H., in 1733, being a son of Ephraim Hutchins. He commanded a company under Colonel John Stark at the battle of Bunker Hill. Shortly afterward he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in Colonel Nahum Baldwin's regiment, and was in the battle at White Plains in October, 1776. On the march to New York to join the Continental

Army, many of the soldiers being taken sick, Colonel Hutchins at his own expense purchased medicines for them in Stamford, Conn. For this, in March, 1777, he was paid in full, three pounds, six shillings, six pence, out of the treasury of New Hampshire. He served as Representative from Concord in the General Assembly of New Hampshire. He raised a company of thirty men to join General Stark in Bennington, but did not arrive in time to take part in the battle.

Charlotte Eastman, and after her death m. Amanda Palmer; Nathaniel Greene, who m. Ann Morrow; and William Manley, whose personal history is outlined below.

William Manley Ladd was educated in the schools of Concord. He then learned the trade of book-binder, and for a few years in his early manhood he was engaged in that industry in the city of Augusta, Me. Failing health obliging him to give up business for more than a year, he returned to Concord. His next business venture was at Meredith Bridge, now Laconia, N. H., where he kept a store for the sale of drugs and groceries and also school books, he being the first to engage in the latter business in Laconia. He gave much attention to the study of drugs and their preparation, ac- quiring unusual skill in the art, and, removing to Lynn in 1844, established a drug store on South Common Street, on the present site of Lee Hall. He continued in active business until 1871. He d. in Lynn, March 17, 1883, "honored and respected by all who knew him." He was a member of the Society of Friends at Lynn.

He married November 22, 1822, Betsey, daughter of Zaccheus6 and Theodate (Farring- ton) Collins, of Lynn. Her father, Zaccheus6 Collins, was b. at Lynn in 1768, son of Sam- uels and Judith (Dow) Collins. He was a lineal descendant of Henry' Collins, starch- maker, b. in 1606, who came from England with his wife Ann and three or four children in 1635. The line was continued through the immigrant's son John,ª b. in 1632, who m.

Abigail, daughter of Richard John, of Lynn; John, 3 b. in 1679; Zaccheus, 4 b. in 1700, who m. Elizabeth, daughter of Stephen Sawyer; to Samuel, 5 above named, father of Zaccheus6. Mrs. Betsey Collins Ladd died September I, 1879. She was the mother of two children : William Henry, who was born December 29, 1824, at Augusta, Me., and who died in Boston, September 1I, 1895; and Ann Elizabeth, born at Concord, N. H., May 1, 1829, now living in Lynn. William Henry Ladd in his youth was a student at the academy in Laconia, N. H., and afterward at the Bridgewater Nor- mal School. His life was devoted to educa- tional work, for which he was well fitted, hold- ing high rank in his profession. For a term or two after leaving Bridgewater he taught English in a German school in Baltimore, Md. Afterward he taught in Charlestown, Mass., and in Cambridge, where he was master of the Shepherd School. He then served as assistant teacher in the Chauncy Hall School, Boston, under Messrs. Thayer and Cushing. On the retirement of Mr. Thayer he became associate principal, and later, in 1879, principal of the school, well known as one of the leading pri- vate schools in Boston. He was married three times, and was survived by two daughters, namely : Mary H. (by his second wife, Jane Pearson) ; and Emily James, by his third wife, Martha Gregory. The last named died in 1893. His first wife was Olive Carver. Ann Eliza- beth Ladd was educated in the Lynn schools and at the Bridgewater Normal School, under Nicholas Tillinghast, where she was graduated in 1848. For four years thereafter she was en- gaged as an assistant teacher in Cambridge. She gave up teaching in 1858 to devote herself to home duties, caring for her parents in their · declining years. She is a member of the So- ciety of . Friends, and interested in temperance and other reform movements.

'RED H. SEAVEY, Sheriff of Suffolk County, was born in Boston, Mass., April 1, 1854, son of Charles T. and Emily Eastman (Fernald) Seavey. His father was a native of Concord, N. H. Mr. Seavey's paternal grandparents were Samuel and Nancy

(Stevens) Seavey, the grandfather of Concord ; and his great-grandfather was Joseph Seavey, of Rye, N. H. Emily Eastman (Fernald) Sea- vey was a daughter of Josiah and Sophia (East- man) Fernald. In regard to his remoter an- cestry, it seems clear that he is a descendant of William Seavey, who at an early date set- tled in the vicinity of Portsmouth, N. H. In a historical sketch of Rye (Hurd's "History of Rockingham and Strafford Counties "), it is stated that in 1652 a grant was made to William Seavey of fifty acres of land on the south side of Mill Creek. The first deed of land within the then limits of Rye was granted in 1669 by Jane, widow of William Barry, to William Seavey, Sr. One Thomas Seavey, mentioned as the owner of adjoining land, appears to have been living there in 1708. The town of Rye was incorporated in 1726, a petition for a new district having been signed five years previously by B. Sevey and B. Sevey, Jr., Samuel Seavey, William, James, and Joseph Seavey, Moses Seavy, William Sevey, Sr., and Samuel Sevey, all of whom were probably descendants of the first William Seavey above mentioned. Savage's Genealogi- cal Dictionary of New England says that Will- iam' Seavey was a member of the company sent out by Mason in 1631 ; that he was Con- stable at Isles of Shoals in 1655; Selectman in 1657; and that he d. in 1671, leaving a large estate. His wife's name is recorded as Eliza- beth. His descendants lived in Rye and its parent town, Portsmouth. John Seavey, per- haps a son of William,1 m. in 1686 Hannah, daughter of John Philbrook, of Hampton, and widow of Joseph Walker. Nathaniel and Thomas Seavey were also perhaps the sons of William1. The early Seaveys intermarried with the Langdons, Sheafes, and other New Hampshire families of distinction. For ex- ample : Mary Langdon (b. in 1725), daughter of Captain Joseph3 and Mary (Banfield) Lang -. don, m. Amos Seavey, and her sister Eliza- beth m. James Seavey; Hannah Seavey (b. in Portsmouth in 1719) m. in 1740 Jacob Sheafe, son of Sampson Sheafe, of Newcastle, N. H., and grandson of Sampson Sheafe, of Boston.

Joseph Seavey, great-grandfather of Fred H., was a resident of Rye. In the Revolu-

390

NEW ENGLAND LIBRARY OF

tionary Rolls of New Hampshire the name of Joseph Seavey appears as a sergeant in Captain Parsons's company. He was one of seventy- four men enlisted by Colonel Whipple in Sep- tember, 1776, to reinforce the Northern Army, and his name is to be found upon the pay-roll of Colonel Jonathan Chase's New Hampshire regiment, which joined the North- ern Army at Ticonderoga in May, 1777. He was discharged in the following June. In 1780 Joseph Seavey was a private in Captain Henry Batter's company, of Colonel Thomas Bartlett's regiment, New Hampshire militia, then serving at West Point. Samuel Seavey, Sheriff Seavey's grandfather, was b. in Rye in 1783, and when quite young went to reside in Concord. He m. Nancy Stevens.

On the maternal side Mr. Seavey is a de- scendant in the eighth generation of Roger Eastman (or Easman), who was b. about 1611- 13, and came to America on the "Confidence." Roger received land at Salisbury, Mass., first division, in 1640 and in 1643. He d. De- cember 16, 1694. His widow, Sarah, d. in March, 1697-8. They were the parents of eight sons and two daughters, all of · whom lived to maturity and m.

Philip2 Eastman (b. in Salisbury, December 30, 1644) settled in Haverhill. He was cap- tured by the Indians in 1675, and in the fol- lowing year served as a soldier in King Philip's War. About the year 1695 he removed to New Roxbury (now Woodstock), Conn. He was m. three times, but the name of his first wife is not recorded. In 1678 he m. for his second, Mary, daughter of Thomas Barnard and widow of Anthony2 Morse. The full name of his third wife, whom he m. subsequent to 1695, is also not recorded; but his will, which was probated in 1714, mentions wife Margaret. He was the father of five children.

Captain Ebenezer3 Eastman (b. in Haver- hill, Mass., February 18, 1681, d. July 28, 1748) was in his youth brought into contact with the severe hardships and perils of early American warfare. 'He accompanied Colonel Wainwright's regiment in the expedition against Port Royal, and in 1711 he commanded a company of infantry in an expedition against Canada. In connection with the enterprise

last mentioned, it is related that while his company was being conveyed up the St. Law- rence River during a violent storm, he saved the transport from disaster by sending its cap- tain below and ordering the helmsman to change his course. Although the authenticity of this exploit is somewhat questionable, it illustrates, perhaps, the character of the man. He also commanded a company at the siege and capture of Louisburg in 1745. The his- tory of Concord, N. H., states that Captain Ebenezer Eastman arrived there in the earliest period of its settlement, accompanied by his six sons, the eldest of whom was fifteen years of age. It also states that in 1729 he took a lease for thirty years of a large farm containing five hundred acres, for which it was agreed he was to pay a progressive rental, commencing with ten shillings, this to be increased by the addition of the sum of ten shillings each year until the rent should reach the sum of fifteen pounds. It was further stipulated that he was to improve the land to a tillage value of one hundred pounds, to build a timber house and barn also worth one hundred pounds, con- struct timber or stone fences to a like value, and plant six hundred fruit trees. The history goes on to say that in 1731 his premises were in better condition, and he had more land under cultivation than any other settler in the township. Captain Ebenezer3 Eastman was m. March 4, 1710, to Sarah3 Peasley (Joseph, 2 Joseph'). Hoyt's "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury " says that Joseph Peasley, or Peaslee, was at Newbury in 1641, at Haver- hill in 1645, and was a townsman of Amesbury in 1656. His wife's Christian name was Mary. Their fifth child, Joseph,2 Jr., of Ha- verhill, m. Ruth Barnard, daughter of Thomas Barnard, of Amesbury, who was killed by the Indians in 1679. Joseph and Ruth (Barnard) Peasley were the parents of eight children, their youngest being Sarah (b. in. 1690), who m. Captain Ebenezer3 Eastman, as above men- tioned. Captain Ebenezer3 and Sarah (Peas- ley) Eastman had a family of eight children.

Nathaniel+ Eastman, b. in Haverhill in 1717, was in Colonel Williams's regiment at the battle of Lake George in 1755, where he was wounded in the knee. He served in

H., to Josiah Furnald (or Fernald), a tanner. In 1836 Josiah Fernald moved his family to Exeter, Me ., where his wife's death occurred April 21, 1885. He was a soldier in 1812 in Captain Robertson's company, of Concord, N. H. Josiah and Sophia6 (Eastman) Fernald were the parents of thirteen children, ten of whom were b. in Concord, and the other three in Exeter, Me. Emily Eastman Fernald, who was b. in Concord, May 4, 1827, became the wife of Charles T. Seavey, as already in- dicated in this sketch. He was a native of Concord, whence he removed to Cambridge, Mass., and followed the trade of a carpen- ter and builder. Charles T. and Emily E. (Fernald) Seavey were the parents of three children, namely: Charles, who d. in 1861 ; Fred H., whose name begins this article; and Belle Augusta, who m. David Floyd, of Win- throp, Mass.

Fred H. Seavey was educated in the public schools of Cambridge. In 1869 he commenced work as clerk in a shoe findings house in Bos- ton, where he remained till 1874. He then found employment in the Sheriff's office in Boston under John M. Clarke. On January I, 1884, he was appointed Deputy Sheriff by John B. O'Brien. On January 1, 1893, he was appointed Special Sheriff of Suffolk County, and on the death of Sheriff O'Brien he was appointed Sheriff of Suffolk County by Governor Crane. Elected at the November election, 1900, Sheriff, to fill the unexpired term of Sheriff O'Brien, he was re-elected in November of the following year for a term of three years, beginning with the first Wednes- day in January, 1902. Mr. Seavey is a Dem- ocrat in politics. He is a Free Mason of high rank, affiliating with the Winthrop Lodge, F. & A. M., and has advanced through all the degrees to the thirty-second. He is commo- dore of Jeffries Yacht Club of East Boston.

GENEALOGY AND PERSONAL HISTORY

Goodhewen, who lived in the county of Kent during the reign of Edward I. Emigrating to America in 1635-6, he settled in Ipswich, Mass., where he took the freeman's oath on December 7, 1636. He was a commoner in 1641, was one of Major Denison's subscribers, and in 1664 was one of the twenty-seven high- est taxpayers. He seems to have possessed a large property, and to have attained consider- able influence in the community. He served the town in various official capacities, often acting as moderator; was Selectman in 1658; and for eight years - some time between 1666 and 1683 - he was a Representative to the Colonial Legislature. When chosen Deacon of the First Church of Ipswich, he was declared to be "a man of more than average intelli- gence, of deep practical piety, and of the high- est integrity and wisdom." Before leaving England he m. in Deptford, which was proba- bly the place of his birth, Majory Watson, who d. in Ipswich, Mass., August 28, 1668. She bore him two sons and one daughter. On Feb- ruary 7, 1669-70, he m. for his second wife Mary Webb, a widow, who d. at Ipswich, Sep- tember 7, 1680. He m., third, July 26, 1682, the widow Bethia Grafton, who d. December 6, 1688. In 1689 he m. Remember Fisk, of Wrentham, Mass., who survived him, dying February 16, 1701, or 1702. His only chil- dren were by his first wife. In his advanced years he turned over the care of his homestead property to his son Joseph, and went to live with his son William in that part of the town then called "Chebasco" (now Essex), and there d. in 1699-1700.

William2 Goodhue, second child of William, 1 was b. in Ipswich, Mass., in 1645, and d. Oc- tober 12, 1712. He resided in Chebasco, where he was familiarly known as "Captain Goodhue," and for many years was a Deacon in the church of which the Rev. John Wise was pastor. Highly respected and beloved, and eminently useful, he exerted a wholesome influence in the community, and rendered the town excellent service as Selectman, and also as a Representa- tive to the General Court. At one time he was imprisoned and fined by Governor Andros for protesting against an illegal taxation of the colony; but on March 18, 1704, the town

granted him a tract of land as an indemnity for the losses and injuries he had sustained by the Governor's action. On November 14, 1666, he m. Hannah Dane, daughter of the Rev. Francis Dane, of Andover, Mass., by whom he had eleven children.

Joseph3 Goodhue, fourth child of William, 2 was b. in March, 1676, and, as his will was probated in 1739, it is likely that he d. in that year. In January, 1707 or 1708, he m. Abi- gail Low, who d. in 1726, aged forty years. In October, 1727, he m. for his second wife Mrs. Elizabeth Gilbert. He had eight chil- dren.
