KIMBALL Richard Kimball, immigrant ancestor, was born in Eng- land. He embarked with his family at Ipswich, England, April 10, 1634, in the ship "Elizabeth," William Andrews, Master. He landed at Boston and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts. On the shipping list his age is given as thirty-nine, but other evidence shows that he was older. The ages on shipping lists were commonly understated. He was, however, in the prime of life, and soon became an active and prominent man in the new settlement. His homestall of six acres was bounded on the north by the Cam- bridge line, on the east by land of W. Ham- let, south by the highway, and west by land of Edward White. The lot was a long way from the centre of the village, and is now in the city of Cambridge, near what is now the corner of Huron avenue and Appleton street. He was admitted a freeman May 6, 1635, and was proprietor in 1637. Soon afterward he was invited to remove to the town of Ipswich, where they were in need of a competent wheelwright, and he spent the remainder of his days there. The town granted him a house lot February 23, 1637, next adjoining Good- man Simonds, at the west end of the town, and also, forty acres beyond the North river. He was a commoner of Ipswich in 1641; selectman 1645; contributed to the Denison fund; was one of a committee in 1653 to survey fences in the common fields. He mar- ried Ursula Scott, daughter of Henry Scott, of Rattlesden, county Suffolk, England. Henry Scott was buried at Rattlesden, De- cember 24, 1624. His will, dated September ii-22

This land was in what was later Bradford. His house was in the west part of Bradford, not far from the ancient cemetery. He was a wheelwright as well as a carpenter and farmer. He owned a fourth part of a saw mill at Haverhill, near Annsbury, bought of Matthew Harrison. At the first town meeting of Merrimanck, later Bradford, Feb- ruary 20, 1668, he was elected an overseer of the town. He bought various other lots of land in Bradford. He and his brother, Richard Kimball, were soldiers in 1683-84 in Captain Appleton's company. Another brother, Thomas, was killed by the Indians May 3, 1676. Benjamin was a cornet of horse troops.

(VII) Rev. James (2), son of James (I) Kimball, was born in Bradford, October 3, 1797, died in St. Louis, Missouri, March 16, 1861. He was educated at Middlebury College and Andover Theological Seminary. He was for two years city missionary of Boston. For five years he was settled as pastor in Town- send, Vermont, and was installed over the church at Oakham, Massachusetts, December 26, 1832. He served as pastor for twenty- eight years, being dismissed December 26, 1860, on account of failing health. He then went to reside with his daughter in St. Louis, Missouri, where he died. His ministry was very successful, four hundred and thirty-three being added to the church membership during his pastorate. He was a peace-loving man, and his tact kept his congregation together during the controversy between the Unitarians and Orthodox at that time. "He did not preach great sermons, but was an acceptable preacher, and as a pastor his worth cannot be over esti- mated." He was one of the founders of the American Board of Missions, and was per- sonally acquainted with many of the early missionaries. He loved the cause, and impart- ed much zeal in this work to his church. He was a member of the school committee and his influence for good over the children and youth of the town was remarkable.

(VIII) Captain William Bird, son of Rev. James (2) Kimball, was born in Oakham, Massachusetts, June 2, 1833, died at Enfield, Massachusetts, January 22, 1908. He attend- ed the public schools and entered Amherst College, from which he was graduated in the class of 1856. Soon after his graduation and marriage, he bought the historic farm known as the Maynard place on the Northborough road in the town of Westborough, Massachu- setts. At the very beginning of the civil war he enlisted, one of the first in the Westborough company, in May, 1861, and when sworn into the United States service July 16 following was made orderly sergeant of Company K. "He fitted the office admirably-his genial manners, his courteous and sunny disposition made him the friend of everyone he was brought in contact with," writes W. R. Warner at the time of his death. "Captain Charles H. Hovey, a man not given to undeserved praise, often pronounced him the best orderly ser- geant in the regiment." It was the writer's privilege to be one of the same mess-the five sergeants, the eight corporals and the 'two musicians occupying the same tent from July 16, 1861, to January, 1862, when for our win- ter quarters on the banks of the Potomac at Williamsport, Maryland, we built a wooden hut in which we lived for three months. Of the fifteen who made up that pleasant har- monious household, all are now gone except Dr. Frank L. Stone, of Westborough, and the writer. Mr. Kimball was made commissary sergeant of the regiment May 1, 1862, and commissioned second lieutenant May 25, fol- lowing. He was placed on detached service at the army headquarters in the commissary department July 11, 1862, and continued until February 28, 1863, when he was promoted to first lieutenant and joined his regiment. He took an active part in the battle of Chan- cellorsville in May, 1863, and at Gettysburg, July 1, 2 and 3 of the same year. "Then fol-

lowed in November what was known as the Mine Run campaign where a battle was wisely not fought out and a hopeless charge not made. In Swinton's "Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac," and also in Count de Paris's "History of the Civil War," it is recorded that "seeing the proposed attack was beyond the bounds of human possibility, the soldiers quietly pinned slips of paper on their blouses on which each had written his name." Mr. Warner quotes from his diary, under date of Sunday, November 29, 1863: "About noon Kimball asked me to go with him to the brow of the hill, where he could look over the field and see the rebel works on the other side of Mine Run. There he told me that word had come that a charge would be made about four p. m. and that the signal would be given when fighting commenced on the left of the line. He then gave me some instruction about his family and friends, in case he was killed, and I did the same with him. It has been a sober afternoon for us all. Not a man believed that a charge could successfully be made over the plain and across the creek, and the hours passed anxiously until the dusk partially assured us that no attack was possible for that (lay." "A flood of tender recollections of this and other days comes pouring in upon me as I recall Kimball's always calm exterior and noble scorn of death, as we talked of home and friends. Such times reveal men to each other-you see more the tender and uncon- scious purpose, the real moral basis that exists down deep in the hearts of some of our com- rades."
Mr. Kimball was promoted captain, October 4. 1863, and assigned to the command of Com- pany K, and continued until the company was mustered out July 16, 1864. In May and June came the series of battles under Grant. from the Wilderness to Petersburg. When he returned, he located in Enfield, his farm at Westborough having been sold, but he never lost his interest in that town where so many of his comrades lived. He frequently visited friends of his younger days, especially the boys of his company, and his visits were always welcome. He always attended the annual re- union of his regiment each December.
Captain Kimball became one of the leading citizens of Enfield. He held most of the offices of trust and honor in the gift of his townsmen and year by year he grew in the esteem and confidence of his neighbors. He was town treasurer, assessor, overseer of the poor, town clerk, selectman and for several terms repre-
sentative to the general court. He was espe- cially interested in the schools and was for more than thirty years member of the school committee. The school children of more than one generation remember with pleasure his frequent visits to the school room when they were pupils. In politics he was a Republican. In religion he was a Congregationalist. Cap- tain Kimball was thoroughly upright and con- scientious in all his dealings with other men, of sterling character, winning personality, ex- ceptional ability. He was a prosperous farmer, a useful citizen. One cannot close a sketch of
his life more appropriately than to quote the words of his comrade : "Captain Kimball lived out the measure of his days of three score years and ten, with four more years of mild decline and decay of strength and mind, but always the same man all through that life of seventy-four years, generous to a fault, unassuming, often forgetful of self and
always mindful of others. *
* letter from Stearns, before me, speaks with interest- ing pathos of the 'dear old comrade.' Walker writes that 'the world seems lonesome' when he thinks that Kimball is gone. Young people will hardly understand the keen feelings of friendship the strong ties that were formed and cemented by three years of comradeship in the army."
He married, February 17, 1858, Frances C. Woods, born at Enfield, August 8, 1835, daugh- ter of Josiah B. and Frances K. (Belcher) Woods. (See Woods, VI).
