Nicholson2 Broughton, baptized at Marble- head, September 13, 1724, became a skilful and intrepid ship-master before he was thirty years of age. He was one of the leaders of the Revolutionary movement at Marblehead in 1774, and the next year was chosen Captain in the famous marine regiment commanded by Colonel John Glover. At Cambridge, Mass., September 2, 1775, he was directed by Wash- ington to execute the first naval commission. Three days later, with a detachment of the army in the schooner "Hannah," fitted out at the Continental expense, he sailed from Bev- erly, and on the 7th inst. captured the British ship "Unity," laden with supplies for the ministerial army. He also received the sec- ond naval commission October 16 of the same year by special order of Congress, and on the 20th inst. sailed from Beverly in the schooner "Lynch " as commodore, with seventy men, and Captain John Selman in the schooner "Franklin " with sixty-five men, for the river St. Lawrence, to intercept two English trans- ports with supplies for Quebec. They missed the transports, but captured ten other vessels, and also the British recruiting officers at the

Island of St. John's. Returning in December, they were reproved by Washington for exceed- ing the letter of their instructions, and felt the - to them unjust - reproof so keenly that when requested to take their command again in the Marblehead regiment they replied that they would not.

Captain Nicholson2 Broughton may be re- garded as the first commodore of the American navy, notwithstanding the fact that that rank was not officially recognized by Congress till I 862. In February, 1776, he was commis- sioned by the Provincial Congress at Boston as second Major of the Fifth Regiment of Essex County

militia, under Colonel Jonathan Glover. He was a prominent and active mem- ber of the First Church of Marblehead. Until 1775 he wrote his given name "Nicholas" and afterward "Nicholas-son." His son in 1797 wrote it "Nicholason" and afterward "Nicholson "; and his grandson's signature in 1825 was Nicholson Broughton. He m. September 26, 1749, Sarah, daughter of Jo- seph and Sarah (Martin) Pedrick. His chil- dren were: Sarah, b. 1752, m. Captain Dan- iel Lisbrel; Mary, b. 1755, m. Captain John Devereux; Nicholson, b. 1757, d. young ; Anne, b. 1759, m. Captain Joseph Proctor ; Eleanor, b. 1762, m. first Captain Thomas Williams and second Captain Samuel Horton ; Nicholson, 3 b. at Marblehead, October 29, 1764.

Nicholson3 Broughton m. April 17, 1788, Susannah, daughter of General John and Han- nah (Gale) Glover, of Marblehead, d. at Island of Martinique, June 21, 1804. He served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting as a soldier at the age of thirteen. He early commanded one of his father's vessels, and afterward en- gaged in the West India trade. In 1797 and 1799 he suffered from the depredations of French and British cruisers; and his claims for reimbursement were subsequently taken for collection by the United States government, being included in the famous "French Spolia- tion Claims." He was a man of education, energy, and influence; and his record, both during the war and subsequently, reflected credit upon his native town. His four sons - Nicholson, 4 John, Norman, and Glover - were

T HE SHEARER FAMILY. The early history of this family in New England is identified with that of the town of Palmer, Hampden County, Mass. The first person of this name on the records was James Shearer, who in 1732 was one of the fifty- seven petitioners to the General Court of the Province for a grant of land for such considera- tion as the court should judge reasonable, in the Elbow Tract (as Palmer was then known), where they were already settled. The com- mittee's favorable report was accepted by the Council in June, 1733, concurred in by the Representatives, and consented to by Gov- ernor Belcher. To James Shearer was granted by virtue of this enactment "a hundred-acre lot, including his improvements, to bound northerly on the sawmill lot, and extend south- erly so far as to include his improvements, and other ways to make up his complement in regular form." (See Temple's History of Palmer, especially chapters on "The Elbow Tract Settlement, 1716-28"; and "The Elbow Tract - a Plantation, 1726, 1752."

James Shearer was b. in 1687 in County Antrim, Ireland, and was of Scottish and Irish ancestry. He emigrated in 1720, and took up his abode temporarily at Union, Tolland County, Conn., whence in 1726 he came to the Elbow Tract with the Nevins settlers. His

farm was near the centre of the plantation, lying south of Deacon Sedgwick's and east of Cedar Swamp Brook. His house was a large one, and, being centrally located, was much used for the business meetings of the proprie- tors, and also for religious services before the building of a house of worship. It was ap- pointed, March 20, 1733-34, as the place for ordaining the Rev. John Harvey to the office of minister, "unless," as the record says, "the Reverend Elders called to officiate in that work shall see cause (if the weather permit) to do it abroad or elsewhere." The history states that the ordination was performed June 5, 1734, by the delegates of the Reverend Presbytery of Londonderry upon a scaffold made up under a great white oak-tree standing on the plain in the east side of Cedar Swamp Meadow.

James' Shearer was a successful farmer, and was active in political, social, and religious affairs of the community. He d. in 1745 at sixty-seven years of age. His wife, a native of Ireland, d. in 1750 at the age of seventy- five. They had three sons -- John,2 James, Jr.,2 and William2.

John2 Shearer came with his parents to Palmer. He settled on land in that part of Brimfield near Palmer known as Three River Village, which later became a part of the town of Palmer. He was admitted an inhabitant in 1734 on Abel Curtis's right. He was active in town affairs; and, though well along in years at the time of the Revolution, he was one of Captain Spear's minute-men who marched from Palmer at the time of the Lexington Alarm, April 19, 1775. On September 26, 1777, he became a Corporal of Lieutenant Joshua Shaw's company in Colonel Elisha Porter's regiment from Palmer, which served under General Gates. He took part in the battle of Saratoga, which led to the surrender of General Burgoyne. He was m. and had ten children -Joseph, John, Jr., William, Thomas, David, Jonathan, Noah, Daniel, Jane, and Betsey. He d. January 12, 1802, aged ninety- two years.

John, Jr., 3 son of John2 Shearer and his wife, Jane, was b. March 22, 1746. The local records show that at the annual meeting, March 22, 1774, of the district of Palmer, as

the place was then known, he was chosen one of the hog reeves, and at the March meeting of 1775 he was again chosen to the office. Dr. Jonathan Shearer, one of his younger brothers, was the father of Dr. Marcus Shearer, who was considered a very able medical practitioner in the years of his professional activity, or from about 1825 to 1850. John3 Shearer, Jr., m. January 30, 1774, Miss Jane White. They had five children -- Patrick, Betsey, John, Sally, and Daniel.

John4 Shearer, the third John in direct line, was b. in Palmer, November 6, 1783. He m. Miss Chloe Baker, of Belchertown, Mass., a daughter of Benjamin Baker, who was an early settler of Palmer and a Revolutionary soldier. With his family he removed to Ware, Mass., in 1823, and resided there until his death, which occurred March 6, 1840. He had eight children, five of whom survived him; namely, Leonard Baker, James White, John Harris, Daniel Lyman, and Eliza Ann.

Leonard Bakers Shearer, son of John Shearer, third, was b. in Palmer, Mass., July 28, 1808, and d. in Chicago, Ill., August 6, 1864. He removed with his father from Palmer to Ware, and after his father's death he came to Boston, seeking larger opportunities for business usefulness. He soon established himself in a small retail furniture business on Blackstone Street, where he remained some years. He was very successful in this vent- ure, gradually increasing the volume of his trade, and later taking as partners his brother, Daniel Lyman Shearer, and John Shearer Paine. He established branch stores in New York with James C. Jones under the firm name of Shearer & Jones, in Chicago with William W. Strong under the firm name of Shearer, Paine & Strong, and also in New Orleans under the name of D. L. Shearer. During the latter part of his life he resided in North Cam- bridge, and was an active member of the little mission church on Arlington Street which afterward was joined to the North Avenue Congregational Church.

He was first m. December 3, 1844, by the Rev. John Woodbridge, to Miss Dorothy Phelps Dickinson, of Hadley, Mass. By this union he had three children - Dora Eliza, Helen

Louisa, and William Leonard. He was m. a second time, June 3, 1857, to Miss Corinna Adelaide Fisher, of New York, who without issue survived him but a few years. His eldest daughter, Dora Eliza Shearer, was m. to John H. Appleton, a lawyer of Boston, March 30, 1 880. She d. June 6, 1886, leaving one child, Ethel Dora Appleton, b. December 5, 1881. His second daughter, Helen Louisa Shearer, m. William H. Emerson, of Cambridge, De- cember 28, 1871, and has six children. His son, William Leonard Shearer, is a member and vice-president of the Paine Furniture Com- pany. He m. Miss Ella Harding, of Cam- bridge, December 8, 1875, and has three chil- dren : William Leonard, Jr., b. September 24, 1877; Julia Louisa, b. May 29, 1880; and Alice, b. September 24, 1884.

James White Shearer, another son of John Shearer, third, was b. in Palmer, Mass., Octo- ber 5, 1813, and d. in Cambridge, Mass., April 2, 1883. He was associated at various times with his brother, Leonard Baker Shearer, in the furniture business, and with his brother, John Harris Shearer, in railroad construction. During the latter part of his life he resided with his sister, Mrs. John Shearer Paine, at 6 Dana Street, Cambridge. He was unmarried.

John Harris Shearer, third son of John Shearer, third, b. in Palmer, September 3, 1817, was educated in the public schools of Ware. At an early age he developed a great liking for mechanics; and, after leaving school, he determined to become a civil engi- neer. He accordingly fitted himself for the profession ; and, upon moving to Boston, he was engaged upon several public enterprises, among them being a survey of Bunker's Hill in Charlestown for a monument. Later he surveyed the line of the old Grand Junction Railroad that partly encircled Boston on the Brighton, Cambridge, and Somerville sides. For a number of years he was employed by the Boston & Worcester Railroad Company. He left their employ to build the Orange & Alex- andria Railroad of Virginia and the Penobscot & Kennebec Railroad from Waterville to Ban- gor, Maine. Afterward he helped construct the Dubque, Western & Marion Railroad of Iowa. His first marriage was to Miss Adeline

Augusta Mullett, daughter of Benjamin F. and Annie C. Mullett, of New Braintree, Mass. She d. January 31, 1848, in Ware. On De- cember 18, 1848, he was m. to Miss Mary Landon Hamilton, of Ware, by whom he had two children - Mary Eliza Virginia and Charles Harris. Mr. John H. Shearer d. at Cam- bridge, January 25, 1862. His wife is still living, and resides at Andover, Mass.

Mary Landon Hamilton was b. in Palmer, Mass., September 6, 1818, daughter of Joshua and Minerva (Reeves) Hamilton. Her father was b. in 1775, and was the youngest son of John and Joanna (Wolcott) Hamilton, and a lineal descendant of "John Hamilton, of Con- cord, Mass.," who in November, 1701, re- ceived a grant of land at Brookfield, and, sub- sequently taking up his residence in that town, d. there in 1747. John, Jr., son of "John Hamilton, of Concord," and his wife Han- nah, was b. in Concord in August, 1699. He m. in 1725 Mary Wheeler, and was the father of John, third, b. in 1728, who m. Joanna Wolcott, as above noted, and removed to Palmer. "John Hamilton, of Concord," was evidently the "John, son of John Hamilton and Christian, his wife, born I March, '67, '68,"-i.e., in March, 1667-68, - as recorded in Book I. of the Concord Registers.

Mary Eliza Virginia Shearer, who was b. in Culpeper, Va., June 7, 1850, was educated at the Abbot Academy in Andover, Mass., and at Boston University. She became the wife of Balfour H. Van Vleck, instructor at the Boston Society of Natural History, October 17, 1883. She d. February 28, 1893. Charles Harris Shearer was b. in Petersburg, Va., March II, 1852. He was educated in the public schools of Andover, Mass., and has resided in this State a great part of his lifetime. He was m. to Miss Elva Thornberry at Chicago, Il1., Oc- tober 31, 1887.

Daniel Lyman Shearer, another son of John Shearer, third, was b. in Palmer, November 5, 1820. He was educated in the public schools of Ware and at Yale College, which he entered in 1838, and where he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1842. He shortly became interested with his brother in the furniture business in Boston, and for

many years was the travelling representative of the firm in the South, with headquarters at Richmond, Va., and at New Orleans, La. He was in New Orleans through the Civil War, and was at one time drafted as a soldier in the Confederate army. The timely arrival of Gen- eral Butler, who took possession of the city, fortunately relieved him from service. He remained in business in New Orleans until 1870, when he retired permanently, in order to return to Boston to look after his real estate and other interests. He has never married. Since his return he has resided with his sis- ter, Mrs. John Shearer Paine, in Cambridge.

Eliza Ann Shearer, daughter of John Shearer, third, was b. in Ware, Mass., July 27, 1830. She came to Boston with her brothers about 1840, and attended the public schools of this city, becoming a teacher upon the completion of her course of study. She was m. to John Shearer Paine April II, 1854, soon after they removed to Cambridge. She was deeply interested in the religious and missionary work of the day, and was a member of the First Baptist Church of Cambridge. She d. January 4, 1901. She left three children, namely: Katherine Eliza, b. Au- gust 24, 1859, now the wife of Edgar R. Champlin, an attorney of Boston and an ex- Mayor of Cambridge; Anna Lyman, b. July 6, 1871 ; and James Leonard, b. April 25, 1857, who is now interested in the Paine Furniture Company as treasurer. James Leonard Paine m. Mary Woolson, May 21, 1885. They have three children : John Adams, b. January 6, 1887; Margaret Woolson, b. May 4, 1893; and Anna Woolson, b. March 29, 1901.

ERNON EATON CARPENTER, a retired boot and shoe merchant, resid- ing in West Newton, is a worthy rep- resentative of an old New England family, and a descendant of some of the earliest settlers of Massachusetts Bay and the neighboring colo- nies.

His first American progenitor on the pater- nal side was William Carpenter, b. in Eng- land in 1605, whose father, John Carpenter,

established a school in England that has been continued down to the present day. William came to this country in the "Bevis." He was made a freeman in Weymouth, May 13, 1640; was Representative from Weymouth in 1641 and 1643, and from Rehoboth in 1645, he having settled in that town in the same year. He d. in Rehoboth, February 7, 1659. His wife, Abigail, d. February 22, 1687, having survived her husband twenty-eight years. William Carpenter had a cousin, Alice Car- penter, who became the wife of Governor Brad- ford of the Plymouth colony. The line of descent from William to Vernon Eaton Car- penter is William,1 Samuel,2 Solomon, 3 Dan- iel,4 Daniel, 5 Richard,6 Vernon Eaton 7.

Samuel 2 Carpenter, the youngest son of William,1 b. probably in 1644, and who d. February 20, 1682 or 1683, m. Sarah Reada- way, of Rehoboth, May 25, 1660. His son, Solomon, 3 b. December 23, 1677, was made a freeman at South Kingston, R.I., in 1696, and in the same year m. Elizabeth Tefft, daughter of Samuel Tefft. Solomon d. in South Kingston in 1750. Daniel, 4 Solomon's son, b. December 28, 1712, m. Renewed Smith, April 29, 1733, and resided in South Kingston in 1738. His son, Daniel,5 b. Sep- tember 8, 1744, m. Ruth Cornel.

Richard6 Carpenter, the father of Vernon E., was b. June 5, 1787. He was a farmer of Thompson, Conn. It is quite probable that he served in the War of 1812, with the com- pany of Peter Lord. On May 24, 1812, he m. Cynthia Walker; and they became the par- ents of a large family, consisting of six sons and four daughters, the respective dates of whose nativity ranged between 1813 and 1839. The order of their birth was as follows : Sally, Abby, William W., Mary W., Ephraim Walker, John, Adeline, Samuel, Vernon Eaton, and Edward S. The mother d. on January 5, 1852, and the father in November, 1863.

By two lines Vernon E. Carpenter traces his descent to early Colonial ancestors through his mother, Cynthia. Born July 31, 1791, she was the fifth of the eight children of William 6 and Cynthia (Hoppin) Walker, of Thompson, Conn. Her father, b. January 11, 1759, and

who d. December 13, 1843, m. Cynthia Hop- pin, October 19, 1782 (Providence records). The latter, b. July 18, 1758, d. October 21, 1839. William Walker was a carpenter by

trade. Being a man of sound judgment, he had considerable influence in the town. He was one of the founders and pillars of the Methodist church in Thompson. Under Cap- tain Knowlton, he served as a private in a company of minute-men that marched from the town of Ashland on the Lexington alarm. He was a pensioner in 1832, with residence at Thompson, Windham County, Conn. His name appears in the census of 1840, where his age is given as eighty-two years. He was son of Ephraim 5 Walker of Providence, R.I., b. March 8, 1735-6, d. March 29, 1815, at the age of fifty years. Ephraim went to Provi- dence from Rehoboth as early as 1755. He was by trade a "housewright "; and he built and afterward resided in a house at the corner of Walker and Westminster Streets, the former of which took its name from him. He m. Priscilla Rawson, of Windham, Conn., who was b. May 22, 1740, a daughter of Thomas and Anna (Waldron) Rawson, and who d. August 22, 1813. She was descended from a highly reputable family of exemplary piety, and eminent for their public services. Her grandfather, Wilson Rawson, b. in June, 1692, was a grandson of Edward Rawson (the secre- tary of the Massachusetts Bay Colony), who was b. in Gillingham, Dorsetshire, England, April 15, 1615, and who m. in England Rachel Perne, a grand-daughter of John Harker and his wife, the latter being a sister of an arch- bishop of Canterbury who flourished during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Edward Raw- son came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony as early as 1637. He was elected secretary, ac- cording to the Massachusetts records, in 1651 ; and he was annually re-elected until the usurpa- tion of the government by Sir Edmund Andros.

The father of Ephraim 5 Walker was Nathan- iel,4 of Rehoboth, b. January 31, '1703-4, who d. April 20, 1783. In his father's will he is called "best-beloved son." He held the office of Deacon in the church, and in 1750 and 1751 he was a Representative to the Gen- eral Court. His marriage with his wife,

Anna, took place May II, 1727. Nathaniel 4 Walker was a son of Philip 3 of Rehoboth, who, b. March, 1661-2, d. February 17, 1739-40. Philip first m., in 1689, Mary Bowen, who was buried May 22, 1694. His second wife, Sarah, d. February 6, 1739; and he d. eleven days after.

He was son of Philip,2 who was a son of "Widow Walker," of Rehoboth, and a brother of James Walker, of Taunton. The earliest mention of Philip2 is made in a deed dated 1653. He was by trade a weaver, but followed farming after settling in Rehoboth. From what part of England the family came is not now known. The time of their arrival must have been as early as 1640. Philip2 m. Jane Metcalf in 1654. In 1669 he was a Deputy to Plymouth. He was also a Deacon of the church. At his death, which occurred in August, 1679, he was one of the wealthiest men in Rehoboth, where there were eighty- three estates.

Vernon Eaton Carpenter was born in Thomp- son, Conn., May 15, 1833. He was educated in the schools of his native town, which he attended until reaching the age of seventeen. Then he went to Oxford to learn the trade of shoe manufacturing, and remained there thus occupied for three years. He then spent two years in Sturbridge as an employee of the shoe manufacturing concern, Sessions, Bates & Co. In June, 1855, having determined to start in business on his own account, and after looking over the ground in order to find a desirable location, he selected Toronto, Canada, as a place affording a good opening. Here, in the following August, with a small capital, he suc- cessfully started a retail boot and shoe busi- ness under the firm name of Carpenter & Co. Sessions, Bates & Co. were associated with him in the enterprise. In 1856 the retail busi- ness was abandoned for a wholesale business, which was conducted under the firm name of Sessions, Carpenter & Co. Under capable management the firm flourished and built up a large and profitable business. In 1867 Mr. Carpenter, feeling the need of rest, sold his interest to Mr. Sessions and moved to West Newton, Mass. On the latter's death, how- ever, which took place not long after, the care

of his large estate was placed (by the will of Mr. Sessions) into the hands of Mr. Carpenter.

Mr. Carpenter was married January 21, 1862, to Martha J. Ballard, a native of Thomp- son, Conn., who was born January 21, 1842. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter were the parents of six children - Fanny Ballard, Myra A., Alice Margaret, Vernon E., Josephine Cook, and Clara Louise. Myra D. and Vernon E. died in infancy. Fanny B. was born in Toronto, Canada, December 1, 1863. Alice Margaret, born in Toronto, March 16, 1867, who mar- ried, August 23, 1892, William J. Clark, resides in Chicago, and has two children - William Jerome, born November 11, 1893, and Cynthia Carpenter, born March 24, 1897. Josephine C. was born in West Newton, Mass., May 5, 1873; and Clara Louise was born in West Newton, July 7, 1879. Mrs. Martha J. Carpenter died May 7, 1897.
