(I) Esaias Stillman was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and died in Warren, Massachu- setts, in 1825. He removed to Petersburg, New York, and was a goldsmith, and later a inachinist, serving in the war of 1812. He married Betsey Watson, daughter of James Blair, of Warren. Children: James Blair, Olive, Mary, Arminda, Elizabeth and Amos. (II) James Blair, eldest son of Esaias and Betsey W. (Blair) Stillman, was born in Petersburgh, in 1808, died in Springfield, Massachusetts, in October, 1898. He went to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in early manhood, and learned the carpenter's trade. In 1835 he came to Springfield and entered the United States armory, remaining in the government employ for fifty-six years, enough of itself to confirm our statement that he was a faithful and efficient artisan. Upon his resignation from the armory the following general order was issued :

"National Armory, Springfield, Mass., July 15th, 1891. Series of 1891.

Post Orders,

No. 27.

Mr. James Stillman formally resigned June 30th last, but was desired, during the suspen- sion of work, to reconsider it. Persisting, however, in his desire to cease work, there thus closes an exceptionally long, faithful and honorable career at this Armory.

Mr. Stillman's name appears for the first time among Armory employes on the rolls of iii-27

October, 1835; and since November, 1841, excepting for a few weeks' time, he has been a foreman, thus being an employe nearly 56 years. In all this time, this faithful and con- scientious workman has not only given the time, for which he has received payment, but his brains, to the service of the Government, he having improved upon the old Blanchard stock-turning machine, and extended the prin- ciples of it into machines for bedding groov- ing and milling gun stocks, now used at the Armory.

By order of Colonel A. R. BUFFINGTON, Fremont P. Peck,

Lieutenant Ordance Department,

Post Adjutant." Mr. Stillman also invented the Springfield- Stillman gun. It was fired by a lock set in a prolongation of the tang of the breech-screw. The firing pin-screw is replaced by a stop-pin, kept in place by the breech block cap. The calibre is .50 and weight two pounds and five ounces. He also invented a hammerless breech- loading gun, which was sold to the Whitney gun works of New Haven. It consists of the combination of a solid recoil block which turns back exposing the rear end of the bore for the insertion of the cartridge with a separate lock- ing piece or brace, having its bearing con- structed as described and swinging on a sep- arate center from any other part of the gun, these parts being combined with and operated by the springs and thumb pieces and in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth. Arranging the brace so as to half cock the gun by means of its thumb pieces, and with the same motion which allows the breech piece to swing back and expose the rear end of the bore, substantially as described. He was a Congregationalist and a Republican. He was a quiet man withal companionable, fond of a joke and a good story. He married Julia Ann, daughter of Wanton and Sarah (Starkweather) Carr, of Chesterfield, Massachusetts. She was born in 1816 and died in 1853 in Springfield. They were the parents of Clarissa Elizabeth (unmarried), Eugenia Louise, married Charles. A. Call, of Springfield, and Eugene (died young). Mr. Stillman married (second) in 1857, Maria S. Brown, who died in 1871, aged fifty-four. No issue.

The name of Reed is found not REED only in England where it has been common from the time surnames came into use and as a clan name before that time, but in Ireland, Scotland and various

countries on the continent of Europe. The name at present is spelled generally in three ways-Reed, Reid and Reade. The genealogy of the Read family of Kent, England, dates back to 1139 to Brianus de Rede, of Morpeth on the Wensback river in the north of Eng- land.

William Reed removed to Muddy River (Brookline ), having bought of Esdras Reed, said to have been his brother, a farm granted by the town of Boston, and he lived there until 1648. He then bought a farm in Woburn of Nicholas David and removed thither. He is the ancestor of the Woburn, Lexington, Bed- ford and Burlington Reads, and of most of

(The Burgess Line).

The name Burgess is a title, civil or official. In England the inhabitant of a burgh or bor- ough is a burgess, and the orthography of the name in England is well preserved and may be traced back four centuries. In America various spellings have been used, Burghess, Burges, Burgis, Borgis, Burge, Burg, and the most common spelling is Burgess.

(I), Thomas Burgess, immigrant ancestor, came from England about 1630, landing at Salem, and stayed for a time in Lynn. He brought his family with him, and July 3, 1637, was granted land in Duxbury. This he for- feited by his removal to Sandwich the same year, and it was assigned to Nicholas Robbins, who paid him for the improvements which had , been made upon the land. Thomas Burgess was one of the first settlers of Sandwich and Savage calls him "a chief man of them." He was an original member of the church in 1638 and became a large land holder. He served the town in nearly every office, and was deputy to the general court at Plymouth for several years. The estate which he occupied remained in the family for many generations, and in 1863 the cellar of his house could still be seen. He died February 13, 1685, aged eighty-two years, and his grave was marked by a stone imported from England. "It was the only monument," says Amos Otis, "set up for any. pilgrim of the first generation." His wife Dorothy died February 27, 1687. His will was dated April 4, 1684, and proved March 5, 1685.
