THE LONGLEY FAMILY.
James Longley, the first of the name in Boylston, was a son of William and Mary (Parker) Longley, and was born in Shirley, November 4, 1753. His family was of English origin and of res- pectable, and even high standing in church and state ; several were ministers of the established church, and one Thomas Long-
124

ley, supposed to be of the same family, rose to be Bishop of Dur- ham, Cardinal and Lord Chancellor of England.
William (or as some claim Richard) Longley came to New England soon after the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony ; married Joanna Goffe, a sister of Thomas Goffe, Deputy Governor of the Colony ; settled at Lynn where he was admitted as a freeman March 14, 1633. His son William Longley, settled in Groton, at or very soon after the first settlement of the place, and was one of the most extensive landed proprietors there ; upon his death, his estates came into the possession of his son, William Longley, who resided there until his death in 1694, when he and his family became the victims of Indian depredations, and all were slain but three children, who were carried into captivity. Of these children one died of starvation ; another was sold to the French in Canada, where she finally embraced the Catholic religion, and entered a convent at Montreal ; the third, a son named John remained with the Indians, gradually adopting their manners and customs, until ransomed by Government when he very reluctantly returned to civilized life, and became an honored and useful citizen. Three of his sons, William, John and Jonas removed from Groton to what is now Shirley, about two years before the incorporation of that place ; the distance from their former home was only about eight miles in a direct course, and yet, since they had to turn aside for impassable streams and slow- ly wend their way through the then wilderness, three days were necessary to complete the journey. The life of this William Longley seems to have been that of a quiet New England farmer, uneventful and even in its tenor, varied only by those hardships and privations which were the common lot of every New England pioneer. He lived to witness the struggle of the Colonies against British aggression, and the final consummation of their indepen- dence, in which struggle several of his descendants bore an hon- orable part.
James Longley the son, and principal subject of this sketch, on account of the large family of his father, was forced in early boyhood to seek a home elsewhere, and finally went to North- borough where after the custom of the time, he was apprenticed to Samuel Gamble, a carpenter, to remain in his service until he

should have arrived at the full age of twenty-one years. Under this master he received harsh and severe treatment. He was in- efficiently and coarsely clad, and was kept at his work during the whole period of his indenture, without obtaining a single day's schooling. His treatment was such as would not be tolerated at the present time. He, however, patiently endured his ever- accu- mulating burdens until the term of his apprenticeship was com- pleted. On obtaining his freedom he entered the employ of a hotel proprietor in Northborough; at this time he began to realize the importance of acquiring an education sufficient to enable him to transact ordinary business ; he obtained a teacher and began to study ; commencing with the alphabet he continued by patient effort until he had learned to read, write and solve the problems of common arithmetic. With this beginning he sought to qualify himself for the duties of life, and thus became a life- long student after knowledge.
During the Revolution he became imbued with love for the independence of his country, and entered the service of the Colonies, both in the land and sea forces raised for their protec- tion. He was at first in the marine or privateering service, under Commodore Moody, and was in several successful cruises. He then joined the land forces and served in that dangerous affair on Long Island under General Sullivan, when the British troops under General Howe, undertook successfully to force the Ameri- cans from the Island, and later was at the battle of Saratoga which witnessed the capture of General Burgoyne. Soon after the close of the Revolution he married Molly Bartlett, of North- borough, and settled upon a large farm near Rocky Pond, in the easterly part of Boylston. His farm was large in extent, con - taining nearly three hundred acres, naturally rough and broken. and hard of cultivation. On it he erected large and commodious buildings, and by hard and patient labor brought it to a good state of cultivation. He was one of the first of the farmers in Boylston to plant orchards, and to introduce improved fall and winter fruit. On this farm he spent the remainder of his days, and here he reared a large family of children, nearly all of whom reached years of maturity. The quiet of his life as a New England farmer was broken from time to time by calls from his

fellow-citizens, to assume important and responsible positions. He was in Shays's Rebellion in 1787, and participated in the night march from Hadley to Petersham, through a blinding snow storm, as the following quaint receipt shows :
