BAYLIES. The Baylies family, from which Gustavus B. Williams is also descended, originated in England. There, at Fullford Heath, Warwick- shire, Thomas Baylies and Esther Sargeant were married by Quaker ceremony. Their children were Thomas, Jr., (later of Taunton, Massachusetts) Nancy, Hannah Esther, Nicholas, Mary, Sally and Helen. The family sailed from London for Bos- ton, and settled in Cumberland, Rhode Island, in 1737, where Thomas operated a furnace, probably aided by his two sons, Thomas and Nicholas. In 1739 the sons leased the works on the Mumford river, where is the present Whitinsville, for twenty- one years. The older of the brothers, Thomas, Jr., did not appear in the undertaking, but located at Taunton, where he set up a forge, and later (probably) carried on a trade in various articles. The works on Mumford river were operated for their full term by the senior Baylies and his son, until the father died, May 5, 1756, aged sixty-ninc years, and by the son until 1760. They produced or dealt in "pigg" and "barr" iron, nails, and other iron merchandise, and had besides the water-power (formerly used in running a saw mill) and forty- five years before Northbridge existed as a town, had an "ore-yard" and "refinery," known as the Baylies "Finery" on the road locations in the county rec- ords. Esther Sargeant Baylies died May 7, 1754, aged sixty-four years. Soon after 1760 Nicholas removed to Taunton; he died in 1807, and his brother Thomas continued to live there. Nicholas married Elizabeth Park, of Newton, in 1738, a year after his coming to New England.
Nicholas, Jr., son of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Park) Baylies, was born in 1739, and lived in Baylies Hill, Uxbridge, where he had a large farm, and where he died in 1831, aged ninety-two years. Knowledge as to the time of the erection of his house is not exact. Traditon has it that he built the main part when he was nineteen, that is, before his marriage. Mr. Wilmarth, his great-grandson, who occupied the premises until recently, remem- bers the cellar of a former house, in the vicinity of the present one, which was probably the original house of Nicholas Baylies.
Nicholas Baylics closed up his father's business, and seems to have taken two at least of the com- pany's old books of account from 1739 to 1744 for his own use in his transactions from 1760 to 1796. He credits and charges the Williams, the Adams, Dr. Joshua Wood, the Prentices, the Reads, Raw- sons. Rev. Dr. Webb, the Southwicks, Nathan Tyler, the revolutionary colonel; the Caprons. Hay- wards, Drapers, Thwings and others. He was a much trusted man, and settled the estate (large for

that time) of his neighbor, David Draper, and set- tled a controversy as an arbiter between Joseph Adams and David Draper. His accounts show that he was an intelligent, careful manager, recording carefully his dealings and settling most scrupulously with his white and negro servants, his neighbors, father, brothers, and even with his children.
Nicholas Baylies joined the church in Uxbridge in 1769, when he was thirty years old, was elected deacon in 1783, and served as such forty-eight years, until his death. He was spoken of by those who best knew him, as one of the best of men and a most earnest Christian, greatly devoted to the work and service of the church. A granddaughter (Mrs. Betsey W. Aldrich) remembered him after he was ninety, tottering to his deacon's seat in the old Ux- bridge meeting house, three miles from his home, even in inclement weather, thus showing his zeal to be in his place of worship.
Nicholas Baylies married Abigail Wood, of Ux- bridge, in 1760, and they had twelve children, all (it is believed) born on Baylies Hill: Gustavus, Timothy, Elizabeth, Nicholas, Adolphus (died young), Abigail, Mary, Susannah, Alpheus, Nancy, Eleanor and Submit. The family Bible containing the family record (in great part made by Nicholas Baylies) is now in the possession of Mrs. Cornelia A. (Brigham) Taft, widow of Calvin Taft, of Wor- cester, youngest daughter of Susannah (Baylies) Brigham, late of Grafton, and who is the last sur- vivor save one of the Nicholas Baylies' grand- children. The record is quaintly phrased, and con- tains the following: "The same Nicholas Baylies aforesaid married to his second wife, Hannah Elliott, December 8, 1789. She was born in Sut- ton, and a son George was born to them in 1800, and died in 1804. The third wife, Abigail Adams, is recorded as born in Mendon, and she died in Uxbridge, May 24, 1822, in her sixty-third year. The page ends with the direction: "Turn over and see on the next page the record of Births and deaths of the said Nicholas Baylies' children," and must have been written after his death, as only three children died before him. His fourth wife was Olive (Thayer) Taft, widow of Ezekiel Taft; she survived him many years, occupying the homestead.
Of the large family of Nicholas Baylies, but one ( Alphens) remained on the farm. Several of the sons were college graduates, became lawyers or physicians, locating in various states. The daugh- ters married men of good standing for the most part, and some removed to other states. Susannah became the wife of Captain Charles Brigham, of Brigham Hill, Grafton, and died in 1837, having borne eleven children. Her fifth son, Nicholas, died recently in Grafton at the age of ninety-five years. Several of her descendants came to dis- tinction. Another daughter of Nicholas Baylies, Abigail, married Henry Chapin, of Uxbridge, who settled in White Pigeon, Michigan; their daughter, Mrs. Eliza (Chapin) Wheaton, was the founder of the Wheaton Female Seminary at Groton, where she died in 1905 at the venerable age of ninety-six years. Another daughter, Nancy (grandmother of Gustavus B. Williams) married Stephen Williams, of Williams Hill, Uxbridge. She died in 1843, hav- ing had a family of ten children. Except Mrs. Taft, no grandchildren of Nicholas Baylies yet survive, but his remote descendants are scattered from Maine to California, and are very numerous.
HOWARTH FAMILY. John Howarth (1) was a manufacturer of flannels in Rochdale, Lan- cashire, England, over a hundred years ago. His
great-grandson and his great-great-grandson are among the most prominent manufacturers of flan- nels and woolen goods in Worcester county. The firm is known all over the country. It would be difficult to find any family that could equal the Howarth record of five generations in the same line of manufacturing on both sides of the ocean. John Howarth had three sons: James, Isaac, Charles.
(II) Charles Howarth, son of John Howarth (I), was born in Rochdale, England. He was edni- cated there and learned in his father's mills the art of manufacturing flannels. He married Eliza- beth Lord. In 1826, with his two brothers, James and Isaac Howarth, his wife and son Andrew. he came to Andover, Massachusetts, where the three brothers began the manufacture of fine-dressed flannels, the first to be made in this country. In this connection it is said that Dolly Howarth, wife of James Howarth, was the first to weave a piece of genuine wool flannel in New England, if not in America. But the late Andrew Howarth pointed out that the statement was not literally correct, be- cause his aunt was a spinner, not a weaver.
(III) Andrew Howarth, son of Charles Howarth (2), was born in Rochdale England, September 17, 1820. He came to this country with his parents at the age of six and was educated in the public schools of Andover, Massachusetts, finishing his schooling with a course at Phillips Academy. He began at the bottom of the ladder in his father's mill, working in its various departments, and by years of experience in the trades connected with woolen manufacture fitted himself for the super- vision of the entire manufacture of first-class goods.
In 1844, when but twenty-four years of age, he went to Keeseville, New York, where he took charge of the weaving in the mill of Arnold & Keese. He remained there two years and in 1846 removed to Waterville, Vermont, where for a year and a half he was overseer of weaving in the mill of John Herren. He next removed to Bellingham, Massachusetts, where he was for about six months in the employ of Kittridge & Loring. In August, 1847, he had an offer from the Virginia Woolen Manufacturing Company to go to Richmond, Vir- ginia. He accepted the position of overseer and
The Learned House, North Oxford, Massachusetts, built by General Ebenezer Learned, soon after the Revolutionary War. Mr. Learned was a captain in French and Indian wars, serving from 1756 to 1763; was at Fort Edward and marched, without orders, to the relief of Fort William Henry when it was beleagured. Prominent as a town official and a colonel in the War of the Revo- lution, April 19, 1775, and February 6, 1777.

later was made superintendent. In 1854 these mills were burned and not rebuilt. Mr. Howarth re- turned to the north and accepted a position as over- seer of the weaving room at George Hodge's mill in Oxford, Massachusetts. After four months he went to Little Falls, New York, to take a responsi- ble position as overseer in the mills of the Saxony Woolen Company, and in 1859 he was promoted to the position of superintendent. He ably managed the affairs of the company for thirteen years, after which he resigned to go into business on his own account. Having by prudence and economy accumu- lated adequate means, Mr. Howarth in 1872 bought a mill of two sets at Northfield, Vermont, and from that time on his success was uninterrupted. Ten years of successful business enabled him in 1882 to purchase the mill at Oxford, where he had worked as overseer for George Hodges, and during IS82, 1883 and part of 1884 he operated both mills. In 1884 he sold the Vermont mill and in 1890 bought the mill at Rochdale, Massachusetts, a few miles from his other mill. After the first few years Mr. Howarth took his only son, Francis A. Howarth, into partnership and the firm name has since been Andrew Howarth & Son.
Mr. Howarth had a residence at 45 Cedar street. Worcester, and a handsome country home in Ox- ford. He was recognized early as one of the lead- ing manufacturers in his line in the county and state. He was decided in his opinions, but held liberal views in public affairs. He commanded the respect and enjoyed the confidence of the entire community. He was cautious in business, but gen- erous and charitable in his nature. He had un- usual business ability and kept in close touch with every detail of his business. He died June 23, 1905. During the last eight years of his life he was troubled with rheumatism, but characteristically enough. even when he was unable to leave the house, he did not dissociate himself from the busi- ness and until within six months of his death, at the advanced age of eighty-five, he kept a close eye on the firm's affairs. His mind and will remained vigorous to the end.
He married, September 26, 1846. at Waterville, Vermont, Martha Moorcroft. She died April, 1877. at Northfield, Vermont. After her death he resided in the family of his son at Worcester and Oxford, Massachusetts. This son, Francis Andrew, was the only surviving child.
(IV) Francis Andrew Howarth, son of Andrew Howarth (3), was born in Richmond. Virginia, September 4, 1849. He came north with his parents when a young child and attended school in Little Falls, New York. He prepared for college at Phillips Andover Academy and entered Brown Uni- versity, from which he was graduated with the class of 1872. That was the same year in which his father went into business, and he followed his father's own experience and learned the business from the ground up. Together he and his father worked to build their fortunes and for over thirty years they were partners in business. Since the death of the senior partner his grandson, Andrew P. Howarth, has been admitted to partnership but the firm name continues as before Andrew Howarth & Son.
As stated above the Oxford Mill was bought in 1882. Here the famous white flannel of the Ho- warth firm is manufactured; some sixty hands are employed and the finest material produced in this country is turned out there. This mill is at present under the direct supervision of Andrew P. Howarth, the junior member of the firm. The Rochdale woolen mill is located on the line between Leicester
and Oxford, Massachusetts, near the Rochdale rail- road station. It has a particularly picturesque loca- tion and is often admired from the trains by pas- sengers on the Boston & Albany Railroad. The factory tenements are well kept and the village is attractive. A large number of the operatives are English from the town of Rochdale, England, where the older generations of Howarths manu- factured woolens and flannels. At the Rochdale mills fine broadcloths and all wool dress goods are made. About one hundred and fifty hands are ein- ployed and the mill is run to its full capacity. Plans are under way to enlarge the capacity of the mill. For thirty years the product of the firm has been sold by Faulkner, Page & Co., 58 Worth street, New York, and 91 Bedford street, Boston, con- mission merchants. The Rochdale mill was for- merly owned by Eben Dale, though originally these mills were known as Clapp's inills and the village was called Clappville. It is interesting to note that part of the present mill at Oxford consists of the same little factory owned by Hodges, built about IS24. Extensive additions and alterations have been made in late years. When the Howarths first came to this mill it was operated by Francis A. Howarth for two years or until his father sold the Vermont mill and moved to Massachusetts. Hodges made flannels there also. A railroad station on the Boston & Albany Railroad has been named for the mills, Howarths. Mr. Howarth is reckoned among the strongest manufacturers financially. He is in politics a stanch Protectionist and Republican, though he never cared for office personally. He is not a member of fraternal orders and belongs to few societies. He is a member of the Common- wealth Club of Worcester.
Mr. Howarth married Bertha A. Husy, of Ho- boken, New Jersey, and they have one son: Andrew P. Howarth, born in Northfield, Vermont, May 12, 1874.
(V) Andrew P. Howarth, son of Francis An- drew Howarth (4), was born in Northfield, Ver- mont, May 12, 1874. He was educated in the Wor- cester schools and Worcester Academy. As soon as he had completed his education he went into the mill to learn the business of his father and fore- fathers. For several years he has had full charge of the Oxford woolen mill of Andrew Howarth & Son and has been a partner in the firm. Mr. Howarth has inherited the skill, enterprise and business acumen of the family and ranks well in business circles already. He is a well known Mason, having taken all the degrees of the Scottish Rite, including the thirty-second .. He is a past master of Oxford Lodge, a member of Hiram Council and Worces- ter County Commandery, Knights Templar, and Aleppo Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. He is a Re- publican. The family attend the Protestant Episco- pal church.
Mr. Howarth married, October 6, 1897, Sarah Johnstone Rhodes, daughter of Jolin Rhodes. Their children are: Andrew John, born 1902; Francis George, 1904.
REUBEN EARLE CARPENTER. Few Amer- ican families have been traced so thoroughly and accurately in America and England as that of the Carpenter family. The line is traced back for a period of over six hundred years.
(I) John Carpenter, the first progenitor to whom the line is definitely traced in the English records, was born in 1303. He was a member of parliament in 1323.
(II) Richard Carpenter. son of John Carpenter (1), was born in 1335; he married Christina

and both are buried in St. Martin's, Outwitch, Bishopsgate street, London. He was a chandler and probably also a gunsmith.
(III). John Carpenter, Sr., son of Richard Car- penter (2), and brother of John Carpenter, Jr., the famous town clerk of London, whose bequest to the city of certain funds was the foundation of the city of London school. It was perplexing. one would think, to have two sons in the same family of the same name, but it was a common practice, even when both were living. The younger was called Junior, sometimes Jenkin. John, Sr. was one of the executors of John, Jr's will and he was men- tioned in the will as well as another brother Robert who was given "one of those two silver gilt cups with a lid which Thomas Knolle gave me." Robert was also an executor.
(IV) John Carpenter, son of John Carpenter (3), left little record.
(V) William Carpenter, son of John Carpenter (4), was born 1440 and died 1520, called "of Homme."
(VI) James Carpenter was son of William Car- penter (5).
(VII) John Carpenter was son of James Car- penter (6).

He rented certain tenements and gardens mentioned in the will of John Carpenter, the town clerk, in London, in 1625. He came to America in the ship "Bevis" in May, 1638, together with his son William, his son's wife, Abigail, and their four children. All were Dis- senters or Puritans, and obliged to leave London. He returned to England on the same ship on the return trip for some unknown reason and spent the remainder of his days in England. He lived at Wherwell.
(X) William Carpenter, son of William Car- penter (9), and really the immigrant ancestor of Reuben Earle Carpenter, of Milford, was born in England about 1605. He came as stated in May, 1638, with his father, wife, and four of their chil- dren, all under ten years of age.

Governor Brad- ford, who married his cousin, had a strong friend- ship for him and aided his measures in the legis- lature. He transacted most of the legal business of Rehoboth. He was on the committee to lay out the road from Rehoboth to Dedham, Massachusetts. In 1647 and again in 1655 he was a director of the town. He was appointed captain in 1642. His home lot was No io of the first division June 30, 1644.
He died at Rehoboth, February 7, 1659. His will was dated April 10, and proved April 21, 1659. It showed that he and his cousin William, of Rhode Island, owned land jointly at Pawtuxet.
He married Abigail , who was born in England, 1606, died February 22, 1687. Her estate was administered September 7, 1687, by her son William.

He was on the committee to sell the Rehoboth meet- ing house in 1683. He was a man of some educa- tion, wrote a good hand, and showed evidences of superior ability. His home was on the left side of the road leading from East Providence meeting house to Rehoboth, and his grave at Rehoboth is marked by a stone.
He married Priscilla Bennett, October 5. 1651. She died October 20, 1663. He married (second) Miriam Searles, December 10, 1663.
