The surnames McCol- M'COLLESTER lester and Collester are identical with McAlis- ter, and of ancient Scottish origin. McAlis- ter, or McAllister, means simply son of Allis- ter. The McAllisters are of the famous clan McDonald, the chief of which was Lord of the Isles (Hebrides). The clan was loyal to the Stuarts to the day of their final defeat in 1745. The badge of the clan is "Froach gorn" (common heath) and the battle cry "Froach eilan" (healthful island).
Allister, son of Angus Mor, of the McDon- ald clan, was progenitor of the McDonalds, becoming chief of a new clan Allister in 1263. He was succeeded by his son of the same name, whence the clan name and surname McAllister. Angus the Great was Lord of the Isles, 1258-74, descendant from Somerled Thane ( Baron) of Argyle and First Lord of the Isles, son of Magnus III, Barford, King of Norway. A sample of the tartan worn by the clan McAllister is to be seen in a "Genea- logy of Archibald McAllister's Descendants, West Pennsborough, Pennsylvania," by Mary Catherine McAllister.
Burke's British Peerage says in substance that the two best family names in Great Bri- tain are Plantaganet and McDonald (to which all McAllisters belong) and that there are de- scendants of the McDonalds in America who can well claim to be as of noble descent as any in Great Britain. "As good or as noble blood flows in their ( McAllister) veins' as flows in any people on the face of the earth. None surpass them as to nobility of ancestry or for bravery and military history." The coat-of-arms is very ancient: Or an eagle displayed gules armed sable surmonted on the breast of a galley of the first within a bordure of the third, charged with six cross crosslets fitchées argent. Crest : A dexter arm in armour erect the hand holding a dagger in pole all proper. Supporters: Dexter a bear pierced in the back with an arrow; sinister, an eagle all proper. Mottoes: (above crest) "Fortiter: (below the shield) "Per mare per terras." The family and clan McAllister came from Argyle and is very numerous in many parishes. The family is found at present in all parts of Scotland in the north of Ireland, many counties of England, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Penn- sylvania and many other parts of the United States.
From the north of Ireland there came to Pennsylvania and New Hampshire four or five immigrants from the McAllister family. We will mention the New Hampshire settlers, as they seem to be of the same family. Angus McAllister came from Londonderry, Ireland, or vicinity with the first Scotch-Irish emigra- tion to Nutfield, later called Londonderry, New Hampshire, though for several years he was at Lancaster (probably Lunenburg, the town adjoining). He was in Londonderry in 1731, and his farm there is still owned by his descendants. He was a soldier in the British army in Ireland, and had an ear shot off in

the battle of Pennyburn Mill. On account of this military service he was exempt from taxa- tion. He married, in Ireland, Margaret Boyle. Children. 1. William, died 1755. aged fifty- five, married Jennette Camerson : descendants settled in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, and Ber- lin, Vermont. 2. David, died 1750, aged forty- six ; married Eleanor Wilson : children : Alexander, John, Archibald. George, Marga- ret and Jennette. 3. John, returned to Ire- land; his five daughters married and stayed in this country.
Richard McAllister came from Ireland to Londonderry, 1738-9. He settled in Bedford. New Hampshire, as early as 1743. and be- came a leading citizen of that town. He mar- ried, in Ireland, 1735. AAnn Miller. Children : 1. Archibald, settled in Wiscasset, Maine. 2. John, born on the voyage January 18. 1739. birth recorded at Chelsea, Massachusetts : soldier in French and Indian war, also in revo- lution. 3. William, born in Londonderry, July 14, 1741 ; married Jerusha Spofford. 4. Mary, born at Bedford. August 10, 1743. 5. Ann, born November 6, 1745; died October 3. 1760. 6. Susanna, born August 20. 1747. 7. Richard, born October 20, 1749. 8. James, born February 29, 1752. 9. Benjamin, born May 31. 1754.
John McAllister, a relative of Richard, came from Ireland 1748, and settled in New Boston, New Hampshire, on a tract of land near Joe English Hill; was a leading citizen, energetic and well-to-do; on the first board of select- men of the town. Children: 1. Archibald, married Mary MeKeen. 2. Angus, removed to Fryeburg. Maine. 3. Daniel, resided at New Boston. 4. Mary, married Daniel Kelso.
(1) Samuel McAllister is given by the his- tory of Marlborough, New Hampshire, as the immigrant ancestor of the branch of the family that settled in that town. But they were un- doubtedly closely related to the other immi- grants mentioned. He is said to have been a prisoner of war with his brother John, but the story is rather vague. The Scotch pris- oners of war sent over by Cromwell were sev- eral generations earlier. There is no reason to believe that any of the McAllisters came earlier than the Scotch-Irish settlement in 1718. We find no trace of the family in Dor- chester, Massachusetts, where the brothers are said to have settled first. We quote from the account in the Marlborongh history, how- ever : "The descendants of John turned their course to Maine, while those of Samuel came to New Hampshire and Vermont. From this
branch ( Samuel) of course, have sprung all whose record is given in these pages. For many years, they spelled their name McAlis- ter ; afterwards, by local custom, it was chang- ed to McCollester, and was so written many years. About the time of the French war it changed again, dropping the "Mc" and writ- ing it Collester. For the last thirty years the "Mc" has been restored by a portion of the family.
(II) Isaac McAlister, son of Samuel Mc- Allister, born September 25. 1736, died June 8. 1800. Ile was one of the proprietors of Monadnock No. 5, and took an active part in town affairs. It is said that he was one of the surveyors of the town, and took his pay in land. He was one of a committee of three to lay a road from Dublin to Keene 1763. Ile removed to Marlborough, New Hampshire. in the early fall of 1764-5. and was the sec- ond settler in what is now Marlboro. He first located on the farm now or lately owned by Ansel Nye ( and here the first child was born, Patty McAlister, in the town ), but soon sold it to Jonathan Frost, taking his pay in Con- tinental money. He bought what was known as the Converse place, now or lately owned in part by Rev. S. 11. McCollester, but his money so depreciated in value that he sold it and built his second log house on his remain- ing lot, now known as the Sawyer place. He resided here until his death. He married Han- nah Goddard, born January 27, 1736, died March 3. 1814, daughter of William and Keziah (Cloyes ) Goddard. Children : 1. Children. t.

( V) Dr. John Quincy Adams McCollester, son of Silas McCollester, was born at Marl- borough, New Hampshire, May 3, 1831. The family moved from the farm near the Rox- bury line in March, 1836, to a home in the village of Marlborough. From the age of four years to ten he attended the district school of his native town, usually for two terms a year, of eleven weeks each. Intelligent and active, he began at the age of ten years to work in his father's pail factory, and soon proved himself a skillful artisan, equalling the work of many of the wood-workers of experi- ence. Thereafter he attended school only dur- ing the winter terms. In the autumn of 1846 he attended a select school in his village taught by brothers Ransom H. and Royal H. Porter, and subsequently received further instruction in the schools and academies in Fitzwilliam and Walpole, New Hampshire; Saxton's River, Vermont, and South Woodstock, Ver- mont. He was often associated with his brother, Rev. Sullivan H. McCollester, as as- sistant teacher, and it was mainly under the brother's tuition that he fitted himself for col- lege. In the winter of 1848-9 he taught the Fay Hill district school in Walpole. Dr. Me- Collester frequently alludes with pleasure to his experiences while "boarding around" as a district school teacher. The intelligence, ap- plication and interest of his pupils in this school he never found excelled in his later ex- perience. He taught this school two winters in succession. In 1851 he passed his college examination and entered the class that gradu- ated in 1853 from Norwich University, Nor- wich, Vermont, receiving the degree of A. B. In 1856 he received the degree of A. M. from his alma mater, and in 1900 he was given the honorary degree of LL. D. by the same insti- tution. He began the study of medicine, after graduating from college, as a student in the office of Dr. James Betcheller, of Marl- borough. He attended one course of medical lectures at the Dartmouth Medical School, and for five months in 1855 was an assistant phy- sician to Dr. Moriarty and quarantine doctor at the hospital on Deer Island, Boston. In October, 1855, he went to Philadelphia to" attend lectures at Jefferson Medical College, and in March, 1856, received his degree of M. D. from that institution. He began to practice his profession in May, 1856, in South Deer- field, Massachusetts, and continued until the

fall of that year, when he located at Groton Junction, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, now Ayer. Here and in the surrounding towns he practiced until May, 1862, when he volunteered as surgeon in the civil war. He was assigned to duty in the field and in hos- pital during and after the disastrous campaign of MeClellan on the Peninsula. In Novem- ber. 1862, he was commissioned surgeon of the Fifty-third Regiment Massachusetts Vol- unteers, and was on duty with the regiment during its active and arduous campaign in Louisiana. He was mustered out at the ex- piration of his term of enlistment, September 2, 1863. His military service was characterized by professional and executive ability of a high order. He was indefatigable in his efforts for the wounded, in attending his patients and in guarding the health of the regiment. He never hesitated on account of danger to at- tend the wounded under fire. He gained the respect and confidence of his superior officers as well as of the men in the ranks.
He resumed his practice at Groton and con- tinued until 1869, when he removed to the adjacent town of Harvard. He had an exten- sive and growing practice, and became one of the best known physicians of that section. In 1887 he removed to Waltham, Massachusetts, where he has lived since, having a large prac- tice there. as well as among many of his old patients in Groton and Harvard. He was appointed examining surgeon for the United States invalid pensioners in 1864, an office he held until 1876, when the professional duties of his practice demanded his resignation. Dr. McCollester stands high in the opinion of his brethren of the medical profession and in the confidence and esteem of his patients, and the Fitchburg railroad officials hold him high in their esteem, for professional services rendered to their employees. His attractive personality doubtless has had much to do with his popu- larity and success as a physician. Kind and courteous to all, he has made it a rule and practice always to treat the indigent sick with the same care and consideration that he would give to the wealthy and distinguished patient. To his power of awaking hope and inspiring courage in the sick he owes much of his suc- cess. He has the qualities of mind and heart that attract friends and keep them.
In politics Dr. McCollester is a Republican. While in Groton he was for seven years a member of the school committee, and while at Harvard was on the school committee three
years. He is interested in educational matters and has never lost his love of learning. He was a student of high rank in school and col- lege, especially in mathematics and sciences. He has often said that the want of precision in the meaning of words, the inexactness of languages, made literature and the classical branches less attractive to him than the exact sciences. In religion, Dr. McCollester is toler- ant of the views of others and liberal in his own beliefs. He is a communicant of the Episcopalian church. He is secretary of the G. S. Examining Surgeons ; has been a fellow of the Massachusetts Medical Society since 1856; he is a member of the Boston Library Association ; of the American Unitarian Asso- ciation ; charter member of Caleb Butler Lodge of Free Masons, of Ayer, Massachu- setts, and of Governor Gore Lodge, of Odd Fellows, of Waltham, Massachusetts; is past commander of E. P. H. Roger Post, No. 29, G. A. R., Waltham ; is a member of Waltham Chapter, R. A. M., and Gethsemane Com- mandery, K. T. He has been a justice of the peace by successive appointment for forty- seven years. He is president of the New Eng- land Alumni Society of the Jefferson Medical College : vice-president of the general associa- tion of the same college, and one of the trus- tees of the Norwich University, of Norwich, Vermont.

The name Hastings or Has- HASTINGS tang is older than the Nor- man Conquest in England. It is one of the oldest surnames. The castle and sea-port of Hastings were owned by the family that adopted this surname as early as 911, before the Normans were in Gaul. There was a Danish pirate, not of this family per- haps, who was a formidable foe of the Saxons occupying a part of Sussex. In nearly every county of England the family has established itself. Branches bearing coats-of-arms are found at Agmondisham, Buckshire : in Dorset- shire and Leicestershire; in Cambridgeshire ; in Gloucestershire and Derbyshire : in Ireland ; at Billesby, Lincolnshire; at Hinton, North- amptonshire : in Nottinghamshire and North- umberland; in Staffordshire, Yorkshire, Ox- fordshire and in Scotland.
Of the numerous coats-of-arms of Hastings. the American branch claims the following: A maunch sable. Crest : A buffalo's head eras- ed, sable, crowned and gorged with a ducal coronet, and armed or. Supporters: Two man tigers affrontee or. their visages resemb- ling the human face proper. Motto: In veri- tute victoria. (Meaning "In truth there is victory" ), Also: Honorantes me honorabo. A plate on which this armorial was engraved was brought to the country by the pioneer and descended ( not a direct line ) through Thomas (2). Dr. Waitstill (3), Hopestill (4). Dr. Seth (5). Dr. Seth (6), whose brother lost it about 1835 in the pursuit of one of those elusive, if not imaginary English estates. On one side were the arms as given above, and an antique ship with two flags; on the obverse the arms of England, viz: Three lions passant, guard- ant in pale, on the reverse of the seal St. Michael slaying the dragon.
(1) Deacon Thomas Hastings, immigrant ancestor, was born in England in 1605. Thomas, aged twenty-nine, and his wife Sus- anna, aged thirty-four, embarked at Ipswich.

He resided on the west side of School street, then called Hill street. He bequeathed the homestead to his son Samuel; to his son Thomas he gave only five pounds, saying. "I have been at great expense to bring him up a scholar, and I have given him above three score pounds to begin the world with." Children: 1. Thomas, born July 1. 1652, died July 23, 1712. 2.
