Member of New Hampshire Historical, New England Historic Genealogical and American Antiquarian Societies PRINTED FOR THE TOWN BY THE UNIVERSITY PRESS, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 1906 "These were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of the times " Old Testament PREFACE. TTNDEE the direction and with the assistance of the Town ^^ History Committee, Eev. Moses T. Eunnels, an accom plished genealogist, was actively employed two years in the col lection of material for the registers of Plymouth families. In this work he was a devoted and a tireless laborer. Before the col lection of material was completed, and before any of the registers were prepared for the press, his faithful labor was suddenly arrested by his death. Many of the pages of this volume are memorials to his industry and intelligent investigation. In a research for the earlier American generations of the Ply mouth families, in extending the record of the registers and in preparing them for the press, I have written over two thousand letters, and have labored without interruption two years. The constant types of mental and moral forces which have characterized many of the families of Plymouth through suc ceeding generations, and the influence for good or ill effected by intermarriage, present an interesting study of the law of inher itance. And in the same connection a study of the manners', customs, and usages of the early settlers in the valley of the Pemigewasset, compared with those of the present generation, will present abundant evidence of the intellectual progress and the improvement in the conditions of life which have attended the succession of years. VUl PEEFACE. With unalloyed pleasure and with grateful and enduring mem- ories I freely acknowledge the efficient and constant assistance o all the members of the Town History Committee and of Louisa v.

To the New Hampshire State Library, the New Hampshire Historical Society, and the New England Historic Genealogical Society I am indebted for free access to their accumulating volumes of genealogy.

At this time the railroad had been built through the town, and the whistle and rumble of the passing trains incited an early ambition to engage in railroading. His first practical experience was in a subordinate position on the Fitchburg E.E., succeeded by a brief service with the Boston & Maine E.E., and the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne, & Chicago E.E. In this service his aptitude and ability promoted him to freight conductor.

H. In the Ancient Accepted Scottish Eite of Freemasonry he was created a Sovereign Grand Inspector-General of the thirty-third and last degree, Sept. 15, 1885. Mr. Cummings is a loyal son of Plymouth, and is interested in every enterprise that sustains the good name and promotes the pros perity of his native town. Of an even disposition, genial and cordial, he wins and enjoys the friendship and esteem of his fellowmen. To enhance the welfare and happiness of his friends is to him a continued source of pleasure. For several years, Mr. Cummings, in his journeys of pleasure, has visited many points of interest in the United States, Mexico, and Alaska, and has made several visits to Europe, Japan, China, and India.

Benjamin Dearborn, b. August 13, 1713. m. Oct. 31, 1735, Susannah Colcord. He passed the active years of his life in Chester, and there his children were born. He built a house on his lot and with his brothers he was a joint owner of the early sawmill. He sold his real estate in Chester in Nov., 1767, and with all his family, he removed 1767 or 1768 to Plymouth. His three daughters were married here. The first tax-list preserved is for the year 1770, and he and his oldest son Samuel were taxed that year. According to the law and usage of the time the next two sons were first taxed when they were twenty years of age ; Benjamin in and after 1771 and Peter, 1773. For some reason, military or otherwise, Michael, the youngest son, was first taxed 1779, or when he was twenty-four years of age. The date of the death of Benjamin Dearborn, the father, is not known. A tradition that he d. in the army is not sustained by any record ; but his granddau. Eliza, dau. of Samuel, said he was a Eevolutionary soldier. He was last taxed 1776, and his estate was administered, 1779. Seven children b. in Chester. Elizabeth, b. 1743, m. Thomas Lucas (see). Samuel, b. April 15, 1745. Abigail, b. June 26, 1747. m.

Moses Dow, son of John *, b. Feb. 17, 1746/7. Harvard Univer sity, 1769. A. M., Dartmouth, 1785. He studied law, and removed to Plymouth early in the year 1774. His preferments were frequent and substantial. He was appointed by Gov. John Wentworth, 1774, 218 DOW. register of probate, to succeed Jonathan M. Sewall. It is probable that this appointment was the occasion of his removal to Plymouth. He attended the April term of the court of sessions, and was selected by the court to act as the King's attorney, and again at the April term, 1775. At the June term of the court of common pleas, 1774, he entered five actions. In advance of many who were holding office by royal appointment he openly declared for the cause of the Ameri can patriots. With the force of a vigorous mind and the influence of a worthy character he earnestly combated a waning sentiment of loyalty to the crown. In the fourth provincial congress, which con vened at Exeter, May 17, 1775, and was dissolved, Nov. 15, 1775, Abel Webster was a delegate, representing Plymouth, Campton, Eumney, and New Chester. About the middle of the session Moses Dow was admitted a delegate, representing Plymouth and Eumney. During the remainder of the session of the fourth provincial Congress, Plymouth and Eumney enjoyed the service of two trusted delegates. In 1776 Moses Dow was an agent of Plymouth to receive arms and ammunition from the State. He removed from Plymouth to Haver hill, 1779. He was a representative from Haverhill, 1781, 1782, 1790, 1793. Councillor under temporary constitution for the official year, Dec. 17, 1783, to June 2, 1784, and senator under the permanent constitution for the years, beginning June, 1784 and 1791, and the last year he was president of the senate ; councillor, 1785 and 1786. He also was postmaster, town clerk, moderator, treasurer, and select man of Haverhill. He was continued in the office of register of pro bate until 1808, when he resigned to accept the appointment of justice of the court of common pleas for Grafton County, which office he held until his death. In the militia his promotions, running an even race with his honors in law and in politics, were fully earned by popularity and efficient service. He rose to the rank of major- general and retired from the service 18 — . Gen. Dow, as appears, lived in Plymouth only a few years, and an extended sketch is not demanded in this connection. Eeference is made to notices, which are found in Bench and Bar History of Haverhill, " Granite Monthly," VoL X. It will exercise the most facile pen of some future biog rapher to equal the admirable portraiture found in his letter declin ing an election to Congress, 1784.

Edward Johnson, from Canterbury, England, came to America in Winthrop's fleet, 1630; freeman, May 18, 1631, He re turned to England and with his family sailed again for America, 1637, He was one of the founders of Woburn and the town clerk JOHNSON, 371 until 1671. He was a selectman, captain, and deputy to the general court many years. In Woburn he was foremost, and in the affairs of the colony he was frequently employed on important commissions. In 1652, during the union of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, he and Major Simon Willard were commissioners to establish the north ern boundary of the colony. The initials E. I. at the upper left hand of Endicott Eock at the Weirs are the attest of Edward Johnson. In the world of letters, as the author of " The Wonder Working Provi dences of Sion's Savior in New England," he was an American pio neer. He d. AprU 23, 1672. His wife Sarah d. March 7, 1690. In his will his wife and seven children are named. 2. Major William Johnson, son of Capt. Edward i, b. England, 1630. Succeeded his honored father as town clerk ; selectman eigh teen years; representative eight years, and assistant or councillor, 1684-1686. He m.

His son Benjamin was the father of Josiah Johnson, who was wounded, and his son Edward was the father of Ichabod Johnson, who was slain in the fight May 8, 1725. 3. William Johnson, son of Major William 2, b. Woburn, Feb. 26, 1656, was a shipwright in Charlestown until about 1700, when he returned to Woburn. He m. Esther Gardner, b. Oct. 15, 1659, dau. of Eichard and Anna (Blanchard) Gardner. She d. Dec. 17, 1706. 4. Noah Johnson, son of WiUiam^, b. Charlestown or Woburn, Feb. 2, 1699. Settled in Dunstable, now Nashua, about 1720. He was a sergeant in the renowned company of Capt. John Lovewell, and was severely wounded in the fight at Pigwacket, and through life he suffered from a debility of the hands and arms. In answer to his petition the General Court of Massachusetts granted him twenty-one pounds and seventeen shillings, in consideration of his loss and suffer ing ; in June, 1726, he was allowed thirteen pounds and fifteen shil lings for expenses and medical attendance. In Dec, 1726, he received ten pounds, and in 1737 he was granted a pension of fifteen pounds. The colony of Massachusetts, then claiming jurisdiction over a part of New Hampshire, in 1728 granted a township, first known as Suncook and now Pembroke, to the soldiers in the Lovewell expedition and to the heirs of those deceased. Being one of the grantees Noah 372 JOHNSON, Johnson removed from Dunstable to Suncook about 1735. He was a prominent proprietor and active in forwarding the settlement. He was the clerk of the proprietors, one of the committee to arrange for the settlement of Eev. Aaron Whittemore, a member several years of the " committee to manage the affairs of the plantation." He was a deacon of the church, and while he remained in Suncook he was the most prominent man in the conduct of affairs. He returned to Dun stable, 1746. In the registry of deeds there are found many convey ances in which he appears as grantor and grantee. In a deed dated 1745 he is styled "of Suncook," and in deeds dated 1747, 1748, 1749, 1750, 1753, 1755, 1761, 1762, 1767, 1773, 1777, and 1781 he is styled " of Dunstable." So far as tax lists are found he was taxed continu ously in Dunstable until after 1781. It is probable that he removed to Plymouth soon after this date. Owning no land and in age exempt from a poll tax he was not taxed in this town. The closing years of the life of this venerable man were passed in the families of Col. Joseph Senter and his son Edward Senter. He d. August 13, 1798, aged 99 years, 6 months, 11 days. In the diary of Lieut. Samuel Thompson, edited by Mr. William E. Cutter, and published 1896, appears a clipping from a newspaper. The name of the paper is not known. " Dea. Noah Johnson, the last of the soldiers in Lovewell's fight, died at Plymouth, N. H., in August, 1798. Among his stories of that famous fight, the old man used to tell, that near the close while he was in the act of aim ing his gun at an Indian, a bullet whistling from the woods, entered the back of his left hand, and going through it, entered the palm of his right. passed up his arm to near the elbow and there lodged. His gun dropped to the ground and he was entirely disabled, but did not feel or perceive the wound in his left hand. It was a bright, hot day, and almost fainting with the beat and thirst, he stooped to drink at a rivulet. The wound in his right hand and arm, which pained him keenly, prevented his bowing to the surface of the water to drink ; he attempted to dip some up in the hollow of his left hand, when he discovered the bullet hole in it by the water trickling through it. The probability of the truth of the latter part of the story may be estimated by those acquainted with gunshot wounds. Dea. Johnson was a very respectable old man and often narrated the facts. He died at the age of 99. Within two years of his death his sight, which for some years had been almost entirely gone, was suddenly restored to such a degree that he could see to read without spectacles and even by moonlight as he proved to his neighbors and visitors by frequent experi ments. He was born at Woburn, Mass., in March, 1699." JOHNSON. 373 In the " Columbian Centinel," Boston, Oct. 24, 1798, is found : "Died. At Plymouth, N. H., Dea. Noah Johnson, Mt 104. He was engaged in the famous battle of Lovell at the place now called Fryburg ; and had three or four years been the last survivor who engaged in that memorable transaction." In this notice the age is too literally computed, and in Fox's " Dun stable " it is erroneously stated that Dea. Johnson died in Pembroke. The name of the wife of Dea. Noah Johnson was Elizabeth, as proved by Dunstable town records and by a deed of Noah Johnson to WUliam Eobertson, dated Jan. 6, 1749. I have not found a record of marriage or a record of her death. Three chUdren b. in Dunstable. i. Elizabeth, b. Oct. 3, 1728. m. Col. Joseph Senter (see). ii. Noah, b. May 27, 1730, was a lieutenant and later a captain in Rogers rangers, serving in that perilous service five years. In an engagement with the enemy near Lake Champlain in the early summer of 1760, he " was wounded through the body, a second shot through his left arm, and a third in his head." A vessel was despatched to Crown Point but he died on the passage. His es tate was probated in 1761, and in the final settlement it was stated that his sister Elizabeth and his father were the only heirs. It has been stated erroneously that Noah Johnson, the father, was an officer in the French War. iii. Edward, b. June 6, 1733, was deceased before 1761. He was a soldier in Massachusetts regiments, credited to Dunstable in the campaigns of 1755, 1756, and 1757. Fox's " Dunstable " says he was killed in the service. JOHNSON. 1.

Many who remember Mr. Langdon will testify that if he had pursued a mercantile career he would have become successful and distinguished ; but there was a resistless element in his fraternal nature that directed him to a more impulsive and a closer contact with his fellowmen. For thirty years he was a driver and proprietor of stages and mail- coaches. Beginning 1823, he drove four years from Laconia to North- wood, owning a half interest in the properties of the line. From 1827 to 1832 he drove for Eobert Morse the stages from Eumney to Con cord, making three round trips each week. The next four years he was associated with William French. They owned the stages from Haverhill to Stanstead, P. Q. In 1836 Mr. Langdon became pro prietor of the stages from Concord to Dover, and from Meredith to Dover. He drove the coaches from Concord to Dover. Selling these lines, he bought in 1838 the well-remembered line from Haverhill to Concord, which he conducted until the building of the railroad. He also owned the stages from Plymouth through Franconia Notch to Lancaster and Stanstead. In the carriage of parcels and in doing errands for the public, the drivers of the stages laid the early founda tions of the express business. When the swifter locomotives drove the stages from the road, Mr. Langdon was associated with Benjamin Pierce Cheney and Nathaniel White in an express business from Boston to Montreal, which was continued until the purchase, in 1881, by the American Express Company.

TRe emigrants to America exhibit types of ability and character peculiar to the forces which influenced their emigration. Sometimes the situation in the old country sends emigrants. At another time the demands of this country call them. The emigrants from Ireland about 1850 were not only sent on account of the failure of the crops but they were called, also, to meet the demands of an era of prosperity and enterprise. No group of emigrants has con tributed more substantially to the industries and development of New England. John Mitchell and his wife were among those who came to America in 1848. He lived in Plymouth and in Eumney about two years, and settled in Vermont, living many years in Wheelock and in Salem, now Derby. He was an enterprising man of ability and a respected citizen.

He was one of the small colony who settled at the head of tide water on St. George's Eiver in Maine, about 1753. The leader of the settlement was Dea. John Crawford, who was an able and a prudent manager. John Nelson was a trader, conducting a business incidental to a new settlement, but unknown at the present time. He purchased light wares from the incoming vessels and sold them to the stores in the towns near the coast In Sabine's " Loyalists," he is styled a pedler, but in a modern sense the word is not fairly expressive of his business. In the Eevolution he was a loyalist and his property was confiscated. He was driven from Warren and removed to Eeading, Mass. After the Eevolution, and as soon as the humanity of peace soothed the exacting and turbulent spirit of war, the citizens of Warren passed a vote of approbation and gave him leave to return to his foiiner home. The pride of John Nelson refused the invitation, and a feeling that he had been harshly and unjustly treated by his former towns men hastened his death. He d. in Eeading, Mass., about 1800. While a resident of Warren he m. Anna Crawford, a dau. of Dea- John and Sarah (Fisher) Crawford. Dea. John Crawford was an active and useful citizen of Warren, Me., and is frequently and honor ably named in the civil and military annals of the locality. The name of a mountain, a lake, and a river perpetuates his memory. Anna (Crawford) Nelson, widow of -lohn Nelson, d. in Eeading, Mass., March 4, 1815. 2. Eev. William Nelson, son of John i, b. Eeading, Mass., March 29, 1791. He lived a few years in Saugus and in Eeading, Mass. In 1817 he removed to Eoxbury, in Cheshire Co., where he res. ten years and where five of his children were born. At this time he was a farmer and occupied a large farm formerly known as the Grossman farm. Here as elsewhere his ability and usefulness were promptly recognized. He gave a loyal support to the schools and NELSON. 485 he was a selectman of Eoxbury, 1823-1825. In 1825 he was licensed to preach by the Methodist Conference, and was elected secretary of several quarterly meetings on the Winchester circuit, which included Winchester, Eoxbury, Eindge, and other towns in the southwest part of New Hampshire. The license was renewed in 1826, and in 1827, at the age of 36 years, he was admitted on trial to the New England Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Two years later, at the division of the Conference, he was admitted to the New Hampshire and Vermont Conference. According to the usage largely prevailing, his appointments were to circuits including churches and preaching stations in several adjoining towns, and two or more were generally sent to each circuit. His first appointment was to the Ashburnham, Mass., circuit in 1827, where he remained, living in Ashburnham two years. His associate on the circuit was Eev. H. G. WooUey. In 1829 he was appointed, again with Mr. WooUey, to the Winchester circuit. In 1830 he was admitted to full connection, was ordained a deacon, and was appointed to Sandwich. His co- laborer was John Worcester. His next appointment, 1831, was to Plymouth, and the junior preacher was Matthew Newhall. In 1832 he was ordained an elder and appointed to Newbury, Vt, in the Danville district In 1833 and 1834 he was appointed to the Corinth circuit. In 1835 and 1836 he was superannuated. He purchased a farm in this town near the line of Hebron, and removed to Plymouth in April, 1835. Here he subsequently res. In 1837 he was ap pointed to Plymouth with Holman Drew and Lorenzo D. Blodgett, and again the following year with E. B. Fletcher and S. G. Scott. In 1839 he was appointed to West Plymouth with H. G. WooUey, his early associate in the ministry, and the following year again at West Plymouth. His last appointment was to Bristol, in 1841. The junior pastor this year was Eev. Henry H. Hartwell, now living iu Suncook. In the following years he preached when duty called, and from time to time supplied several vacant pulpits. In school and town affairs the services of Eev. William Nelson were frequently sought, and cheerfully rendered with unfailing ability. He was a selectman of Plymouth, 1838, 1839, 1849, and 1850 ; a repre sentative, 1836 and 1837; and a delegate to the constitutional con vention, 1850. He d. Jan. 2, 1859. Such, briefly stated, are the outlines that define and the milestones 486 NELSON. that measure the life of Eev. William Nelson. He has been dead nearly fifty years, yet the appreciative tributes to his memory, the testimony of those who knew him, and the sweet influence of a devoted life are not lessened or obscured by the lapse of time. He was of commanding presence, direct and forceful, yet not unaccom plished in manner, and of a dignified and stately bearing. In his daily intercourse with his fellowmen he was candid and serious, yet always sympathetic and affectionate. He ever enjoyed the confidence and the friendship of his fellowmen. While stationed in Vermont he was associated with the founders of the Newbury Seminary, and during life he was foremost in the reforms and the educational enter prises of the church. After the years of his active nnnistry his advice in civil and in ecclesiastical affairs was often sought and was always wise. The many elections to office, here recorded, are evidence of such qualities of mind and character, and for many years he was called Father Nelson. As a preacher he was impressive and instructive. His sermons were thoughtful and lucid, and he was regarded as one of tlie ablest preachers connected with the conference. Eev. Henry H. HartweU, who was appointed with Mr. Nelson at Bristol, 1841, and tlie only surviving colaborer in the ministry, in a recent testimonial says, " Brother Nelson was a good preacher and a man of God."

In 1816 he removed to Campton, returning to Plymouth, 1827. He purchased and occupied the Weld estate. His store also was on South Main Street The hard times and slow collections which succeeded the memorable panic of 1837 caused his failure in business. Surrendering all he possessed to his creditors, he opened a tea store in New Bedford, Mass., and subsequently conducted a similar store in New York. During these years he maintained a legal residence in Plymouth. With gathering years he longed for his old home, and retiring from active business he settled upon the George Ward farm in Plymouth. During the active years of his life, his beautiful home on South Main Street contained a well-selected library, and during life he was a discriminating reader of science and the best literature. He was a man of generous impulses. He gave freely to the poor and in support of every commendable charity. It is a familiar saying that the name of John Eogers could be found on every subscription paper of his time. He was a firm and consistent sup porter of the Congregational Church and a liberal contributor to the funds of the parish.

He was of the firm, Callender, Eogers & Hilton, of Scudder, Eogers & Co., and later, senior partner of Eogers, Snelling & Co., and during the last twenty years of his life, under the firm name pf John P. Eogers & Co., and associated with the large English house of Eose, Inness & Co., of London. He conducted an extensive export business to South America. He was a disciplined man, of superior ability, an elegant penman, and an exponent of the highest ideal of business honor and integrity. In his home and among his friends his af fections and sympathies were spontaneous, yet steadfast and enduring. He was an appreciative student of the English classics and of poetry, and his retentive memory was stored with choice selections of his favorite authors.

He was president of the White Mountain Travellers' Association, 1894, and is a director of Commercial Travel lers' Eastern Accident Association and of Commercial Travellers' Benefit Association, Boston, Mass. Mr. Eogers is a genial gentleman and an entertaining and accomplished companion. He reads the face of nature with the delight of an artist, and with tender sympathy he assimilates the joys of life and the lessons of human experience. The language of such thought and emotion is poetry, and his discourse in verse is his most fitting biography. He m. Sept 25, 1884, Helen Greeley Byron, b.

He was a merchant of Plymouth, and to this business he devoted the energies and the years of an active, useful life. In youth he was a clerk in the store of his father, and later of his oldest brother, being admitted a partner in 1826. His brother retired from business and removed to Alabama in 1833. The ensuing two years he was sole proprietor, and subsequently he conducted business in the brick and the depot stores, with several partners, until 1869. As a merchant he was enterprising, methodical, and successful. With unusual sagacity he met and often anticipated the many changes in the conditions in business which attended his career. The eight-horse teams hauling goods from Portsmouth and Boston were displaced by the railroad, and barter trade and long credits were happily succeeded by cash payments. He was a trustee of Holmes Plymouth Academy. He was generous in spirit, affable in manner, and a liberal patron of every worthy cause. A kind and indulgent father, a good citizen of Plymouth, and a friend of the needy, he was loved for his kindness to his fellow-men, and re spected for his integrity and unblemished character. He m.

With superior mental endowments, with a thorough knowledge of law, and with a manner affable and winning, he en tered upon the labors of his profession with an unusual assurance of success. He was brought into competition with men of high 15. i. 16. ii. iii. iv. 698 RUSSELL. legal attainments, and on all occasions he acquitted himself with credit and honor. His health failed, and he returned an invalid to the home of his childhood. He d. August 11, 1867.

They were Protestants, from near the Ehine in Germany. They did not emigrate to New England at one time, but immediately after 1750 several families were living in and near Boston, Mass. Their imperfect knowledge of the English language and other reasons, at once apparent, encouraged them to settle in one community. The town of Lexington, Mass., possessed one thousand acres of land in the town of Ashburnham, Mass. By a deed, bearing date of December, 1757, they purchased the Lexington Grant and divided it into farms among themselves. This section of the town is knowi* to the present time as " The Dutch Farms." The original grantees were Henry Hall, Christian WUliam Whiteman, Jacob Schoffe, Simon Eodamel, Peter Perry, John Eich, and John Kiblinger. Immediately they were joined by other emigrants from the same locality in Germany, who settled near them in the same township. The added names are Jacob and Henry Sellingham, Andrew Windrow, Henry Stack, Jacob Constantine, Jacob Barkardst, John Oberlock, PhUip A^'orback, and Jacob Wilker. They were educated, inteUigent people, thrifty in business, zealous in the support of schools, and good substantial citizens. They had fied from tyranny in their native land, and were prompt in a rational resistance of oppression in any form. In all the elements of patriotism they were trained and ripened for the Eevolution, and during the war they contributed their full proportion in service, sacrifice, and treasure. From the first, they were received in good fellowship, and they bore their share of the burdens of munici pal affairs. From this thrifty community John Eich, in 1775, removed to HaverhUl and ten years later to Maidstone, Vt He was a select man of Ashburnham, Mass., a trusted agent of the State government, and a soldier at Haverhill during the Eevolution, and subsequently many years a representative in the Legislature of Vermont He m. 1753, Catherine Sophia Whiteman, whom he had known in the father land. His sons, John, Henry, Jacob, and Moody, were prominent men in town and county afl'airs. Eich Stevens, a sheriff of Essex Co., was a son of his daughter Elizabeth. He d. Sept 30, 1813, aged 84; his widow, Catherine, d. April 14, 1818, aged 82. Jacob Schoffe removed from Ashburnham, Mass., to Haverhill about 1774, and soon after to Essex Co., Vt. His son Jacob, b. 1757, VOL. II. — 40 626 SELLINGHAM. was a soldier in the Eevolution, frontier service, and d. in Maidstone, Vt, aged over 80 years. His other sons were John, Daniel, and Henry, and their descendants have lived in Grafton and Coos Cos. The family of Eodamel generally assumed the name of Eodiman and Dimond. Jacob Dimond, son of the emigrant, b. June 3, 1760. After the Eevolution, in which he was a soldier, he settled in Claremont, where he d., March 16, 1826. Christian William Whiteman removed with a part of his children in 1796 to Warren, where William Whiteman had previously located. Henry Sellingham, son of Jacob, the emigrant, b. about 1735, with his sons, Henry, Jr., and Jacob, settled in Thornton about 1775. The foregoing statement of the origin of several worthy families of Grafton and Coos Cos. was made by the writer for the " History of Littleton." Two of these families are found in Plymouth. 1. Henry Sellingham, son of Henry and grandson of the emigrant Jacob, m. Amy Brainard and lived in Stewartstown. He was a sol dier in the Eevolution, serving in Col. Scammell's Continental Eegi ment.

William Simpson, from Portsmouth, settled in Orford as early as 1770, and was a selectman of that town, 1771. At the organization of Grafton Co., 1773, he was appointed sheriff. It appears that John Fenton and Jonathan M. Sewall came to Grafton Co., as officials and that an appointment to office was the primary cause of their removal to the new county. Mr. Simpson was in the territory before the county was created by the provincial legislature and three SIMPSON — SLYE — SMITH. 633 years before it was organized by Gov. John Wentworth. He removed from Orford to Plymouth, 1773, and returned to Orford, 1775, or early in the year 1776. He paid poll and land tax in Plymouth, 1774 and 1775. In 1776 Amos Fisk was taxed for the farm of WiUiam Simpson. It is sufficient to state that he removed from Plymouth to his estate in Orford at the time he was succeeded in office by Jotham Cummings. Mr. Simpson paid taxes in Plymouth as " Improver of the farm of John Fenton" for the years 1776 to 1779, but he was not assessed in Plymouth as a resident except for the two years stated. He was a selectman of Orford, 1778, and succeeding years, and was a prominent man of the county. His brief residence in this town was an incident in his official relations. SLYE. 1. Edward E.

Grad, from Harvard Law SchooL 1858, and admitted to the bar of Worcester Co, in the autumn of 1858, He passed the ensuing two years in study at the Universities of Berlin, Munich, and Paris, Upon his return he entered, 1860, the office of Seaman, McCagg & Fuller, of Chicago, 111, He enlisted, a private, April 21, 1861, in the 1st lUinois Light Artillery, promoted sergeant and commended for efficiency and skill in drilling his men. The term of enlistment was short, and upon his discharge he was a guest for a few weeks of his uncle William Lev erett in Plymouth. At this time New Hampshire M'as raising four companies of cavalry which subsequently were consolidated with eight companies raised in Ehode Island and known as the 1st Ehode Island Cavalry and also as the 1st New England Cavalry, Asserting a life long fondness for the horse, he entered this arm of the service, and was commissioned by Gov, Berry a first lieutenant, Oct 9, 1861. His pro motions were richly earned and won by gallant conduct and valiant service. He was commissioned a captain, Dec, 9, 1861, major, July 3, 1862, and lieutenant colonel, July 11, 1862. In the spring of 1864, New Hampshire recalled the battalion from the regiment and began the organization of eight new companies of New Hampshire men, under the name of the 1st New Hampshire Cavalry. Lt CoL Thomp son was commissioned by Gov. Gilmore, colonel of this regiment, March 17, 1864. It is history, if not a matter of record, that he ac cepted this commission on the expressed condition that Gov. Gilmore would not select the officers of the eight new companies without his approvaL This agreement was honored by the governor.

Declining a commission in the regular army, Gen, Thompson re turned to Chicago, and in the spring of 1866 formed a partnership with Norman Williams, a native of Woodstock, Vt., and a classmate at Meriden. Gen. Thompson was a learned lawyer and an able advo cate. In court his energy and vigilance made him a formidable adversary, and in the heated confiicts of his profession the coolness and self-command of the lawyer were as conspicuous as the constant energy and heroism of the soldier. He was an alderman of Chicago, 1876 to 1878, and a leading mem ber and two years the president of the Citizens' Association, Many years he was a member of the Union League of Chicago, and was elected president of this patriotic organization one week before his death ; and the same month he was elected president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association, of Chicago, He d, Jan. 31, 1888.

He came to America 1718, and it is believed that he was included in the twenty families who spent the following winter in a ship at Falmouth, Mc In the spring of 1719 he settled in Wiscasset, Me., and a very few years later he removed to Worcester, Mass. The story of the fortunes of the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians in Worcester from about 1720 to 1740 is an interesting chapter of the early history of that town. They were driven from Worcester. They did not leave in a body, but colonies and families, about 1740, removed to towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire where they were assured of a more friendly reception, James Thornton organized a 676 THORNTON, colony of thirty-four families, and in their behalf he and Eobert Peebles purchased of Col, John Stoddard, of Northampton, Jan, 21, 1739, a tract of land for a township from the territory known as " Equivalent Lands," Of this purchase James Thornton owned fourteen-sixtieths and Eobert Peebles, five-sixtieths. The settlement was called the "Lisburne Propriety," or "New Lisburne," and was established as the town of Pelham, Mass,, Jan, 15, 1743. While he remained in Pelham, James Thornton was the foremost and most conspicuous man in the affairs of the settlement In 1743 the people of Pelham extended a call to Eev, Eobert Abercrombie, and he was ordained the following year. Against these proceedings, James Thornton entered a formal protest in writing, and it is possible that his removal from Pelham may have been a sequence of these pro ceedings. He removed, 1748, to Londonderry, where his son Matthew had been living several years. He d. in Londonderry, Nov, 7, 1754, in his seventieth year. The traditions of the family, that the wife of James Thornton and the mother of his children was Elizabeth Jenkins, are ancient and well established. In the sale of land in Worcester, Feb, 14, 1740, a wife Ketiran joins in the conveyance, which suggests a second wife, Eeference is made to histories of Worcester, Mass,, Pelham, Mass., and to a scholarly sketch of " Matthew Thornton, A Patriot of the American Eevolution," by Charles Thornton Adams, Esq., of New York, 1903, 62 pp. Of the family of James Thornton, a record is found of eight children. The order of age is not known, i. James. Lived in Wiscasset, Me., and probably in Bath, In 1783 he was deceased, and his widow Susannah administered on the estate. He had sons John, William, Joshua, and James, the last three being minors above 14 years of age. ii, Andrew, Was one of the grantees of Thornton, 2. iii, William, iv. Matthew, bi 1714.

He removed 1744 to lands now in Palmer, Mass., and in 1748 or 1749 he became the first settler of Dublin, The town with other settle ments in the vicinity was abandoned from fear of Indian incursions, and he removed to Schenectady, N. Y, He returned to New Hamp shire in 1773, and was in Londonderry about one year, when he settled in Thornton. He had sons William and Matthew, and other chUdren apparently born 1735 to 1750, and Eleanor, Abraham, Catherine, and Sarah, born probably after 1773. It is certain that he was twice married, but a record is not available. He d. 1791, and his widow Eleanor m.

Joshua Thornton, son of Joshua, was b. in Mendon, Mass., Nov. 1, 1763, In his boyhood he lived in Uxbridge, Mass, There is not a record of this family in that town, and I have failed to secure information of his parents. The descendants of Eev. Thomas Thornton of Yarmouth, who d. in Boston, Feb, 15, 1700, aged 93, were quite numerous in Massachusetts, and among them Joshua is a familiar name. When a boy of less than twelve years, Joshua Thornton en listed in April or May, 1775, for the term of eight months. He was a fifer and served in Capt, Wyman's company.

Public sentiment did not approve of the pro ceeding, and while Mr. Thompson was speaking, the meeting house was assailed by a mob, and windows were broken by flying missiles. Mr. Thompson escaped from threatened personal danger, guarded on one side by the wife of the young pastor and on the other by his aged father. Mr. Ward had been in Abington one year. The people had not learned the measure of his courage. He made the study of his character an easy problem. The next Sabbath he preached a sermon WARD, 699 on mobs ; and from that hour they understood him, honored him, loved him.

WILLOUGHBY, 1, John Willoughby was a resident of Billerica, Mass,, from 1735 to 1745, It is suggested by Eev, Henry A, Hazen that probably he was a son of John Willoughby, b, Dec. 11, 1688, who was a son of Nehemiah, b, June 18, 1644, a son of Deputy-Gov, Francis, This is possible but it remains to be proven. John Willoughby m, in Billerica, March 27, 1735, Anna Chamberlain, b, April 3, 1712, dau, of John and Margaret (Gould) Cliamberlain, of Billerica. In 1745 he removed to Hollis, and two years later he established his home on the west side of Pine HiU. He m, second, June 28, 1774, Elizabeth Sprague, b. Billerica, June 20, 1727, dau. of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Burge) Sprague. This name was often written Sprake, and is thus written in the Hollis record of the marriage. He d. in Hollis, Feb. 2, 1793.

Thomas Nevins (see), 2. John Willoughby, son of John ^, b. Billerica, Mass., Dec 24, 1735, was ten years of age when the family removed to Hollis. He served three enlistments in the French and Indian War, in Capt Peter Powers's company, Col. Joseph Blanchard's regiment, from April 24 to Nov. 25, 1755 ; in Capt Amos Gage's company, Maj.

He m, in Hollis, May 28, 1758, Azubah Wheeler, The date of the marriage falls within the term of service in Col, Hart's regiment. It is of easy explanation, since Col. Hart's regiment, on account of a deficiency of money in the provincial treasury, was de tained within New Hampshire until June, 1758. He was one of the grantees of Plymouth and one of the exploring party who came here, 1762, In 1764, with the first families to arrive, he came to Plymouth, removing his family the following year. During the Eevolution he was captain of the Plymouth company of Col. Hobart's regiment, and twice in 1777 he led his company into service. (See Vol. I.) In town affairs he was a good citizen, and to the church he was faithful and loyal, and a deacon sixty-eight years. His wife, Azubah, d. Oct., 1815. He d. June 22, 1834. Three children b.
