NOTE .- All the biographical sketches published in this volume were submitted to their respective subjects or to the sub- scribers, from whom the facts were primarily obtained, for their approval or correction before going to press, and a reasonable time was allowed in each case for the return of the typewritten copies. Most of them were returned to us within the time allotted, or before the work was printed, after being corrected or revised; and these may therefore be regarded as reasonably accurate.
A few, however, were not returned to us; and, as we have no means of knowing whether they contain errors or not, we cannot vouch for their accuracy. In justice to our readers, and to render this work more valuable for reference purposes, we have indicated all uncorrected sketches by a small asterisk (*), placed immediately after the name of the subject. They will be found printed on the last pages of the book.

1198657 PREFACE.
B EYOND question this is a book-making age. Printed pages in covers - never before did the world contain so many; and still they come, each with its prefatory apology, as if a book must always present itself fore-armed with a formal excuse for being. Nor will the work in hand prove an exception. Much time and thought have gone to its preparation.
The present volume of the BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW -the XXVIII. of the " Atlantic Series "- may be considered fairly representative of the intelligent, indus- trious. enterprising population, urban and rural, of Essex County, in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Many of the names here set forth reveal descendants of the original colonists of this early settled section of the old Bay State; others, the children and grandchildren of later comers; and yet others denote worthy citi- zens of foreign birth or parentage - loyal Americans all, useful to State and nation, and well reputed. Where desired, space has been gladly given to the tracing of lines of ancestry and of collateral kinship, effort being faithfully made to avoid in this feature, as far as possible, both the initiation of error and the perpetuation of past mistakes - ever present pitfalls in the path of the genealogist, which we cannot hope to have utterly escaped. We have thus blended, to a degree unusual in biographical writings drawing their subjects from men of the times, personal and family history, and in so doing feel confident that we have imparted to our work an additional ele- ment of enduring value.

THOMAS W. PEIRCE.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
HOMAS WENTWORTH PEIRCE, railroad president and multi-millionaire, for many 022 years a summer resident of Topsfield, Mass., where he owned a large and valuable estate, was a native of Dover, N. H. He was born August 16, 1818, son of the Hon. An- drew and Betsey (Wentworth) Peirce, and was a descendant in the eighth generation of John, of Watertown, Mass., who came over from England in 1637. The successive an- cestors in this line were : Anthony, 2 who emi- grated before his father, John'; Joseph 3; Benjamin 4; Benjamin 5; Andrew6; and An- drew,7 the father above-named. (The history of the family is recorded in the Peirce Gene- alogy, compiled by Mr. Frederick Clifton Peirce, published in 1880. )
The Hon. Andrew Peirce, Jr., was born in Gloucester, Mass., and was in early life a mariner, becoming the master of a vessel. Turning his attention to merchandise in 1827, he engaged in trade and navigation until the time of his death, which occurred in Dover, N. H., March 28, 1850. He had filled many offices of trust in the town, and was a member of the Senate of the State of New Hampshire. His wife, whose maiden name was Betsey Wentworth, died in Dover, December 22, 1866, in the seventy-third year of her age.
As we learn from the Wentworth Geneal-
ogy, she was a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Roberts) Wentworth, and grand-daughter of Colonel Jonathan, who was son of Samuel, grandson of Ephraim, and great-grandson of William Wentworth, colonist, for many years Ruling Elder of the church in Dover, N. H. Samuel, here named, was a cousin of Lieuten- ant Governor John Wentworth; and Colonel Jonathan was a second cousin of Governor Benning Wentworth.
Eleven children were born to the Hon. An- drew and Betsey (Wentworth) Peirce, and eight of these grew to maturity ; namely, Mary A., Andrew, Thomas Wentworth, James W., William, Elizabeth J., George H., and Lucy D.
While attending school, Thomas Wentworth Peirce, the second-born son, lived at the pa- rental home, assisting in the work upon the farm. He was still a young lad when he re- ceived an appointment to a clerkship in town ; but shortly afterward, his health proving deli- cate, his father sent him to the island of Cuba, where he spent the winter, and in the spring took the voyage to New Orleans, also visiting Texas, then almost a new and unde- veloped country. He returned to Dover when fifteen years of age, and assisted his father in business for the next three years. At nine- teen he was appointed on the staff of the Gov- ernor of New Hampshire, and the same year he became associated with his brother in busi- ness in Dover. In 1843 he removed to Bos- ton to enter the house of Peirce & Bacon, who
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
ran a large fleet of packets between Boston and Galveston, Tex. In 1851 his brother An- drew became a member of the firm, and the trade was extended to the South, especially to Texas, where the house handled cotton, sugar, and hides; and in 1852 Mr. Peirce opened a branch house at Galveston, Tex. From this point he was active in aiding nearly all the enterprises of the South-west, and was instru- mental in the building of the Galveston, Har- risburg & San Antonio Railroad, of which road he was the president and owner. He was as- sociated in his New York office with Messrs. C. P. Huntington, Stanford, Crocker, Hop- kins, and others, and with them built the great Southern Pacific Railroad.
About the year 1856 he bought the beauti- ful estate of seven hundred acres at Topsfield, Mass., now carried on by his nephew and namesake, Thomas W. Peirce, second. Its cost price was thirty thousand dollars; and throughout his lifetime Mr. Peirce took de- light in making extensive improvements upon the place, expending in this way over one hundred thousand dollars. He was much in- terested in the breeding of fine cattle, and was the owner of about one hundred and twenty Jersey and Holstein cows. His stables held some fine horses of the Hamiltonian breed. Besides many miles of railroad property, he owned in Texas about two hundred thousand acres of land; and there he engaged exten- sively in stock-raising. On Capota Farm, of thirty-five thousand acres under fence, he em- ployed a large number of men, with Major Moore as manager, through whom he carried on extensive farming interests.
His first wife, Mary Curtis, a Boston lady, died at Topsfield; and he married, second, Cornelia Cook, of Galveston, a niece of Gen- eral Nichols, who was his partner at Galves- ton. He survived her also, and died in Oc-
tober, 1885, at the Sanitarium at Clifton Springs, N. Y. His grave is at Mount Au- burn, Mass. He left two children : Thomas Wentworth Peirce, third, a Harvard student at Cambridge, Mass. ; and Marian Wentworth Peirce, the only daughter.
Mr. Peirce was a man whose liberal hospi- tality will long be remembered by those whose pleasure it was to have known him. He was never devoted to club life, but was in the habit of entertaining lavishly at his country- seat ; and many of the most prominent men of the country have been his guests, both at Topsfield and at his city home in Boston, where he owned a residence until after the death of his wife.
In politics he was a stanch Democrat, and was much sought to fill positions of honor and responsibility. President Pierce desired to count him among the members of his cabinet, and at a later date the same offer was made to him by President Lincoln. But Mr. Peirce preferred the quiet of private life, and refused to enter politics. He was broad in his views, a deep thinker, and a keen observer of human nature. His gift of twenty-five thousand dol- lars to the Universalist church at Dover, N. H., is indicative of the generous spirit of the man.
Thomas Wentworth Peirce, second, the nephew above mentioned, is the son of Colonel George H. Pierce, of Dover, N. H. He was ed- ucated at Andover, and at the age of seventeen went to Texas, where he became general pas- senger agent of the G., H. & S. A. Railroad and assistant to the president, his uncle. In this capacity he had charge of all the passenger and emigration business, and was his uncle's personal representative. After the death of his uncle, Mr. Thomas W. Peirce, second, became one of the executors and trustee of his estate. The Topsfield farm, in which his uncle had
II
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
taken so much pardonable pride, afterward came into his personal care; and he has since largely devoted hiniself to its management. He aims in every way to carry out the plans of the former owner, and keeps a large number of men employed on the place. He has about seventy cows, and deals largely in milk, which is sent to Salem.
HARLES PERLEY, a prosperous farmer of Boxford and an ex-member of the Massachusetts legislature, was born in Dunbarton, N.H., September 2, 1823, son of Benjamin and Ruth S. (Mills) Perley. His father was a native of Boxford, as was also his grandfather, Ben- jamin Perley (first). The latter cleared a large farm in Dunbarton, where he resided until his death, which occurred when he was seventy-three years old. The father was quite young when his parents moved to New Hampshire. In early manhood he bought a farm adjoining his father's property. He was an industrious farmer, took an active part in the public affairs of Dunbarton, and died in that town in his eighty-third year. Ruth S. Perley, his wife, was a daughter of Thomas and Sarah Mills, of Dunbarton. Her father served in the War of 1812. She became the
mother of nine children; namely, Warren, Charles, Margaret, John Q., Mary J., Sarah L., Hannah M., Lydia P., and Althiana. Of these Warren, Margaret, Sarah L., and Lydia P. are deceased. John Q. resides in Goffstown, N.H .; Mary J. is living in Man- chester; and Hannah M. is a resident of Springfield, Mass. Warren Perley, who died in Bradford, Mass., leaving a widow and three children, successively married Clarissa Kidder and Martha Fish.
Charles Perley acquired a district-school
education in Dunbarton. After completing his studies he began work in the cotton-mills at Amoskeag, where he was employed for three years. At the age of twenty-two he came to Boxford, and for the succeeding ten years was in the employment of John Day. Now he is the owner of the farm known as the Deacon Day place. He married Emily A. Day, daughter of John and Emily (Kimball) Day. John Day, who was the proprietor of a machine shop and a cider and grist mill, was accidentally killed by being caught in the shafting. His other children - John A. and Franklin E. Day - reside in Bradford, Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Perley, having lost their only child in its infancy, adopted and reared Anna P. and Helen Emily Day. The former is now a teacher in Pelham, Mass .; and the latter is the wife of Albert W. Frost, of North An- dover, Mass., and has one daughter, Myra M. Frost. Mrs. Perley died January 1, 1894.
Mr. Perley is still cultivating the Day farm, and occupies a prominent place among the representative agriculturists of Boxford. In politics he acts with the Republican party. He was elected to the Massachusetts legislat- ure of 1873, in which he served with ability. His first Presidential vote was cast for Henry Clay in 1844. A Master Mason, he belongs to Merrimac Lodge. His religious belief is that of the Congregationalists.
