch origin. She was a woman of superior strength, and at all the raisings and gatherings in all those days they had wrestling bouts, and she would always throw the last man. She could pick up a cask of cider and drink from the bung. She could butcher a 400- pound hog and hang him up v/ithout aid from any one. She drove six English officers from her house because they were saucy to her." The farm of Capt. Kingsbury Eastman has been in the family for over 130 years. His house stood at Cundy's Harbor, East Harpswell. In Vol. v., page 160, Mass. Rev. Rolls, will be found the following : " Eastman, Kingsbury. Return of men enlisted by Capt. John Snow to serve at Harpswell ; service from July, 1777, to Dec. 7, 1777 ; also sergeant in Capt. Nehemiah Curtis' company, Col.

Lydia Eastman-^ (Jeremiah', Zacha^ah^ John-, Roger'), born in Byfield, Mass., Nov. 8, 1726 ; died in Mon- mouth, Me., with her son John, March 9, 1820, aged 94 years; married ist, Capt. Joseph Chandler, born in Salisbury, Mass., in 1725, son of Joseph and Mary (Tucker) Chandler ; married 2d, Nov. 19, 1778, John Bartlett. Captain Chandler served in the French war ; was by trade a blacksmith, and had a farm about a mile north of the centre of Epping, N. H., near the Governor Plummer estate, on Oak Hill. It is recorded at Epping that " in 1760 Capt. Joseph Chandler's cattle mark was a crop of the left ear." He was highway surveyor in 1763, and at the annual parish meeting, held March 14, 1774, he w^as chosen parish clerk. On the 2d January, 1775, Captain Chandler was chosen one of the com- mittee of inspection and correspondence for the parish of Epping. He was a captain in the Revolutionary war, and at a meeting, July 22, 1776, of the New Hampshire Committee of Safety, their record says : " Gave Southampton soldiers leave to go join Captain Chandler's company." He died in the service of his country, at Mt. Independence, Sept. 17, 1776. An inventory of the estate of Capt. Joseph Chandler, late of Epping, was exhibited Jan. 29, 1777, by Lydia Chand- ler, administratrix. The real and personal estate amounted to ;^849 :o : 3, and on Feb. 25, 1778, she exhibited a further account of personal estate of ^272 : 3 : 61/2, of which she had paid out ^224 14 : 8. her (Signed) Lydia X Chandler. mark. On the 26th of Feb., 1778, Jeremiah Eastman was appointed guardian of the three youngest children of Captain Chandler. Probably he was their grandfather. I20 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. CHILDREN. i.

His name appears as one of the signers to the Declaration made April 12, 1776, in response to a call fiom the Committee of Safety. For twenty years from 1775, he was town clerk. He was an active member of the church in Deerfield to which he belonged. WILL OF JEREMIAH EASTMAN. " In the name of God Amen.

H., the year he was married. In 1797, he removed to Newbury, Vt., leaving Weare the day Daniel was married, driving an ox team with the goods, Daniel driv- ing the cattle and sheep, the women on horseback. They purchased one of the best farms in Newbury, leading from STEPHEN EASTMAN', OF NEWTON, N. 11. 12/ the river to the town, now (1899) owned by the Cailtons. Mr. Eastman was one of the first settlers of Weare. He was a Revolutionary soldier, and was at the surrender of Ikir- goyne. He was a hard working man, and was often heard to say that he never used spirituous liquors in all his life. In religion he was a Quaker or Friend. Thomas Eastman bought of John Kimball, of Amesbury, for 400 pounds old tenor, one half of lot 2, range 3, in Weare, and settled on it.

Stephen Eastman^ (Roger-^, Roger^ John', Roger"), born in Xewton, N. H., March 27, 1744; died in Lyndon, Vt. ; married in 1767, Anna Colb)^ born Aug. 17, 1747, daughter and fourth child of Abraham Colby and Elizabeth, his wife. Anna was born in Amesbury, Mass. They lived in Newton, N. H., till 1778, when they removed to Bow, X. H., and bought the tract of land at the base of "Wood Hill." The first definite account of Abraham Colby, who, with his five sons, settled on "Wood Hill," in Bow, N. H., in 1768, is to be found in the Amesbury, Mass., Records, where it is stated that the children of Abraham Colby and Elizabeth (Blaisdell) Colby went with him to Bow. Aug. 16, 1768, he bought of John Leavitt, of Stratham, part of lots Nos. 3 and 4, in the 14th range, being 120 acres, for ^45, lawful 128 EASTMAN FAMILV OF AMERICA. money, equal to $150 at that time. The road through Bow was only a bridle path from Samuel Rogers', where Lewis C. Goodhue now (1899) lives, to Elisha Clough's and Francis Carr's, on the hill where the first meeting house was built, and extending on to where Bow Mills village is now located. Here on this land his five sons settled. On the town records on file by the town of Bow, the name of Stephen Eastman appears as one of the signers of the Association Test. Imagine such a man, with four small children to support, the eldest not quite seven years of age, taking such a stand. It meant life or death to him. It is related that when he was past 80, he would, with staff in hand, every Sabbath, in fair or foul weather, walk six or eight miles and return, to attend the church to which he belonged. He was a shoemaker, and wished to have his son Stephen follow the same business, but it was distasteful to him ; they had some trouble about it and the boy bolted. He went to his uncle Colby and conferred with him, and he advised him to make a bee, and fell ten acres of trees on his father's farm and follow farming. He was then only fifteen years of age, but followed the advice, and when his father came home from an absence of a few days and saw what had been done he exclaimed, "We are ruined!" But from this day things began to prosper better, and he admired the management of his son so well that in time he deeded all his property to him, expecting him to stay at home and care for him and his wife in their old age. After a while a new house was to be erected ; one wanted it to face one way, and the other wanted it to face the other. The result was that Stephen, Jr., left the old home in Bow, and went to Vermont. He first went to Danville, looked over the ground, but not finding anything to his liking, he went to Sutton and bought one hundred acres, July 12, 1804. He moved his family there in February, 1806. He lived first in a neighbor's house a mile away from his purchase, but the skteenth of June following raised a ICHABOD EASTMANS, OF NEWTON, N, H. 1 29 house on his own lot, and his son David was born the same day. When they moved into their new home, his wife carried the babe, and he the Httle girl, not quite two years old, and a bag of meal. When Stephen, Jr., left Bow, he had a deed of the property there, and when he had left home his father selected David, his youngest son, a man of amiable and even disposition, to stay and care for him in his old age. After Stephen had been in Vermont a few years, he saw it would be to the advantage for his father and brother to go to Vermont to live, and he selected a tract of land in the edge of Lyndon, and adjoining his farm, and then went to Bow for them ; but no argument could convince them until he said, " You will be obliged to go, for I have sold and deeded the place over your heads." Then they concluded to go, which they did, including all the children except his second child, Hannah, who had married. CHILDREN. i. Elizabeth^ b. iu Newton, N. H., Oct. 22, 1767 ; d. young. 331. ii.

She died leaving a daughter, Sarah^ born in Con cord, Dec. 15, 1756, published to Abner Flanders, of Con- cord, Aug. 14, 1773. Captain Chandler married 2d, Sarah Merrill, daughter of Dea. John Merrill, who kept the first ferry over the Merrimack in Concord. Captain Chandler was a Revolutionary soldier. 177. Stilson Eastman^ (Ebenezer-*, Ebenezer^ Philip^, Roger'), born in Concord, N. H., Jan. 7, 1738 ; died in 1837 5 married a daughter of Capt. Nathaniel Hutchins. Mr. East- man was a ranger under Lieut. John Stark ; was in the STILSON EASTMANS, OF CONXORD, N. H. I5I bloody fight in Jan. 1757, when Major Rogers was twice wounded, and the command devolved upon Lieutenant Stark. Eastman related that on receiving his second wound, Major Rogers advised a retreat, but Stark, taking command, declared that he would shoot the first man that fled, and that he would fight, and "fight the enemy till death", and then if necessary, retreat. While Stark was speaking, a ball took off the lock of his gun, and at the same moment observing a Frenchman fall, he sprang forward, seized his gun and returned to his place and continued the fight. At Crown Point, General Amherst had command of the army. The General was so fond of milk that he kept a cow in camp, which had liberty to run at large to find the best feeding ground. It happened after a while that the cow was miss- ing and could not be found. Soldiers were sent in all direc- tions, but could not find her. At length Eastman found her, to the great delight of the General, who, as a reward, ordered Eastman's canteen to be filled. Eastman at this was as well pleased as the General, for no one loved the good " critter" better than he. The cow had strayed away into a piece of meadow where she found good feed. Well, for the sake of the good " critter" Eastman would occasionally drive the cow to the same place, where no one could find her but himself, and whenever he brought in the cow, he got his pay in the canteen. Mr. Eastman became embarrassed in business and lived a dissolute life until he was eighty years of age, w^hen he was converted to religion and went to live with his son, Caleb, in Rumford, Me. In 1825, Caleb was allowed by the town twenty dollars for the support of his father. CHILDREN. i. Nathaniel, b. ; m. Elizabeth Watts, July 9, 1774. ii. Peaslee^ b. ; m. Molly Graham.

She died Sept. 17, 1834. Mr. Eastman was a man of robust frame and distinguished daring, active and enterprising. He was an ardent patriot ; was in Capt. Joseph Abbott's company of volunteers that marched to reinforce the northern army September, 1777, and was ready to fight at any time after- wards for his country. Squire Eastman, as he was usually called, lived on the east side of the Merrimack river in Con- cord, on the spot near where the old garrison house stood, where his grandfather lived, and where all his children were born. He had but very little education, but learned to write on birch bark, and in later years was well posted in all political and public affairs. As illustrations of his enterprise and force of character, it is related that when a boy of fifteen years he was sent by his father on foot to Conway, N.

I 55 died in Peacham, Vt., Sept. 27, 1828 ; son of Samuel Cham- berlain. General Chamberlain settled in Canterbury, N. H., with his parents. He took his bride on horseback to Peacham, where he was an early settler. The following will be found in the records of the Governor and Council of the State of Vermont, Vol. iv, page 105 : " Gen. William Chamberlain volunteered in the army in 1775, and served as orderly sergeant in the invasion of Canada, suffering all sorts of privations and being one of nine officers and privates out of the company of 70, who survived to take part in the battle of Trenton, N. J. At the expiration of his enlistment, he returned to N. H., but on Burgoyne's invasion he again enlisted and was in the battle of Benning- ton, Vt., from which it is said he brought away some trophies of personal combat with his enemies. About 1781, he removed to Peacham, Vt., being then clerk of the pro- prietors of the town, where he held the office 1 2 years ; justice of the peace 24 years ; town representative 12 years ; chief justice of Caledonia Co., 17 years ; councillor of the state, 7 years; Lieut. Gov., from 181 3-18 15 ; a delegate to the Constitutional Convention 1 791-18 14; presidential elector in 1800. A member of Congress two terms from 1803-5 3-nd 1809-11. In private life he was upright, a friend of order, learning and religion. He lived to see the wilderness become a cultivated and populous region, and as a matter of far greater moment to himself, closed a long, use- ful and eventful life on earth in humble trust of the better life in heaven. He received his title as General, from com- missions he held in the state militia from Major to Major- General." His Revolutionary record can be found on the New Hampshire Revolutionary Rolls in Vol. i, pages 194, 305, 304, and 465. 463. V. 464. vi. 465. vii. 466. viii. ix. 156 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA.

He was chosen surveyor of Salem, N. H., where he lived in March, 1767 ; was chosen fence viewer March 31, 1779, and on July 13, 1780, was chosen or drawn as petit juror. When he first moved to Coventry he was chosen one of a committee to lot the town, and was- its first surveyor. He called the first town meeting held in the town. He was a Revolutionary soldier ; was in Capt. Jesse Page's com- pany, Col. Jacob Gale's regiment, Aug. 5, 1778, as corporal; joined the army in Rhode Island, Aug., 1778, discharged Aug. 25, 1778. (N.

In 1892, Mr. Ira Whitcher erected a stone at his grave which reads : " Erected in 1892, by Ira Whitcher, in memory of one of the first settlers of Coventry." It seems that he went to Coventry before his family, as his daughter Mehitable was born in Salem in 1780, and he was in the war in 1778, from Haverhill, a town adjoining.

H., during the early- settlement of that town. They lived at first in a log house, but in a few years built a good frame house, and a few years later a more commodious one, which for many years he kept open for the traveling public. The old town records show that year after year, at the annual town meetings, there was voted to Simeon Eastman, license to keep tavern the ensuing year. Some times the town meetings were held at the tavern and meetings for the election for the district comprising the towns of Landaff Franconia and Lincoln. In 18 18, his house was burned, Mr. Eastman escaping very severe burns in trying to save something. Mrs. East- man and daughter, Lucinda, then about eighteen years of age, barely escaped with their lives. Mr. Eastman's loss was severely felt, there being no insurance, but he soon built another house, which is still standing (1899). Mr. Eastman was a thrifty man, a man of unusual enter- prise, a man of perfect integrity, genial, companionable, a good provider, and generous to those in need. Mrs. East- man was one of the noble cooks in all that region and her fame reached far and near. Her marriage portion from her father was one barrel of pork, a barrel of beef, one cow and 494. i 495. ii. 496. iii 497. iv 498.

When Richard, Sr., and his sons first went to Conway, they settled where they could find buildings, but they soon found that on account of the spring freshets everything was carried away, and so removed to higher ground. Richard, Jr., moved a house from the intervale to the " mill " bridge, where seventeen of his eighteen children were born.

In 1S43, Mr. Eastman's house caught fire in the dead of winter, and he, his wife and another inmate escaped with nothing but their night clothes. Mr. Eastman was nearly helpless from old age, and his wife with extreme difficulty dragged him from the house and through the deep snow to the barn yard. They were exposed to the extreme cold of a winter's night for a considerable time before help arrived, when they were taken to the house of a neighbor, Mr. Eastman's feet were frozen in a shocking manner, but he recovered and survived two years. They had no children. 216. Noah Eastmans (Richard-*, Jonathan^, Thomas^, Roger'), born in Pembroke, N.

He lived in Lovell, Me., but it is not known at what date he went there, but he was town clerk in Lovell for the years of 1 803, 4 and 5 . His fine penman- ship, at that time, showed him to have been a man well skilled in the use of the old time goose quill with which he wrote. The names and dates of the births of his children on the books are of his own handwriting. It is possible that his children were born in Lovell. For the last few years of his life he was blind. Mr. Eastman was a Revolutionary soldier. His name appears on the Revolutionary rolls of Massachusetts in the secretary of state's office, Boston, as being under Lieu- tenant Farrington, Fryeburg, Me.

His last place of residence w^as in the town of Stow, Me., where he died. His old family Bible, now in possession of one of his great-grandchildren, shows very plainly the marks of time and frequent usage ; and here within is to be seen the complete register of his family made by his own plain and legible handwriting. In the record of his decease, the prefix of " Dea." is added to his name. CHILDRKN. Joseph Kilgore^ b. 1794, in Conway, N. H. Stephen C.^, b. 1796, in Conway, N. H. Abigail^, b. 1798, in Conway, N.

Benjamin Eastman^ (Benjamin-*, Peter^ Joseph% Roger'), born in New Milford, Conn., Oct. 3, 1759; died in Cornwall, Canada, Oct. 2, 1836 ; married Mary Waterbury, born in Nova Scotia. Benjamin was a Tory. He went with his parents to Vermont and settled in Arlington during the early settlement of that town. At a convention of delegates at a meeting held in Washington, Vt., on the 15th day of June, 1777, the town of Arlington was not represented. They had suffered much from New York, and it would have been difficult to specify wherein the king had harmed them. The king had given them their farms at a nominal price, and they did not think it right to rebel against a king who had done them no harm. Perhaps one-half of the people were on either side. The British army of more than seven thousand were on their way from the north and were creating alarm. Samuel Adams, about this time, or a little later, formed a company of Tories gathered from Arlington, Manchester, Sangate and from some of the other places for the purpose of co-operating with Burgoyne's army. Their place of ren- dezvous was at Abiel Hawley's tavern, which was, strange as it may appear, used by the patriots for a similar purpose. The settlers were soon startled by the abduction of Phineas 194 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. Hurd, son-in-law of John Hawley, of Arlington. Hurd was a Loyalist and owned one of the best farms in Arlington. On a certain occasion, he, with a company, including Benja- min Eastman, of Arlington, went to Sangate, an adjoining town, and persuaded the inhabitants to deliver up their arms, that they might be in no condition to fight. The arms were eventually used against them by the Tories. For this Eastman was arrested and reported to General Lincoln. Eastman took the oath of allegiance and was released. It is said by his descendants that he fought at Saratoga in the British army, and was taken prisoner, and after his release, he, with his brother, Amherst, traveled through the woods to Canada, and settled in Cornwall. He paid his brothers a visit in Herkimer county, N. Y., and urged without success to have one of them settle in Cornwall near him. He became very wealthy, and offered his brother a fine farm if he would remove to Canada. He had a family of nineteen children. CHILDREN. i. Johii^, b. . ii. Samuel^ b. iii. Joel^ b. — iv.

Y., in March, 1844 ; married ist, Hannah Martin Warner, born in Connecticut, and died about 1832 ; married 2d, widow Eliza- beth Paddock, who survived him a few years. He removed from Connecticut about 1784, to Brothers-town, now Mar- shall, N. Y. Here he purchased of the Government one hundred and forty-four acres of land at fifty cents per acre. He built a log house and cleared up his land and burned coal and paid for his land from the proceeds. The name of Joseph Eastman, Jr., appears on the Revolutionary rolls of Connecticut in a list of men from Ashford, who marched for JOSEPH EASTMANS, qF CONNECTICUT. 201 the relief of Boston in the Lexington alarm, in April, 1775 ; was in service sixteen days. Joseph and his wives lie in a small plot of ground taken off his home farm, about two miles from the village of Waterville, N. Y. He lived to be loved and respected by all with whom he came in contact. The following story is told by his daughter, Saphronia, who is living in Canandaigua, N. Y., at the age of minety- four (1900) : At the time Danbury, Conn., was burnt, her grandfather lived a few miles north of that place, and he, with his three sons, Nathaniel, Joseph, and Hezekiah, were called out with the militia to repel or capture the " Red Coats," who had succeeded in burning Danbury. A Tory family lived nearly opposite Joseph's house, and they opened their house and made preparations to welcome the British when they came ; but not so with the Eastman's. Abram Daton, the youngest, was sick at home with his mother, who, fearing harm, saddled the family horse, hitched him to the back door, put up some provisions and things she would need, intending to get the sick boy on to the horse and start for the hills as soon as the" Red Coats " came in sight. Soon she saw a single horseman coming, who niformed her the raiders had been captured and there was no more danger from them. The Tory family across the way shut their doors, closed their windows and were seen no more that day. Saphronia says her father was in the Revolutionary war three years, but no record of it is in the archives of Connecticut. She says also that he was a pensioner. 659. CHILDREN. i.

Finally he found one who said their parents were Joseph and Phebe Hendricks, and lived in Marshall, N. Y. Mrs. Saphronia Galpin, now over ninety years of age, says there were no such children in Joseph's family, but when the compiler obtains records from parties corroborative of other records he has, he is bound to believe there were such children. Miss Sands, of Meriden, Conn., had in her possession for a long time the name of Joseph's wife as Phebe Hend (the balance of the name torn off the records), and she supposed her name was Hendricks, because there were families by that name in Connecticut where Joseph lived, and one of the descendants of John (255) wrote the name in full, which was the first time we had her name spelled in full. John and Peter never lived in Marshall, N. Y. PETER EASTMAN, 5 OF ATTICA, N. Y. 2O3 256. Peter Eastman^ (Joseph-*, Peter^, Joseph-, Roger"), born ; died in Attica, N.

He served as a substitute for his brother Thomas, at the battle of Bunker Hill, and was for a number of years in the service. He was a pensioner till his death. While in the army he obtained information from the books of the army physicians that was of great importance to those afflicted with that sullen disease, the mumps, to which hundreds have testified. The secret has been in the possession of certain members of the family to this time. In the spring of 1791 he settled in Bow, N.

They stopped at Whitehall, N. Y., to visit Mrs. Eastman's parents or friends, the Harveys. They went on to Cleveland, where they found but few houses, perhaps a half dozen at that time, and here they crossed the Cuyahoga creek on a raft, where the viaduct is now. From here they started for their destination, and when they got as far as Parmalee there was no road, and the trees were marked for guidance. At night they could get no further with their team, and so had to leave their wagons and go the rest of the way, about twelve or fifteen miles, on horseback. They rode all night, and arrived in the morning. Here they found friends who went back with ox teams and managed to take their goods and wagons to where they settled.

There were ten lodges within sight of his house, and fully one hundred Indians living on the farm when he took possession of it.

Dr. Eastman spent his boyhood in Addison county> 19 266 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. Vt., and prepared for college in the academy at Middlebury, after which he entered the college at that place, being grad- uated in 1829. In 1880, his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of D, D., and about the same time he received the degree of S. T. D., from Trinity College, at Hartford, Conn. At Marblehead, Mass., he was ordained in 1834 to the priesthood, the impressive ceremony being performed in St. Michael's church by the Rt. Rev. Mr. Griswold, at that time bishop of the New England states, excepting Rhode Island. Dr. Eastman served as rector in churches of Massa- chusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New York, Vermont, Kansas, and Michigan, as well as in Canada. In politics he was a Democrat, with Prohibition sympathies. About fifty years ago he became a member of the Masonic order, belonging to the Commandery at Montpelier, Vt., and filled the position of Grand Prelate of the Grand Commandery of Vermont, for a period of two years. He took the Commandery degree at Saratoga, N. Y. He had also taken the fourteen degrees of the Scottish Rite Masonry, being a member of the Lodge of Perfection. For a number of years he held fraternal rela- tions with the I. O. O. F. In 1884, he removed to Michi- gan and became pastor of the Holy Trinity Mission, at Ben- ton Harbor, there being no church edifice there at that time. Through his efforts funds were secured, and a comfortable brick church was erected, and he remained its pastor until June, 1 89 1, when he retired from the ministry, after having spent fifty-seven years in pastoral work. Dr. Eastman went to pay a visit to his native place in 1891, after giving up active work in the ministry, and while there he suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, and was for some time quite ill. He returned home as soon as able to travel. In June, 1895, he suffered another shock of paralysis, from which he never recovered. The following September he fell and broke his ankle, which was a severe shock to his enfeebled constitution.

William Patrick, Dec. 30, 1823, Dorothy DeP'orrest, born in Canterbury, N. H., May 30, 1796, died in East Concord, July 8, 1836; 2d, Lucinda Buswell, who survived him and married Deacon James Carlton. Dorothy DeP'orrest was a perfect blonde. She was too pretty, her husband said, to be smoked up over a fireplace, and so the first cooking-stove came to East Concord. She was, however, a very domestic woman, a great economist, and tireless worker. Mr. P^ast- man was a man of extensive business. He inherited his father's large and fertile farm, and also manufactured plaster, and ran a grist and bark mill besides. The old home, just across the track at East Concord railroad station, is still standing. They were members of the Congregational church, and among its most generous supporters. In fact, it was so unusual a thing that none of them attended service, that it is said the family horse, one Sunday morning, not being called on as usual, broke from the pasture, took his accustomed place, and remained quietly during the service, and then trotted home. Mr. Eastman was the prime mover in the Sewall's Falls canal enterprise, and the failure of that project by the opening of the Boston & Montreal Railroad, swept away one half of his wealth. The old ditch is still to be seen west of the railroad track. His second wife, Miss Lucinda Buswell, of Windham, Vt., dispensed the most generous and dignified hospitality until a good old age.

He was obliged to remain in Urbana nearly a year to recover his health, after which he went down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Natchez, where he taught a large and successful school. Here he became converted, and was baptized in the " Eather of W'aters " and became a member of the Baptist church. He was soon afterward licensed to preach. Erom there he went to Philadelphia, where he studied theology with Dr. Stoughton, then eminent in the denomination, and pastor of the Samson-street church in Philadelphia. He received an appointment from the Foreign Missions to preach in Missis- sippi and Louisiana, and was for a time very successful, but was stricken down with yellow fever, and after partial re- covery, with congestion and bilious fever, in which he was quite given up to die, he said, "After I had familiarly shaken hands with death, I was suffered to crawl up a few steps from the borders of the grave among the living." Then fever and ague took hold of him, and he in desperation barely escaped from the country with his life. After recruiting somewhat he became pastor of a Baptist church in Cincin- nati, O., where he spent three years of great pleasure and prosperity, but ill health coming upon him again he was obliged to resign his charge. Then he spent a year at the mineral springs in Harrodsburg, Ky. From there he went to New York city, where he planted the Stanton-street church, since become one of the largest and most flourishing churches in the city. There he remained several years, when again, on account of failing health, he returned to his native town 328 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. with the intention of spending the remainder of his hfe there. He built a pleasant home on a part of his father's farm, and spent a few years in gardening and farming in a small way. After preaching in Landaff and adjoining towns, and as his health improved, held pastorates in Haverhill and Meredith, N. H., and in Rutland and Groton, Vt. In 1844 he removed to Wisconsin, and .died there. He was highly esteemed as a preacher ; was a fine scholar for the times ; made special study of French, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and was well versed in medical science, and had a remarkable retentive memory, being able to repeat page after page from his favorite authors.

As a result of pious training, Mr. San-1 \ FANNY EASTMAN^ OF LANDAFF, N. H. 329 born early felt attracted to the ministry, and joined the Methodist church at i8 years of age. In order to test his convictions, he preached one year at his own expense ; his labors proving successful, he joined, in 1812, the Methodist Conference. From that time until 1850, he gave himself up to his life work, filling, in thirty-eight years of ministerial duty, many important pulpits in New England. He preached in Portland, Me., in Exeter, N. H., and in Providence, R. I. He was for four years presiding elder in the New Hampshire district. In Massachusetts, he preached in many cities. After his regular labors as a pastor had ceased, he continued frequently to occupy the pulpit until 1863, closing his minis- terial career where he began it, fifty-two years before. As a pulpit orator he had marked ability ; a man of dignity and of noble stature, fine voice, clear thought, and impressive utter- ance. In business affairs he was a model of punctuality and good faith. The soul of honor himself, it grieved him much to hear of improvidence, of business dishonor, or even of apparent disregard of pecuniary obligations, in any one bear- ing the Christian name. By strict economy he was able often to fill out from his own limited means, the inadequate salaries so common in his time. During all his career, he contributed to the charities of his church, and never, even in his old age, received any aid from them. A stalwart and brave religious teacher, he belonged to that heroic age of the New England Methodist church, and was prominent among the moral heroes of his day.

William T,^6 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. 00 K. received his education first at the town school of Lou- don, and afterwards attended the high school at Concord for several winters. At the age of seventeen he served an apprenticeship of one year in the bakery of Horn & Robert- son, of Concord. He then went to Limerick, Maine, and spent two years learning the trade of tanner and currier. At twenty he went to Conway and built a tannery. In 1816, he returned to Loudon, and on Dec. 8, 18 16, married Rhoda Messer, daughter of John and Olive (Ladd) Messer. She was born at Salem, N. H., Aug. 18, 1797. They went at once to Conway and in two years moved into the house which was their home for fifty-four years and where all of their children were born. The house is located on the principal street of the village, nearly opposite the church. It is a large two-story white structure, with green blinds, surrounded by large beautiful trees. There were ten acres of land about the house, most of which was in the rear, extending towards the Swift and Saco rivers. The view from the back of the house was superb, the mountains and intervales of Conway first com- ing into view, and in the distance the White mountains. In addition to the ten acre garden about the house Mr. East- man had a good farm, about fifty acres, on the intervale, which was always highly cultivated. He continued in the tannery business, to which he added shoemaking and harness making until about the year 1835, when he opened a general merchandise store, and continued in the trade for a number of years. He built a paper mill, which, after running two weeks, burned, when he built a second and ran the business for many years. He was deputy sheriff for nine years ; he represented the town of Conway in the legislature for two terms, beginning 1842, being elected on the Democratic ticket. In June, 1842, he introduced and had passed a bill to incorporate the " South Conway Seminary," which was established soon after. This WILLIAM KIMBALL EASTMAN^, OF LOUDOX, K. H. 337 institution became quite celebrated, and educated many who afterwards became quite distinguished. The first principal was a Mr. Walsh, who was for some time interpreter to Napo- leon. Mr. Eastman also held many other positions of honor and trust, such as lieutenant in the militia, selectman, juryman, coroner, and was several times delegate from Carroll county to the Democratic state convention. Many anecdotes are related of the married life of Mr. and Mrs. Eastman, among which was an eventful trip to Con- cord, in June, 1825, to meet General LaFayette. Another was the terrible catastrophe to the Willey family, Mr. East- man being the first man on the ground after it occurred. On May 14, 1870, Mrs. Eastman died, and ten years later Mr. Eastman sold his estate in Conway, and moved to Min- neapolis, where he made his home with his son, Haskett D. Eastman. On Oct. 18, 1887, Mr. Eastman died. In the Minneapolis Saturday Evening Spectator of Oct. 22, 1887, appeared the followed article, written by the talented Viola F. Miner : " A PATRIARCH DEPARTED. " In the death of the venerable William K. Eastman, in his ninety-fourth year, not only the relatives and intimate friends of the deceased, but all who were so fortunate as to know him, have sustained a deep loss. And yet, dearly as he was beloved, his death was singularly free from those scenes of gloom and of anguish which nearly always shroud the portal of the tomb. He, rather, seemed to go up the shining way, and there remain behind him some rays of the glorious light into which he has entered. "Mr. Eastman's birthplace was Loudon, N. H., but he belonged to the old family of Concord Eastmans, well known in New England for their high social position and respecta- bility. His boyhood and youth were spent in Concord, but 338 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. after he married Miss Rhoda Messer, he settled in Conway, N. H., where the greater part of his long and useful life was passed. Among Mr. Eastman's earlier business enterprises were the carrying on of a large tannery and a boot and shoe factory. Later, he built two paper mills and conducted a flourishing business for many years. During all this time, his industry and sobriety doubtless contributed to build up those lasting qualities of mind and body which so eminently distinguished him in his 'green old age.' " Besides attending to his own private affairs with commend- able zeal, Mr. Eastman was frequently called upon by his fellow citizens to occupy many public positions of trust and honor. For several years he was a respected member of the legislature of his native state. He was an old-time Demo- crat, and clung to his early predilections up to his latest day. When Cleveland was elected, the old gentleman sat down and wrote him a letter of congratulation, which the President honored with a personal reply from his own hand. He would have paid his respects to President and Mrs. Cleveland during their recent visit to our city, had his strength permitted. Twenty years ago Mr. Eastman and wife happily cele- brated their golden wedding at the old home in Conway. At the same time he united with the Methodist church of that place, though before his death he was led to accept the Swedenborgian faith. But he never forgot the old church, and only a few days ago sent the officers a check for a thou- sand dollars. And only the other day, also, he sent in his seventy-third annual subscription to the Nciv Hampshire Patriot. " A few years after the death of his wife became to Minne- apolis in order to be with his children, all of whom had gradually established homes in this city, principally on the East Side and Nicollet Island, John W. Eastman coming first in the year of '54. He had four sons and four daughters : Haskett D., John W., William W., Mrs. Annette Thompson Wn.I.IAM K1.MUALL EASTMAN^', OF I.Ol'DON, N. 11. 339 (deceased), Mrs. D. A. Secombe, Mrs. C. C. Eastman, Mrs. John DeLaittre, and George H. Eastman. " Although an old gentleman when he came to Minneapo- lis, Mr. Eastman has, nevertheless, taken a li\cly interest in the affairs of the city, and has made a host of devoted friends. His vigorous health and temperate habits preserved his mental and physical forces to a wonderful degree, and enabled him to pass his old age in comfort and happiness. He had that rare faculty of passing through life without worrying. In company he was always genial and entertain- ing, one of those choice spirits who help to make life worth living. One of his grandsons. Dr. Arthur Eastman, of St. Paul, had a photograph taken a few months ago in which four generations were represented. " Eor some weeks past Mr. Eastman suffered a good deal of pain. There was no disease — there was a general break- ing down of the tissues as a result of old age ; but his mind was perfectly bright and clear to the last, and he often expressed himself as contentedly ' v/aiting for the Master to call.' At the last, all was painless, and he sweetly sank to sleep like a tired child — fitting end of a well-spent life. " John \V. Eastman left for the East, Wednesday night, and accompanied the remains to the old home at Conway, where the friends of other days will help lay them to rest amid the scenes of his youth and manhood. When another spring smiles upon the New England hills, his grave will be green, but we know that " Dust thou art, to dust returnest, AVas not spoken of the sou].'" CHILDREN BORN IN CONWAY, N. II.

The following obituary notice was printed in the Pioneer Press, of March 2, 1882, on the death of Mrs. Charles M-. Thompson : "END OF A NOBLE LIFE. " In the death of Mrs. Charles M. Thompson, the daughter of Mr. W. K. Eastman, and sister of John, Haskett, William and George Eastman, and of Mrs. David Secombe, Mrs. John DeLaittre, and Mrs. Caroline Eastman, and the foster mother of Mrs. George B. Eustis, of this city, the Pioneer Press is compelled to record the sorrowful ending of a truly noble life. Mrs. Thompson was one of those lovely characters whom we too rarely meet, combining in her large and gener- ous nature the qualities of a devoted daughter, a faithful wife, an affectionate sister, a self-sacrificing mother, a loyal friend, and in every relation of life a refined and accomplished woman. Her death is the first to break the ranks of the children of this large and attached family, whose father is still among them at the ripe age of eighty-eight years, and who are inconsolable over their terrible loss. The close heart-ties that will be broken by the death of this lovely woman are many, and are included in a large circle of devoted friends who knew her but to love her." 1115. vi.

Mr. Eastman was born either in Conway, N. H., or Ffyeburg, Me., which latter place he settled in early. He was a farmer and lumberman ; a real live man, a man of business, keeping a large stock of cattle and horses and doing a large business lumbering during the winter time. In 1833, he built the first brick house in 368 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. Lovell. The brick he made himself at the old brick yard just above the center of the town. This house is now stand- ing on Eastman Hill, so named for him, has sheltered four generations of this family, and with its substantial founda- tion and thorough construction bids fair to remain many years to come, one of the ancient landmarks to which the coming generations may look upon the early cares and strifes of the pioneers of the town. Mrs. Eastman through life was a great worker and held in high esteem by her many friends. On Sept. 2, 1832, she became a member of the Congrega- tional church under its first settled pastor. Rev.

Stephen and Abigail Dresser. Mr. Eastman was a farmer, land surveyor and justice of the peace. He had held various town offices, and his continued services as town clerk from 1834 to 1842, have been of great value to many, as it was through his efforts that the town records contain so complete a list of the births and marriages and deaths of its inhabitants. Mr. and Mrs. Eastman did not know what it was to be a father and mother, but their love for children was so great that they adopted the following. 1223. i. 1224. ii. 1225. iii. 1226. iv.

They were buried in the, burial grounds in North Littleton, N, H. Mr. Rix went to Stanstead, Can., with his parents in 1799, and in 1802 returned to Bath, married there, and took his bride to Canada. While in Canada he had command of a militia regiment, and when the war broke out in 18 12, he, not having taken the oath of' allegiance to King George, refused to command the regiment. This was the regiment that was so fearfully cut up by "Yankee Miller" at Lundy's Lane. Mr. Rix, in consequence of the war, left Canada and returned to the States, to Lyman, N. H., where he remained about one year, when he removed to Littleton, N. H., where he purchased a tract of land in North Littleton, built, and settled there. He was employed in public affairs for many years. He represented the town in the New Hampshire legislature for the years of 1821 to 1827, inclusiv^e. He was counsellor under Governor Dinsmore's administration in 1832-3. Mr. Rix was related to Governor Dinsmore through his mother, Elizabeth Searle, whose mother was a sister of the governor's father. Mr. Rix was one of a committee to build the north MRS.

He was an early advocate of total abstinence ; register of deeds of Graf- ton county from 1835 to 1840, during which time he remo\'ed to Haverhill, the county seat, and between 1840 and 1850, represented Haverhill in the state legislature. He was Worshipful Master of Morning Lodge, No. 43, V. A. M., located at Waterford, Vt., in 1820-21. He never entered a lodge affer the "Morgan" affair, in 1826. His picture hangs on the walls of his old lodge, located in Littleton, N. H., under the old charter. His father, Nathaniel Ri.x, sen., was a Revolutionary soldier, and his grandfather, Nathaniel, was a Colonial soldier in 1745. On the books of the lodge in Waterford is a record of Nathaniel Rix as a visitor, and as there was no other Nathaniel Rix, sen., he must have been the father of Nathaniel Rix, of Littleton, though no record of his being a Mason can be found on the records of Stanstead Lodge, they being lost through the Morgan excitement in 1826.

When a child I stood by the rfver side And threw pebbles into the stream, While I watched the circles spread far and wide, Till they touched the far shore, oh, joy supreme ; And the thought is so sweet to me to-day, The thought of that time and my childhood's play. But a sweeter thought has come to me, 'Tis the thought of a circle of circles, our own. Spreading far and wide from sea to sea, From the sunny land to the frozen zone, A circles of circles like links in a chain. That calls for the best work of heart and brain ; Filling our souls with a noble desire For self-improvement, that we may rise By stepping-stones, yet higher and higher To loftier heights and fairer skies ; Gathering sheaves as we pass on our way. Freely bestowing them where'er we stray. There are many ways to do good unto all — Encouragement oft is more helpful than gold — In sharing their burdens, great or small. Forming true friendships that will ne'er grow cold, While hands clasp hands in the kindliest way And hearts are loving and true for aye. May this be our aim, as we journey along, To keep our lights burning like beacons so bright, That the sad will rejoice and will sing a glad song, And the lonely and weary come into the light ; Giving our aid unto all who come near, Filling their souls with glad hope and good cheer. And when the redeemed gather round God's throne On the earth made new and fair. In the beautiful city where sin is unknown — For Jesus our Savior reigns there — May our circle be found, an unbroken band. And dwell ever more in that beautiful land. ELVIRA B.

Y., Sept. 2, 1778 ; died Aug. 4, 1856, and was buried in St. Ann's, Gainsboro, Lincoln county, Ontario, where a beautiful monument commemorates the historic fact that he was the father of the Presbyterian churches of the Niagara and Gore districts, and that he served his Master faithfully and with eminent success for more than half a century. He married ist, Nov. 21, 1800, Elizabeth Hopkins, daughter of 349. vi. 350. vii. viii. ix. 406 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. Capt. Silas Hopkins of the British service, then living in Newark, N. J.; she died Oct. 9, 1844. He married 2d a widow Lowe, who died about 1856, when he married 3d a widow Hinton, who died Jan. 22, 1879. Mr. Eastman was converted when fourteen years old ; attended North Salem Seminary ; studied theology with the Rev. Mr. Lewis, of North Stamford, Conn., and later with Dr. Benedict, of New Jersey. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Morristown, N. J., March 18, 1800; preached at Elizabeth- town, Amity and Warwick. The oldest manuscript sermon of his extant bears date of Sept. 23, 1800. In May, 1801, Mr. Eastman started with a company of friends under the leadership of Captain Hopkins, his father-in-law, for Canada West. After about four weeks' journey across the state of New York, they crossed the Niagara river to St. Cathernes, where Mr. Eastman preached his first sermon in Canada, the first Sunday in July, 1801. At that time there were, besides him, only two Presbyterian ministers in all Upper Canada, Mr. Bethune at Williamstown, denary, and M. McDowell, Bay of Ouinte. Mr. Eastman first settled in Stamford and in June, 1802, moved on to a fifty acre farm of his own, near Beaver Dam, and soon after was ordained by the Presbytery, of Canandaigua, at Palmyra, N. Y., and soon after was authorized to solemnize marriages, and during the thirty years next ensuing, he married about three thous- and couples. At that time no other clergyman, except Mr. Addison of Niagara, a Church of England minister, was authorized to perform the marriage ceremony in the Niagara district. Between 1802 and 181 5, Mr. Eastman founded and mostly supplied the churches at Louth, Clinton, Gains- boro, Grimsby, Wellandport and Vienna, subsequently known as Mr. Eastman's seven churches. His labors, however, were not confined to these seven points, for he preached all over the Niagara peninsula from the Niagara river to beyond where Hamilton now stands. In 18 15, Mr. East- DANIEL WARD EASTMAN^ OF GOSHEN, N. Y. 4O7 man moved to Barton, where he lived four years, and preached as far west as London and Long Point, as well as eastward to Louth and Stamford, traveling sometimes fifty miles to an appointment. During the war of i8 12-14, Mr. Eastman was living at Beaver Dam. Most of the peninsular battles were fought near his home, and in the skirmish of Beaver Dam, his house was pierced by so many bullets that the family was compelled to take refuge in the cellar. On that occasion an Indian ally of the American forces decamped with the minister's horse, but was compelled by the American commander to restore him. Mr. Eastman was a member of the first Presbytery, of York, about 1820; it was short lived, soon expiring, but was revived about 1830, when he again became a member, but owing to differences between the old country members and the American Presbyterians, res- pecting the Westminster confession and Psalmody, he with- drew from all connection in 1833, and in May of that year assisted in the organization of the Niagara Presbytery of Upper Canada, which went to pieces in the McKenzie rebel- lion of 1836-7, many of the American members then leav- ing the country. In 1840, Mr. Eastman went onto the synod of the Presbyterian church in Canada in connection with the church of Scotland, and after its disruption in 1 844, he entered the F'ree church, and with his relations continued till the end of his ministry. In the latter part of his minis- try, he was greatly assisted by his son, William Osgood, who frequently filled his appointments, especially after his eye- sight began to fail him. This calamity began to threaten him about 1840, but he continued to preach till about 1850, when increasing blindness compelled him to desist from reg- ular labor and about 1856 became totally blind. To one of his active energetic habits and temperament, blindness was especially aflflicting. It was a trial to which he found it hard to become reconciled, but he won the victory at last and was able to say, "Thy will be done." Mr. Eastman's first wife 408 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. was the mother of ten children and she lived to see them all married and settled. The second wife was a most intelligent, amiable, and excellent woman, whose companionship and sympathy went far to render Mr. Eastman's blindness toler- able. She died of quick consumption. His third wife, also, was a most estimable woman ; though possessed of less edu- cation and refinement than the other wives, she proved a faithful and affectionate wife and her kindness and fidelity to Mr. Eastman commanded the respect of even those members of his family who opposed his third marriage. Rev. Mr. Eastman had a paralytic stroke about 1865, by which he was for a time completely deprived of the power of speech, having lost the memory of words, but regained language in about three months under the patient training of his daughter, Mrs. E. G. Emerson, of Rochester, N. Y., but his mind was never so vigorous as before. He died of apoplexy. CHILDREN. i. Daniel Ward, Jr.'^, b. ; d. young. ii. Sarah Maria'', b.

He was a very highly esteemed citizen, and made friends with whom he came in contact. He accumulated a good property, lived an industrious and useful life, reared his family in the way they should go, held the universal esteem of his fellow townsmen for his many acts of kindness to them, in accommodations in times of trouble, and general benevolence to the poor and destitute. He did not wait until his death and his children were old before assisting them, but distributed his patrimony with a just and even hand as they grew up and went for themselves or were married off, and the most beautiful and touching scenes of his life, reminding one of some ancient patriarch, was his going from home to home and spending weeks and months alternating between his sons and daughters, where he was ever received with open arms and loving hearts.

Dr. Eastman was a well educated man, but where he studied medicine or with whom it is impossible at this late day to determine, but it is evident he received an academic education, as his granddaughter, Mrs. A. P. Sigourny, of Watertown, N. Y., distinctly remembers of seeing his diploma. Immediately after his marriage he settled in Adams, N. Y., where he practiced his chosen profession as long as he lived. It is thought he was the first physician permanently settled in that town. There is a tradition about a Dr. Green previous to that time, but how long he stayed, or where he came from, or where he went to is not known. Dr. PZastman was highly esteemed, had an extensive practice, and so much were his professional services sought after, that for the two or three years previous to his death, after he was unable to drive him- self, people from the surrounding country having severe cases of sickness in their families came in their carriages and took him to their homes where they kept him until the result was known. He was a surgeon in the war of 18 12-14, was at the battle of Sackett's Harbor. CHILDREN ALL BORN IN ADAMS, N. Y. 1373. i. Charles William', b. April 21, 1811. 1374. ii. Lucy Ann^ b.

Hezekiah was bound out until he was twenty-one years of age, to William Leach, of the town now known as Sherman. Here Hezekiah stayed his full time, and perhaps more, as it is said Mr. Leach fooled the boy out of one year's time by pretend- ing he was born in 1790. Hezekiah was a fine singer in his day, and led the singing in the church in New F"airfield many years. He and his wife were both members of the Metho- dist church in New Fairfield, where he was a class leader. He was a farmer, and lived at first on the farm called the "David Wakeman " place, which place was the last on the road leading to Ball's pond from the part called "The Bogs." His wife's father lived on the next farm above, and this farm came into possession of Hezekiah through his wife. Later he bought the lower farm (where he lived first), so eventually owned them both. Hezekiah was drafted into the army in 181 2, and assigned to Capt. Charles Parks' company, and was stationed at Bridgeport, Conn. Time in service from July 14 to Sept. 9, 18 14.

For many years he was counsel for the Boston & Maine Railroad, and conducted its business before the New Hamp- shire legislature, where contests with other railroads were numerous and bitterly fought. He has been associated with, as partners at various times, Hon. Elijah M. Topliff, Hon. Ira Allen Eastman, his father in law, Hon. Henry E. Burnham, and Hon. David A. Taggart, and no office in the 32 450 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA. state for the last forty years has had so many law students as his. In 1852 and 1853 he was city sohcitor, and in 1848- 49-56-76 and y^j, he was a member of the legislature from Manchester. In 1856 he was appointed judge of probate for Hillsborough County, which office he held until 1874. He was also United States pension agent for the district of New Hampshire from 1865 to 1872. During all the time he held these offices he continued in the practice of law. Judge Cross has held various offices in the financial institutions of the city. He has been one of the directors and vice-presi- dent of the First National Bank of Manchester since its organization in 1865, and later its president. Judge Cross is endowed with a sound physical constitution, strong and active mental powers, good judgment, and excellent common- sense. Add to these a cheerful temper, a cordial and engag- ing manner, and a genial good nature, and we have the secret of his success. In politics he has always been an ardent Republican, and was a delegate to the Baltimore convention of 1864 that nominated Lincoln and Johnson. Judge Cross is living to-day (1900), a rugged old gentleman of the old school. CHILDRKN. i. Clarence Eastman Cross^ b. Jan. 22, 1860; d. Jan. 11, 1881.

He sold his interest in the Green Brook farm in East Kingston in 1826, which was to be divided between him and his sister Susan and her husband, Moses Morse. The same year he removed to Canaan, Me., taking his parents with him. In 1831 he removed the family to Harmony, Me., where his parents both died. Dr. Timothy Eastman studied medicine with Prof. Ingalls, of Boston, Mass., and graduated in 1822, and began practice at Canaan, Me. In 1835 he removed to Ottawa county, Mich., where he established the town of Polktown, afterwards changed to Eastmanville. The country was then a wilderness, the modes of conveyance primitive. He went as far as Buffalo by the Erie Canal, then but completed, thence by sailing vessel to Detroit, and the balance of the way by stage and birch-bark canoes. His family was the second white family to settle there. He was the first clerk of Ottawa county, and for several years associate judge of the circuit. He was a member of the Constitutional Conven- tion in 1850, and from time to time filled many important official positions. His colloquial powers were unsurpassed, and meet him wherever you would, he was always the center of attraction, owing to his richly stored mind, and the happy faculty which he possessed of interesting others and express- ing himself. In 1858 he prepared a genealogical chart of the Eastman family, which was revised in 1894, and which has been a great help in the present work. It was a source of regret that he could not make it more complete. Dr. East- man spent the last years of his life in Chicago, where some of his children resided. 460 EASTMAN FAMILY OF AMERICA.

JOSEPH EASTMAN^ OF UNION, N. H. 48/ Calef Oratorical Prize in Wesleyan University in 1862, was president of the Alumni Association of Wesleyan University from 1862 to 1866, was trustee of that institution from 1862 to 1880, and lecturer on constitutional law in Wesleyan Uni- versity in 1878. Judge Calef had a large practice in the state and United States courts. Aside from his law business he was for some years president of the Middletown Gaslight Company, and a director in several financial institutions. He was a well-known Mason, having served as grand junior war- den of the grand lodge of the state of Connecticut. In Mid- dletown, where Judge Calef resided and spent so many years of his life, he held the respect of its citizens for the many sterling qualities that mark an upright man. He was a credit to himself and an honor to the institutions with which he was connected. Having practically retired from legal business, he accepted at the earnest solicitation of friends the position of referee of bankruptcy under the new United States bank- ruptcy law. Judge Calef took a great deal of interest in the genealogy of the Eastman family, and spent a good deal of time and money in searching records, especially the old land and probate records at Exeter. Among the probate records was found the will of Thomas Eastman, whose wife was Abigail Erench, which establishes beyond a doubt his line of ancestry. He died Aug. 17, 1900.
