(VII) Lucius Hubbard Kendall, son of Eliezer Kendall (6), was born at Rochester, Vermont, February 12, 1817, and was killed by an explosion of dynamite at Norfolk, Vir- ginia. At an early age he removed with his parents to Granville, Vermont, where his youth was spent in schooling and assisting his father on the farm. When young he learned the trades of carpenter and shoemaker, and be- came proficient in both. After his marriage he removed to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was employed by Cyrus Rice, who superin- tended the building of the Harvard College dormitories at that time. IIe lived on the site which is now the corner of Massachusetts ave- nuc and Everett street. Subsequently he was employed by Samuel Davis, a butcher at Brighton, and later worked for him as meat cutter in his market at Harvard Square for a number of years. He then went back to Gran- ville and bought a one hundred and sixty acre farm at North Hollow, of Amos Rice, his father-in-law. In 1868 he sold it to Oscar Amy, and leased the Rufus Hubbard farm at South Hollow. He followed farming in the same way that his father had done, and in addition was a contractor and buildler. and erected many buildings in and around Gran- ville. He got out all his building materials, even to shingles. In March, 1870, lie removed to Lexington, Massachusetts, and bought a farm of Paul 11. Whitcomb, on Bedford street, in the north part of the town. He did general farming and market gardening until Septem- ber 12, 1882, when he went to Norfolk, Vir- ginia, to work at the carpenter's trade, which he continued until his death. Mr. Kendall was a Republican in politics, and, while living in Granville, served as tax collector. He was brought up in the Methodist religion, but he and his family attended the Unitarian church at Lexington. IIe was a very active man, and possessed great mechanical ingenuity, being able to do almost any kind of work. He was a man of happy disposition, enjoying a joke. and made many friends. He married Melissa Rice, October 20, 1841, born at Weathersfield, Ver-

mont, November 3, 1821, died at Lexington, Massachusetts, March 15, 1899, daughter of Amos and Annie ( Whiting) Rice, of Pomfret, Vermont. Children: 1.

Char- lotte Melissa Amy, born February 24, 1866, married October 9, 1888, William Albert Lis- ter, of Allston, born at Brooklyn, New York, September 30, 1856, and had Amee Carlotta Lister, born July 1. 1889, and Helen Frances Lister, born September 20, 1893 ; ii.

(VIII) Francis Edgar Kendall, son of Lu- cius Hubbard Kendall (7), was born at Gran- ville, Vermont, July 8, 1848. He received his education in the public schools of his native town, supplemented by a course in the West Randolph (Vermont) Academy under Dr. George Dutton. He assisted his father about the farm, and worked at farming and lumber- ing for about four years after he graduated from school. He removed with his parents to Lexington, Massachusetts, and there they bought the farm known as the old Joshua Simonds tavern site. The farm was later ceeded to the mother, who sold it to Francis E. and John W. Kendall. The father and sons started at market gardening. Four acres was devoted to the growth of cucumbers for pick- les. and the product was- sold to Jacob Emer- son, who manufactured pickles in the old pow- der house on Powder House Hill in Somer- ville. The Kendalls sold cucumbers to Mr. Emerson for fifteen years, but soon after the death of their father, discontinued. They have since continued at general market garden- ing and milk raising, having a herd of twenty head of cattle at the present time. Mr. Fran- cis Kendall attends to the marketing of the produce, while his brother, John W. Kendall. has charge of the cultivation. Both brothers are highly respected in the community and are
men of strong character. They attend the Lexington Unitarian church. In politics they are Republican, and Francis Kendall has been more or less active in politics, serving as dele- gate to various conventions. They are mem- bers of the Boston Market Gardeners' Asso- ciation. Francis Kendall was formerly a mem- ber of the Lexington Minute Men, a private company drilled by United States Army officers. Mr. Kendall is unmarried.
(VIII) John Winfield Scott Kendall, broth- er of Francis Edgar Kendall (8), was born September 7, 1846. His youth was spent much the same as that of his brother, and he went into partnership with him in the business. His life has run nearly parallel with that of his brother. He married, November 19, 1907, Grace Mildred Wheeler, born at Lexington January 22, 1889, daughter of Charles E. and Iva (Dyer) Wheeler. Her father was a printer by trade.
Isaac Arnold, immigrant an- ARNOLD cestor of the family here under consideration. was one of thir- teen Puritan fathers who in 1640 fled from civil and religious persecution in the mother country and the same year set foot on the friendly soil of Connecticut. There, October 21, 1640, their pastoral leader, Rev. Mr. Young, "gathered his church anew," under the direction of Rev. John Davenport, minister, and Governor Theophilus Eaton of the New Haven colony. It has been mistakenly assert- ed that this Isaac Arnold is the common an- cestor of all the Arnolds in this country, but there were those of the same surname in the colonies several years previous to his arrival ; and while he is presumed to have been the an- cestor of a distinct branch of the general Ar- nold family there is room for the belief that he was of kin to the Rhode Island family, al- though a careful search of records does not reveal the name of an Isaac among them.
Isaac Arnold was a very worthy and up- right man, and was chosen to represent his townsmen and church in the conference held at Jamaica, Long Island, in 1673, and either he or his son of the same name was the first county judge of Suffolk county, Long Island, in 1693. It is from this Isaac Arnold that de- scends the family here treated, although on ac- count of an almost total absence of reliable records there appears no present means by which to complete the line of descent from Isaac the ancestor to the generation of the brothers Daniel and Dyer Arnold, who dwelt

in Berlin, Rensselaer county, New York, in the very early part of the nineteenth century. Dyer Arnold was a tanner by trade and as early as 1810 removed to Peru, New York, bought thirty acres of land and set up a tan- nery there. Daniel Arnold, brother of Dyer, lived several years on a farm in Berlin, but spent the latter part of his life among his chil- dren in Peru, where he died at the advanced age of ninety-one years. His eldest son was Eleazer, and besides him there was Laban, Alvah, Ashley, Daniel, Louisa (who married David Spencer ), Polly and Sally Ann.
In 1819 Eleazer and Laban Arnold left their father's farm in Berlin and went to Clinton ; and as they went over from Taylor to Hal- lock Hill they stopped in the road and divided equally their money, which in all amounted to about five dollars. Eleazer hired out by the month, and Laban went to work in the tan- nery owned by his uncle, Dyer Arnold. In 1824 Eleazer and his brother-in-law, David Spencer, bought a farm together, and in 1827 Eleazer and Laban bought out Mr. Spencer's interest.
In 1835 Eleazer Arnold, who appears to have been a man of considerable enterprise, pur- chased the Harkness farm, afterward secured the Miller farm and still later bought the Hal- lock farm, the latter two of which he kept un- til the time of his death, in 1888. He moved to the Hallock farm in 1851, and afterward made his home there. He married Sally, daughter of Thomas Miller, and she died in 1844, leaving sons George, Henry Stutely and Harrison, and daughters Jane Ann, who mar- ried Richard Thew, and Sally M. Another son, Franklin, older than George, died when quite young. Henry M. died when a young man, and Stutely, who was a soldier of the civil war, died about 1864. After the death of his wife Sally, Eleazer Arnold married Mariette Gordon, who died about 1852, leav- ing a daughter.
Laban Arnold, son of Daniel, married Katie Beardsley, and by her had two sons, Henry and Richard; and four daughters, Hannah, Sarah, Maria and Clarissa. After the death of his first wife he married Delia Ann Gaines, by whom he had two daughters, Elma and Olive. He died in 1866.
Alvah Arnold, son of Daniel, was born in Ausable, New York, August 2, 1801, and was a good thrifty farmer. He married Betsey Miller, born February 26, 1804, daughter of Thomas and Keziah (Sherrill) Miller. Thomas Miller settled on a farm on the northwest
slope of Hallock Hill in 1804, on lands for- merly owned by Mr. Herkness, who in 1812 sold to Jeremiah Sherrill, and the latter in 1817, "in consideration of love, good will and esteem," conveyed the same to his daughter Keziah Miller. She died in 1838, and her husband died in 1852. He was a millwright by trade, an excellent workman and some of the buildings erected by him are still standing. Thomas and Keziah Miller had five daughters : Cornelia, married Samuel Boorne; Phebe, married Emanuel Beardsley; Sally, married Eleazer Arnold; Betsey, married Alvah Ar- nold; Maria, became wife of Edward South- wick.
Frank T. Arnold, Sr., son of Alvah and Betsey ( Miller) Arnold, born in Keeseville, or perhaps Ausable, New York, July 6, 1834, died in Peabody, Massachusetts, March 12, 1900. He lived in the town in which he was born until he was about twenty years old, then removed to Peabody and made his home with the family of his aunt. He had been brought up to farm work, but in Peabody was employed as clerk in a grocery store until about the beginning of the civil war. He en- listed September 10, 1862, in Company C, Fifth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Cap- tain Robert S. Daniels, and served nine months, until the expiration of the term of his enlistment, and was discharged and mustered out of service at Wenham, Massachusetts, July 2, 1863.
After his return from the south, Mr. Ar- nold became senior partner of the firm of Ar- nold & Hutchinson, general grocers and provi- sion dealers in Peabody, but in 1866 Mr. Ar- nold withdrew from the firm and became junior partner in the firm of Munroe & Ar- nold, general expressmen, with principal place of business in Peabody. This partnership was continued with good success until 1891, when Mr. Munroe died, and his son Frederick suc- ceeded to his father's interest and the business was carried on under that arrangement until 1900, when Mr. Arnold died. From that time until 1905 the business was conducted by the younger Munroe and the legal representatives of the Arnold estate ; and in September, 1905, the entire business passed to the ownership and management of the newly incorporated Munroe-Arnold-Merritt Express Company, of which William F. Munroe is president ; George R. Felt, treasurer ; and Frank T. Arnold, Jr., manager.
During the many years of his residence in Peabody, Mr. Arnold proved himself to be an
i-20

enterprising, capable and successful business man, and he always seemed to feel an earnest interest in the growth and welfare of the town and by his own public spirit and liberality con- tributed much to that growth and prosperity. He was one of the most effective working members of the board of trade, and in many other ways was closely identified with the best interests and history of Peabody for many years.
At Keeseville, New York, July 12, 1865, Mr. Arnold married Jennie K. Ricketson, who was born there November 18, 1842, and died in Peabody December 17, 1906, daughter of James K. and Jemima ( Hallock) Ricketson, who were married February 2, 1826. Both were members of the Society of Friends. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold had two children, both born in Peabody: Jennie Miller, born March 18, 1873, married October 31, 1900, George Ropes Felt (see Felt family), and Frank T., Jr., born June 12, 1875.
Frank T. Arnold, Jr., only son of Frank T. and Jennie K. (Ricketson) Arnold, was born in Peabody, June 12, 1875, and since the death of his father, in 1900, has been actively en- gaged in the express business established by his parents more than forty years ago. He was one of the incorporators of the Munroe- Arnold-Merritt Express Company. On June 4, 1904, Mr. Arnold married Grace Louise Wheeler, born in Peabody, November 30, 1876, daughter of Walter E. Wheeler. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold have one child, Caroline.
FELT (I) George Felt, born 1601, is said by tradition to have come to America in 1628 with Endecott, and in 1633 appears in Charlestown, Massa- chusetts, where he had a houselot granted him and other lands at various times. He evidently was a man of some consequence, and fulfilled important offices in the town and church until he removed to North Yarmouth, Maine, in 1643. He was the principal founder of that town and had large tracts of land there, but in the course of a few years he went to Wes- custogo, and thence returned to Charlestown, where he settled on "the Mystic side," in Mal- den. In 1664 he was again in Maine and in a deed made in that year describes himself as of "Casco in New England, mason." He ap- pears to have acquired large tracts of land in Maine, and in 1670 increased his already con- siderable possessions by the purchase of two thousand acres more at Broad Cove, for which he paid only sixty pounds. Much of this land
was afterward sold, although he retained enough to provide well for his sons. But with all his vast areas of land George Felt died poor, and the records disclose that both he and his wife became charges on the town of Malden, where they died, he in 1693, aged ninety-two years, and his wife in 1694, “much advanced in years." His wife before her mar- riage was Elizabeth, daughter of widow Pru- dence Wilkinson of Charlestown. They had six children, perhaps seven, there being a doubt whether one Peter was of their family. Those known to be their children were Elizabeth, Mary, George, Moses (died young), Aaron and Moses.
(II) George Felt, son of George and Eliza- beth, baptized 1639-40, lived first in Salem, Massachusetts, later at Casco Bay, Maine, was made freeman at Falmouth in 1660, served as juror at Casco in 1666, and in 1672 was one of three purchasers of a large tract of land from the Indians. In 1676, during King Philip's war, he was killed by Indians. He married, November 25, 1662, Philippa An- drews, born 1632, daughter of Samuel and Jane Andrews, who came from London in the "Increase" from London in 1635, with their two daughters. After the death of George Felt his widow removed to Salem and married there second, December 19, 1682, Samuel Platt. After his death she married third, 1690, Thomas Nelson, being his third wife. She died September 29, 1709. George and Philippa (Andrews) Felt had four children : George, Samuel, Jonathan and Mary.
(III) Jonathan Felt, son of George and Philippa ( Andrews) Felt, born probably in Falmouth, removed to Salem about 1690, and by trade was an "ankersmith," from which it is inferred that he engaged largely in making ship anchors. He died 1702, leaving an estate inventoried at more than 187 pounds. He mar- ried in Salem, January 3, 1695, Elizabeth Pur- chase, of Marblehead, and after her death he married, before 1701, Elizabeth, daughter of John and Hannah (Ling) Blaney. He had two children by his first and one by his second marriage : Elizabeth, born 1695, married George Trask ; Jonathan, 1699; Hannah, April 2, 1702, married Edward Britton, Jr.
(IV) Jonathan Felt, son of Jonathan and Elizabeth ( Purchase) Felt, born in Salem, March 4, 1699, died before 1753. In the Salem records he is mentioned as "ffisherman" and also as blacksmith. He married July 26, 1721, Hannah, daughter of Nathaniel and De- borah (Tompkins) Silsbee ; children: Jona-

than, John, Elizabeth, Nathaniel, David and Joseph.
(V) Captain John Felt, son of Jonathan and Hannah (Silsbee) Felt, born in Salem, died in Danvers, Massachusetts, August, 1785. His occupation was that of "shoreman," but he was chiefly engaged in the coasting trade, owning several vessels; and besides this he is said to have been a skillful cordwainer, also a merchant and had a large warehouse where he stored his goods brought in his ships from the West Indies. Felt street in Salem is laid out through lands once owned by him, and that thoroughfare is named in allusion to him. He is described as a tall, muscular man, without physical fear, and just the man for the emer- gency which arose in February, 1775, when a strong detachment of British soldiers under command of Colonel Leslie invaded Salem and were met by Captain Felt with such firmness and determination that the British officer dis- creetly withdrew from the town and thus trans- fcrred the first battlefield of the revolution to another place. Had it been otherwise, the first conflict at arms would have taken place near the north bridge in Salem. His military title came from his connection with the Essex county militia and it is not understood that he was actually in service during the war.
In 1777 Captain Felt purchased land in Dan- vers, also a "pew in the Rev. Mr. Holt's meet- ing house," removed to that town and passed the remainder of his life there, on a farm. He died 1785, leaving an estate which inven- toried of the value of more than 4,700 pounds, real and personal property. He married first, January 1, 1750-51, Deborah, daughter of Ephraim and Margaret (Silsbee) Skerry ; second, May 19, 1757, widow Catherine Tur- ner, daughter of John and Catherine (Man- ning) Berry. She was born June 21. 1730, and died 1803. Captain Felt had two children by his first and eight by his second wife: Hannah, married Joseph Blaney; John, born September 16, 1754; George, April 23. 1758, died March 8. 1774: Catherine, January 27, 1760, married Edward Brown : Deborah. June 2. 1765, died young; Joseph, baptized March I. 1767 : Ephraim, baptized December 4, 1768. died at sea; Benjamin, December 11, 1770; Deborah, June 13. 1773: George Washington, born April 30. 1776.
(VI) Lieutenant John Felt, son of Captain John and Deborah (Skerry) Felt, born in Salem, September 16. 1754, died there Septem- ber 12, 1796. He was a mariner, and followed the sea during the greater part of his life, and
during the revolution served with great credit to the country, himself and to his own brave and patriotic father. In 1778 he was a soldier in the expedition to Rhode Island and served with the famous Salem company, full one hundred strong, under General John Sullivan. In 1779 he was lieutenant of a company in Colonel Shepard's Third Massachusetts regiment. He married, February 13, 1780, Mary Porter, born in Salem, January 25, 1762, died December 27. 1817. daughter of Jonathan and Sarah ( Herrick) Porter of Salem. Chil- dren: 1.

(VII) Ephraim Felt, son of Lieutenant John and Mary (Porter) Felt, born in Salem, February 16, 1795. died there December 7, 1872. He was a merchant in Salem until 1828, then went to Utica, New York, about the time of the opening of the Erie canal, engaged in business in that locality until the fall of 1834. and then returned to Salem. From that time until 1858 he was in the service of the Eastern Railroad Company - as bookkeeper until 1839. later as chief clerk and still later as ticket agent at Salem. From 1861 to 1869 he was an inspector of customs of the port of Salem. His career as a merchant in his home town and at Utica was not rewarded with the success his honest efforts deserved, for he was at all times an industrious, patient and per- severing man. Ile married, October 26, 1822, Elizabeth Ropes, born in Salem, April 19, 1708. died there November 28, 1873, daughter of George and Seeth (Millett) Ropes. Children : I.
