(II) Gilbert (2), eldest son of Gilbert (I) and Thomasine Tapley, was born in Salem, August 26, 1665, and died in 1710. His widow administered, and the inventory amounted to seven pounds fifteen shillings. He married Lydia, daughter of Thomas and Ruth Small, of Salem; (second) August 21, 1707, Sarah Archer, of Salem. Children by Lydia: Mary, Joseph, Lydia and Gilbert.
(III) Joseph, second son of Gilbert (2) and Lydia (Small) Tapley, was born in Salem, July 30, 1691. He had a license as an inn- holder in 1714, probably in his grandfather's place. He was in the fish trade, and his tax rate was three shillings. He was an invalid for some years before his death, the date of which in unknown. He married Margaret Masury, of Salem. Children: I. Gilbert, see forward. 2. John. 3. Lydia, married a Brit- ish officer, and inherited a great property, dying childless. 4. Elizabeth.
(IV) Gilbert (3), eldest son of Joseph and Margaret (Masury) Tapley, was born in Salem, May 6, 1722, and died at Danvers, Massachusetts, May 6, 1806, and was buried in the old Preston burial ground. He was the ancestor of the Danvers and Lynn branches. In 1802 he removed to Danvers and became a housesmith, and bought sixty-seven acres of land of Joseph Sibley, for which he paid two thousand ten pounds old tenor, and was situated on Buxton's lane. He was one of the petitioners to the general court against
taxes on trading stock. He was constable in 1755, highway surveyor in 1766-78-79-80-82. He was on the petition of March 28, 1761, against laying out the road between the neck and North bridge, Salem. His name is en- rolled on the Lexington alarm list as lieutenant in Captain John Putnam's company, which marched in defence of the country April 19, 1775; also on the alarm list in 1778. He with others petitioned for a bounty to the minute- men ; July 21, 1777, he was one of a committee to build a pest house, and in May, 1780, chosen by the town to oppose the county highway. The church had in him a consistent member and worker, and he was one of a committee to prepare plans for a new meeting-house. He sat in pew number forty-two. In 1794 he paid six pounds twelve shillings for a share in the Danvers Social Library, which is perhaps the oldest institution of the kind in this country, and it shows Gilbert to have had a commend- able interest in educational affairs. His name appears in as many as a score of real estate transactions in which he was either grantor or grantee of land situated in Andover, Middle- ton, Lynn and Danvers. The history of Essex county recounts this veracious tale. "About the first of the century an old man was driv- ing a heavy load of oak ship timber, with three yoke of oxen, along one of the roads in the western part of the town of Danvers. There had recently been a heavy fall of snow, and the roads were so full that turning out was a matter of great difficulty. Suddenly out of the drifts there appeared an approaching sleigh, and behind the driver sat the magnate, 'King Hooper.' 'Turn out', cried Hooper. 'Can't do it; load's too heavy,' said the old man, 'let your man take one of these shovels and we will soon make room.' 'No, half the road is mine, and I will wait till I get it.' 'All right,' was the laconic reply, and slipping out the pin he went back home with his oxen, leaving his load, and Mr. Hooper to contem- plate the situation and get out the best way he could." Such was old Gilbert Tapley-a de- cided man, and firm to stand up for his rights. His will was executed in 1805, and proved June 6, 1906, his son Amos administering. The estate realized four thousand one hundred dollars, and for those days he was in very comfortable circumstances. He married, at Salem, Phebe, daughter of John and Lydia (Porter) Putnam. She died May 6, 1770, and he married (second) Mary Flint, widow of Nathaniel Smith. She died July 1, 1798, and he married ( third) widow Sarah ( Abbot )

Farrington, of Andover. Children by first marriage: Amos, Daniel, Phebe, Joseph, of whom further ; Aaron, Asa and Elijah. By Mary Flint he had Sally.
(V) Joseph (2), third son of Gilbert (3) and Lydia (Putnam) Tapley, was born in Danvers, April 10, 1756, and died in Lynn- field, Massachusetts, March II, 1820. He was a private on the Lexington alarm, in Captain Samuel Flint's company, Colonel Timothy Pickering's regiment ; also in a militia com- pany. There are eight entries in the Essex registry wherein he appears in real estate transfers, owning land in Danvers, Middle- ton and Lynnfield. He resided in the former town till 1781, when he settled in the northern part of Lynnfield. The house in which he lived is still standing, and is the oldest Tapley house known. Near it is the Tapley tomb. It was made of brick from the Tapley kilns, cousins of Joseph who built it in 1820, and he was the first to be interred therein. Through the generosity of Mr. David Hews, of Cali- fornia, a grandson, the tomb and the old home- stead have been repaired, and they are land- marks toward which the Tapley kindred make frequent pilgrimages. He met his death by accident while driving a load of wood drawn by steers. The road was slippery, and he fell under the sled, his body mangled, from which he died. He was a man universally beloved. He married, August 19, 1758, Mary, daughter of his father's second wife by a former mar- riage. She died March 13, 1814. He married next, Rowena Page, who died October 27, 1860. Children : Polly, Betsy, Aaron, Sally, Phebe Putnam, Ruth, Joseph, Jesse, Clarissa, Lucy. By the second union he had Miranda and Sarah A.
(VI) Captain Jesse, second son of Joseph and Mary (Smith) Tapley, was born in Lynn- field, at the old Tapley homestead, June 30, 1788, and died in Springfield, Massachusetts, June 2, 1877. He attended the district school in winter, and worked on his father's farm summers, until he attained his majority, when he began farming on his own account on the Orne place in Lynnfield. Here he prospered, and was one of the rising men of the town, serving as selectman. In May, 1814, he was sergeant in the militia, and arose through successive gradation to ensign, lieutenant and captain. During the war of 1812 his com- pany was called into service on several occa- sions. In 1830 he became the proprietor of the Lynnfield hotel, on the Boston and New- buryport road, which was a relay for the stage
horses in the run between these two points and was the stopping-place for many men of note traveling from Portland, Portsmouth and Newburyport to Boston. As all taverns were expected to dispense liquid refreshments, which was against his principles to do, he soon sold out, removing in 1832 to Lowell, then a village of some eight thousand inhabitants. He foresaw the outcome that so much un- developed water power would be the location of a thriving city there some day, and he resolved to invest in real estate. He was en- gaged in transporting the manufactured pro- ducts of the mills to Boston by teams, hauling back the raw cotton. Even in those infant days of the Lowell textile industry, the mov- ing of its output was a considerable under- taking, requiring many horses. The advent of the Boston & Lowell railroad put an end to this. Mr. Tapley was not a man to give up as some do, but he accepted the situation and fell in with the march of progress, entering with renewed energy and perseverance into the building trade, excavating cellars, building foundations, also furnishing building material. From this he drifted into supplying ship tim- ber for the shipyards in Boston, which was a great business in those times, and makes one almost cry out in shame in comparison with the present state of our seagoing commerce, which both coastal and ocean-borne is now mainly carried in liners floating a flag other than our own. In politics he was a Henry Clay Whig, but a Republican when it was time to be such, when the great question of slavery arose. He hated slavery with the venom he hated rum. He was a man of strong religious convictions and of unbending morality. He joined the Baptists in his mature years, and was a consistent member thereof, an active worker therein, and constant attendant upon its services until creeping age admonished him to retire. He gave his children the best educa- tional advantages the city afforded, and brought them up to be Christian young men and women who loved their Lord and Master. It is from such homes that good citizenry is evolved, and who honor the father and mother that reared them and reflect credit upon their cradle-land. He married Eliza W., sister of the Rev. Gustavus S. Davis, a famous evangel- ist. She was born June II, 1798, died at Lowell, February 10, 1874. She was a true helpmeet, endowed with womanly graces, one of the mothers in Israel, held in the highest esteem by all who knew her. His remains and those of his wife are interred in the family

plot in Lowell cemetery. Children: Gustavus, Jesse Fellows, Sarah Elizabeth, Eliza Ann Davis, Mary Abigail, George Wendall and Mary Abbie.
(VII) George Wendall, third son of Cap- tain Jesse and Eliza (Davis) Tapley, was born in Lowell, September 1, 1835. He was edu- cated in the public schools of that city, and from fifteen to eighteen was employed as a clerk in Hopkins & Bridgman's bookstore at Northampton, Massachusetts, and next in a grocery store. When he was eighteen he learn- ed the bookbinders' trade, and was employed as a journeyman in Springfield three years, and in 1856 in Salem for two years, then. in the bindery of the Ohio State Journal at Columbus (the paper on which William Dean Howells began his literary career) for six months. Later he worked in Milwaukee, Galesburg, Illinois, and Providence, Rhode Island. In the latter city in 1858 he started a bindery as foreman with H. N. & B. F. Adams, and in 1859 he bought the business, but it was in the panic times, and the business went down in the financial crisis. In 1860 he came to Springfield, Massachusetts, and en- gaged as a workman in the office of the Re- publican bindery department, then conducted by the elder Samuel Bowles. In 1866 he with C. A. Brigham started the manufacture of cardboard and linen finish collar paper, and later he bought out his associate. In 1882 he was joined by V. M. Taylor, who brought trade into the concern, and in 1885 this com- pany was merged with two New York concerns under the style of The United Manufacturing Company. In 1878 Mr. Tapley bought the property of the Milton-Bradley Company and organized a corporation. It does a large busi- ness in manufacturing kindergarten goods, toys, games, and home amusements, and does all kinds of lithograph printing and engrav- ing. He is president of the Milton-Bradley Company, of the United Manufacturing Com- pany, and the Baptist Mutual Relief Associa- tion ; vice-president of the Fibreloid Company of Springfield, and a director in the Spring- field National Bank. He has always been a Republican, and was a member of the com- mon council in 1870, and the board of alder- man in 1879-80-84-86. ITis religious prefer- ences are of the Baptist persuasion, and he joined the church in Galesburgh when a jour- neyman there. He has that steadfastness of purpose and devotion to an ideal which has tided him over some rough places, from which
he has the capacity of extricating himself with ease. Once when a young man in a New York hotel, his room was entered and his railroad ticket and all the money he had in the world stolen. Resolutely he set to work to retrieve his scattered fortunes. Again, in 1860, he lost in business not only all he had, but eight hun- dred dollars of borrowed money, every dollar of which was faithfully repaid within a year. In 1866 his business, owing to the sharp com- petition in trade, was again near the red flag of the auctioneer, but each time he recouped himself, and was stronger than before, stand- ing A-I in the credit world. To-day he is at the head of some of the great concerns in Springfield. March 19, 1861, he married Mary E. Wells, born February 2, 1838, daugh- ter of Elisha C. Wells, of Providence, Rhode Island. She died March 20, 1869, leaving one child, William W., whose sketch follows. In June, 1872, Mr. Tapley was united in marriage with Hannah, daughter of the late Francis Sheffield, of Pawcatuck, Connecticut.
(VIII) William W., only son of George Wendall and Mary E. (Wells) Tapley, was born in Springfield, August 8, 1867, and was educated in the city schools. At the age of eighteen he went into the office of the Milton- Bradley Company as office boy, and in 1890 went on the road as a traveling salesman for the school end of the business. The output of the company dealing largely with school sup- plies. In 1895 he took entire charge of the school trade and re-systematized it, establish- ing local agencies. In 1901 he was made assist- ant treasurer, and in 1907. treasurer; 1896 a director. He is a director in the Union Trust Company and the Thomas Charles Company, of Chicago. He is a Republican in politics, and was a member of the common council in 1899-90, and of the board of alderman in 1891-92. He is a member of the State Street Baptist Church. He belongs to the Winthrop Club, is a Mason of Knight Templar rank, and a member of the Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of the Royal Arcanum, and the Springfield Country Club, and the Sons of American Revolution. He is one of the enter- prising members of Springfield's younger ele- ment. He married. May 20, 1891, Mary Evan- geline, daughter of Deacon George A. Russell, ( which see ). Children : Miriam, born March 10, 1892: Beatrice, September 21. 1894: Mary Wells, January 31, 1896; and Russell William, July 23, 1899.
