Lieutenant Fenno married, at Boston, De- cember 16, 1868, Eliza Ann Brooks, the cere- mony being performed by the Rev. Baron
Stow. She is a descendant of old Revolu- tionary stock of Antrim and Hollis, New Hampshire, and Concord and Newbury, Mass- achusetts. The first of the name in this line was Henry Brooks (I), who probably came from Scotland and landed at Boston, 1630. He was a selectman of Woburn, 1649; he married first, Susanna Richardson, and second, July 12, 1682, Annis Jaquith. The coat-of- arms illustrated is a blazoned sable, three escallops. Crest, a brave passant. Motto: Perseverando-by perservering. As to its heraldic significance, an escalloped shell was a token of the Crusades, and one of the Popes made a decree that it should be a charge borne only by the truly noble of birth. The follow- ing is copied from the "New England His- torical Genealogical Register," 1904, volume 58, published by the Society, 1904, page 48, by William R. Cutter and Arthur G. Loring, Esqs., of Woburn, Massachusetts : "Henry Brooks, a resident of Concord, Massachusetts, in 1639, having a wife and children previous to his coming to Woburn about 1650, married after arrival here, before March 27, 1651, Susanna, widow of Ezekiel Richardson. She, in 1670, was described by an authority of that time as 'an ancient and skilful woman, living at Wo- burn, famous for her attainments in medical science.' She died September 15, 1681. Henry Brooks married, probably for his second wife, Annis Jaquith, July 12, 1682, and died April 12, 1683."

(II) William Whittem Jenness, son of Joseph Whittem ( I), was born at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, August 25, 1861. He was brought up from early childhood by his mother's sister, Josephine Augusta Nutter, who married John M. Jenness. She had no children of her own. He attended the public schools of Alton and Center Barnstead, New Hampshire, the academy at Pittsfield, New Hampshire, where he was graduated, and Bates College at Lewiston, Maine, where he took the full classical course and received the degree of A. B. He then took a year at Bos- ton University and received his diploma (cum laude) at the end of the first year for a three years course. He studied law in the office of a Mr. Pray at Lancaster, New Hampshire, and was admitted to the bar of that state. He removed to Quincy, Massachusetts, 1888, and was associated in practice with Judge Bumpus, later forming a partnership with him under the firm name of Bumpus & Jenness. He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar, and won distinction in the practice of his profession. The firm of Bumpus & Jenness was dissolved and in the spring of 1900 Mr. Jenness took into his office George W. Abele, who had just graduated from Harvard Law School; just prior to Mr. Jenness' death, the firm name was changed to Jenness & Abele. For many years Mr. Jenness enjoyed the best law practice in Quincy, and was not only a leader of the bar but prominent in public life. He was promi- nently mentioned as a candidate for the office of mayor of Quincy, but declined the honor. He died at his home in Quincy, March 13, 1905. Mr. Jenness was a man of sterling character and extraordinary ability, a sincere and honest advocate who at all times worked conscientiously to maintain the interests of his clients, and he would have doubtless won an even greater fame as a lawyer and public char- acter but for his early death. He was a mem- ber of the Norfolk Bar Association, the Gran-

The only child of Mr. and Mrs. Jenness is William Whittem, Jr., born April 3, 1904, bap- tized December 10, 1904, by the Rev. William Edward Gardner; Dr. Nathaniel Stevens Hunting was his godfather and is now his legal guardian.

(I) Elder Hatevil Nutter, immigrant ances- tor of a numerous family in New Hampshire, Maine and northern Massachusetts, was born in England in 1603, according to his own deposition. He was one of the founders of Dover, New Hampshire, coming there in the company described as "of good estate and of some account for religion" who had been in- duced to leave England with Captain Wiggins in 1635 and found at Dover Neck a "Compact Town," which never extended farther than High street and Dirty lane, however. He was granted in 1637 a lot that was rebounded in 1640 butting on Newichawannock river. High street, land of Samuel Haynes and William Story. The cellar hole where his house stood in Dover is still visible. Ten pear trees are growing in the cellar from trees said to have been planted by the pioneer. The house was fifteen rods north-northeast of the nearest corner of the school-house which stands on the site of the old fortification. He had a grant of land in 1643 between the Lamprell and Oyster rivers, laid out to his son Anthony in 1662. He had another grant February 2, 1658-59, of land adjoining William Sheffield's for a farm. He gave his Welchman Cove property to his son Andrew to go to grandson, John, and February 13, 1670, land to son-in- law, John Wingate, and his daughter Mary. He was rich and respectable, disliked by the Quakers. He held many offices and served on
many important committees of town and church. No man in the colony was more active, enterprising and influential than he.
