EXPLANATIONS.
Through the kindness and financial assistance of the presi-
dent of our association, Mr. J. B. White of Kansas City, Mo., I
am able to send out this last volume of our family Genealogy.
Though Mr. White is extensively engaged in Lumber and Bank-
ing business in the South and West, as well as Deputy Governor
General of Missouri, to the General Society of Colonial Wars.
Yet since he learned of my work in 1894, he has been deeply
interested in the history, genealogy and ancestry of the family
and besides helping me, when the work has been too hard for
one, he has also employed men in England to look up the ances-
try of John, out emigrant ancestor, and we hope yet to be able
to give you the benefit of his expenditures there.
Besides the 27,196, which are numbered in regular order in
the three volumes, there are 808 in the first volume whose record
was not received in season and had to be designated by letter ;
984 in the second and 735 in the third, making the birth or
baptism of 29,723 in the three volumes ; adding the 1,833 whose
record is found in the " White Family Quarterly," giving 31,556
descendants of John White.
I have used no unusual abbreviations, using those of months
and states; b. born; bapt. baptized; d. died; p. page; vol. vol-
ume ; dau. daughter.
I make no distinction in the male and 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 -J- it will be found again in its proper place
with the birth number in a bracket at the right of the name. It
no -|- follows, all I could learn is recorded at the birth. The
small superior figures at the end of each name denotes the
generation.
This volume contains branches from the fifth generation,
is not complete without the first volume, which gives the first
five generations, also the old homesteads, and many articles of
interest, as well as a complete copy of Mrs. Mary (White) Row-
landson's "Removes," giving her captivity among the Indians
in 1676.

VOLUME III.
DOROTHY Whitcomb5 (685), b. in Lancaster, Mass., May 13,
1739; m. in Leominster, Mass., June 23, 1757, Stephen Johnson
of Leominster. There is a tradition in the family that Mr. John-
son was from Hingham, and of Scotch descent, but we have been
unable, though making every effort possible, to connect him with
the Hingham family or that of any of the other early families of
Johnson. Our first knowledge of him is his baptism, as an adult,
July 30, 1749, in First church, Lancaster. They lived in Leo-
minster, on the place recently owned by the late Jonas Col burn
on Pleasant street. He was a very public spirited man and held
many offices of public trust, was town clerk from 1767 to 1775.
We do not find the date of Mr. Johnson's death, but his will was
written May 9, 1799, probated Jan. 5, 1808. Mrs. Johnson d.
Nov. 20, 1804, aged 65. Children:

Leominster, Aug. 20, 1851, when it was said of her: "Mrs.
Johnson, widow of Joseph, occupied part of the house bought by
her husband of Obadiah Hills in 1785, the remainder being occu-
pied by his son, Capt. Joseph Johnson ; was familiarly known as
Aunt Huldah, being always a welcome guest in the families of
her neighborhood. Many of the younger generation cherished
grateful remembrance of her kindly service by way of nice needle-
work (which with her was a fine art), in preparing table and bed
linen for housekeeping. In time of sickness and bereavement
she was a tender nurse and kind friend ; her gentle and sympa-
thizing presence was ever a benediction to the afflicted." Children :

Col. ADOLPHUS S. Hubbard8 (20336), b. in Chicago, 111.,
July 7, 1838 ; where he was educated in the public schools. In
1853 he entered the telegraph service as a messenger boy, ex-
pecting to learn to be an operator. He was employed in this
capacity for two years. He subsequently went into the transpor-
tation business ; was superintendent of an express company and
cashier in an express office.' Going West, he stopped for a time
in New Mexico, going later to San Francisco, arriving there Dec.
28, 1866 ; where he has been deputy clerk of the city and county
of San Francisco ; deputy superintendent of streets, and he was
for five years employed in the United States mint. He m. in

Col. Hubbard's occupation is now given as " secretary of the
California Historical Society," but he is connected with many
other similar organizations. He was an instituting member and
once vice-president of the California Genealogical Society ; an hon-
orary member of the New Hampshire Historical Society ; cor-
responding member of the Chicago Historical Society, the Rhode
Island Historical Society and of the Oneida Historical Society, of
Utica, N. Y. He was an instituting member and formerly sec-
retary of California commandery of the Order of Foreign Wars,
and is a member of the New Hampshire Society of Colonial
Wars. He was president of the California Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution in 1886 and in 1892, and he also
bears the distinguished honor- of being recognized as the founder
of the Society. The idea of this society was first conceived in
California, the California society being instituted in 1875 and
completing its organization on July 4, 1876. Col. Hubbard is
given the credit of organizing the society and in a still greater
degree, of maintaining it through trials which would have dis-
couraged a less patriotic man. The esteem in which his services
in this connection are held is evidenced by the following resolu-
tions passed by the California society Sons of the American Rev-
olution September 3, 1892 :
" 1st. That the Society places on record, that its existence to-
Col. A. S. Hubbard.
JOHN WHITE. 75
day is due to the zeal, untiring devotion, and unceasing labors of
Past President Col. A. S. Hubbard, who aided in its inception
and has almost single-handed brought the Society through trials
and discouragements which beset all new societies, to its present
prosperous condition ; therefore it recognizes him as the founder
of the California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution,
and therefore founder of the Society at large.
" 2d. That the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution is earnestly requested in its procedings and publica-
tions to recognize Col. A. S. Hubbard as the founder of the Cal-
ifornia Society, and thereby founder of the Society at large, an
honor which by his patriotic labors he has merited, and to which
he is justly entitled.
" The congress of the Sons of the American Revolution held
in Louisville, Ky., May 1, 1890, ordered that Bro. Hubbard's
name be included among those of the president-general of the
national society.
" In California Masonic circles he enjoys the distinction of being
the dean of the secretaries' corps. He is not the oldest in years
nor has his term of service been the longest, but there is no Ma-
sonic secretary now serving in California who was elected prior
to December, 1864. He received his degrees in Chicago: in
Cleveland lodge, No. 211, in 1863, of which he was the secretary
from December, 1864, to December, 1865; in Washington Chap-
ter, No. 43, Apollo commandery, No. 1, and in Chicago council,
No. 4, R. and S. M., of which he was recorder in 1865. He was
a charter member of Chicago commandery, No. 19, and served
as its recorder.
" Bro. Hubbard attended in Chicago the first reception to
Abraham Lincoln after his election, at the Tremont House, Nov.
23, 1860. As secretary he called out Cleveland lodge, No. 211,
to participate in his funeral at Chicago, May 1, 1865. He was
made an honorary member of Ashler lodge No. 308, Chicago, in
1865. He took the first steps to organize Oakland commandery,
No. 11, of San Francisco, was its generalissimo in 1876, 1877 and
1878 ; he is now a life member of that body. He has been for
the past ten years secretary of Oriental lodge, No. 144, which he
served as senior warden in 1888 and 1889. He is an honorary
member of the Masonic Veteran Association of California and be-
longs to Golden Gate chapter, No. 1, O. E. S."

chased land and erected a log-cabin before his marriage. Mr.
Pierce was orderly sergeant in the Revolution and was in the

men before he fired, but never knew or wanted to know whether
he killed anyone or not. He was in Charlestown when the

JOHN Whitcomb7 (20587), b. in Batavia, N. Y., Oct. 4, 1816 ;
went to Michigan in 1831, settling in Eckford, Calhoun county;
m. Nov. 9, 1837, Nancy Emeline Hayes, b. in Saratoga county,
N. Y., (a second cousin of President Hayes). They celebrated
their golden wedding Nov. 9, 1887, in Batavia, Branch county,
Mich., where they remained upon their farm until the next year
when they went to Cold water, Mich., to live with their daughter
where she d. June 27, 1890; he d. in Coldwater, June 21, 1892.
It was said of him, " Passed at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Eli Ball, at the ripe age of seventy-six, John Whitcomb. He
came to Michigan in 1831, settling in Eckford; in 1850 they
moved to Gilead, Branch county, coming to Coldwater to reside
in 1856, when he became Sheriff Green's deputy. In 1860 he
was elected sheriff, holding the position four years; in 1870 he
was elected county treasurer, serving four years, and later he held
the position of city marshal, and it can be said without fear of
contradiction, that these several offices were never better filled.
After several years he moved to his farm in Batavia township,
where he resided until 1888, when a stroke of paralysis unfitted
him for active business, since which time his home has been with
his daughter Mrs. Ball. Coming from good old revolutionary
stock, it is no wonder he was possessed of a firmness and decision
of character that made him the admiration of all men ; yet with
all, he was one of the most kindly, genial and social of men,
possessed of a rich fund of humor and being a good story-teller, he
was a most companionable man. Of the strictest integrity, his
JOHN WHITE. 97
word was as good as a bond, and he never made a promise that he
did not intend to fulfil ; an unanswering Republican, almost the
last words that passed his lips were, ' I hope Harrison will be re-
nominated.' He was a Christian man, too, a member of the Free
Will Baptist Church, faithfully living up to its teachings." Chil-

Such was his love of books that it is related of him that as a boy
when sent to the field to plow, he would frequently be found in a
fence corner buried in his book while the plow stood idle, until
he was aroused from his studies. The love of books and studies
was the love of a lifetime ; as long as his failing strength in the
last months of his life would permit he read constantly. After
graduating he read law at Amherst for a time with Judge Dick-
ison, then went to Gallipolis, Ohio, to make his home with his
older brother, Simeon, with whom he continued his law studies,
meanwhile teaching school at Kyger and Gallipolis until he was
admitted to the bar, when he opened an office in Gallipolis, where
he practiced his profession until declining health put an end to
his active labors. He was elected prosecuting attorney of the
county in 1855, and married, in 1856, Ruth H. Early of Virginia,
sister of Gen. Jubal Early. Mr. Nash combined in an almost un-
qualified degree those qualities that make a lawyer and those
powers that make an orator ; was one of the few lawyers who
were equally ready and able to present a case to the court or jury.
As a trial lawyer he probably never had an equal in that county
or section of the state ; he was earnest in argument, keen in his
analysis of the law of a case and his presentation of the evidence
to the jury, with rare gifts of eloquence that made him an almost
unequalled advocate. He lacked nothing that was necessary to
the orator. His sense of humor was as keen as that of Swift :
his wide and continued reading of the English classics had made
him a master of English speech. His memory was wonderfully
retentive. Added to these he was by nature a poet in the highest
sense of the word : not a rhymster, but one who had the keen
appreciation of the beautiful, the delicacy of touch, the sensitive
nature, that makes poets and orators. He d. in Gallipolis, Sept.

the exception of a finishing course at the school kept by Rev.
Sanford Lawton of Springfield, Mass. In 1839 Mr. Taylor en-
tered the store of Colonel Bryant where he was clerk for two
years. In 1842 he began work for S. A Sackford & Co, and
soon afterward was made a partner in the firm, on his becoming
of age in 1843. The name of the firm was then changed to Sack-
ford & Taylor and he continued in the business for twenty years.

Cobb, b. in Princeton, Mass, Jan. 21, 1826; her grandfather,
Moses Gill, was at one time governor of Massachusetts, and was
so much esteemed by the people that when Gill was made a town
it was given his name. Her grandmother Gill was a daughter of
Rev. Thomas Prince, b. May, 1687, Harvard College, 1707, a son
of Samuel of Hull and his second wife, Mary, dau of Gov. Hinck-
ley. In 1840 Mr. and Mrs. Cobb left Princeton to reside in Chic-
opee, where Mrs. Taylor's married life was spent and where they
celebrated their golden wedding, Nov. 25, 1895. Mr. Taylor is
one of the most respected and influential citizens of the city and
was honored by being elected without opposition as first mayor of
the city in 1891. He is loyal in his allegiance to the Republican
party and has held the offices as selectman and assessor, also
served three years in the legislature and one term in the senate
at the opening of the Civil War. He has been justice of the
peace since 1845 and special justice of the Chicopee police court
until 1859. In 1863 Mr. Taylor engaged in the agricultural tool
business under the firm name of "Belcher & Taylor;" this
company continued for two years, when the " Belcher & Taylor

of the Chicopee Falls Savings bank, of the Board of Trade,
Young Men's Christian association, and Director of the Chicopee
National bank of Springfield, and Director in the J. Stevens Arm
and Tool co npany. He is a prominent, earnest and active mem-

since June 20, 1857, superintendent of the Sunday School from
1848 to 1887, is also a member of the Belcher lodge, Ancient

Gen. WILLIAM H. Nash8 (20812), b. in Gallipolis, Ohio,
June 22, 1834, his parents having removed from South Haclley in
1833; m. (1) Jan. 1, 1857, Sue S. Forsythe of Junior Furnace,
Ohio, who d. in Van Couver Barracks, Wash., Aug. 10, 1891 ;
m. (2) Mrs. Mary (Maxon) Wilson of Gallipolis, Feb. 22, 1892;
they reside in Columbus, Ohio. His education commenced early
in life at the Gallia Academy, famous in that part of the state
from that day to this ; his education was completed with two
years at Marietta College, Ohio. After leaving college he went
to Cincinnati and became a clerk in one of the large wholesale
and retail establishments in that city, where he remained until
June, 1856, a period of more than three years. It was here that
he received a thorough business education of a practical nature
which stood him in good stead and was of great advantage to him
in his subsequent career. In the fall of 1856 he entered business
in his native town, continuing for about four years, when he dis-
posed of the same.
On June 1, 1861, General Nash entered the Union army, being
assigned to duty in the department of West Virginia as military
telegraph operator. In this capacity he served at the headquarters
of Major Generals George B. McClellan and W. S. Rosecrans.
He continued in service until November, 1862, when he was ap-
pointed Captain and Commissary of Subsistence of Volunteers.
Shortly after his appointment he was ordered to report to Gen.
Rosecrans commanding the army of the Cumberland at Murfrees-
boro, Tenn. His service in the army of the Cumberland lasted
more than a year, until April, 1864. During that time he served
on the staffs of Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Crook ; he served
through the Tullahoma campaign and battle of Chickamauga. In
April, 1864, he was transferred to the military department of
West Virginia upon the request of Gen. Crook and was chief
commissary on his staff during the famous Hunter's Lynchburg
raid. He continued to serve as commissary of Volunteers until
Dec. 15, 1865, when he accepted a commission in the same de-
partment and with the same rank in the regular army, vacating
on the same day his appointment as a volunteer officer by his ac-
ceptance in the regular corps.
Since the Civil War, he has served in his official capacity on
the Rio Grande river of Texas ; then a brief service in Washing-
ton— 1868-9; then commissary at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1869, and
130 DESCENDANTS OF
part of 1870 ; then chief commissary of the district of New Mex-
ico, with station at Santa Fe, from May, 1870, to November,
1873 ; then to Louisville, Ky.; then to Cheyenne, Wyo., in 1876,
to September, 1880 ; then to Boston, Mass., until December,
1881 ; then to Washington, D. C, until December, 1884 ; then to
•New Orleans, La., until December, 1888; then to Fort Monroe,
Va., until December, 1889; then to Vancouver Barracks, Wash.,
until April, 1897 ; then to St. Louis, Mo , until April, 1898 ; then
to Washington city, where he was retired from active service be-
cause of age. Promotion at first, in his corps, was very slow, he
having served as captain from Nov. 17, 1865, to July 14, 1890,
when he was promoted to major. He received his commission as
lieutenant-colonel on June 10, 1896, and as colonel on Mar. 4,
1898. On April 21, 1-898, the president appointed Gen. Nash
commissary general of subsistence with rank of brigadier general,
United State's army. At his own request, he retired May 2, 1898.
Under the law governing the army, he would have been com-
pelled to go upon the retired list upon reaching the age of sixty-
four years; as this occurred June 22, 1898, he anticipated a few
weeks, believing it to be for the best interests of the service and
himself. After the retirement of Gen. Nash, he and his wife left
Washington city, moving to Columbus, Ohio, his native state.

Nash, in fact, a mere outline.) Gen. Nash d. in Columbus, Dec.

highly respected ; that once seen, his fine form was not easily
forgotten. He d. in Troy, N. Y., Feb. 2, 1881, and the following
is from the "Troy Times" of that date: " Thomas White, one
of our oldest and most respected citizens died at noon today at
his residence, Number 84 Fourth street. The deceased was
eighty-five years old. . . He came to this city at an early age,
for many years was engaged in the lumber business and was the
agent through whom all lumber for the Rensselaer and Saratoga
road was purchased. For several years he was president of the
Troy Orphan Asylum and at the time of his death was one of the
trustees. For a long period he was a director of the Troy City
Bank, and at the time of his demise, was one of the directors of
the Rensselaer and Saratoga railroad. Mr. White was a man of
unsullied character and unquestioned integrity through a busy
and useful life. He was formerly one of the most active and in-
fluential of our business men, but age and sickness some time
since impaired his powers and during recent years he has not
been prominently identified with local interests, but took great
pleasure in witnessing the progress of the city ; and felt no little
pride in the success and prosperity of his friends ; he was truly a
good man and citizen and among the older, especially, his death
will be very greatly lamented." Children :

Capt. LUCIAN A. Cook8 (21526), b. in Leominster, Mass.,
Aug. 6, 1838 ; was educated in his native town, attending the
Leominster High school. At the breaking out of the Civil War
in 1861, he was a member of the Leominster Light Infantry, and
with that organization was mustered into the service of the
United States, July 12, 1861. The company was designated as
Company A, 1 5th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers. He
was in all the actions in which that gallant regiment participated,
until his capture at the battle of Antietam. He was taken to
Libby prison, Richmond, Va., and after a few weeks was paroled
and carried to "Camp Parole," Annapolis, Md., and shortly after
returned home as a paroled prisoner. On account of his injuries
received at the time of his capture, a severe attack of fever and
ague, and general disability incident to severe campaigns and
prison life, he received an honorable discharge, Dec. 31, 1862.
During the year 1863, he resided a short time in Brookfield,
Conn., and after his return to Leominster, received notice that
JOHN WHITE. 189
he had been drafted to fill the quota of Brookneld. He, at once,
reported to the authorities in Connecticut, but was at once re-
jected. It being his wish to do such military duty as lay in his
power, he enlisted in a band organized by P. S. Gilmore for ser-
vice in the Gulf States, Nov. 23, 1863. This band was known as
the "First Brigade Band " and a part of the time was assigned to
the 81st Regiment, United States Infantry, Department of the
Gulf. By reason of failing health he was discharged at New Or-
leans, July 20, 1865.
July 9, 1868, he, with others organized Post 53, Grand Army
of the Republic and was elected its first commander. In the
spring of 1868, feeling that Leominster should be represented in
the State Militia, he with several other veterans of the late war,
in twenty-four hours recruited a company of sixty men, who were
shortly after mustered into the service of the state for a term of
three years as Company K, 10th Regiment, Massachusetts Vol-
unteer Militia. At the election of officers he was unanimously
chosen Captain. While this company was under his command,
he was one of the most earnest, faithful and eminently successful
company commanders in the state. During this time the Leomin-
ster Light Infantry, as an organization, was an honor to the state
militia and to the town of Leominster. This office he continued
to hold until his death, which occurred Mar. 13, 1873. He was
buried with the military honors due his rank, the funeral being
largely attended by the officers of the regiment. Capt. Cook was
twice married : m. (1) Oct. 5, 1865, Ellen H. Green of Ashby,

" This night a strong detachment went down to open a work on
Nook Hill in Dorchester still nearer to Boston. Some of the
men imprudently kindled a fire behind the hill previous to the
hour for breaking of ground. The enemy discovered the light of
the fire ; and there was, during the evening and night, a continual
roar of cannon and mortars from the castle and guns on Boston
Neck, south end of that town ; as well as from the Americans at
Roxbury, Cobble Hill and Leechmore's Point at Cambridge. The
second shot from the British at the old fortifications south end
of the town of Boston killed 4 Americans who were standing
around the fire before mentioned at Nook Hill ; one of whom was
Dr. Dow of Connecticut."
For Dr. Dow should here be read Dr. Enoch Dole of Lancas-
ter, surgeon of Colonel Ephraim Doolittle's regiment, as an epi-
taph in the old cemetery at Littleton tells :
"Here lies ye Body of Dr. Enoch Dole of Lancaster A.E. 33
Years 5 mo & 3 days, he unfortunately fell with 3 others ye 9th
of March 1776 by a cannon Ball from our cruel and unnatural
Foes ye British Troops while on his duty on Dorchester Point."

(Carter) Richardson, b. in Leominster, Jan. 1, 1816. Mr. Gates
said that when a lad his chief ambition was to get his liberty,
leave the farm, get behind four spanking horses and be seated in
the box of the stage-coach (that being the only means of public
travel in his youth). Instead of becoming a skilled reinsman, he
became a school-master, a deputy-sheriff, a farmer and manufac-
turer, but not all at the same time. When nineteen years of age,
238 DESCENDANTS OF
he went to Wayland, Mass., and attended a school kept by Rev.
Gardner Rice ; he was there ten weeks, when Marshall S. Rice
of Newton Center, Mass., came over and invited him to go to
Newton, where he said he had two boys who worked for their
board and tuition, and he offered Mr. Gates the same chance. If
there came a stormy Saturday, school was in session, and the
holiday then came on some pleasant week day, when the boys
would be able to do some work. He also attended Uncle Tom
Frye's Quaker school at Bolton. Mr. Gates taught school four
winters in Leominster and one in Lunenburg, Mass., receiving
eighteen dollars per month and his board ; he then went to Wor-
cester, Mass., as a clerk for Col. Ivers Phillips, who was a dep-
uty-sheriff under High-sheriff Willard. Mr. Gates acted as a clerk
from March to September, when he was appointed as a deputy.
He said the appointment frightened him when he thought of the
forty thousand dollars sureties he must furnish, and he told
Sheriff Willard it was no use to try to get bondsmen, but the
sheriff said, " You go to Leominster and get twenty-five of the
best men there on your bond," and he found them in one day's
time. He remained in Worcester two years and a half. When
his grandfather, John Divoll6 (22913), died, his mother went back
to the old homestead and wanted him to come home and take
his father's farm which she vacated, which he did, the farm later
being taken by his brother, Augustus, he buying a saw and grist
mill. Hearing of a man in Naugatuck, Conn., who wanted a mill
and water privilege to make buttons, he went to see him, with
the result that a room was fitted up for him in one of the mills,
and he began here the button industry. He remained a year and
a half, then Mr. Gates and Mr. Sydney Harris of Clinton made
buttons there ; later he manufactured buttons alone, and for a
brief time made bone pencil tips. He remained on this place for
fifteen years, until his mother's death, in 1862, when he went to
his grandfather's farm, and upon that place, which bears the
name " Whiting Gates farm," remained until he was seventy-
seven, when he gave up the larger responsibilities and built in
Leominster Center. Soon after, when Leominster Park was
created and an artificial lake made, a large part of the farm was

Mr. Whitcomb went to Worcester in 1846 and was em-
ployed in the machine-shop of S. C. Coombs & Co. for four years,
when his brother Carter purchased the Copying-press establish-
ment of George C. Taft. The business developed rapidly and the
firm was known as C. Whitcomb & Co. In addition to the
manufacture of copying-presses, the firm began the man-
ufacture of metal-working machine tools. This branch of the
business soon outstripped that of making copying-presses ; his
brother retired from the firm in 1871 and it has since been known
as the Whitcomb Manufacturing Co. In partnership with Mr.
Augustus Rice, Mr. Whitcomb succeeded to the business of
Timothy F. Taft in 1866. As a separate firm, the business of
making metal shears and presses was conducted until the retire-
ment of Mr. Rice in 1881 resulted in the union of the two con-
cerns owned by Mr. Whitcomb. He was one of the projectors
and founders of the Kabley Foundry Co., and has been an officer
of the company for many years. For fifty years, Mr. Whitcomb
was active in the development of Worcester's industries. Al-
though two destructive fires entailed heavy losses, his credit
remained unimpaired. He was interested neither in politics nor
secret societies and the greater part of his time outside of busi-
ness was passed at his home. He d. in Worcester, Mar. 28,

HENRY C. Tenney7 (22416), b. in Marlboro, N. H., Dec. 26,
1830. From an early age he manifested an unusual fondness for
books, and zealously applied himself to every means of obtaining
knowledge. He devoted his evenings to study, improving all the
facilities of his native town, then completed his preparation for
college at Westminster, Vt , under Professor L. F. Ward. His
close application to study permanently injured his eyesight ; and
with the cherished object of his ambition almost within his grasp,
he was forced to forego his plans for college and a professional
career. He m. Mar. 18, 1858, Julia C. Stebbins of Hinsdale, N.
H. For several years he was a successful teacher, holding suc-
cessively the position of principal of Mettowee Academy, Pawlet,
Vt., Peterboro Academy and the High School in Marlboro.
Leaving his native town, he visited the land of gold on the Pa-
cific coast, and finally settled, in 1862, in East Jaffrey, N. H.,
where for nearly six years he was clerk of the cotton factory
of A. Bascomb & Co.; he was held in the highest esteem by his
employers. In 1868, he settled in Orange, Mass., opening a gen-
eral store under the firm name of H. C. Tenney & Co., which
was gradually changed to a hardware, paint and oil house. He
was one of the founders of the Orange Savings and Orange Na-
tional Banks, and was an officer in each. His voice is often
heard in the business and literary circles of the town of his adop-
tion. He possesses in a marked degree the faculty of concentra-
tion, or thinking upon his feet, ever ready to answer with crushing
effect any and every attack upon him. As a man in all the va-
rious stations of life, he is ever the firm lover and champion of
right. Children :

BEZALEEL Baker5 (808e), b. in Westminster, Mass., Jan. 4,
1768. At fifteen years of age, the care of his father's farm and
brickyard devolved on him and two younger brothers, his father
being confined to the house by sickness for several years He
first went to Marlboro, in December, 1787, worked for his brother
Jonadab at shoemaking and other business during the winter, and
returned to Westminster in the spring ; went back and forth
occasionally until November 16, 1789, when he purchased a tract
of wild land which comprised the farm recently owned by Lyman
Underwood. He m. Sept. 17, 1793, Abigail, dau. of Dea. Nathan
and Rebecca (Haynes) Wood of Westminster, b. June 9, 1770.
Mr. Baker and his wife went to Marlboro the next day after their
marriage, attended the ordination of Rev. Halloway Fish, and
occupied their new house for the first time. Mr. Baker was
JOHN WHITE. 293
strictly a temperance man, when every one else thought it did
them good to drink ; yet his neighbors said that they never knew
him to drink spirits but once, and that was at a wolf-hunt,
where one was killed, and the bounty paid in rum, and, while the
rain fell in torrents, he drank with the others. But the influence
of his temperance habits has been very salutary on his family,
for no one of them has ever made excessive use of ardent spirits.
He built upon his farm, during his occupation of it, two houses,
four forty-feet barns, one hundred and eighty feet of wood
houses, tool houses, sheds and a cider mill, one set of barns and
sheds having been struck by lightning and consumed in August,
1829. He d. Oct. 1, 1849. His widow d. Apr. 10, 1862.
Dea. Nathan Wood was a descendant of William Wood, who
came to this country in 1638, and settled in Concord, Mass.
Married May 2, 1750, Rebecca, clau. of Abijah Haynes of Sud-
bury, Mass., b. Feb. 14, 1731. Mr. Wood removed to Westmin-
ster in 1756. He was active in opposing those measures of the
British government which led to the Revolution and the struggle
for independence ; was a member of the first congress, which
met in Cambridge, and encouraged resistance to the arbitrary acts
of the English crown. He d. June 19, 1777, and his fifteen chil-
dren followed his remains to the grave.

devoted his attention to farming. His good qualities of head and
heart were soon recognized by his fellow citizens, and he became
one of the leading men of the town. His sound judgement and
general intelligence fitted him for any position in the community;
he was frequently elected to fill the civil offices of the town, ser-
ving as selectman for some fifteen years. He was representative
in the legislature in the years 40-42. He did a large amount of
business in the settling of estates; his familiarity with the law fit-
ted him for this kind of business.
The crowning excellence of Deacon Baker's life is to be found
in his devotion to his Divine Master and in his noble Christian
character. He experienced religion in early life, and united with
the Congregational church, through the trying period of the early
history of the little church in Troy, he was one of few who re-
mained steadfast to the Congregational faith; and through his and
his co-laborer's efforts, under the divine blessing, the church
lived and prospered. Soon after he became a member of the
church, he was chosen a deacon, and as an officer in the church,
he was vigilant and faithful, watching over its members and lab-
oring to promote their spiritual welfare. After a long and useful
life he d. Sept. 26, 1878, calmly, and in full assurance of a glorious
immortality. Children.

Maj. JONATHAN Grout5 (825), b. in Lunenburg, Mass.,
Apr. 24, 1760; m. int. pub. (1) May 17, 1788 in Charlestown,
N. H., with Parthena, dau. of Peter and Sarah (Farns worth)
Page, b. in Charlestown, Dec. 6, 1769 and settled in what is now
called Snumshire in Charlestown. Maj. Grout, as he was famil-
iarly called, was an officer in the militia and also a justice of the
peace. He was a good citizen, with at once the independence of
his father, " the brave old commissary," with many of the idio-
syncrasies which appear to be somewhat inherent in the Grout
race and which often created no little amusement. After the de-
cease of his first wife, when his situation, and the condition of his
family were such, that he stood in need of another, the widows
and marriageable ladies of the time began to manifest some curi-
osity, as he was a man in prosperous circumstances, to ascertain
who might be the favored one, on whom his choice would fall.
And such became the interest of some in the subject, that they
even dared to approach him with the question, " Major Grout,
which of us do you intend to take ? " To which the good Major
good-naturedly replied, "Wait till Thanksgiving time, and I will
show you how I feel towards you." When Thanksgiving day
arrived, great amusement was created on learning that he had
sent to every widow in town, a pumpkin and pint of molasses
that they all might be furnished with pumpkin pies for that
occasion.
His choice, at length, after a suitable time, fell on Mrs. Mary
Prouty, widow of Samuel Trouty, Jr., [dau. of Elijah and Mary
(Stevens) King], and according to the usual custom of those
times, in order to introduce his wife to her new neighbors, he
soon gave a wedding party, to which as his house would not hold
308 DESCENDANTS OF
the whole town, he invited only those who lived between the two
brooks, or between the upper and lower mills. This did not
please some of his friends, outside of those limits, who received
no invitation, and who therefore made no little talk about it.
This coming to the ears of the Major, he said he would give an-
other party before long, and when he did he would give such a
party, as nobody could have any reason to find fault with. This
declaration he made good by inviting the whole town's poor ; and
one who was present at this gathering, describes it as one of the
happiest she ever attended. Major Grout went after them with
a four-horse team, the finest that he could obtain ; and the repast
that was set before them, was not only bountiful, but most in-
viting. Of course there was no fault to be found with his party
this time, and the persons who were dissatisfied with the first
one, not only forgave him for what they had regarded as his ne-
glect, but praised the goodness of heart, and heartily laughed at
the eccentricity, which prompted the happy turn he had made.
His second wife dying he m. Jan. 16, 1833, Lydia, dau. of

The following notice of Mr. Hamlin appeared in the Granite
State Journal, published at Claremont, soon after his decease on
the third of May, 1875 : " Ashbel Hamlin, Esq., died on the 3d
of May, at his home in Charlestown, at the venerable age of 77
years. Mr. Hamlin was not only well known in Charlestown,
but extensively, through his business relations, throughout Sul-
livan and Cheshire Counties. He was one of the selectmen in
Charlestown in 1838-39-40, and '41, and the representative of the
town in the Legislature in 1841-2. He was chosen one of the di-
rectors of the old 'Connecticut River State Bank,' and held the
same office in the Connecticut River National Bank up to the
time of his decease. He was also one of the directors of the
' Cheshire Mutual Fire Insurance Company.' Mr. Hamlin met
with an accident about 17 years ago, by being thrown from a
carriage, which resulted in a spinal affection, from which he suf-
fered so much that for several years previous to his decease he
was able to give but little attention to public affairs. During the
last three years of his life, he was in an almost helpless condition,
though he occasionally rode to the village, to attend to absolutely
necessary business." Mrs. Hamlin survives her husband.

SOPHIA Grout5 (828), b. in Charlestown, N. H., Feb. 6,
1765 ; m. Mar. 4, 1791, Enos, son of Capt. Phineas and Elizabeth
(Stevens) Stevens, b. in Rutland, Mass., Oct. 2, 1739. He came
with his father to No. 4, now Charlestown, in early life. When
ten years of age, he was taken prisoner by the Indians and car-
ried to Montreal, June 17, 1749. He was kindly treated and im-
mediately sent back, so that he arrived at home about the middle
of the September following. He retained to the close of his life
a vivid recollection of his captivity. The following is from his
JOHN WHITE. 313
son, late of Barnet : " My father was a lieutenant in 1756. I
had his journal of an expedition up West River and so on to Fort
Massachusetts. His diary was burned in the Vermont State
House. It seems from this that the above commission was con-
ferred upon him when only about sixteen years of age.
" He was elected one of the selectmen of Charlestown for the
years 1773-75-76.
" In the war of the Revolution he took the side of the British.
His father and brothers had been honored by commissions from
the Governors of New Hampshire and Massachusetts Bay, while
they were British provinces, and like many others, no doubt, he
thought that the powerful crown of Great Britain would soon
crush the infant American Republic. In his journal he writes :
"Charlestown, N. H., May 2nd, 1777. Set out for New York;
left my all, for the sake of my king and my country."
In New York he joined a volunteer company appointed to keep
guard on the coast, but it does not appear that he was ever en-
gaged in battle. He with six others, Sept. 30, 1782, received a
commission from his excellency the Commander in Chief of the
British forces, to go to Nova Scotia to take charge of the provis-
ions, arms and amunition sent by the Commander in Chief for
the use of refugees, going with them to settle in that country,
and divide the same among them.
He bought land and settled in Digby, Nova Scotia, where he
resided until 1775. After the war he applied to the British gov-
ernment for indemnity for "loyalty, losses and services," but it
is n6t probable that he was indemnified, for his property was not
confiscated. In his journal he writes, " Feb. 25th, 1785. Came
to Charlestown ; found all my friends well ; seven years and ten
months since I left this town." He went from Charlestown to
Barnet, Vt., and was present at a meeting of the proprietors,
Aug. 23d, 1785, and drew shares in the town as one of the pro-
prietors when the first division took place. Soon after he sold
his possessions in Nova Scotia and went to Barnet to reside,
where, having purchased the lands owned by his brother, and ob-
tained vendue titles to others, he became proprietor of the prin-
cipal part of the township with which his interests and history
became identified.
In the autumn of 1790, Dr. Jonathan Arnold of St. Johnsbury,
314 DESCENDANTS OF
Vt., being on a journey down the river stopped for a night with
Mr. Stevens, (then keeping bachelor hall at Barnet). In the
course of the evening the circumstances of their solitary condi-
tion becoming a subject of conversation, an expedition to Charles-
town was immediately planned to take effect on the morrow, the
object being to spy out the available daughters of the land. On
their arrival they called on Samuel Stevens, Esq., a brother of
Enos to whom they communicated the object of their coming.
A consultation was held, and an arrangement entered into to
issue invitations to Cynthia Hastings and Sophia Grout, daughters
respectively of Lemuel Hastings and Elijah Grout, requesting
their presence at tea, it being understood by those in the secret
that the strangers from Vermont were to accompany them home,
when each of the gentlemen before separating from his com-
panion for the night made known the special object of his visit to
Charlestown. It does not appear that Sophia Grout, who was well
acquainted with the Stevens family, was at all reluctant to accept
the offer that was made her. But the difficulty which she had to
surmount in connection with her family was not small ; for
Stevens, during the war of the Revolution, had espoused the
cause of the mother country, and the Grout family could not bear
that one of their number should become connected with a man
who had not been a tried and true patriot. At length when it
was found that her determination had become too strong to be
properly resisted, she was finally told that if she would marry an
old Tory she might, but that she should carry nothing from the
paternal mansion but herself and a cow. To this she agreed, and
on the 4th of March, 1791, the afflicted Grout family witnessed
the departure of Sophia with Stevens for their home in Vermont.

his farm in North Coventry with the respect and confidence of
the citizens of Boston. He d. in 1855; Mrs. Case then returned
to the Sawyer homestead in Lancaster, where she spent many
years. She spent the last years of her life with her brother, Mr.
John Sawyer, at Wellesley Hills, Mass., where she held a recep-
tion to her friends and relatives May 7, 1893, on her one hun-
dredth birthday ; and I had the pleasure of calling upon her in
January, 1894, when she told me of her grandparents and uncles
and aunts, repeating many little incidents in regard to them. Of
her brother, with whom she lived, she told me that, when eighteen
years old, she took him on horseback, then nearly a year old, and
carried him to her aunt's and kept him a week to wean him.
"Yes," said her brother, "and though I am now eighty-three, I
am only a boy to Sally, and she criticises me quite sharply some-
times."
Though so very aged, the morning I called, her niece, Miss
Augusta Sawyer, who cared for her, was busily engaged so that
she did not go at the usual time to assist her aunt in dressing.
When she entered the room, some half hour later, than usual, she
found her up dressing herself. While talking with me she sat in
her chair, and when relating anecdotes her eyes would sparkle
and it was very hard to realize that she had lived through more
than a century. She was for many years, and at the time of her
death, a member of the Congregational church of Lancaster.

about 1846. They then went to Worcester, Mass., from there to
South Carolina, then returned to Boston, where Mr. Sawyer es-
tablished the first firm in New England to deal in daguerreotype
findings, and later in photographic apparatus and material. He
moved to Wellesley Hills, Mass., and later retired from business
on account of ill health. Both Mr. Sawyer and his wife were
active workers in the cause of anti-slavery and numbered among
their personal friends most of the prominent Abolitionists, includ-
ing the late Frederick Douglass. At their home, gatherings of
liberators frequently took place, and to the movement they lent
generous financial support in its darkest days. Later, they iden-
tified themselves in an equally practical manner with woman's
suffrage work. Mr. Sawyer was a firm friend and supporter of
Theodore Parker. At Wellesley Hills he was an organizer of
the old Liberal Society, from which was developed the present
Unitarian Church. They had no children, but their niece, Au-
gusta A. Sawyer, has made her home with them, and there cared
for her aged aunt, Mrs. Case.
