cal duties of the hospital tent and the battle- field.
On June 6, 1862, Dr. Eaton enlisted from Brunswick, Maine, in the Sixteenth Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and on June 27, 1862, was appointed hospital steward. He was promoted to assistant surgeon January 25, 1863, and to surgeon, with rank of major, No- vember 25, 1864, having served as acting sur- geon fron May 1, 1864. His regiment was organized at Augusta, Maine, and was there mustered into the service of the United States for a period of three years or during the war, on August 14, 1862, Colonel Asa W. Wildes commanding. The regiment left Augusta on August 19 for Washington City, arriving there August 21, and the next day crossed the Long Bridge into Virginia, being assigned to Forts Cass, Woodbury and Tillinghast. On Sep- tember 7 it was withdrawn from the forts and ordered to active duty in Maryland. At Gettysburg only two officers and fifteen men remained able for duty at the close of the three days battle, out of 248 who went into action. Surgeon Eaton was captured there on July Ist, and remained in charge of the Luth- eran Church Hospital until July 4th, when after the advance of the Union forces he re- joined his regiment. He was always to be found at his post, performing the arduous duties of an army surgeon in the field with efficiency and skill, caring for the sick and wounded of his command, often under most unfavorable conditions, and achieving a most creditable record, whether in camp, hospital, or on the field of battle. While a prisoner he ministered to sick and wounded rebels, as well as to his own comrades. In this connection it may be noted that he still retains a fragment of his regimental flag, which, when 'capture was inevitable, was torn to pieces by the color- bearer, and distributed among the men to pre- vent it falling into the enemy's hands. While in winter quarters at Mitchell's Station, in December, 1863, he received from Secretary of War Stanton a leave of absence to admit of his completing his professional studies in the New York Hospital and Medical School, re- ceiving the degree of M. D. from New York University on March 4, 1864. During this course he sat under the instruction of the eminent D. Valentine Mott and other noted physicians and surgeons. Surgeon Eaton was honorably discharged from service at Augusta, Maine, June 5, 1865, by reason of end of war.
After being mustered out of service, Dr. Eaton returned to his old home in Brunswick,
i-24

where he married, but did not practice there. His professional career was begun in South Reading, Massachusetts, (now Wakefield), where he was induced to locate in answer to the urgent request of his old regimental chaplain, with whom he was visiting after returning from the front. After two years residence in South Reading Dr. Eaton removed to Danvers and has engaged in active and successful gen- eral practice in that locality since 1867, a period of more than two score years. He maintains an office in Salem as well as in Danvers, although his home is in the latter town, and his practice. while general, has its special side and he is an electro-therapeutist of wide reputa- tion. It is doubtful if there is any professional man in Essex county with a more extended and favorable acquaintance than Dr. Eaton, and few whose endeavors in professional life have been rewarded with better success or more substantial results. In 1865 he became a member of the Essex County Medical Society and the Massachusetts Medical Society, and besides he holds membership in various other organizations of men of his profession, among them the Maine Medical Society, the American Medical Association and the Ameri- can Electro-Therapeutic Society, of the latter of which he is a former vice-president, as also he is ex-president of the Essex County Medi- cal Society, and ex-vice-president of the Mass- achusetts Medical Society. He became a member of the board of U. S. examining sur- geons for pensions, June, 1889, and still occu- pies that position. He is an interesting but not prolific writer. One of his best professional monographs is one on "The Use and Abuse of Alcohol," and he is author of a "History of the Physicians of Danvers," which has been published ; and a concise and accurate "His- tory of the Sixteenth Regiment Maine Volun- teer Infantry," his old command.
Dr. Eaton is a Mason of long standing, hav- ing first become a member of Army Lodge, No. 8, F. and A. M., while in service at the front in 1864. He is affiliated with Amity Lodge, of Danvers; was a charter member and past master of Mosaic Lodge, of Danvers; is a charter member of Holton Chapter, R. A. M., of Danvers; also member of Winslow Lewis Commandery, No. 18, K. T., of Salem, of which he has been prelate for sixteen years ; and member of Sutton Lodge of Perfection, of Salem. He is a comrade of Ward Post, No. 90, G. A. R .; was its second commander, serving two years; and for thirty-five years has been annually installed in his present posi-
tion of surgeon. In his life in Danvers he has been for many years variously identified with the best interests and institutions of the community, and while he has never aspired to political honors, he has taken an active part in the interest of good citizenship and the gen- eral welfare. He has filled several offices of minor importance, and for fifteen years served as member of the school committee, of which he was at one time chairman. He was a trustee of the Peabody Institute; and for the past twenty-three years has been president and one of the trustees of the Walnut Grove Cemetery Corporation. He is a member of the Danvers Scientific Society. He is one of the organizers of the Danvers Improvement Society, was its first vice-president, and for eighteen years president, which position he yet occupies. This Society was formed with the idea of beauti- fying the roads, walks, shade trees, railroad station, etc., of the city. The Society, without any means in the treasury, purchased for five thousand dollars, which has been paid, a tract of land of twenty-five acres, which it pro- posed to turn over to the town as a beautiful park bordering on Porter river for a quarter- mile wide, with landscape scenery, river view, etc., all graded and beautified, besides thous- ands of dollars expended in improvements. This will be turned over to the town, to be enjoyed as a public park forever. Dr. Eaton delivered the address at the Memorial Institute at the time of the death of General Grant, and has made addresses on several Memorial Days.
On June 25, 1865, Dr. Eaton married Agnes Hirst Magoun, born in Carlisle, England, Jan- uary 5, 1842, who came to the United States when a child. She died in Danvers, July 14, 1904. Children of Dr. and Mrs. Eaton: I. Elbert, born August 8, 1866, died May 31, 1880. 2. Susan Wilhelmina, born April 2, 1870. 3. Harold P., born January 2, 1881, died May 2, same year. 4. Marion Agnes, born June 19, 1883.

(VII) Kenelm Winslow, son of Edward Winslow (6), was born at Droitwich, county Worcester, England, April 29, 1599, and bap- tized May 3, 1599. He was the immigrant ancestor. He came to Plymouth probably in 1629 with his brother Josiah, and was admitted a freeman January 1, 1632-3 ; was surveyor of the town of Plymouth 1640, and was fined ten shillings for neglecting the highways. He re- moved to Marshfield about 1641, having previ- ously received a grant of land at that place, then called Green's Harbor, March 5, 1637-8. This grant, originally made to Josiah Wins- low, his brother, he shared with Love Brews- ter. His home was "on a gentle eminence by the sea, near the extremity of land lying be- tween Green Harbor and South Rivers. This tract of the township was considered the Eden of the region. It was beautified with groves of majestic oaks and graceful walnuts, with the underground void of shrubbery. A few of these groves were standing within the mem- ory of persons now living ( 1854) but all have fallen beneath the hand of the woodman." The homestead he left to his son Nathaniel. Other lands were granted to Kenelm, as the common land was divided. He was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet (Freetown) Massachusetts, purchased of the Indians April 2, 1659, and received the twenty- fourth lot, a portion of which is still or was lately owned by a lineal descendant, having descended by inheritance. Kenelm was a joiner by trade, as well as a planter. He filled vari- ous town offices; was deputy to the general court 1642 to 1644 and from 1649 to 1653, eight years in all. He had considerable litiga- tion, as the early court records show. He died at Salem, whither he had gone on business, September 13, 1672, apparently after a long illness, for his will was dated five weeks earlier, August 8, 1672, and in it he describes himself as "being very sick and drawing nigh unto death." He may have been visiting his niece, Mrs. Elizabeth Corwin, daughter of Edward Winslow. He married, in June, 1634, Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams of Plymouth. She survived him, and died at Marshfield, where she was buried December 5, 1681, aged eighty-three. Children : I. Kenelm, born about 1635, died November II, 1715. 2.

The Carter family is of ancient CARTTER English lineage. In one of the battles of Bruce's war, an officer by the name of McCarter countermanded the order of a superior officer, which meant death, but which gave the victory, hence they could not really put him to death, but could not allow the offence to go unpunished. Therefore they deprived him of the "Mc" in his name, and added a "t." making it Cartter. The present family descends from him. Richard Cartter, Lord of the Manor of Garston, in the parish of Watford, England, is supposed to have been the grandfather of Rev. Thomas Cartter, the immigrant, mentioned below.
(I) Rev. Thomas Cartter, immigrant ances- tor, was born in Hertfordshire, England, about 1608, as he deposed December 17, 1662. He was a graduate of St. John's College, Cam- bridge University, taking his degrees in 1629 and 1633. In 1635, with forty others, he came in the ship "Planter" from England, giving his residence there as St. Albans in Hertford- shire. He settled first in Dedham, but soon removed to Watertown, where he was an elder of the church. He was admitted a freeman May 1, 1638. On the founding of the church in Woburn, he was called as the minister, and
373
MASSACHUSETTS.
ordained there October 22, 1642. He served the people acceptably for a period of thirty-six years until his death, September 5, 1684. He had in his possession what he believed to be a Bible of the martyr, John Rogers, from whom he descended in a maternal line. Johnson, in his "Wonderworking Providence," calls him a "Reverend, godly man, apt to teach the sound and wholesome truths of Christ." Another historian pronounced him "a very pious, exem- plary man, and able and sound preacher of the Gospel." The customs of the time, good old Puritan times, is shown by the bill of expenses for the funeral of the beloved minister. Of the total cost of four pounds, nineteen shillings, the coffin cost six shillings, the wine for the mourners cost half the total bill, over two pounds. It may be interesting to note that the town of Woburn paid him a salary of eighty pounds a year. He married Mary Dalton, who died March 28, 1687. Their children are men- tioned in the will of James Carter, brother of Rev. Thomas, dated Hinderclay, county Suf- folk, England, September 8, 1655. Children : I. Rev. Samuel, born August 8, 1640; men- tioned below. 2. Judith, March 15, 1645 ; mar- ried, October 14, 1660, Samuel Somers; (sec- ond) Giles Fairfield. 3.

( II) Rev. Samuel Cartter, son of Rev. Thomas Cartter, was born at Watertown, August 8, 1640. He graduated from Harvard College in 1660 and was admitted an inhabitant and pro- prietor of the common lands at Woburn. Janu- ary 4. 1665-66. He held at different times several responsible offices in the town ; select- man in 1679-81-82-83; commissioner of rates 1680; town clerk 1690. He was also teacher of the grammar schools in 1685-86. He owned land on George Hill, Lancaster, given him by the town. and this land was occupied by his de- scendants for several generations. He preached at Lancaster between 1681 and 1688, and prob- ably resided there for a time. On October 21, 1692. by a vote of the larger part of the town, Rev. Samuel Cartter was elected to be their fourth minister. He removed there soon after this call, but did not remain long over his
pastoral charge, as he died there in the fall of 1693. He married, in 1672, Eunice Brooks, born October 10, 1655, daughter of John and Eunice (Mousall) Brooks.

(III) Samuel (2) Cartter, son of Rev. Sam- uel (I) Carter, was born in Woburn, January 7, 1678, died in Lancaster, August 22, 1738. He lived on the north side of the road that leads up George Hill, a little to the north of the school house, on the site of a house for- merly known as the Captain Ephraim Cartter house, his father, Rev. Samuel Cartter, having purchased two lots of Captain Henry Kerley in 1688. He was assigned to a garrison on George Hill with his brothers-in-law, Lieuten- ant Nathaniel and Ephraim Wilder, Thomas Ross, and his brother, John Cartter, and lost in attack by the Indians, July 31, 1704, with two fires, a good dwelling house, a horse, cow, two calves and his swine.
