EXPLANATIONS.
In airaoging this work, it has been my object to give all the autheo-
tic histoiy and genealt^ connected with John White and his descend-
ants, io the plainest manner. We are too large a family to allow o(
imaginary history, therefore I have confined myself to plain facts. The
work is carried forward in the usual form to the birth of the fifth gen-
eration, then each one, whose descendants could be found, were brought
forward in a separate branch to the latest generation. The branches
to number 557 will be found in this volunse, and the remaining branches
carried forward in the second.
I have made use of no unusual abbreviations, using those of months
and states, also b., bom ; bapt, baptized ; m., married ; d., died ; p.,
page ; vol., volume ; dan., daughter.
1 have made no distinction in the male ^nd female lines, except
omitting the name of White when derived from our emigrant ancestor.
Each member is numbered at birth, and when the name is followed by
+ it will be found again in its proper place with the birth number in
a bracket at the right of the name. If no + follows, all I could leant
is recorded at the birth. The small superior figure at the end of each
name denotes the generation.
Though I began this work alone, and have never thrown the burden
upon any one else, yet I am deeply in debt to many for untiring eHort
in helping to complete the records, especially to Mrs. Clara A. Carter,
Miss Eliza M. Pratt, Mr. William O. Taylor and Mr. J. B. White, be-
sides many others, whom 1 would here thank for their kind assistance.
The forming of the association in 1896 has helped to bring me in
touch with many new members of the family, for which 1 feel that
thanks are due our President, Captain Charles H. White, who first si^-
gested the idea, as well as for other assistance and encouragement.

GENEALOGY.
Descendants of John White.
1638.
1. JOHN A\'hite was of Salem in the Province of Massachusetts
Bay, 1638. We have been unable to leain just when he came, the
name of the ship he came on ; or the maiden name of Joane, his wife.
Oct. 28, 1784, Col. Jonathan White^ (150), of Leominster, told his
son, Dea. James White'' (554), of Heath, Mass. ; (and he made a note
(rf it, with the date in his account book) :
That bis great grandfather came from the west part of England ;
that he had two sons, Thomas'^, who settled in Wenham, and Josiah*,
who settled on his father's estate in l^ncaster, and his son, Josiah, Jr.,
lived on the same estate, and his son Jonathan in Leominster, and his
sons, James and Asaph, then lived in Charlemont. It is signed James
While, and he adds "This account I had from ray father, this day."
It was copied from Dea. James White's account book by F. W,
White' (8085) in 1848.
■Aug., 1639, John White was received an inhabitant of Salem, and
granted 60 acres land, near Mr. Smith's farm.
Feb. 15, 1642, be was granted 6 acres meadow at Enon (Wenham)
"which John Woodbury did apoynt him to mowe, which he hath
mowed, these 2 or 3 years past."
.Also 40 acres more of upland, and 4 of meadow to be laid out near
the former.
"Jan. 30, 1643, He with Richard Prince, Sarah wife of Daniel
Tmmball, in the right of George Norton, are granted 4 acres meadow
each, at Wenham, then in the possession of William Paine." (Salem
book of Grants.)
The Arst saw and grist mill, in Wenham, was built by Robert Haws,
upon the brook running through John White's grant of land. The
farm is now owned and occupied by Mr. David Pingree, and his sister;

and is known as "White's Mills," although the mill has long since gone
to decay.
In 1653, the Planters made the following :

His wife.Joane, was admitted to the first church in Salem, Feb. 26,
1642-3, where three of their children were baptized. His name does
not appear upon the church roll. The children are baptized in the
mother's name.
On the forming of the church in Wenham, Joane White was dis-
missed 1^ letter from the Salem church, as shown by the following,
copied upon the Town Book at Wenham.
"At a church meeting April 10, 1645.
The letters dismissive of Joane White from the church of Salem were'

of the first Church in Wenham, Mass. (Organized Oct. 8th, 1644.
O.S.)
It does not appear that John White ever lived in Salem proper. As
all his grants of land were located in Wenham, it is conclusive that he
lived there, as that town was in the jurisdiction of Salem until 1648 —

12 DESCENDANl^ OF
the same as Beverly, until 1674 — going under the general name of
Salem.
JOHN White' is first mentioned in Lancaster, May 1, 1653, when
he, with others, subscribed to " Rules for Proportion of Meadow." He
had twenty acres of land allotted to him on the Neck, between the lots
of James Atherton on the south and John Lewis on the north, and as
the "Annals of Lancaster" state, his house stood on the east end of
said lo^ at or near where the house of Edward Houghton now stands,
and direct descendants have resided there until the death of Dea.
Samuel F. White,6 son of Dea. Joseph White^ (604), Mar. IS, 1843.
The house was burned first by the Indians in 1676, and again by
accident in 1816 ; and rebuilt by Dea. Samuel F. White.**
Also, Nov. 20, 1653, John White' signed petition for the building of
a "come Mill" in Lancaster. In 1654 he drew land proportioned to
;^380;06;02. In 1655, 20 lots. June 26, 1658, he was granted
seven acres "neare the still river," Feb. 5, 1659, granted lot No. 33.
(Early records of Lancaster.)
Joane, his wife, died in Lancaster, May 18, 1654.

He was bom in England, I63I; was the only graduate at Harvard
College in 1652; began preaching at Lancaster, 1654; and was or-
dained in 1660, being their first settled minister. They were living in
a garrison at Lancaster, which stood sixty rods northeast of the present
residence of Hon. Nathaniel Thayer, and the site is marked by a large
pine, when the Indians attacked the town and captured Mrs. R. and
her children. (A full account will be found in her book, which is re-
printed in an appendix to this volume.)
Mr. Rowlandson, after the ransom of his wife, lived for a short time,
in Boston, then was settled in Wethersfield, Conn., where he d. Nov. 23,
1678, leaving widow Maiy and two children. There is now in the
Memorial Library at l^ncaster, Mass., a sideboard, or cupboard, as it
is called in the inventory of Rev. Mr. Rowlandson's estate at Hartford,
Conn. Itwasbrought by John White from England, 1638, and probably
left in Wenham, with his daughter Joanna, or son Thomas, when he
moved through the wood to I^ncaster, in 1652-3. When Mary, their
sister, after her captivity, "set up housekeeping with bare walls," in
Boston, there is no doubt that they gave her this piece of furniture.
It is said to have been in the Rowlandson family for one hundred and
fifty years; and in 1876, was in the possession of Mr. J. W. Dunlap, of

pear to have lived in Ipswich, from 1696 to 1718. In .Apr. 1714,
Joseph Dodge "Innholder," and his wife Martha, of Wenham, sold to
William Maxey of Ipswich fifty-four acres in Ipswich with dwelling

pari ia the early Indian wars and was in a severe action at Lancaster.
He kept a public house in Marlboro, in 1696 ; and as his bond shows
the spirit of the times, we will give the material portions of it, hoping
it may afford some profitable hints to those who keep public houses at
the present day.
"He shall not suffer or have any playing at cards, dice, lally, bowls,
ninepins, billiards, or any other unlawful game or games in his said
house, or yard or garden or backside, nor shall suffer to remain in his
house any person or persons not being his own family on Saturday
night after dark or Sabbath days, or durii^ the time of God's Public
Worship ; nor shall he entertain as lodgers in his house any strangers,
men or women above the space of forty-eight hours but such whose
names and surnames, he shall deliver to some one of the selectmen or
constable of the town, unless they shall be such as he very well knoweth
and will ensure for his or their forth coming — nor shall sell any wine
to the Indians, or negroes, nor suffer any children, or senant, or other
person to remain in his house tippling or drinking after nine o'clock in
the night — nor shall buy or lake to preserve any stolen goods nor
knowingly or willingly harbor in his house, barn, stable, or otherwise,
any rogues, vagabonds, thieves, sturdy beggars or offenders whatsoever
— nor shall any person or persons whatsoever — sell or utter any wine,

in the Defence thereof against those barbarous Salvages, not only
hazarding his life but Expending good part of his substance therein,
as is well known to many. Some few Instances whereof your Pet',
would humbly ripresent to this Hon"' Court. Vo'. Pet'', sd. hus-
band altho he had divers limes had the honour to bear command yet
voluntarily Enlisted himself under the late Capt. lx)vewell, and choose
rather to go as an Under Officer at that time because he would do
what in him lay to Encourage others to Enlist and marched with him
at the time when they killed the Ten Indians, in which march they
were out near Forty days. 'I'hen he performeii a march to a place
called Cohosse on Connecticut River thinking to meet with the Enemy
there and came in at Fort Oummer, being out thirty (our days, tho
they missed of their desired Success; 'I'hen in about Eight days time
he had a Company raised and went to Figwacket to bury Capt. I.ove-
well which he performed ina ^■ery difficult season of the year. Then
he went to Connecticut at his own cost and charge to get a Company
of Mohege Indians in order to go down to St. Francois to take an
Indian fort there, but failing of his aim, he returned home and then
enlisted a Company of Voluntiers and marched designing for a Fort
beyond Pigwackei, but was taken sick before he got there, returned
home and dyed leaving your Pet', his bereaved widow with seven
Children the Eldest about Fifteen years old and Four of them very
young, & one she then went with who is now living ; In all which Ser-
vices your Petit", said husband cheerfully underwent many hardships
and difficulties for the good of his country, and was at considerable
Cost and Charge, by Supplying those that Enlisted under hira with
necessaries which could not be readily obtainetl elsewhere, purely to
make dispatch.
Now Forasmuch as the Sickness of which your I'et ". husbanti dyed
was in all probability Occasioned by means of y' difficulties he under-
went in the Publick Service, & that he never in his Ufe time had an
Opportunity of asking your Hon'*. Favour for his past Services but
was taken away in the Strength and vigour of his lite, without receiv-
ing anything from the Publick more than 2' 6'' p day for the three
marches he performed asafores'' and in regard your Pet', is left a dis-
consolate widow with several Fatherless Children to bring up who
stand in daily need of relief and Support, your Pet', finding it ver)'
difTicult to provide for them. She therefore most humbly Implores
your Hon", pity and Compassion to herself & Children, and that as
you have been pleased in like cases to reward those that have served

cumstances, and thai you will be pleased to Grant her Two hundred
and Fifty acres of the unappropriated lands of the Province that she
may dispose of the same for the Education and bringing up her afore-

She was taken captive by the Indians from the Rowlandson Garrison

full account of her redemption and it was thought that she died in
captivity, but in the Middlesex Co. Records, Vol. 14, p. 620-21-22, I
liod under date of July 2, 1717, William DivoU and James Keyes, both
of Lancaster, and Samuel Lummus, Jr., of Ipswich, divide land and
Town Right in Lancaster, formerly belonging to John White, late of
J^ncaster, as a full settlement of their late mother's estate. In the
Keyes Genealogy, I find the birth of the children of James Keyes and
wife Hannah, also, in the records of Bolton where he, James, was the
first Town Clerk in 1738. They were m. in Marlboro, Mass., ,
1693.
James was son of Elias and Sarah (Blanchard) Keyes of Marlboro.

Wenham where they made their home till 1757, when he appears to
have removed to Brookfield, in Worcester County, for we find John
Dodge, gentleman of Brookfield, bought April 27, 1759, of Thomas
Gilbert, gent. xr. of est. of Ebcnczcr How, for ^^33 ; 06 ; 08 four pieces
of land containing about fifty acres more or less, with buildings, in
Brookfield. On the same date Thomas Dodge, cooper of Brookfield,
bought of the same grantor for one hundred and six pounds, thirteen
shillings and four pence, "silver money," (the lawful paper money
of that day was in bad credit,) fifty acres more or less with build-
ings. On the same dale each of the above grantees gives a mortgage
to their cousin Francis Dodge to secure him as bondsman for one hun-
dred pounds each. In September 1763, Capt. John Dodge, gent, of
Brookfield for fifty pounds si\ shillings mortgaged to John Friend, gent.
of Wenham forty acres and a house. In 1757 he and his wife Ruth,
sold forty acres more or less lying in Wenham with buildings thereon
to George Dodge of Ipswich. In March 1767, John Dodge, gent
renews the mortgage of the same land for the larger amount of one
hundred seventeen pounds fourteen shillings and his wife Ruth signs
the mortgage. He seems to have been a bricklayer for some years,
but later a farmer. Capt. Dodge died November 23, 1778, while on
a visit to Topsfield. He was a great grandson of William Dodge,

Thomas, son of Jadge Joseph and Lucy (Gardner) Wilder, b. in I^n-
caster, Mass., 1704. They settled in the Northeasterly part o( the
N'ew Grant soon incorporated as Leominster on the shore of Chauloom
pond, DOW \Mialom Lake. I am unable to obtain the dates of their
deaths. They are said to have been buried with several of their
daughters in a small burial place where some of the early settlers were
ioterred, now obliterated, situated neai the present schoolhouse in Dis-
trict No. 3, in the northeasterly part of Leominster.
The following is an extract from a letter written April 7, 1859, by
Hon. David Wilder of North I.eominster to Hon. Joseph White of
U'illiamstown, Mass.
"Through your kindness I have received a copy of The Historical
Disconrse delivered by you at Charlemont, June 11, 1855, and for
numerous reasons, I beg you to accept of my sincere thanks for it.
Martha, one of the sisters of Col. Jonathan White, was the third wife
of my grandfather David Wilder of Lancaster. She was many years a
widow, and in the habit of making an annual visit to my father's family
in the days of my youth. She used to speak of Peregrine White, as
her Ancestor ; and it was from her I derived what I considered good
traditionary testimony in the case. But it must be confessed that the
written record in your possession (from Dea. James White's account
book) looks more like the facts: and I have made an entry to that
effect in a copy of the His. of L, which I keep by me for such pur-
poses. Mary, the eldest sister, married Thomas Wilder of the fourth
generation from the Thomas who moved to Lancaster in 1659, He
was one of the early settlers here and the grandfather of the Abel
Wilder who represented the town of Charlemont in the General Court
in 1809. P. S. Should you meet any of my relatives. Butlers,
Carters or others, you may tell them that in twenty-nine days more, my
years will be four-score ; and yet I read and wrile, by day and night,
without the use of spectacles."
I foimd later on the probate recordsat Worcester, Mass., No, 65750,
Feb. 6, 1771, Mary Wilder petitions that her sons Thomas and Joseph
be appointed administrators of the estate of her late husband Thomas
Wilder of I,eominster.

JONATHAN' (150), b. in Tjincaster, Oct. 4, 1708: m. June 22,
1732, F.sther, dau. of James and Abigail ((;ardner) Wilder, bapL in
first church in lancaster. Mar. 8, 1713. He settled in the Northern
part of the New (irant, now Leominster, and was one of the largest
land liolders, a man of wealth and education, a gentleman of the old
school. In the French and Indian war he commanded a military com-
pany and was actively engaged in defending the town from the attacks
of the savages. March 29, 1755, he was commissioned captain in the
Worcester regiment of ('ol. Ruggles, which marched for Crown Point.
On the march northward Capt. White was promoted and made major,
and before the end of the campaign was made lieutenant- colonel.
Col. White, with regiment, was present at the battle of Lake George,
September 8, 1755, when Baron de Dieskan was defeated and taken
prisoner. Col. White was ordered with his regiment to Take Champlain.
He served lo the end of the war, was in many battles and won a high
reputation as a gallant and capable officer. He was one of the earlier
proprietors of Charlemont, was at a meeting January 17, 1753, and was
chosen one of the officers. He cleared up a few acres, planted an
orchard and built a house in the south part of what is now Heath, and
which is believed to be the house where his son, Dea. James, lived and
died. March 4, 1771, the town of Charlemont voted to accept of the
land Col. Jonathan White gave for a burying- place. After he returned
from the war he lived most of the time in Leominster, but often pa.ssed
from one town to the other. On one of these journeys he was detained
over Sunday at Deerfield. He went to meeting in the morning, in his
homespun frock, and, as he passed up the aisle no pew-door was opened
to welcome him ; so he went to the wood-pile and got a block of wood ;
this he laid on the floor near the pulpit, seated himself on it and
listened attentively to the long sermon. At the noon recess the people
made his acquaintance, and, finding that his station in life was not so
humble as they had at first supposed, treated him with great respect.

intending to cross the Green Mountains to Massachusetts. They got
lost, wandered several days among the mountains, but finally found

inhabitants, after having been out nine days without provisions, except
a small dog, which they killed the fifth day, and having the snow,

CHARLES D. Bigelow« (1306), b. in Marlboro, Mass., Feb. 17,
1823 ; m. May 24, 1848, Eunice Ann, eldest daughter of Emerson and
Lydia (Bigelow) Howe, b. in Marlboro, Feb. 16, 1831. Like many
of our New England people, his education was gained in the district
schools of his native town, and one term at the formerly well known
private school of John E. Frye, of Bolton, Mass. In the spring of 1841
he learned the trade of making sewed shoes of Thomas Holder of Ber-
lin, and after working about a year at that place he returned home, and
later began work of bottoming sewed shoes, taking out work (as was
the practice) from some of the manufacturers in the neighboring towns.
He employed at one time eleven men in a small shop. In 1S44 he
increased his business and had four gangs of men at work in as many
small shops, located in the same school district. At this time he began
to do pegged work and took his work from the shop of J. B. Kimball
& Co., of Westboro, some eight miles distant ; this he continued until
1845. The winter of 1845-6 he attended a school in Boston. The
following spring he again worked at shoemaking, had a shop built about
a mile from the center, and getting stock from shops in Millbury and
Natick, he employed a large force. In 1847, with that business enter-
prise and energy which always attended him throughout his life, he
built a new shop. About this time he began to manufacture shoes for
himself, and was the first to employ Canadian Frenchmen in the shoe
shops in that vicinity, and with never tiring energy he was constantly
striving to improve and increase his business facilities. In 1852 he
met with his first serious misfortune, having his shop with all its con-
tents destroyed by fire.
Nothing daunted he removed to New York city and again started
in the manufacture of shoes, and soon increased his business to
immense proportions, and during the years of the war was running
large shops in the prisons of Sing Sing, N. V., Trenton, N. J., and
Providence, R. I., the penitentiaries at Albany and Brooklyn, N. Y.,
also a large shop at Worcester, Mass. He organized the Bay State
Shoe & Leather Co., of New York city, of which he was President for
many years,

He was a man of great executive business ability ; as a manufacturer
he bad no superiors and but few equals. A few years before his death
he retired from active business life and turned his business over to his
son, Charles E. He spent much of his time in travel and recreation,
and while temporarily sojouring in Richmond, Va., he d. May 19, 1S83,
aged 60 yrs. His widow is living with her children in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Like most New England boys his education was confined to the
public schools, and what they could do for him up to the age of fifteen,
when he began the struggle for mastery with fate, by deliberately choos-
ing the bench of the shoemaker for his start in business life. The
^irit of the boy was not much different from that displayed in later
years, for it was not long before his natural mechanical and inventive
endowments began to carve for him that lai^er career that finally won
for him so high a. place among his fellows. Naturally his inventive
genius tamed in the direction of boot and shoe manufacture, and it
was not surprising that at a comparatively early age he was the acknowl-
edged inventor of the heel pressing and nailing machines, from which
he has deservedly won a large fortune. Of course shoe manufacturing
was the early dream of the young mechanic and inventor, and he soon
found his way into the active work that this important industry entails.
His ventures were not confined to Worcester or the State of Massa-
chusetts, for the records place him in Providence, R. I., in various
cities in New York, New Jersey, and in Worcester in 1863. One of
the daring acts of bis business career was organizing the prison
labor of several state prisons, and in an incredibly short time setting
hundreds of men at work to supply the demands suddenly forced upon
him. la 1870 he withdrew from the active personal care of manu-
facturing interests and plunged into other equally absorbing cares with
the wisdom and energy that had hitherto characterized him.
Securing control of the Worcester & Shrewsbury railroad, and a large
portion of the real estate at Lake Quinsigamond, he began at once the
wise development of both, and has already accomplished wonders in
the development of the most lovely section of our state. As president
of the railroad he at once provided steel rails, newer and better en-
gines and cars, built a pretty station at the lake, and with car houses

and gradings expended thousands of dollars, every one of which, in no
uncertain sense, resulting in positive good to the entire city. At the
lake he has created the charming village of Lake View, and he has
made it possible for any thrifty young man to own a house for himself
and dear ones. While busy with these important enterprises, he kept
others of equal magnitude well in hand. The Bullard Rifle Company
of Springfield, Mass., is indebted to him for its establishment. The
Electric Power Company has him for a strong arm to lean upon, and
the list might be extended greatly in the simple enumeration of the
various interests that claim his care and attention. As a business man
he has the proud record of achieving whatever he undertakes, and of
never tiring or giving up until the end is reached and his purpose
accomplished. As a man, the name of H. H. Bigclow will ever be
associated with unceasing efforts to help his fellows, and with a per-
sistent and unflagging purpose to stand by the unfortunate. The right
to free speech is sacred in his eyes, and to maintain it in the person of
one who was unjustly oppressed, he did not hesitate a moment to
spend freely thousands of dollars. No man is more generous to a van-
quished opponent, revenge never enters into his battle against wrong ;
it is that right should prevail he struggles ; that attained, he holds out
both hands in warm friendship. With Hon. Edward L. David he has
given the city of Worcester one hundred and ten acres for a Lake Park,
and is a generous supporter of all good enterprises.
He consummated the largest real estate purchase ever made within
the city proper. The vast tract of land formerly used for railroad pur-
poses lying east of Main, between Mechanic and Foster streets, and
covering one hundred and fifteen thousand square feet, he bought and
has held inviolate for the purpose of erecting thereon the finest build-
ing devoted to business purposes, not alone in this county or state, but
in New England. With the purchase of this land there came into his
hands the large building known as a skating rink. At that time this
form of amusement was but little enjoyed. By a wise policy of low
prices, band concerts and various attractions offered from time to time,
he was able to furnish pleasant amusement to thousands at a cost that
whole families could afford to pay. And from his success in this direc-
tion sprang the craze that swept like a prairie lire throughout the land.
His only purpose in allowing the rink to be run was to give the people
pleasant amusement at a low cost.

terprises, the defender of the poor and friendless, the helper of the

JOHN Dodge« (2614), b. in Rowley, Mass., May 28, 1748. Was
of Blue Hill, Me., in 1783, at the time of his marriage to Susanna
Morgan of Beverly, Mar, 13, 1783. She was a relative of Gen.
Morgan. She d., date not known; and he m. (2) Catherine Galen.
In 1788 he left Beverly, Mass., for Marietta, Ohio, where he remained
in the fort several months, then went up the Muskingum to Wolf
Creek, to what is now Walerford, Ohio, bought land of the Ohio
company, and with Maj. Haffield White'' (389), and Col. Robert
Oliver, built the first flouring mill in Ohio in 1789. A stone from
that mill was exhibited at Chicago in 1893. On Mar. 8, 1790, Thomas
Wallcut, CapL John Dodge and Proctor, started on fool for
Massachusetts. On the 22d of March, Wallcut concluded he could
not keep up with Dodge and Proctor, although Dodge carried his pack
of 35 pounds at the rate of about three shillings per one hundred
miles, or twelve shillings to Philadelphia, but as they parted, Wallcut
paid only nine shillings. The condition of the colony for two or three
years after 1791 was very serious, and the heroism of the setders was
something very memorable. Mrs. Susanna Dodge is considered to
have been a remarkable woman ; she ministered largely to the com-
fort and success of the pioneer colony. She was actively useful, hav-
ing a genius for finding means to serve useful ends. She taught the
children before the first teachers were employed, and yet with all her
cares she found time to keep a diary of the events of that isolated
colony, and of the long struggle with hostile Indians. She is said to
have so won the good will of many of the red men by her kindness and
diplomacy; that the few -whom she reached and whom she made
friends, were once the means of saving the whole settlement near
Beverly, O., from massacre at the beginning of the Indian War in

WILLIAM B. Dodge^ (2633), b. in Rowley, Mass., Sept. 27, 1783 ;
was educated io Dummer Academy at Byfield, Mass., and became a
very saccessful teacher. In 1804 he opened a successful private school
in Salem, Mass. He m. Apr. 9, 1807, Sarah Dole of West Newbury,
Mass., b. Dec. 8, 1781. On the eaUblishment of the North school in
Salem, in 1807, he was invited to take chaige of it, which he accepted,
serving as master for twenty-seven years. While comiected with this
school he introduced the studies of geography and grammar, then taught
for the first time in the public schools of Salem. In the war of 1812
he was elected capt^n of a company to guard the coast ol Salem and
vicinity, and was given the commission of major before it closed.
Early converted, he lived an active Cliristian life, ready in every good
word and work, and entered heartily into all the reforms as they suc-
cessively claimed his attention and support. From his hospitable home
sailed the first missionaries for Palestine from Salem ; and here many
of the temperance and anti-slavery agents found a refuge in a later day,
and from here started many an oppressed slave on the underground
railway (or a land of freedom. About the year 1820, before any relig-
ious society had thought of such a thing, he, at the suggestion of a
neighbor, opened the first Sunday School in Salem, in the North school-
bouse. The first reason of its existence was to stop Sunday walking
among the young people, and a general lack of Sunday observance.
The school was crowded and continued many years, though only as a
summer school.
In 1827 he was appointed chaplain of the Salem almshouse, and
thenceforward prepared and conducted two religious services in that
institutioQ every Sabbath, in addition to his usual labors. In 1842, he
gave up all other employment to work as an anti-slavery agent, princi-
pally among the churches of Massachusetts. From his entrance into
Salem, the condition of the colored people had excited his pity, and
by sympathy, counsel and religious instruction, he had sought to com-
fort, encourage and elevate them. He gained their confidence and
love, and when, in 1834, the colored school was opened, he resigned
his position as principal of the North school, to accept a like position
in it, which, considering his intense anti-slavery principles, was emi-
nently proper, and his great success justified the change. In 1844, at
the age of 61, he went to Milburn, III., and setUed among his children,
who had purchased property there.
It was a settlement of various nationalities and diverse religious
views. A little band of Christians had organized themselves into a

MAJ.-GEN. Grenville M. Dodge" (2726), b. in Putnamville, Danvers,
Mass., Apr. 12, 1831. His time was employed more in work than study
in his youth, although all his opportunities both day and evening were
improved. In the winter of 1S45-6 he attended the academy at
Durham, N, H. In 1846 he entered Norwich University in Vermont
and graduated in 1850. In 1851 he took his diploma from Capt.
Partridge's military school in Norwich, and went immediately to Peru,
III., where for a few months he was engaged in city and land surveys.
He was employed in making the surveys for different railroads until
1854, when he moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa, and engaged in mer-
cantile pursuits and freighting upon the plains, sending the first train
through to Denver. In Council Bluffs he established the banking
house of Baldwin & Dodge, later merged in the Pacific National Bank,
of which he became president After moving to Council Bluffs, he
made a claim on the Elkhorn river in Nebraska and occupied it in
February, 1855, but stayed there only six months, the Indians obliging
him to return with his family to Council Bluffs. In 1856 he organized
the Council Bluffs Guards and was elected captain, and at the break-
ing out of the war, tendered its services to the governor of Iowa, but
the offer was declined because the governor deemed it best not to
draw any troops from the western border of Iowa, but accepted his in-
dividual services and sent him to Washington to arrange for arming
and equipping the State troops. In this mission he was remarkably
successful. He was tendered a captain's commission in the regular
army, which he declined, and was recommended in June, 1861, by
Simon Cameron, secretary of wax to Governor Kirkwood, for appoint-
ment as colonel of the Fourth Iowa Volunteers. At the celebrated
battle of Pea Ridge, March 6, 7, and 8, 1862, three horses were killed
and a fourth wounded under him, and he was seriously wounded.
For his gallantry he was immediately made a brigadier-general upon
the recommendation of Major-General Halleck.
After the fall of Vicksburg in July, 1863, "for gallant and meritorious
services and for extreme fitness for command, corresponding, to the
increased rank," General Grant recommended him for promotion to

JOHN WHITK. 231
major-general of voluateers, and it was approved by H. W. Halleck,
general-in-chief. Aug. 17, 1663, he was sent north on sick leave for
sixty days. A history of his service for his country cannot be given
here, but is found in her war records and can be read by all with great
interest, also a more extended account of his labors may be found in
the genealogy of the Dodge family of Essex county, Massachusetts, by
Joseph Thompson Dodge, to which I am indebted for this brief sketch.

on the Elkhom river, twenty-three miles northwest of Omaha, then an
Indian country, and the most western settlement short of Utah, north
of the Platte river. Abotrt the first of August, on account of Indian
depredation, they had to abandon their farm and retire to a log cabin
on the site of the present city of Omaha. In the spring of 1856 the
father, mother, and daughter Julia, returned to the farm, and the two
sons engaged in business in Council Bluffs, where they have made their
homes ever since. Nathan P. has been a real estate agent many years,
and is president of the Council Bluffs Savings Bank. He m. in Coun-

education was obtained at the district school in New Boston, and in
New London Academy. Being the youngest son, he inherited the old
homestead, taking the care of it from his aged father ; with the charac-
teristic energy of his ancestors, he applied himself to beautifying and
improving it. In a few years the attractions of the great west began to
be fett, and he was about to yield to their influence, having agreed to
sell the old homestead, when his neighbors and fellow church members
rose up as one man in remonstrance. The appeal was so impressive,
that for years he abandoned his purpose, and continued his severe
labors on a New Hampshire farm. His sons arriving at maurity de-
sired to embrace the larger opportunities of life, and forsook the old
home. In 1868, he advertised his homestead and it passed out of the
family. He moved to New Ipswich, N. H., to give his children the
advantage of Appleton Academy. Freed from the cares of farm life,
he made a trip to the west, and being so much impressed with its
beauty, fertility and increasing advantages, he and his faithful wife, in
the fall of 1869, bid farewell to their native state and removed to the
vicinity of Webster City, Hancock Co., Iowa. He entered with vigor
upon his new farm life, but in about twelve years, upon the death of
his wife, he gave up active labor and has since found a home with his
youngest daughter in Webster City, enjoying his declining years and
walking in the faith of his fathers, cheerfully awaiting the summons to a
higher life." Children :

brother Daniel, then of New Brunswick, N, J,, postmarked Harpers-
field, O., February 5 (1820), it is learned that he was then living in
Harpersfield, Ashtabula County, in a poor state of health and a very
distressed state of mind on account of what appears to have been
religious difierences, but he seems to have regarded his religion as the
chief concern of life. We have no date of his marriage or name of his
wife, but he gave the following information about his children : Ten

His father removed from Nova Scotia to Machias, Me., in 1776. His
mother was a very pious member of the Episcopal church, but soon
embraced the Baptist faith. The son at eighteen was converted and
united with the Baptist church of Woodstock, Vt., and soon felt called
to preach the gospel. About this time he sailed for the West Indies,
was taken by the French, stripped of all he h'ad, and in a state of
destitution he found his way to Baltimore, where he m. Jan. IS, 1799,

warmly received by Christian friends, he was induced to accept a
license to preach from the First Baptist church. Rev. Mr. Richards,
pastor ; was ordained in 1801 in Maryland. At the commencement of
his ministry he traveled much on horseback, success attending his
labors. After a year or two spent in this manner he became pastor of
the First Baptist church in Wilmington, Del. During the ten or
twelve years at Wilmington, he enjoyed a remarkable revival of

1832, with success. Urged by friends and a sense of duty, he went to
NewaA, N. J., in 1832, to heal the divided state of the church there.

Daniel Connery, b. Dec. 16, 1800. He had been living in the state
of New Vork before marriage, then went to Nova Scotia, and was

his family to Newburg, N. Y., and to Massachusetts, and was absent
two years. In a letter dated Annapolis, Feb. 8, 1843, to his cousin,
Rev. Daniel Dodge of Philadelphia, he says : " I still own the greater
part of the old homestead farm that was granted to our grandfather
Josiah. Reuben (his brother), sold his part at the death of our
father." His letter shows that he was renting his farm and living in
the township of Annapolis, that he had no children till about twenty-
one years after he was married, and that himself and wife were
members of the Episcopal church, as his parents had been. Children :

" Pauiyra, Portage Co., Ohio, June 24, 1843,
" My Dear Uncle, — An opportunity to send a letter free by Mr.
Lewis. Received yours of 17th April, The first I ever received from
you. (Dilates upon preaching the gospel.) My brothers and sisters
are scattered. Two brothers and two sisters live in Harpersfield, Ash-
tabula Co. 1 was out to see them last week. Two brothers and two
sisters have gone to Pleasant, Van Wart Co., in western part of this
state. The other two I know not where, as 1 have not seen some oi
them for six years. They are all married and some have large families.
" Religion, as it is called in these days, has been quite flourishing
in this section for a few months past.
" The Campbellites, the Methodists and Baptists have increased in
number if not in graces. I have baptized 17 in our church the year
past, and five in the Mount Union church. The Salem church have
bapt. 72.
"I am in low circumstances (as to money). I have been talking
of coming to see you and I think I shall before long, as droveyours are
going from here to your city every season. I shall try to obtain a
chance to come with them.
" I expect a Brother Wilson from the church in ML Union, where I
preach half the time ; will call to see you before long.
" I am fully a Baptist of the old stamp. The Lord willing, I
expect to live and die a Baptist, although unworthy the name. Vou
will excnse my poor writing and worse spelling, as I have never enjoyed
but three months schooling in my life. Yours in the hope of heaven
and in the bonds of the Gospel. Gilead Dodge."

Ky., Sept. 25, 1824 ; m. 1848, Mary L., dau. of Philip Hathaway of
Montgomery county, Ky., a representative of one of the early pioneer
families of Virginia. The Williams family is of Welsh extraction, and,
according to family tradition, descendants of Roger Williams of Provi-
dence, Rhode Island.
" Prof. Williams passed the opening years of his life at Paris, Bour-
bon county, where his earliest instruction was received, and at the age
of fifteen entered Bacon College, then located at Georgetown, as a stu-
dent While in attendance at this institution it was removed to Har-
lodsbui^, and subsequently became known as the Kentucky University,
from which our subject graduated in 1843, under the presidency of
Dr. James Shannon. He subsequently received the degree of A. M.
from his Alma Mater, and later that of LL. D. from the Masonic Uni-
versity of La Grange, Ky. After leaving college he entered on the
study of law with a view of adopting that profession, but was prevented
from accomplishing that purpose by the development of a very decided
taste for teaching and the discovery of serious needs in the educational
system of the state. In 1848 he took charge of what was called Pros-
pect Hill Seminary, a boarding school for young ladies and gentlemen
near Mt Sterling, an institution which became very prosperous under
his management, and in which he obtained considerable distinction for
his original methods and superior talents as a teacher. He soon after
established a female college at North Middletown, in Bourbon county,
known as the Bourbon Institute, in which he aimed to carry into full
effect his advanced plans of education. In 1851 he was urged to and
did establish his institution at Columbia, Missouri, the seat of the Mis-
souri University. A liberal charter was granted by the state, and under
the designation of Christian College it was formally organized in the

Spring of that year. His conduct of the school brought it into popular
notice and universal popularity, filling it to oveTflowing with young
ladies of the best families in the state. He presided over that institu-
tion until 1856, when iU health and a desire to return and labor in his
native state induced him to resign. In that year he purchased, in con-
nection with his father, the property at Harrodsbui^, upon which is
situated the celebrated Greenville Magnesian Springs, and established
the Daughters College, which became one of the most successful insti-
tutions of its kind in the state. In 1865 President Williams was
appointed to the chair of moral and mental philosophy in the Kentucky
University, and afterwards to the presidency of the State College, and
then to that of the College of Arts at Lexington. The State College
was organized at Lexington in 1866, largely through the instrumentality
of President Williams. The two former positions he accepted and
filled, but declined the latter. In 1868 Prof. Williams resigned his
position in the University at Lexington, and returned to his beloved
pupils at Harrodsburg. Soon its halls were filled. He was one of the
original movers in the organization of the State Teachers' Association,
has contributed extensively to various literary and religious periodicals,
and delivered many addresses. His life of Elder John Smith is a well
known and standard volume. His most important work, however, will
be the one on Christian Ethics, now in course of preparation. He
has also occasionally been induced to occupy the pulpits of various
churches, both in and out of his own denomination.
" He is a Mason of high degree, and of national reputation as a
pleasant and orthodox expounder of the principles of the order.
While resting from his arduous professional labors he was induced to
accept the Grand lectureship for the State of Kentucky, which position
he filled for two years with much profit to the craft. He is a man of
fine tastes, has a great fondness for poetry, literature and art; of genial
and attractive presence, kindly nature and grcady esteemed and
respected by his associates and pupils, as well as by the community at
large." — From the Kentucky Craftsman.

Visrr TO A Centenarian. — The I04th birthday of Mrs. Anah Goss of
this place occurred today, but your correspondent knowing her great
regard for the strictest observance of the Sabbath, paid her a birthday
visit on Saturday afternoon. We found her sitting quietly by the fire
in an easy chair, which she politely offered to vacate for us; her
appearance being that of a "smart old lady of seventy," cheerful and
happy. In conversation with her we found that her memory was good
pertaining to events that transpired in her childhood and early woman-
hood, but failed to recall matters of recent date. In alluding to the
snow storm, which at that time seemed undecided whether to yield to
the sun or to continue in the mild way which had given us but three
inches in twenty hours, she remarked that these storms weie " not
much like old-fashioned snow storms." She remembered one, some
eighty-five years ago, "when her husband found the snow one morning
above the top of the door, and nearly to the eaves of the house, and
was obliged to tunnel through to the street." As an instance of her
earliest recollections, she narrated very feelingly the circumstances of
the death of her little brother, Stephen, ninety-eight years ago, she then
being six years old and he some two years younger. She remarked
that " the dear little fellow would refuse to take his medicine except
sister Anah brought it to him," She also remembered the circum-
stance of the death of her father, which occurred away from home, of
small-pox, when she was quite young. He desired to go home, and a
hoise was brought to him and he mounted it, but was too weak to ride.
She also remembers the collection of soldiers in 1775, as that year they
marched so near her house with fife and drum.
Some days ago she called her daughter, Mrs. Wilcox, who lives with
her and makes her every care and want her study, and said to her ;
"Now, Elizabeth, you know that my birthday this year comes on the
Lord's day, and as His days are so much better than any of my days, I
want you to write to our friends not to visit us on the Sabbath, but to
come Saturday." Her daughter of course complied, quoting her
mother's remarks, and the usual visit from friends upon the anniversary
of her birth will occur probably to-motrow, the storm of Saturday

preventing it then, among whom are ex-Mayor P. C. Cheney and wife
o( Manchester, Mrs. Cheney being a granddaughter of this venerable
woman.
The health of Mrs. Goss seems good, generally speakii^, but she is
growing constantly weaker and more inclined to sleep, while her mind
has failed considerably the past year. She reads the newspapers some,
preferring those with large type, though we noticed upon her table the
Weekly Journal. She does not approve of female suffrage, and says
she should not consider herself old enough to vote if she was allowed so
to do. — From the Boston Journal.
The Amherst Cabinet says: "The 105th birthday of Mrs. Anah
Goss of this town, now the oldest person in the state, was made the
occasion of a family re-union on Monday, 1st There were present,
Mr. and Mrs. White, the latter a daughter of Mrs. Goss, aged 79 years ;
Mrs. Wilcox, a daughter who lives with Mrs. Goss; Hon. Person C.
Cheney and wife of Manchester, the latter a granddaughter ; Josiah
Laselle, Esq., and wife of Manchester, Mrs. Laselle being a granddaugh-
ter; and Miss Elizabeth Whitney of Boston, also a granddaughter.
Mrs. Goss, although gradually failing in mind and body, was able to be
about the house and enjoy the visit of her friends. She sat at the
table, saying grace, as is her usual custom. Her eyesight has failed
considerably within the last year, so that she now reads nothing but
her Bible, and occasionally the large type in the advertising columns of
the papers."
" Death of a Centenarian. — Mrs. Atiah Goss, the oldest person
in the state, died at Amherst, N. H., on Saturday morning, March 20,
at the venerable age of one hundred and five years, one month and
nineteen days. Her decease was neither sudden nor unexpected.
Some three or four weeks since she took a cold which afiected her
lungs considerably, but it was hoped that she might recover from it,
though it so prostrated her that she could not rally.
"Mrs, Goss was the daughter of Stephen Bathrick of Lunenburg,
Mass., where she was born Feb. 1, 1770. She came to Amherst in
1785, then being fifteen years of age, and one year later married
Ephraim Goss, a soldier returned from the war, with whom she lived
fifty-four years, till his decease in 1840, and by whom she had ten chil-
dren, seven daughters and three sons, two daughters being still alive —

wants in her decliniog years. Three granddaughters survive her — one
the estimable wife of Hon. P. C, Cheney of Manchester, who for years
has left nothing undone that would contribute to the comfort or pleasure
of the deceased ; Mrs. Josiah Laselle of Manchester and Miss Elizabeth
Whitney of Boston.
" The deceased retained her faculties in a remarkable degree until
within a year or two, since which time her memory failed her, and also
her eyesight, preventing her reading anything except her Bible, which
she always made a daily study. She was for over four score years a
member of the Congregational church in this town, and gave all her
children to the Lord by baptism in their infancy. She was among the
last Revolutionary pensioners in the country, her husband having been
a lifer in that war."

missioner for three years. In 1866 he removed to Manchester, N. H.,
and became a dealer in paper stock and manufacturers' supplies. He
also engaged in paper manufacture at Goffstown, N. H., in the firm of
Cheney & Thorpe. He is now at the head of the P. C. Cheney Com-
pany.
Shortly after coming to Manchester he became prominent in the
Republican party and was elected mayor in 1871, one of the marked
features of his successful administration being the introduction of the
fire alarm telegraph system. He declined a renomination, but was
chosen governor in 1875 and 1876, wresting the state from the Demo-
cratic party. In 1872 he was elected a trustee of Bates College, and
founded a scholarship in that institution. At the close of his guber-
natorial service, Dartmouth College conferred upon him the degree of
A. M. In Dec, 1892, he was appointed envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to Switzerland, at which post he remained
until June 29, 1893. He was one of the directors of the Peterboro
Bank, and has been president of the Peoples Savings Bank of Man-
chester since its organization in 1874. Child :

dred miles from the last settlement the party lost the most of their
teams b>' a raid by the Cheyenne Indians. Mr. White and ten com-

crows, prairie dogs, etc., and part of the way without blankets, exposed
to many snow storms and blizzards, arriving in a nearly starved con-
dition, at what is now Denver city, in April, 1859. He m. in 1859,

1827. In May, 1829, he accepted a call to the pastorate of the Bap-
tist church in West Plattsburg, N. Y., where he was ordained in Feb-
ruary, 1830. He mairied at West Plattsburg, Jan. 13, 1830, Ann

1836 he became the pastor of a new church at Fort Covington, N. Y. ;
became pastor at Parma, N. Y., in October, 1839, and at Newton Falls,
Ohio, in March, 1841. He removed to Garretsville, Ohio, in 1842 ;
accepted a call to return to his first church in Plattsburg, N. Y., in
1844. His health failing in 1847, he was able to preach only occa-
sionally for several years, and was finally obliged to give up all labor.
He was a man of clear intellect, poetical imagination, generous heart,
modest and retiring manners, and earnest Christian spirit. He was a
good classical scholar, fond of study, and of marked literary tastes.
He commanded respect and love in his home and parish. As a result
of his first year's work, over seventy members were added to his church
in Plattsburg. Similar success attended his labors in other pastorates.
While devoted to the ministry, he also took a deep interest in national
affairs, followed current events closely, and threw himself with ardor
into the anti-siavery cause. In person he was of good size and propor-
tion, of a florid complexion, but with dark hair and eyes. He d. at

Dodge, Sally deserves special mention for her kind, gentle, even dis-

weight of character, and exerted a decided influence in the home, the
church, and the community ; at the same time she was of so mild a

lived on the old homestead till 1847, when he went into a store in
Hanover as clerk, and subsequently engaged in trade on his own
account for about fifteen years. He then engaged in manufacturing
flannels in Enfield, N. H. In 1883 he became one of the owners of a
factory at Bristol, N. H., which became, in 1887, the property of a
corporation under the name of the Dodge-Davis Manufacturing com-
pany, with a capital of 1150,000. Since that time he has retired from
active business and resides at Entield, N. H. Mr. Dodge bears the
reputation of a strong, kind, efficient man, of great modesty and
inflexible integrity. Though starting with nothing of his own, and
with some inherited obligations to discharge, he has by business
sagacity built up one of the best woolen mills in New England. As a
public-spirited citizen he is held in high estimation in his town and
state. Though a pronounced Democrat, he has more than once been
sent to the legislature from a district strongly Republican. With a
characteristic recognition of family obligations and pride in the family
name, he has used his large property generously for the benefit of
relatives less fortunate than himself. He is a man of over average
stature and weight, with brown eyes and dark complexion and hair.

ABRAHAM Dodge* (384), b. in Wenham, Mass., Mar. 18, 1729-

She is said by a descendant to have been a sister or a niece of Gen.
Joseph Warren. The records of Essex and Worcester counties fail to
show that he owned land in either county, but he was a resident of
BrookReld in 1770, when the probate court of Worcester county
appointed Jonathan Dodge of Ipswich guardian of his children, as
named below. I'he file of papers in the case does not call Abraham,
deceased, nor does it disclose the reason for a. guardian being appointed.
A descendant says he was a "trooper" in the Revolutionary war.
This is confirmed by the Revolutionary Archives of Massachusetts,
which show that he served in Capt. Enoch Noble's company from June
29 to July 21, 1777, and from July 21 till .August 15, 1777, in Capt.
John King's company. His age at that time was 47 years. He was a
farmer, and probably moved to New Marlboro between 1770 and 1776.

the pleasure of seeing any of your handwriting. I have heard from
you once in a while, by our nephew, son of our Brother Oliver, I
received a letter from. He was in New Orleans, but did not like the
place, he said that his time would be out there the last of May, then
he would come to Georgia. I want to hear from you, I want you to
write me word, what you are doing, I hear that Lucy has been married
twice & don't live with her last husband. The reason, I can't find
out, I want you to let me know the reason, be it good or bad.
Please let me know the worst of it. I want you to come to Georgia to

time get wood & feed youi cattle, there is land enough to be had
on good terms, if you will come, I will Rnd you land to tend as lor^ as
you please to tend it. I will find you plenty to eat for one year. My
wife says come, the children say come & God saith come out from
among them, you can make cotton a plenty, flax groweth well, sheeps
wool is cheap ; a fine place for peaches and apples ; all kinds of
garden truck groweth well, this part of the world is not more sickly
than where you live. It is belie^'ed if any come to the southard, they
will die. The reason is because, when they come they say the water
is so bad for fear the water should make them sick they take so much
ardent spirit that it kills some thai & other dissipations, any person
that believes in Go<l, date not say that he will punish anybody for
going to any part of the world to get a comfortable living. I want you
to write as soon as you get this & say you will come this fall. If
you come by water to Savannah I will find some way to get you up the
country, but if you tlon't like to come by water get you a little wagon
one or two horses, you can come in six or seven weeks. Start the first
of September, it will be a fine lime for man & horses, take your bed
and cloth, a small pot, a teakettle & coffee pot. Your wagon will sell
for more here than it cost there, so you will get the loan of it for naught.
If that part was as much better to live in as this is better than that I
would take my bundle on my back & walk there. As I can't be with
you, God be with you is the prayer of your brother,

lived for a time in Wenham, but removed to Danvers, Mass., before
1787. He is therefore quoted in histoiy as a native of Danvers.
From the " Lexington Alarms, vol. 13, p. 38," I find Hafheld White
with rank of private on the Lexington Alarm roll of Capt. Billy Porter's
company and Col. John Baker's regiment, which marched on the
alarm of April 19, 1775, from Wenham, to which town the soldier
belonged. In eight months service, "vol. 18, page 87," I find Haffield
White with rank of second lieutenant on muster roll of CapL Ebenezer
Francis' company and Col. Mansfield's regiment, dated Aug. 1, 1775.
Time of enlistment, April 26, 1775 ; time of service, three months and
thirteen days. Belonged in Wenham. "Worcester Roll, vol. 50, file
1," Haflield White appears with rank of captain on muster roll of the
Geld and staff officers of the 5th Massachusetts regiment. Col. Rufus
Putnam, for January, 1781, garrison at West Point, appointed January
1, 1777, reported furloughed to April 1, 1781. The above is found
on the Massachusetts Archives, in the State House, in Boston, with
many other references to Maj. White, and in Hildreth's "Lives of the
Early Settlers of Ohio," 1852, we find the following : —
"Maj. Haffield White, native of Danvers, Mass., (Wenham). A
lieutenant in company of minute men, April 19, 1775, followed the
retreating Britons from Concord, and fired on them from behind stone
walls, lost, 8 killed from his company. Soon afterwards commissioned
captain, raised a company of men and was a most efficient officer at
the crossing of the Delaware, and at the battle of Trenton. Many of

his men being sailors and being useful in manning the boats to cross
the army. He was with Gen. St Clair at Ticonderoga and under Col.
Francis fought manfully at batde of Hubbardstown, thereby checking
the British troops and enabling the Americans to reach Stillwater and
form the nucleus of that army which soon afterward conquered
Burgoyne, and turned the tide of conquest. He was engaged in many
of the battles preceding this overthrow, and shared in the glories and
triumphs of Saratoga, Oct. 13, 1777. At the retreat from Ticonderoga
he was pay-master of the regiment and in that disaster lost a targe
sum of money, which was not allowed by the United States.
" When Col. Pickering took charge of the commissary department of
the army, being acquainted with the integrity and activity of Capt.
White, living in the same town, he was selected for one of his assis-
tants, and remained in that branch of the service until the close of the
war, when he wa^ made major."
We find Haffield White's name as one of the original members of
the Society of the Cincinnati, on page 510 and page 540, in the
"Memorial of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati."
"At the formation of the Ohio company he became one of the pro-
prietors, and was appointed by the directors, commissary and con-
ductor of first detachment of pioneers which left Danvers in December,
1787.
"On their arrival at Marietta he was continued as their steward for
the first year, when that office was no longer needed. His son
Pelatiah was one of the 48 who landed from the 'Mayflower' at
Marietta on April 7, 1788. In 1789 he engaged with Co!. Oliver and
Capt. Dodge (2614) in erecting mills on Wolf Creek. When war with
the Indians began, he left and came to Marietta and remained until
after the peace of 1795. He then resumed his possessions, a farm
near the mills, now Waterford, and lived with his son until his death.
" In person Maj. White was below medium size, thick set and robust.
Very active and brisk in his motions, prompt to execute business in
most expeditious manner. Complexion florid, and sanguine tempera-
ment. A brave soldier, and a very useful and industrious citizen."

"A party consisting of 22 men, under command of Capt. White,
assembled at Danvers, Mass., in December, 1787. They included
boat builders and mechanics. Toward last of January, 1788, Major
White and par^ reached his destination on the Yohiogany River at

Sumrills Feiry, about 30 miles above Pittsbiugh. The surveyor and
remainder of the pioneers assembled at Hartford, Conn., early in Janu-
ary, 178S, and commenced their march under command of Gen. Put-
nam, aided by Col. Ebenezer Sprout. They arrived at Sumrills Ferry
in the middle of February, and on account of the uncommon severity
of the weather little progress had been made in building the boats.
By April 2d the large boat was ready and the company left in the after-
noon of that day. The ' Adventure Galley,' as she was called, was
afterwards named the 'Mayflower.' She was 45 feet long and 12 feet
wide, estimated burthen 50 tons. A flat boat and three canoes were
added to the flotilla. Landed at Marietta, 7lh April, 1788."
From the family of Major White I receive the following : —
Major Hafheld White and his sons, Pelatiah and Josiah White, are
among the 48 names inscribed on the granite monument which is
located on the spot where it is supposed they landed at Marietta.
Major Haffield White is buried at Bell Pre, which is about fifteen miles
from Marietta. He once commanded the outposts there, and he, in
his old age, lived on the farm near there, with his son Pelatiah, where
he died Dec. 13, 1818. Children:
4096. Lydia,« b. Dec. 9, 1761 ; d. Jan. 28, 1765.

Josiah White in 1769 bought land in "New Britton," N. H., and in
1775, he bought land in Chichester, now Pittsfield. In 1777, Josiah
White moved with his family to Pittsfield, N. H., going through the
woods by marked trees, with no other conveyance than an ox-sled and
a pillion for his wife and five children. He took up his abode in the
outskirts of an unbroken forest. Years of hard labor followed, which at
length brought to him and his family the comfort of a niial home. He
built the first mill in Pittsfield, and the place where it stood is now

There were ten members who covenanted together at that time ; their

generous and filial gift of Hon. J. Wilson White of Nashua, a native of
Pittsfield, and grandson of Josiah White, Sr. Josian White, Jr., was
the first one in Pittsfield to take work and employ others in the making
of shoes. Taking his work from Epping he employed his neighbors,
who wished to do something else in connection with fanning. As their
pay came due, Mr. White would advance the money, expcctii^ to
receive it again from his employer, when he suddenly left the country,
and Mr. White was obliged to mor^^e his farm in order to pay his
help, which, with his large family, kept him for many years in hard
circumstances ; but, though in humble life, he was ever an honorable,
industrious and strictly temperate man, and very active even in his old
age, working his tax ujion the highway when eighty-four years old.

appeared in Pittsfield, and Mr. White's family were very much afflicted
by it, and the following was printed in a little book at that time :
"A faithful narrative of the sayings, or dying words of Eliza White,
daughter of Mr. Jeremiah White of Pittsfield, aged six years, nine
months and nineteen days, who departed this life April 20th, 1814,
after an illness of three days of the spotted fever.
"The day before she died, she appeared to lie in a state of insen-
sibility for some time, and it was thought by the bystanders that she
never would speak again. At length, being aroused from that state,
like one awakened from sleep, she called her friends, and addressed
them severally in the following words ;
"She asked Betsey Gerrish, who was standing by the bed, 'if she
was willing to die.' To her brother Samuel, she addressed herself thus :
'Von must die and I hope you will go to Jesus.' Taking him by the
right hand, she said, 'I hope I shall meet you at the right hand of
Jesus ;' and told him ' not to mourn (or her, for she should be better off
than to be here,'
"To her Sir, she said : 'Do not mourn for me, mourn for yourself.
1 hope I shall meet you in Heaven ;' and asked him ' if he felt willing to
die,' and said, 'Sir, don't live wickedly ;' and said 'she could, after her
death, bear to have the nails driven upon her that is in her coffin," To
her mother, she said, taking her by the hand, 'Can you forgive me ?

"To her aunt Molly : 'Do not mourn for me ;' and asked her 'if
she felt wilting to die,' and iaid 'I trust I shall go to heaven. Death
feels good to me when I think o( it.'
"To her uncle William : 'Uncle, I am going lo leave you. Voiit
children have to die, and it will be but a little while before they will go.
Vou must be willing to part with them. You and Sir must live in love,
and have no hard thoughts of each other.'
"To her aunt Mary White : 'Do you feel willing to die?' Her
aunt asked her if she felt willing to die. She answered, ' If it is God's
will, 1 should be willing to die, and go through the hardest death, and
do not care what 1 undergo here, if I could die and go home to glory.'
"She said to Mrs. Drake, 'I hope we shall go to Heaven together.
1 hope we shall all meet in Heaven. Death appears good lo me.' To
Joseph (lilnian, she said : '.^re you prepared to die? Do not mourn
for me, but mourn for yourself. 1 hope I shall meet you in Heaven.'
"To her uncle Josiah White : 'Do not mourn for me. I believe I
am going home to glory, and hope I shall meet you in Hea\en.'
"To her cousin Polly While, she said, 'Do not mourn for me, bul
mourn for yourself, for I am going home to glory, to that glorious
Jesus, and I hope I shall meet you in Heaven.' 'i'o some others she
addressed herself much after the same manner.
"She was asked if she would take some wine. She said 'she was
going where there was wine enough,' and said '.she would drink with
them now. Pray for me; 1 hope your prayers will he answered.'
And said, ' We have all got to turn to dust, and all come on earth again
at the great day of judgment.' To her Sir she said, ' 1 am going to
dust, and it will be but a few moments before my eyes will be closed in
death, and I shall go to that glorious Jesus, and I hope you will come
where I am going.'
"When she was speaking, she several times held up her hands and
said, '(ilory! glory I O, that glorious, happy place! Don't you
want to go to that happy place?'
"We have given the above expressions in the child's own language,
as she spoke them."

active business life. He went to Boston and entered into an appren-
ticeship in a drug store. Added to his other duties he began the study
o( medicine in all its branches, and continued it for several years after
until he was qualified for, and if occa-sion had required, could have
entered upon professional senice. Finishing his engagement at
Boston, he engaged as clerk to Luther .Angier, postmaster and druggist
at Medford, Mass., with the agreement that with proper notice, he
could leave to engage in business for himself. Early in the summer of
1845, Mr. White believed that that time had arrived. He had never
visited Nashua, N. H., but had heard of its reputation as a growing

TnaDufacturiog town. A few hours inspection settled the question, and
before leaving, he hired the store which he afterwards occupied for
nearly thirty years, as an apothecary. He was never idle. No man
was more thorough and paipstaking in the discharge of obligations to
hi.s customers. In many of the business enterprises of Nashua, Mr,
White took an active and id some of them a prominent part, engaging
in the transportation and sale of coal on his arrival ; he ha.s always
been the leading dealer in the trade. After the close of the war he
originated the project of and gave his attention to the construction of
the large blocks of stores on Main street, known as the "Merchants
Exchange," retaining for himself and son, the corner store. Karly in
1875 he conceived the idea of establishing a new National bank, and
in the April following obtained a charter. The people of Nashua and
vicinity, believing in his financial ability, immediately subscribed for
the stock and elected him president, a position he i^ontinued to hold
until within a year of his death, when failing health compelled him to
resign. At the same time he resigned for the same reason the
treasurership of the Mechanics' Saving bank. From 1876 to 1891 he
was prominently connected with the affairs of the Nashua & Ixjwell
railroad as a director and treasurer. For many years this road ha<l
been connected and used by the Boston & Ixjweil railroad corporation
and as Mr. White clearly saw on terms greatly to the disadvantage of
the stockholders of the Nashua & I .oweil company, he undertook to
bring up the value of the stoi:k. How well his measures succeeded
was realized not only by every stockholder, but in all railroad circles
throughout New England. In a word he was essenlially a business
man in the full sense of the term. In 1846 Mr, White was united in
marriage with Caroline Graham, dau. of Caleb and Nancy (Underhill)
