(XXI) Elijah Walden, eldest child of Eli- jah and Clarine (White) Dickinson, was born in Hadley, February 29, 1816, died in Spring- field, September 9, 1885. He was educated in the common schools and at Hopkins Acad- emy. "He was a close student and at one time traveled as a lecturer for a panorama of the Holy Land. He also taught school at Hadley and other places and in 1840 went to Springfield, where he was principal of the grammar school which was afterward taken charge of by Mr. Charles Barrows. Later he went into the furniture establishment of Robert Crossett where he learned the up- holstering business, and continued in the busi- ness until 1862, when he went into the furni- ture business in the Union Block. He sold out in 1868, and a year later became a mem- ber of the undertaking firm of Fisk & Dickin- son, the firm having formerly been Pomeroy & Fisk. In 1872 Mr. Fisk retired and the firm of E. W. Dickinson & Company was es- tablished. Mr. Dickinson was a member of the common council from ward three in 1855. but never sought office. Before the war he was an abolitionist to the core and was count- ed with the "under ground railway" that aid- ed slaves to escape, and was a firm friend of John Brown and other workers in the anti- slavery cause. He was one of the first dea- cons of the North Church, but some thirty years before his death with several others be- came a Spiritualist and left the church. In speaking of this change, he always said it was "a matter of conscience with him, that he left the church at great personal sacrifice, but in accordance with his firm convictions. He was a good citizen and his death was a loss to the community." Elijah W. Dickinson married, November -, 1839, Mary Abbott Crossett, born February 18, 1814, died in Springfield, November 17, 1859. She was the daughter of Robert and Mary (Abbott) Cros- sett (see Abbott). Robert Crossett, of New Salem, was born May 18, 1781, son of Sam- uel and Abigail (Cady) Crossett, and grand-

son of Robert Crossett, who served in the revolutionary war at Bennington, Vermont, 1777. It is also claimed by his kinsmen that Samuel Crossett served in the revolutionary war at Ticonderoga, where he was made a prisoner by the Indians, but after great suf- fering affected his escape. After her mother died, Mary Abbott Crossett was brought up in Elijah Abbott's family until old enough to take care of herself. She attended school at the academy in Hadley, where she met Mr. Dickinson, whom she afterward married. She was a member of the North Congrega- tional Church. Four children were born of this union. I. Mary Abbott, born August 31. 1840, died in Springfield, August, 1877. 2. Arthur Stuart, August 11, 1844, married, in Agawam. April 9. 1872, Anna Robinson Marsh, born in Northfield, Massachusetts, July 29, 1853, daughter of Edwin A. and Bet- sey (Presho) Marsh, of Agawam.

(XXII) Francke Walden, second son of Elijah W. and Mary A. (Crossett) Dickin- son, was born in Springfield, April 19, 1849. He was educated in the public and private schools of Springfield, and learned the busi- ness in which his father was engaged. In March, 1873. Arthur S. and Francke W. Dickinson became associated with their father in business under the firm name of F. W. Dickinson & Company, and carried on the en- terprise until September, 1874, when the father and Francke W. bought out the inter- est of Arthur S. After the death of Elijah W. Dickinson, Francke W. became the sole owner of the business which he has since car- ried on successfully. Mr. Dickinson has al- ways taken an active interest in municipal af- fairs, and being endowed with good judg- ment, executive ability, and a pleasing per- sonality, he has often been chosen to serve the people. In 1888-90 he served as a mem- ber of the common council of Springfield, and in 1891 was president of that body. In 1903- 04 he was a member of the board of alder- men. In 1904, having discharged his public duties in such a manner as to receive the ap- probation of his fellow citizens, he became a candidate for mayor and was elected, serving 1905-06. In 1908 he was elected state sena- tor, and during the following session was a

chairman of the committee on election laws and member of the committee on cities, and of the commission on federal relations. In 1908 he was again elected to the senate and served with the approbation of his constitu- ency as a member and chairman of the com- mittee on cities, member committee on rules and committee on insurance, and in the dis- charge of his other duties as an officer. He is a Republican and always a consistent sup- porter of the principles of his party and a public servant whose conduct has ever been above reproach. He is a member of Spring- field Lodge, F. and A. M .; Morning Star Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Springfield Council; Springfield Commandery, Knights Templar ; and Massachusetts Consistery, Sub- lime Princes of the Royal Secret, in which he has received the thirty-second degree, and of Melha Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is also a member of the Royal Arcanum and is past grand re- gent of that order, and trustee of the supreme council. He is an Odd Fellow, being a mem- ber of Hampden Lodge, No. 27; and Aga- wam Encampment, Patriarchs Militant. He attends the Third Congregational Church (Unitarian). Francke W. Dickinson was married in Springfield, January 16, 1873, to Katie May Allgood, born in Cincinnati, Ohio. June 27, 1854, daughter of James Allgood, of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have had three chil- dren : I. Emma Allgood, born December 4. 1873, died February 14, 1884. 2. Ethel May, July 16, 1875, married, January 1, 1900, Ed- ward William Beattie, Jr., and resides in Springfield, Massachusetts. 3. Henry Wal- den, September 13, 1876, died September 6, 1896.

(The Abbott Line).

(I) George Abbott, pioncer settler, was probably born in England, and died in Row- ley, Essex county, Massachusetts, in 1647. He was one of the first settlers of Rowley, where he took his family from England about 1642. On account of the loss of the early records of Rowley, little is known of George Abbott, and the date of the death of his wife is unknown, nor is it certain that she came to America. In accordance with cns- tom, Mr. Abbott probably deeded most of his estate before his death to his eldest son, Thomas Abbott Sr. His inventory of effects amounted ninety-five pounds two shillings eiglit pence. The estates of his sons, how- ever, indicate that he owned much more land

than there is any record of in his day. He probably had a large share in the undivided lands of the town, which were afterwards dis- tributed to his heirs. George Abbott left three children, born in England; Thomas, George and Nehemiah.

(II) George (2), second son of George (1) Abbott, born in England, about 1631, came to Massachusetts with his father's family probably about 1642. He lived in Rowley about fourteen years and in 1655 moved to that part of Andover afterwards North An- dover, but now Andover Center. He was a tiller of the soil and a tailor, very thrifty and industrious, and for that day was financially well off, being, as shown by the tax list, one of the five wealthiest men in the town. He was a member of Sergeant James Osgood's militia company, 1658-9, and had previously been a member of Sergeant Steven's com- pany. He became a freeman May 19, 1669, and was elected constable June 3, 1680, "for ye north end of ye town for ye year ensu- ing". Whether he held other town offices or not it is impossible to determine, as there were so many other George Abbotts. For many years he had charge of the north meet- ing house, Andover, and it was voted to al- low him the use of a part of the parsonage lands for his services in repairing the meet- ing house, he agreeing to "mend ye pulpit cushions, and to get ye meeting-house lock mended". In 1675 he was paid "for sweep- ing ye meeting-house and ringing ye bell, thirty shillings per annum". June 1, 1676, he bought nine acres "of upland on ye north side of Joseph Marble's land, provided it be not judicial to Richard Barker, and he is to pay for it nine pounds in sweeping ye meet- ing-house and ringing ye bell at thirty shill- ings per annum". He was also town drum- mer. It was the custom at one time to beat the drum as the signal for service and daily labor, "and none but a sober and industrious man could be chosen for such duties". George Abbott probably had charge in all about thirty years, some of his sons tempo- rarily taking his place about the time of his death. He received numerous grants or as- signments of land from Andover, but they were scattered, and none large. He was a party to many real estate transactions with individuals. He was a thrifty man and at his death was well off". He died intestate, in Andover, March 22, 1689, aged fifty-eight years. He was married, in Ipswich, by "Mr. Gradstreet", April 26, 1658, to Sarah Far-

num, who was probably born in Massachu- setts about 1638, daughter of Ralph and Alice Farnum, of Andover. She was married (sec- ond) by Rev. Francis Dane, August 1, 1689, to Sergeant Henry Ingalls, and died in 1728, aged ninety years. Children of George and Sarah Abbott: George, Sarah, John, Mary, Nehemiah, Hannah, Mehitable (died young), Lydia, Samuel and Mehitable.

(III) George (3), eldest son of George (2) and Sarah (Farnum) Abbott, was born Jan- uary 26, 1659, in Andover, and died January 24, 1724. He was a farmer and shoemaker, and resided in Andover. His father gave him sixteen acres of upland, on which he built a house during his father's life. He also re- ceived from his father's estate, when divided, two pieces of meadow, live stock, household effects, etc. November 9, 1723, for sixty pounds, he sold his brother Obed, of Salem, certain land in Andover, and October 25, 1723, he deeded certain lands to his son Uri- ah Abbott. There were so many Abbotts in Andover bearing his forename, that it is not possible to tell what if any offices he held. His will, dated October I, 1724, was probated December 7, 1724, and his son Uriah named as executor. He was married (first) in An- dover, by Rev. Francis Dane, September 13, 1689, to Elizabeth Ballard, of Andover, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Phelps) Ballard, granddaughter of William Ballard, the twenty-third pioneer settler of Andover, and a large landholder there. She died May 6, 1706. He married (second) July 21, 1707, Hannah Estey of Topsfield, born there in 1667, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Town) Estey, and granddaughter of Jeffrey Estey, who first bought land in Salem, Massachu- setts, in 1636. Mary Estey, mother of Mrs. Abbott, was executed at Salem for witch- craft, September 22, 1692. Hannah Abbott died in Topsfield, November 5, 1741. Chil- dren all by first wife: George, Uriah, Ja- cob, Elizabeth, Obed, Moses, Peter, Sarah and Hannah.

(IV) Peter, sixth son of George (3) and Elizabeth ( Ballard) Abbott, was born in An- dover, July 27, 1701, and died probably in 1785. He was a yeoman, and lived in Brook- field, where he first bought "four score" acres of land, for sixty pounds, on the south side of the Quaboag river, joining Quaboag pond, No- vember 13, 1725. He was a soldier in the Col- onial wars, and his service is stated in the Massachusetts Archives as follows: "Private seventeen weeks two days, July 17. 1722, Col-

onel Shadraek Walton's command ; discharged November 14, 1722; private four weeks four days, November 22, 1734, in Colonel Thomas Westbrook's command; discharged Deeember 23, 1724". He was in the revolution, although at the time he was seventy-seven years old. There were stores in Brookfield which at one time had to be guarded, and men of his age could do sueh duty. His name is on the list of men who served to the eredit of the third pre- cinct of Brookfield, dated June 30, 1778, cred- ited with four and a half months service. His will, dated April 27, 1744, was probated April 26, 1785, and his son Joel was made executor and to him the entire estate was given, pro- vided he paid certain legacies, ete. His father had previously deeded him, November II, 1760, half of his real estate, ninety and one half acres, building, etc. His other bequests were: To sons Nathan, Jesse and John, twen- ty pounds each, "lawful silver money"; to daughters Lydia, Prudence and Sarah, fifteen pounds each; and forty pounds to daughter Elizabeth. He married, in Brookfield, Wor- eester county, 1730, Lydia Gilbert, probably born there, January 3, 1712, daughter of Sam- tel and Lydia ( Barnes) Gilbert, of Brook- field. Children born in Brookfield: Nathan (died young) ; Joel, Damaris, Gideon, Eliza- beth, Nathan, Jesse, Moses, Joshua, Lydia, Prudence, Sarah and John.

(V) Corporal Joel, second son of Peter and Lydia (Gilbert) Abbott, was born in Brook- field, January 1 or 12, 1732, and died in Brimfield, January 23, 1823, aged ninety-one vears. He served as a corporal during the French and Indian war, 1752-53, in Captain William Page's company, of Hardwick; pri- vate, fifteen weeks three days, in Captain Dan- iel Brewer's company, Colonel Whitcomb's regiment, in Crown Point expedition, August 26 to December 11, 1755, nine days billeting being allowed ; private July 10 to December 31, 1756, in General Abercombie's expedition ; eor- poral thirty-four weeks one day, in Captain William Paige's company, in Crown Point ex- pedition, April 6 to November 30, 1758; cor- poral at age of twenty-six years, in Colonel Timothy Ruggle's regiment, General Am- herst's Canadian expedition ; enlisted April 6, 1759, and equipped himself.

The last named married Elijah Wal- den Diekinson (see Diekinson XXI).

POMEROY

The Pomeroy family of Eng- land and America is de- seended from Ralph de Pom-

eroy, a knight of William the Conqueror. He took his name from the parish of S. Savern de la Pomeraye in the department of La Manehe in Normandy. He founded a great and famous family in England, and he or his descendants named Berry Pomeroy in Devon- shire, the ancient seat of the family. Ralph de Pomeroy held fifty-eight lordships at the time of the survey of the Domesday Book. The name Pommeraye in old French means orchard, and it is easy to see how it came to be first a place name and then a surname. All the families of this name seem to belong to the Devonshire family, the coat-of-arms of which is: Argent a lion rampant sable within a bor- dure unvecked sable. Crest: A fir eone charged with a bezant. All the Pomeroy, Pom- eral, Pommeray and other families in England, however spelled, of this ancestry, bear similar armorials.

(I) Riehard Pomeroy, father of the Ameri- ean immigrant, lived in the parish of Beamin- ster, Dorsetshire, England. Among his chil- dren were : 1. Eltweed, christened July 4, 1585, mentioned below. 2. Edward, baptized March 4. 1591, buried at Beaminster July 19, 1592. 3. Henry, baptized August 5, 1593.

(II) Eltweed, son of Riehard Pomeroy, was chistened (the word used in the record, while his brothers were baptized) at the Bea- minster church, July 4, 1585. Of his life in Beaminster we know little. He was well edu- cated certainly. He married (first) Joan Keech, at Beaminster, May 4, 1617. His wife was buried at Beaminster, November 27, 1620. (records from A. A. Leonard, vicar.) He married (second) being then of Beaminster (Beaminster), May 7, 1627, Margery Rockett. (Reeord from Gerbert C. Gaye, rector, from

the register of the Crewkerne parish church.) With his second wife and his son Eldad he came to America in 1630 in the ship "Mary and John," Captain Squibb. He settled in Dor- chester, as it was called, and from the first was a prominent citizen. He was admitted a free- man, March 4, 1632. He was one of the pro- prietors and founders of the town of Dorches- ter, and presided at the first town meeting, be- ing first selectman. Though the idea of the town meeting did not originate in this town, "this Dorchester town meeting-the first in America, was the model of all the town meet- ings in New England, and the germ of our American Commonwealths," said the Outlook recently. Near by was soon established "the first free school supported by general taxation in America." The meeting was held in the church or meeting-house in which the first ser- vice was held in June, 1630. The meeting house stood at the corner of what is now East Cottage and Pleasant streets, Dorchester, now part of Boston. It was built of logs, surround- ed by palisades and had a thatched roof. A sentinel was kept on guard, so that it served as a place of refuge and defense against the In- dians. Pomeroy was an armorer and gunsmith by trade and must have been an exceedingly valuable man in the colony. He was appointed constable of Dorchester by the general court, June 3, 1634. In 1636-37 he emigrated with Rev. John Warham's congregation to Wind- sor, Connecticut. His house and lot there were within the Palisado. He had a grant of land in 1638; sold land to Thomas Newell in 164I and later gave land to his sons Caleb and Joseph. He had had a seat of honor on the "long seats" in the meeting house. In 1671 he removed to Northampton, Massachusetts, to live with his son Medad and tradition says that in his last years he was blind. He died in 1673 and was doubtless buried in the Bridge street burial ground, Northampton. His second wife died at Windsor, July 5, 1655. He married (third) Lydia (Brown) Parsons, widow of Thomas Parsons, November 30, 1664, and in 1665 made generous provision "for his dear and loving wife Lydia." Children of first wife: I. Dinah, died young. 2. Elizabeth, born November 27, 1619, died less than two years afterward. Children of second wife, Margery: 3. Eldad (probably named for his father, Eltweed being the same as Eldad), married Susanna Cunliffe. 4. Mary, died at Windsor, December 19, 1640. 5. John, died at Windsor in 1647. 6. Medad, baptized at Windsor, August 19, 1638, married (first)

Experience Woodward, ( second) Abigail (Strong) Chauncey, (third) Hannah ( War- ham) Noble ; he died at Northampton, Decem- ber 30, 1716; was deacon of the church at Northampton. 7. Caleb, baptized 1641, men- tioned below. 8. Mary, baptized April 1, 1644, died 1647. 9. Joshua, baptized November 22, 1646, died 1683; married Elizabeth Lyman and Abigail Cooke. 10. Joseph, baptized June 30, 1652, died September 22, 1734; married Hannah Lyman.

(III) Caleb, son of Eltweed Pomeroy, was baptized at Windsor, March 6, 1641. He was one of the first settlers of Northampton and was admitted a freeman in 1663. In 1686 he sold his farm at Northampton and moved to Southampton or Easthampton, near by, in Massachusetts. He died November 18, 1691. He was a soldier in the Falls Fight, May 19, 1676, in King Philip's war. He married, March 8, 1665, Hepsibah Baker, born May 10, 1646, daughter of Jeffry and Joan (Rockwell) Baker, of Windsor. Chil- dren: I. Hepzibah, born July 27, 1666, died young. 2. Samuel, May 29, 1669, mentioned below. 3. Abigail, October 26, 1671. 4.
