David8 F. Slade, the subject of this sketch, received his education in the public schools of his native town, at the Fall River High

School, and at Brown University, from which he was graduated in 1880. He pursued his professional course of study at the Boston Law School, and was graduated Bachelor of Laws in 1883. In that year he formed a copartner- ship with the Hon. James F. Jackson of that city, which still exists. Mr. Slade has been a member of the Republican City Committee of Fall River, and of the Republican State Committee. He was a member of the House of Representatives of the Massachusetts Legis- lature in 1894, 1895, and 1896, serving upon the Committee on Judiciary and Federal Re- lations, and Rule 5. He served as a mem- ber of the Governor's Council in 1900, 1901, and 1902. He is vestryman of the Church of the Ascension of Fall River, and is connected with several charitable and business corpora- tions. October 25, 1883, he married Annie Marvel Durfee, daughter of the late Walter Chaloner Durfee, of Fall River.

ENRY MARTIN SOULE, of the firm Davis & Soule, prosperous min- ing brokers of Boston, is a native of New England, and, like most of the bearers of his surname in this country, a descendant of George Soule, one of the hardy voyagers of the "Mayflower." The name in the early Colonial records is variously spelled Soul, Sole, Soal, Sowl, and Soule. George Soule's signature appears among the thirty- five appended to the celebrated "compact." In 1633, being then m., he was admitted to the privileges of a "freeman." His wife was Mary Beckett. Four years later he was one of the volunteers who fought in the Pequod War. He d. in 1680, probably in Duxbury, where he had become a resident in 1638.

John2 Soule, b. about the year 1632, eldest son of George, the Pilgrim, served his fellow- townsmen in the capacities of Surveyor of Highways and Grand Juryman. In 1698 he was an arbitrator of disputes regarding land between Duxbury and Plymouth. He d. in 1707. Recent genealogical research has shown that Johnª Soule was twice m. ; that his first wife was Rebecca Simmons, daughter of Moses Simmons; and that she was the mother of sev-

eral of his children, probably all except Joshua, Josiah, and Joseph, they being his sons by his second wife, Esther Sampson. She was the widow of Samuel Sampson, who was killed in King Philip's War. It was long supposed that she was daughter of Philip Delano, but the mention of her sons - Samuel, Jr., and Ichabod Sampson - in the will of Lieutenant Samuel Nash as his grandsons shows that she must have been his daughter. (See New Eng- land Historical Genealogical Register, 1898, p. 76.)

Moses3 Soule, son of John, 2 resided in Dux- bury, and was a wealthy man, being the pro- prietor of an estate appraised at seven hundred and thirty-six pounds, sixteen shillings, five pence. His death occurred in 1751. From him the ancestral line of Henry M. Soule passes to his third child, Barnabas, 4 who re- moved from Duxbury to North Yarmouth about the year 1742, and there three years later pur- chased a homestead. Barnabas Soule d. April 8, 1780. His wife, Jane Bradbury, was a great-grand-daughter of the Rev. John Wheel- wright, the noted divine.

John5 Soule, b. March 12, 1740, the second child of Barnabas and Jane Soule, was baptized September 5, 1742. He followed the calling of sea captain for a period of his life. The first of his three marriages was contracted No- vember 30, 1763, with Elizabeth Mitchell, who d. December 26, 1794; the second, which took place October 10, 1795, united him with Elizabeth Stanwood, of Brunswick, whose death occurred April 26, 1800; and the third united him with Chloe Josselyn on April 17, 1814. Rufus,6 b. in 1785, his ninth child by his first wife, was a prominent man in Freeport, Me., where he served for many years in various posi- tions of trust and honor, and was known as "Honorable Rufus." On June 2, 1805, he was m. to Susan Mitchell. After her death he m. successively Philomela Talbot and Hannah Small. Having attained the venerable age of eighty-two years, he d. September 22, 1867.

Rufus7 Cushing Soule, b. in Freeport, March 26, 1816, d. October 31, 1897, the sixth child of Rufus Soule, was a ship carpenter by trade, and he engaged in shipbuilding to a consider- able extent. Afterward he became a mer-

chant. On January 19, 1842, he m. Ann J. Robinson, daughter of Nathan Robinson, of Attleboro, and his wife, Abigail Perrin, of Seekonk. Their children are: Howard Ever- ett, b. November 18, 1844; Arthur Hayden, b. July 12, 1850; Evelyn Judson, b. August 7, 1854, deceased; Stanwood Talbot, b. De- cember 27, 1858; and Henry Martin, the sub- ject of this biography.

Born in Freeport, Me., November 21, 1861, Henry Martin Soule passed his early years in his native town. He received his education in the public schools of Freeport, graduating from the Freeport High School in 1881. In 1881 he went to Portland, Me., in the wholesale mercantile business, where he remained two years, when he came to Boston and engaged as a commercial traveller in the same line of busi- ness. In 1892 he became associated with Cyrus W. Davis, of Waterville, Me., forming the firm of Davis & Soule, which has since been actively engaged in the investment busi- ness, having to do with the organization of companies under Maine laws and the manage- ment of some of the large mining corporations in Colorado and California. The company has offices in Boston, Mass., and Waterville, Me. Mr. Soule is also treasurer of the Silverton, Gladstone, & Northerly Railroad, which was built through the enterprise of Davis & Soule.

On May 2, 1888, Mr. Soule married Susie Boyd Hall. Mrs. Soule was born in Bethel, Me., March 10, 1866, daughter of George Per- cival and Adrianna Veazie Hall. She is a descendant of John' Hall, b. in England in 1627, who was the first representative of his family in this country. This ancestor was re- siding in Concord, Mass., in 1652, when he was made a freeman. In 1675 he removed to Medford, of which town he was a Selectman in 1690. In the old burying-ground of Medford may still be seen his gravestone bearing the following inscription : -

"HERE LIES THE BODY OF JOHN HALL AGED 74 YEARS, DIED THE 18TH OF OCTOBER, 170I. THE MEMORY OF THE JUST IS BLESSED."

His wife Elizabeth, whom he m. April 2, 1656, was a daughter of Percival and Ellen Green. Their son Percival2 (b. in Cambridge,

He was one of the proprietors of Sutton in 1720, purchasing sev- eral five hundred-acre rights. He served as Representative of Sutton in the General Court. On October 18, 1697, he m. Jane, daughter of Thomas and Grace (Tay) Willis, of Woburn. His son Thomas (b. Medford, August 12, 1712, d. Cornish, N. H., July, 1797) resided in Sutton from his eighth year until his second marriage. Then he removed to Millbury and later to Cornish, N. H. In this latter town he was Deacon of the Congregational church for a period. His first marriage took place June 30, 1737, when Judith Chase became his wife. After her death in Sutton, he m. Hul- dah Park, of Millbury, Mass. His son Per- cival, 4 b. in Sutton, March 15 or 26, 1741, became a physician and surgeon, and subse- quently served as such with Colonel Leonard's regiment in the Revolutionary War. He began practice in New Braintree, Mass., in 1764. In 1793 he removed to Boston, where he was engaged in his profession throughout the rest of his life, and where he d. September 24, 1825. His wife, whom he m. May 12, 1764, was Margaret Ware, of Wrentham. His son Bradshaw5 (b. January 23, 1778, d. Castine, Me., February, 1825) was respected wherever he was known, was Town Clerk in Castine for twenty years, County Treasurer and Registrar of Deeds for Hancock County for a period, and the cashier of a bank. The first of his two marriages united him, on September 25, 1806, with Mary Ann Jarvis, who d. August, 1816. His second marriage, August 23, 1818, was contracted with widow Lovina Tyler. She d.

Mr. and Mrs. Soule have one child - How- ard Percival, who was born March 5, 1891, and is now a pupil in a private school in Boston. Mr. Soule was a resident of Newtonville for about twelve years after his marriage, but now resides in Boston winters. He also has a sum- mer residence at Annisquam, Mass. He is a member of the State Street Congregational Church in Portland, Me., and he is an esteemed Mason of Dalhousie Lodge, Newtonville, Royal Arch Chapter, and Gethsemane Commandery, K. T.

B ENJAMIN SANBORN PALMER, a member of the widely known Boston firm of Chase & Sanborn, was born in Boston, Mass., October 21, 1856. A son of Benjamin Franklin and Abigail (Hobart) Palmer, he is a descendant, in the ninth generation, through his paternal great- grandmother, of John Sanborn, the immigrant ancestor; and through his mother he is de- scended from Edmund Hobart, who settled in Charlestown, Mass., in 1633.

In 1884 he became connected with the firm of Chase & Sanborn, and January 1, 1900, he was admitted as a partner. In 1887 he as- sumed charge of the branch house in Montreal, Canada, but in less than a year after he was transferred to Chicago, where he had control of the Chase & Sanborn branch house for a year.

ILLIAM E. MCCLINTOCK, of Chelsea, was born in Hallowell, Me., July 29, 1848, a son of Cap- tain John and Mary Bailey (Shaw) McClintock. The founder of the Mcclintock family in America, William McClintock, was b. in Scotland about 1670, and d. in Medford, Mass., about 1760, at the advanced age of ninety years. When a young man he migrated to the north of Ireland, where in 1689 he as- sisted in the defence of Londonderry. Coming to New England, he settled in Medford prior to 1732, and was an industrious and thrifty farmer of that community. He was three times m. before leaving Ireland, his third wife emigrating to this country with him. He sub- sequently m. a fourth time, and by his four wives was the father of nineteen children. William2 McClintock was b. in the north of Ireland, and as a nursing child came to Amer- ica with his parents. His first wife, Jane, d. in Medford, and he afterward removed to Boothbay, Me., where he m. Margaret Fuller- ton, September 16, 1773. He d. from yellow fever June 3, 1779, in Boothbay, Me., when forty-nine years of age.

William3 McClintock, b. in Boothbay, Me., September 29, 1778, d. in Bristol, Me., on March 18, 1875, in the ninety-seventh year of his age. Commencing life as a sailor at the age of seventeen, he followed the sea off and on until July, 1828. He was mate on the schooner "Hester," with Captain Dickey, bound to Bristol from the West Indies, when she was captured, August 18, 1798, by a French privateer, and an officer and prize crew put on board. The Yankee sailors, however, under the leadership of Mate McClintock, over- powered the prize crew and took them to Bris- tol, whence they were removed to the jail in

Wiscasset. On a subsequent voyage, while master of the sloop "Hunter," Captain Mc- Clintock was overhauled by a French privateer, who boarded him in his own boat. The cap- tain of the privateer proved to be the same man who had made the previous capture of the "Hester," and who had been released from the Wiscasset jail through the efforts of Captain McClintock. The "Hunter" was allowed to go free. On October 9, 1800, while master of the sloop "Hunter " from the West Indies to Bristol, Me., Captain McClintock provi- dentially rescued from death twenty-five men from the wrecked British sloop-of-war "Galgo," Captain George S. Stovan. On October 12 of the same year the "Hunter " was hove to by an armed vessel under the Spanish colors and robbed of spare cordage, twine, arms, and sev- eral puncheons of rum. Most of his voyages were between New England and West Indian ports, but in 1807 he crossed the Atlantic to the port of Dublin, Ireland.

Captain William McClintock was possessed of a wonderful memory, was a man of com- manding figure, a skilled navigator, and a land surveyor of no mean ability. From 1808 he became prominent in public affairs, serving as a member of the Massachusetts Legislature in 1809, 1810, 1811, 1812, and the Maine Leg- islature two years, the last time being in 1835. In 1815 he was appointed by the town authori- ties to make a plan of Bristol, in conformity with the order of the General Court of Massa- chusetts, which was at that time struggling to settle the troubles arising from different claims to the land under titles known as the Drown right, the Tappan right, the Brown right, and the Lincoln Academy right. Captain Mc- Clintock at different times served as tithing- man and Selectman, and was often called upon to settle disputes as referee. He held com- mission as Justice of the Peace in 1810 and 1817, and was inspector in the Custom House under Collectors Farley and McCobb. He was also a member of the Constitutional Con- vention, authorized by the Acts of the Massa- chusetts Legislature of 1816, for the purpose of determining whether the District of Maine should be set off as an independent State.

He m. Frances Young, of Bristol, December

II, 1800. As a result of this union there were the following children : Jane, b. Septem- ber 20, 1801, m. John Wheeler, December 15, 1831, d. January 17, 1838; James Y., b. De- cember 4, 1802, m. Rachael A. Young, Aug- ust 7, 1837, d. March 21, 1883; Margaret, b. June 1, 1805, m. Jonathan McFadden, Decem- ber 29, 1833, d. October 17, 1849; John, b. April 9, 1807, m. Mary B. Shaw, September 26, 1841, d. September 8, 1886; William, b. February 8, 1809, m. Hannah D. Staples, De- cember 21, 1837, d. March 15, 1901; Nancy, b. December 26, 1810, m. William McIntire, d. December 19, 1875; Mary, b. June 28, 1813, m. William Lane, d. December 17, 1895. There are no living descendants, ex- cept the children of Margaret McFadden and John McClintock. Margaret McFadden had one son and three daughters, namely : Mary Donald, b. September 30, 1834, m. William Hatch, December 2, 1866, still living in Bris- tol; William James, b. November 23, 1838, unmarried, lost at sea December 31, 1858; Hannah Amelia m. Fred Smith, still living in Bristol; Sarah Frances m. Burdrick Berry, lost at sea 188 -. Mary Donald Hatch and Hannah Amelia Smith are now living in Bristol, Me., and have families. Sarah Frances Berry, to- gether with her only child, was drowned at the time her husband's vessel was wrecked in 188 -.

Captain John McClintock, the fourth child and second son of Captain William McClin- tock and Frances Young, was b. in Bristol, Me., April 9, 1807, and d. in Chelsea, Mass., September 8, 1886. He lived on the old farm in Bristol, assisting his father until 1827, when on November 27 he shipped before the mast on the schooner "Franklin," of which his father was captain. This first voyage of the son John was the last voyage of the father, William. John McClintock attended the dis- trict school for about six weeks each year for about nine years, and there getting instruction in the three R's. He was a great reader and close observer, and employed the winters of 1828, 1829, 1830, 1831, and 1832 in teaching district school in various towns of Maine. In the winter of 1836-37, his vessel being frozen in near Middleton, Conn., he attended chemi- cal lectures by Professor Johnson at Middleton

GENEALOGY AND PERSONAL HISTORY

College, and the high school under Master Garfield, studying book-keeping, algebra, and chemistry. In 1829 he made his first invest- ment by purchasing one-eighth interest in a new sixty-ton schooner called the "Aurora," and for two years engaged in the codfish and mackerel fishing business, taking advantage of the bounty then being paid by the United States government.

In 1833 he bought one-eighth of the one-hun- dred-ton sloop "Eliza," built in Waldoborough ; and for the first time, at the age of twenty-six, took command of a vessel, a business which he continued in for forty-seven years after that date, to 1880, and which took him to important ports in all parts of the world. During these years he commanded the "Eliza," the schooners "Increase" and "Mary and Suzan," the brig "Arixem," the ship "Gennesee," the schooner "Braganza," the bark "Roderic Dhu," the ship "Dashaway," the bark "Harry Hammond," the ship "Clara," and the schooner "Hattie." He made the passage around Cape Horn a score of times, crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific until they were as familiar as the old road at home, and traversed the Yellow and the China Seas at a time when a thorough outfit was necessary to ward off the pirates then infesting those waters. He never lost a vessel, and rarely met with serious disas- ter. A greater part of his life work was before the days of telegraph and cable, and the ob- taining of charters and caring for freights had to be attended to by the ship's captain, un- aided by others. He was always spoken of as a stern but just shipmaster.

On September 26, 1841, he m. Mary Bailey Shaw, who was b. May 15, 1821, and d. Octo- ber 25, 1866. There were b. of this union four children, all of whom are now living. They are as follows : John Norris, b. April 3, 1846, m. Josephine C. Tilton, October 3, 1870; William Edward, b. July 29, 1848, m. Mary Estelle Currier, June 17, 1873 ; J. T., b. April 20, 1853, m. Mary Robinson, 1879; Mary Lizzie, b. April 13, 1859, unmarried.

John N. McClintock has one son - John Tilton, m. to Grace Coffin (no children)- and one daughter - Arabella, who is unmarried. A second son - Edward Pratt McClintock - d.

in 1901, and is buried in Forest Hill Ceme- tery, Boston. He left a widow, but no chil- dren. John McClintock and Mary B. McClin- tock are buried side by side in the East Win- throp, Me., cemetery.

Mary Bailey Shaw, b. May 15, 1821, as above noted, was a daughter of William Stacey and Martha (Bailey) Shaw. Her father, b. October 2, 1789, d. April 5, 1851. His mother's maiden name was Margaret Lancas- ter.

On the maternal side Mary Bailey Shaw was a descendant of John Bailey, Sr., a weaver, who came from Chippenham, England, in 1635, being wrecked in the great storm of August 15, that year, at Pemaquid, now Bris- tol, Me. John' settled at Newbury, and in 1637 plunged further into the forest near the mouth of the Powow River, where in 1639 was begun the settlement of Colchester, afterwards called Salisbury. He had the sole right of fishing in the Powow River, holding a grant to that effect in 1642. He d. at Newbury, No- vember 2, 1651. His wife never came to this country. The line of descent from John1 to Martha Bailey, who m. William Stacey Shaw, according to recent investigations, is in all probability as follows : -

John2 Bailey, b. in England in 1613, m. in 1640 Eleanor Emery. He was first a weaver and subsequently a husbandman. He received land in the "first division" at Salisbury, 1640- 43. Then in 1643 he removed to Newbury, where he was Selectman in 1664, and was made freeman in 1669. He d. in Newbury, March, 1690-I. He had ten children - Re- becca, John, Sarah, Joseph, James, Joshua (d. in infancy), Isaac, Joshua (second), Rachel, and Judith.

The Rev. James3 Bailey, b. at Newbury, September 12, 1650, graduated at Harvard College in 1669, and was minister at Salem Village, 1671-80. He removed to Killing- worth, Conn., 1682; d. in Roxbury, Mass., June 18, 1707; was a minister and practising physician at Roxbury. He m. September 17, 1672, Mary, daughter of George and Elizabeth Carr, of Salisbury. (Roxbury Church Records printed : Persons admitted to full communion Oct. 1697, James Bailey, sen., dismissed from

the church of Salem and recommended to this church. James Bailey, Junr. )

James4 Bailey was b. at Salem Village (now Danvers) in 1675 (Essex Antiquarian, 1901), and d. October 24, 1715. He was known as Lieutenant Bailey, and was a saddler in Rox- bury. He m. Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Samuel Ruggles, of Roxbury, June 3, 1697. His wife d. in 1733. They had eight chil- dren, the youngest of whom, Joshua, probably d. before 1733, as he is not mentioned in the settlement of the estate.

The Rev. James5 Bailey was b. in Roxbury in 1698, and was graduated at Harvard College in 1719. He taught school at Andover; was ordained first pastor of the Second Congrega- tional Church at Weymouth, September 26, 1723. Hed. in August, 1766. He was greatly beloved by his people and highly esteemed in the neighboring parishes. By his wife Sarah, whose maiden surname is not known, he had eleven children, namely: James, b. 1722; Sarah, who d. young; Joshua, b. 1726, who m. and removed to Woolwich, Me .; Thomas, who m. and lived in Boston; Samuel, also m., who resided in Boston ; Nathaniel, who m. and lived in South Weymouth; Daniel, who d. in in- fancy; John, b. in 1737, who went to Wool- wich; Daniel, b. in October, 1742; Mary ; and Benjamin, who d. young.

John6 Bailey, b. February 2, 1737, removed to Woolwich, Me. (Bailey Genealogy, Part II., compiled by Mrs. Abbie F. Ellsworth, of Rowley, Mass.) No further mention is made of this John6 Bailey in the Bailey Genealogy from which most of the above facts were taken, but there seems little doubt that he was the John Bailey, of Woolwich, Me., who, as re- corded elsewhere, m. Elizabeth Anne Memoir (Momoi), the daughter of a French officer (weaver). This John Bailey was a Captain in the Revolutionary army. He d. July 29, 1813, aged eighty years. His widow d. Jan- uary 17, 1828. Their children were as fol- lows (all b. in Woolwich) : Benjamin, b. November 10, 1761, d. 1858; John Maximill- ian, b. August 8, 1764, d. October 5, 1857 ; Elizabeth Limer, b. March 22, 1767, m. 1787 Josiah Brookins, d. March 5, 1792; George, b. September 7, 1769, d. 1858; David, b. May,
