He married (first) August 1, 1734, Elizabeth Clement, who bore him eleven children. His second wife, Mehitable Marsh, bore him twelve, and died over eighty-nine years of age. Joseph Haynes was noted for his integrity and good sense. In early life he affiliated with the West Parish church, and publicly charged the minister, Mr. Bachellor, with preaching false doctrines. In the controversy that ensued he wrote and published several pamphlets on the subject, and finally effected the removal of the pastor. In later life he was a member of the Baptist church presided over by Rev. Dr. Smith, previously mentioned. Children of second marriage: Rebecca, Joseph Haynes, John Phillips, Nathaniel Hazen, Daniel Apple- ton, Charlotte, Polly, Trueworthy, Mary, Anna and George.

(VI) Daniel Appleton, sixth son of John (3) White, and fifth son of his second wife, was born June 7, 1776, in Methuen, and died March 30. 1861, in Salem, Massachusetts. In 1792 he fitted for college at Atkinson Acad- emy, New Hampshire, and was graduated witha highest honors from Harvard in 1797. The associations of college life were highly con- genial and were cherished through life. For two years he taught in the public and grammar schools of Medford, and was appointed tutor in Latin at Harvard College in 1797, filling that position four years. Many of his pupils became warmly attached to him and so con- tinued through his long and useful life. While thus engaged he began the study of law, and in 1803 settled at Salem to continue his course in the office of Samuel Putnam, Esq., and was admitted to the bar at Newburyport in 1804. From 1810 to 1815 he was a member of the Massachusetts senate, having been elected by the Federalists. He was subsequently a Whig, and assisted in the formation of the Republi- can party, in whose success he was deeply in- terested. He lived to rejoice at the inaugura- tion of Abraham Lincoln as president, and predicted his triumph over rebellion. In 1814 Mr. White was elected to congress by an almost unanimous vote, and had his trunk packed for removal to Washington to enter upon his duties, when the appointment of pro- bate judge of Essex county was offered him, and he resigned his congressional seat to ac- cept. This step was taken largely on account of the demands of his family and the neces- sity of domesticity in its interest. For thirty- eight years he held the responsible position, resigning it in 1853, at the age of seventy- seven years. From 1817 his home was in

Salem, and he enjoyed many social advantages through official and other duties. He was an active member of the Massachusetts His- torical Society, an overseer of Harvard Col- lege and a member of one of its examining committees, and his interest in his alma mater was ever warm. His home was the center of a wide hospitality, and his correspondents in- cluded men of rare eminence. To his family he was ever attentive, and it is recorded that one of his children received more than six hun- dred letters from him. Much from his pen has been published, including: "A Eulogy on George Washington," delivered at the invita- tion of the inhabitants of Methuen and printed at Haverhill in 1800; a book on probate juris- diction, published in 1822 ; a eulogy upon Hon. Nathaniel Bowditch, delivered at Salem in 1838, and one upon Hon. John Pickering, de- livered before the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston, 1846; addresses at the consecration of Harmony Grove cemetery in Salem, 1840, and that before the alumni of Harvard College in 1844. His last literary work was a brief sketch of the founders of the First Church of Salem, whose catholicity of spirit he sought to vindicate. His inter- pretation of the gospel was liberal, and he was led by his investigations to set aside the Calvinistic teachings of his predecessors. A college friend of Channing, he sympathized with the latter's views of Christianity. In a memoir prepared by Rev. Dr. G. W. Boggs for the Essex Institute, of which Judge White had been president, tribute is paid to the high Christian standard of the latter and to his genial nature and moral fearlessness. Similar sentiments are expressed in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register and other publications, and a grateful memory will ever linger with all who had opportunity to know him. A pioneer in temperance reform, Judge White urged in and out of season the cessation of the tobacco habit, as well as all other means of dissipation and human injury. He was a lover of books, of which he accumulated many, and gave away liberally. Most of his library was bequeathed to the Essex Institute, and a portion of his paternal estate was devoted to lectures and a library for the city of Lawrence. By this fund a perpetual benefit accrues to citizens of that town, through the lectures provided, aside from the benefits of the library. Rev. H. W. Foote, his grandson, said of him: "His closing years were those of an ideal old age. Retaining the vigor of his tall and noble presence, free from physical or mental in-

firmity, his hair scarcely touched with silver, his step elastic as in youth, he had the full en- joyment of his powers and was busy with his studies till near the close of his eighty-fifth year." He married (first) May 24, 1807, Mrs. Mary Van Schalkwyck, daughter of Dr. Josiah Wilder, of Lancaster, Massachusetts. She died June 29, 1811, and he married ( sec- ond ) in Salem, August 1, 1819, Mrs. Eliza Wetmore, daughter of William Orne, a Salem merchant. She died March 27, 1821, and he married (third) in Charlestown, January 22, 1824, Mrs. Ruth Rogers, daughter of Joseph Hurd, a merchant of that town. Children: I. Mary Elizabeth, died in infancy. 2. Elizabeth Amelia, became wife of William Dwight, a lawyer of Springfield, Massachusetts. 3. Mary Wilder, became wife of Hon. Caleb Foote, long proprietor of the Salem Gazette. 4. William Orne, receives further mention below. 5. Henry Orne, a successful physician, graduate of Harvard, and University of Penn- sylvania Medical School, died in El Cajou, California, in 1887.

(VII) William Orne. elder son of Daniel Appleton White, only child of his second wife, was born February 12, 1821, in Salem, and at- tended private schools in that town and Cam- bridge. being in the latter place a student at a school maintained on Brattle street by Will- iam Wells. Here two of his fellow students were James Russell Lowell, and William Story, later noted as a sculptor. At the age of seven years young White began the study of Latin. He fitted for college at Phillips Exeter Academy, and in 1836 entered Harvard College, then celebrating its two-hundredth year, and is the only surviving member of his class. He graduated in 1840. being class orator, and soon went on a voyage for the benefit of his health, visiting India, Egypt and Europe. After an absence of two years he returned and entered Harvard Divinity School, where he studied three years. His first work was in Eastport, Maine, where he had charge of a Unitarian parish from April to September, 1846. Later he was called to St. Louis, Mis- souri, to take charge of Rev. Dr. William G. Eliot's church while the latter spent a vaca- tion in Europe. In 1848 Mr. White was in- vited to become pastor of the church at West Newton, Massachusetts, and he was there ordained November 22, 1848. He was in- stalled October 1, 1851, as pastor of the Uni- tarian church in Keenc, New Hampshire. where he remained twenty-seven years. Since September, 1881, his home has been in Brook-

line, Massachusetts, and he has preached in Sharon for two years. Much of his time has been given to literary work, and the following from his pen have been published: "Our Struggle Righteous in the Sight of God," a sermon delivered in Keene, April 13, 1862, on the day of thanksgiving for the Nation's victories ; an address at the funeral of Rev. George C. Ingersoll, D. D., in Keene, Sep- tember 18, 1867; a sermon preached to the Keene Congregational Society, September 29, 1867, previous to the enlarging and remodel- ing of its house of worship, with an appendix ; historical address delivered at the request of the Keene city government, July 4, 1876; fare- well sermon, Keene, November 3, 1878; com- memoration discourse at the dedication of a mural monument to James Walker, D. D., LL. D., in the Harvard Church, Charlestown, Massachusetts, January 14, 1883. Mr. White married, September 25, 1848, in Springfield, Massachusetts, Margaret Eliot Harding, born March 13, 1823, daughter of Chester Hard- ing, an artist of that city and Boston. She died June 2, 1903. They were the parents of two children-Eliza Orne and Daniel Apple- ton. The latter died before two months old. The daughter, Eliza Orne White, born August 2, 1856, in Keene, is an author well known in New England. The following works of her pen have been published: "Miss Brooks," 1890; "Winterborough," 1892; "When Molly Was Six." 1894; "The Coming of Theodora, 1895; "A Little Girl of Long Ago," 1896: "A Browning Courtship and Other Stories," 1897 : "A Lover of Truth," 1898; "Ednah and Her Brothers," 1900: "John Forsyth's Aunts." 1901 ; "Leslie Chilton," 1903: "A Borrowed Sister." 1906; "After Noontide," selections M. E. H. White (her mother), 1907; "The Wares of Edgefield," 1909.

This old English name is un- FREEMAN doubtedly derived from the condition of the first who assumed it as a surname. In that ancient day the holding of slaves was a common custom in England, and undoubtedly the condition of a freeman was something of which to be proud. The family has been long established in Amer- ica, and has borne no inconsiderable part in promoting the progress and development of the nation, and this has been the patronymic of several distinguished citizens.

dren Alice, Edmond, Elizabeth and John. He settled that year in Lynn, Massachusetts, and presented to the colony twenty corselets, or pieces of plate armour. He was subsequently in the Plymouth Colony, and with nine asso- ciates was recognized by the government as a suitable person to originate a new settlement. He was admitted freeman at Plymouth, Janu -. ary 2, 1637, and resided for a time in Duxbury, settling in what was subsequently incorporated as the town of Sandwich. Most of the grantees of this town were formerly residents of Lynn. Mr. Freeman had large grants of land, and was evidently one of the foremost men in the enterprise. He was elected as assistant to the governor, and commissioner to hear and deter- mine causes within several contiguous town- ships. He was one of the first judges of the select court of Plymouth county. During the persecution of the Quakers he opposed the course of the authorities, and was at one time fined ten shillings for refusing to aid in the baiting of Friends under pretense of law. He was highly respected, a man of firm principles and decisive action, yet quite unobtrusive, with- out personal ambition, of unerring integrity and sound judgment. He died in 1682, at the advanced age of ninety-two years, and was buried on his own land on the hill, in the rear of his dwelling at Sandwich. It is the oldest burial place in the town, and his grave and that of his wife are marked by two boulders which he placed in position after her death, and called, from fancied resemblances, "the saddle and pillion." His home was a mile and a quarter west of the present town hall, and near the junction of the old and new county roads to the Cape. His wife died February 14, 1676. Children : Alice, Edmond, Eliza- beth, John and Mary.

(II) Major John, second son of Edmond and Elizabeth Freeman, was born about 1627, in England, and died October 28, 1719, at his home in Eastham, Massachusetts. In 1650 he bought land in Sandwich, on Skauton Neck, called by the Indians, Arquid Neck. He was among the earliest settlers of Eastham, and was conspicuous in the military service in the Indian wars. He is first entitled lieutenant, subsequently captain, and latter major. He was a large landholder, and very active in civil affairs, being selectman ten years, from 1663; deputy to the general court eight years from, from 1654, and assistant to the governor sev- eral years, beginning with 1666. December 7. 1692, he was appointed judge of the court of common pleas. For many years he served a's

a deacon of the church, and was regarded as one of the fathers of Eastham. He married, February 13, 1650, Mercy, daughter of Gov- ernor Prince, born 1631; died September 28, 17II. Children: John (died young), John, Thomas, Patience, Hannah, Edmond, Mercy, William, Prince, Nathaniel and Bennett.

(III) Lieutenant Edmond (2), fourth son of Major John and Mary ( Prince ) Freeman, was born in 1657, probably in Sandwich, and died December 10, 1717, in Eastham. He re- sided in that part of the town called Tonset, and was a distinguished citizen, serving many years as selectman, and carrying a large influ- ence in the community. He married (first) Ruth, daughter of William Merrick, and (sec- ond) Sarah, daughter of Samuel Mayo. Chil- dren: Ruth, Sarah, Mary, Isaac, Ebenezer, Edmond, Experience, Mercy, Thankful, Eliza- beth, Hannah and Rachel.

(IV) Ebenezer, second son of Edmond (2) Freeman, was born about 1687, in Eastham, and died June 11, 1760. He was the first of the family to settle in the district called Bill- ingsgate, in that part of Eastham which after- wards became the town of Wellfleet. He mar- ried, October 12, 1710, Abigail, daughter of David and Anne (Doane) Young, born Sep- tember 28, 1688; died June 12, 1781, in her ninety-third year. Children: Jenette, born December 17, 1711; Thankful, February 15, 1715 : Anna, June 6, 1717; Ebenezer, Novem- ber 30, 1719; Edmond, probably 1722, and Isaac, mentioned below.

(V) Isaac, youngest child of Ebenezer and Abigail ( Young ) Freeman, was born about 1733, in what is now Wellfleet, and died in that town, August 6, 1807, at that age of seventy- four years. His body was buried in the Well- fleet cemetery. He married Thankful Higgins ; children : Edmond, born March 2, 1757 ; Isaac, October 28, 1758; Anne, September 6, 1760; Benjamin, October 18, 1762: Thankful, No- vember 9. 1766; Jonathan ( died young ) ; Eben- ezer, October 21, 1773; Jonathan, mentioned below ; Thomas, twin of Jonathan, December 20, 1775.

(VII) Jonathan, sixth son of Isaac and Thankful ( Higgins) Freeman, was born De- cember 20, 1775, in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, where he made his home. For many years he followed the sea, and became commander of sailing vessels. He married ( first), about 1804. Susanna Atwood, who died after 1817. He married (second), March 2, 1824, Eunice Newcomb, born October 24, 1788, in Wellfleet, daughter of Simon and Sarah ( Hopkins ) New-

comb (see Newcomb, VI). Children: Joshua Atwood, born September 25, 1805; Betsy, Oc- tober 3, 1807; Isaac, May 21, 1810; Joseph Atwood, June 28, 1812; Jonathan, September 5, 1814; Phebe and Susanna, March 1, 1817; Emaline, October 18, 1824; Jesse Harding, mentioned below.

(VIII) Jesse Harding, youngest child of Jonathan and Eunice (Newcomb) Freeman, was born August 18, 1826, in Wellfleet, and was educated in the schools of his native town. Upon leaving school he entered upon a sea- faring life, which continued to be his occupa- tion for about thirty ears. When twenty-two years of age he took command of his first vessel, and was engaged in the coastwise trade, being one of the most trustworthy and popular commanders in the merchant marine. In 1879 Captain Freeman retired from the sea and en- gaged in the wholesale fish business at Well- fleet. From the beginning he was successful, and as he owned the shipping necessary in the business he built up a large and profitable trade. About 1885 he removed to Boston and became interested in the importation of fruits, princi- pally from the West Indies and Central and South America. He engaged in the business on his own account and the venture proved successful, the business growing rapidly, be- coming so large that he decided to abandon his fish business in Wellfleet, which had been in operation for about fifteen years. Thence- forward he gave his entire attention to the Boston enterprise, which he continued to man- age until his death, January 30, 1890. Captain Freeman ranked high among the business men of Wellfleet and Boston. Though he had only the ordinary education usual in his youth, he was a man of keen perception and ready ob- servation, and possessed a broad and liberal training acquired through reading, travel, and contact with the world at large. Possessed of a singular public spirit and an abiding interest in the welfare of the places in which he lived, he was always a very useful and progressive citizen. He was twice clected a member of the house of representatives from Wellfleet. He was general inspector of fish, and was ap- pointed general fish commissioner the second ycar after removing to Boston. Captain Free- man married, April 26, 1849, in Wellfleet, Louisiana Knowles Newcomb, daughter of Cornelius Smith and Mercy Newcomb, of Well- fleet ( see Newcomb, VIII). Mrs. Freeman is a second cousin of her late husband. Children of Captain and Mrs. Freeman: I. Melville W., born February 20, 1850; married (first)

Emma Higgins ; children: Adele and Horace. He married (second) Margaret White, who left no issue.

(III) Simeon, eldest child of Lieutenant Andrew (2) and Sarah Newcomb, was born about 1662, probably at the Isle of Shoals, and resided in the northern part of Eastham, now Truro, Massachusetts. He was one of the original proprietors of the latter town, and re- ceived by division various lots of land in Pamet Point, in the vicinity of the boundary between Truro and Eastham. The name is often writ- ten in the records Simon, and this name, with those of his sons Simon and Andrew, was signed in 1711-12, to a petition of the people of Billingsgate, a village of Eastham.

(IV) Andrew (3), son of Simeon New- comb, resided for a time in Scituate, Massa- chusetts, and settled in the northern part of Truro, near a place called Newcomb's Point.

(For preceding generations see George Fowle 1). (III) Captain John Fowle, sec- FOWLE ond son and third child of Lieu- tenant James Fowle, born at Woburn, March 12, 1671 ; died there June 13, 1744; married, July 1, 1696, Elizabeth Pres- cott, born at Concord, Massachusetts, Novem- ber 27, 1678, daughter of Jonathan and Eliza- beth (Hoar) Prescott. She died at Woburn, May 14, 1753. Captain John Fowle, with his brother, Captain James Fowle, continued the shoemaking business of his father, and from old papers in the Woburn Public Library it is learned that he was a man of large affairs beside, and had many transactions in real estate, adding considerably to the estate in- herited from his father. He was greatly honored in military and civic affairs, being cap- tain of one of the Woburn companies; town clerk, 1714 to 1739, succeeding his brother James upon the death of the latter ; selectman during all of those twenty-five years; town treasurer from 1724 to 1739, and deputy to general court, 1727-28-30-31-35. Rev. Samuel Sewall, in his "History of Woburn," 1868, says: "The Fowles of Woburn have always been a distinguished family, and the office of town clerk they seemed to hold by prescription, for during the 132 years which elapsed between the election of Captain James Fowle in 1701, and the death of Marshall Fowle Esq., the last to hold the office, in 1833, Woburn had a Fowle for its clerk 103 years, or more than three- fourths of the time."
