(VIII) Moses Franklin, second son of Moses (2) and Susan E. (Treadwell) East- man, was born July 16, 1847, in Salem, Massa- chusetts, and was educated in the public schools of Melrose. He has had an interest- ing and successful business experience, begin- ning at the age of fourteen years, when he succeeded his deceased father in the express business, which he continued successfully for twenty-three years. It is still conducted under the name of Eastman's Express. In 1885 he established a coal and grain business, and two years later sold this to C. B. and F. H. Goss, who are still the owners and managers. Mr. Eastman began buying and selling real estate and since 1887 has engaged extensively in this business, handling large properties on his own account as well as doing an extensive commis- sion business. 1888 he built a business block on Main street, Melrose, known as Eastman's block. He is an active member of the Uni-

versalist church, and has been prominent for many years as a Republican. For three years he was collector of taxes and has been a mem- ber of both town and city governments.

The Geers and Geres of America GERE are descended from an ancient and honorable family of Devonshire, England, and their English progenitors, who were of the gentry, possessed a coat-of-arms. Through the errors of the early New Eng- land recorders the name was frequently mis- spelled in town records and legal documents, in which it appears as Gear, Geares, Gere, etc. Upon the coat-of-arms of John Geer of Hevi- tree in the county of Devon, to be found in an old English work on heraldry, is inscribed these words: "By the Name of Geer," show- ing the latter to have been the original form of spelling.

(I) Jonathan Geer, a relative of the John Geer, of Hevitree, just mentioned, died a widower, leaving a good estate to his two sons, George and Thomas, both of whom were in early childhood. These orphans were left in the care of an uncle, and in order to obtain possession of their property, this unscrupulous guardian caused his wards to be placed on board of an emigrant ship and transported to Boston, where they were left penniless and alone to care for themselves as best they could. Thomas, the youngest, located in Salem, and resided there until after 1676, when he re- moved to Enfield, Connecticut.

(II) George, eldest son of Jonathan Geer,

of Hevitree, was born either at the latter place or at Shoreham in the same county in 1621. With his brother he landed in Boston in 1635, when about fourteen years old. Tradition says that he participated in the destruction of the Pequot fort at Mystic under the leadership of Captain John Mason, June 5, 1637, but this cannot be verified. No information has yet come to light relative to his early life in New England. The first authentic knowledge of him is found in the records of New London, Connecticut, whither he probably went with Robert Allyn and others as early as 1651. Through grants by the town, and also by pur- chase, he acquired considerable real estate, and for many years he resided in Groton. His death occurred at Preston, Connecticut, in the latter part of 1726, at the unusually advanced age of one hundred and five years. On Feb- ruary 17, 1658, he married Sarah Allyn, born in Salem, Massachusetts, about the year 1640, daughter of Robert Allyn, previously mention- ed. Her death occurred a short time prior to that of her husband. Their children were: I. Sarah, born February 27, 1659, married Nathaniel Park. 2. Jonathan, May 26, 1662, married Mary ; died April 30, 1742. 3. Joseph, October 14, 1664, married Sarah Howard, January 7, 1692; died in 1743. 4. Hannah, February 27, 1666, married Charles Williams. 5. Margaret, February, 1669, mar- ried Thomas Gates. 6. Mary, March 26, 1671, married Zachariah Minor. 7. Daniel, born (supposedly) in 1673, maiden name of wife unknown, died October 2, 1749. 8. Robert, January 2, 1675, married Martha Taylor, died in 1742. 9. Anne, January 6, 1679, married Daniel Tyler. 10. Isaac, see next paragraph, II. Jeremiah, born (supposedly in 1683), mar- ried Esther -; died in 1721.

(III) Isaac, fifth son and tenth child of George and Sarah (Allyn) Geer, was born in that part of New London which is now Gro- ton, March 26, 1681. It is quite probable that he remained with his parents until 1715, when . he took possession of that part of the home- stead property allotted to him, and he subse- quently purchased adjoining land. He died in 1745, leaving a good estate. The maiden surname of his wife cannot be found in the records, which mention her by her christian name, Martha. She bore him nine children: I. Isaac, who is again referred to. 2. Benja- min, born in 1717, married Rachel ; died in 1802 without issue. 3. Martha. 4. Lucy. 5. George, 1724, married Polly Rouse ;

died in Groton in October, 1786. 6. Elizabeth. 7. Solomon. 8. Sarah. 9. Jacob, 1732, mar- ried Ann Patten ; died January 27, 1814.

(IV) Isaac (2), eldest child of Isaac and Martha Geer, was born in Groton but the date of his birth does not appear in the family genealogy at hand. The maiden name of his wife is also unknown. His children were: I. Cap- tain Isaac, who resided in Groton and married for his first wife Mary Leeds. 2. Nathan. 3. Martha.

(V) Nathan, second child of Isaac (2) Geer, was born in Groton prior to 1750. He resided about one mile from Preston city. He married Jerusha Tracy, May 1, 1766, and she bore him four children: I. Jedediah, born January 21, 1767, settled in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he reared a family. 2. Lucy, May 8, 1769, married Corning. 3. Isaac. 4. Nathan, who married Dimis Deni- son (The Denison Genealogy says he married Anna Denison1), and settled in Hartland, Ver- mont, where he died.

(VI) Isaac (2) Gere, second son and third child of Nathan and Jerusha (Tracy) Gere, was born in Preston, December 6, 1771. After concluding his attendance at school he was apprenticed to a jeweller and having learned the trade he established himself in business at Northampton, Massachusetts. His death occurred in that town, September 24, 1812. Although his business career was of short duration he was successful, partly on acount of his natural . aptitude for his calling, and it may be truthfully added that his honesty and integrity were in no small measure responsible for his prosperity. He erected the first brick store in Northampton, upon land directly opposite the First Church, and occupied it as a jewellery establishment until his untimely demise. His first wife was Jemima, daughter of Enos and Abigail Kings- ley, of Northampton, and she bore him three children: I. Edward. 2. Lucy, born Septem- ber II, 1800, died in infancy. 3. Isaac, Febru- ary 3, 1803, became a prosperous merchant and woolen manufacturer in Williamsburg, Massa- chusetts, and was prominent in civic affairs, serving as a selectman and as representative to the Massachusetts legislature. In 1838 he removed to Oxford, Ohio, and died there in 1851, leaving several children. The senior Isaac Gere married (second) Lucy Ware, daughter of Jonathan and Lucy ( Kingsley) Ware. She was a descendant in the fifth gen- cration of Robert Ware, of Dedham, Massa- chusetts, through Nathaniel (2), Samuel (3),

and Jonathan (4). Jonathan (4) Ware mar- ried for his second wife Lucy, daughter of Samuel Kingsley. (N. B. A Genealogy of the Ware family at hand states that Isaac Gere Sr. married Lucy Rice, daughter of Israel and Anna (Ware) Rice. This is probably an error ). The children of the senior Isaac Gere's second tinion were : 4. Frederick. 5. William. 6. Lucy. The latter became the wife of Dr. Brown, a physician, and died in Ohio at an advanced age.

(VII) Edward, eldest child of Isaac (2) and Jemima (Kingsley) Gere, was born in Northampton, December 19, 1798. He attend- ed Yale College and intended to enter pro- fessional life, but failing health caused him to seek some open air employment, and he accord- ingly settled upon a farm in Williamsburg, Massachusetts. He served as a selectman, was otherwise prominent in local public affairs, and as an active member of the Methodist Epis- copal church he was earnestly interested in forwarding the moral and religious welfare of the community. Edward Gere died in Will- iamsburg, September 24, 1832. He married, October 14, 1824, Arabella Williams, daughter of Gross Williams, of Williamsburg. She was born January 6, 1805, and died in her native town March 5, 1893. Of this union there were three children: I. Edward W., born April 8, 1826, became a member of the firm of Hayden, Gere and Company, manufacturers of brass goods, with headquarters in New York City and factory in Haydenville, Massachusetts. His death occurred in Leamington, England, on the same date as that of his mother. 2. Henry S., who is again referred to. 3. Collins, November 25, 1830, was also a member of the firm of Hayden, Gere and Company, died at Southampton, April 22, 1882.

(VIII) Henry Sherwood, second child of Edward and Arabella (Williams) Gere, was born in Williamsburg, April 30, 1828. From the Wilbraham Academy he entered the Willis- ton Seminary at Easthampton, where he pur- sued the regular preparatory course, but in- stead of entering college he began his business career as "Printer's Devil" in the office of the Hampshire Herald at Northampton, the first Abolition newspaper issued in western Massa- chusetts. In 1847, when but nineteen years old, he was advanced to the position of editor and in the following year the Herald was merged with the Northampton Courier, previ- ously a Whig organ, with Mr. Gere as one of the proprietors. This combination, under the name of the Northampton Courier, was issued

I297

MASSACHUSETTS.

as a Free Soil paper for ten years or until November, 1858, when it was united with the Hampshire Gasette, and espoused the principles of the newly organized Republican party. Under the ownership and management of Mr. Gere the Hampshire Gasette has for more then half a century been the leading Republican newspaper in Hampshire county, and has always kept pace with the times, availing itself of all advanced ideas and modern improve- ments. (N. B. The Gazette, which is the par- ent organ, was founded in the year 1786). From 1866 to the present time the Gasette has occupied quarters on Gothic street. In 1862 Mr. Gere suspended his activities as a journal- ist in order to enlist as a private in Company C, Fifty-second Regiment, Massachusetts Vol- unteer Infantry, for service in the civil war, and served under General Banks in Louisiana. While in rendezvous at Baton Rouge, prior to the attack upon Port Hudson, he was appoint- ed army postmaster by General Grover and continued in that capacity until the expiration of his term of service. Upon his return from the army he resumed his activities as pro- prietor of the Gazette, and under his manage- ment that well-known newspaper has enjoyed continuous prosperity dispensing the news and vigorously supporting the interests of the Re- publican party, of which he has long been recognized as the principal standard bearer in his section of the commonwealth. From Jan- uary 1, 1859, to January 1, 1877, he served as treasurer of Hampshire county; was for six years a member of the school committee; and for a period of twenty-five years, from about 1871, he was chairman of the Republican county committee. He was chosen the first secretary and treasurer of the Fifty-second Regimental Association, which was organized shortly after the close of the rebellion; is a trustee of the Northampton Institution for Sav- ings ; and has held other positions of honor and trust, all of which have benefitted by his ability and wise council. In 1888 he erected his hand- some residence, which occupies a desirable location at No. 75 High street, overlooking the picturesque scenery of the surrounding coun- try. Amherst College conferred upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts in 1890. On August 22, 1849, Mr. Gere married Martha Clark, daughter of Simeon P. and Dorcas (Clapp) Clark, of Easthampton. Children: I. George Sherwood, born in Northampton, July 15, 1850, married Josephene Goodman, of Easthampton, Massachusetts. 2. Collins H., associated with his father in the management

of the Hampshire Gasette; married (first) Anna Bowers; (second) Jennie Van Horn. 3. Edward C., also in partnership with his father ; married Katherine Henderson. 4. Frederick, died at the age of six years. 5. Mary E., a graduate of Smith College; was teacher at Western Female College in Oxford, Ohio; un- married. 6. William H., married Mary Brad- ford. 7. Martha F., unmarried.

The original American ancestor of Mrs. Gere on the paternal side was Lieutenant Will- iam Clark, who was born probably in Plym- outh, Devonshire, England, in 1609; was at Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1638, and set- tled in Northampton about the year 1659. He was one of the townsmen or selectmen of Northampton for nineteen years beginning in 1661 ; one of the eight original members of the First Church, organized June 18, 1661 ; served as representative to the general court in 1663; and died at Northampton, July 12, 1690. For many years he was one of the com- missioners or judges of the county court and bore the title of "the most worshipful William Clark." His wife whose christian name was Sarah, died September 6, 1675, having been the mother of nine children.

Deacon John, son of Lieutenant William and Sarah Clark, had six sons and five daughters who reared families, among whom was John.

John (2), son of Deacon John ( 1) Clark, was born in Northampton, December 28, 1678. and bore the title of deacon. He married Eliz- abeth Cook, of Hatfield, Massachusetts, a great-granddaughter of Major Aaron Cook, and had a family of eleven children.

Ithamar, son of Deacon John (2) Clark, re- sided in Northampton and had nine sons and one daughter.

Oliver, son of Ithamar Clark, was born Jan- uary 13, 1756. He settled at Easthampton and erected a dwelling house in the westerly part of that town. He was twice married and the father of nineteen children.

Simeon, eldest son of Oliver Clark, born February 10, 1777, spent the greater part of his life in Easthampton and followed the car- penter's trade. About the year 1820 he con- structed a bridge over Mill river in Northamp- ton. His death occurred in Huntsburg, Ohio. His children were: Simeon Parsons, Cole- man, Mercy, Tertius, Esther, Lewis, Diana, Abner Laurens.

Simeon Parsons, son of Simeon Clark, and of the seventh generation in descent from Lieutenant William Clark, was a carpenter in Easthampton and a well-known resident of

that town in his day. He married Dorcas Clapp; children: Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Mar- tha, Laura, Lydia, Edmund W., George P. Hervey, Delia, Sarah. Martha married Henry S. Gere aforementioned.

Dorcas (Clapp) Clark, was born in 1800, died October 3, 1860, was a descendant in the sixth generation of Roger Clapp, the first mili- tary commander of Boston, through the latter's son Preserved, who was an early settler in Northampton. Preserved's son, Roger Clapp, had a son Charles, and the latter was the father of Eliakim Clapp, a revolutionary soldier who served for four years in the American army and was present at the execution of Major Andre, October 2, 1780. For a number of years he resided in Chesterfield, Massachusetts, where he married Pamelia Wright, daughter of Dr. Elihu Wright, a surgeon in the Conti- nental army. He subsequently removed to Chester, Massachusetts, where he died at the age of eighty-four years. He was the father of thirteen children, four of whom died in infancy. Those who lived to maturity were Rachel, Theodocia, Pamelia, Dorcas, Augustus, Eliakim, Charles, Stillman Sprague and Alonzo. Dorcas became the wife of Simeon P. Clark as previously stated.

ROSS This name is of undoubted Scotch origin and is found in many locali- ties in the United States. Some of the immigrants bearing the name were very early in this country, coming probably from England. Others came by way of Northern Ireland, arriving soon after the beginning of the eighteenth century. All have proven, as a rule, to be good citizens possessed of all the worthy Scotch characteristics of industry, thrift and high moral standards. There were many of this name in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in the middle of the seventeenth century, but whether they were related to one another is not discoverable by anything in the records.

(I) John Ross was a resident of Ipswich, Massachusetts, as early as 1664, at which time he had a share of Plum Island, as a tenant of Mr. Wardwell. The records show that he had horses on the common in 1697. His children were: Jolin, Mary, Sarah, Hannah, Abigail, Joseph, Susanna, Elizabeth, Daniel, Jonathan and Isaac.

(II) Joseph, second son of John Ross, was born about 1672-73, in Ipswich and removed to what is now Scotland in Windham county, Connecticut, where the records show that he purchased of his brother Daniel, on November

27, 1704, fifty acres of land in Windham. He resided with the Scotland Society in what is now the town of Scotland, and was a farmer the remainder of his life .. He married, Sep- tember 16, 1716, Sarah Utley and they were the parents of ten children.

(III) Joseph (2), eldest child of Joseph (I) and Sarah (Utley) Ross, was born De- cember 28, 1717, in Scotland, and died at the age of twenty-three years, leaving a widow, formerly Mary Pain, who was born May 31, 1721.

(IV) Lieutenant Ebenezer, only son of Joseph (2) and Mary (Pain) Ross, was born March 24, 1741, in Windham county, died March 26, 1810, in Pomfret, same county, where he resided during most of his life. He was a soldier of the revolutionary war, being a neigh- bor and intimate friend of General Israel Put- nam. In 1776 he was in the service in New York state. He married, June 9, 1768, Mary Clark, born March 21, 1747, daughter of Na- thaniel Clark, who survived him many years and died March 5, 1838. After his death, she became the wife of Deacon Benjamin Chaplin, who was one of the incorporators of the town of Chaplin, Connecticut, which is named in his honor. The children of Ebenezer Ross were: Royal, Lucy, Elnathan, Mary, Lucy, Ebenezer, John and Abel.

(V) Elnathan, second son of Ebenezer and Mary (Clark) Ross, was born June 15, 1772, in Pomfret, and resided as a farmer for sev- eral years in Mansfield, Connecticut. He re- moved thence to Chaplin, where he passed the remainder of his life, and attained promise, dying January 30, 1814. He married, Febru- ary 25, 1795, Olive Storrs, born December 7, 1774, in Mansfield, daughter of Ebenezer Storrs, of Mansfield, died April 7, 1864 (see Storrs V). Children : I.

BRANCH Christopher Branch came from England to Jamestown, Vir- ginia. about 1623, and is the ancestor of a large and prominent family scattered through the southern states. In this family there is a tradition that Christo- pher was son of Thomas Branch and grandson of John Branch, Lord Mayor of London. Will- iam Flower, alias Branch, father of the Lord Mayor, is mentioned in Fox's Book of Martyrs ; he renounced the Roman Catholic faith ; was tried and condemned to death for an alleged attempt to kill a priest at the altar ; married Fulton. It is now believed that John Branch, son of the Lord Mayor and grandson of the martyr, was father of Peter Branch, the immigrant to New England, men- tioned below.

(I) Peter Branch, immigrant ancestor, came from Holden, county Kent. England, on the ship "Castle" in 1638, dying on board during the voy- age. His will was proved in Suffolk county. Massachusetts, dated June 16, 1638. He be- queathed his property to his son, John Branch, then eleven years old, apprenticed to Thomas Wiburne, late of Tenterden, Kent, England, and probably a relative. Wiburne, Wyburne, Wy-

borne, Wyburn or Wiburn, as his name was vari- ously spelled, came from Tenterden before 1638 and settled at Duxbury, Massachusets where he was a proprietor in 1638; removed to Scituate in 1643, and thence to Boston, selling out in 1652 at Scituate; a sadler by trade. Peter Branch was a carpenter. The estate of Branch was committed in trust to Wiburne for eleven years and, if John died within eleven years, the estate was to go to the churches at Scituate and Concord. A bequest was also made to Ste- phen Ingleden's widow or her children. He married, in England, January 14, 1623, Eliza- beth Gillame. She died before 1638. Their only child surviving: John, mentioned below.

(II) John, son of Peter Branch, was born in Holden, county Kent, England, in 1627. He was apprenticed to Thomas Wiburne to learn the sadler's trade, as shown by his father's will mentioned above. He lived at Duxbury and Scituate with Wiburne, and settled on Branch Island, Marshfield, Massachusetts. He mar- ried, December 6, 1652, Mary Speed. Chil- dren : John, Elizabeth, Peter, mentioned below ; Thomas, Mercy.
