He was a large owner of real estate, having lands not only in Lex. but in New Braintree, Woburn, Templeton, and Phillipston. His Will, dated Oct. 4, 1770, and proved Dec. 15, 1772, mentions wife Dorothy, sons Benjamin, John, Joseph, and Ebenezer, and dau. Mary Jennison and Sarah Joslin. He made Benjamin and John executors of his Will, and gave them the greater part of his property,-they to pay out certain legacies and provide for their mother. The provisions of his Will in relation to the support of his wid. cast some light upon the manners, customs, and mode of living at that day, and hence we will give a few items. After mentioning a certain portion of the house which she should occupy, it is provided that John and Benjamin shall furnish her annually six cords of wood, cut fit for the fire, at the front door of the house, two barrels of cider, one bushel of malt, six bushels of Indian meal or corn, six bushels of rye, one hundred pounds of pork, seventy pounds of beef, four pounds of good wool, ten pounds of flax, &c. He was selectman, 1761, '66, '67.

Ebenezer, b. Aug. 16, 1737 ; he moved to New Braintree in 1768, where he resided. Among his children was Ebenezer, who was a prominent man in his day. He was a captain of a company of cavalry, served many years as selectman, and filled other town offices. His son, Hollis Tidd (grand-son of Ebenezer of Lex.), has for many years been a leading citizen in that small but very intelligent town. He was an aide to Gen. Crawford, served on the

BENJAMIN TIDD m. Jan. 6, 1774, Joanna Fitch. They were ad. to the ch. Oet. 13, 1776, and were dismissed to the ch. at New Brain- tree, Oct. 24, 1790, to which place they had removed, and where land was left him by his father's Will. Several of his family had already located themselves in that town, where their descendants are at the present day. Benjamin Tidd remained in Lexington till after the close of the Revolutionary struggle, and like most of the citizens of the town, was enrolled in that patriotic bind commanded by Par- ker. He was on the Common on the 19th of April, and marched to Cambridge on the memorable 17th of June, 1775; and served at Dorchester the year following. He was one of the committee of correspondence in 1780. The three children mentioned below were baptized in Lex. They probably removed with their parents to New Braintree, where other children may have been added to the family.

He was among the last to leave the ground, and was pursned by a British officer on horseback and struck down by a sword; and while he was senseless upon the ground, the British robbed him of his arms, and left him for dead.

WILLIAM TIDD A. Jan. 9, 1766, Ruth Munroe, dau. of Robert and Anna Munroe. They were ad. to the ch. Dec. 28, 1766. He was a lieutenant under Capt. Parker, in the company which dared to stand on their own parade ground in the face of ten times their number of British regulars, though commanded to throw down their arms and disperse. In affidavit taken in 1824, after describing the fire of the British on that morning, he says, "I then retreated up the north road, (Hancock street, ) and was pursued by an officer on horseback (supposed to be Maj. Pitcairn) ealling out to me, ' Damn you, stop or you are a dead man.' I found I could not escape him, unless I left the road. I therefore sprang over a pair of bars, and made a stand, and discharged my gun at him ; upon which he imme- diately returned to the main body, which shortly after took up their march for Concord."
Lieut. Tidd was also one of a detachment of Parker's company which marched to Cambridge on the 17th of June, at the time of the battle of Bunker Hill, where they remained two days, when they were dismissed. But his public service was not confined to the military alone. He filled various eivil offices in town, being an assessor in 1776, '79, '80, '91, and one of the selectmen at the time of the Revolution, when great responsibility rested upon that board. Ile d.

Rebecca W. B. Trask, widow of Rev. William G. Trask of Taunton, and dau. of Col. Daniel Brooks of Lincoln. Mr. Tidd was town clerk from 1832 to 1838. He has taken an active part in the cause of education, has served many years on the school committee, and has been engaged as a teacher of youth more than thirty years, the last twenty-five of which were in Lexington. He resides upon the old homestead, in a house a part of which must have stood at least one hundred and seventy-five years, and was erected, not by his great-grandfather, as stated by mistake in page 433, but by the grandfather of his great-grandfather.

TOWER .- This name appears early in New England. John Tower was in Hingham in 1637, and came from Hingham, Eng. He m. Margaret Ibrook, and had at least three sons. He was engaged in settling Lancaster, and some of his descendants may have located in that town. At any rate we find the Towers somewhat numerous in the western portion of Middlesex county, and in the northern por- tion of Worcester.
WILLIAM A. TOWER, son of Oren and Harriet Tower, was b. in Petersham, Feb. 26, 1825, and m. April 29, 1847, Julia Davis, dau. of Austin and Sally Davis of Lancaster. He came to Lex. in Oct. 1855. He is engaged in business in Boston. He represented the Lexington District in the General Court in 1863. They have four children, Ellen M., b. in Lancaster, Feb. 28, 1848; Charlotte G., b. in Camb. Feb. 12, 1851; Augustus C., b. in Camb. July 3, 1853 ; Richard G., b. in Lex. Oct. 11, 1857.
THE TRASK FAMILY.
About 1715, a family by the name of Trask came to Lex. and located themselves on the northwesterly side of the meadow, beyond Captain Reed's, near the line of Bedford. The place from whence they came is not certainly known; but as the first of that name settled in Salem and Beverly, it is presumed that the family in Lex- ington are of the same stock.
1 NATHANIEL TRASK and his wife, Anna, had a dau. here as early as 1716; and he was chosen a highway surveyor in 1720. He was also one of the assessors in 1726, '39, and '40. He was a man of considerable property, standing on the tax bill for 1729 the tenth in point of amount. He d. Aug. 4, 1753, aged 59, and hence must have come to Lex. when he was a young man. She was living in Lex. and was taxed in 1779. His property at his death was inven- toried at £7,596. He had two hundred acres of land, and was a pro- prietor in Narraganset Township No. 6, now Templeton. From the imperfect record of the family we glean the following.
1- 2 Anna, b. May 20, 1716 ; m. Joseph Hill of Billerica.

THE TUFTS FAMILY.
Though the Tuftses came into Lex. late, we are able to trace them to the original emigrant. PETER TUFTS was born in England, 1617. He came to this country about 1638. and settled in Malden. He was the ancestor of a numerous family of that name settled in Malden, Medford, and other towns. lle was a large landholder in several towns in the vicinity.

He had great peculi- arities of character and conduct. He wrote and published several small volumes, one of which was, "The Shores of Vespucci," a romance ; he also attempted a translation of the Iliad, which, though following pretty closely the translation of Pope, bore strong marks of the state of his mind, wandering on poetic feet.

Turner was literally the architect of his own fortune. With limited early advantages, he entered upon a sea- faring life at the age of sixteen, and passing through all grades, at the age of twenty-two he took the command of a vessel fitted out by that prince of merchants, William Gray, Esq. During nearly forty years he followed the seas, and there were but few parts of the com- mercial world to which he had not navigated, with unusual success. Though he commenced his career with a very limited education, by industry and application he so informed himself, as to be enabled, as a merchant and shipmaster, to take a high rank in his calling. By his modest and gentlemanly bearing he gained many friends. In 1831, John Randolph, then minister to Russia, did him the honor to make him his confidential agent and friend,-Capt. Turner at that time being at the Russian capital. During his voyages he made Charlestown the place of his residence, and in 1836 and 1837, he represented that town in the legislature. About 1840, he came to Lexington, where he spent the remainder of his days. All his chil- dren but the last were born in Charlestown.
