(IV) Samuel (2), eldest son of Samuel (1) and Mercy (Leonard) Robinson, was born in Hardwick, Massachusetts, August 15, 1738. He was brought up in Bennington, Vermont, and after his father died in London, England, in 1768, he was chosen by the people of the town to succeed him as committeeman in the controversy over the New Hampshire grants. He was a captain early in the war of the Re- volution and was in command of a Bennington company in the battle of Bennington and dur- ing the war rose to the rank of colonel. He was the "overseer of the Tory prisoners"


1777-78, represented the town in the general assembly of Vermont, 1779-80, and was a member of the board of war. He was the first justice of the peace of the town of Bennington, appointed under the authority of the new state of Vermont in 1778, and a justice of the special court for the south shire of the county and as such presided at the trial of Redding. "He was a generous and large minded man, upright and enterprising, and kindly in manner and of decided natural ability and ready courage," says a biographer who was fully competent to estimate his character. He married Mary Leon- ard and had a son Marcus (q. v.).


(V) Marcus, son of Captain Samuel (2) and Mary (Leonard) Robinson, was born in Hardwick, Massachusetts, October 3, 1799. He married, about 1833, Deborah Brown, of Hardwick, Massachusetts, and lived in that town where seven children were born to them as follows: William, Marcus Franklin (q v.), Melissa, Caroline, Susan, Louisa, and one daughter whose name is unknown.


(VI) Marcus Franklin, second son of Mar- cus and Deborah (Brown) Robinson, was born Hardwick, Massachusetts, July 2, 1834. He was educated in his native town and in Pelham, to which place his parents removed during his early life. From this town, as a young man, he went to Amherst where he learned the jewelry trade and later started a retail jewelry store at Chicopee, which he conducted until ill health caused him to return to his old home in Pelham and recuperate. He again started in business, opening his store on the site of the present Five Cent Savings Bank. He moved his business several times until April, 1907, when it was installed in its present loca- tion, 360 Main street, Springfield. Mr. Rob- inson conducted business alone until 1899, when he took into partnership his son, W. A. H. Robinson, and since then the firm has been known as Robinson & Son. For some years prior to his decease Mr. Robinson's health had been so poor that he could not take any active part in the concern, which has been practically in the hands of his son. In early life he mar- ried Mary A. Tucker, daughter of Edwin Post and Mary Rice (Dwight) Tucker, of Belchertown. Edwin P. Tucker was born in Enfield, Massachusetts; he was a manufac- turer of straw bonnets and palm leaf hats in Belchertown, Massachusetts, and afterwards was a hotel keeper in New York, Philadelphia, Springfield and Palmer, Massachusetts, at the latter place conducting the Nassawanna Hotel, where he died January 21, 1857, and his widow

died January 8, 1887. Children of Marcus Franklin and Mary A. (Tucker) Robinson were born in Springfield, Massachusetts, as follows: I. Grace Edna, April 5, 1867. 2. William Arthur Hawes, December 9, 1869, succeeded to his father's business as jeweler in Springfield, 1908; married, June 23, 1897, Grace, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Reilley) Denver, born September 4, 1871 ; one child, William Franklin, born July 5, 1898. In the death of Marcus Franklin Robinson, which occurred November 14, 1907, of heart failure, at his home, 46 Byers street, Spring- field, the jewelry trade of Springfield lost one of its oldest, most prominent and most re- spected members, he having conducted a store there for nearly forty years. His death was not unexpected, as he had been ill for five or six weeks, and in fact had been in poor health for many years. His widow, a son and daughter survive him.


BRADFORD The surname Bradford is derived from the name of a place, Broadford or Braden- ford. There are two very ancient towns of this name, one in Wiltshire, England, near Bath, and one in Yorkshire, near Leeds. Near the latter was the home of the ancestors of the American family. The family dates back in England doubtless to the beginning of sur- names in the eleventh or twelfth centuries. One of the first martyrs burned at the stake during the reign of Bloody Mary was John Bradford, Prebend of St. Paul and a cele- brated preacher. He was born in Manchester, Lancashire, 1510, and was executed July I, 1555. He was a friend of Rogers, Hooper, Saunders, Latimer, Cranmer and Ridley, who also died at the stake about the same time. The Bradford coat-of-arms is: Argent on a fesse sable three stags' heads erased or. Right Reverend Father in God, Samuel Bradford, Lord Bishop of Rochester and Dean of West- minster, bore these arms as well as those of his Episcopal See. The ancestry of Governor William Bradford has not been traced beyond his grandfather, mentioned below, though it is known that the family is ancient.


(I) William Bradford, grandfather of Gov- ernor William Bradford, lived at Austerfield (Oster feldt), county Nottingham, England, and in 1575 he and John Hanson were the only subsidiaries located there. Bradford was taxed twenty shillings on land; Hanson the same amount on goods. His grandson William (gov- ernor) lived with him after the death of Will-


iam, his son. The date of his burial at Auster- field was January 10, 1595-96. Children : I. William, mentioned below. 2. Thomas, had a daughter Margaret, baptized March 9, 1578, at Austerfield. 3. Robert, baptized at Austerfield, June 25, 1561, married, January 31, 1585, Alice Waingate ; with him Governor Bradford lived after his grandfather died; in 1598 Robert was the only sudsidiary at Austerfield; his will was dated April 15, 1609, and he was buried April 23 following ; children: Robert, Mary, Elizabeth and Margaret. 4. Elizabeth, baptized July 16, 1570, married, January 20, 1595,


(II) William (2), son of William (I) Bradford, was born at Austerfield, probably about 1560, and died when yet a young man, July 15, 1591. He married Alice Hanson. Children, born at Austerfield: I. Margaret, baptized March 8, 1585, died young. 2. Alice, baptized October 30, 1587. 3. Governor Will- iam, baptized March 19, 1590, mentioned below.


(III) Governor William (3), son of Will- iam (2) Bradford, was born in England and baptized at Austerfield (Osterfeldt), March 19, 1590. After his father's death he lived at first with his grandfather; but on his death in 1596, William went to live with his uncle, Robert Bradford, who lived in Scrooby, five miles from Osterfeldt, near the estate of the Brewsters, in county Nottingham. He joined the church where Rev. Richard Clifton and Rev. John Robinson preached, and soon be- came one of the leading "separatists." His early educational advantages were limited, but by diligent study he became very proficient in Dutch, Latin, French and Greek, and also de- voted himself to the study of Hebrew that he might read the Bible in its original form. He went with the company which migrated to Holland, and was a most influential power among them. On his coming of age he re- ceived considerable property from his father's estate, but did not succeed him in his com- mercial undertakings. He learned the art of "fustian or frieze weaving." On November 15, 1613, he was affianced to Dorothea May, from Wisbeach, Cambridge, England. The banns were published in Leyden, and they were married in Amsterdam, Holland, Decem- ber 9, 1613. His age is given as twenty-three, hers as sixteen. They embarked for England, July 22, 1620, and after many trials sailed from Plymouth, England, September 6, 1620, on the ship "Mayflower," reaching Cape Cod harbor the November following. While they

were at anchor, and he was absent from the vessel, Dorothea fell overboard and was drowned, December 9, 1620. Soon after the death of Governor Carver, William Bradford was elected governor of the colony, which he held by annual election until his death, with the exception of the years 1633-34-36-38-44. He took a prominent part in all the councils, which were held at his house, and in all civic, political and military affairs. From his house at the foot of Burial Hill each Sunday morning the company of people who assembled there marched up to the fort at its top, where relig- ious services were held. The history of the times which he left gives a correct and valuable picture of the events of that time. He mar- ried (second) Mrs. Alice (Carpenter ) South- worth, widow of Edward Southworth, and daughter of Alexander Carpenter, of Wrent- ham, England. She died March 26, 1670, and he died May 9, 1657.

He entered the office of Bradford & Taft, manufacturers of woolen goods, Providence, of which his father was the senior member, the junior mem- ber being Royal Chapin Taft, afterward gov- ernor of Rhode Island. In 1870 he accepted the position of manager of Samuel Slater & Sons large interests in Webster, employing from two to three thousandl operatives, and

He was a member of the house of representatives in 1894 and served on the committee on cities and on election laws. He was a member of the state senate in 1895-96-97, and was chair- man of the committee on cities, ways and means, bills in third reading, expenditures, treasury, towns, woman's suffrage, and rules. In 1899 he was appointed by Governor Wol- cott to the state board of insanity. He served as state treasurer and receiver general in 1900- 01-02-03-04 (constitutional limit) and render- ed very efficient service during those years.

The surname Lockwood is of very ancient origin and is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
