formance, Riah remained in the church in good standing all his life. His first wife, Mary, died November 27, 1776, aged thirty- four ; his second wife, Mary, died December 8, 1797, aged fifty-five years. He died at Westminster, August 27, 1811. Children : Azariah, mentioned below, and others.
(V) Azariah Wright, son of Captain h Azariah Wright (4), was born in Westmin- ster, Vermont, about 1760. According to the census of 1790 Captain Azariah Wright had four males over sixteen and none under six- teen, besides three females in his family ; his brother Medad, also of Westminster, had five males over sixteen, three under, and three females. The history of Westminster and the town of Dummerston, where Azariah settled about 1790, are interwoven, but the records show that Azariah had a house there about 1800. The father was credited as second lieutenant on the official rolls, 1776. Azariah, Jr., was in Captain William Hutchins's com- pany in 1779: in Major Elkanah Day's com- pany, from Westminster, in 1780; in Captain Benjamin Wright's company, Colonel Brad- ley's regiment, 1782.
(VI) Bemis Wright, son of Azariah Wright (5), was born about 1790, in West- minster, or Dummerston. He lived in the adjacent town of Brattleboro.
(VII) Edward Erastus Wright, son of Bemis Wright (6), was born in Brattlebor- ough, Vermont, about 1825. He removed to Boston, Massachusetts, when a young man, followed the sea, and learned the trade of lead worker. He resided at one time at 45 Pleasant street, Charlestown, Massachusetts. He was a Methodist in religion ; a Republican in politics. He married Jane Medcalf, a native of Dublin, Ireland. Children, born in Charlestown : I.

(VIII) John Bemis Wright, son of Edward Erastus Wright (7), was born in Boston, February 27, 1854. He was educated in the public schools of his native city, and then engaged in several occupations suited to his years, until his mother died, leaving him at the age of fifteen entirely dependent upon his own resources. He was bound out as an ap- prentice in the blacksmith shop at the Charles- town navy yard, and remained until he was of age, when he received the usual diploma. At this time considerable dissatisfaction arose among the employees at the navy yard on account of the unjust suspension of many of them, and Mr. Wright exposed the matter in a series of letters printed in the Boston Herald. A reward offered by the commandant for the discovery of the anonymous author of these letters led to the blacklisting of Mr. Wright, terminating his connection with the navy yard. While he might have been very useful to the world in a government black- smith shop, this result of his attempt to re- form things in the navy yard gave to the newspaper world an exceedingly useful mem- ber. He prepared for a career as a reporter by studying shorthand, while serving his ap- prenticeship in the blacksmith shop, and he surmounted many practical difficulties in ac- quiring the art while his working hours were fully employed. He kept hanging before him in the blacksmith shop a great piece of sheet iron on which he wrote with chalk the steno- graphic characters, studying and memorizing them when blowing the bellows. He came to be a rapid and accurate reporter, giving his days and nights to this work after leaving the forge. He began his newspaper career on the Manchester Union (New Hampshire). after- wards joining the staff of the Woonsocket Patriot (Rhode Island ). Thence he came to Boston and filled a position as reporter for the Daily News. After a short time he went to the Boston Herald, where he made one of the most brilliant records as a news writer, achieving a national reputation. While he was police and court reporter he reported the Mable Young case, the Conway case in New Hampshire in 1878-9. the Barron case in Dexter, Maine; the Buzzell case, and many other noted murders, displaying remarkable detective ability. He made a study of fires in

every way, and performed some remarkable feats in reporting conflagrations and fires of an unusual character. His aptitude and stic- cess kept him in close touch with the police authorities, who profited wisely by his infor- mation and suggestions. Through his efforts a conspiracy on the part of some rascally pri- vate detectives to commit incendiarism and convict innocent persons of the crime, for the purpose of securing rewards and gaining a reputation for ferreting out crime, was re- vealed, and the guilty ones punished. When the famous Buzzell case was tried the second time in New Hampshire courts, Mr. Wright, who believed the accused innocent of the crime for which he was hanged, was so severe in his criticism of the court that contempt proceedings were begun against him, and his escape from punishment was probably due to his keeping outside the jurisdiction of the court. His theory of innocence was based on information that he had of the unreliability of the witnesses who were used in the second trial, and the correctness of his judgment was confirmed by the statement of the boy who was said to have held the gun when the fatal shot was fired at the instigation of Buzzell, that he had been paid by the detectives em- ployed on the case to give the incriminating testimony. This confession was not made, however, until the condemned man was hanged.
When General Benjamin F. Butler made his famous political campaign which resulted in his election as governor of Massachusetts. Mr. Wright followed him over the State, re- porting all his speeches, a tremendous piece of work,-for, as is well known. the General was a hard man to follow in every sense of the term, his speech was rapid, and his speeches many. The accuracy of his report- ing so won the approval of the speaker that when he was elected, he made Mr. Wright his stenographic secretary, a position he held during the erratic gubernatorial career of the hero of New Orleans. Mr. Wright did good service for the Herald in giving it early news from the executive chamber, and his experi- ence qualified him so well for the work that he was taken back on the staff, when he was needed no longer at the state house, and he held the position of political reporter. Mr. Wright never lost faith in General Butler and, though he undoubtedly had good cause to dis- trust the sincerity of his chief on many occa- sions, he remained loyal to him to the end. Upon his return to the Herald, Mr. Wright
soon became the assistant city editor, in charge also of the political news, and his writing under the name, "The Sentinel at the Outside Gate," attracted widespread attention. In March, 1889, he was made head of the de- partment of special writers, a position he re- signed in the following September to take possession of the Haverhill Gasette, a daily newspaper, which he bought at that time. During the time Mr. Wright was editor and managing proprietor of that newspaper he placed it in the front rank of Republican journals in Massachusetts. He was bold and aggressive in all his undertakings and never shirked a duty, however disagrceable. Once. when doing night locals for the Herald. while passing Hanover street in company with an- other reporter, he saw three men assaulting a sailor. Without a moment's hesitation the two reporters went to the assistance of the sailor. but the odds were against them, and they sought refuge in an Italian fruit store. followed by the toughs and the rough and tumble fight that ensued attracted the atten- tion of the police. Before the identity of the reporters was revealed Mr. Wright received a severe clubbing, but he did not retreat until he had seen his assailants safely lodged in the police station. Then he returned to the office and resumed his work as though nothing un- usual had happened.
Mr. Wright was a member of Haverhill Lodge. Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks : of Palestine Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and of the Pentucket Club of Haverhill. Per- sonally he was very attractive, and won many friends. He was a natural reporter. a jour- nalist of great discretion and discernment. Ile was a brilliant writer, entertaining and clever in handling the simplest subject. His force of character, his piquant and virile edi- torial work on the Gazette, won him a leading position among the editors of the common- wealth. He died at the prime of life. at what promised to be the best years of his life, when he had entered upon a congenial task as an independent editor and publisher of his own newspaper. His death was a loss not only to the city of Haverhill but to the whole state. He died October 17. 1900, after an illness of two months, of a complication of diseases. He was an Episcopalian in religion.
He married May 1, 1878, Addie F. Taylor, born in Charlestown, sister of General Charles HI. Taylor, publisher of the Boston Globe, and daughter of John Ingalls and Abigail R. (Hapgood) Taylor. (See Hapgood family).

HAPGOOD This surname, more com- monly spelled Habgood in England. is very ancient, as tlie simplicity of the arms show, as follows : Or, on an anchor between three fishes maiant, azure ; crest, a sword and quill in saltire pro- per. The name is also found spelled Hopgood. The name is first found in England in 1600, when six of the name made their wills ; John Hopgood, of Andover, 1608: Jolin Habgood, the elder, yeoman, of Andover, 1615; Widow Joan Hapgood, of Tangley, February 21, 1603; William Hopgood, tanner, son of Wil- liam, of North Stoneham, 1611; Thomas Hopgood, husbandman, of Mottisfont, 1617; and John Hopgood of Tangley, probably son of Joan Hapgood, of Tangley, widow, 1638. These were members of the same family, as shown by the wills. John Hopgood, of An- dover, whose will was proved in 1608, is sup- posed to have been the father of John of the same place, who in 1615 had a wife Alice, and eight children, five of whom were: John, Katherine, Mary (wife of Henry Reade), Anne, and Alice, all of age ; and Robert, Clare and Thomas, then minors. This Thomas was probably the father of Shadrach, mentioned below.
(I) Shadrach Hapgood, immigrant ances- tor of all the New England families of that name, was born abont 1642, in England. When fourteen years of age he embarked from Gravesend, May 30, 1656, in the ship "Speedwell," Robert Lock, master, and in July of that year arrived at Boston. He went to Sudbury, where he had a cousin, Thomas Haynes, and October 21, 1664, married there Elizabeth Treadway, born April 3, 1646, daughter of Nathaniel Treadway, afterwards of Watertown, and Sufferance (Howe) Treadway, daughter of Elder Edward and Margaret Howe of Watertown, who claim descent from Lord Howe, an English peer. On January 25, 1676, he served with his
cousin Peter Noyes and Edmund Goodnow, as appraiser of the estate of Joseph Davis, of Sudbury. He petitioned for a grant in 1678-9, and with others proceeded to take possession of the land which afterwards was incorpo- rated as the town of Stow. He had fifty acres on the south side of the Assabet river, and cleared the land. Before he could remove his family from Sudbury, however, the outbreak of the Indians in King Philip's war occurred, and he was summoned to the field. August 2, 1675, the company of twenty men, under Cap- tains Hutchinson and Wheeler, agreed to meet the Indians and treat with them. They were surrounded by two hundred Indians in ambush, and eight of their number killed. Among the killed was Shadrach Hapgood. His wife Elizabeth (married second Joseph Hayward of Concord, and had four children) was appointed to administer his estate, which was appraised at one hundred and forty-five pounds two shillings, September 2, 1675. Oct- ober 5, 1675, she presented a new inventory, valued at one hundred and six pounds eleven shillings, praying for an abatement of the dif- ference in consequence of the burning of the house by the enemy. The record says "There are five children left of "Sydrack." Children: I. Nathaniel, born October 21, 1665; married Elizabeth Ward, of Marlbor- ough. 2. Mary, born November 2, 1667 ; married April 10, 1688, John Whitney. 3. Thomas, born October 1, 1669; mentioned below. 4. Sarah, born 1672; married, 1691, Jonathan Whitney. 5. Elizabeth, born 1674; died July 20, 1689; married probably Edwin Brown, whose estate she administered.
(II) Thomas Hapgood, son of Shadrach Hapgood (I), was born October 1, 1669. He settled in Marlborough, and purchased be- tween the years 1694 and 1711 five different tracts of land from different persons, and this enabled him to draw at subsequent divisions a large amount of land. He owned and occu- pied at one time between five hundred and seven hundred acres, several farms of which still remain in the hands of his descendants. The spot where he encamped the first night on arriving here and the location of his house was about four miles from the house of his brother Nathaniel, in Stow, two miles south of Feltonville, forty rods southwest of Round Hill, and four or six rods east of a spring; it is still pointed out. Later, in 1714, he pur- chased the right to eighty acres on the north side of Quinsigamond Pond, where his son Thomas settled. He was once chosen select-

man, and in 1704 one of the garrison houses in Marlborough was named for him. Novem- ber 12, 1703, he petitioned the general court for an allowance, alleging that "he having, in 1690, been detached into the service against the Indian enemy, was engaged in the bloody fight near Oyster River, New Hampshire, wherein Captain Noah Wiswell and others were slain and wounded : that he then had his left arm broken and his right hand much shot, so that he endured great pain and narrowly escaped with his life: that he was thereby much disabled for labor and getting his live- lihood: forced to sell what stock he had ac- quired before being wounded to maintain him- self since, and that in the fight he was neces- sitated to leave and lose his arms with which he was well furnished at his own charge." The court granted him five pounds. He died October 4, 1764, in his ninety-fifth year. and an English publication said "Died, at Marl- boro', New England, in the ninety-fifth year of his age, Mr. Thomas Hapgood. Ilis pos- terity was very numerous, viz. : nine children, ninety-two grandchildren, two hundred and eight great-grandchildren; and four great- great-grandchildren ; in all, three hun- dred and thirteen. His grandchildren saw their grandchildren and their grandfather at the same time." A double headstone marks the graves of him and his wife in the old Marlborough cemetery. His will was dated June 10. 1760, and proved October 31. 1763. The estate was inventoried at over five hun- dred and thirty pounds, and he had in his life- time given each of his sons farms.

They resided in Charles- town, where all their children were born. Children: 1. Mary Elizabeth Taylor, born Jan- uary 15, 1843; married August 16, 1867, R. L. Spear, of Boston, who died June 12, 1892. 2. Charles Henry Taylor, born July 14, 1846; married, February 7, 1866, Georgianna Olivia Davis ; was educated in the public schools and at the age of fifteen was employed in a gen- eral printing office in Boston, in which the Massachusetts Ploughman and the Christian Register were set up; worked in the Boston Traveler office in 1861 in various capacities ; at sixteen enlisted in the Thirty-eighth Regi- ment Massachusetts Volunteers, and served a year and a half under General N. P. Banks; was badly wounded in the assault upon Port Hudson, and honorably discharged. He re- entered the Traveler office, and after some time in the composing room became a re- porter, and soon made his mark as an intelli-
gent and ready writer with a nose for news; at this time he learned shorthand, and did much work in that line ; also earned consider- able reputation as a correspondent for papers in other cities, his letters to the New York Tribune and Cincinnati Times attracting much attention. January 1, 1869, he became private secretary to Governor William Claflin, later a member of his military staff, with rank of colonel : in 1872 was elected representative to the general court from Somerville, and re- elected the following year ; defeated William S. Robinson in 1873 for clerkship of the house. In August he took charge of the Boston Globe, a new paper trying to get a foothold; after five years without much suc- cess, he reorganized the paper into a Demo- cratic two-cent daily conducted on popular lines, and this proved to be the turning point in the fortunes of the paper; the record of the Globe is one of the romances of daily journalism, and places Charles H. Taylor's name among the first in journalism. 3. George William Taylor, born February 24, 1850; died March 10, 1868. 4.

The name Tapley is common TAPLEY in England, and there are vari- ous spellings, among them Tap- leigh, Topley, Topping, Toppan, Tapling and Topling. It is supposed to be a place-name, found in Cheshire. Branches of the family lived in the early part of the seventeenth cen- tury in Marldon and Paignton, near Exeter, England. The earliest record of the family is in 1553, of a John Tapley of Dawlish. There are two coats-of-arms recorded for the Tap- ley family ; Gules, on a fess between three escallops argent a lion passant azure ; and the following ; Gules, on a fess between three crosses crosslet fitchee, argent, a lion passant azure.
