PREFACE.

As long ago as 1866 the present compiler of the Pillsbury Gen
ealogy became interested in tracing her line of maternal ancestors,
and all items of family history -which came in her -way -were carefully
preserved. Iu the summer of 1879 occurred one of the earliest of those family
reunions -which have since become so popular throughout Ne-w England,
that of the Emery family of Ne-wT^ury ; thenceforth it became a
darling plan to have a similar gathering of the Pillsburys.
The genealogy had grown but slowly in these years, but in the
summer of 1881, through the medium of a mutual friend, also a mem
ber of the family, the acquaintance of Mr. David B. Pilsbury, of
Reading, was made.
This gentleman had been at work for two or three years, as time
and means permitted, on a history of the family, and the two would-be
annalists at once joined forces. Failing health and strength in the
winter of 1886 compelled Mr. Pilsbury to give up his labors and
leave the genealogy to be finished by his coadjutor. He died in the
spring of 1886, and it seemed more than ever desirable to have a
reunion of members of the Pillsbury family and endeavor to interest
them as a whole in the carrying out of the work so well begun. In
September, 1888, this was accomplished, and the plan of completing
and publishing the genealogy unanimously adopted.
Nearly one-third of the history was finished before Mr. Pilsbury's
death. His fellow worker had been unable to discuss with him many
points connected with his researches, and of the sources of much of
his information she was uncertain. There were possible errors,
omissions and perhaps misstatements, but all that could be done
was to 1ft them pass and print the record as it stood.
The genealogy is far from complete. Perhaps some one in the
next generation will take it in hand and issue an improved and en
larged edition. Many families are known to exist in the East and
¦West whom it has been impossible to reach. Of many in the earlier
generation no record could be found ; they had died and left no
memory behind them.
Others in the later, through ignorance or indifference, perhaps
both, persistently ignored all enquiries as to their ancestry, however
courteously put. Perhaps like the immortal Topsy, they grew spon
taneously. That there are errors of omission and commission in the
present work is not denied ; a genealogy or town history free .from
them is yet to be written. The writer only begs the indulgence of
her readers. No one who has not attempted to compile a family historj' can
form any idea of the time, patience, perseverance and pluck which
goes into the carrying out of the work, and of the thought and pains
taking, for which no money return can ever compensate.

iv PREFACE.
The genealogist who loves his task, undertakes it not altogether
for filthy lucre's sake, though " Should requital come,
' Twill be like all good things, acceptable,"
The compiler returns thanks to all friends who have assisted in
the work with purse or suggestions drawn from personal experience,
and to those who have contributed by letter or otherwise, any in
formation. Not the least among the rewards for labor done, has been the
acquaintance of kindred wanderers down the corridors of by-gone
days. Emily A. Getchei,i..

EXPLANATIONS.

The method employed in preparing this genealogy is that followed
by the New England Historic-Genealogical Society. William Pillsbury
is the first generation, his children the second, grandchildren the
third, great-grandchildren the fourth, and so on. Thej' are numbered
in order on the left hand of the page, and the family of each son and
daughter, when the record of that son or daughter is had, will be
found under the number they have in the margin. These numbers
r,efer forward and back. Names and dates are given as found on
record or received in letters. All towns are iu Massachusetts when
not otherwise indicated. b. signifies born; bapt,, baptized; m,,
married, d,, died ; unm,, unmarried.
Persons inheriting the Pillsbury name in right of birth have an
index of their own. The figures attached to each Christian name
denote the page on which that name occurs, sometimes more than
once. Persons bearing other names than Pillsbury have a distinct index,
in which the figures attached to the surname denote the page on
which the individual may be found. Children of a mother born
Pillsbury, and father of another name, have neither number nor page,
but must be sought through the Christian name of the mother or sur
name of the father.
It was the intention to have the history end with the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of William Pillsbury in New-
England, which was celebrated 3 Sept, 1891, and in the main this rule
has been adhered to. The publication of the history having been
deferred longer than was at first expected, it has allowed the entrance
of a number of deaths, a few marriages and births, chiefly those
making the eleventh generation of descendants.

BY THE NAME OF PILLSBURY.

The surnames (or sire-names) of the first emigrants to
Ne-w England, were derived from various sources. Those
considered most ancient and respectable were derived
from places, cities and towns as in almost every case they
existed in England long before the use of surnames.
In the subsidy rolls in the Record office, London,
bearing date of 1333, we find the follo"wing, sho-wing from
the very few early rolls how family names originated :
"Edward IV. commanded that each individual should
take upon himself a separate surname either of his trade
or faculty or some quality of his body or mind or of the
place -where he dwelt, so that every one might be dis
tinguished from the other. "
Pilsbury is the union of two words ' ' pile " or " peel ' ' ,
and "burgh' ' or " borough. ' ' I/Ower, in his ' ' Patronymica
Brittannica," thus defines them :
" Burgh, SL component syllable in many local surnames.
It is the Anglo Saxon ' burji, ' ' bureh, ' etc., a word com
mon to most German dialects. Its meaning appears to be '
that which Richardson assigns, viz.: ' A place of defence
or security. ' The word occurs very largely in local
nomenclature as a prefix or termination, sometimes in the
middle of a name, and in variously modified forms, as
' brough, ' ' berry, ' 'bury, ' ' barrow, ' etc."
'¦'¦Pile., or Peel, a fortified farmhouse, built on the border
for securing the inhabitants and their cattle in moss-troop-
. ing times."
In the valley of the Dove, one of the loveliest spots
ih England, on the boundary between Derbyshire and
Staffordshire, one hundred and. fifty miles north of
London, and between thirty and forty southeast of Liver
pool, nestles the little hamlet of Pilsbury or Pilsbury
Grange ; a cluster of grey stone buildings embowered in
shrubbery and lofty trees. It is a portion of the seven

vi BY THE NAME OF PILLSBURY.
hundred acres owned by the Duke of Devonshire, whose
eldest son takes his title. Lord Hartington, from the
parish in which Pilsbury is situated. Rev. Mr. Fylde,
vicar of Hartington, states that ' ' Pilsbury formerly be
longed to Merivale Abbey in Warwickshire, a foundation
of Cistercian monks. " Grange is a title always applied
to a farmstead belonging to a religious community.
" A favorite manner by which the churchmen peopled the patri
mony of their convents, was by conferring small portions of the
Abbey lands upon vassals and their heirs held for a small quitrent.
These were called feus, and the -possessors feuars.
The residence of these church vassals was usually in a small village
or hamlet, where for the sake of mutual aid and protection some
thirty or forty families dwelt together. Their habitations -vs'ere not
less primitive than their agriculture. In each small village or town
were several small towers, having battlements projecting over the side
walls, and usually an advanced angle or two with shot holes for flank
ing the doorway, which was always defended by a strong door of oak
studded with nails, and often by an exterior grated door of iron.
These small peel-houses were ordinarily inhabited by the principal
feuars and their families, but upon the alarm of approaching danger,
the whole inhabitants thronged from their own miserable cottages
which were situated around, to garrison these points of defense,"
[See Sir Walter Scott's romance of "The Monastery." -Vol, i.
Chap. I.]
This was in all probability the origin of the little ham
let on the banks of the Dove. Its inhabitants took their
patronymic from the stronghold which sheltered them :
"Thomas of the Peel-house ; William of the Peel-house ;
Richard of the Peel-house, etc. "
With the transmutation of time and circumstance the
surname, or " sirename, " suffered a change into "Peels-
bury ; Peelsborough ; Pilles burie." Its bearers, -with the
Reformation and dawning of a better civilization, from
church vassals became their o-wn masters and persons of
substance. Yeomen in the beginning, without armorial
bearings, they yet intermarried with more fortunate
families, and later on must have been numbered among
the gentry.
When Pilsbury Grange was visited in August, 1897,
by the president of the Pillsbury family association, one
of the occupants of the farmstead in showing him over the
premises, pointed out a pile of moss gro-wn stones on the
top of a little elevation a short distance from the build-

BY THE NAME OF PILLSBURY. VU
ing, saying that it was a tradition of the neighborhood
that these were the remains of Pilsbury castle. It is more
likely that the fragments belonged to the old Peel-house
of moss trooping days.
No family bearing the name of Pilsbury has resided in
the Grange or its neighborhood in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant of the region. They seem to have gone
into the adjoining county of Stafford, and are also found
in Hertfordshire and Essex.
The Essex family bear arms -which are to be found in
Burke's Greater Armoury, and spell their name Pilborough
or Pillesborough.
In the parish of Hartington and the adjoining parish of
Leek, Staffordshire, the other side of the river Dove, the
name is now usually spelled Spilsbury, a corruption of as
early a date as 1600.
Joshua Coffin, the historian of Newbury, Mass., in that
part of his volume devoted to the genealogy of the first
settlers of the town, makes this statement regarding
William Pillsbury, or Peelsbury as it is spelled in
Rawson's deed, who became a resident of Ne-wbury
sixteen years after its settlement: "He came, tradition
says, from Staffordshire." It would be deeply interesting
to know whence the tradition was derived.
In the year 1891 the present compiler obtained through
an agent in England copies of a collection of Pillsbury
wills which had been discovered among the archives of
the Consistory Court of Coventry and Lichfield. The
testators -were all residents of the parish of Leek, North
Staffordshire. The oldest of these documents bears
date of 1544, and the name William Pilsbury very-
frequently occurs all through them, as testator, legatee,
witness or executor. The full text of these wills may be
found with notes and comments in Vol. 31, Essex
Institute Historical Collections, published in Salem,
Mass., 1895. Two wills are here printed.

Attention is especially called to the above -will. The
testator is William Pilsbury. His eldest son whom he
cuts off with the traditional shilling is named William
Pilsbury. The will is proved 3 Sept. 1640. It is a
curious coincidence that nine months later, i June 1641,

one William Pillsbury should be present before a New
England court of justice charged with a misdemeanor ;
could the culprit have been identical with the eldest son
of the Staffordshire husbandman?
John Sleigh, barrister of the Inner Temple, London,
made a history of the Ancient Parish of Leek. He had
access to the Harleian and Cottonian manuscripts in the
British Museum, and the deed-box of the Duke of
Westminster. He gives long pedigrees of the ' ' county
families" living in Leek parish, with their coats of arms.
Among them were the Davenports. "Ralph Daven
port, of Tetteswortli, buried at Leek, 1585, had a
daughter Margaret, who married R. Pilsbury. Ralph
Davenport, son of Richard Davenport, of Tetteswortli,
will proved 1616, had a daughter Margaret, who married
Edmund Pillsbury. "
Another of the county families was the Washington.
Their arms are identical with those of the "Father of his
country." From the marriage register preserved at St.
Edward's church. Leek, we learn that "29 Sept. 1634,
Benjamin Pillsbiirye married Anne Washington. 15
March 1636, John Pillsbury married Alice Washington. "
Other Pillsburj^ items are to be found in Sleigh's
history: " William Bateman de Pilsbury, gent., under-
sheriff to Henry Cavendish, Esq., 1580, obiit 1616, wife
Joanna. John Pilsburye, of Roache Grange, yeoman,
made trustee of a chapel by Ralph Bagenall, knight.
(This chapel built in 1562, is still standing in the
village of Meerbrook, a few miles from Leek.) Roache
Grange is a farm below the Roaches, four miles from
Leek. In the 14th year of James I, Edward Hollinshead

messuage, lands, etc., in Tettesworth ; Exchequer of Pleas,

16 shillings subsidy on lands. In the first year of Edward
VI, one Pyllesbury paid 20 shillings on lands. In some
old deeds the name appears as Pyllysburye. On a deed
31 March 1597 appears the name Robert Pillesburie.
19 July 1605 Lady Awdley granted tithes to Robert
Pillsburie. The church record says under date of 23
March 1783, Francis Pilsbury buried, said to be 102."

X BY THE NAME OF PILLSBURY.
In these old records and the wills previously cited, to
gether with those existing in New England, the family
name is found spelled in seventeen different ways. Con
troversy as to the correct number of L's in the first syllable
is plainly absurd.
Several members of the Pillsbury family have visited
the Grange within the past few years. One gentleman,
who with his daughter made a special journey thither
from London in Sept. 1894, thus writes :
' 'We first saw the Grange from the heights ; its two
grey three storied farmhouses and stone out buildings
embowered in lofty trees made a charming picture. The
Grange is at the eastern side of a high grove, and on the
side of a high hill in a narrow valley. The place is one
of surpassing beauty with its ancient heavily-walled
gardens and encircling groves. There was an old sundial
in the yard.
"I remember those gardens of the Grange with a sense
of translation to a distant past, though they did not differ
essentially from other gardens in the neighborhood. We
had ample opportunity for observation as we went along
the lanes opening barred gates every few rods, for the
Grange is half a mile from the highway."
Whether the yeoman who came to the new world with
the last of the great English emigration, 1640- 1, before
the Civil War, was from Leek or Hartington, is a problem
which seems little likely of solution, alas !
The contrast between the hills and breezy moors of
Staffordshire, and the sandy shores, low-lying marshes
and pine woods of Massachusetts Bay, must have been
very great, and imagination asks if the heart of the
emigrant never failed or was weary for a sight of the old
family landscape.

which it is separated by lichen-covered stone walls and
fences, with grassy spaces surrounding it, starred in the
springtime with dandelions and daisies, and shadowedhere
and there with knarled and knotty old apple trees. Not
facing the thoroughfare, but turned almost at right angles
from it, as if indifferent to the clatter and rush of this nine
teenth century life, so absorbed in its own memories it
recks not the passage of seasons which make its weather
worn sides more and more gray and crumbling and its
timbers bend from the firm lines they once knew.

native forests, to make strong and comely the dwelling a

xiv AN OLD HOME AND ITS ROMANCE.
3^oung lover was rearing for his bride, saw William and
Mary upon the throne of England, the Bourbon lilies in
all their pride waving from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to
the Mississippi, while the slender, straggling line of
English settlements were a mere fringe along the Atlantic
seaboard. Here, — though the exact location of the house is un
known, — when the town of Newbury was in its infancy,
a little hamlet lying in its woodlands, with the rough,
lonely roads stretching out in various directions, uniting it
with neighbor settlements, lived Edward Rawsoii, gentle
man ; town clerk of Newbury from 1638 to 1650, and
afterwards a man prominent in the affairs of the Massachu
setts Bay colony.
He was Secretary under Gov. John Endecott, and his
name figures prominently in the persecution of the Quakers
under the rule of that stern Puritan.
Mr. Whittier's prose and verse have contributed largely
to immortalize his share in the doing of that rough time,
for which see "Cassandra Southwick," "The King's
Missive," and the charming story of New England life
two hundred years ago, " Margaret Smith's Journal."
Rawson removed from Newbury to Dorchester in 1650.
There he seems to have become acquainted among others
with a young man named William Pillsbury, who had
been residing in the town for some years and evidently
wished to remove to a new locality. Rawson owned several
hundred acres of land in Newbury, and the two had doubt
less small difficulty in making a bargain, or perhaps more
truly an exchange, as Pillsbury paid down only a small
sum in cash for his new home, the remainder of the pur
chase money being in the form of security which family
tradition states was real estate in Dorchester.
Considering the severity of the New England winters
and the difficult roads, William Pillsbury with his family
and household goods could hardly have been settled in
their new home before late in the following spring. I
have often tried to picture to myself their slow, weary
journey through the wilderness over the road laid out
along the coast in 1638, and wondered how many days
they were on the way ; and, standing on the spot where

AN OLD HOME AND ITS ROMANCE. XV
my grandfather considered the original house must have
stood, have stretched my imagination to the utmost in
making a mental picture of that home and its surroundings.
Not the faintest tradition remains as to whether they
had any or near neighbors. It would seem, however, that
in course of time Poors, Toppans, Titcombs, Atkinsons
and others took up their abode in the surrounding region,
so their first loneliness was diminished.
Their place of worship was what is now known as the
First Church in Newbury, about two miles away along
the winding, forest-bordered road which connected the
upper settlement with the lower, and in 1669 the town was
stirred to its limits and beyond by the ecclesiastical diffi
culties existing in Mr. Noyes' meeting. The pot had been
bubbling for four years, and now boiled over.
The contest turned upon that vital question in church
and state, In whose hands is the power of governnient
rightly lodged? Ought, or ought not, the majority to
govern ? The whole church and town were in a very ex
cited and unbrotherly frame of mind on account of a real,
or supposed, infringement of their rights and privileges as
men and Christians.
The church was divided into two parties : one called
Mr. Parker's or the minister's ; the other Mr. Woodman's,
from Mr. Edward Woodman, a man of influence, firmness
and decision. To the latter William Pillsbury and his
eldest son. Job, belonged.
Mr. Parker's party held that the minister was all su
preme in matters of doctrine. "The church was to be
carried, not to carry ; to be subject, not to govern."
Mr. Woodman's party declared this to be fiat tyranny,
and that Mr. Parker was fain to set up a prelacy and have
more power than the pope. So the dispute raged until the
business was taken into the courts for the civil authority
to decide. Their verdict was against Mr. Woodman's
party, the members of which were fined sums varying as
it would seem according to their individual prominence.
William and his son were fined a noble each, equivalent to
six shillings and eight pence.
A full account of this episode may be found in Coffin's
History of Newbury.

xvi AN OLt) HOME AND ITS ROMANCE.
At his death, in 1686, William Pillsbury left the home
farm to his eldest son. Job. Job in turn divided it between
his two sons Daniel and Josiah, the former of whom soon
bought out the latter and held the whole in his own
hands. Job in his will dated August, 1716, gives his " share in
the new house to my son Daniel, and my old house and
the shop to my son Josiah."
Judging from the foundation of a chimney discovered
in digging post holes for a new fence, my grandfather
formed the opinion that the ' ' old house ' ' above mentioned
must have stood on that spot ; while the ' ' new house ' '
was the one whose history I am relating, placed twenty
feet or more distant, and which my grandfather always
affirmed was built four years before his great-grandfather
was born, the said great-grandfather being Joshua, eldest
son of Daniel and Sarah (Allen) Pillsbury, born 11 Feb
ruary, 1704; thus fixing the date of erection as A. D. 1700.
It consisted of a chimney ten feet square in the centre,
a room twenty feet square on either side, with chambers
the same size above them, and lastly an attic. The sides
of the house were covered like the roof with shingles
painted red, while the windows, family tradition states,
were originally diamond-paned. The front yard was open
to the road, the family woodpile rose before the further
front windows, the well was in line with it a little distance
away from the house. My grandfather has told me that
the first well dug was never stoned, and so after the lapse
of a few years caved in, when a second well was sunk in
a more workmanlike manner just where the large old
appletree now stands, near the angle of the fence next the
road. This remained until 1809 when my great-grand
father filled it up and dug the well in use at present!'
The domicile must have been a quaint looking affair
standing by the lonely winding road, which could have
been little better than, a cart-track, a veritable outpost of
civilization, its nearest and only neighbors being Samuel
Poore's house at the foot of what is now Woodland street,
and Jacob Toppan's house on Toppan's lane.
Joshua Pillsbury, son of Daniel and Sarah, married in
1731, Mary, daughter of Abiel Somerby, the parish clerk

AN OLD HOME AND iTS ROMANCE. XVli
of the First Religious Society of Newburyport, and great-
granddaughter of Anthony Somerby, the first schoolmaster
of Newbury. He seems to have brought his bride home
to his father's house and set up housekeeping on the
opposite side of the chimney from his parents. Pour sons
and three daughters came one after another to bloom
around their table.
How these large families managed to bestow themselves
by night it is hard to conceive. My grandmother has told
me that it was usual to put four beds in each of the
chambers. The saying, "As thick as three in abed,"
must have had its origin about that time.
Joshua was a prosperous man and able to put his money
into the ventures of the day. He was one of the original
proprietors of the town of Boscawen, N. H., owning large
tracts of land there and in the adjoining township of
Warner. He also owned land in Maine in the vicinity of
Saco and Biddeford, and doubtless was in the habit
of sending his sons to look after his property, as his
second son Joshua, Jr., born 1738, brought home a bride
behind him on a pillion from one of these excursions, in
1764 — Rebekah Witham of Pepperellboro'.
His younger brother Samuel had married the preceding
year, 1763, Mary, daughter of Kent the maltster, and had
made a home where the silver factory now stands near the
foot of Oakland street.
Again there was upheaval and moving in the home-nest
and Joshua and Rebekah set up their household goods in
the room nearest the road.
Little ones came to them as rapidly as in the preceding
generation, and when with the birds and flowers of the
summer of 1782, the maternal prophecy came for the ninth
time to the busy mother, she took counsel with her
husband that some room for overflow must be provided,
and so in the intervals of harvesting the two-story L at
right angles to the main house was built, and here little
MoUie Pillsbury first saw the light in January, 1783. She
was the youngest of six sisters, Sally, Rebekah, Lois,
Eunice and Phebe, being her seniors. I often picture to
myself my great-great-grandmother and her daughters
busy about the household duties of the day. The large

room with its low ceiling, whitewashed walls, unpainted
woodwork, and sanded fioor ; I hear the whirr of the
spinning-wheel, the clatter of the loom ; and the great
back-log sends a shower of crackling sparks up the
chimney's wide black throat as my ancestress rakes out a
bed of live coals in which, to set the Dutch oven that holds
a cake for the noonday meal. Suddenly a discordant
steam whistle from locomotive or tug boat dispels my
visions and brings me back to the nineteenth century.
The times that tried men's souls during the struggle for
American Independence left their mark on the dwellers in
the old house, for when the echo of the "shot heard round
the world" reached Newbury, eight companies of minute
men started for Cambridge, one of which under the com
mand of Capt. Moses Little, shows on its muster roll the
names of Joshua Pillsbury, private, together with his
cousin, Timothy Pillsbury, as lieutenant. His brother
Samuel appears to have joined the army at a later period,
as I find among the Revolutionary Rolls at the Mass. State
House a muster roll of Capt. Stephen Jenkins' company in
Col. Jacob Gerrish's regiment, sent to the army of His
Excellency General Washington, Oct., 1779, containing
the names of Moses Pillsbury, sergeant, and Jonathan and
Samuel, privates. They enlisted Oct. 14, 1779.
Samuel left a young wife and five children at home, and
a sixth -was added during his absence in the army ; family
tradition asserts that they were very poor, which is highly
probable. For many months during the year 1 780 nothing
was heard from the father and he was given up for dead,
when to the great joy of his family he returned with a tale
of adventure which delighted more than one generation,
and which his posterity repeat with pride to this day.
Let us picture him fighting his battles over again by the
fireside of his aged parents in the old house under the hill.
'Tis an autumn night at the close of the Revolution.
The flames from the high-piled logs leap merrily up the
throat of the Santa Clans chimney and light a semicircle
of earnest, listening faces from the grandsire of fourscore
to the babe in its mother's arms. Sally, the eldest daugh
ter, the promised bride of young Joseph Couch of b'os-

far off and she must carry a goodly plenishing with her
when she leaves her father's house.
Rebekah and Lois, the next sisters, are plying their
knitting needles, for winter is coming on and there are
many feet to cover.
Daniel and Joshua, sturdy lads in their teens, drink in
their uncle Samuel's words and make a series of pinches
the safety-valve for their excitement. And he tells them
the fresh and soul-stirring tale of the toils and sufferings
of the Continental anny, familiar to every student of
history in these days, but a wonderful interlude to those
secluded lives, while the personal experience of one inno
cently connected with the immortal treason of Benedict
Arnold makes the narration still more thrilling. He
relates how he and his companions rowed General Arnold
from West Point to the strange ship lying down the river,
and how to their terror and dismay they were forcibly
detained on board and carried prisoners to New York.
Of his interviews with the British commanders, and how
the sight of their gold pieces and the thought of the want
and privation at home seemed almost too much, some
times, for his patriotism ; but he had come back with
clean hands, God be thanked !
A low murmur passes round the circle ; the wheel and
the knitting-pins are at rest and the boys forget to pinch
each other. The wind sweeps with a roar down the
chimney where the great back-log has fallen asunder and
the brands fly out upon the hearth. It is nine o'clock.
" Henceforward, listen as we will,
The voices of that hearth are still ;
Look where we may, the wide earth o'er.
Those lighted faces smile no more.
We tread the paths their feet have worn,
We sit beneath their orchard trees.
We hear, like them, the hum of bees
And rustle of the bladed corn ;
We turn the pages that they read,
Their written words we linger o'er.
But in the sun they cast no shade,
No voice is heard, no sign is made.
No step is on the conscious floor ! "

hill. Sons and daughters have gone out from the fireside

one by one to make them, new homes of their own ; but a
new and darker shadow has settled down over the hearth
stone. The woeful burden of a disordered brain rests on
the father, and he sits through the long hours of the day
in the chimney corner turning the worn pages of his Bible
as if to find some refuge from the demon of doubt that
possesses him ; lingering longest over that strange Shemitic
poem of the chieftain of Uz and his three friends, despite
the advice of his wife, who bids him lay to heart David's
psalms rather than Job's sighs .and lamentations.
From the stories repeated to me about my great-great-
grandmother, I think she spoke from her own experience
as regarded the Psalms, and must have been a woman of
fortitude and strong common sense.
•Surely both were tried to the utmost when her son,
Joshua, who was her right hand in the trouble that had
fallen upon her husband, came home from the market
place one day and announced that his sweetheart, Betsy
Wood, had been taken with the small pox and he was
going to the pest-house with her to take care of her.
We of this present time can form no idea of the terror
and loathing connected with the name of small pox a
century ago. Hawthorne in his story of " Grandfather's
Chair," makes reference to it, and in Rev. Sylvester
Judd's story of " Margaret," is a like reference and also
some description of what a pest-house in the olden time
used to be.
Mention is made in Coffin's History of Newbury of pest
houses in t-yv^o different localities. My grandfather has
told me that the one to which his father and mother went
was at or near the foot of Toppan's Lane ; and that year
the cases of the disease being especially numerous, an
overflow hospital was established in a farmhouse on the
borders of West Newbury, to which place my great-grand
parents were assigned.
They had the plague lightly and showed but slight
traces of it in later years. Are the young men plentiful
nowadays who would dare so much for their lady-loves ?
Again a period of time passes over the old house. The
sad eyes of the father which looked so long through the
darkened glass have seen face to face for many a year.

The mother lives in the happiness of her children, for
Joshua and Betsy long ago took each other for better as
well as worse, and three sons and four daughters have
blest their union. It is a pleasant evening in the spring
time ; the door stands partly open and there are only a few
coals among the ashes on the hearth. A little company of
friends and neighbors are seated with the family in decor
ous silence, while in their midst the young minister of the
recently gathered church close by. Rev. James Miltimore,
lifts up his voice in prayer and exhortation.
A fever of emigration is agitating the community and
on the morrow Joshua Pillsbury with his family and house
hold goods start for a new home on a farm in Boscawen in
the far off wilderness of New Hampshire, an undertaking
as serious to the contented dwellers of those days as a jour
ney to Alaska now. So the minister, without whose
countenance hardly any enterprise was begun three-quarters
of a century ago, has been called in for a farewell blessing,
and with strange appropriateness addresses them from the
text, " If Thy presence go not with us, carry us not up
thence.^'' With the morrow's coming, the teams are loaded
up, the old mother bids them a sorrowful adieu, and away
they go up the winding High street, full of hope for the
future but destined never to return as they have gone forth.
In a little more than two years the father is laid to rest
under the shadow of the New Hampshire hills to be fol
lowed in a few short years by his widow ; while of the
scattered band of children only two or three find their way
back to the paternal home.
And now there comes a new dispensation, for young
David Emery, with his bride, pretty, spirited Sally Smith,
from Crane- neck hill, have rented the farm for the purpose
of opening a houseof public entertainment, and a mansion
of hospitality it truly proves to be. The L next to the
street had recently been added for a kitchen, with a shed
for baiting attached, and Mrs. Emery has told me of the
many dinners she has cooked over its fire-place.
How many feet have trodden the threshold of the bar
room on errands of pleasure or business ! What animated
political discussions, what merry stories recounted, round
the great peat fire on the hearth !

XXIV AN OLD HOME AND ITS ROMANCE.
Emery's tavern in Newbury soon came to be a well-
known hostelry between Portsmouth and Boston. Mrs.
Emery relates that she often counted as many as twenty
wagons covered with their white tilts standing drawn up
along the side of the road near the house.
One morning the family learned to their horror that a
certain heavily loaded vehicle which had stood directly
opposite during the night carried nothing less than a large
consignment of gunpowder. After that the contents of
wagons stopping for a halt were more carefully enquired
into. The war of 1812 was under full headway at this date
and was very unpopular in all the New England states,
more especially the seaport towns, hence smuggling in
every form was freely carried on and winked at.
Emery's tavern was a noted depot and safe deposit for
the illicit trade, and often and again every hiding-place in
the house and barns would be filled with contraband
articles. One summer afternoon two gentlemen came riding up
to the door, and on their dismounting Mrs. Emery recog
nized to her great alarm two custom house officials, Mr.
Cross and Mr. Whitmore ; came they wittingly ?
Sending Guy, the sharp-witted houseboy, with a hurried
word of warning to seek his master, the hostess advanced
to receive her unwelcome visitors, and ushering them into
her private parlor proceeded to set out the best the house
afforded, enhancing the entertainment with all the wit and
woman's wile of which she was mistress. It may readily
be understood how in occasonal pauses in the conversation
her anxious eyes stole furtive glances from the window to
ward the great barns in full view, behind whose closed
doors she knew her husband and the hired men were load
ing the wagons with all speed and driving off toward West
Newbury. After spending what must have seemed a very
long hour to their entertainer the gentlemen made their
adieux and rode away giving no sign. Mrs. Emery could
then draw a breath of relief and try in vain to conjecture
the reason of their visit ; but she never knew.
I would refer all those to whom I would fain hold up a
picture of those days, to the " Reminiscences" of the

AN OLD HOME AND ITS ROMANCE. XXV
hostess told at ninety years. The venerable narrator's
graphic description outstrips my halting pen.
The sunny room at the further end of the house, added
i'l 1795) with its woolen carpet and old-fashioned bed
covered with an equally ancient patch counterpane, was
her private parlor, where she entertained the custom-house
ofiicers on the memorable visit of which she delighted to
to tell. In this room Mr. John Tracy, son of Patrick,
loved to sit of an afternoon and relate his Revolutionary
experiences ; and here the parties of young people who
had walked up from town for a game of bowls, and early
afternoon tea, lingered for an hour exchanging repartee
and badinage with their entertainer.
At that time and for many years previous, what is now
a grassy lawn before the house was a dusty, open door-
yard through which teams and horsemen could approach
the very door.
The stout iron hook projecting from the wall near the
doorpost was very convenient to fiing a bridle over.
The bowling alley stood across this courtyard at right
angles to the house, protected from the view of passengers
on the road by a bulk-head and reaching from the land
then the property of the Messrs. Titcomb to the point now
marked by a tall old apple tree.
What a commotion there must have been that winter
morning seventy-eight years ago, when a mounted
messenger dashed up the road to the door shouting "Peace !
Peace ! " The joyful announcement of the act which had
been consummated at Ghent more than a month before.
With what a generous hand Mrs. Emery must have dealt
out the candles to assist in the illumination by which
Belleville showed its joy at so happy a termination of the
unpopular war. Never before or since have the many-
paned windows glowed with so much brilliancy. They
shall glow again even brighter when William Pillsbury 's
great-great-great-great-great-grandson fills the chair of
the governor of Massachusetts.
But quieter days, like the old time, were coining.
Young Joshua Pillsbury, the fourth of his name, with his
brother Nat and sister Eunice, have returned from New
Hampshire to the home of their fathers, to make it their

xxvi AN OLD HOME AND ITS ROMANCE.
own again. According to my grandfather's story the
brothers and sister must have made their housekeeping a
sort of prolonged picnic and fully as enjoyable.
My grandfather has been described to me as being one
of the goodliest young men in Belleville at that time,
and Mrs. Emery added that all the young ladies were
anxious to win him for a gallant ; but he had an absorbing
ambition which stood between him and their charms, and
when he did at last wake up to the propriety of taking a
wife he found his way to Joppa and took a bride from the
waterside folk, — Sally, the daughter of Capt. Samuel
Rolfe. To gratify my curiosity my grandmother would relate
some of the incidents connected with her wedding which
took place in the latter part of July on one of the hottest
days she ever knew. Parson Williams of the Old South
meeting house performed the ceremony, assisted by Parson
Miltimore of Belleville, and there were cake and wine in
abundance. The groom wore a coat and waistcoat of blue adorned
with brass buttons, and white pantaloons, which attire
combined with his rosy cheeks, blue eyes and curly brown
hair, made him a very comely swain.
The bride's costume could be described in a very few
words : the gown being of pearl-colored China crape hav
ing low neck and short sleeves ; with two breadths and
gores in the skirt which probably cleared the fioor all
round, a toilet that could be donned in fifteen minutes.
What would my poor grandmother have said to the elab
orate preparations of to-day !
After their modest home-coming my grandfather and
grandmother settled down to a quiet uneventful life varied
only by the multiplying little feet that ran in and out over
the threshold. One scene, however, of his early married
life stood out before all the rest in my grandfather's mem
ory, and he enjoyed describing it as indeed he did all the
events of his younger days to any one who would listen.
The reminiscence referred to was the grand military
muster of Oct., 182 1, which took place on Grasshopper
Plains and must have surpassed all similar affairs of later
years. A venerable lady of my acquaintance, now in her

An old home and ITS ROMANCE. xxvii
ninetieth year, recollects very well how she and her mates
walked from their homes in Joppa to the muster ground
(a distance of at least three miles) , what a crowd there was
on the way, and how the drunken men lay by the side of
the road every few rods ; this was before the days of
prohibition. My grandfather as an officer of the day held some im
portant part in the manoeuvres, and according to his
own declaration never felt any better before or since. The
old house was full of a merry party of guests, sisters,
cousins and aunts of the master and mistress ; as charming
a set of relatives as Sir Joseph Porter's. The long dinner
table was set in the bar-room and there was no lack of
mirth and jollity. " O precious hours ! O golden prime !
And afHuence of love and time !"
Of all that joyous company my grandfather was the
last survivor.
This seems to have been the last of the festival days the
mansion was to see. My grandfather and mother absorbed
in their occupations, envying nobody, and envied by none,
educated with a Puritan dislike of profitless junketings,
eschewed all but a neighborly tea-drinking or a mild form
of hospitality at Thanksgiving.
So the years passed on. The friends and relatives
dropped away one by one ; the grass slowly crept up the
broad door-rock, and the shingles and clapboards grew
grayer with the storms of each succeeding winter, though
a faint tinge of red still held its own along the edge of
the plaster under the eaves to show what the color origi
nally was.
Grandchildren representing the seventh generation of
inhabitants wandered through the wide , bare rooms, study
ing the primitive architecture and gathering up such
scraps of family history and biography as came in their
way, until every room had its individuality and associa
tions ; the bar-room ; the " summer " kitchen ; in distinc
tion from the ' ' old ' ' kitchen ; great -great-grandmother
Rebekah 's parlor ; the east chamber, with the cheese safe
and grandfather's military accoutrements on the wall ;
the west chamber with its three churns, cradle, dasher and

xxviii AN OLD HOME AND ITS ROMANCE.
crank, manipulated by every juvenile visitor ; and theold
red cradle, which had rocked more than one generation,
and which was such a marvel to the lady from Pennsyl
vania; — each had its own coloring and memories.
" All the day within the ancient house.
The doors upon their hinges creaked ;
The blue fly sung in the pane ; the mouse
Behind the mouldering wainscot shrieked
Or from the crevice peered about.
Old faces glimmered through the doors.
Old footsteps trod the upper floors,
Old voices called one from without."
And in the glooming of the twilight the shadowy forms
of my five grandfathers, the successive masters of the
house would pass slowly in array before me and melt into
the dimness that followed the closing door.
The last regular inhabitant of the old house died in the
latter part of the year 1887, and pending the settlement
of the estate, owing to its want of repair, and comfortless
condition, it was left vacant by night for a number of
months. Taking advantage of this fact and possessed of the spirit
that one man calls "wilful wickedness," and another
"pure cussedness," which seeks to amuse itself at other
people's expense, some person or persons, thought to
properly celebrate July 4, 1889, by applying the torch to
the unguarded mansion. The prompt arrival of the fire
department saved the dwelling from utter destruction, but
it was found impossible to make good the ravages of the
fire ; therefore at the earliest day practicable the remains
were taken down after thorough and careful measurements
had been made of every portion, and all material found
worthy of being used again was laid one side.
Numerous photographs in addition to the measurements
made the matter of rebuilding the old house an easy one,
and so in a short space of time it had risen phoenix-like
from its ashes with all its old time features faithfully
reproduced; the overhanging eaves, the projecting story;
the small-paned windows of different sizes, irregularly
placed, the walls being covered with rough shingles and
painted the same ancient red they knew a century ago, the

low ceiled, wide rooms with their hard-finished walls, bare
floors and wide fire places, were all restored; though nu
merous modern comforts and conveniences have been added
which were unknown to our forbears.
A similar example of restoration of a noted old house
may be found in the instance of the historic Frankland
mansion, in Westborough, which was totally destroyed by
fire something more than forty years ago. Its owner imme
diately rebuilt it exactly after the old model and it is
standing at this day.

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.

1. WILLIAM PILLSBURY, the common ancestor
of the Pillsbury family in this country, came from Eng
land to Boston with the great flood of emigration which
set westward during the tyranny of Charles I., 1629-40,
the exact date being a little uncertain. Circumstances,
however, would seem to point to its being late in 1640 or
early in 1641.
There are various traditions as to the reasons which led
to his seeking a home in the New World. He did not
come with his Bible under his arm and his mouth full of
phrases as to liberty of conscience, although he showed
the true democratic spirit in after years, but he came
" As the flying come.
In silence and in fear."
The substance of the accounts is to the same effect, namely.,
that the young man felt obliged to flee his native land to
escape the consequences of a misdemeanor, and on his
arrival in Boston let himself as a servant to pay the ' ex
pense of his passage. Something of romance attaches
itself to the first few months of his residence in his new
home, as his courtship of a comely serving maiden in his
own or a neighboring family does not appear to have been
conducted with the stern decorum required by the cus
toms of the settlement, and they received admonition at
the hands of the law, which was a fashion of those days.
(See " Records pf ye Governor and Company of ye Massa
chusetts Bay in New England." Vol. i., pp. 318 and 334.)
Whether their offence was serious or trivial, as we
count things, is of little moment ; we must remember that
this was about the time when it was said a Connecticut
mother was punished for kissing her child on Sunday.

2 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
William Pillsbury and Dorothy Crosbey were married
somewhere between i June and 29 July 1641. It would
seem that William continued to reside in Dorchester dur
ing the next ten years, as records of the births of three
sons and a daughter have been found, and also the follow
ing in the Dorchester Records, under date of 13 July
1648, O. S.:
"The day above Capt. Atherton upon his Request had granted &
gieun unto him a corner of land adioyneinge unto a p'cell of land he
lately purchased of Tho Jones with all the prieulidges & advan
tages thereunto belongeinge (only) with this p'uiso that Henry
Cunliffe and william Pilsbury maye fetch pott water -which is to be
understood that they are to make up the Fence after them from tyme
to tyme soe that no damage come by their meanes." Jo : Wiswell.
Sometime in the year 1651 William and his family de
cided to change their home to one of the new towns which
had been settled along the coast to the northward. In
the previous year Edward Rawson had been appointed
secretary to the governor and council in room of Increase
Nowell, and had removed from Newbury, where he had
been town clerk and holder of other offices and owner of
several hundred acres of land, to Boston, to assume his
new duties.
With him William bargained for a parcel of land in
Newbury, containing forty acres, on which was a dwell
ing house, together with meadow land, rights of common
age, etc. The consideration was one hundred pounds,
fifteen in hand and the rest in securities, which, family
tradition says, consisted of real estate in Dorchester.
This homestead in Newbury has remained in the family
and descended from father to son through nearly two and
a half centuries, and though sadly reduced in the number
of acres, is still held and occupied by members of the
ninth generation. The originaj deed, now in possession
of the compiler, is as follows : **'

To their new home the family journeyed at the earliest
opportunity, and here six more children were born. For
the next eighteen years they doubtless lived the toilsome,
uneventful life of New England settlers, almost their only
recreation being the Sunday church-going. Their place
of worship was the First Church in Newbury, about two
miles distant along the winding forest-bordered road, and
in the famous dissensions which tore the parish in 1671,
William Pillsbury and his eldest son. Job, played no
inconspicuous part, as may be seen by the account pub
lished in Coffin's History of Newbury.
They were of the losing party, Mr. Woodman's, and
were fined a noble each ; equivalent to six shillings and
eight pence.

Tradition speaks of William as a man. of wealth, who
owned considerable land and had money to let, which he
kept concealed under the eaves of his thatched barn. In
common with many of his fellow citizens he was a slave
holder, as one of the items of the inventory mentions a
man-servant. As slavery of whites had long been abol
ished in the colony, this servant was either an Indian or a
negro. Following is a copy of his will preserved at the

3. Job' (William'), b. in Dorchester, Mass., 16 Oct.
1643, and died in Newbury, 10 Sept. 1716; m. in .New
bury, 5 April 1677, Katherine Gavett, who d. i Sept.
1718.
Of Job Pilsbury little or no record has been found. His
name occurs with his father's in the Newbury church-
fight, he was executor of his father's will and inherited
most of the paternal acres. He seems to have increased
in wealth and become a person of comfortable circum
stances before his decease in 1716.
In his will dated August 30th of that year he divides
the bulk of his estate between his sons Daniel and Josiah,
gives his wife Katharine all his household goods, and
directs that his sons ' ' shall Each of them pay in good pay
at Money's Price to my Wife Catron five pounds a Year
yearly during the Time of her Natural Life, also my sd
Sons shall find and provide for my sd Wife after my
decease good and suitable firewood for one fire during the
Time of her Natural Life and also a fire Room."
.The sons, Daniel and Josiah, were joint executors.
Thirteen years afterward, in 1729, Daniel bought his
brother's share of the homestead and became sole owner
thereof.

Moses Pilsbury seems to have increased in his substance
and public esteem as he increased in years. In 1682 it is
on the town records among other regulations concerning
sheep, that "Moses Pilsbury and the further end of the
town shall have the 'plaines' for their flock."
In 1686 he appears to have been one of the town
officials, as in the month of April complaints were made
to the selectmen " of great spo'yle of timber that was
made in the towne's commons, constable Moses Pilsbury
seized and delivered to Joseph Pike twenty-one red oak
trees and sixteen white oak trees at the south east end
near Savage's rock and the westerly end of Long hill near
Merrimack river."
In his will dated 29 April 1701, Moses bequeaths to
his beloved wife, Priscilla, one-third of his estate, real and
personal, makes his son Caleb sole executor, and gives
legacies to him, sons Joseph, Moses and Amos, and to
daughters Dorothy, Susanna, Judith, Hannah and Mary.

4. Abel^ (William'), b. in Dorchester, the exact date
not known, neither that of his decease which was pre
vious to 1697 ; m. Mary  .
Their children were :
i. Mary, b.  ; m. Thos. Brown, Jr., in Haverhill, Mass.,
6 Oct. 1697.
ii. Joshua, b. 12 April 1679 ; d. Jan. 1704.

12. iv. Jacob, b. 20 March 1686.
13. V, Abel, b. 12 April 1690.
vi. Elisabeth, b. 20 March 1693.
There is some uncertainty as to the personality of this
Abel. The above children were all born in Newbury, as
shown by the town records ; but an Abel Pilsbury resided
in Almsbury in 1680, as appears from a petition to the
General Court from that town in relation to a military
officer. " Abel Pillsbury being one of ye souldierye off ye
training-band. 10 July 1680."

5. William'' (William') b. in Newbury, 27 July
1656 ; d. in Salisbury, 173 — ; m. 13 Dec. 1677, Mary
Kenny. In the annals of King Philip's war we find men
tioned among the garrison at Springfield, 24 June 1676,
Wm. Pillsbury. Later on in another record has been
found an entry for ' ' Allowance for personal service at
Newbury Blockhouses, 1704, William Pillsbury Jr.,
i8s. 6d.
In his old age William appears to have removed to
Salisbury and made his home with his daughter Apphia,
where he died presumably between 1730 and 1740.
Their children were :
i. A daughter, b. Nov. 1678 and d. 24 March 1679.

1703. In the year 1 700 Daniel built a new house for himself
(see plate) on the paternal estate, and thither he brought
his bride as named above. This dwelling was owned and
occupied in succession by five generations of his descend
ants. Daniel died sometime in the middle of the year 1748,
the exact date unknown. The substance of his will is as
follows :
" In the name of God, amen, I, Daniel Pilsbery in the county of

ing but that I shall receive the same again at the general resurrection
by the mighty power of God, and as to such worldly estate as it hath
pleased God to bless me with in this life, I give, devise and bequeath
thereof in the following manner ; " etc, etc.
The widow is given the northeast end of the dwelling
house, with cellar under the same, with one-third part of
the rest of the real estate ; all the household goods with
stock of cattle and sheep, what silver money was in hand,
and what money was due on a bond from Isaac Jesley (?)
Joseph Whittier and John Thurston.
Son Daniel has divers parcels of real estate in Ames-
bury, Salisbury, Newbury and Biddeford (Me.), compris
ing tillage, pasture, meadow and woodland.

IO. Caleb-' (Moses,' Wm.'), b. in Newbury, 27 July
1681 ; d. in Amesbury, 1759 ; m. in Newbury 11 Feb.
1703, Sarah, daughter of Benj. Morss, of Amesbury.
Their children were :
31. i. benjamin, b.  (bapt.) 9 April 1705.
32. ii. Caleb, b. 26 Jan. 1717; d. in Amesbury, 7 Feb. 1778.
iii. Susannah, b.  ; m.  Walker; (bapt.) 16 Sept. 1705.
iv. Sarah, b.  ; m.  Stevens; 2d,  Jones.
V. Esther, b.  ; m.  Parker; (bapt.) 26 Dec. 1714.
vi, Hannah, h.  ; unm. (bapt.) 26 Dec. 1714.
vii. Judith, b.  ; m.  Harvey.
* Caleb removed with his family to Amesbury in 1727,
where he soon became a leading man in town affairs.
(See Merrill's History of Amesbury, Mass.) The act
which made his name famous in local annals was the
carrying out of the scheme to tunnel the Pond Ridge in
order that the waters of Lake Attitash might flow more
directly into Powow river, and also to drain a large meadow
to the northward of the lake that its crop of hay might be
more valuable and more easily harvested. This was a
great engineering feat for the time and was planned by
Caleb Pilsbury and Orlando Bagley. The actual labor of
digging through the Ridge was performed by two men
named Ring and Nutter. Tradition says they took their
pay in a barrel of W. I. rum ; or, as it was spelled in those
days, "rhum."
Caleb Pilsbury made two wills ; the first dated 27 June
1738, is carefully preserved in the family of one of his
descendants in the fourth generation. Some of its pro
visions may not be uninteresting, the more as they vary
materially from those of the second will.
_ After the usual pious preamble, he proceeds to give to
his beloved wife, Sarah, one-third part of all his lands for
her use and improvement so long as she shall remain his
widow; all his household goods for her own forever to
dispose as she shall please ; one-half his dwelling house,
namely, the east end, and barn room for her use. She is
to have all his stock of " Chattels," excepting " one yoak
of oxen, and one hors and one cow," and "if it please
God that I die in possession of a crop standing or gathered
in, for her supply of provision for her relief for that year."

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 15
Son Benjamin is given a number of acres of land in
addition to what his father had previously given him.
Daughter Susannah Walker is to be paid ten pounds
out of the estate within seven years after his decease ; ' ' she
having had the rest of her portion before. ' '
Daughter Sarah Stevens is to be paid a like amount
within the same time ; " she having had her portion before. ' '
Daughters Esther, Hannah and Judith are to have
eighty pounds each out of the estate, the one four, the
second five, and the third six years after their father's
decease. Concerning these three unmarried daughters
their father's will is that in case any or all of them marry
before the time named for the payment of their full por
tion, then the executor shall pay one-half upon her
" marridg," and the other half at the time appointed.
In case either or all do not conclude to marry, then
" they shall have the liberty of one end of my house to
live in after their mother's decease, and to have free
egress and Regress thereunto."
Son Caleb who is appointed and ordained sole executor,
is to have all lands, housing and stock, all implements of
husbandry, with all rights, properties, privileges or par
titions in any divided or undivided lands in Almesbury or
Newbury, or any other right or property in any other
right or property in any other town whatsoever.
The second will which is duly preserved at the Registry
of Probate, Salem, Mass., is dated 24 Nov. 1758. In the
twenty years that had elapsed, marked changes had oc
curred in the testator's family. His wife and one daughter
had deceased, two other daughters had married, while the
fifth had remained at home to care for her aged parent.
The will begins with much the same preamble as the
first, with one clau3e which deserves special i;iention, the
spirit of which is worthy of being more generally followed
than it commonly is : " being sensible that my duty is to
set my house in order by the best means I can for ye
peace and welfare of my family, I do therefore make this
my last Will and Testament."
Son Benjamin receives a certain piece of land out of the
homestead, containing about twelve acres, he having ' ' re
ceived part of his portion before."

l6 PILLSBURY GENEiALOGY.
To daughter Susannah's children is given eight pounds
, three years after his decease, to be equally divided between
them; " she my sd daughter having received ye reste of
her portion before."
Daughter Sarah Jones is to have six pounds thirteen
shillings and four pence within three years after his de
cease, " she having received parte of her portion before."
Daughter Esther Parker is to have twelve pounds three
years after his decease, "she having received part of her
portion before."
Daughter Judith Harvey is to have eight pounds three
years after his decease, " she having received part of her
portion before."
To his three daughters now alive, namely, Sarah Jones,
Esther Parker, and Judith Harvey, he gives to be divided
in equal proportion betwixt them the other one-half of
his household goods not before bequeathed.
The portion given the unmarried daughter, Hannah,
who had no doubt been her father's housekeeper, claims
insertion in full :

" Item. I give and bequeath unto my daughter hannah pilsbury oute
of my Estate thirty three pounds Six shillings and Eight pence in Lawful
money to be paid by my Executor after mentioned within four years
after my decease & also I give unto her ye sd hannah my best bible
and my puter tankard & also ye one half of all ye remaining part of
my household goods & I give unto her ye sd hannah ye use and Im

Son Caleb has all the remaining part of the estate not
before bequeathed, both real and personal, "of movables
and Immovables of what name or nature soever or in what

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 1 7
town, plase or plases, soever to him ye sd Caleb pilsbury

The amount of the Inventory of Caleb's property, both
real and personal, taken 25 June 1759, was £2^^ 6s 7d.

I»illSbury genealogy. 19
Joshua has been described by an aged lady who came as
a bride to be his next door neighbor, as a tall, jolly man,
fond of a laugh and joke. He was a prosperous man for
those times, owned large tracts of land in Newbury,
Amesbury and Salisbury; was one of the original pro
prietors of the town of Boscawen, N. H., and owned a
right of land in the adjoining township of Warner.
It would appear that he had some interest in land in or
near Biddeford, Me., as his second son while on a business
trip to that neighborhood, brought home a bride from
Pepperellboro, now Saco, in 1764.
His wife, Mary, was the daughter of Abiel Somerby,
parish clerk of the First Religious Society, Rev. John
Lowell, minister, and great grand-daughter of Anthou}-
Somerby, the first schooliiiaster of Newbury.
As will be seen by the' in-ventory of his property, he
owned one pew in "Mr. Cary's meetinghouse," and one
in " Mr. Noble's," on the Plains, so the members of his
family could attend the religious service most congenial to
them. He died in the spring of 1788, at the ripe age of
84. The slate erected to his memory is still standing,
with that of his wife, children and grandchildren, on the
top of Old Burying hill, and are among the oldest famih-
monuments known to exist.
The will of Joshua is dated 19 Sept. 1783, his son
Joshua being appointed executor. He gives his beloved
wife, Mary, one-third part of his real estate and the
westerly end of the house wherein they lived. To his son
Enoch he gives " the house where he now dwells with land
(17 rods) adjoining," also saltmarsh, pasture land, wood
land, etc. He gives to son Samuel land in Amesbury,
salt marsh and pasture rights. To son Joseph one-half of
piece of land ' ' lying at the westerly end of my homestead, ' '
marshland, pasture land, and the right of land in the
township of Warner, N. H.
To daughter Sarah, wife of Isaac Rodgers, to daughter
Mary, wife of Richard Merrill, to daughter Hannah, wife
of Cutting Moody, each eighteen pounds, and a cow-right.
Also to the above-mentioned daughters all the household
goods in equal shares after wife's decease. To son Joshua

all estate, real and personal, not otherwise disposed of,
and he is directed to pay all legacies.
To this will the testator added a codicil about a month
before his death, i March 1788 :
" Whereas it hath pleased God in his providence to take away m,r
son Enoch by death since I made this my last Will, therefore — I
give and dispose of that part of my estate that I gave to my son
Enoch, to his widow and children in the following manner, -viz : first
I give to Apphia Pillsbury widow of said Enoch the income and im
provement of the house where she now dwells, and the land adjoining,
as long as she remains his widow, and then I give said house and land
to my grandson Samuel Pillsbury, son of said Enoch he paying each
of his sisters Nine pounds when he comes into possession of said
house. I give to my grandsons, John and Samuel Pillsbury, all the
rest of my estate that I in this my last will gave to their father
Enoch, to be equally divided between them."

would allow no one but. a member of the family to touch

Caleb, Jr., trod in the footsteps of his sire. During his
lifetime he was one of the most prominent citizens of the
town of Amesbury, Mass., and held at one time or another
almost every office within the gift of the people. He was
repeatedly chosen selectman, was representative to the
General Court and to the Provincial Congress. He was a
captain of militia under the royal authority, and his com
mission under the King's name, signed by Gov. Hutchin
son, is carefully preserved by one of his great-grandsons.
He was captain of the little company of fifteen minute
men who marched from Amesbury to Cambridge on the
Lexington Alarm. The muster-roll may be found at the
State House, Boston, among the Revolutionary papers.
It is interesting to note that out of the members of the
company four were named Pillsbury ; indeed Caleb and all
of his five sons were at different times in the Continental
army. Caleb died in the spring of 1778. The inventory
of his property, taken June 4th, amounted to upwards of
;^2200 ; a large sum for the time. His widow Mehitable
and eldest son Joshua were appointed administrators, and
guardians of his minor children, Micajah and Isaac.

Samuel was a boat-builder and erected and afterward
resided in the old house that stood opposite the foot of Oak
land street, Newburyport, on the spot now occupied by
the factory building. It was of the antique model, of
which few examples now remain about the city, and its
appearance, with front of two stories and the roof on the
back sloping down to one, will long be remembered by
those persons residing in the upper ward.
He was a quiet, hard-working mechanic, whose name
would have gone into forgetfulness with many of his kin,
had it not been for his record as a soldier of the War for
Independence, which is cherished with pride by his pos
terity. He served in the Continental army through the
greater part of the conflict, and was an unwilling partici
pant in some of the incidents connected with Arnold's
treason. He was one of the crew of the barge that rowed
the arch-traitor from West Point to the British sloop Vul
ture, who were afterward forcibly detained on board and
carried prisoners to New York. The story of these poor
men and their subsequent release by Sir Henry Clinton,
the British commander-in-chief, is known to every student
of United States history.
For many months during the year 1780 nothing was
heard from Samuel by his wife and six children, the
youngest of whom -w^as born after the father's departure
for the army, and family tradition has it that they suf
fered, as did so many others, from want. His sudden re
turn to them with a tale of adventure of such interest,
must have been almost like a resurrection. Several of his
grandchildren, gray haired men and women, have related

mllSbury genf;alogy. 29
to the compiler their recollection of the wonderful stories
told them in their childhood when grouped around their
grandfather's knee; his description of Arnold, and how
little the men dreamed of the treachery that was being
planned in the brain of the wily plotter. "We would
never have taken him to the British ship if we had thought
there was anything wrong," the old man would declare.
He lies buried with his wife, children and grandchildren,
on the north-west slope of Old Burying hill, and the Iron
marker of the Society of the Sons of the American Revo
lution marks the spot.

Timothy was a blacksmith by trade and an ingenious
mechanic. He resided in a house situated in what is
known at the present time as Currier's shipyard at the
foot of Ashland street (then Pillsbury's lane), Newbury
port. Several of his kinsmen, also blacksmiths, resided
in the same neighborhood. His daughter Miriam, after
ward the wife of Samuel Greenleaf of West Newbury,
took great pride in the mechanical genius of her father's
family, and frequently related to her grandchildren (one
of whom repeated the fact to the compiler), that the
first cannon bored in the United States was handled in her
father's workshop.
Timothy was lieutenant in Capt. Moses Little's com
pany of minute-men who marched from Newbury on the
Lexington alarm. He died in 1800 heavily encumbered
with debt.

John Morgaridge was the youngest son of Samuel and
Mary (West) Morgaridge. He owned and resided on the
property originally belonging to his father, known as
Morgaridge Point, or Morgaridge 's shipyard, where ship
building was carried on as early as 1741.

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 3 1
After the death of their parents the four daughters con
tinued to reside in the old home on the bank of the river,
though the shipyard had come to be known as Jackman's
shipyard, a portion of it lying opposite the foot of For
rester street, Newburyport.
The one thing which made their name a household
word among the families of the surrounding region, was
their fondness for feline pets, and the saying, " as many
cats as the Morgaridge girls," signified to the initiated
the possession of a goodly number of those useful animals.
Varying stories were rife as to the number of cats claimed
by each sister, and the compiler has never found two that
agreed. When the old house was torn do-wn, about 1864,
it was found that one of its rooms had been specially de
voted to feline occupancy, the woodwork in some places
being planed to satin smoothness by their claws.
Like his brother-in-law, Timothy Pillsbury, John Mor
garidge — or Capt. John, as he was called — was a member
of Capt. Little's company of minute men that marched
from Newbury to Cambridge, 19 April 1775, and, more
fortunate than the former, his grave is known and marked
by the insignia of the Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution.

Of this centenarian of the Pillsbury family, his grand
son writes :
" He was seventy -five years of age when I was born, so of course
my first acquaintance with him found him quite an aged man, yet in
reality as young as any of us boys.
He was about medium height, neither stout nor thm, but very
solid. He said that in his younger days his usual weight was from

32 PILLSBURY GEiSfEALOGY.
i6o to 170 pounds. Then his hair and eyes were very dark , of course
he was quite. grey and bald when I knew him. He was remarkably
even tempered and social. I distinctly remember him as a remarka
bly pleasant and agreeable old gentleman.
I never saw him use spectacles, and his sense of hearing was as
keen as a fox's to the day of his death. One winter morning when he
was past ninety-seven, he walked with the teacher of our district to
the schoolhouse, when most of the scholars knowing him came out to
meet him, large and small. He read a long chapter from his New
Testament which he carried with him, and all listened with strict,
silent, attention. It was a strange sight to see such an old man read
ing without glasses in a strong, clear voice. He seemed to be on the
best of terms with everybody, never fretted or was cross-grained with
any one, always cheerful and contented. In his last years his general
health was good up to the last week of his life. He was up and about
the house his last day on earth, retired as usual, and fifteen minutes
later was found dead. After he lay down in bed he never moved even
a finger, but looked precisely as tliough he -were in a peaceful, quiet
sleep." Joseph was a soldier in the War of the. Revolution.
After his marriage he settled in Newbury as next, door
neighbor to John and Sarah Morgaridge in a house stand
ing in the shipyard, which long ago disappeared. He
resided there until his youngest child was a year old, when
he removed to Scarboro', Me., and settled on a farm near
Dunstan's Landing. He was also half owner and master
of a coasting schooner, and followed that business several
years. He was always spoken of as "Capt. Joe," and
every person who knew him was his friend. He was
never known during his long life to drink liquor of any
kind except in a single instance. This was the occasion
of the Evacuation of Boston by the British army, when he
took a glass of brandy and it lasted him through life.

pitying his forlornness, gave him shelter until he recov

the home, a blooming damsel, had lost her heart to the
stranger and further attached him to the land of his adop
tion, and supplied him with new kindred by becoming his
wife. They have left numerous descendants.

town papers was a petition dated Northwood, 5 Dec.
1797, addressed to the General Court of New Hampshire,
by James Pilsbury and forty-five others.
It would seem that the petition was not unanimous, as
a remonstrance following close on its heels would show :
" To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives convened
at Concord on the 2ist day of this inst. Nov. 1798-
We the Subscribers Inhabitants of Northwood did heretofore with
a number of our Breatheren Belonging to the Baptist Society in North-
wood Pertetion to be incorporated as a Baptist Society in Said North-
wood to which it was not granted, we the Subscribers understand
there is now a Pertetion before youer Honnors by a number of Perte-
tioners Belonging to Said Society in Said Northwood to be incor
porated as the first Baptist Society in Northwood— which youer Sub
scribers and Humble Pertetioners think if granted will take every ones
Property and Privileages In several Respects viz : Mr. Pilsbury who
for a Number of years hath ben ouer Minister and hath Bm m Fel
lowship with other Baptist Churches in Sosation is now Changed his
Principels and Become what is called a Universalor and is not in
Fellowship with the Baptist Churches and that tha Do Still Employ
Mr, Pilsbury the Meateing House to Which we cannot unite with
them we your petitioners being proprietors and Holders in part of
Said House and other Property tha being a Majority of Said Society.
Should this be incorporated we must be Cut of from ouer Privilege As
we Do Still hold ouerselves members of the Baptist Society and not
Universalors, Wherefore we Humble Pray that Said Petition may Not be
granted," Unfortunately for these poor Baptist brethren, their re
monstrance fell on indifferent ears, as the act of incorpora
tion had already passed both branches of the Legislature.
If their piety was on a level with their spelling and or
thography, a little Universalism in the way of knowledge
would not have injured them in the least.
In Cogswell's History of Northwood may be traced the
inwardness of the matter. The Rev. Mr. Pilsbury who
had so changed his ' ' principels ' ' was ordained over the
Northwood Parish 17 Nov. 1799, and continued about
twenty years.
" He had been educated to a degree that enabled him to be a suc
cessful teacher in the limited branches of study of those days, and
had the gift of speaking to the edifying of the people who were in
sympathy with Baptist notions ; so he was ordained to the work of
the ministry in East Northwood. He had no stipulated salary, but
depended on the voluntary contributions of his hearers and his own
industry. The contributions to his support were very irregular aud
unsatisfactory, tantalizing his hope, while he was ever stung by the
conviction that his services were unappreciated and unrewarded.

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 37
In 1787, when 51 years of age, Mr, Pilsbury fared best of any year in
all his ministry, when the town in its corporate capacity hired him to
preach half the time at the upper meeting house and the rest of the
time at the lower, and agreed to give hira for his services as support,
50 bushels of corn, 100 lbs. of beef, 50 lbs, of flax, 5 bbls, of cider, 20
cords of wood, and the keeping of 3 cows, 10 sheep and one horse
summer and winter.
It is said that Mr, Pilsbury before he closed his ministry with the
church in the east part of the town, changed his theological views in
respect to the final salvation of men and came to believe and affirm
that all men would finally be saved irrespective of moral character.
What more could have been expected than that a man whose early
labors commanded, and that only for one year, the small consideration
of 50 bushels of corn, 100 lbs. of beef, 50 lbs. of flax, 5 barrels of cider,
20 cords of wood, and the keeping of three cows, ten sheep and one
horse — what more natural than that any man under such requital
should either come to believe that all would finally be saved as being
one as good as another, or that all would finally be lost as being
universally unfit for the kingdom of heaven ? "

Newbury, 18 April 1740; d. in Weare, N. H., 15 Sept.

Ezra was one of the first settlers of Weare, N. H., and
was the purchaser of lot 91, range 7. For part of it he
paid one hundred and thirty-five pounds lawful money,
built the large house now standing, and there spent the
rest of his days. He was one of the signers to the "Asso
ciation Test " in June 1776, was with Stark at the battle
of Bennington in 1777, was selectman in 1780, and he
and his three sons were tax-payers from 1788 to 1793, in
clusive. The . ' ' Association Test ' ' just mentioned was recom
mended by the Continental Congress, adopted by the
Provincial Congress of New Hampshire and sent to all the
towns for signatures. All males above 21 years of age,
except lunatics, idiots and negroes, were desired to sign
it, and when done it was to be returned to the general
assembly, or committee of safety.
To sign it was a bold and hazardous step ; had the cause
failed every signer would have subjected himself " to the
pains and penalties of treason ; " to a cruel and ignomini
ous death. This test was New Hampshire's declaration
of independence. " We, the subscribers, do hereby solemnly engage and protnise that
we will to the utmost of our power, at the risk of our lives and for
tunes, with arms oppose the hostile proceedings of the British fleets and
armies against the United American colonies."
In Weare 131 men signed it, Ezra Pillsbury among
them. Twenty-nine Quakers refused, and twelve others,
world's people, would not sign, although their refusal did
not signify any lack of patriotism.
Ezra was a trumpeter in the Revolutionary army and
served seven years.

Soon after his marriage Daniel removed to Boscawen,
N. H., and settled on the lot on Water street, laid out to
his father in 1733, as one of the proprietors of the town.
This piece of land, which he subsequently purchased, re
mained in the family nearly 150 years until the death of
his daughter Sarah in 1880. Daniel was a carpenter and
mill-wright. Though a man of medium stature, yet the
united heights of his seven sons amounted to 43 feet, 6
inches.

Marrying at eighteen she rode on a pillion behind her
husband over the rough country roads in the depths of
winter to her new home in the sparsely settled town of
Boscawen, N. H. Stories are still extant of her pluck
and determined spirit. The farm to which she made her
wedding journey, situated in that part of Boscawen now
known as Webster, is at present owned and occupied by
her granddaughter. Miss Nancy E. Couch, and her great-
grandson, Herbert C. Whitney.

One of her grandsons thus described Miriam to the
compiler : —
My grandmother was a handsome woman, with dark brown eyes,
tall and finely formed. As she grew older she became very stout,
weighing upwards of two hundred pounds a few years before her
death. As she sat in her large armchair, always dressed in dark
brown (except on special occasions, when she wore black silk), with
her three-cornered kerchief of snowy white, her Martha Washington
cap, her slippers of some bright color, and workbag of cardinal velvet
always hanging on the arm of her chair, .she looked like some fine
old picture.
Her needle work was exquisite. She showed me a small piece of
silk tissue, beautifully embroidered with bouquets of flowers in
natural colors, saying that she had a dress of the same worked when
she was young. After the marriage of her youngest daughter she
embroidered a black lace dress for her.
She was a great reader, and was well informed on general subjects.
She was an interesting talker, and her grandchildren loved to hear
her tell of the days when she was young.

She was proud of the Pillsbury family, particularly of their

The life of Timothy reads like a chapter of romance.
His father died before he was twelve years old, heavily
encumbered with debt. When all claims were settled
only a small pittance was left for the widow and her four
young children. Though his schooling had been very
limited, Timothy felt he must do something to assist his
mother, and therefore left school and went into a store in
Newburyport. At the age of fourteen he shipped as a
foremast hand on board the ship "Romulus," Capt.
Lufkin, belonging to Jacob Little, of Newbury, and
narrowly escaped shipwreck on the homeward voyage.

54 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
The next cruise he was washed overboard in a heavy
storm and was rescued with difficulty. Nothing daunted,
he continued to follow the sea for the next thirty years,
and his sea-faring life was a long series of hardship and
misadventure. He owned and commanded various vessels ; took part
in the war of 1812, was taken prisoner, and on one occa
sion planned a daring escape which was successful. He
was several times shipwrecked, and was frequently in
perilous situations, some of his experiences rivalling in
tragic and romantic interest the best known nautical fiction
of the present day.
Limited space forbids anything but the bare outline of
this part of his troubled career. . At last, after being
rescued with his crew from one of his most perilous ship
wrecks, circumstances combined to cause him to abandon
his sea-faring life and embark on the equally troubled
ocean of politics.
From Boston where he was landed by the vessel which
rescued him, he went to Eastport, Me. There he became
a candidate for representative from that town to the
Maine Legislature. He lost his election but was chosen
by the Legislature immediately afterward to the member
ship of the Executive Council of Maine. During the year
in which he held this office, he was nominated for member
of Congress, but a split in the party lost him the election.
He then went to Ohio, but remaining there only a brief
period journeyed on to New Orleans, where he arrived
with only twenty dollars in his pocket. Taken ill, he
was befriended by a wealth}^ mercantile house with which
he had had dealings in previous years, the members of
which on his recovery urged him to go to Texas, offering
to start him in business. He consented, but in the des
perate state of affairs then existing in Texas, all business
was a failure.
In 1840-41 Timothy Pillsbury was selected as a candi
date to the Legislature of Texas from his county — Bra
zoria — and was successful. At the next session he was
chosen to the Senate, and on resigning his seat there was
chosen chief justice of the County Court, and Judge of
Probate of the county of Brazoria, an office he held between

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 55
two and three years. He was then re-elected to the senate
and resigned the judgeship.
In July 1 845 , an extra session was held for the purpose
of considering the propositions made by the United States
governnient for annexation. Of this measure Mr. Pills
bury was an early and strenuous friend. Shortly after
annexation he was elected to the National House of
Representatives by a small vote, and he was subsequently
re-elected a member of the Thirtieth Congress by a largely
increased majority. He gave cordial .support to the ad
ministration of Mr. Polk in all its cardinal measures.
(A very complete account of his life, from which this
abstract is taken, may be found in the Biographical and
Political History of Congress, compiled by H. G. Wheeler,
pub. by Harper Bros., Vol. II, pp. 64 to 100. Major Ben :
Perley Poore's Directory of Congress maj' also be con
sulted.) As might be supposed for a man trained in the sternest
lines of the school of experience and adversity, whose
character and opinions were hardened by the buffetings of
fortune, Mr. Pillsbury had many political enemies, and
was described to the compiler as being at a certain period
of his life one of the best hated men west of the Mississippi.
It is to be hoped that his latter years passed in the
comparative quiet to which his youth was a stranger.

and at his death, in 1891, one of the most prominent
Free Masons in the country.
Ninety years ago the name of " Peg" Pillsbury was as
familiar in the workshop of every Massachusetts shoe
maker, as that of the wizard of Menlo Park in the labora
tories of scientists to-day.
The Yankee fanner-machinist deserves a place among
the world's captains of industry, but his biographer is
yet to appear. He was one of seven brothers, all of whom
displayed more than ordinary talent in mechanics, busi
ness or scholarship. While still a boy he went to reside
with Paul Lunt, a wealthy gentleman of Newbury, where
his inventive and constructive talent displayed itself. All
his leisure hours were spent in making wind and water
mills, and ingenious machines and toys of every descrip
tion; but soon outgrowing playthings, he built a lathe
and commenced the manufacture of shuttles for the woolen
mills at Amesbury, a few miles distant.
On arriving at his majority he removed to Amesbury
and commenced business as a shuttle-maker on a more
extended scale. On the death of his uncle, which occurred
soon after, he removed to Byfield, having inherited the
homestead, where he continued to reside until the time of
his death. ¦ Here he obtained a situation as machinist to
the cotton factory, which, with the care of his farm, and
the perfecting of his various inventions, kept him busily
engaged .
His first patented invention was a corn-sheller, which
was the earliest practicable advance on the time-honored
plan of scraping off the kernels with an old shovel or
broken scythe, and it had a great run among the advance-
guard and front ranks of the yeomanry, though the fogies
looked upon it as rather a dangerous innovation, which,
together with stoves and bass-viols in the meeting-house,
ought to be put down at any cost.
The bark-mill was his next invention, the patent for
which was issued in 1808. (Several of his letters patent
were signed by Thomas Jefferson, President, and James
Madison, Secretary of State) .
The mill was a decided success, being a wonderful im
provement on the old plan of crushing and bruising the

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 67
bark by rolling over it a sort of mill-stone, fitted to an
axle and drawn by a horse, a process, slow, wasteful and
imperfect. Its principle has since been adopted in all the
cast iron mills for the grinding of bark, corn, coffee, spices,
etc. The patent right was sold for two thousand dollars,
a large sum in those days for mere brain work, but, owing
to the failure of the assignees, he never received a cent for
the years of study and labor devoted to the perfecring of the
machinery, for it seems that several times when he sup
posed the work was completed, he found some difficulty
in its practical operation which required an essential modi
fication, either in the principle or construction.
The chief reputation of Mr. Pillsbury as an inventor
was earned by his shoe-peg machinery, the making of
which was suggested to him by the following circum
stances. Mr. Moses Stickney, of Byfield, an extensive
shoe manufacturer for those times, for " sale shoes" were
then but little known, was one day engaged in whittling
out with a knife some large pegs to be used in securing
the heels of shoes, pegs having been used for that purpose,
for aught we know, from time immemorial. Mr. Pillsbury
was present, and Mr. Stickney remarked that as he — Mr.
Pillsbury — could invent anything, he wished he would
construct him a machine for making his heel pegs, as it
would save him a deal of time and trouble. And why not,
thought Mr. Pillsbury, use a smaller peg for the whole
shoe, as well as the heel, thus making a larger market for
such pegs ?
The conception was no sooner formed than he proceeded
to put it into execution. Sawing up a stick of seasoned
maple into pieces of proper thickness, he, with some rude,
improvised appliance, ''ploughed and cross-ploughed" —
to borrow an agricultural term — the faces of one side to
form the points, after which, with a knife and mallet, the
pegs were split off, first into combs, and then into single
pegs by crossing with the knife a bunch of the combs.
Enough were thus made to peg a pair of shoes, which
were found to do good service, while the expense was mani
festly less than that of sewed work.
Mr. Pillsbury at once commenced in good earnest the
building of his machinery, on which he spent three years'

68 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
time and several thousand dollars. As it was very expen
sive in those pre-railroad days to transact business with
Washington, and as he had lost the entire time and_ cost
expended on his bark-mill, he was utterly unable, with a
family of eight children depending on him for support, to
incur the expense of procuring a patent, while, as has ever
been the case, and as it doubtless ever will be, his friends
and neighbors who might have aided him had no faith in
his success, and were more sparing of their encouragement
than their ridicule. He was, consequently, obliged to
work in secret, and make most of the complicated ma
chinery himself, not daring to trust his pattern to regularly
trained mechanics, who possessed the requisite facilities
for doing the work, lest they should appropriate his ideas.
Accordingly he fitted up a rude forge in the great old-fash
ioned fireplace of his house, built a lathe and made all the
necessary tools, even fitting up a small foundry where he
made his smaller castings. Having thus built his shop
and made his tools, he applied himself to his task, and
when at last, after years of struggling with poverty and
discouragement, intractable materials that seemed to scorn
his amateur appliances, and the unbending laws of me
chanics, that would brook no error in calculation, he saw
his mill completed, perfect in its workmanship, and run
ning to a hair in every particular, he was, we dare say, a
prouder man than Alexander when he had conquered the
world (and verily he had more to be proud of) ; but he
felt that he must make the most of his mill, for it was his
all. His entire property had been mortgaged, piece by
piece, to procure funds to carry out his designs and to as
sist in the maintenance of his family. His wife was now
dead, and the care of the family, consisting of the father
and seven sons, devolved on a daughter of fourteen years.
But now a turn came in the tide of Mr. Pillsbury's
affairs. The peg-mill was allowed to be a success ; the
manufacture of pegged boots and shoes commenced at
once, and he, of course, had the entire monopoly of the
peg trade. The mill was run with closed doors, the rule
of "no admittance ' ' being remorselessly enf orceid against
all comers. The price charged for the pegs was about
eight times what is now asked, and in a few years the

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 69
mill redeemed itself, as well as the farm, which had been
encumbered on its account.
But, though Mr. Pillsbury was now able to take out a
patent, he neglected to do so, probably because he was
busy, and disinclined to the trouble and vexatious delays
that even yet are, in so many cases, inseparable from red
tape. Meanwhile, stimulated by the increase of the shoe
business, and the high price of pegs, a number of me
chanics had commenced experimenting on peg machinery;
but one movement, connected, we believe, with the pointer,
and which was essential to the rapid and perfect manufac
ture of the peg, could not be devised, and the most persist
ent endeavors were therefore made to steal Mr. Pillsbury's
secret. These endeavors, come from what source or in
what form they might, were resisted with commendable
courage, till, in an unguarded moment, he yielded to the
urgent solicitations of a worthy deacon to allow him to see
the machine work, just to gratify his curiosity, and when
the deacon went out of the door he probably said in the
language of Caesar, slightly modified, " I came, I saw, I got
it." In a short time the movement appeared in another
mill in the same town, and before long in several others,
the consequence of which was, of course, that the price of
pegs declined, though, as the shoe factories for a long time
thereafter increased at a greater rate than the peg mills,
the business of Mr. Pillsbury proved remunerative as long
as he continued it, which was to within a few years of his
death. His other inventions numbered nearly a score. One of
the most interesting was a rotary fire-engine, the model of
which, some six inches in diameter, would throw a stream
of water the length of the room. There was also a coffee-
roaster, coffee-mill, bed-warmer, gold-washer and sifter,
churn, washing machine, window fastener, bee hive, spring
gun, sub-marine monitor boat, for worming into an enemy's
harbor, and, that he might not be accused of partiality, a
sunken infernal machine for the enemy to use against the
aforesaid boat.
In personal appearance, Mr. Pillsbury was a tall, -well
built and handsome man, possessing a robust constitution
and the strength of a lion. When in the army in the last

70 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
war with England, he shouldered a cannon weighing seven
hundred pounds. He was a genuine patriot, and on the
breaking out of the war, when his company was drawn
up on parade and volunteers were called for, he was the
first to step to the front. He was a man of strong mind,
strong will and strong passions ; honest, upright and con
scientious in the extreme, a thorough democrat in princi
ple and practice, and a hater of all shams in society,
government and religion. He was a great reader and
original thinker, and possessed much real culture and
innate refinement. On the whole he was one of the best
samples of a genuine self-made man that our country
affords. (The compiler is indebted to a neighbor and personal
friend of Mr. Pillsbury, for the foregoing biography.)

In 1787, when Oliver was four years of age, his father
moved to West Boscawen, now Webster, N. H., but then
a wilderness. Here he lived the usual life of a country
boy, and at the age of nineteen returned to Newbury,
where, after farming awhile he hired himself to a black
smith. His aptness for this trade was such that at the
end of six months he received full journeyman's pay.
Before entering business he attended Dummer Academy
for a time to improve his education. Here he made the
acquaintance of a schoolmate from Chebacco, now Essex,
named Anna Smith, and as a result they married and
settled in Hamilton, he doing the blacksmith work of a
chaise factory. In 1814, the war interfering with the
business of the factory, they moved to Henniker, N. H.,
purchasing a farm there. Here, in spite of the draw
backs caused by hard times and the like, they worked their
way along and passed the remainder of their days. No
man was more interested than Mr. Pillsbury in the wel
fare of the town. He was among the first to espouse the
cause of temperance and anti-slavery, and took a deep in
terest in all the benevolent and philanthropic objects of
the day.
Mrs. Pillsbury was a very strong woman, physically as
well as mentally, and was endowed with a rare combina
tion of requisites for a pattern wife, mother, neighbor and
friend. She lived to the great age of ninety-four years,
retaining all her faculties in a remarkable degree to the
end of her life. At her funeral her four eldest sons acted
as pall-bearers.

The father of Moses was a blacksmith, and the boy
worked with him from the age of ten until he was twenty-
one. He was a lieutenant in the war of 1812. After the
war he was appointed warden of the New Hampshire
State Prison at Concord, by Gov. Bell. His first term of

Levi graduated from Dartmouth College in 1798, and
was ordained pastor of the First Calvanistic church in
Winchendon, Mass., 24 June 1801, in which office he con
tinued until his death. So staunch was his orthodoxy,
so unswerving his loyalty to the doctrines of Calvinism,
that his preaching and personal infiuence were during his
lifetime insurmountable barriers to the spread of more
liberal principles in Winchendon.
He died in 1819, universally honored and lamented.
His funeral was a public event of which the parish paid all
the expenses ; they also ordered and paid for a handsome
tombstone. They provided the mourning weeds and gar
ments for the family, and furnished a generous provision
of funeral baked meats, of which not the smallest item in
the bill was that for liquors. Special mention is made of
sixteen mugs of fiip to moisten the thirsty throats of the
choir singers.

Stephen PilLsbury was ordained to the gospel ministry
in June 181 5, and settled as a Baptist clergyman at
Hebron, N. H. He subsequently resided in Sutton, Dun-
barton and Londonderry, where his labors as pastor were
earnest and faithful, and in each place fruitful for great
good. On the last day of Mr. Pillsbury's labors he attended a
wedding and a funeral. He died peacefull)' in London
derry, beloved and mourned by all who ever knew him.
His ministry extended through thirty-five years, fourteen
of which were passed at Londonderry.
He represented Sutton in the New Hampshire Legisla
ture about 1833, as a Democrat, but when the Free Soil
party was formed he entered its ranks for freedom and
union.

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 85
In his younger days he was a school teacher ; at Lon
donderry he was active as superintending school commit
tee for many years. He wa.s one of the earliest total
abstinence men in New Hampshire, under the temperance
reform movement. He published a temperance appeal to
the people, and another to rum sellers, never sparing an\-
effort tending for good to his fellow men.
His long service as a minister of the Baptist faith caused
him in the latter }-ears of his life to be termed one of the
fathers of the denomination. Lavinia Hobart, his wife,
was daughter of Josiah Hobart, of Hebron, in which town
she was born in 1795. Her father was the first Eng
lish male child born in Plymouth, N. H. She was the
possessor of rare intellectual powers, was a graceful writer
of prose and verse, and gifted with fine and artistic taste.
Her christian character was a bright example of faith, de
votion and helpfulness. She composed .several excellent
religious hymns, and contributed valuable articles to the
pages of the " Mother's Assistant " magazine.
She survived her husband , from whom she declared she

Enoch was a soldier in the war of 1812 ; he was for
years a cripple from rheumatism and the results of an
accident met with when lumbering. Left in his old age
without wife or children, and dependent on the generosity
of neighbors and kinsmen for home and support, he never
lost his cheerful temper and was always ready to greet
those who came to visit him, with hearty speech and some
story from the experiences of his long life.

On reaching his majority, Mr. Pillsbury settled in that
part of Boscawen known as Bashaii from the number of
noble red and white oak trees which grew there. His
whole life was spent upon his farm, though most of his
attention was given to his saw-mill. He became an officer
in the militia, was colonel of the 21st New Hampshire
regiment for several years, and rose to the rank of briga
dier-general. He took an active interest in the events of his time, was
one of the first to espouse anti-slavery principles, and gave

of his death. He was one of eight persons to form the
Baptist religious society in Biddeford in 1852. He was
one of its first deacons and was chosen clerk both of the
society and church, which office he held until within a
few weeks of his death.
Deacon Pilsbury was an arduous worker in the cause of
Christ. Whenever the church needed concentrated labor,
or anything in the society needed the attention of a cool
head and kind heart. Deacon Pilsbury was invariably the
man to whom all turned for guidance.
His clear business tact, coupled with a generous dispo
sition and a noble character, placed him at the head of
everything pertaining to the welfare of the church, in
which he will be missed equally with his home and the
community. 339. Maria' (John," Samuel') , b. in Newburyport, 24

John passed his boyhood in Newburyport, and when
quite a young man removed to Lowell, entering a printing
office. After acquiring a thorough knowledge of the busi
ness, he started for the West with his wife. At that time
the only means of travelling was by stage coach or canal-
boat. He located at Columbus, Ohio, carrying on the
printing and publishing business. After some years he
returned to Lowell and started the first Democratic news
paper in that locality. It was what was called at that
time a " Free Soil " paper, to which John G. Whittier
was a frequent contributor.
In 1854 he removed to Chelsea with his family, having
received a lucrative position in the Boston Custom House,
which position he held until his death in 1858.
Like his elder brother Samuel, he was all his life an
active and devoted member of the Baptist denomination.

when the vessel was captured by a British man-of-war.
They took all the crew but him, leaving him to help get

loaded, into the sails, by which she was sunk, and he was
the only man saved. He afterward lived in Rockland.

Bradford, she was engaged as a teacher in the Blind
Asylum, Boston, where she was one of the first instructors
of Laura Bridgman. She was much interested in her

work, and after remaining in Boston several years, accepted
a call to a similar institution in Columbus, Ohio.
Here she made the acquaintance of Mr. Lee, whom she
afterward married.

The name of Parker Pillsbury has probably been more
widely known than that of any other member of the family.
A lecturing agent of the New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
and American Anti-Slavery Societies for nearly a quarter
of a century, throughout the active period of the abolition
movement, his face and figure and his peculiar and im
pressive eloquence became familiar to the people of New
England and the Middle States, who have carried the
memory and the traditions of his trenchant assaults upon
the slave system wherever eastern emigration has found
its way.
Born at Hamilton, Mass., 22 Sept. 1809, his parents
removed to Henniker, N. H., during his infancy, where
he grew up on his father's farm with only such education
as the common schools and the intercourse of an intelligent
community afforded. He was employed at Lynn, Mass.,
for three years after coining of age, but returned to Hen
niker and the farm in 1832, where the town historian re
cords that he became captain of the local militia company,
the only public office he ever held. About this time, at
the age of twenty-four, he joined the Congregational
church, of which his father was a deacon, and becoming
active in the work of the church and Sunday school, and
in the temperance cause, his talents began to attract notice
and to mark him as a " fit candidate" for the ministry.
In obedience to the advice of friends and the wishes of his
pious parents, in or about 1836, he began a theojogical
course at the Gilmanton (N. H.) Seminary, which was
completed at Andover. In 1839 he was licensed to preach

by the Suffolk Association, and engaged for a year to sup
ply the pulpit of the Loudon (N. H.) church. It was
there that his career began.
Aroused by the trumpet call of Garrison, he shook off
the fetters of the church, abandoned the pulpit and threw
himself into the cause of emancipation with a fervor that
never abated until the final downfall of slavery in the
United States. In common with many of the early
abolitionists, he accepted the principle of non-resistance,
and he steadily refused to vote or to exercise any political
privileges under a government which tolerated slavery or
war. His greatest work in the anti-slavery cause was upon
the platform, but he had for a time editorial charge of the
Herald of Freedom, at Concord, N. H., and later of the
National Anti-Slavery Standard, at New York. From
1840 until the fulfillment of his constant prediction that
slavery was to "go down in blood," he was one of the
most zealous and effective of the abolition orators, second
in power only to Garrison and Phillips, if to any.
In 1854 he visited England in the cause of anti-slavery,
and delivered several public addresses on the subject. His
zeal for reform was in no wise abated with the legal extinc
tion of slavery. He was an earnest advocate of continuing
the organization and. work of the American Anti-Slavery
Society, for the social and political elevation of the f reed-
men, and his last public speech in direct connection with
slavery was in support of this policy, but it was decided
otherwise. He then engaged in the cause of the elevation of women,
and kindred reforms, and in 1868-70, was an editor of
The Revolution, at New York, in conjunction with Mrs.
E. C. Stanton and Miss Susan B. Anthony. Upon the
discontinuance of that paper he re-entered the missionary
field in behalf of woman suffrage and other social and
moral movements, and for several seasons held the relation
of lay minister to free religious societies of Salem, Ohio,
and other places in the West, until advancing age com
pelled his retirement from public work. In his later
years he has been an appreciative student of theosophy,
spiritism, and other philosophical and psychological sub-

128 pillSbUry genealogy.
jects. In 1883 he published a volume of personal and
historical - sketches and reminiscences of the anti-slavery
cause and its leaders, under the title " Acts of the Anti-
Slavery Apostles," an interesting and valuable contribu
tion to the history of the movement, picturing in detail
from his personal experience the hardships and perils
which beset the early missionaries in the abolition field.
A large number of his public addresses on slavery, and
other social, moral and political subjects, have from time
to time been given to the public in print. His pam
phlet ' ' The Church as it is ; the Forlorn Hope of Slavery, ' '
published at Boston in 1847, had a wide circulation and
became one of the classics of abolition literature.
In the history of the anti-slavery niovement, Parker
Pillsbury will be a conspicuous figure. His personality
and position were to a certain extent unique. He was
extreme among extremists. He was by nature a born
agitator, a "stirrer-up of people," as Wendell Phillips
said of himself. A master of sarcasm and invective, his
style was denunciatory, and it is speaking within bounds
to say that he was before all the other orators of the
abolition cause in the directness and crushing force of his
blow. He had plenty of grim Yankee humor, but was
too much in earnest to give rein to it in public speech.
His discourse was usually solemn and often portentous.
It was said that to hear him was like listening to the voice
of one of the Hebrew Prophets. None who heard him
forgot him. He seemed to feel it his duty to startle and
even to shock the public out of its apathetic indifference
to the iniquities of slavery. From the many traditions
which still survive, one example of this may be given,
especially as the facts have been often misstated.
In a speech in a church in Danvers, Mass., to enforce
the point that people failed to realize what it meant to
degrade human beings and members of the Christian
church into brutes and chattels, he invited his astounded
hearers to reverse the process, and picture to themselves
the spectacle, in that sacred place, of a dog called up for
baptism, with the solemn invocation, " Tiger, I baptize
thee in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost!"

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 129
As may be easily conceived, chills of dismay ran through
the audience ; a public sensation ensued, and pro-slavery
writers for the press called upon the grand jury to indict
him for blasphemy. But he had accomplished his pur
pose by arousing the public to a more vivid conception of
the system that baptized negro slaves into the church
while buying and selling them as cattle. The incident
attracted wide public notice and gave rise to many false
statements, among others that he had actually performed
the ceremony of baptism upon dogs ; but Mr. Garrison and
others who were present publicly denied these assertions
and certified to the impressive solemnity with which this
bold and startling illustration was offered and received,
and the entire absence of any suggestion of irreverence.
Parker Pillsbury embraced to its fullest extent the doc
trine of James G. Birney's famous tract, " The American
Church the Bulwark of American Slavery," and from his
earliest connection with the abolition cause the guilty fel
lowship of the churches with slavery was his special object
of denunciation.
The church could not ignore this conduct while he held
its credentials, and accordingly in 1841 he was summoned
before the Suffolk Association, with a view to revocation
of his license.
To this summons h'e responded in a characteristic letter
concluding thus : " Let your intimated ' censure ' and ' re
sumption of license ' be carried into full execution. I
shall still preach the gospel of Christ, and by His grace
wash my hands from all participation in your guilt of the
awful crimes and cruelties of slavery, and in the last day
be a swift witness against you unless you repent. Brethren,
regard this letter as my solemn excommunication of you,
and my work with you is done. I go now to the lost sheep
on the mountains. And when they and you and I stand at
the tribunal of God with assembled worlds, the down
trodden and sorrow-stricken slave in the vast congregation,
it shall be known who has served God and who has not."
His license was "resumed," but this stinging rebuke was
never answered. Later, in response to a similar summons
from the church at Henniker of which he had been a
member, he replied, " I am not aware of the existence of

xyo PILLSBURY GEiSTEALOGY.
any Congregational church in Henniker. Four or five
years ago there was an organization in that town known
by that name, myself belonging to it ; but that body I
excommunicated for its grossly immoral character.
" I am still laboring for their reformation, and shall re
joice to see signs of penitence and to forgive with all for
bearance and charit)^ so soon as I see hope of genuine re
pentance and fruits meet for repentance."
The usually sombre cast of Parker Pillsbury's public
utterances was a natural result of his serious temperament
and character. In private and among his friends one of
the most agreeable and companionable of men, he was too
deeply in earnest to trifle in his public treatment of any
important subject. As Garrison once said to him, " If you
resorted to a rani's horn instead of a silver trumpet, it was
because thus only could the walls of our slave-holding
Jericho be shaken to their fall."
But his warfare was upon principles, not persons. While
his judgments of other men and their motives were some
times too severe, this was due to the mental temperament
which made him a leader in the abolition cause, and was
common to most of them. In concluding his chronicle of
the anti-,slavery movement, he says of himself, " Truth in
statement, justice and right toward all persons and parties,
have been constantly, carefully kept in view, alike toward
foe and friend. In soul, spirit, purpose, I have known no
foes; no sun has risen or gone down on any wratk of
mine." In a versified and half humorous sketch of an anti-slavery
convention at Boston in 1846, James Russell Lowell struck
off a portrait of Parker Pillsbury, the fidelity of which
will be instantly recognized by any who have seen him
before an audience, in these lines :
"Beyond, a crater in each eye.
Sways brown, broad-shouldered Pillsbury,
Who tears up words, like trees, by the roots,
A Theseus in stout cowhide boots ;
The wager of eternal war
Against that loathsome Minotaur
To which we sacrifice each year
The best blood of our Athens here,
A terrible denouncer he.
Old Sinai burns unquenchably

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. I3I
Upon his Hps ; he well might be a
Hot-blazing so\il from fierce Judea,
Habakuk, Ezra, or Hosea,
His words are red-hot iron searers.
And nightmare-like he mounts his hearers.
Spurring them like relentless fate," etc., etc.
To this may appropriately be added another character
sketch from the hand of a master. The following passage
in Emerson's first essay on Eloquence was avowedly
written with Parker Pillsbury in mind :
"The resistance to slavery in this country has been a fruitful
nursery for orators. They send us every year some piece of aboriginal
strength, some tough oak-stick of a man who is not to be silenced or
insulted or intimidated by a mob, because he is more mob than they,
— one who mobs the mob, — some sturdy countryman on whom
neither money, nor politeness, nor hard words, nor eggs, nor blows
nor brickbats make any impression. He is iit to meet the bar-room
wits and bullies ; he is a wit and bully himself, and something more ;
he is a graduate of the plow and the stub-hoe and the bushwhacker ;
knows all the secrets of swamp and snowbank, and has nothing to
learn of labor or poverty or the rough of farming.
His hard head went through in childhood the drill of Calvinism,
with text and mortification, so that he stands in the New England
assembly a purer bit of New England than any, and flings his sar
casms right and left. He has not only the documents in his pocket to
answer all cavils, and to prove all his positions, but he has the eternal
reason in his head. This man scornfully renounces your civil or
ganizations, — county, or city, or governor, or army, — is his own navy
and artillery, judge and jury, legislature and executive. He has
learned his lessons in a bitter school. Yet, if the pupil be of a texture
to bear it, the best university that can be recommended to a man of
ideas is the gauntlet of the mobs."
315. Josiah Webster' (Oliver," Parker") , b. in Hamil
ton, Mass., 20 March 181 1 ; d. in Milford, N. H., 26 Oct.
1894; m. I June 1841, Elizabeth, dan. of William
Dinsmoor, of Windham, N. H.
In 1814 Mr. Pillsbury's father bought a hill farm in
Henniker, N. H., and removed thither from Massachusetts.
The farm was over four miles from the village, and a con
siderable distance from the nearest schoolhouse, and the
Pillsbury boys and girls, nine in number, had thus an
opportunity for considerable out-of-doors exercise in all
weathers, in connection with their moral and other training.
The parents were devout Congregationalists, and it be
came one of their ambitions to devote one or more of their
sons to the ministry. With this in view the elder three

132 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
sons, who had early united with the church, began to look
toward a liberal education. Accordingly Webster, as he
was called in the family, after serving out his minority on
the farm, began to prepare for college, teaching at inter
vals in the meantime. When he was at Phillips Academy,
at Andover, Mass., in common with his younger brother
Gilbert, and others of his fellow students, he became in
fused with the abolition sentiments which Garrison had
begun to proclaim, and an abolitionist society was formed
among the students of which he was an active member
and promoter. The academy authorities frowned upon the
movement, and finally forbade the society to continue its
meetings, whereupon the members left the school in a
body. Mr. Pillsbury's views of slavery were now fixed for life,
and the results of this incident changed his whole future.
He finished his preparation for college at Pinkerton
Academy, Derry, N. H., and entered Dartmouth College
in 1836. Graduating in 1840, he commenced the stud}'^
of medicine, teaching in the meantime to defray his ex
penses. The following year he married Elizabeth Dins-
moor, of Windham, a descendant of the original Scotch
settlers of Londonderry, N. H.
Mr. and Mrs. Pillsbury took charge as principal and
preceptress of the Pepperell Academy at Pepperell, Mass.,
and afterward of the High School of Weymouth, Mass.
Mr. P's health" failing, he was compelled to abandon the
idea of a profession and take to the out-of-door life of a
farmer. In 1845 he settled in Milford, and there resided, with a
brief interval during the civil war, for nearly fifty 5'ears.
He became an active member and officer of the local anti-
slavery society, a member for several years of the superin
tending school committee and of local literary societies.
From 1857 to 1862 he resided in Amherst, adjoining Mil
ford, but returned to the latter town, and about that time
was appointed school commissioner of Hillsboro' County.
In 1864 he went to South Carolina in the service of the
government, with his younger brother Gilbert, then com
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for South Carolina,
and afterwards mayor of Charleston. Mr. Pillsbury re-

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 133
mained in this service nearly two years, chiefly at Charles
ton and Hilton Head engaged in various duties of con
siderable responsibility under the military government of
that state, among others as judge of provisional court at
Hilton Head, having both criminal and civil jurisdiction.
In 1866 he returned to Milford and resided there con
tinuously until his death in 1894.
The characteristic feature of Mr. Pillsbury's life was
his connection with the anti-slavery and other reformatory
and liberal movements, and he was a frequent contributor
to the anti-slavery press. When the movement began for
the formation of a Unitarian Society in Milford, Mr. Pills
bury actively engaged in it, being an original member,
incorporator, and an officer of the society in which his in
terest continued unabated until his death.
He was an earnest temperance man, being one of the
earliest in the Washingtonian movement, from which time
he never touched intoxicating liquor. He never used
tobacco, and his brothers say that he was never known,
even in his youth to utter an oath even of the mildest type,
to which it may be added that he is not known ever to
have been involved in a quarrel, or to have had an enemy.
Mr. Pillsbury was a large, tall man, and until late in
life, erect, with strong features, dark complexion and dark
hair, with scarcely a tinge of gray to the last. He had
deep, full gray eyes, one of which had been sightless since
1863. He was slow of motion and of speech, but he con
veyed weighty ideas with no waste of words. No one
ever conversed with him on any subject without gaining
information. He spoke and wrote good English, was a
careful reader and student of events, and was informed on
all matters concerning the progress of the world. He had
not only been liberally educated, but he had studious
habits and fine literary tastes.
He had the poetic gift and wrote excellent verse. Music
was to him a divine art in which he took great delight
and was somewhat proficient. As a reformer he was
honest, brave and thorough ; but his modest, quiet way
of advocating unpopular views disarmed criticism, and
those with whom he differed had no heart to quarrel with
his position, or to seem to be opposed to his ideas.

134 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
His presence had the effect to rebuke evil and to inspire
goodness, to shame the thought of wrong and cruelty,
and to ennoble life. He loved the truth, and combined
the elements of "high thinking and plain living." His
humble home was the centre of love and affection, and his
literary taste and habits, as also that of all the members
of the famil}', made the domestic circle one of quiet cul
ture and refinement, of attractiveness and hospitality to
all those influences that enrich life and add to the felicities
of home and friendship. He was ever ready to act in
any capacity as a helper to good citizenship, and took a
deep interest in town affairs, and in all public spirit, but
rarely accepted any office save in the interests of education
and good morals. His last public utterance was an address
in the Unitarian church on "Kindness to the dumb
creatures," which to him was an indispensable part of a
good man's religion.
This man had no sordid ambitions for the accumulation
of wealth or to the display its misdirection sometimes
inspires. Indeed his lack of a robust constitution forbade
his engaging in any pursuit which exhausts the vital
energies. The profession of teaching which he took up
after abandoning that of the ministry, and which he loved,
and which he and Mrs. Pillsbury followed for years in joint
work, bore so hard upon his health that he left it for the
quiet and healthful atmosphere and freedom of the farm;
but even that was finally given up for a life of greater
ease and quiet.
Yet, whatever he turned his attention to, he lived for
humanity, for high aims, and everybody loved him for his
blameless life and his conspicuous, gentle virtues.

"I have not only known Mr, Pillsbury for a long term of years,

the greatest moral conflict this country has ever seen, — the anti-
slavery period. Some of his near relatives were residents of my

Some of his kindred were conspicuous in the formation of the Liberty
party, the forerunner of the Republican party of to-day. The family
has ever stood resolutely for the rights of man. Independence of
thought, speech and action has ever tieen a characteristic of its mem
bers. Such is the heritage of Albert E, Pillsbury,"
Mr. Pillsbury received his education iu the Milford .schools, iu
Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, N. H,, and Lawrence academy,
Groton, Mass,, and entered Harvard College in the class of 1871, but
did not graduate. .Subsequently he taught school for a year in Ster

He was admitted to the bar in Illinois, aii-d later iu Massachusetts,
opening an office in Boston, He was a member of the Massachusetts
House of Representatives from Ward 17, of Boston, in 1876, '77 and '78.
He was a member of the Massachusetts Senate from the Sixth Suffolk
District in 1884, '85 and '86, being president of the same the last two
years. In 1887 and again in 1894 he was offered and declined a seat
on the Superior Court Bench, and iu 1889 the position of Corporation
Counsel of Boston ; chosen Attorney-General of Mass,, 1892, '93 and
'94. Delivered the city oration before the authorities of Boston, July

from which he was graduated in 1841 with high honors.
He accepted a position as teacher in the Ellington Semi

one of the assistant teachers.
Mr. and Mrs. Pillsbury afterward taught in New Jersey
and founded a young ladies' seminary in Ludlow, Mass.

Previous to the breaking out of the Rebellion, Mr.
Pillsbury took an active part in the anti-slavery cause, and
his voice and pen were strenuously used in behalf of the
slaves. During the war he went South as an agent of the
Freedmen's Bureau. He located at Hilton Head, S. C,
and afterwards was stationed at Charleston, where with his
wife, he took an active part in the work of educating the
freedmen. He also had charge of an orphan asylum there
and was appointed to take charge of the abandoned pro
perty. During the reconstruction period, Mr. P. assisted in
framing the Constitution of South Carolina, and served
three years as mayor of the city of Charleston during the
most exciting period of its history. He was very popular
with the people, and at the close of his administration
they presented him with a gold watch and gold-headed
cane suitably inscribed. In 1872 he returned to Massa
chusetts and resided in Ludlow and -North Abington.

The story of Oliver Pillsbury's boyhood ig identical with
that of his elder brothers. At the age of seventeen he
became a pupil in the academy at Henniker, and pursued
his studies for nearly five years, teaching in the winter
months with marked success.
In 1839 he went to New Jersey and opened a tuition
school ; free schools had not then been established in that
state. He followed that vocation for eight years, occupied
a prominent place among the educators of New Jersey
and presided over the first school convention at the capitol.
His health becoming impaired, Mr. P. returned, to Hen
niker, bought his father's farm and for seventeen years
cultivated it with a skill born of intelligence and an ap-

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 137
preciation of the improved methods of agriculture. While
living the life of a farmer, he maintained a deep interest
in the public welfare. He was elected moderator of the
town meeting, selectman, and representative to the legis
lature several times.
In the darkest and most trying days of the Civil War he
was called to the executive council of Governors Berry and
Gilmore, and there made a record unsurpassed by any of
his colleagues for wise counsel, patriotic action, and devo
tion to the best interests of the state, and the brave soldiers
in the field.
The office of insurance commissioner which Mr. P. filled
ever since it was established by the legislature in 1869, till
his death, may be said to have been created by him. To
the duties of his office he brought that devotion and perse
verance which made his administration of it a marked
success and won for him the esteem of insured and under
writers. In other walks in life Mr. P. left an impress long to be
felt. He was the advisor and counsellor of many people
through life. He was interested in all movements that
made for the advancement and improvement of mankind
and added to their happiness. As an educator he took
high rank and was a devoted friend of education wherever
he resided. He took a deep interest in the project which
led to the establishment of the Concord Hospital and was
president of its board of trustees most of the time after
its organization.
If that life is long which answers life's great end, it can
be truly said of him that he attained great age, and went
home full of honor with the benediction of his fellow men.
After 1871 he made his home in Concord, N. H.

Though born in Johnsbury, N. Y., he spent his young
life in Vermont, whither the family moved in 1806. In
1820 he joined the M. E. church, and was soon appointed
class-leader. His gifts and graces were soon recognized,
and he was licensed to preach.
In 1835 he went West, and in 1840 was ordained elder
by Bishop Waugh. Being one of the pioneer preachers of
the heroic type, he was at once seen to be especially fitted
for laying the foundations on the frontiers. He served as
pastor for twelve different circuits and did grand work,
but the hardships he endured were too great for his mag
nificent physical manhood.
In 1863 he moved with his family to Iowa and made a
home on the now well-known Pillsbury Point, overlooking
the beautiful West Okoboji Lake.
Here he lived in quiet retirement, a genial, kindly
Christian gentleman, firm in his faith and deeply interested
in all the work of the church.

Charleston, S. C, where they remained five years. In
1822 they returned to Bucksport and the following year he

146 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
went to York county where he found employment as clerk
in a country store for six years.
From his cradlehood with the scrupulofis painstaking of
olden time, at home and at school, he was educated after
the faith of the good old Puritanic Westminster catechism,
but was converted to Methodism at the age of twenty, by
a travelling preacher.
In 1829 he went to the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, where
he was a student until 1834, when he was admitted on
trial into the Maine Conference. Thereafter for a score of
years his experiences were the toils and privations, with
scanty remuneration, of the itinerant Methodist preacher.
The latter part of Mr. Pillsbury's life was spent in his
native town. Though actively interested in everything
relating to the ministry and its work, he found time for
other matters, and to attend to other calls, serving from
1867 to 1884 as trial justice for Bucksport and the adjacent
towns. He was member of the general book committee
from 1848 to 1852, and of the general conference of 1852.
He also compiled a large and interesting volume, entitled
" History of Methodism in Maine."
In 1884, four years before his decease, by request of the
East Maine Conference, he delivered a semi-centennial
sermon at Camden, Me., the closing sentences of which
illustrate the man :
" Not boastingly, I am happy to feel that, having done what I
could, I have not lived almost seventy-eight vears altogether for
naught. I should be miserable indeed could I not reflect that the
world is a bit better for my having lived in it,"

one-half years.
In July, 1870, he was appointed by Governor Stearns
warden of the State Prison, holding the office till Sept.
1880. He was at one time in the lumber business. At another
he was running a stationary engine in the employ of the
Northern railroad. He served in the city governnient,
and was for years a member of the North Congregational

Three others died iu infancy.
In common with most boys of his generation, Amos
Pilsbury attended school and worked on the farm until
his thirteenth year, when his father, having been appointed
warden of the New Hampshire .state prison, removed with
his faniih^ to Concord. The next season Amos was sent
to the academy at that place, but. he was a diffident and
dull scholar. Preferring to learn a trade rather than be
kept at school, he was apprenticed to the tanning and
currying business, in which he remained between four and
five )ears. Finding it difficult to obtain employment at
his trade, Amos returned to school, but in April, 1824, he
accepted the offer of his father to become a watchman or
guard, of the prison of which the latter was warden, and
here commenced his career in the management and govern
ment of prisons, for which he became so justly celebrated,
and which continued to be the business of his Hfe ; at this
time he was but nineteen years of age.
Having performed the duties of guard for about a year,
he was appointed deputy warden. He was married in
1826, and continued to reside in Concord until the sum
mer of the next year, at which time his father and he

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 149
were solicited to take charge of the new state prison then
erecting at Wethersfield, Conn., about three miles from
Hartford. In July, 1827, he commenced as deputy under
his father as principal warden of that institution. The
latter continued until April, 1830, when Amos was ap
pointed to fill his place, and with a brief interval he re
tained the office until i Jan. 1845.
In 1843 the supervisors of Albaii}' county began to con
sider the expediency of erecting a penitentiary there, but
the requisite legislative authority was not obtained until
1844, and Amos Pilsbury was invited to supervise the
work. Of this penitentiary, with the exception of the
short period hereafter noticed, he had the .sole manage
ment and superintendence for twenty-seven years.
For information respecting this portion of Mr. P's life,
recourse may be had to David Dyer's "History of the
Albany Penitentiary. ' '
In June, 1859, he was elected general superintendent of
the metropolitan police in the city of New York, and
hence obtained the title of General, which was ever after
appHed to him. He was in many respects one of the best
superintendents that force ever had — brave, firm, wise
and incorruptible — but he was too honest to suit the pur
pose of scheming politicians, and rather than sacrifice his

eminent degree, and his personal habits were abstemious
and pure.

Pillsbury, of Bridgewater, N. H,, who combines in herself many of
the characteristics of her Pillsbury ancestry, more thail the passing
mention of a line is due.
As a girl ambitious to learn for the sake of knowledge in and of
itself. Miss Knowles was not satisfied with the education to be ob
tained in her country home, and commenced the study of Greek
while teaching a little country school. among the hills of New Hamp
shire. She fitted for college under great disadvantages, and finally
was able to enter Bates College, Lewiston, Me., in the year 1880. She
paid her own way through that institution, graduating with honor in
1884, with the degree of B. A.; but study and overwork had broken
down her health and she graduated ill with nervous prostration and
other troubles. For a year and a half she continued an invalid, un
able to do more than read. Thinking it best to take some systematic
course of reading, she turned her attention to the languages, but find
ing she was not gaining very much, and feeling that some knowledge
of law would be useful to her in whatever business she might under
take in the future, she commenced a course of law reading, directed
by catalogues of the great law schools. She became very much in
terested, but not having sufiicient funds to continue, and partially
regaining her health, she accepted a position in Western Normal
College, Iowa, as professor of Rhetoric and Elocution,
After holding this position two or three years, she went to Helena,
Montana, to teach in the public schools of that city. She taught in
Helena for a year and was elected principal of the West Side school
for the year ensuing. To occupy the summer vacation she went into
a law office, intending to resume teaching in the fall, but before the
vacation had expired decided she could make a success of the law and
resigned her position as teacher. From that time she has been
engaged in the practice of the legal profession, — that is, continued in

in Montana it was necessary to have a legislative enactment, which she
obtained by securing the introduction of a bill in the Legislature of
1889, permitting women to practice law in Montana, which after much
opposition was passed. Miss Knowles was admitted to the Bar soon
after, and was the first woman to practice law in Montana, and still

continu.es the "first and only," She modestly admits that she has
been unusually successful in her profession, having received large
fees which she believes she fully earned. Whether she received the
largest fee ever paid a woman lawyer she dogs not claim, though she
has been credited with it by the press. She says she received one of
Jio,ooo, and also other large fees, sometimes in the form of mining
properties of unknown value, but which are undoubtedly worth a
goodly sum.
In politics Miss Knowles obtained some distinction, having been
nominated as Attorney-General on the Populist ticket in 1892. She
ran five thousand votes ahead of her ticket and was subsequently
appointed Assistant Attorne)'-General of Montana, which office she
held four years.
During this time she was engaged in many cases involving large
interests to the state. In May, 1895, she was married to Hon, H, J,
Haskell, her successful opponent on the Republican^ ticket in 1892,
Mrs. Haskell has been repeatedly chosen delegate to national, state
and county conventions, is member of the Populist National Commit

Josiah H. Pillsbury was for some time one of the pro
prietors of the " Eagle," a reform paper published in New
York city. He had been previously engaged on the
" Anti- slavery Standard," was a close friend of Garrison
and Horace Greeley, and took an active part in the historic
struggle to make Kansas a free state.
He was one of the founders of Kansas, was an early
senator in the local government, and was a farmer and
civil engineer by profession. He established the "Man
hattan Independent" newspaper, editing aud publishing
it several years, was county surveyor, deputy collector of
internal revenue, and postmaster at the city of Manhattan
where he died. A more unselfish man can hardly have
lived ; he was a graceful and instructive public speaker,
a ready and vigorous writer, a deep thinker and a true
philanthropist.

Colonel Pillsbury's education has been gained chiefiy
through the school of practical life. He learned the shoe
maker's trade when fourteen years of age ; at twenty
started a shoe factory at Cilleysville, Andover, N. H., for
his brother Stephen, and was superintendent of the exten
sive concern for a year. To the age of early manhood he
gave all his earnings, over a plain living for himself, for
the support of his widowed mother, and to aid others in
need at the time.
When twenty-one years of age he did not possess a
dollar in money. Soon, however, he was engaged with a
firm of shoe manufacturers just starting business at Derry
Depot, N. H. About a year later he had entire charge
of the business there as an agent, and so continued during
the existence of the firm.
Upon the opening of the war of the Rebellion he enlisted
in his country's service, was commissioned ist lieutenant,
Co. I, 4th New Hampshire regiment, and left for the seat
of war in September 1861. Reaching Annapolis, Md., he
encountered a serious and disabling accident, resigned, and
returned north. A few months later, his health having im
proved, and the call for three hundred thousand men being
issued, he was appointed recruiting officer for the 9th New
Hampshire regiment of volunteers. He was commissioned
ist lieutenant, Co. A; his regiment proceeded to Wash
ington, was in the confiict at South Moujitain and the
battle of Antietam. Later, prostrated by a severe attack
of pneumonia, he resigned his commission, but as soon as
able to perform a little oversight service in business, he
was engaged superintending expert in training men manu
facturing shoes by New England methods at Wheeling,
W. Va. Gradually recovering his health he returned to
Londonderry, raised for the town its quota of thirty men

l66 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
under the last great call (1864), was commissioned ist
lieutenant, Co. D, Unattached Artillery. The company
served in several of the forts in the first and second divi
sion of the defences of the Capital.
He commanded for a time the battery ' ' Garryshay ' ' in
De Russd's division. Later he was appointed ordnance
officer of the ist brigade, Harding's division, and was
stationed at Fort Reno, Md., where he remained until the
close of the war. He was mustered out at Concord, N.H.,
15 June 1865.
A month later he was engaged in manufacturing shoes
at Londonderry, and successfully prosecuted the business
there until the need of larger buildings induced him to
remove his enterprise to Derry Depot. He formed a con
nection with the house of E- P- Phillips & Co., which lasted
until the close of their business in Derry. Soon after this
event he became agent for the noted firm of Clement,
Colburn & Co., now Colburn, Fuller & Co., of Boston,
shoe manufacturers at Derry Depot, N. H., which position
he still holds.
In Londonderry Colonel Pillsbury has served as moderator
at town meetings about nineteen years. He has repre
sented his town in the legislature, is a justice of the peace,
chairman of the board of trustees of the Leach library at
Londonderry, and is a Mason.
In June 1877 he was appointed aide-de-camp, with the
rank of colonel, on the staff of Governor Prescott. He is,
in politics, a Republican of lifelong standing, and a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church. A more public spirited
man is not known in New Hampshire. His notable busi
ness success is due among other reasons to his industry,
his high sense of honor, his heartiness and his remarkable
talent for the organization and prompt execution of plans.
Personally Colonel Pillsbury is exceedingly attractive
and cordial in manner. A true gentlemanly feeling char
acterizes his intercourse with all so fortunate as to meet
him, either in business or society.

When the war of the Rebellion broke out, Capt. Leonard
H. Pillsbury was a student at Phillips Exeter Academy.
The love of country was greater than the zeal for learning,
and he was so active in raising a company of soldiers in
Exeter, Manchester and Oxford, that he was commissioned
captain of Co. A, 9th regiment of volunteers. He went to
the defence of Washington about the time of Lee's attempt
ed raid, was in the battle of South Mountain, and next in
the terrible battle of Antietam, where he was wounded.
He was in the confiict at Fredericksburg, where nearly
one third of his company was disabled. Thence he went
to Vicksburg and was in the siege of that place under
General Grant.
When the war was practically over he resigned and
returned to New Hampshire, but soon receiving an ap
pointment in the customs department in New York city,
he resided there until, health failing, he went upon a farm
he owned in Kansas ; subsequently he accepted the posi
tion of United States Commissioner and Assistant Clerk
of the United States Circuit and District Court at Mem
phis, Tenn. Thence he returned to Londonderry, and is
now a justice of the peace, merchant and postmaster at
Derry Depot. He is a man of marked ability, a popular
public speaker, and a thoroughly respected citizen.

Mr. Pillsbury received a good common school education
in his native town, and at the age of eighteen went to
Boston where he found employment in the grocery and
fruit store of Job Davis, a native of Sutton, then doing
business under Boylston Market. He remained in Boston
but little more than a year, when he returned to Sutton
and engaged in the manufacture of stoves and sheet iron
ware with his cousin, John C. Pillsbury.
In the winter of 1840 he went to Warner as clerk in
the store of John H. Pearson, and in July following pur
chased the business and conducted it successfully for nearly
eight years. In the spring of 1848 he went into a whole
sale dry-goods house in Boston where he remained for a
year. In 1849 he returned to Warner where he again
opened a store which he conducted until 1851, when he
sold out his business and removed to Concord. During
his residence in Warner he served as selectman and treas
urer, represented the town in the legislature in 1850-51,
and was postmaster from 1844 to 1849.
In November, 1851, Mr. Pillsbury received from the
Concord Railroad Corporation an appointment as purchas
ing agent for the road, which position he held continuously
until July 1875.
During a residence of nearly twenty-seven years in Con
cord, Mr. Pillsbury was called upon to fill many impor
tant positions of honor and trust, and he did much toward
building up and beautifying the city. He was one of the
organizers and directors of the First National Bank, in
1864, was elected its president in 1866, and continued to
hold that office until his removal from the State twelve
years later. He was also one of the organizers of the
National Savings Bank, and its first president, which posi
tion he held from 1867 to 1874. He served in the Board
of Aldermen from Ward Five in 1873 and 1874, as repre-

170 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
sentative in the legislature from the same ward in 187 1 and
1872, and as one of the committee of three in 1876 to ap
praise all the real estate in Concord for purposes of taxation.
He was elected mayor of the city in 1876 and re-elected in
1877. During his residence in Concord he was active in all
enterprises for the improvement and welfare of the city,
and was a generous contributor to benevolent and charitable
objects. He served as one of the building committee of the
high school edifice in 1863 ; as one of the trustees of the
Centennial Home for the Aged, to the starting of which
he contributed liberally; and was also trustee of the State
Orphans' Home, on the Webster Farm in Franklin, which
position he held until his removal from the State. The
bell above the dome on the Board of Trade building was a
gift from him to the city of Concord, and the fine organ
in the First Baptist Church was the joint gift of himself
and his son, Hon. Charles A. Pillsbury.
When Mr. Pillsbury removed from Concord to Minne
apolis in March, 1878, complimentary resolutions were
passed unanimously by the City Council, the directors of
the First National Bank, the First Baptist Church and
Society, and the Webster Club, and a similar testimonial
signed by more than three hundred of the leading citizens,
representing all classes of business men and professions,
was presented to him.
Mr. Pillsbury's life in the North-west has been no less
active than it was in the East. As a member of the firm
of C. A. Pillsbury & Co., the largest fiouring firm in
the world, it would seem as though he might have found
ample employment for his time. But in his new home
other honors awaited him.
In 1884 he was elected mayor of Minneapolis for two
years, has served as president of the City Council, the
Minneapolis Board of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce,
the Homoepathic Hospital and the Minneapolis Free Dis
pensary, the Board of Water Works, the Pillsbury &
Hurlbert Elevator Co., the St. Paul and Minneapolis
Baptist Union, the Minnesota Baprist State Convention,
and the American Baptist Missionary Union ; as vice-presi
dent of the Minnesota Loan and Trust Co.; as president
of the North-western National Bank, as director of the

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 171
Manufacturers' National Bank and the Minneapolis Eleva
tor Co.; as a member of the School Board and of the Board
of Park Commissioners, and held trusteeships in many
other organizations.
Before leaving New Hampshire Mr. Pillsbury contributed
liberally to Colby Academy, at New London, and since he
located in Minneapolis he has given two buildings — one
a ladies' boarding hall and the other an academy building —
to the Pillsbury Academy at Owatonna, Minnesota, erected
in 1886 and 1889, respectively, at an expense of $75,000.
In 1 89 1 he again generously remembered his native state
of New Hampshire. To his native town of Sutton he pre
sented a fine soldiers' monument. To the town of Warner,
where most of his early business life was spent, a beautiful
free library building of brick, with granite trimmings, an
edifice of which the town may be justly proud. To the
city of Concord a noble structure intended for a general
hospital, erected on a commanding site, in honor of his
wife, Margaret Sprague Pillsbury, on the fiftieth anni
versary of their marriage. The narrow limits of these
pages forbids more than a general mention of these gener
ous gifts ; a more detailed description may be found in the
memorial volume published in Concord in 1891, by the
Republican Press Association.
Mr. Pillsbury is a gentleman of great personal magnet
ism, genial and affable in manner and possessed of en
tertaining and attractive conversational powers. Warm
hearted and generous, he has ever been ready to respond
to calls of distress, not only with good counsel, but with
more substantial aids, as many an unpublished charity in
Concord and other cities and towns will attest.
All who approach him are sure of kindly greeting, and
any petition for favors receives patient consideration and
courteous reply. With the young he has been companion
able, and with his conservative and liberal views of life,
he has been able to impart much valuable advice and in
formation. His mind is well disciplined and evenly bal
anced, and his habits very systematic. He possesses sound
practical judgment, and great executive ability. In early
life he received a thorough business training, and in his
dealings with men he has been straightforward and liberal.

In his enterprises he looked beyond the present and results
seldom disappointed him. In public life his administra
tion of affairs was most satisfactory and able, and won for
him the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. His
ability, upright character, and genial ways won for him
hosts of friends in both East and the western home of
his adoption.

Mr. Pillsbury's opportunities for education were limited,
and during his boyhood were confined to the common
schools of his native town. In those in the neighborhood
of his birthplace no such opportunities were afforded for
an education as exist to-day. Work was required of all,
and in his early teens we find young Pillsbury commencing
to learn the painter's trade. At about sixteen years of
age his natural taste for trade and business led him to
abandon painting and enter upon a mercantile life. He
commenced as clerk for his brother, Geo. A. Pillsbury, in
a general country store at Warner, N. H., continuing for
four years in the employ of his brother, and for two or
three years with William Carter, Jr. , who succeeded his
brother in business. Shortly after reaching his majority
he entered into a trading partnership with Walter Harri
man, at Warner, which continued about two years.
A peculiar coincidence of this partnership was that in
after life Harriman became governor of New Hampshire,

i

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 1 73
and Pillsbury governor of Minnesota. It was in those
early experiences of life in a country store that John Pills
bury developed that business sagacity which afterward
made the name of Pillsbury co-extensive with that of the
United States, and everywhere suggestive of business en
terprise and success. The discipline and experience which
he obtained in the New England country store of forty
years ago, and the long time he was at service as an ap
prentice and clerk, contrast sharply with the idea which
prevails among young men of to-day, who seem to think
that a year's experience as an employee of others fits them
for any position. But it was those long days and nights
of hard work which developed the thorough and success
ful man of later years.
After the partnership with Harriman terminated, Mr.
Pillsbury removed to Concord, where for two years he was
engaged as merchant tailor and a cloth dealer. During
these years he had been watching the signs of the times
and became convinced that the largest opportunities for
business success were in the West, and in 1853 he started
on a trip of observation for the purpose of finding a desir
able place in which to locate permanently.
After considerable travel through the Western and
North-western states, in June 1855 he visited Minnesota,
and when he saw the Falls of St. Anthony he became
convinced that sooner or later a large metropolis would be
built there. He settled permanently at what was then
St. Anthony, but what is now an essential part of the city
of Minneapolis.
He at once engaged in the hardware business with
George F. Cross and Woodbury Fisk, his brother-in-law.
The firm prospered until in the stormiest days of the panic
of 1857, a loss of about $38,000 by fire in a single night,
occurred. This loss to most men at such a time would
have been ruinous, but Mr. Pillsbury reorganized the
business and started anew. His honesty in dealing, and
the fact that he never misrepresented the quality or value
of his goods, kept his old customers and added new ones ;
he was not troubled by the competition of rival houses.
He continued in the hardware business until 1875, when
he sold out for the purpose of engaging more largely in

174 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
the milling business. A few years before this he had,
with his nephew, Charles A. Pillsbury, established the
milling firm of C. A. Pillsbury & Co., which afterward
comprised his brother, Geo. A. Pillsbury, and another
nephew, Fred. C. Pillsbury. Of the present magnitude of
this business it is not necessary to speak here, more than
to say that the firm is doing the largest business in its
line in the world, and the products of its mills are known
the world over.
Not only did Mr. Pillsbury attend to his own business
matters, but he became prominent in local affairs, and in
1858 was elected a member of the City Council of St.
Anthony, which position he held by successive re-elec
tions for six years. When the War of the Rebellion broke
out, he rendered efficient services in organizing the First,
Second and Third Regiments of Minnesota Volunteers,
and in 1862 he, with others, raised and equipped a mounted
company for service in the Indian outbreak in Minnesota.
The affairs of the University of Minnesota early claimed
his attention. Struggling under a heavy burden of debt
and unable to obtain any appropriation from the legisla
ture, or raise funds in other ways, it seemed as if the in
stitution must go down. Mr. Pillsbury felt a great inter
est in high-grade schools and colleges, and wished that
others might enjoy the facilities of which he was deprived
in his youth. In his own mind he determined that the
University should not go down until he had made every
effort to save it. In 1863 he was appointed one of its
regents and proceeded to grapple with its financial problems.
This same year he was elected a member of the State
Senate, of which body he continued a member with one
or two brief interludes, until 1876, during which period
he made the affairs of the University and its management
his study, and at last had the satisfaction of seeing it freed
from the dangers which threatened to destroy it.
In 1889, wi-shing to build and equip a hall of science
for the University, the demand for which had become
pressing, and the legislature being willing to appropriate
but $100,000 for the purpose, Gov. Pillsbury offered to
erect and complete the proposed building at an expense of
$150,000 more or less and present it to the State. His

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 1 75
munificent offer was received with deepest gratitude by
the legislature and people of Minnesota.
Mr. Pillsbury was always a Republican in politics. His
splendid success in business and his wonderful manage
ment of the affairs of the University had made him one of
the prominent men of the State, and in 1875, without any
effort on his part he was nominated and elected its gov
ernor. To the discharge of his new duties Governor Pills
bury brought remarkable qualifications.
Uniting breadth of view with prompt business sagacity,
he was peculiarly fitted for the guidance of a young com
monwealth struggling with unwonted difficulties. Follow
ing the financial panic of 1873, the people had emerged
from an experience of feverish inflation to find themselves
harassed with local debt and confronted with reduced
values. To this was added the grasshopper scourge which
in many localities infiicted poverty upon the people, while
everywhere, in town and country, all avocations, especially
agriculture, the basis of common prosperity, suffered a
depression wholly without precedent. Never, even amid
the Civil War and Indian outbreaks, was discouragment
deeper or more widespread among the people.
The history of the State of Minnesota for the next six
years cannot be condensed into the scanty space which
these pages allow. It is crowded full with incidents and
acts of the greatest importance. It is seldom indeed that
the highest officer of an American commonwealth is charged
with so many and important duties as those whiqh crowded
the administration of Gov. Pillsbury.
What with the labor of repelling the grasshopper inva
sions, the efforts to rescue the settlers from their ravages,
the duty of adjusting the claims of numerous settlers of
railroad lands, the appointment of many new judicial and
other officers, the trials following the destruction of the
state Capitol, the demands pertaining to the care for new
accommodations, the providing for the inmates of the
burned insane asylum, and the various labors and respon
sibilities in adjusting a long standing indebtedness, which
saved the credit of the State and subserved public justice —
there was a ceaseless demand upon the governor's time
and attention.

176 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
Governor Pillsbury has been also heavily engaged in
lumbering and real estate ; he has also been identified in
the construction of railroads which have tended to develop
the north-west, and is largely interested as a director of
the Minneapolis & St. Louis, and the Minneapolis, St.
Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railroads. For many years he
has been a director in several of the leading Minneapolis
banks, among them being the First National bank, the
Union National bank, and the Commercial bank.
He is also president of the Board of Regents of the
University of Minnesota, a director in the Pillsbury- Wash
burn Flour Mills Co., and also a director of the Minne
apolis Stock Yards and Packing Co. He is also interested
in and an officer of other manufacturing and mercantile
concerns, and an officer and trustee in several benevolent
institutions. His business judgment has been sought by
all, and he has always exercised great weight in the coun
sels of the various kinds of business with which he has
been identified.
One of his chief personal traits has been his simplicity
of manner, and his sympathy for those in need. His per
sonal charities and benevolences to deserving causes have
been large.
Although the early education of Governor Pillsbury was
confined to the common schools of Sutton as they existed
a half century ago, and he has not had the opportunities
which every child of to-day possesses, yet by constant
reading and thought he has become educated as few col
lege graduates are. His range of reading is large, run
ning through the different departments of literature,
although questions of finance, economics, history, politics,
and other sociological subjects have his preference.
In his personal habits Governor Pillsbury is thoroughly
temperate and has no excesses. With a modest disposition,
he never parades his doings, and were it not for the public
press, a person might live next door to Governor Pillsbury
for a decade without learning what he had accomplished
or what he was proposing to do.
Following the example of his elder brother, in the year
1892 Governor Pillsbury presented to his native town of

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 1 77
Sutton, N. H., a fine town hall, being a memorial to his
parents, John and Susan Pillsbury.
Who will doubt that the family name will be kept green
in Sutton for many generations ?

Mr. Pillsbury was personally better known, perhaps, in
his native town of Sutton, until his removal to Minnesota
in 1878, than either of his surviving brothers, for the
reason that he not only spent all his youth there, but many
of his maturer years, and also took great interest in town
affairs, holding the offices of selectman and town treasurer
for several years in succession, and representing the town
in the legislature of the state. He served as a public
officer longer than any other citizen of his time.
Like his brothers he was possessed of the best business
judgment, great energy and financial ability, and the large
lumber and elevator business, and the extensive farms
which he carried on in western Minnesota at the time of
his death, indicate his success in life.

Bangor, Me. , and entered into the grocery and commission
business, real estate and building, where he remained until
1847. He next went into much the same business in New
York city, continuing in it twelve years. Desiring to make
a change, he removed to Montclair, N. J., and established
a produce and commission, real estate and building agency.
Soon he was appointed commissioner of deeds, and elected
one of the justices for the trial of such causes as come
before municipal courts, which position he held until he
removed from Montclair.

After a long and active business life, Mr. P. retired to
spend the remainder of his days in the enjoyment of a
well-earned rest.
Being one of a large family and circle of kindred, he
always felt an interest in the reunions of the Pillsbury
family, and took great pride in being the patriarch of the
company at every gathering at which he was present.

Mr. Pillsbury was one of the first settlers of Lawrence,
Mass., and in 1847 erected a building which was intended
for the promotion of the arts and sciences, and for the
physical, mental and moral improvement of wayfaring
men, and was named the Montezuma House. A gentle
man who knew him says:
"The builder was a problem past finding out. He
must have been intended by nature for one of our greatest
men , with some unaccountable mistake in the finishing. ' '
He left Lawrence just before the war, and purchased an
island near where Rowley river enters Plum Island sound,
which he called the Isle of Patmos.
He always attracted attention when he visited Newbury
port from the peculiar style of dress he followed, being
that of 1776.

Mr. PHlsbury was in early life a school teacher, but he
subsequently studied law and entered the practice in his
native town, Kingfield, Me. In early life he was a Whig,
but on the breaking up of the parties in or about 1854-56,
he went with the Democrats, and from that date he was a
strong and active member of the Democratic party.
About the time of the breaking out of the Rebellion,
Mr. Pillsbury was a resident of Farmington, Me., when, in

connection with Mr. Joseph A. Linscott, he published the
famous " Franklin Patriot." In 1866 he was candidate of
the Democratic party in Maine for governor, having for
his competitor Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain.
In 1867-8 he enjoyed the honor of leading his party,
though not to success. He became a resident of Augusta,
and editor of the ' ' Maine Standard, ' ' which remained under
his control till he left the State in 1880. He practiced law
during this period. He was a good advocate, and was
called to many important criminal cases. In 1880 he came
to Boston and entered the practice of law. As a pleader
before the jury he had but few equals. He was alwaj'S
very earnest in politics — he knew how to give and take
blows, and was a Democrat to the back-bone.
Mr. P. was one of the few men in whom were united
great abilities with perfect integrity, and a genial, kind
and pleasant nature. He was highly esteemed by those
who came in contact with him for his cordiality and kind
ness. He was one of the handsomest men in New Eng
land, and was a central figure in all gatherings in which
he participated.

great labor of his life was at Columbus, Ohio, where in
1870 he was employed as chief engineer to supply that
capital with water from the Scioto river.

Mr. G. L. Pillsbur)' has been described by those who knew him as a
man of remarkably fine disposition, generous and whole-souled. His
pleasing and gentlemanly manners never failed to win him iriends
wherever he went. For a number of years he was proprietor of a
restaurant and hotel in Marietta which brought him in contact with
the travelling public, in whose estimation he always held a foremost
place. He was a man of considerable musical talent and played a
large number of instruments. Perhaps this quality, more than all
others, made him especially popular. Of late years he had taught
music in Marietta and Parkersburg. At the time of his death he was
at the head of one of the departments of the Athens State Hospital.

in his own words : "I was down South when the war
broke out, and after many trials got through to Wheeling,

Va. Soon after I enlisted in Battery D, ist West Virginia
Light Artillery, and stayed at the front as a private until
the war was over, being the only representative of New
England in the Battery. Was known as the live Yankee
of the organization ; was recommended for promotion
several times, but was sat down on by the captain every
time because I was very near-sighted and unfit for position.
Was thrown out by examiner when I enlisted on account
of near-sightedness, but pushed my way through with the
help of spectacles, and have never been sorry for it. I
was always a good fighter at the front, and worked No. 6
on the gun in every fight. The only regret I have is
that the Pillsbury family lost the record of a general on
account of my short-sighted eyes."
A worthy descendant of a revolutionary sire (38).

" Lieut. Com. John Elliott Pillsbury, U. S. N. After
the death of his father in 1858, he first obtained a position
in a store in Boston, but through the influence of Hon.
Albert Smith he was appointed a page in the House of
Representatives in Washington, in 1859, where he re
mained during the stirring times incident to the beginning
of the Civil War. At the request of the late Admiral
Joseph Smith, he was appointed a midshipman by Presi
dent Lincoln, on Sept. 22, 1862.
' ' After graduating from the Naval Academy, he was
(after a short cruise on the ' Minnesota ' in Europe) sent
to the North Pacific Squadron, serving there on board the
'Mohican,' ' Saranac ' and 'Saginaw.' Returning from
the Pacific Station in 1869, he was stationed at the Charles
town Navy Yard until the following spring, when he
joined the ' Colorado ' on the staff of Rear Admiral John
Rogers for a cruise in Asiatic waters. During this cruise
he was in command of one of the companies in the land
ing party in the fight with the Coreans. Returning home
in July, 1872, he was again stationed at the Navy Yard,
Charlestown, and afterward at the torpedo station at New--
port, R. I. In 1874 he joined the ' Swatara ' for a cruise
round the world to carry the five parties from America
who were to observe the transit of Venus in the Southern
Hemisphere. Upon reaching New York in 1875 in the
early summer, he was ordered to the coast survey steamer
' Blake,' which vessel was engaged in deep-sea soundings
along the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico. In Feb.
1877, he was detached from the ' Blake ' on account of
illness and for some months was on sick leave, and after
wards on duty at the Hydrographic Office at Washington.
In 1879 he was ordered to the ' Kearsarge,' and for three
years was on board that vessel in the North Atlantic
squadron. His next duty was at the Coast Survey Office
at Washington, where he remained until Dec. 1884, when
he was ordered to the command of the coast survey
steamer 'Blake.' This vessel was engaged during the
five years that she was under his command in investigating
the currents of the Gulf Stream, with an instrument
devised by himself, by which the currents could be ascer
tained at various depths from the surface to the bottom.

7

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 201
By this investigation he determined the volume of the
Gulf Stream, and the hitherto unknown laws regarding
the daily and monthly variations in rate of flow. In Feb.
1891, he was ordered to the ' Newark,' and was detached
in June 1893. The vessel was attached to the North At
lantic squadron a part of the time, and in Europe to join
in the Columbus celebrations in Spain and Italy.
" His writings have been wholly confined to professional
subjects, and to the hydrographic branch, — ' Dangers of
the South Pacific,' 'Atlantic Coast Pilot,' 'Charts and
Chartmaking, ' and 'The Gulf Stream.' "

Mr. Pillsbury was the father of the Family History.
Deeply interested in genealogical research, he early com
menced to collect facts and statistics relating to his family,
though delicate health and limited means made his pro
gress slow. A mutual acquaintance introduced him to
the present compiler, who had been groping about for
ancestors for a number of years.
The two worked together for four years, until Mr.
P.'s failing health and strength made writing an effort.
Three months before his death he forwarded all his
notebooks and manuscripts to his fellow-worker to take
up the task of completion as she should see fit. The
volume stands a memorial to one who was indeed ' ' faithful
over a few things."

Although Mr. Pilsbury was born in Bucksport, Me., in
1851 his parents removed to Wenhani, Mass., and thence
in 1859 to Charlestown which is still his home. His
early educational training was received in the schools of
Charlestown. He began business life in the employ of
Champney Bros. & Co., wholesale smallware dealers in
Boston. 5 March 1873, he opened business on his own
account, ladies' and gents' furnishings, at 305 Main
street, Charlestown.
Here he has continued with a fiourishing trade, enlarg
ing his establishment from time to time as necessity
required. In 1882 and 1883 he was a member of the Legislature,
and in 1887 and 1889 of the Senate. He served on the
Committee on Prisons, in 1882, 1883 and 1887, being clerk
of the same in 1883 ; on the Committee on Water Supply
in 1887 ; was chairman of the Committee on Hoosac
Tunnel, and Troy and Greenfield R. R. in 1887, and in
1889 was a member of the Committee on Woman Suffrage,
and chairman of the Committee on Railroads.
In 1889 Mayor Hart appointed Mr. Pilsbury a member
of the Boston Board of Health. In 1892 Mayor Matthews
appointed him a Commissioner of Public Institutions, and
in May 1893 he received a re-appointment for a term of
three years.
The Board of Commissioners of Public Institutions
having been abolished by legislative enactment, Mr.
Pilsbury was appointed by Mayor Curtis, i July 1895, a

228 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
member of the Board of Health for the remainer of the
term of three years beginning i May 1895.
Mr. Pilsbury is Past Grand Master, I. O. O. F., of
Mass.; Past Dictator of the Knights of Honor; ex-
superintendent of the Universalist Sabbath School, and
has been prominent in various literary, social and political
organizations. Mr. P. was one of the promoters of the Family Associa
tion, and at its first meeting was chosen secretary, which
position he has ever since most efficiently filled.

Mr. Pilsbury went to Concord at an early age and en
tered the employ of the Northern R. R., as fireman, in
which service he remained until a short time before the
breaking out of the Civil War. He enlisted with his
brother in the i6tli Connecticut regiment, and soon found
himself in active service. He was in the battles of Antietam
and South Mountain and was taken prisoner. He was
confined in the prisons of Andersonville and Florence for
nine months, and when he was released and returned to
Concord he was a physical wreck.
His health soon improved, however, and he resumed his
place in the employ of the railroad, going into the machine
shop. July 12, 1870, he was appointed deputy warden in

230 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
the State prison of which his father was warden. He re
mained in this position until 1880, when he went West
and engaged in the clothing business in St. Paul, Minn.
Soon after the appointment of Warden Dodge, Mr. Pilsbury
was induced to give up his business in St. Paul, and he
was again made deputy warden, holding the position until
about four years previous to his decease, when he went
into the wood and coal business wtth Mr. Charles H. Day.

The branch of the family to which Mr. Pilsbury belongs
has been engaged in prison work for nearly a century. He
is the oldest living prison warden in the point of service
in America. His father, Amos Pilsbury, was known
throughout the country for the skill, fidelity and efiiciency
with which he managed the afiairs of the various prisons
with which he had to do, and the son has followed in his
footsteps. At the age of sixteen he was appointed a guard
at the Albany Penitentiary, of which institution his father
was superintendent. From guard he advanced through
the successive grades of promotion, filling every position
below that of superintendent, until on March i, 1873, he
was appointed by the Joint Board to succeed his father.
He held the position until 1879, when having been ap
pointed to a higher and more important trust, he retired.
In 1877 he was appointed by Governor Robinson, of
New York, superintendent of State prisons, which position
he held five years. His last charge has been the peni
tentiary at BlackwelPs Island, New York harbor.

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 23 1
Constant care of criminals and association with prison
life have not hardened Warden Pilsbury's nature. He is
jolly rather than morose and stern, as one would naturally
think such a long term of years as a prison warden would
make him. Although he has spent all his life about
prisons he is a well-read man, and has countless acquaint
ances and friends in the large cities throughout the country.
He resides in a commodious residence on BlackwelPs
Island, just north of the penitentiary.

ing his diploma, he taught school at intervals to earn
money enough to pay his way. His father at that time
was a comparatively poor man, and he is not ashamed of
the fact that while he was a boy he often sold newspapers
on the street.
After finishing his course in college he went to Montreal,
and was employed as a clerk in a general produce com
mission store for three years, and acquired a small interest
in the business which he sold out and went West. His
uncle, John S. Pillsbury, since governor of Minnesota, at
that time had just removed to Minneapolis, and thither

240 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
Charles turned his footsteps in 1869, and soon after bought
an interest in a small flour mill at the Falls.
At that time there were four or five mills in Minneapolis,
but they were all of the old-fashioned sort, using buhr-
stones for reducing the grain. He applied himself per-
sistentl)' to learn the details of the business, always alert
to adopt new methods, and resolved to make the best pro
duct possible. About this time the middlings purifier, a
Minneapolis invention,, was introduced, and gradually per
fected so as to produce a revolution in connection with
other improvements in the process of milling.
The Christians, the Washburns, the Pillsburys, re
modeled their mills and put the new process flour on the
market, each vying with the other to produce the best
fiour. How well ^Ir. Pillsbury succeeded is attested by
the favor with ^vhicll " Pillsbury's Best " was received in
all the markets of the country, being soon recognized as
the best brand of flour in the world.
In 1872 Mr. Pillsbury had gained such prestige and
success in milling, that he associated his father, George A.
(his uncle, John S., had from the beginning been inter
ested with him), in the business and graduaHy enlarged
its scope and operations. At a later period his brother,
Fred C. Pillsbury, was admitted to the firm, which con
tinued as Charles A. PilLsbury & Co., until the acquisition
of the property by the English sjaidicate which now con
trols it.
To the original mill were added by purchase or lease
the Pillsbury "B" mill, the Empire, Excelsior, and
Anchor mills. These were all rebuilt and fitted with the
most improved and modern machinery. To supply them
with wheat, the Millers' Association was organized, whose
buyers penetrated all parts of the northwrest, and made
selections from the grain fields of the best wheat for the
Minneapolis mills.
A system of elevators for the storage of the immense
supplies of wheat needed to keep the mills in operation,
was buHt, distributed through the wheat districts of the
north-western states and territories.
Not content with these achievements the milling firm
determined to build a new mill which was located on the

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 241
water power of the east side of the river. Mr. PHlsbury
visited Europe to study the process of milling in vogue
there, and went to Buda Pesth, the seat of the celebrated
Hungarian mills which then produced the best known
flour to all European tastes. Having mastered all the
science and practical skill of the business, he proceeded
with the equipment of the Pillsbury "A" mill. When
completed it had a capacity of 9000 barrels of flour per
day, and was then and remains to-day the largest and best
flour mill in the world.
To say that Mr. Pillsbury has organized a milling busi
ness with a capacity of 22,500 barrels of flour per day,
with the accompanying methods of securing a constant
supply of over 100,000 bushels of wheat per day, and
distributing the product in all the markets in the country,
and many foreign ones ; that the business has prospered
through droughts, panics, and strikes, and that no combi
nation of aggressors or grangers has been able to crush it,
is sufficient without words to characterize the sagacity,
enterprise, and breadth of purpose of the mind which has
planned and the firmness of the hand whioh held the helm .
In 1890 the mills and business were sold to an English
syndicate, which acquired besides the milling property of
the Washburns, and the water power of the Falls of St.
Anthony. Mr. Pillsbury remains as manager of the
property, and one of the three American directors, receiv
ing it is said the largest salary paid to any business manager
in the whole country.
In connection with the milling business Mr. Pillsbury
has become widely prominent in benevolent and economic
circles, by his early introduction of, and persistence in
adhering to, a system of profit-sharing with his em
ployees. The profits of' the year after apportioning to
capital invested a reasonable interest, are divided between
capital and labor on an equitable basis. Under this plan,
as high as $25,000 per year has been distributed among
the employees of the firm, while at the same time they
have received liberal wages and are not made liable for
any losses in business.
It is understood that Mr. Pillsbury claims no considera
tion of benevolence in this unique distribution of profits,

242 PILLSBURY GENEALOGV.
but puts it on the ground of wise business prudence, like
insurance and kindred safeguards. While strikes and
lockouts have occasionally disturbed the course of other
lines of business in the vicinity, they have never come to
vex the tranquility of Mr. Pillsbury, the whole working
force having been interested in the success of the business.
So busy a man has naturally declined office and political
honors, though these have been repeatedly tendered him.
The only exception during his residence in Minneapolis
was the office of State senator which he held for the ten
years succeeding Jan. i, 1877. He is popular with all
clashes, easily accessible, and democratic in his associa
tions. His large fortune is liberally used in the promo
tion of public interests, and bounteously distributed in the
channels of a wide beneficence.

Mr. Pillsbury started for Minneapolis in 1872 in com
pany with his uncle ex-Gov. John S. PiHsbury. He
became a clerk in the hardware store of his uncle and
remained there until 1875 when he was admitted as one
of the partners of the general milling firm of C. A.
Pillsbury & Co. He continued an active member of the
firm until the business was partially sold out to an English
syndicate in 1890. He retained an active interest in the
new combine, but was not active in the management of
the company. He had previously acquired an interest in
the Northwestern Milling Company, and when this firm
with others was consolidated as the Northwestern Con
solidated Milling Company he was one of its leading
spirits. He was a member of the board of directors and
chairman of the executive committee.
He was also connected with and owned large interests
in three different elevator companies, and was besides

PILLSBURY GENEALOGY. 243
active in other business matters. He was a director of the
First National Bank and a member of the board of
managers of the state reformatory at St. Cloud, and of the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce. During the year 1890
he was president of the Minnesota Agricultural Society
and placed it in a more prosperous condition than it had
been for years. He was a member and also director of the
Minneapolis Driving Park Association.
Mr. Pillsbury was a Free Mason and had advanced to
the highest degrees of the order. He took a great interest
in the work of his lodges, and when the idea of a Masonic
Temple was advanced he entered into it with great zest.
A Republican in politics, he was one of the conservative
politicians. He never held a political office because he
never was a seeker after honors. He had a host of friends
and was decidedly popular.

Mr. Pillsbury lived on the home farm with his parents
until the spring of 1851 when they removed to Saco,
York county. Me., where he was engaged for a time by the
York Manufacturing Corporation in their mills and dye-
house. His health failing him in the summer of 1853 he
left the corporation, attended school for a time, passed an
examination and commenced teaching.
In the beginning of the year 1855 being threatened
with consumption he determined to remove to the West,
and started for Illinois with his bride in March of that
year. They labored for eight years on a farm, when in
April, 1863, he entered the law ofiice of Samuel Fleming
in Pontiac, the county seat of Livingston county, and the
following year was admitted to the bar. He formed a
partnership with his old preceptor and in a short time had
acquired a lucrative practice and an exceHent reputation
as a sound lawj'er, and, what is better still, an honest one.
In November, 1879, he was elected from the Forty-fourth
legislative district a member of the convention to frame a
new constitution for the State of Illinois which had out
grown its constitution of 1848. New and important
questions were constantly pressing themselves upon the
attention of the people, among which may be mentioned
the power of the people to control corporations ; to fix
rates of transportation, both freight and passenger, by
common carriers ; to prevent unjust discrimination by
such carriers to either individuals or localities ; to prevent
injustice to the grain producer by warehouse-men ; to
restrict the right of eminent domain as theretofore exer-

250 pillsbury genealogy.
cised ; to reform the judicial and legislative system of the
State, and many others of equal importance not essential
to be mentioned.
In 1873 Mr. Pillsbury was elected judge of the thirteenth
judicial circuit of the State, comprising three counties with
about 100,000 inhabitants, for the term of six years.
In 1877 the circuits were doubled up, an Appellate
court established, and an additional judge elected, some
of whom were to be selected by the Supreme court to
serve as judges of this higher court. Mr. Pillsbury was
elected as one of the judges of this Appellate court from
the date of its organization. He was re-elected at the
expiration of his term of six years as one of the judges of
the new district then having a population of about
200,000, and was again appointed by the supreme court
to a seat upon said Appellate bench where he remained
for another six years.
It may be said perhaps that, as a proof of his popularity
as a judge having jurisdiction over all matters both civil
and criminal, he was again re-elected for a third term of
six years and was again re-appointed to the Appellate
bench. During his service on the Appellate bench he wrote
many opinions to be found in the first twenty-six volumes
of the Appellate court reports of the State of Illinois,
some of which are of great interest to the legal profession,
but of little value to the general reader.
In 1 89 1 he was by the bar and people generally urged to
become a candidate for the fourth term, but on account of
injuries received during his second term he did not feel
physically able to undertake the work. On June. ist, 1882,
while returning to his home in Chicago, the passenger
train was seized by a mob of union strikers who desired
to capture and beat certain non-union laborers who were
then being carried to their homes by the railroad company.
The rioters commenced firing in and about the cars and
the judge received a painful wound from which he has
never recovered, and which causes him at times intense
suffering. Since his retirement from the bench in 1891 Judge
Pillsbury has pursued his profession of the practice of law

general practice, but selecting such matters only as he

Mr. Pillsbury entered the Wesleyan Seminary at Kent's
Hill, Me., and at the close of the Sophomore year
responded to his country's call by entering the service in
Co. I, 17th Maine Inf., and served two years in the
army of the Potomac, when he was discharged on account
of illness.
He completed his studies in the seminary and then
entered Boston Theological University, graduating from
there in 1868, having previously joined the ministry of
the M. E. church in the New Hampshire conference. He
returned to his native State, joined the Maine conference,
served an important church in Kittery, then in Portland,
and other fields.
In 1872 he went to Iowa, united with the Iowa
conference, serving the most important charges there for
seventeen years. He received the degree of M. A. from
an Iowa college in 1879, and the degree of D. D. from De
Pauw college, Ind., in 1882.
In 1885 he went to Nebraska, joined the North
Nebraska conference and was appointed to Fullerton ;
served one year, and was recalled to Iowa, remaining
three years at Oskaloosa, then on account of his wife's
health returned to Nebraska, serving the First church at
Grand Island, and Fullerton. Near the close of this last
pastorate he was urged by a large constituency to accept
the Republican nomination for the office of treasurer of
Nance county, which nomination he accepted, but con
tinued his connection with the conference.
At the election in November he was elected to the
office for which he had been previously nominated, but
was called up higher just a few days before the time
appointed for his entering upon the duties of his office.
Dr; Pillsbury was a man of deep study and wide learn
ing, sincere in every action and word, kind hearted and
true to his friends, and charitable to his opponents. His

with true and loving friends among all classes.

268 PILLSBURY GENEALOGY.
UNASSIGNED.
Every compiler of a genealogy finds among his papers
names of individuals and families whose immediate con
nection with the main line it seems impossible to complete.
In the hope that sometime these "missing links" may be
fitted into their place in the chain, they are inserted here.
Destruction of records made impossible the exact loca
tion of the Fryeburg, Me., family, while the Boston
marriages of the last century, were probably those of the
grandchildren of Abel and Susannah of Charlestown.
Rev. Mr. Bodge, in his history of King Philip's war,
mentions a Hezekiah Pillsbury in the garrison at Chelms
ford. As William was also a soldier in the war, it is
probable the two were brothers, but Hezekiah 's name
never occurs again, and Savage makes no mention of him,
hence he was doubtless among the slain of the settlers.
Judge Sewall, in his diary under the date of 1706,
mentions the trial of a Sarah Pillsbury for the murder of
her child, and her acquittal. There is nothing to show
who the unfortunate girl was beyond being in all likeli
hood a granddaughter of William, senior.
Much uncertainty clings about Abel, son of William
and Dorothy. Supposed to have been born in Dorchester,
he married in Newbury, and the births of six children are
recorded there ; the youngest in 1693.
Yet an Abel Pillsbury was living in Amesbury in the
summer of 1680, as appears from a petition to the
General Court from that town. While from an ancient
tithingman's warrant dated Newbury of that same year,
it would show that Abel Pillsbury was living in what is
now the upper part of Ward 6, Newburyport. The family
on the whole seems to have disappeared like one of the
lost tribes of Israel.
Daniel Pillsbury, born in Wentworth, N. H. , removed
to Fryeburg, Me., where he died 11 Aug. 1828, aged
about 65. It is thought most probable that he was a son
of Richard (18), but as the town records of Wentworth
were totally destroyed by fire about a year before the
compiler wrote to obtain information from them, it is
impossible to more than guess at the fact, the grand-

WAR RECORDS.
It is not claimed that the list of Pillsburys who served
in any of the colonial wars is in any degree correct. The
Army Rolls at the State House which relate to all American
wars prior to the Revolution, are not indexed, and in order
to gain information regarding any particular name or in
dividual it is necessary to search the volumes page by page
and line by line, a piece of work taxing both eyesight and
patience. In view of the amount of time demanded and
the uncertainty of the results of the quest, the compiler
did not attempt it.
These few items which follow are taken from the pages
of the New England Historic-Genealogical Register.
The Revolutionary Records of New Hampshire Pills
burys are taken from the published Rolls found in I. W.
Hammond's New Hampshire State Papers.
The Army Rolls containing records of the war of 18 12
have been in the custody of the war department at Wash
ington for many years, hence no attempt has been made
to compile a list of the veterans of the second war for inde
pendence. The compiler is greatly indebted to Mr. James E. Stone
for valuable assistance in preparing the Roll of Honor of
the Civil War.
