HON. RODNEY WALLACE. John Wallis (1), as the name was formerly spelled, the progenitor of Rodney Wallace, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, may have been an emigrant. He and his wife, Elizabeth Wallis were living in Stow, Massachusetts, as early as 1721, when the birth of a son Matthew was re- corded there. In 1722 Jolin Wallis was administra- tor of the esate of Mark Perkins, Jr. He is styled a brother-in-law of the widow Martha Perkins. John Wallis and William Wallis, then both of Stow, were the bondsmen of the widow Martha in the settle- ment of the estate. There are reasons for thinking that William was the brother of John.

John Wallis removed to Townsend as early as 1731, when he is styled as of Townsend, Massachu- setts. in a deed of land purchased of John Kemp dated November 12, 1731. In 1733 he bought a part of the Hathorn farm there. The title proved worth- less, and the proprietors granted him 190 acres near Mt. Grace. lle was one of the sixteen original members of the church at Townsend, and was select-

man of the town in 1747. In his will he mentions his wife Elizabeth; sons John, Matthew, Jonathan, Isaac, William; daughter Susannah Woolson; and grandchildren James, David, Jonathan and John Conick. John Wallis died May 20, 1763, aged eighty- seven years. Elizabeth, his widow, (second wife) died January 25, 1765, aged seventy-two years. His children were: 1.

Elizabeth, mar- ried, August 18, 1747, James Coneck; both probably died before 1763, as they are not named in the will of her father. 4. Matthew, born April 3, 1721 ; mar- ried, May 6, 1755. Jane Lesley ; lived in Brookline, New Hampshire, 1762-68, and probably longer ; died there 1778; his widow Jane paid taxes on the farm until the son became of age in 1782; he was a soldier in the revolution. 5.

(11) John Wallace (or Wallis), son of Jolm Wallis (1), born 1694 (or 1695, according to his gravestone), died September 30, 1777, aged eightv- three years. He removed with his father from Stow to Townsend in 1731. In 1730 while in Stow he purchased of his father-in-law Zebediah Wheeler's heirs land in Townsend adjoining Lunenburg and Groton. He must have lived with his brother Isaac some four years before he died, as board is paid by the estate for that period. Isaac was the adminis- trator. He married, February 15, 1721-2, Sarah, daughter of Zebediah Wheeler, of Stow. She died March 25, 1752. He married (second), February 15, 1753. Mary White of Groton; and (third).

The records show that he was in Lunenburg two years before his marriage, when he objected to the manner in which a highway was laid over his land in Lunenburg, and later the highway was relaid, apparently to his satisfaction. He is the immediate ancestor of the Ashby and Ashburnham families of this surname. He died March 15, 1792. His wife died August 25, 1790. He married, July 2, 1755, Rebecca Brown of Lynn.

(V) David Wallace, son of David Wallis (4), was born July 14, 1797. He established the "Wal- lace" form of the family name, and his descendants have followed his example. He was in early life a clothier in Fitchburg, and owned land and a mill near the Cushing mill, on Laurel street. Later he was a farmer in New Ipswich, and in Rindge, New

Hampshire. He was a worthy man and a good citizen. He died May 29, 1857. He married Roxanna Gowan, of New Ipswich, died in Fitchburg, February 27, 1876. Their children : 1. Harriet, born September 18,

(VI) Rodney Wallace, son of David Wallace (5), was born in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, December 21, 1823. In his youth his parents re- moved to Rindge, New Hampshire. At the age of twelve he left his home to work for a farmer for a year for forty dollars, with the privilege of at- tending school during the term of eight weeks. At the age of sixteen he began to drive freight from Bellows Falls, Vermont, and Rindge, New Hamp- shire, to Boston, taking lumber and produce and bringing back merchandise from the city. In 1843, when he was twenty years old, he entered the em- ploy of Dr. Stephen Jewett, of Rindge, New Hamp- shire, the proprietor of Jewett's famous patent med- icines, and subsequently traveled as the doctor's agent selling the medicines through five of the New England states. He removed to Fitchburg in 1853. and actively engaged in business in the wholesale trade in books, stationery and paper stock, which was conducted under the firm name of Shepley & Wallace, and later of R. Wallace & Company. His partner was Stephen Shepley. He organized the Fitchburg Paper Company in 1865, and the former partnership with Mr. Shepley was dissolved July I. Mr. Wallace retained the cotton waste depart- ment, which has since grown to large proportions . and become very profitable. The Wallace interests now handle several hundred thousand dollars worth of this waste annually. The Fitchburg Paper Com- pany was made up of Mr. Sheplev, Mr. Wallace and Benjamin Snow. They bought the Lyon Paper Mill and Kimball Scythe Shops at West Fitchburg, and began the manufacture of paper there. Stephen E. Denton was later admitted to the firm and took charge of the manufacturing. In July, 1865, when the business was just getting under way, Mr. Shep- ley sold his interests to Mr. Wallace and Mr. Snow. Mr. Denton died in June, 1866. Mr. Wallace bought Mr. Snow's interests, January 7, 1869, and January 23, 1869, bought the interests of the Denton estate. Since then Mr. Wallace and later his sons have had the sole ownership of the business of the Fitch- burg Paper Company. Mr. Wallace soon made in11- provements in his mill whereby the product was doubled. In 1876 he built a substantial stone dam and improved the water power. In 1878 he built a new brick mill and increased the product to six tons of paper daily. In 1887 he built another large

WORCESTER COUNTY

brick mill near the junction of Phillips brook and the Nashua river. The capacity of the plant at present is about thirty tons per day. The Fitch- burg Mills manufacture card and lithograph paper and similar high class papers. A village has grown up about the mills that the company has built, and many cottages have been built by Mr. Wallace and his company for the accommodation of employees. The mills have their own freight house and freight yard.

Mr. Wallace by no means confined his energies to the paper business. He was interested in many lines of business and all were successful. He be- came the leading citizen of the town, a position he unquestionably occupied for a number of years. Ile was a man of great public spirit. He was president and director of the Fitchburg Gas Light Company from 1864 until his death in 1903; a director of the Fitchburg National Bank, 1866-1903; was for many years a trustee of the Fitchburg Savings Bank; di- rector of the Fitchburg Mutual Fire Insurance Company; partner in the Fitchburg Woolen Mill; director of the Parkhill Manufacturing Company, and the Putnam Machine Company; a director in the Fitchburg Railroad Company and Springfield Trust Company ; a trustee of Smith College, North- ampton. He has been entrusted with the settlement of several large estates. His ambition in the po- litical world was restrained by the exacting burdens of business and the magnitude of the interests claim- ing his attention. He was selectman of the town of Fitchburg in 1864, 1865 and 1867; in 1873 repre- sented Fitchburg in the general court, and was unanimously renominated the following year, but declined re-election on account of his health; was in the governor's council through the entire admin- istration of Governor Long. In 1884 he was a dele- gate to the Republican national convention. In 1889 and 1890 he represented his district in Congress.

The Wallace Library and Art Building is an en- during monument to Mr. Wallace's interest in edu- cational and literary affairs. In 1881 he purchased a site suitably located on Main street for a public library. Flere he erected a substantial building at a cost of nearly $100,000, and presented it to the city of Fitchburg for a free public library, reading rooms and art galleries. The Wallace Library and Art Building was dedicated July 1, 1885, the exercises being held in the library, Mayor Alonzo Davis pre- siding. In presenting the building Mr. Wallace said : "The best materials of all kinds were selected, the best mechanics employed, and more faithful service could not have been rendered had each man employed been the sole owner of the building. * * * Our best thoughts have been given to have the building adapted to the purposes for which it was intended, and 1 have found pleasure in giving it my personal attention. No pains or expense have been spared to make the building first-class in all respects, and it is nearly or quite fireproof. Cost of building $70,000 ; cost of furniture $2,000; cost of land $12,000; total $84.000.

"In the hands of the city government and under the management of the trustees, I have perfect con- fidence that the building will be well cared for, and, as a home for the Library, Works of Art and Free Reading Rooms it will be of increasing value to our people. With pleasure and the most earnest wish that to many of our people these rooms may prove to be a place of rest and profit, and help make the journey of life more pleasant and useful, I now pre-

sent to you the deed of this property and keys of the building."

The dedicatory address of Governor John D. Long was appropriate, eloquent and impressive. The manuscript is preserved in the Relic Room at the Library. A poem by Mrs. Caroline Mason was read by Ray Greene Huling, principal of the high school. The city has an excellent collection of books and pictures, and the library is growing con- stantly better, owing to additions by gift and pur- chase. The Fitchburg Public Library, which was founded in 1859, is one of the finest institutions of the city since it has had its new home. Among the trustees who have been interested in having the purposes of its donor carried out are Herbert Ingalls Wallace, son of Rodney Wallace, and Ezra S. Stearns, formerly secretary of state of New Hampshire, a distinguished historian and genealogist and a close personal friend of Mr. Wallace.

It seems appropriate here to quote a paragraph from Mr. Stearn's "History of Ashburnham." He wrote there of Mr. Wallace : "Mr. Wallace is courteous and affable in manner and loyal in his friendship. In the reserve of his nature he is re- strained from impetuous demonstration, but, in every social and public duty his friendship, his influence and his assistance are put forth with commanding effect. If his activities are circumscribed by reason and prudence, his conclusions are deliberately formed and founded upon a comprehensive study of the attending facts. In him are combined dili- gence and sagacity, and above all a lofty standard of honor and integrity." He also gave the town of Rindge, New Hampshire, a public library building in 1894.

Mr. Wallacs married, December 1, 1853, Sophia Ingalls, born May 5, 1828, daughter of Thomas and Sophia ( Shurtleff ) Ingalls, of Rindge, New Hamp- shire. She died June 20, 1871, leaving two sons. He married (second ), December 28, 1876, Sophia F. ( Billings) Bailey, of Woodstock, Vermont, born November 1, 1826, daughter of Oel and Sophia W. Billings, of Royalton, Vermont. and widow of Hon. Goldsmith F. Bailey. She died November 9, 1895. He died February 27, 1903. The children of Rod- ney and Sophia ( Ingalls) Wallace were: I. Her- bert Ingalls, born February 17, 1856. 2. George R., born June 29, 1859.

(VII) Herbert Ingalls Wallace, son of Rodney Wallace (6), was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, February 17, 1856. He was educated in the public schools of Fitchburg and at Harvard University, where he was graduated in 1877. He became asso- ciated with his father in business, and since his father's death has been at the head of the Fitchburg Paper Company, and has succeeded his father in the various enterprises with which he was connected. Mr. Wallace is a trustee of the Wallace Library and Art Building, and has taken special pains to gather an excellent musical library for the insti- tution. He married, October 23, 1879, Amy Louise Upton, daughter of John and Lonise (Willis) Up- ton. Their children are: Fred; Rodney, deceased ; Sophia I., Amy L., deceased ; and Robert S.

(V11) George R. Wallace, son of Rodney Wal- lace (6), was born in Fitchburg, June 20, 1859. He was a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. He became associated in his father's business, and since his death has been associated with his brother in the management of the Fitchburg Paper Company, and other con-

CARMI MI. PARKER. Lieutenant James Parker (1). the immigrant ancestor of Carmi M. Parker, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was born in England in 1618. He settled first at Woburn in New England, and is mentioned in the town records as early as 1640. He is on the tax list of 1645. He moved from Woburn to Billerica in 1654, and from there to Chelmsford in 1658. Soon afterward he settled in Groton, where he lived the remainder of his life except for the times the settlers had to leave home and seek refuge from the Indians. He was in command of a company of militia in King Philip's war in 1675-6. He was deputy to the gen- eral court in 1693. He died at Groton in 1701, in his eighty-fourth year.

He married Elizabeth Long, May 23, 1645. She was the daughter of Robert Long, of Charlestown, Massachusetts. He married ( second) Eunice - a widow. The children of James and Elizabeth

Parker were: Elizabeth, born April 12, 1645, at Woburn; Anna, born January 5. 1646-7: John, born January 18, 1648, died young: John, born February 28, 1649; Sarah, born August 29, 1650, died October 15. 1651 ; Joseph, of whom later : James, born April 15. 1652, grantee of Billerica ; killed by the Indians July 24, 1694; married Mary Parker; Josiah, born 1655, married Elizabeth Saxon, of Boston ; Samuel, married Abigail Lakin; Joshua, born March 13, 1658, at Chelmsford. married Abigail Shattuck ; Zachariah, born January 14, 1659, at Chelmsford ; Eleazer, born November 9, 1660, at Groton; Sarah (by wife Eunice ), born December 12, 1697.

(11) Josiah Parker, eighth child of Lieutenant James Parker (1), was born in Groton, Massachu- setts, 1655, and resided there until 1683 or 1684. He was an inn-holder in Woburn in 1693-95. In 1696 he settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he lived for many years. In 1699 he bought part of the homestead of John Jackson in Cambridge, and in 1708 the remainder of it, fronting on Brattle street and Brattle square from Palmer street to Church street, bounded north by the burying ground. He was a prominent man in his day in town and military affairs. He was captain of the Groton com- pany during the Indian wars, and was in com- mand July 21. 1706, when Nathaniel Healy, of New- ton, one of his company, was waylaid and slain; also John Myrick and Ebenezer Seager, who were killed as they were going to meeting on Sunday. He was selectman of Cambridge in 1710. He died there between July 26 and August 6, 1731, when his will was proved. The children of Captain Jo- siah and Elizabeth Parker were: Elizabeth, born August 31, 1679, in Groton; John, born April 13, 168 -; Sarah, born May 1, 1683, married Stephen Coolidge; married (second) Nicholas Fessenden, Jr .; Susanna, married Samuel Gookin, Jr., February 28, 1711; Joshua; William, probably died young ; Ann, married William Warland.

(III) Rev. Thomas Parker, youngest child of Captain Josiah Parker (2), was born in Cambridge, December 7, 1700. baptized December 15. 1700. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1718. He studied theology and in 1720 was ordained as min-

ister at Dracut, where he preached for forty-four years, all the remainder of his life, giving the ut- most satisfaction to his flock. He died March 18, 1765. He was something of a musician and some- times entertained his Indian friends by playing the clarinet for them. This story is told of him. His colored servant, Cæser, who had something of a name as a wit, was fishing through the ice one day when the minister managed to attach a dead rat to one of his fish hooks. When Cæser returned his master asked him what he had caught. "} don't know, sir, but it had a black coat. I guess it was a minister!" The house he lived in was subsequently owned by Colonel Louis Ansart, and later by Daniel Varnum, and was on the site of the present Varnum house.

Mr. Parker was a good man and an efficient minister. On a gravestone in the old burying ground at Dracut on the left bank of the Merri- ' mac river is the following inscription: "Memento mori. Under `this stone is interred the remains of the Revd. Thomas Parker, a gentleman of Shining Mental Powers, adorned with Prudence, Benevol- ence and Curtesie of maners. a warm and Pathetic Preacher of ye Gospel, A most watchful and tender Pastor of ye Church in Dracut, for the space of 44 years. Accomplished with learning-Humane and Divine, and endowed and adorned with ye so- cial virtues and affections-who departed this life March 18th. 1766, in the 65th year of his age."

(IV) Matthew Parker, son of Reverend Thomas Parker (3), was born in Dracut, Massachusetts, about 1730. His father was interested in several grants of land in what is now New Hampshire. The name of Rev. Thomas Parker appears on a petition from the proprietors of Litchfield, now in New Hampshire, as early as 1744. Alexander Parker was on another petition there in 1746. Cap- tain John Parker was representative in the legisla- ture in 1775, and Dr. Jonathan Parker, who gradu- ated from Harvard in 1762, settled in Litchfield. This township was originally part of Dunstable, Mas- sachusetts, was granted October 16, 1673. to William Brenton, afterward governor of New Jersey, and was formerly known as Brenton's Farm. It was incorpor- ated in 1732 as Nottingham, Massachusetts, and in 1734 the northern part became Litchfield, Massachu- setts. After it was decided to be in New Hampshire it was re-incorporated June 5. 1749. The town of Hudson, formerly Nottingham West, was formerly a part of Litchfield. Goffstown, New Hampshire, was also granted to Rev. Thomas Parker and others of Dracut in 1748. Matthew Parker was one of the pioneers at Litchfield about 1750. Among his children, born at Litchfield, was Nathan, of whom later.

(V) Nathan Parker, son of Matthew Parker (4), was born at Litchfield, New Hampshire, Jan- uary 1, 1767. He removed to Merrimack where he had a farm, conducted a hotel and owned a country store.
