(The Foster Line).

The first that is known of the name of Fos- ter was about the year 1065, A. D., when Sir Richard Forrester went from Normandy over to England, accompanied by 'his brother-in- law, William the Conqueror, and participated in the victorious battle of Hastings. The name

was first Forrester, then Forester, then Foster. It signified one who had care of wild lands; one who loved the forest, a characteristic trait which has marked the bearers of the name through all the centuries that have followed. The Fosters seem to have located in the north- ern counties of England, and in the early cen- turies of English history participated in many a sturdy encounter with their Scottish foes. The name is mentioned in "Marmion" and the "Lay of the Last Minstrel."

During its existence the Foster family has been a hardy, persevering and progressive race, almost universally endowed with an in- tense nervous energy ; there have been many instances of high attainments ; a bearer of the name has been, ex-officio, vice-president of the Republic ( Hon. Lafayette G. Foster, president pro tem, of the senate during Andrew John- son's administration ) ; another Hon. John W. Foster, of Indiana, was member of President Harrison's cabinet; another, Hon. Charles Foster, of Ohio, was the secretary of the treasury. Many have attained high positions in financial life, and many have gained promi- nence in military affairs. The record of Ma- jor-General John G. Foster through the Mexi- can war and the war of the Rebellion, stamped him as a soldier without fear and without re- proach. Professor Bell is the reported and ac- credited inventor of the telephone, but before that distinguished man had ever conceived the plan of electric transmission of the human voice, Joseph Foster, of Keane, New Hamp- shire, a mechanical genius, had constructed and put into actual use a telephone embodying practically the same working plan as the Bell machine. The Foster family has an authentic record covering a period of nearly one thou- sand years. It has furnished to the world its share of the fruits of toil; it has contributed its share to enterprise and progress. Wherever it appears in the affairs of men it bears its crest ; the iron arm holding the golden javelin poised toward the future.

(I) Christopher Foster was born in Eng- land in 1603. He came over in the "Abigail" in 1625, was made a freeman in 1637 in Bos- ton, the same year removed to Lynn, and in 1651 to Southampton, where he died in 1687.

William Bowman was a resi- BOWMAN dent of Brookfield, Massa- chusetts. He was a surveyor of land and the "History of Amherst" states that he surveyed the boundary line between that town and Shuntesburg, October 25, 1792. He was elected sealer of leather in 1798 and 1799. Family tradition says "he would have had a large grant of land but for the fact that

he died one hour before the messenger reached his residence with the grant." The "History of North Brookfield" names him as one of the minute-men of that town who enlisted for the term of six months, November 14, 1774. He married, May 23, 1769, Susannah, daugh- ter of Corlis and Janet (McMaster) Hinds. She was born in Brookfield, March 15, 1750, and was fourth in descent from James Hinds, the immigrant. She was noted for a gift of repartee inherited by some of her descendents. She died May 31, 1849, at the age of more than one hundred years.

(II) William (2), son of William ( I) and Susanna (Hines) Bowman, was born Decem- ber 22, 1776, in Brookfield, and died August 5, 1866, aged ninety. He was a farmer by oc- cupation ; a Whig and later a Republican in politics, and a Congregationalist in religion. He lived in Amherst, Hadley, Deerfield and Shutesbury, before settling in Sunderland, about 1825. He married, August 16, 1804, Tirzah, daughter of Caleb Hubbard. She died July 13, 1860.

He was a mason by trade, in religious belief a Baptist, and in politics a Republican. He lived at North Sunderland until 1859, and then re- moved to Springfield, where he lived the re- mainder of his life. He married, September 6, 1843. Persis Maria Field.

Persis Maria (Field) Bowman, wife of Caleb Hubbard Bowman, was sixteenth in de- scent from Roger del Feld (q. v.), of Sower- by, England. She was born August 25, 1818, in Deerfield, and is now living, at the venera- ble age of ninety-one years, with her son, Hen- ry H. Bowman, in Springfield. She was third daughter of Elisha and Persis (Hubbard) > Field. Her father was born in Leverett, Mas- sachusetts, February 19, 1781 ; settled in Sun- derland in 1806: in 1816 removed to Deerfield, where he died, August 25, 1865.

(IV) Henry Hubbard, only son of Caleb and Persis Maria (Field) Bowman, was born in Sunderland, Franklin county, Massachu- setts, June 1, 1849. He was educated in the public schools of Sunderland and Springfield, graduating from the high school of the lat- ter city in 1867. He was office boy for Howes Norris, agent for the Remington Arms Com- pany, and went from that employ to General Horace C. Lee, agent for the Lamb Knitting Machine Company. April 1, 1867, he took service in the Springfield Institution for Sav- ings as boy. There he remained until 1879, having been made assistant treasurer. `At that date he became cashier of the City Na- tional Bank, of which he was then one of the organizers. In 1893 he organized the Springfield National Bank and became its first president and has ever since held that office. The number and magnitude of the enterprises which Mr. Bowman has promoted and organized are the strongest evidence of his ability to recognize the possibilities of a proposition and to convince others of its merit. He organized and since its organiza- tion has been president and director of the United States Spring Bed Company ; he as- sisted in organizing the Holyoke Card and Paper Company, and has since been its treas- urer and one of its directors ; he was one of the organizers of the Confectioners' Ma- chinery and Manufacturing Company, of which he has since been treasurer and a di- rector ; he helped to organize the Consoli- dated Wrapping Machine Company, and is treasurer and a director of the company ; he is a director of the Automatic Weighing Ma- chine Company of New York of which he was an organizer, he is a director of the United Button Company of New York, and was also a member of the reorganization committee ; he was an organizer and is treas- urer and a trustee of the Springfield Realty Trust, director of the American Finance and Securities Company of New York, and was one of the organizers of the Fuller Realty Trust, of which he is president and a trustee. Mr. Bowman was active in politics for some years, and was a member of the common

council two years, the latter of which (1888) he was president of that body. He was a member of the board of aldermen three years, and presided over that body the last year of his service. He is a member of the Board of Trade, and was its president four consec- utive years (1904-1908), a longer term of ser- vice than that of any other president. He is treasurer of the City Library Association, treasurer of the International Y. M. C. A. Training School; treasurer of the Hitch- cock Free Academy of Brimfield; trus- tee of Wesson Memorial Hospital, and a member of the River Front Com- mission. He is a member of George Wash- ington Chapter, Sons of the American Rev- olution ; of the Connecticut Valley Historical Society ; and is affiliated with the following Masonic organizations : Springfield Lodge, F. and A. M .; Morning Star Royal Arch Chapter ; and Springfield Council, Royal and Select Masters. He is also a member of the Royal Arcanum, and of the following named clubs: Winthrop, Nayasset, Country, Eco- nomic, South Branch Fishing, Canadian Camp (of New York City) Engineers' (New York City), and The Club (a literary organi- zation). He is a member of the First High- land Church and is chairman of its board of directors. He is also an honorary member of the Naval Brigade. Mr. Bowman is a close observer, and has obtained much of his large stock of general information at first hand by travel. In 1878, in company with Ralph W. Ellis, he visited Europe and toured nearly every country, both continental and insular. In America he has become familiar with the United States and a large part of Canada and Mexico by travel.

PARSONS This patronymic comes from persona, Latin for mask. Ac- tors wore a wooden mask in early times so as to throw their voice out, a presagement of the modern telephone. Even- tually the actor was called after the mask he wore-dramatis personac. The possessor was called by the thing he possessed. The word had a double significance. In ecclesiastical language it was referable to a man of dignity and bestowed upon one with a benifice or liv- ing who committed the cure of souls to a vicar. Thus actors and parsons derived their names from the same root, though they are now diametrically opposed to cach other. We first had the form, the parson's son, or the par- son's John. This was finally and formally ab- breviated to Parsons. In early times the clergy were not bound to celibacy. The her- aldic designs of this family were. Gu. two chevronels ermine between three eagles dis- played or. Crest : An eagle's leg erased at the thigh or, standing on a leopard's face, gules. AAmong those of the name in America who have especially distinguished themselves liave been the learned Theophilus Parsons, chief justice of Massachusetts ; Andrew Parsons, governor of Michigan ; Lewis P. Parsons, gov- ernor of Alabama ; and General Lewis B. Par- sons. We find by the herald's visitations that the oldest known Parsons of record was John of Cuddington, A. D. 128.4. In the roll of pos- sessions in the Abbey of Malmesbury is the

name of William le Parsons in 1307. It was a south of England name not found much in the northern counties. Thomas Parsons was of the squirarchy and gentry of England, and lived at Great Milton in Oxfordshire.

(T) Hugh, son of Thomas Parsons, of Great Milton, had five children. We have the names of three-Robert, Joseph and Benja- min.

(TI) Benjamin, fifth son of Hugh Parsons, was born in Great Torrington, Devonshire, about 1627, and died August 24, 1689, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He came from England, and settled in Springfield in 1656. He was a brother to Cornet Joseph Parsons. He was constable, fence-viewer, on the com- mittee to make and seal a "Tole Dish" for measuring wheat and corn, overseer of high- ways, was selectman for a great many years. He was a witness to the Crawford agreement, was a juror in 1660 on a committee to grant lands, 1665-79. He was a witness at the trial of the slander suit of Cornet Joe Parsons vs. Bridgeman, who had charged Joe's wife with being a witch. In 1679 he was on a commit- tee to take a list of all ratable persons, also on committee to admit inhabitants. In 1681 he was fined for being absent at town meeting, and in 1685 was on the committee of the En- field boundary, and in 1687 to make a valua- tion of land. His pew in church was fourth from the deacon's seat. January 30, 1656, he was granted one acre by the town, provided he

continue to live in Springfield five years, and in 1660 he was granted land in what is now Suffield. In 1662 he was allotted one acre at Wet Meadow; in 1663 two acres of meadow near John Matheas; in 1664 land at Ship- muck; in 1669 still another tract in Pacow- sick meadow. He went back to England as a witness to his brother's will. He was said to have been of superior intellectual and social status from those by whom he was sur- rounded. He was eminent in the church, and an earnest worker and of great purity in pri- vate life. His estate inventoried two hundred twenty-two pounds. He married (first) Sarah Vore, November 6, 1653, in England; (sec- ond) Sarah ( Heald), widow of John Leonard who was killed by the Indians. She married after Benjamin's death, Peter Tilton of Had- ley.

Eleven centuries ago a DICKINSON soldier of fortune made hi's appearance at the court of Halfdan Huilbein, king of Norway. His name was Ivar. He had been a shep- herd and had been captured by the North- men and carried to sea. He became a favorite at the Norwegian court. The king made him general of his army and in 725 gave him his daughter Eurithea in marriage. He was called Prince of Uplands. When the king died the son of Ivar became heir to the throne and during his minority Ivar was re- gent. This son Eystein reigned until 755. He was succeeded by his son Harold Harfager. Rollo, a Prince of this line, overran Nor- mandy in 910. His sixth and youngest son,

Walter, received the castle and town of Caen as an inheritance. His great-grandson, Wal- ter de Caen, accompanied William, the Nor- man, to England at the time of the conquest. To this nobleman the line of Dickinsons des- cended from the first American pioneer, Na- thaniel, may be traced. Tradition says that the name Dickinson is taken from the fact that Walter De Caen lived in a manor in England, known as Kenson, and that ever af- terward the name was De Kenson, now Dickinson. Nathaniel is the fifteenth in this line, as follows :

(I) Walter de Caen, later Walter de Ken- son, taking the name from his manor in Yorkshire.
