The family tradition makes him a nobleman's son and a relative of Queen Elizabeth. At any rate he brought the Grosvenor coat-of-arms and used it, and it is in- scribed on his gravestone at Roxbury, Massachu- setts. He married Esther Clark, born in 1651, died at Pomfret, Connecticut, June 15, 1738. He died at Roxbury, September 27, 1691. Among their chil- dren was Ebenezer Grosvenor.

November 5, 1794, and dismissed November 17, 1802. He was a trustee of Leicester Academy from July 4, 1785, to 1815, when he resigned. At the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775, he shouldered his musket and marched with the minutemen to Cam- bridge. He was an affable and able pastor, but gave up preaching because of bronchial trouble, and removed to Petersham, Massachusetts, where he died July 22, 1834.
He married in Sutton, May 9, 1776, Deborah Hall, born in Sutton, Massachusetts, March 5, 1756, daughter of Rev. David Hall, of Sutton, who was the pastor of a church in Sutton for nearly sixty years, and who died May 8, 1789. Rev.

Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Jonathan Prescott, of Concord, who was a son of Jonathan and Eliza- beth (Hoar) Prescott, the latter named having been a daughter of Hon. John Hoar of Concord. Jona- than Prescott was descended from John Prescott, first settler of Worcester county at Lancaster, Mas- sachusetts, to whom the wife of the late Governor Roger Wolcott has erected a memorial stone, he being an ancestor of hers. Dr. Jonathan Prescott married Rebecca, daughter of Hon. Peter Bulkeley, Jr., born in Concord, 1642, was graduated from Har- vard, 1660. He married Rebecca Wheeler, April 16, 1667. His father, Rev. Peter Bulkeley, first minister of Concord, was born at Woodhill, Bed- fordshire, England, January 31, 1583. He was the tenth generation in direct line of descent from Robert Bulkeley, one of the barons at the time of the death of King John, 1216. The names of lineal descendants : I. Robert. 2. William. 3.

The Bulkeley's and Grosvenors intermarried in England and America. The Rev. Peter Bulkeley, father of the Rev. Edward Bulkeley, who was a cousin of Queen Elizabeth, was a faithful minister of the gospel, under whose directions his son re- ceived a learned and religious education, suited to his distinguished rank. About the age of sixteen he was admitted a member of St. John's College at Cambridge, of which he was afterwards chosen fellow, and from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. He succeeded his father in the ministry of his native town, where he was a zealous preacher of evangelical truth about twenty years, and for the most part of the time lived an unmolested nonconformist. At length, his preach -- ing meeting with distinguished success, and his church being very much increased, complaints were entered against him by Archbishop Laud, and he was silenced for his nonconformity to the require- ments of the English church. This circumstance induced him to emigrate to New England, where he might enjoy liberty of conscience. He arrived in Cambridge, 1634. and was the leader of those resolute men and self-denying Christians, who soon after went further up into the woods and settled Concord. Mr. Bulkeley was remarkable for his benevolence. and here he expended most of his es- tate for the benefit of his people. He was a thorough scholar, an elevated, devotional Christian, laborious

Two of Mr. Bulkeley's manu- scripts are preserved in the library of the American Antiquarian Society. He gave a part of his library and some other donations to Harvard College. After a laborious and useful life, he died March 9, 1659, in his seventy-seventh year. He married for his first wife Jane, daughter of Sir Thomas Allen, of Goldington, whose nephew was Lord Mayor of London. By her he had nine sons and two daugh- ters. Eight years after her death he married Grace, daughter of Sir Richard Chitwood, by whom he had three sons and one daughter. From his son, Rev.

The top has been much twisted and torn by the storms of centuries, but the tree shows all signs of life and vigor, apparently sufficient to weather storms for centuries to come. It measures sixteen feet in circumference five feet from the ground. It is owned by the Historical Society. The Fairbanks house, where some of his ancestors lived, is still there; it was built in 1636. Rev. Joseph Avery entered Harvard before the close of his six- teenth year.

He became trav- eling salesman for the firm, covering the state of New York. In 1884 he went into business for him- self, establishing the Worcester Slipper Company, which proved a success from the first and has grown steadily. For twelve years the business was lo- cated at 13 Mechanic street; in August, 1898, he removed the factory to Park avenue, occupying a spacious four-story brick building, one hundred and twenty by forty-five feet, three hundred feet in length, formerly occupied by the E. H. Stark Com- pany shoe manufactory. The building is well equipped with the latest devices for fire protection. He gives employment to two hundred and fifty hands. To the business of ladies' slippers Mr. Grosvenor then added the manufacture of ladies' shoes, and the innovation again proved profitable. The Grosvenor factory is well built and arranged for its purposes, and is one of the best equipped in the state. The latest tools and machinery are in- stalled and the business kept right up-to-date. The product of the factory is sold direct to jobbers, and the reputation of the Worcester Slipper Company is said to be unsurpassed for reliable and stylish goods. The name of the company is a synonym for Mr. Grosvenor, who has made it from the start his per- sonal business and built it up step by step to its present proportions, giving employment to a couple of hundred hands and producing every week goods worth many thousand dollars. In politics . Mr.
Grosvenor is a Republican. He is a member of Plymouth Church.

ALBERT WILLARD ANDREWS. Robert Andrews (1), the emigrant ancestor of Albert Wil- lard Andrews, of Boylston and Worcester, Massa- chusetts, was a native of Boxford, England. He may have been a relative of Robert Andrews, of Ipswich, but the relationship is not known.
Robert Andrews or Andros (1), as the name was commonly spelled by the first generation, emigrated from Boxford, England, to New England about 1656 with six children and settled in Boxford, Mass- achusetts. He bought two hundred acres of land of John Lambert, of Rowley. The sale was confirmed by the government in July, 1661. The farm was situated on the west side of Pye brook in the vicinity of the farm now or lately owned by Joseph H. Janes. He erected his house on the land and cleared

part of it. He bought several other tracts of land in Boxford and in the neighboring village of Tops- field. He bought of Zaccheus Gould a lot on Fish brook. Ilis house was in some way destroyed be- fore 1668, when this lot was called the cellar lot and he erected a new house. The second house, built in 1668, was probably the old Andrews house which was below the lot of Nathaniel Smith on the same road.
