since been known as the " Tomlin Place," a short distance East of where the late Asa Rice lived ; the house in which he lived was taken down nearly 30 years ago. Chil. Elizabeth, b. July 8, 1746, and m. Aaron Temple, in 1765 ; Mary, Feb. 2, 1748, and m. Joseph Ballard of Andover, Sept. 10, 1771; Sarah, April 29, 1750 ; Hannah, March 11, 1753, and m.

David Hos- ley, or Hasley, of Lancaster, Dec. 11, 1777 ; Dolly, May 13, 1762 ; and Lucretia, Feb. 8, 1765. They were all bap. here, in a few days after their respective births. Their mother was ad. to this chh., from that in Marlboro', in 1771. There is no re- cord here of the death of either of the parents ; they probably removed to live with some one of their married daughters.
SMITH, EPHRAIM came from Boxford,* and here m. Hannah, D. of Daniel Rice, Aug. 16, 1733; both then called of Shrewsbury. He probably d. here, but his death is not on record. Chil. Daniel, who was b. in 1733, as appears by his age at death, was bap. here, also, his mother, May 10, 1736 ; at which time the parents owned the chh. covenant ; Ephraim and Aaron, b. June 22, 1736 ; and Aaron bap. on the 27th ; pre- vious to which time, Ephraim had probably deceased ; Moses,
* Boxford was once a part of Rowley. In a history of the latter town, from its settlement, to a recent period, by Thomas Gage, I find what in all probability re- Jates to the ancestry of Ephraim Smith.
" Hugh Smith was settled there in 1642, and d. in 1656 ; his wife was Mary." They had, says Mr. Gage, Edward, b. in 1654, and probably John ; Samuel, and four daughters.
John, whose wife was Faith Parrot, had John and Jonathan, twins, b. in 1659, and probably Benjamin.
Benjamin, whose wife was Martha Kilborn, had Moses, in 1711 ;. Benjamin, in 1719; Jacob, in 1720, and Joseph, in 1724. These names indicate a family relation between the Smiths there, and those who first settled here. Ephraim may have been a son of Benjamin, and bro. of Jacob and Joseph above mentioned, who, it is sup. also came to this town. Families of this name were early settlers in several of the most ancient towns in New England. The name is now the most common, probably, of any in this country, and the pedigrees of the families, therefore, the most difficult to be traced with accuracy.

* He was one of the immortals, who fought on Bunker Hill; and was in the ser- vice during most of the war. He commanded a company in aid of Shay's rebel- lion, and, when it was nearly suppressed, withdrew from the Commonwealth, and returned after the passage of an act of amnesty. Even in his latter days, he spoke of that period of his life with much pride and self-satisfaction. He avowed good mo- tives, and admitted ill-judged proceedings on his part, and those, who acted with him, in seeking relief from the pressure of the times, adding, emphatically, " there was cause for complaint." What he said was undoubtedly true.
When Lafayette visited this country, in 1824, and was at Worcester, on the 2d of Sept., in that year, Mr. Smith, then in his 89th year, walked there, a distance of four miles, to meet his old commander, under whom he served in the Jerseys, in the most trying period of the Revolutionary war. He presented. Lafayette with a cane, informing him he had wrought it from a stick he brought home with him from that campaign. Immediately Lafayette recognized him, and greeted him with such fra -- ternal salutations, as excited great sensibility among a crowd of spectators. He anticipated the high satisfaction he should enjoy in being present at the laying of" the corner stone of Bunker Hill Monument, on the 17th of. June following ;, but- it was not permitted him to see that day ..
