he has become well known as a public reader. His residence is at 16 Hillside avenue. He is a member of the First Unitarian Church and on the parish committee and trustee of the sinking fund.

The name of Williston doubt- WILLISTON less is of Danish origin and probably came over to Eng-

land with the Danish invasion of King Can- nute when the commander-in-chief of the armies of Denmark bore the name of General Williston. In 1640 three brothers of the name of Williston came to America from Lanca- shire, England.

(I) Joseph Williston was probably born about 1670. There was a John Willison or Willingstone at Ipswich, Massachusetts, at an earlier date, thought by some to have been his father. As a child Joseph Williston lived in the family of John Williams, at Windsor, Con- necticut, and to him he was doubtless nearly related. Mr. Williams married, July 29, 1644, Mary Burley, who died August 3, 1665 ; he died April 18, 1681. Williston may have been a grandchild. Early in life he removed to Springfield, and in 1691 had settled in the adjacent town of Westfield, Massachusetts. He married, at Springfield, March 2, 1699, Mary (Parsons) Ashley, widow of Joseph Ashley, daughter of Joseph and Mary Par- sons. She died August 23, 1711. He married (second) November 2, 1711, Sarah Stebbins, widow of Thomas Stebbins ; she died in 1732. Children, born at Springfield: I. Joseph, De- cember 28, 1700; mentioned below. 2.

18II. He graduated at Yale College in the class of 1757; was ordained at West Haven, Connecticut, June, 1760, and was the pastor of the Congregational church there until his death. His long pastorate is the finest testimony to his tact, his faithfulness as a pastor and wisdom as a teacher, and his power as a preacher. He married (first) Hannah Payson, of Pomfret, Connecticut, born 1742, daughter of Deacon Joshua Payson. She died in 1769. He mar- ried (second) November 25, 1779, Eunice Hill, widow.

He took part in the skirmish- ing when New Haven was invaded by the Brit- ish, 1779. He graduated at Yale College in the class of 1783, and in 1789 was settled the first minister at Easthampton, Massachusetts, previously a precinct of Northampton, and served in that capacity for over half a century. During his long and successful pastorate, he won the affection and confidence of his people and took a leading position among the min- isters of his faith. In 1799 some of his ser- mons were published in a volume of collec- tions of the Association of the County of Hampshire. Later other discourses were pub- lished from time to time by Mr. Williston, and they display much ability. He was a devout and pious Christian, a faithful and sympathetic pastor, amiable and approachable in his personality. To the end of his long life, ninety-two years, he retained his health and faculties. He married Sarah, daughter of Nathan Birdseye, of Stratford, Connecticut. Children, born at Easthampton : I.

He was the inventor of Payson's Indelible Ink, well known throughout the United States, still a staple article of trade and still manufactured at Northampton by his son, A. Lyman Willis- ton. He was a director of the Holyoke Water Power Company and a director of the North- ampton National Bank, universally regarded as one of the ablest business men in North- ampton. He was an early and devoted friend and advocate of the anti-slavery cause and later very active in true temperance reform and prominent in what is known as the Wash- ingtonian movement and continuing through- out his life his warfare against the use of intox- icating liquors and particularly against the saloons of his native town. He was firm and decided in his convictions, of great public spirit, of exemplary character, a strong and forceful personality, a useful citizen, known as a liberal contributor to benevolent purposes and for the advancement of charitable and educational matters.

Easthampton. At the age of eighteen he was given the active management and superintend- ence of the Greenville Manufacturing Com- pany, manufacturing sheeting and other cotton goods at Northampton. He was connected actively with this concern for a period of thirty- one years, filling the offices of treasurer and president of the corporation and continuing as president until he sold the property in 1883. He has been connected also with other manu- facturing concerns in Northampton and else- where as director and manager. In 1877 he became a director of the First National Bank of Northampton, has been on the board to the present time ( 1909) and president of the bank since 1887. He has been called to many posi- tions of public trust and honor. For many years he has been a member of the public library committee, also chairman of the trust funds committee of Northampton. He served as alderman of his ward in 1887, and was chairman of the first board of sewer commis- sioners of the city, declining further service after being six years in office. He never sought public office, however, and both in 1889-90, when nominated for mayor of the city by the Republicans, he declined the honor.

Mr. Williston is best known, perhaps, through his connection and labors in the interest of various educational institutions. Early in life he became interested in Mount Holyoke Col- lege ; he has served on the board of trustees since 1867, and since 1873 has been its treas- urer ; he has been chairman of all its building committees. One of the finest structures of the college is named Lyman Williston Hall, erected in 1876 at a cost of eighty thousand dollars ; he was the largest contributor ; he has also given liberally to the funds for other buildings and purposes of the college. He gave the astronomical observatory, its equip- ment and site, to the college. A Massachu- setts paper published the following about Mr. Williston and his connection with Mount Holyoke College: "The present prosperity and influence of Mount Holyoke College is due in no small degree to the faithful and never failing interest of Mr. A. Lyman Willis- ton, of Northampton, who has been its treas- urer twenty-five years. During his entire term of office his efforts for its advancement have been unremitting and he has spared neither time nor money in its cause. To him the insti- tution is indebted for Lyman Williston Hall. During his term of office Mr. Williston has been the executive head of the school and that his hand may long be felt in its direction, is

the earnest wish of all who have its interest at heart. The office has no salary attached to it and the hard work performed is purely a labor of love and philanthropy." Mr. Williston has been active in promoting the interests of Am- herst College also; he was a member of a special committee in 1882 in charge of the rebuilding of Walker Hall and in the enlarge- ment and remodelling of the college library building ; he was afterward on the committee in charge of building the Pratt Gymnasium, and has contributed liberally to various funds of the college from time to time. The honor- ary degree of A. M. was conferred upon him by Amherst College in 1881. Mr. Williston was elected a trustee of Williston Seminary, 1873, which was founded by his uncle, Samuel Williston, and was his own alma mater ; he became its treasurer in 1880, an office he still holds, has been a member of the finance and excutive committees for many years, and was president of the board of trustees from 1885 to 1895. Mr. Williston was elected a trustee of Smith College in 1876, is a member of some of the important committees, such as finance and executive, for many years, and is still active, and has been a faithful and active member of the board of trustees to the present time (1909). In 1881 he became a corporate member of the American Board of Foreign Missions ; he served for one year as member of the prudential committee, and from time to time on important special committees of that organization. Mr. Williston is a member of the First Congregational Church. While 'resid- ing in Florence, Massachusetts, he and his father were the leading spirits in establishing the Florence Congregational Church ; A. Ly- man Williston was chairman of the building committee, one of the first deacons, and one of the twenty-six charter members of the church. Mr. Williston has traveled extensively both in this country and abroad.

(XIII) Solomon (3), son of Solomon (2) Stoddard, was born February 18, 1771, died at Northampton, October 16, 1860. He pre- pared for college mostly by private instruction and recitations to the minister, and at the age of fifteen entered Yale College. He was assigned the English oration in the graduating class of 1790. Previous to his death he was the oldest living graduate of the college, with one or two exceptions. After leaving college he entered the office of the late Governor Strong as a law student. For eighteen months he practiced law in Williamstown, Massachu- setts, and then settled permanently in his native town of Northampton, where he con- tinued in active practice until 1810. At this time he was chosen register of deeds for Hampshire county, and served ten years. In 1821 he was appointed clerk of the courts for the same county, which office he resigned, after sixteen years, in 1837. He was repre- sentative to the general court in 1807-08-38. He was of a modest, retiring disposition, and never put himself forward, or claimed preced- ence over others. Kind, gentle, obliging, he was ever esteemed among his fellow citizens as a good neighbor and a man of unswerving integrity and uprightness. Originally a Fed- eralist of the Governor Strong school, he be- came a Whig, and a Republican later. He was always firm in his political opinions, though prudent and courteous toward those who differed with him politically. At the age of sixty-seven he retired from public life. The chief glory of his character was his constant and exemplary piety. For forty years he was a member of the church in Northampton, of which Jonathan Edwards was pastor. The later years of his life were passed in the bosom of his family, where the christian virtues shone with bright and constant lustre. He was the patriarch of the house, who led the family devotions morning and evening. He mani- fested a lively interest in the benevolent efforts of the day, and was ever ready to contribute to promote them. To the period of his last illness, he kept himself familiar with all the movements of the political and religious world.

The surname Higginson is HIGGINSON derived from or akin to that of Higgins, and has never been a very common name in England, where the family originated. Higgins families, on the contrary, are very numerous. As early as 1500 the English family from which the American Higginsons are descended was estab- lished in and about Wem, in Shropshire, and then or soon afterward in and about Berkes- well, Warwickshire. Between 1500 and 1560 there were residing in Wem as heads of fami- lies Allen, Johan, William (two), Richard, John an'l Thomas Higginson. The families of Wem and Berkeswell are doubtless of the same

branch, but the records are not preserved or have not yet been discovered that would estab- lish the lineage.

(I) John Higginson, the progenitor to whom the lineage has been traced, lived at Berkes- well, and was mentioned as early as 1518 in that place. His will was dated December 10, 1540, and proved February 4, following. He had at the time of his death four grandchil- dren, and it is presumed that he was born as early as 1480. From his will it appears he had a brother deceased, formerly of Wem, and two of his sons, John and Nicholas, lived at Wem.
