HISTORY OF ESSEX NORTH ASSOCIATION.
The last sickness of father Kimball was a lung fever, short, but very painful. On Monday, Jan. 30th, he was engaged in preparing for the press the sermon which he preached in Groveland, the Sabbath after the funeral of his friend, Dr. Perry. That evening he was suddenly attacked, and on Wednesday there was little hope of his recovery. His last hours furnished his family and the church the most pleasing evidences of Christ's near presence with him. Awaking from a troubled slumber, he exclaimed, " Oh, the gates are opening, I can see far within the city." On Thursday evening he urged his wife, who had watched unremittingly with him, to retire for rest; "but before you go," he said, " let us say our little hymn." And, drawing her near him, they repeated together, according to the custom of long years, -
" Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep ; If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take."

On Friday morning it was evident he could not tarry long. He took affectionate leave of his family, and breathing benedictions on his people, he departed Feb. 3, 1860, at 122 M.
All the members of the Essex North Association, at the time of the settlement of Father Kimball, had passed away from carth, and only two clergymen settled in the county at the time of his ordination survived him, namely, Rev. Samuel Dana of Marblehead, and Rev. Brown Emer- son, D. D., of Salem. On Wednesday, Feb. 8, many of his brethren, and a large concourse of people who knew and loved him, assembled to pay the last offices of respect to this truly good man. The pulpit, com- munion table, and chairs were appropriately draped in mourning. After a prayer at the dwelling-house, by Rev. Dr. Withington, the remains were conveyed to the church, and placed before the pulpit. Introduc- tory services by Rev. S. J. Spalding, of Newburyport; Reading of Scriptures by Rev. Dr. Withington, of Newbury ; Prayer by Rev. Dr. Dimmick, of Newburyport ; Sermon by Rev. Mr. Fitz, of Ipswich ; Con- cluding Prayer by Rev. Mr. Southgate, present pastor of the church.
Mr. Kimball was married at Dracut, Oct. 20, 1807. The maiden name of his wife was Dolly Varnum Coburn. She was the daughter of Capt. Peter and Elizabeth (Poor) Coburn, of Dracut, and granddaughter of Deacon Daniel Poor, of Andover.
They had seven children, five sons and two daughters, all born in Ipswich, -

The son of Daniel and Mary (Barnes) Holt, was born in Meriden, Ct., Nov. 9, 1762 ; grad. at Y. C. 1784; studied divinity with Prof. Wales of Y. C. and Rev. Benjamin Trumbull, D. D., of North Haven, Ct. He was approbated by the New Haven East Association in 1786. He was ordained in Hardwicke, Mass., June 25, 1789; dis. March 27, 1805 ; inst. at Ipswich, now Essex, Jan. 25, 1809; dis. April 20, 1813. He afterwards resided on a farm at Hardwicke, although, for a large portion of his time, when he had not a special charge, he was employed as a missionary in Maine, New-Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecti- cut.
He was baptized in infancy, and became a Christain while a member of college. His convictions of his lost condition, as a sinner, were deep and pungent, followed by a hope of acceptance with God through the merits of Jesus Christ, and a desire to serve his Master in the gospel ministry. He was sound in doctrine, and familiar with the Scriptures. In his last sickness, those who watched with him were edified by the portions of the Word of God which he repeated, and by his pertinent re- marks upon them. He sustained an excellent religious character, preach- ed the pure truths of the gospel, and was eminently a man of prayer.
Mr. Holt died Feb. 21, 1836, aged 73 years.
He published a Sermon which he preached at the Ordination of Reed Paige.

JAMES MILTIMORE,
Was born in Londonderry, N. H., January 4, 1755. He was the son of James and Jane (Aiken) Miltimore, and was baptized in infancy. Graduated at D. C. in 1774, and studied theology with his pastor, the Rev. David McGregor. He was. licensed to preach by the Old Pres- bytery of Londonderry, probably about 1776.
He received a call from the Presbyterian Church in Antrim, N. H., 1780, but declined it. He received a call from "N. E. Congregation" of White Creek, N. Y., Feb. 5, 1784, and was assigned " trial pieces " for ordination, as follows :
1. Exposition of the first six verses of seventeenth chapter of John.
2. Latin Discussion on the question, " Whether Christ died for all men equally."
3. To preach a popular Sermon on Ps. 119: 30, -" I have chosen the way of truth."
Sept. 8, 1784, he declined the call to White Creek and another to Deer Island. He supplied at Seabrook, N. H., and other vacant places for some time, his trial for ordination being continued till Sept. 13, 1785. It was not however completed, as he was ordained over the Congrega- tional Church in Stratham, N. H., Feb. 1, 1786, according to congrega- tional usage. This church became so far Presbyterian, during his pas- torate, as to have a board of elders, and be occasionally represented in the Presbytery.
After a ministry of nearly twenty-two years in Stratham, he was dismissed Oct. 15, 1807, and installed at Belleville, Newbury (now Newburyport), April 27, 1808. In January, 1831, he gave up the active duties of his office, and preached only occasionally.
Mr. John C. March, who had for more than a year assisted him in his labors, was ordained colleague pastor, March 1, 1832.
Mr. Miltimore died March 23, 1836, aged 81.
He became a member of the Association, July 14, 1812, and so contin- ued till his death. He also united with the Presbytery of Newbury- port, when the Londonderry Presbytery was divided in 1826.
Mr. Miltimore was married at Stratham, N. H., Oct. 26, 1786, to Dolly Wiggin, daughter of Andrew and Dolly (Currier) Wiggin. She died Feb. 1824.
The names of their children are, -

The following sketch is from a manuscript sermon, preached at liis funeral, by his colleague and successor.
" As a minister he was faithful and laborious. He seemed to feel that all his time and all his talents should be devoted to the great work in which he was engaged. It might literally be said that he was 'instant in season and out of season.' It is believed that few men have performed a greater amount of ministerial labor.
" As a preacher, he enjoyed, for a considerable portion of his life, a high degree of popularity. His appearance in the pulpit was dignified and solemn, and his manner remarkably impressive. He spoke as one whose heart was deeply penetrated with the truths which he uttered. Few men have probably excelled him in those external qualifications which are calculated to rivet attention and command respect.
" As a man, he was remarkable for the mildness of his disposition, and for all those amiable traits of character which are calculated to conciliate affection. No man, perhaps, ever entered more deeply into the feelings of others. His heart, like that of his divine master, seemed to be made of sympathy and love. The delicacy of his sentiments and feelings mani- fested itself in his outward demeanor. His politeness was something more than the external grace of the man who wishes merely to at- tract applause ; it was unstudied, spontaneous, genuine politeness of the heart. His social qualities were of a superior order. He had a high relish for the pleasures of friendship.
" But it is as a Christian that his character shines with its brightest and most attractive lustre. In the highest sense of the expression, he was a good man. His piety was not loud and ostentatious. It rather resembled the deep, broad river, which flows calmly and silently along, than the noisy, but shallow brook. No object seemed to be nearer his heart than the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom and the salvation of immortal souls. It was delightful to observe, during the last few years of his life, how his piety seemed to outlive the powers of his mind, and to triumph over the decay of nature. When he could scarcely recognize the members of his own family, he could think and speak of Jesus."
" Of the truthfulness of this portraiture," says the present pastor of the church at Belleville, "there are yet many living witnesses. Verily ' the memory of the just is blessed.'"

Another, L. W., says, " Mr. Miltimore was a cultivated man; a Chris- tian gentleman in dress, manners, and feelings. Ilis voice was clear; his articulation good ; he was never exhausted, and his manner of preach- ing peculiarly acceptable to those hearers that like expansion. His urbanity was seen in his style. He meant to be faithful, though he could not be harsh. We believe that he is gone to heaven, and has allured, if he has not driven many with him. No man in this vicinity ever pro- nounced his name but with the deepest respect and affection."
Mr. Miltimore published the following sermons :
1. Sermon and Oration on the death of Rev. John Murray, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Newburyport, who died March 13, 1793. 8vo, pp. 62. Exeter, N. H., 1793.
2. Sermon at the Ordination of Rev. James Thurston, in Newmarket, N. H., Oct. 15, 1800. 8vo, pp. 30. Exeter, N. H., 1800.
3. Sermon preached at the Dedication of the New Meeting House at Belleville, in the Fourth Parish in Newbury, Nov. 24, 1807. 8vo, pp. 23. Newburyport, 1807.
4. Two Discourses preached on the occasion of the Annual Fast, April 9, 1812. 8vo, pp. 22. Newburyport, 1812.
WILLIAM BALCH,
Was the son of Rev. Benjamin and Joanna (O'Brien) Balch, and was born at Danvers, Mass., January 17, 1775 ; and baptized in infancy. The family was living there at that time, while the father, Rev. Benja- man Balch, who had been previously settled at Mendon, Mass., served as chaplain in the squadron of Paul Jones during the Revolution. After the Revolution he was settled at Barrington, N. H. William Balch prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Exeter, N. H., and was for three years in Harvard College. He belonged to the class of which Dr. Channing and Judge Story were members. He first united with the church at Barrington, N. H. He studied theology with his father. He excelled as a Latin scholar, and possessed a large library of miscellane- ous English books, of which he was a diligent student. Previous to any settlement he served as chaplain in the navy, first on board the Congress, and then on board the Chesapeake, for a year or more, from Nov. 19, 1799.
He was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in the West Parish of Salisbury, November 17, 1802. He was dismissed Feb. 20, 1816. He was installed at Salem, N. H., Dec. 1, 1819. Dismissed Aug. 6, 1835.

Mr. Balch spent the last years of his life at Dedham, and died there August 31, 1842, aged 67. He occupied the pulpit occasionally after his retirement to Dedham; but being the victim of a lingering disease, was laid aside from public labors during the last years of his life. His body lies in the cemetery near the village of Dedham, a few miles from the birth-place of his father, and the tomb of his grandfather, who was for thirty-seven years pastor of the Second Church in that town.

"Six ministers were present at the funeral as pall-bearers, namely, - Rev. Messrs. Miltimore, Dana, D. D., Milton, Webster, Sawyer, and Hull. She was carried into the meeting-house, and a hymn was sung and a prayer made by Dr. Dana of Newburyport."

JAMES WAKEFIELD TUCKER,
Was the son of Thomas and Anna (Dibble) Tucker, and was born in Danbury, Fairfield Co., Conn., April 19, 1787, and was baptized July 29, 1787. He graduated at Y. C. in 1807, and while there became a member of the College church by profession. He studied theology with Pres. Dwight, and was approbated by the New Haven West Association in 1809. He was ordained in Rowley, June 24, 1812, to which place he came from the Seminary at Andover.
" Mr. Tucker," says Dea. J. Jewett. " expressed a strong desire to live and die with us; but thought his salary ($600) too small to live on. We loved him, and offered him temporary relief, and he wanted it to be permanent." In consequence of this inadequate support he was dis- missed June 24, 1817, just five years from his settlement.
After leaving Rowley he received several calls which he declined, one from Mansfield, Conn., and one from Harrisburg, Penn. He ac- cepted the call from Springfield, New Jersey, and was installed June, 1818, and died February 11, 1819, after an illness of two days. He preached on the Sabbath morning previous to his-decease, administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the afternoon, and in the evening conducted a meeting of prayer and conference. Spent Monday in his study, was taken ill that evening, and died on Thursday morning.
Mr. Tucker married, October 17, 1809, at New Haven, Conn., Miss Harriet Atwater, fourth daughter and seventh child of Timothy and Susanna (Macomber) Atwater. She survived her husband more than twenty-five years, and died in the city of New York, October 1, 1844.
The names of their children are, -
1. Susan Atwater, b. April 7, 1811, at New Haven ; d. July 9, 1846.
2. Anne Mary, b. March 3, 1813, at Rowley.
3. Harriet Atwater, b. Dec. 27, 1814, at Rowley.
4. James Wakefield, b. Oct. 29, 1816, at Rowley ; grad. at Y. C., 1836.
5. Sarah Norris, b. Dec. 14, 1818, at Springfield, N. J.
The following account of the ancestors of Rev. Mr. Tucker, has been furnished by G. Grenville White, Esq., of New York.
"The Rev. James Wakefield Tucker was a descendant from John Tucker of Dorsetshire, Eng., who had a son Thomas, born in the same place, A. D. 1640. The latter had a son James born in Shaftsbury, same county, 17th Nov., 1696. He emigrated to New York, was a merchant there, and there married Mary Wartendych. He died in New York, Dec. 5, 1759. His son (my grandfather) Thomas was born 29th of January, 1743. He was also a merchant in New York, where
17 .
130

he married Hannah Barton, with whom and their children he fled. dur- ing the war, to Danbury, Ct. He joined the army in its struggle for liberty, and held the office of Ass. Commissary-General. His wife IIan- nah died A. D. 1780, and is buried near Danbury (Bethel). He married, for his second wife. Anna Dibble, of Danbury.
Mr. Thomas Tucker was in connection with the Church of England. and held the office of Vestryman in Trinity Church, New York. Upon his removal to Danbury, he united with the Congregational church, and held there the office of deacon until his death in 1820.
He was the author and one of the signers of the " Address of the Citi- zens of New York, who have returned from exile, in behalf of themselves and their suffering brethren, to his Excellency, George Washington, Esq., General and Commander-in-chief of the Armies of the United States of America." New York, Nov. 26, 1783.
" Mr. Tucker," says a near neighbor and a contemporary in the minis- try, " was an acceptable preacher in this region, and he had a very strong hold on his own people. The ancient custom was preserved in Rowley, of waiting in the church until the pastor had left the pulpit, and there was no disposition to drop that custom during his ministry. Great efforts were made to give him, as the people conceived, an ample salary. He, however, during his last two years, became discontented ; and was deter- mined to ask a dismission. Dr. Spring, whose ideas of the pastoral union were very high, endeavored to counteract Mr. Tucker's purpose, and to persuade him and his lady to be satisfied with his condition, and to re- main. However, he was dismissed June 24, 1817 ; and soon after settled in Springfield, New Jersey ; not much increasing his salary, and not much bettering his condition. In July 17, 1817, a parochial fast was held, and Rev. Mr. Braman of Georgetown, then New Rowley, preached the sermon. It contained the following paragraph :
" . The present is a time of affliction in this church and society. God in his providence has visited you with a rod. Your minister, whom you valued for his gifts, and esteemed higlily in love for his work's sake, is removed from you unexpectedly, and at a very early period. Had it been by death, however great the calamity, you that fear the Lord would have been dumb, and humbly acquiesced in the Divine will. But the circumstances attending the present removal are peculiarly trying. You loved your minister, and wished to retain him as your spiritual guide. You treated him, we believe, with kindness and respect ; and hoped he would live to admonish and console you in your declining years; and to train up your children in the knowledge and love of the truth. When he asked for additional means of support, you came forward with ardor, and did as much as it appeared to you reason and duty required. In

this he differed from you in opinion. But whatever decision may be made by different minds in this, all who believe in a superintending Providence must agree, the hand of God was in it.'
" Mr. Tucker was a warm-hearted, impetuous man, very amiable, but sometimes lacking the necessary caution."
