'As wave follows wave o'er the ocean's dark breast.
So the races of men press on to their rest ;
They spring in life's morn in the freshness of bloom.
At eve are cut down and consigned to the tomb."

INTRODUCTION
In this volume are presented the genealogies of Bristol. The author
has sought to include every family that ever resided within the limits of
the town ; and while this has not been possible the result has been that
the following pages contain the records of 368 family names ; more than
1,500 families and over 12,000 individual names.
The statistics here presented have been gathered from every availa
ble source — from family records, printed genealogies, tombstones,
records of deeds and wills, church records, and records of clergymen offi
ciating at funerals and marriages ; a few from the meagre vital statistics
of the town, and many by extensive correspondence with widely scat
tered former residents, and by personal interviews. The difiiculties of
its compilation makes the value of the work more apparent.
In all cases the aim has been to give the line of descent from the
earliest known ancestor to the fi.rst settlement of the family in the terri
tory now known as Bristol, and from that time to give a full record to
the present, if the family continues to reside in town. In case of
removal the children and in many cases the grandchildren of natives
and residents are given after having left town. In but few cases has
more than this been attempted.
From the nature of the case these records must be imperfect and
errors will appear. They are not complete for the work of the genealo
gist is never finished ; changes are constantly occurring. In the appen
dix is given the records of births, marriages and deaths that occurred
while this volume was in press, in order to bring the volume up to date,
but even while the index was in preparation several deaths occurred of
which no record could be made.
This work is intended to be strictly genealogical and in no sense
biographical. All the genealogical data obtainable has been given in
each case, with very brief additional information. Only in the case of
a few distinguished public men has anything more than this been
given. EXPLANATIONS
The genealogical arrangement in the following pages is self-explana
tory. All members of each family are numbered consecutively to the
latest descendant. In the case of children who became heads of families,
a star is placed at the commencement of the line, which indicates that
the name with the same number (in parenthesis) occurs again where the
family is given in full.

VI HISTORY OF BRISTOL
Where no state is given. New Hampshire is to be understood ; excep
tions may occur in the case of large cities where in would seem super
fluous to name the state. A mark of interrogation (?) implies uncer
tainty. Figures after "ae." indicate the age in years, months and days,
thus, 50-10-20.
Abbreviations are those usually found in works of this character, as
"b." for "born"; "m." for "married"; "d " for "died"; "ae." for
"aged"; "dau." for "daughter"; "res." for "rtsides" or "resided";
"rem." for "removed."

Luther Atwood received only such education as the limited
schools of Bristol afforded. When quite a lad he commenced the
study of medicine with Dr. Moody C. Sawyer, but he cared more
to experiment with chemicals than study the effect of drugs.
In 1849, following an explosion of chemicals that aroused the
family at night. Dr. Sawyer suggested that he was not cut out

lO HISTORY OF BRISTOL
for a doctor, and young Atwood went to Boston and entered
upon the manufacture of chemicals for Philbrick & Trafton.
Two years later he became a member of the firm. About this
time Mr. Atwood took out a patent for a process of purifying
alcohol, and the U. S. Dispensary is authority for the statement
that the best alcohol used in the arts is that made by his pro
cess. He took out several patents for the manufacture of vari
ous products from coal tar, and for purifying kerosene oil. He
spent the winter of i854-'5 in France and Germany, and made a
long sojourn in Glasgow, Scotland, where he superintended the
erection of works for the manufacture of "coup" oil by one of
his patents. In 1857, he took charge of coal oil works at Brook
lyn, N. Y., and took out other patents for the distillation of coal
oil by the "pipe" process. In his latter years he was superin
tendent and chemist of petroleum refineries at Boston, Mass.,
and Maysville, Ky. The Scientific American said of him : "He
was a natural chemist ; and component parts, under his manipu
lation, seemed to assume their proper correlation, almost by
magic  The high standard of purity which has been
reached by the oils, known under the trade mark of 'kerosene,'
is owing in a very large degree to the original, scientific far
sightedness and laborious efforts'of Luther Atwood."

THE BARTLETT FAMILIES
From records in existence the Bartletts of Bristol can clearly
trace their genealogy from Adam Bartlett, who d. in England in
the year iioo. He was an Esquire to Brian, a Knight, and
landed in England with him, with William the Conqueror, and
seated himself in Ferring, Co. Sussex. Brian's name appears on

20 HISTORY OF BRISTOL
the "Battle Abbey Roll." Both received grants of land, Stop-
ham, in Sus.sex, being the principal grant. Brian, the Norman
Knight, assumed the name of Brian de Stopham.
In the 14th century, John Bartlett married a daughter and
heiress of the Stophams and came into possession of the whole
property, the male line of the Stophams having failed. The
Bartletts have lived on the estate since the Conquest, and
fought at the battles of Crecy in 1346, and at Poitiers in 1356,
and subscribed liberally towards the fund to defend England
against the attack of the Spanish armada in 1588. The records
in the stone church, built by the family in the 13th century, is
complete from John Bartlett, born early in 1300, to the present.
Sir Walter B. Bartlett, the present representative of the family, is
a member of the House of Commons. In 15 14, Richard Bartlett,
heir of the estate, died. He left several children, one of whom
was Edmund, who d. leaving, with other children two sons,
John and Richard, who came to America in ship Mary and
John, and settled in Newbury, Ma.ss., about 1634. The Bart
letts of Bristol are the descendants of
I. Richard, b. 1590, who came to America as above. He
d. May 25, 1647, leaving five children. One son
2. Richard, b. England, 1621, came to America with his
father. He was representative in the Colonial legislature of
1679, 1680, 1681, and 1684. He d. Newbury, Mass., 1698.
His wife, Abigail, d. Mar. i, 1687. His second son was
3. Richard, b. Feb. 21, 1649. He m. Nov. 18, 1673,
Hannah Emery of Newbury, Mass. He d. leaving ten children,
of whom the eighth was
4. Stephen, b. Apr. 21, 1691, in Newbury, m. Hannah
Webster of Salisbury, Mass. He left several children, of whom
the second was
5. Joseph, b. Apr. 18, 1720 ; m. Jane Colby, dau. of Icha
bod Colby, a physician in Salisbury, Mass. He left several
children of whom the oldest was
6. Levi, b. Apr. 25, 1745. Of his children one was
7. Ichabod Colby Bartlett, b. Amesbury, Mass., Mar. 29,
1779. His father died when he was a mere boy and he removed
with his mother to Boscawen. He commenced life as a clerk in
the store of Andrew Bowers, in Salisburj^ Mass., where he
remained till 1800, when he came to Bristol. He soon after com
menced trade in a very humble way, in a building that stood on
east side South Main street, where is now Frank W. Bingham's
harness shop. In 1802, he erected a wooden building in Central
square, ]ust in front of the present store in this square. Here his
business rapidly increased and about 1823 he erected the brick
part of the present store. Here he continued in trade till 18^8 ;
engaged m farniing and quite extensively in the cattle trade,
and accumulated a large property. ' ' Cato, " Dr. J. S. Eaton, in

Ichabod C. Bartlett

GENEALOGIES — BARTLETT 2 1
a letter to The Enterprise, Dec. 7, 1878, thus speaks of Mr.
Bartlett: "The name of Ichabod C. Bartlett was a tower of
honor and strength in the commercial world. His strict methods
of business taught the people providence and the importance of
paying their debts. Each fall Mr. Bartlett and his aids would
gather up a great herd of cattle for market, taken largely for
debt, and woe to the luckless debtor who did not call at the cap
tain's office and settle. He was a gentleman of the old school
in dress and manners, just but tenacious. When the question of
the color of paint for the pews of the new church was discussed,
Mr. Bartlett said ' white, ' the majority said ' green, ' so all the
pews were painted green except Mr. Bartlett's which was painted
white, which color was later approved by all. Excommunicated
from the church for selling rum, he later became a strong tem
perance man and reunited with the church." He was suc
ceeded in business by his sons. He represented Bridgewater
three years in the legislature and served as town clerk, and
served Bridgewater and Bristol as treasurer. Nov. 11, 1801, he
m. Anna S., dau. of Col. Peter Sleeper. (See.) She d. in

THE BERRY FAMILIES
I. Hon. Nathaniel Springer Berry was b. in Bath, Me.,
Sept. I, 1796. His father was Abner, son of Capt. John, who
served in the Revolutionary war ; one of three brothers who
came from Scotland and settled in Bath, Me. His mother was
Betsey, dau. of Capt. Nathaniel Springer, who commanded a
company of artillery in the Revolutionary war and was killed in
action. His father was a ship builder at Bath, Me., and was
killed by the careening of a vessel on which he was at work,
when Nathaniel was about six years of age. Nathaniel was one
of four children. Mrs. Berry m. (2) in 1808, Benjamin Morse,
a ship joiner, who went to Bath, Me., from Lisbon, N. H., and
they removed to Lisbon, in March, 1810, where Nathaniel
remained a few months and then went to Bath, N. H., and
became an apprentice of a Mr. Morrison to learn the saddle and
harness maker's trade. This situation soon failed him and he
became the apprentice of Eben Carlton, to learn the tanner's
trade. He was now 16 years of age, and he bound himself to
work during his minority for $40 a year and his board. He
was to find his own clothes, but to have six months of schooling
each year during this time. This contract was carried out by
both parties. He worked as a journeyman two years after learn
ing his trade, and in March, 1818, when 22 years of age, he
came to Bristol and worked one year for Robert Brown for $200
and then worked at his trade one year at Littleton. In 1820. he
bought the tannery on Central St., Bristol, for $800, paying $300
down and giving his note for the remainder. His purchase
included not only the tan yard but a large tract of land embrac
ing nearly the whole of Spring street, and including the resi
dence recently occupied by Clarence N. Merrill and removed
by him to make way for a new one. In this residence he
commenced to keep house, his sister, later Mrs. Teresha Ladd,
being his housekeeper. Jan. 26, 1821, he m. Ruth, dau. James
and Ruth Smith, b. Bath, Jan. i, 1800. In March, 1823, both
Mr. Berry and his wife professed religion and in September fol
lowing united with the Methodist church in full membership.
During all his long life he was a liberal supporter and active
worker in the church of his choice, and noted for his devoted
piety and humble spirit. He was a delegate to the Methodist
General Conference in 1872.
Mr. Berry continued business at his tannery in Bristol till

GENEALOGIES — BERRY 37
1836, when he sold to Warren White and removed to Hebron in
1840. (See Manufacturing Industries.) At Hebron he con
tinued in the tanning business with his son and was twice
burned out. The last fire occurred in 1857, and he did not
rebuild, or engage in active business thereafter.
Politically Mr. Berry was highly honored. He represented
Bristol in the legislature of 1828, 1833, 1834, and 1837, and
Hebron in 1854. He was elected senator from the i ith district in
1835 and 1836. He was a delegate to the Democratic National
convention at Baltimore in 1840, which nominated Martin Van
Buren for president. He was appointed associate justice for the
court of common pleas in 1841, and served nine years. He
served five years as judge of probate for Grafton county, ending
June 5, 1861, when he was inaugurated governor. He served
as lieutenant, captain, and lieutenant-colonel of the old 34th
regiment of militia. He was for 23 years justice of the peace
and quorum in New Hampshire, and five years in Massachusetts.
He acted with the Democratic party till the convention at
Baltimore, when the action of the convention on the subject of
slavery caused him to break his party ties, and he became one
of the organizers of the Freesoil party. At the first state con
vention of this party, in October, 1845, Mr. Berry was nominated
for governor. The Liberty party also nominated him, and at
the election in March following, he received enough votes to
prevent a choice by the people, and he was nominated at the
four succeeding conventions of his party. At the Republi
can convention in January, 1861, he was nominated for gov
ernor, and in March was elected by a majority of 3,000. He
was re-elected in March, 1862. During his term of office as
governor, he enlisted, armed, clothed and equipped 15 regi
ments of troops, and issued over 700 commissions. In the
spring of 1862, Gov. Berry was one of 22 Northern governors
who held a consultation at Altoona, on the state of the Union.
At this conference an address was prepared to the president and
taken to Washington, and Gov. Berry was selected to present it,
which he did in a characteristic way, asking if they, as gov
ernors, were doing all that they could do to further the Union
cause. He was noted for the same scrupulous honesty in public
affairs as in his private business. When the state voted $1,000,-
000 for war expenses, he was urged by influential men to place
the bonds with them at a discount of five per cent. This he
refused to do, and, finally, with the aid of John E- Lyon, he
sold the whole at par, thereby saving a large sum and preserving
the credit of the state. In an address before the state Prohibi
tion convention, June 19, 1888, he stated he had never asked a
man to vote for him, nor written a letter to secure the influence
of any man in his behalf.

THE CARLETON FAMILY
I. Ebenezer Carleton, son of Eleazer, was b. Lynde-
borough, Apr. 2, 1754. His descendants claim that he was
Gen. Washington's purveyor, and this claim appears to be well
taken. By the Revolutionary War Rolls it appears that he first
enlisted Aug. r, 1775, in Capt. Benjamin Mann's company. Col.
James Reed's regiment. He was in Col. Scammel's regiment
from 1777 to 1781, and his company was selected by Gen.
Washington as his body guard, Jan. i, 1779, and was known as
"Washington's Life Guard." That Washington should select
one of this company for his purveyor was but natural. He was
discharged for disability occasioned by being thrown from his
horse. At his discharge Gen. Washington presented him with
a pair of pistols and Mrs. Washington with a gold watch, as
tokens of regard. Ebenezer Carleton m., June 3, 1784, Rebecca

tol in 1820,. and served as clerk in the store of Ichabod C. Bart
lett three years. His compensation the first year was $30 and
board ; the second year, $140. This was thought at that time to
be great pay. In May, 1823, Mr. Cavis associated himself with
Philip Webster, and they opened a general store, under the firm
name of Webster & Cavis, where is now White's block, with a
capital of $500. For board they paid $1.25 each per week. Mr.
Cavis used to drive his own team to Boston for goods. Once,
on his return, his horse ran away and scattered his goods along
Boscawen street. He regained his horse and then gathered up
his goods. Mr. Cavis spent his long life in the mercantile busi
ness and secured a competence. (See Mercantile Industries.)
He was closely identified with the material prosperity of the
town ; he was the first in town to discontinue the sale of spiritu
ous liquors, and he became an active worker in the temperance
cause. He was above reproach in all the relations of life and
honored in the community. . He was through life a liberal sup
porter of the Congregational church, but did not become a mem
ber till 71 years of age. In politics he was a Democrat. He
served three years as town clerk and seven years as town treas
urer; and was postmaster 1830 to 1841. • He erected the resi

taught the first school for colored children in town of Waverly, Pike Co.,
Ohio, in a log house. After having taught two weeks, a mob destroyed
her schoolhouse by fire. ' At the end of two weeks more she had obtained
another log house and again her school was in operation, and the term of
three months was finished, although she was in frequent receipt of
threatening letters, some of which threatened her with a coat of tar and
feathers if she did not desist from teaching the blacks. Aug. 29, 1844,
she married Rev. Seth T. Wolcott of the Theological School»at Oberlin.
Having completed his labors there, he was sent as a missionary to
Jamaica, West Indies, by the American Board of Foreign Missions.
They left New York in a sailing vessel in Nov., 1846. On the passage
the vessel was wrecked and after drifting one week, reached Charles
town, S. C, where they remained eight weeks, while the vessel was
undergoing repairs. They arrived in Jamaica in Feb., 1847, ^-^d were
sent to Union Station Hermitage, in. the mountains. Mr. Wolcott
preached half the time there and half the time at an out-station, Mrs. Wol
cott conducting services at home when her husband was away. In 1855,
they left Hermitage, and went to Richmond, Jamaica, W. I., to a sugar
estate of 1,000 acres, and formed an Industrial school to teach children
to become useful men and women. Both sexes were admitted to the day
and boarding school, the girls being taught sewing and housework, and
the boys working on the estate when not in school. A church was also
organized at Richmond at this time. The school was continued till 1869,
and during its continuance 3,000 pupils attended. After closing the school
they continued to do what they could for the good of the colored people
until the death of Mr. Wolcott, which occurred in Dec, 1873. Mrs. Wol
cott was postmaster ten years at Richmond, where she was still living in
the summer of 1903, vigorous at 88 years of age. Children :

THE CRAWFORD FAMILIES
I. The Crawfords are of Scottish descent. The name of
Thomas Crawford appears in Hampstead as early as Jan. i,
1743, when it was attached to a petition to "His Majesties
CouncU and House of Representatives." In a muster roU of
Capt. Abraham Parry's company, raised for the Crown Point
expedition in 1756, is found the name of Thomas Crawford, of
Hampstead. In 1764, his name appears as one of the signers of
an agreement "to Settle the Long and unhappy Dispute that
has Subsisted under the said freeholders of Hampstead that Set
tled under the HaverhiU and Amesbury Titles ; and the Propri
etors of Kingston or Clamers under them." This is evidently

GENEALOGIES — CRAWFORD 1 15
the " Thomas Crawford, of Hampstead," who settled in what is
mow Bridgewater, in 1768. His son,
2. Thomas Crawford, later Colonel, had preceded him and
was the first settler within the present limits of that town.
June 21, 1766, when only nineteen years of age, he purchased
400 acres of land in Bridgewater, and soon after settled on Lot
g, First Division, now the farm of Sherman S. Fletcher. His log
cabin stood a few rods west of the buildings now standing. One
hundred years ago, and a little later, the Crawfords of Bridge-
water were very numerous. Ezra Crawford, Capt. Jonathan
Crawford, Robert Crawford, and John Crawford had large fami
lies, but the name disappeared from the town records many
years ago. Col. Thomas Crawford had a family, but the most
persistent efforts, continued through several years, have failed
to discover more than fragments of a genealogy. It ap
pears from the town records that "Thomas Crawford, Jr.,
married, Nov. 21, 1811, Mrs. Polly Peaslee." This was prob
ably a son of Col. Crawford. Thomas Crawford, Jr., had at
least two children : Jane, b. Jan. 5, 1812, and WiUiam, b. June
20, 1813. Tradition says that the Crawfords of Bridgewater
settled Crawfordville, Ind.; but all efforts to obtain information
from Crawfords now living there have been fruitless.
Col. Thomas Crawford, as appears from dates given at the
time of his enlistment in the continental army, was b. about
i74g, probably in Hampstead. He enlisted from New Chester,
July II, 1775, and served as sergeant in Capt. Osgood's com
pany of Rangers in the Northern army, and was discharged in
December, following. In June, 1776, he was member of the
committee of safety of New Chester, and signed a petition to
the "Colony Committee" for arms and ammunition for local
defense. In the Bennington campaign he served as sergeant
major in Col. David Hobart's regiment. After the war he is
said to have commanded the regiment of local militia. He
served as moderator of the annual town meeting in New Ches
ter two years; as selectman of New Chester, 11 years, and
subsequently of Bridgewater, 15 years. He served 21 years as
town clerk of Bridgewater, and four years as treasurer. He
represented his district or town (See Political History) m the
legislature 13 times, first in 1787, and last in 1806. In i7gi,
he was given a seat contested by "Mr. Shattuck." He rep
resented his district in the convention that convened at Exeter,
Feb. 13, 1788, to ratify the constitution of the United States ;
andin the convention that convened at Concord, Sept. 7, 1791.
He served as justice of the peace many years. He was one of
the leaders of the house of representatives ; was at the head of
some of the most important committees, and frequently served
on special committees. He was evidently one of the pro
gressive men of his day, and his vote is recorded as in favor

1 16 HISTORY OF BRISTOL
of such measures as the establishment of post-routes and
liberal pay for the post-riders. He did not hesitate to pro
test against allowing the president of the state to fill the
office of district judge of the F'ederal court. He voted against
lotteries, and against a grant of land to Rev. Jeremy Belknap as
compensation for writing the History of New Hampshire, and
against allowing each member of the House a copy of the
history when printed.
Col. Crawford was largely influential in securing the incor
poration of the town of Bridgewater, and he was designated to
call the first town meeting. In manner. Col. Crawford was a
rough diamond even for his day. Tradition says that on one
occasion he sold 40 acres of land to procure means to attend the
general court. He made his trips to the sessions of the legisla
ture on horseback, with food for himself in his saddle-bags, and
for his horse in a bundle behind him.

I . The earliest known ancestor of the Alexandria Craw
fords was William Crawford, who came to America in company
with his father-in-law, Robert Graham. Tradition saj'S that his
son, Robert, then two years old, came with them. They settled
in Chester. This son was
2. Captain Robert Crawford, who was also a resident of
Sandown. July 13, 1780, he gave his son, William, a deed of
276 acres of land in what is now the east part of Hebron and
west part of Plymouth. Robert m. ( i ) Joanna Sanborn, (2) Jane

3. William, b. Mar. i, i75g. He settled on the land
above mentioned in 1782, and about i7g8 exchanged this land
with Dea. Zebulon Ferrin for land in Alexandria. In going to
his new possessions he moved his goods across the lake in boats,
because there were no roads between these two points. He m.,

legislature from Alexandria in 1854 and 1856. In Bristol
he served two years as selectman, and three years as super
intending school committee. He was two years treasurer of
the county and served six years as county commissioner. He

New Hampshire and Maine, and for ten years held the position

THE CROSS FAMILY
The Crosses of Bristol trace their ancestry to Charlenge,
now Charlinch, Somersetshire, England. The name appears in
the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror, also in the wars
of the Crusades. Sir Robert Cross, of Charlenge, was knighted
by Queen Elizabeth, in 1602, for heroism, as admiral, against
the Spanish Armada and at Cadiz. He died without issue.
His coat of arms was brought to this country by Gen. Ralph
Cross, of Revolutionary fame. From it, it may be seen that the
family sprang from Norman stock and belonged to the landed
gentry of England. Closely related to Sir Robert were Robert
and John, who, in 1637, sailed from Ipswich, Eng., to Ipswich,
Mass. Robert settled in Newburyport, Mass. John settled in
Methuen, Mass., where eight generations have lived in a house
still standing. The latter brother became the founder of the
line, as follows :

of 10 children. At the age of 17 he became manager of the
farm and main support of the large family, in which there were
several invalids and incapacitated persons, but by rigid econ
omy and untiring industry, he carried the load for many years
with only a few dollars' aid from the town when an unfortunate
brother necessarily became an inmate of an asylum. This slight
assistance he early resolved to make good to the town which he
did many fold by endowing a free bed in Hitchcock hospital at
Hanover for the use of the poor and unfortunate of the town.
His substantial aid to several members of the family less fortu
nate than himself continued through his entire life and through
his wise forethought and generous provision, succeeding gener
ations are enjoying his munificence. The worthy poor and un
fortunate ever found in him a generous and unostentatious friend.
Mr. Dodge's school advantages were, necessarily, very
limited, but having a great fondness for reading and a very
retentive memory, he became well-informed and an entertaining
conversationalist on almost any subject. Being an independent
thinker and naturally skeptical, he investigated every subject of
importance to his own satisfaction and then was ready to give
reasons for his conclusions. As a strong Democrat, his faith
was based upon conclusions after deep study of the political
history of our country and formation of the government. Though
his family were of the " old school " Baptist faith, Mr. Dodge's
religious views were very broad and liberal and he affiliated
with the Universalists. In social, as well as business life, his
high moral character and strict integrity was never questioned.
His word was as good as his bond. It was his firm belief that
every man should endeavor to make the world better for having
lived in it, and, unquestionably, his efforts in that direction
were successful.
When about 32 years of age, Mr. Dodge became interested
in a country store in Hanover and continued the business with
different partners till about 1865, when he moved to Enfield and
was employed by A. Conant, as assistant manager of Shaker
Mills, manufacturing hosiery and flannels. When Mr. Conant
retired, two years later, Mr. Dodge formed a partnership with
D. L. Davis and Samuel WiUiams, the firm running the miUs
till 1873, when Mr. WiUiams retired, and Dodge, Davis & Co.
succeeded, Henry C. Whipple becoming a member. This firm
continued to run the mUls tiU 1885, when the machinery and
business were moved to Bristol. CHILDREN

THE DOLLOFF FAMILIES
I . The DoUoffs are supposed to be of Russian stock, as the
name indicates. Abraham Dolloff, who settled in Bristol, was
b. Aug. 27, 1768, in Rye as is supposed. He was the son of
Nicholas and Sally (Clough) Dolloff. His father d. when he
was about ten months old, and he was given a home by Abram
Hook, Esq., a wealthy farmer in Kingston, who is said to
have overworked and abused him. When 16 years of age an
uncle called to "see him on his way from Portsmouth to his home
in Andover, and Abraham took the opportunity to accompany
him home. Here he met Rachel Locke, of Sandown, who was
b. in Rye, Oct. 15, 1772, and they were married Nov. 28, i7g3.
She was the dau. of Levi. A brother, Benjamin, had already
made his home in Bridgewater. Abraham and his bride settled
in the Locke neighborhood. He was a carpenter as well as farmer
and built the house that was afterward the home of Benjamin
Locke. The first child of Abraham and the first of Benjamin
were b. in the same room, became man and wife, and both d. in
the same room though in another home, at the close of a long
life. After the birth of his first child, Abraham moved to
near the Prescott farm in Bridgewater, where he remained about
16 years and then returned to the Locke neighborhood, where
he built, on the Dolloff farm, the large two-story farmhouse still
standing, the best set of buildings in town when completed.
The material for this building he cut on the farm, drew the logs
to the saw-mUl at Profile Falls, had them sawed into lumber,
and then drew it back. On this farm he passed the remainder
of his Ufe and here d. May 15, 1855, after nearly 62 years of
wedded life, ae. 86-8-18; she d. May 11, i860, ae. 87-6-26.
He was a man of strong and unique personality. When nearly
70 years of age, he discarded the use of cider and united with
the Methodist church, and at 80 discarded tobacco.

THE EMMONS FAMILIES
I. Lieut. Benjamin Emmons, son of Samuel and Maria
(Norton) Emmons, was b. Feb. 29, 1743. He was the first
permanent settler withi-n the limits of Bristol. In the spring of
1766, he came to New Chester from Chester, and commenced a
clearing on what is still the Emmons farm, on the river about
three miles from the village. Apr. 6, 1769, he m. Elizabeth,
dau. of Abner Fellows, of Sandown, b. Sept. 25, 1746. (See.)
She d. May 19, 1783, ae. 36-7-24 (Fellows record says d. May

II, 1827. He d. Dec. 30, 1835, ae. g2-io-i.
Benjamin Emmons was a prominent man in his day. He
was a Revolutionary soldier from New Chester, and after the
war was active in the militia. When 79 years of age he united
with the Methodist church, but all his children, born many
years before this event, were scrupulously baptized in infancy
and a record duly made in the family Bible. About 1788, Mr.
Emmons erected the two-story frame house that now stands on
this farm — the oldest house in town. Here he kept tavern for
some years, and here his descendants have lived for three gener
ations, his great-grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. John M. V.
Dalton, being the present occupants. (See Chapter on First
Settlements in New Chester. )

THE FULLER FAMILIES
I . Chase Fuller was a settler in that part of New Chester,
now Bristol, as early as August, 1771. At that time he had a
cabin just east of the Heath burying-ground, though probably
as a young man clearing the land for a home. His wife's name
was Lora. In this humble home Chase Fuller and his wife were
living with one child when the Revolutionary war commenced.
In July, 1776, he first entered the army, leaving his wife and
child in the wilderness. Soon after, his wife started on horse
back for her old home in Sandown, carrying her two-year-old
child in her arms. On reaching Pembroke she gave birth to her
second child. The length of his first enlistment is not known,
but the family were back to their home here in Feb., 1778, at
which time he again enlisted for the expedition against Canada.
After the war he resided at what is now known as Moore's
Mills, his cabin being nearly opposite the site of the saw-mill.

THE HEATH FAMILIES
I . The Heaths of Bristol are the descendants of William
I., who came from England with his wife, Mary, and five chil
dren, on frigate Lyon, landing Sept. 16, 1632. All his children
were b. in London. They settled in Roxbury, Mass. He was
a member of the first assembly of deputies. May 14, 1634, and
for some years subsequently. He d. May 29, 1652 ; his wife,
Mary, d. Dec. 16, 1659. One of his children was
2. Peleg, who m. Susanna. He res. in Roxbury; was
freeman in 1652, and d. of wounds Nov. 18, 1671. He had nine
children, of whom the sixth was
3. William, b. Jan. 30, 1664. He m. Hannah Weld, Nov.
II, 1685 ; settled in Roxbury, and d. Nov. 3, 1738, ae. 74-9-3.
He had nine children, of whom the seventh was
4. Samuel, b. Dec. 27, 1701. He was a well-to-do farmer
in Plaistow. He was probably living with his son, Samuel, in
that part of Bridgewater now Bristol, in 1794, as this year it
was voted to allow Samuel Heath, Jr., "ten shillings for his
father on account of his carrying Molly Clark out of town."
He was the father of at least five

9. Daniel. He was evidently in that part of New Chester now Bris
tol as early as 1779, as his name appears on the tax-list of that year. In
1785, he was taxed for three acres of tillage land, twelve acres of mowing
and twelve of pasturage. The amount of land under cultivation was
more than that of any other resident of New Chester, except Cutting
Favor and Benjamin Emmons, who had about the same. At the first
meeting of the new town of Bridgewater (1788), he served as modera
tor and was then elected as constable for the collection of taxes. He
served as moderator at meetings held Nov. 3 and Dec. 15 of the same

year. At a meeting held Apr. 2, 1789, Samuel Worthen was chosen a
collector "to complete the collection of taxes for 1788, committed to
Daniel Heath, deceased." By this it would seem that Daniel Heath died
between Dec. 15, 1788, and Apr. 2, 1789. He probably d. after the annual
meeting in March or the election of a successor would have taken place
at that time. He d. "while on a business trip to Coos county." His
farm was that now owned by Hiram T. Heath, three miles east of
Central square. The buildings were on the opposite side of the road
from the present farmhouse. That he had a family is apparent. He
had among his children
a. Daniel. He enlisted in the Revolutionary army from New
Chester in June, 1780, when his age was given as 16 years. The
marriage of Daniel Heath, Jr., and Joanna IngaUs was recorded as
solemnized by Elder Ward, Mar. 8, 1785. A Daniel Heath m.
Abigail Ingalls, dau. of Jonathan (See), Nov. 12, 1795, and a Daniel
Heath m. Judith George, of Sandwich, June i, 1797. These three
may be identical, but there is nothing to establish the fact.
(6) Samuel Heath, b. 1754, was a Revolutionary soldier
from Plaistow. He was a resident of Plymouth i77g to 1785,
when he removed to Bristol. He m., Apr. 11, 1782, Sarah
Webster, of Plymouth. Mrs. Lewis Heath, a daughter-in-law,
said he bought the Heath farm, in 1794, of his brother, Stephen.
If so, it would seem that Stephen succeeded Daniel in the
ownership. Samuel was a teamster as well as farmer and made
trips to Boston for freight, occupying two weeks for each trip.

THE HUSE FAMILIES
Carr Huse was b. in England in 1740. He emigrated to Amer
ica, landing in Newburyport, Mass., in 1764. The summer of
1767 and the two succeeding summers, he spent in New Chester
clearing land for a farm. His camp was near the Pemigewasset
river in what is now the village of Hill. Jonas Minot, who
visited New Chester in July, 1 771, for the Masonian proprietors,
reported that at that time Carr Huse and family had been living
in a house in the town one year and four months. (See page
40, Vol. I.) By this it seems he made the second permanent
settlement in the town, and at as early a date as the spring of
1770. His cabin stood not far from the cemetery east of the
railroad. In 1790, he built a frame house just back of the
buildings now occupied by George M. Huse, and in 1824, the
present buildings.
Neither Carr Huse nor any of his descendants ever resided
within the limits of Bristol but he was so long and so intimately
identified with the old town of New Chester, of which the terri
tory of Bristol was a part, that this history would be incomplete
without a sketch of this worthy man.
At the first town meeting in New Chester, in 1773, Carr
Huse was elected selectman, and he filled this office 18 years;
at the second annual town meeting he was elected clerk and
served 33 years. In his old age, realizing the importance of a
record of the first meeting, he recorded a statement of what was
then done, the clerk of that meeting, Joshua Tolford, having
failed to make a record. During the Revolutionary war, he was
a member of the town committee of safety, and he served as ser
geant of a company that marched from Plymouth in September,
1777, to the relief of the northern army under Gen. Gates. He
was for many years a justice of the peace ; also served as cor
oner. He was largely influential in the organization of the First
Congregational church of Hill, in 1815, and was elected one of
its first deacons. He was a broad-minded, progressive man and
his influence is still felt, though he long since ceased to have
a voice in the affairs of his town.
Carr Huse m. (i ) Sarah Wells, presumed to be the daughter
of Lieut. Thomas WeUs, four of whose sons were among the
earliest settlers in New Chester. She d. July 8, 1773, ae. 33-
3-24. He m. (2) in 1775, Joanna Buswell, who d. June 12,
1823, ae. 77. He d. Apr. 10, 1833, ae. 92-9-. He had five

a son of George M. Huse, and a great-great-grandson of the
original settler on this estate.

THE KIDDER FAMILIES
I. The Kidders are of ancient British, Danish, and Saxon
stock. The name as first written was Kyddwr ; in 1500, it was
written Kydder. James Kidder, b. East Grinstead, Sussex,
England, in 1626, was the ancestor of the Kidders of New Eng
land. He was in Cambridge, Mass., as early as 1650.
2. John Kidder, a descendant of James, was b. in Bedford,
Mass., in 1736. He m. Jenny Lynn, b. Bedford, Aug. 2, 1740
(1737), and came to Bristol in i76g, for the purpose of tending
the rist-mill just erected for the proprietors of the township by
Maj. John Tolford, where the Train-Smith Co. pulp-mill now
stands. He moved into a log house at the corner of Central
square and Spring street, where now stands Emerson's block.
After tending this mill three years he bought the farm now
owned by Fred Kidder, and moved his family into a log house
he erected on the east side of the highway, a little distance above
the schoolhouse near Solon DoUoff's. In time, a frame house
succeeded the log structure, but both have succumbed to the
ravages of time, and the site is now marked only by the par
tially filled cellar and the lilac and rose bushes that stand sen
tries over the spot. Here he cleared the land that gave him and
several succeeding generations a home. He was a Revolution
ary soldier. (See.) At one time when out of provisions he
walked to Haverhill corner, bought a bushel of corn, had it
ground at Bristol, and got back home on the evening of the
second day. The family were entirely out of food when he
reached home. He d. in Bristol, Sept. 7 (3), 1828, ae. 92.

GENEALOGIES — LEWIS 285
Alexandria, say that he married this couple Dec. 10, 1795.)
He was the first merchant in what is now Bristol village, open
ing a store soon after he came here in a building that stood
where is now Fowler's block. He did a large business for those
times, and all his goods, including a liberal supply of West
India rum, was brought from Boston by teams. In 1795, he
built at the corner of Central square and Spring street a two-
story frame house which was remodeled in i87g by George G.
Brown into the present four-story structure and used for a hotel.
Col. Lewis owned Lot No. 61, First Division, containing the
grist-mill and saw-miU, and all the privileges on the falls of
the river. He converted the mills named into a tannery, and
erected a saw-miU and a grist-mUl on the south side of the river.
The depression of business previous to the War of 1812 caused
his failure. He was owing largely through the community,
and the distress caused by his failure was widespread. Suits
were bought for as small sums as one dollar, after the custom of
those days, and the sheriff levied on all the household goods.
In the Fisk block, at the corner of Central square and Summer
street, lived friends who watched for the coming to town of the
sheriff, and notified the family of his arrival, when some of the
cooking utensils were hid, and in this way such articles were
saved from his relentless grasp. The "Lewis Letter" printed
in Connecticut, says Col. Lewis was imprisoned for debts he
could not pay. Col. Lewis was a prominent man in this section
in the days of his prosperity. He served four years as select
man, represented Bridgewater nine times in the general court,
and was the commanding officer in the 34th Regt., state militia.
He removed to Alabama, being last taxed here in 1815. He d.
in Gainesville, Ala., Oct. 7, 1836, ae. 66-5-20. His widow d.
same place, Jan. 10, 1853, ae. 76-5-ig.

(7) Benjamin Locke, b. Apr. 10, 1770, came to Bristol in
1785, when he was 15 years of age, and made his home with his
uncle, Thomas Locke. Three years later, he shouldered a pack
of provisions, and with ax in hand penetrated the wilderness
seven miles on Bridgewater hill, built a hut and cleared land
for a home. After spending a year or two in this lonely retreat,
during which time he was constantly annoyed by bears and
other wild animals, he sold, and located in the neighborhood
that was destined to take his name. He m. (i) Mar. 17, 1796,
Hannah, dau. Cutting Favor (See), b. Aug. 6, 1776. They
commenced life in a log cabin of two rooms near where the
schoolhouse now stands. Later, he erected a more commodious
house near where Stephen Staples lately resided, and here nearly
all of his children were born. May 27, 1822, during the absence
of the family, this home, with all the comforts and conveniences
of the day, was destroyed by fire. With characteristic energy,
he erected another house, though comparatively poor, for the
shelter of his family. Mr. Locke was a man of marked individ
uality, a leader in thought and influence in the town. He and
his wives were prominent Methodists, and their home was always
open to the itinerant preacher. He was a man of great piety
and great .strength of lungs, and at a meeting in the school-
house when thirteen were converted his shouts were heard
more than a mile distant. His wife, Hannah, d. Nov. 15, 1825,

When he reached that place he had but five dollars in his pocket. He
obtained a position as foreman of a gang of graders for the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad. His ability marked him for promotion and
he was soon made brakeman, then conductor of a freight train, then of a
passenger train. Soon after, he became paymaster, then assistant gen
eral manager, and finally, in 1865, general manager. Under his manage
ment the road increased in mileage till it embraced 6,000 miles, and had
in its employ over 30,000 men. He was also largely interested in the

THE SANBORN FAMILIES
The Sanborns of America are the descendants of the Sam-
bornes or Sambournes of England. These names appear on the
records of England from the middle of the 12th century. The
ancestor of a large part at least of the Sanborns of New Eng
land was John Samborne, b. in England, a few years previous
to 1600. He m. a dau. of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, and d. in
England in 1632, leaving three sons : John, b. 1620 ; William, b.
1622 ; Stephen, b. 1624. Rev. Stephen Bachiler came to Amer
ica in the ship William and Francis, and landed in Boston June
5, 1632, in company with the three sons named above. They
all settled in Lynn, and here Mr. Bachiler, though over seventy
years of age, was pastor of a church. Difficulties arose and he
removed to Ipswich, and, in 1638, to Hampton, where he was
installed as first pastor of the Congregational church there.
The Sanborns of Bristol are the descendants of the first two of
the three sons named. In the early years of New Chester all
spelled the name Sandborn.

GENEALOGIES — SLEEPER 389
THE SLEEPER FAMILIES
The Sleepers made the first settlements within the limits of
Bristol village, and in the early days of the town were very
numerous here. Though the name is not as common now as
formerly. Sleeper blood flows in the veins of a very large num
ber of her people, and the sons and daughters of Bristol bear
ing this name and their descendants are now worthy citizens
of many states in the Union.
I . The Sleepers of Bristol are the descendants of Thomas
Sleeper, b. in England about 1607. He emigrated to this coun
try when a young man, and was in Hampton in 1640, where he
probably resided till his death, which occurred July 30, 1696, at
the age of 89 years. His widow, Joanna, d. in Kingston, Feb.
5, 1703, ae. 80. They had eight children, of whom the sixth
was 2, Aaron, b. Hampton, Feb. 20, 1661. He m. (i) Eliza

4. David, b. Kingston, Nov. 16, 1721. He m. (i) Nov.
24, 1743, Margaret Scribner, and soon after became one of the
first settlers in Sandown. He was a farmer and amassed a
large fortune for those days, dividing it among his children as
they commenced life for themselves. Though not one of the
proprietors of New Chester, he became a large owner of real
estate in the town, much of which he deeded to his children as
they settled here. "His firm and unshaken government over
his numerous family, and his established principle in educating
them in virtuous and useful habits was not surpassed by anj^ of
his age." He was a prominent member of the Baptist church,
and held numerous town offices. "As a military officer he was
bold and enterprising, and when the news of the battle of Lex
ington reached Sandown he called his company of militia and
the cavalry to arms and immediately repaired to Boston to defend
his country." He m. (2) Ruth Jenness (James), who was b.
Mar. 29, 1735, and d. July 6, 1823, ae. 88-3-7. He d. Oct. 18,

between the two Samuel Sleepers in town, it was proposed that
the one who would furnish the most rum on a certain occasion

colonel. Col. Samuel d. Nov. 27, 1838, ae. 73-7-; his wife,

other real estate on Smith's river. He erected a new dwelling
on the site of the old. The new house was destroyed by fife
about 1875. His home was the abode of culture and one of the
focal points of Bristol society. He possessed original and Well
defined traits of character, an unbending will being prominent.
He was a school teacher and for many years a justice of the
peace and a land surveyor. He had political aspirations but his
opinions vigorously expressed did not make votes, though his
abilities secured him an election six times as moderator of the
annual town meeting. ' When 50 years of age he United with
the Congregational church and continued the practice of stand
ing during the opening prayer long after all others had aban
doned the practice.

'On one occasion he was nominated for representative. When about
to leave home for town meeting, feeling sure of election, he said to his
wife, "You will have the privilege of sleeping with the representative
to-night." He was defeated by Joseph Moore. That night, in ill humor,
he retired early, but not to sleep. Ifinally he said to Mrs. Smith, "Why
don't you come to bed ?" "Oh," said she, "I am waiting for Pisq. Moore
to come."

They res. on Pleasant street. Congregationalists. She was for
many years a member of the choir and an active worker in the
church. She d. Sept. 30, i8g4, ae. 72-0-1. He d. May 16,
1898, ae. 79-4-28. When 16 years of age he entered the store
of George W. Smith in New Hampton, and a year later a store
in Meredith. Here he remained till Oct., 1836, when he came
to Bristol and entered the store of I. C. Bartlett & Co., as clerk,
where he remained as clerk and proprietor for 56 years.
In April, 1842, Mr. Taylor bought out Sias S. Sleeper, one of
the partners, and in i860 purchased the interest of Ichabod
Bartlett and became the sole proprietor. He also purchased the
real estate, and continued in trade here till he sold to Kemp &
Johnson in December, i8g2. During all these years, Mr. Taylor
did a very extensive business in this store and was also largely
interested in other enterprises. He was the senior partner of
Taylor & Shaw and of Taylor & Merrill, miUers, who did an
extensive business in flour and grain. He was one of the pro
moters in the organization of the Franklin & Bristol railroad,
and was a passenger on the first passenger train that left Con
cord for Boston, Sept. 10, 1842. The first freight train that
reached Concord contained freight for him and the first freight
train that reached Bristol contained two car loads of freight for
his store, and from this time for 45 years not a week passed that
did not bring him more or less freight.
During all these years, Mr. Taylor gave his entire personal
attention to his business and confined himself more closely to its
cares than any clerk in his employ. In politics he was a Repub
lican. In i86g, he was elected state senator from this district by
the joint convention of the senate and house, and in 1870 was
re-elected by the people. He was a charter member of Union
Lodge, No. 79, A. F. and A.M., and a prominent member and
liberal supporter of the Congregational church.
Mr. Taylor was universally respected for his many high
qualities. He was a public spirited man and had the best
interests of the community at heart and was a liberal supporter
of all the benevolent institutions of the town. He was honest,
honorable, and upright — a model citizen, and his death was a
great loss to the community.

I . Dr. Timothy Tilton was a tax-payer in that part of New
Chester now Bristol as early as 1806, apparently residing on the
west side of Newfound river. In 18 10, he was residing on the
east side of that river on what is now Pleasant street, and
consequently, in Bridgewater. That year he served as select
man of Bridgewater. In 1823, he was on Bridgewater hiU and
was then a member of the District Medical society. The loss of
the Inventory books of both New Chester and Bridgewater cov
ering the early years of these towns, prevents a more exact state
ment in this case as in many others.

Londonderry. He built the first saw-miU in Hooksett. In 1727,
he removed to Chester. He m., Jan. 8, 1734, Jean McMurphy,
of Londonderry. In 1736, he was committed to jail for refusing
to pay a tax for the support of the settled minister. In March,
1753, he was major of a party sent to survey a route up the
valley of the Merrimack from Concord to the Connecticut river
at HaverhiU. (See p. 24, Vol. I.) At this time he had an
opportunity to see the attractions of the territory along the Pemi
gewasset, and a few months later was a moving spirit in the
organization of the syndicate that purchased the town of New
Chester. He was one of the proprietors of the town, owning
four shares, of four lots each. He was also deeded the mill lot
on Newfound river, in consideration of which he erected and set
in operation the first grist-mill and saw-mills in what is now
Bristol village (See p. 366, Vol. I) ; but he was never a resi
dent of the town. He was a justice of the peace, a land surveyor,
and a man of more than ordinary ability. He d. July, i7gi, ae.

E, p. 522, Vol. I.) His map is shown in Vol. i. He settled at Profile
Falls in 1769, and had the first saw-miU on that stream in operation in
1773. About 1780 he removed to what is now known as Clark's Corner
in South Alexandria, where he was the first settler and where he passed
the remainder of his years. He was a prominent man of his day. In the
Burns graveyard stands a tablet which reads : "Joshua Tolford died Mar.
4, 1826. Elizabeth Tolford died Mar. 9, 1801."

thought Bristol with its background of hills and its rushing river,
was one of the most beautiful places on earth." When a young
man, he was a fireman on the B. C. & M. railroad ; studied at Til
ton ; graduated Dartmouth college, 1859, at Andover Theologi
cal Seminary, 1862 ; served as adjutant 16th Regt. N. H. Vols, in

ment Greek, 1868-'7o ; of historical theology, i870-'72 ; practical
theology and sacred rhetoric, i872-'90, when he resigned to devote
his whole time to literary work. He was a delegate to the ecu
menical council in London in 1881, to the council of all religions
at Chicago in 1893, and was dean of the Chautauqua School of The
ology, i882-'85. He has taken a high rank as a preacher and

TRAIN
I. Col. Samuel P. Train, of the firm of Train-Smith com
pany, though not at any time a resident of the town, has been
closely identified with its industry for the last 18 years. Col.
Train is a son of Samuel F. and Frances G. (Glover) Train. He
was b. in Boston, May 23, 1848, and has been connected with the
paper business for about 40 years. In 1864, he entered the house
of Grant, Warren & Co., Boston, and has been connected with
that firm and its successors till the present. This firm was suc
ceeded by H. M. Clark & Co., in 1873, the year after the big fire
in Boston. They were succeeded by Thompson, Twombly &
Co., and they by Twombly & Co. In 1877, the firm became
Train, Horsford & Co., and, in 1880, Train, Smith & Co., which
has continued till now. In 1885, this firm succeeded to the
property in Bristol of the New Hampshire Pulp and Paper Co.,
consisting of the pulp-miU on Central street and the paper-mill
on Lake street at the North End, and still own and operate
them. (See Manufacturing Industries.) In connection with
this branch of their business, Col. Train has been a frequent
visitor in tow^n, and his enterprise has added materially to the
business of the place. It was in his honor that the local com
pany of militia was named Train Rifles.
Col. Train is a direct descendant of Christopher Gore, at one
time governor of Massachusetts, and of Gen. Israel Putnam of
Revolutionary fame. He served as colonel on the staff of Gov.
John D. Long, of Massachusetts, a cousin by marriage.
THE TRUELL FAMILY
I. David Truell was b. in England in July, 1754. He
learned the tailor's trade in England and came to America about
1775 and was for a time in Litchfield. He was in New Chester
as early as 1796, and at that time lived in a log cabin on the
south bank of Smith's river on the old road not far from the first
bridge over that stream. A cellar in the woods now marks the
site. A few years later he moved to the Bristol side of this
stream and lived on the south side of New Chester mountain on
the old road over this mountain. Like his first home, a ceUar
alone marks the spot. He m. Mary Wilson, who d. in Bristol

THE WORTHEN OR WORTHING FAMILY
Moses Worthen settled on what is stiU known as the
Worthen farm about three-fourths of a mile east of Bristol vil
lage, on the north side of the highway. That he was here as
earlv as 1770 is shown by a return of foreclosure of the township
of New Chester, made by Jonas Minot to the Masonian proprie
tors in August, 1771, in which he states that Moses Worthen
had occupied Lot sg, First Division, for one year, that he had a
30

466 HISTORY OF BRISTOL
house occupied by his family, and seven acres of land improved.
(See chapters on "First Settlements.") P'rom documentary evi
dence gathered by Prof. George M. Fellows, a descendant, it
appears that he was a resident of Sandown in 1763, and that the
Moses Worthen who served in Capt. Goffe's company of Indian
fighters, in the southern part of New Hampshire, in 1746, and
the Moses Worthen who enlisted in Col. Osgood's regiment for
the French and Indian war, in March, 1758, at Haverhill, Mass., '
were probably identical with the Moses Worthen who .settled in
New Chester, in 1770. At his enlistment in March, 1758, his
age is given as 39 years, thus placing his birth in 17x9. From
the same source we obtain the following probable line of descent
to Moses :
I. George, b. England ; m. Margaret, and d. in Salisbury,
Mass., 1640, leaving a widow and one son,
2. Ezekiel, b. 1635 ; m. Hannah Martin, and d. in Ames
bury, Mass., 1720. He had nine children. Of whom the fourth
was 3. Samuel, b. 166-, who m. (i) Deliverance or Deborah
Heath; (2) Jan. 31, 1720, Elizabeth Johnson. Heres. in Haver
hill, Mass., and was the father of
4. Moses, b. about 1719; settled in New Chester, as stated
above, and there d. as late as 1787.
5. Samuel, son of Moses, was b. Southampton, Mass., 1752.
He probably came to New Chester with his father, as he was
here in 1771, and Sept, 27, of that year, purchased of John Tol
ford the westerly half of Lot 59, the easterly half being owned
by his father. In the deed conveying this land he is spoken o
as "Samuel Worthen of New Chester, blacksmith." In 1776,
he purchased his father's half of this lot, and subsequently
became the owner of 400 acres of land east of Bristol village and
160 acres on the New Hampton side of the Pemigewasset river,
which later was known as the Robinson farm. He served in the
Continental army. Samuel Worthen m. about 1782, Hannah
Ingalls, b. 1759. She was distinguished for her great piety.
She was one of the seven who composed the first Methodist class
in Bristol, organized in 1801, and it was at her house that it had
its weekly meetings for seven years. Years later, after listening
to sermons by her two sons in the first Methodist chapel, she
arose and testified, as was then the custom, and .she then said
that she had consecrated her children to the Lord before they
were born. Samuel d. in Bristol, Apr. 29, 1824; .she d. Aug.
28, 1832, both ae. 72 years.
