(V)}) Colonel Joab Smith Holt, son of Jonas Holt (6), was born at West Boylston, Massachu- setts, October 25, 1807. On account of sickness in his father's family he went to live with his grand- mother in Holden when he was five years old. After a short time he returned home, but returned again after two years and lived the remainder of his life in Holden. He was educated in the Holden schools. He was a prosperous farmer. He joined the militia in his youth when all the able-bodied young men trained with the state militia. He was ambitious and active in military affairs. He became an en- sign April 13, 1832, and colonel in command of his regiment July 6, 1837. He was equally prominent in public affairs. He was one of the original di- rectors of the Boston, Barre & Gardner Railroad Company, and though the road did not follow the original route that he wished adopted the railroad passed through the town of Holden and added ma- terially to its prosperity and the value of its real estate. In politics he was a Republican and was frequently elected a delegate to the nominating con- ventions of his party. He was selectman of Hol- den for many years and assessor.

When only nine years old he began to drive teams to Worcester for his father, who carried on an extensive business in wood and luni- ber. He worked with his father as long as he lived and then with his brother on the old homestead. He and his brother continued the wood and lumber business their father had established. Mr. Holt re- mained on the homestead until 1897, when he bought his home on Maple street. He was employed as overseer of the state roads by the town of Holden, and continued in the lumber and wood business. Much of his lumber was sold to Howe's Mill at Oakdale and other woodworking plants in neigh- .boring towns ; he cut his lumber from his own wood
lots. He died May 25, 1902. Mr. Holt had the entire confidence and esteem of his neighbors. Though a man of high intelligence, he was modest and quiet, generous with his means, honest in every walk of life, a man whose word was always as good as his bond. He was a leader in the movement for the abolition of railroad crossings at grade. In politics he was a Republican. He was for many years a highway commissioner. He had been twenty years a member of the board of selectmen, and at the time of his death was serving his eighth year as chairman of the board.

At the age of eighteen he and his brother were associated with their father in conducting the farm and they continued together until the father died. For some time Joab Win- throp Holt was in partnership with his brother in the management of the farm, but he finally bought out the other heirs and became the sole owner. About 1895 the buildings were burned. After that the brothers separated their business interests. They had been partners in the wood and lumber business since 1871. Each continued in the same line of business afterward, however, on his own account. Joab W. Holt is engaged also quite extensively in the wholesale sand business, shipping most of his product to Worcester by rail. He is employed by the town of Holden as superintendent of the con- struction of its state roads. It is said that he has the largest holding of real estate in town, having be- tween five hundred and six hundred acres of land, most of it timber land. He has built three houses and owns five in the town. He attends the Holden Baptist Church. In politics he is a Re- publican and has attended many party conventions as delegate.

been an immigrant or more likely a relative of Thomas Collier, who settled in Hingham, Massa- chusetts, in 1635: William Collier, who was one of the "Adventurers" or stockholders in Plymouth colony; or of John Collier. of Watertown and Sud- bury. It is likely that these settlers were all closely related. Joseph Collier was first known as of Hart- ford about 1660. lle lived in Pinefield and in Hartford in 1668. He was proposed for freeman- ship, October, 1671, as a citizen of Hartford. He married Elizabeth Sanford, of Hartford. She was sister of Robert and Zachariah Sanford, who ad- ministered her estate. She died 1695. Joseph died November 16, 1691. Their children: Joseph, born 1658; Mary Phelps, 1659; Sarah, 1673; Elizabeth, 1675; Abel, 1677; John, 1679; Abigail, 1682, married, March 6, 1700-01 ; Susanna, 1684; Ann, 1687.
(II) John Collier, son of Joseph Collier (I), was born in Hartford, 1679. died August 2, 1730. He married Elizabeth Humphries. Their children : Eunice, born November 15, 1793; Elizabeth, April 14, 1700; John, about 1710, see forward; Mary, about 1720; Thankful.
(III) John Collier, son of Jolin Collier (2), was born about 1710 in Connecticut. He died, 1736. leaving an estate valued at three hundred pounds His wife's name was Mary and he probably left several small children, among whom was John, sec forward.
(IV) John Collier, son of John Collier (3), probably, was in Norwich, Connecticut, when a young man. He married, December 12, 1765, Pru- dence Hubbard, who probably came from Middle- town, Connecticut. John Collier was a soldier in the revolution from New Hartford. His description was a farmer by occupation, five feet eight in height, had a light complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. He served in 1780 in the first troop in Colonel Shel- don's Light Dragoons from Middletown, Norwich, Hartford and vicinity. He was a pensioner.
(V) William Collier, son of John Collier (4), was born in Norwich, Connecticut, September 20, 1769, died September 29, 1814. He married, Jan- uary 29, 1791, Jemima Lorimer. Among their chil- dren was Francis Augustus Collier, see forward.
(VI) Francis Augustus Collier, son of William Collier (5), was born January 27, 1803, died July 4, 1882. He married, 1825. Eliza Humes, and they settled in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Their chil- dren, born in Sturbridge, were: William Francis, born November 9, 1824, see forward; Mary Eliza, born January 24, 1826, in Dudley; Henry Nelson, born October 7, 1827; Adelaide Sophronia, born in Sturbridge, October 6, 1837, married, November 21, 1861, Charles E. Parker, of Holden. (See his sketch in this work).
(VII) William Francis Collier, son of Francis Augustus Collier (6), was born in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, November 9, 1824. He was educated in the public schools. He came to Worcester when a young man and for over fifty years was in active business in that city. He learned the trade of ma- chinist and became a silent partner in the firm of Howe & Bigelow, formerly Howe & Company (J. W. Howe and Joseph K. Barton), manufacturers of wire goods. Mr. Barton was also a silent partner. The business was incorporated in 1874 with a capital of fifty thousand dollars as the National Manu- facturing Company, and Mr. Collier, who was a stockholder. became the superintendent. a position he held until he retired from business in 1895. The officers of the company then were: President, Jonah
H. Bigelow; treasurer, William B. Hill. Among the specialties of that time were flower stands, trellises, baskets of wire, wire cloth window screens and screen doors, a patent force pump for fire ex- tinguishers. The extent and variety of the wire goods business at present, as illustrated by the pro- duction of this concern, defy description. There seems to be no limit to the number of useful and ornamental devices to be made of wire. The factory at first was at the corner of Main and Thomas streets, later at the corner of School and Union streets. The present building on Union street, was erected on a lot bought of Stephen Salisbury. Mr. Collier was a director of the company and to his practical knowledge of manufacturing, his ingenuity in designing, his understanding of the popular mind and the foresight to anticipate the public needs in household utensils and other goods, had much to do with the success of the business, of which he was the superintendent. He was the inventor of many of the articles manufactured by the company. He was constantly contriving new things or new methods of making goods. At the time of his death he seemed as mnuch interested in the business as when he was a young man. Although he retired from his responsible duties in the business in 1895, he was financially in- terested as a stockholder and director after his re- tirement. He died July 25, 1901, at his residence, 23 Kendall street, Worcester. Mr. Collier was active in the Second Advent Church and contributed fre- quently to the newspapers of that denomination.
He married Susan Barstow, daughter of Calvin Barstow (see Barstow family herewith). She died on Thanksgiving Day, 1900. Their children: George W., born in Worcester, 1866, in business in New York city, married Addie Phelps, of Westfield, Massachusetts; Frederick W., born in Worcester, 1870, see forward.
(VH]) Frederick W. Collier, son of William Francis Collier (7), was born in Worcester, 1870. He attended the public schools of Worcester and was graduated from the high school in the class of 1888, with honors. He took the mechanical engi- neering course in the Worcester Polytechnic Insti- tute and was graduated with the degree of M. E. in 1892. He was president of his class. He started in business on his own account soon afterward at 86 Foster street, manufacturing laundry machinery of his own patents. He took out a dozen patents in ten years on this kind of machinery. After his father's death, he had his father's interests in the National Manufacturing Company to look after, and as the result of a factional contest among the stockholders he was elected president and gave up his private business to take charge of the company, in 1905. He had a thorough knowledge of the wire goods business and the mechanical skill and in- ventive ability necessary to make progress in this peculiar line of manufacturing. He has acquired a large part of the stock of the company since getting control. and has increased the business from thirty to forty per cent. in the past two years. In this remarkable growth of the business the credit fairly belongs to the head of the company, who has shown business ability of a high order as well as an expert knowledge of the mechanical part of the business. The company has been making rapid progress toward the front rank of wire goods man- ufacturers of the country. In recent years the com- pany has made plain and fancy office railings, grilles, elevator enclosures and window guards, wire cloths and nettings, plain and galvanized wrought iron

guards of all kinds, window and door screens, screen cloth, wrought iron wire wardrobes, and a great va- riety of household articles. Mr. Collier married May L. Moore, of Boston, daughter of Charles and Mary (Brown) Moore, of Nova Scotia.

RUSSELL CLARK CUNNINGHAM. The Cunningham family to which Russell Clark Cun- ningham, of Millbury, belonged, originated in Scot- land, emigrated to Ireland to take possession of large grants of land about 1610. The Cunning- hams belonged in Ayrshire, where they have been the leading family since about A. D. 1200. They held the earldoms of Carrick and Glencairn and the Lordship of Cuninghame. Alexander Cuning- hame was created Lord Cuninghame of Kilmaurs in Ayrshire in 1450 and Earl of Glencairn in 1488. Between 1571 and 1700 no less than thirty-two Cunninghams were members of the Scottish parlia- ment. The Cunninghams were originally of Anglo- Norman stock, settling in Cuninghame in the twelfth century under High Constable Hugh de Morville, who had enormous grants of land from David I, who married an English countess and ascended the Scotch throne in 1124.
The Protestant King James settled the province of Ulster in the north of Ireland with Scotch and .English nobles and yeomen. In the grants of land from 1610 to 1630 we find the Cunninghams in the county of Donegal. Parish Portlough, where twelve thousand acres were escheated and granted again to the Scotch settlers. It was part of the Barony of Raphoe. The Cunninghams were of the border clan of Dumfries and Kirkcudbright. They came from South Ayrshire, Scotland, to Donegal, Ireland.
One thousand acres were granted to John Cun- ningham, of Crawford, Ayr-hire. In 1611 he was a resident on his grant with one British family: was reported to be building a barn; had a plow of garrons and thirty head of cattle.
Sir James Cunningham, the Laird of Glangarn- ocke, Ayrshire, was given two thousand acres. He took possession in 1611, but returned to Scotland, leaving in charge Robert Mounge, his agent. He had built one Irish barn of coples; had forty-four head of cattle; one plow of garrons; some tillage last barvest ; three British families on the estate were preparing to build houses and three years later
360
WORCESTER COUNTY
there was a small village of twelve houses with British tenants besides a small house and barn for the owner; reported forty men able to bear arms.
James Cunningham, Esq., also of Glangarnocke, Ayrshire, received one thousand acres of land, set- #led in 1610, but returned to Scotland, leaving six servants to keep the cows; preparations made for building in 1611; had forty-two men able to bear arins in 1013 and a long list of tenants.
Alexander Cunningham, Gentleman, of Powton Elder, Sorbie, Wigtonshire, Scotland, had one thousand acres and also bought the grant of John Murray of one thousand acres at Baylach in Done- gal about 1620.
Cnthbert Cunningham had a large grant and in 1611 was living in Ireland; was building a "bawn" ; had two families of British with him; had a house of coples and was preparing to "Re-edify" the castle of Coole McEctream. He was also the fortunate possessor of a plow of garrons. In 1613 he reported forty-two men able to bear arms on his estate.
Rev. Robert Cunningham. a non-conforming minister, was preaching in Ireland, at Holywood Dorn, in 1615, and was the second Protestant inin- ister in Ireland. He was in the presbytery in 1047. Rev. Hugh Cunningham, who was settled at Ray, was one of the five Presbyterian ministers who formed the first presbytery in Ireland in 1646.
There were Cunninghams also among the ten- ants of the grantees, doubtless relatives. Their descendants in the Ulster province have been very numerous and influential.
There were at least four Cunninghams in the famous siege of Londonderry. Two of the thirteen famous "Prentice Boys of Derry" who first locked the city gate when the attacking Irish were only sixty yards away were Alexander and John Cun- ningham. It was James Cunningham who discov- ered in July, 1689, when the food was entirely ex- hausted in the besieged city, the plan for making pan cakes of starch, mixed with tallow. This re- markable culinary product was reported as effective medicine for the sick as well as food for the stary- ing. The invention permitted the besieged city to hold ont another week and saved them from sur- render. James, John and Michael Cunningham were among the signers of the address sent by the survivors of the siege to King William of Orange.
(I) Robert Cunningham, the immigrant ancestor , of Russell Clark Cunningham, of Millbury, was born in the north of Ireland in 1677, and he was a young boy when the siege of Londonderry took placc. He left Ireland either just before the first ship-load of Scotch-Irish came to New England in 1718 or possibly was one of them. He settled with his family in Boston and lived there until 1732, when he came to Spencer, Worcester county, and settled. Ile and Archibald Lamond bought land of Colonel Joshua Lane, September 29, 1731, and he had the southern part of lot No. 18 for a homestead. Nathaniel Cunningham, a wealthy merchant of Boston, who bought lots Nos. 24 and 36 about the same time was doubtless a connection of Robert. He built what was for his day a mag- nificent house, and two houses which he rented. Robert Cunningham died at Spencer May 13, 1766. aged eighty-nine years.
Ilis children: John, born in Ireland, see for- ward; Hugh, married Elizabeth Scott, December 2, 1742; resided on the Cunningham homestead ;
died 1754; had sons, John and Nathaniel; Robert, Jr., died at Barre, Massachusetts ; James, settled in Rutland, came to New England in 1737, died February 20, 1786, aged seventy-three years; wife Mary died December 29, 1824.
(II) John Cunningham, son of Robert Cun- ningham (I), was born in Ulster, Ireland, about 1700. He came with his father to Spencer about 1732 and settled there. He married Ann Sinclair, March 22, 1739. He added lots Nos. 10 and 14 to the paternal estate which he inherited, amounting in all to five hundred acres. He was a man of sound judgment, unimpeachable moral character, frequently honored with offices of trust in the town and prominent in the church. He died February 9, 1789, aged eighty years; his wife November 3, 1775, aged sixty-three years.

(III) Robert Cunningham, Jr., son of Robert Cunningham (2), was born in Spencer, Massachu- setts, March 15, 1740. He inherited the Cunning- ham homestead. and lived all his active life in Spencer. He was a soldier in the revolution for seven years. He was in Captain Reuben Butter- field's company in 1776-77, in Captain Sargent's company of guards in 1779 at Boston, in Captain Lamson Buckminster's company, Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Peirce's regiment. He was at Tiverton, Rhode Island, in 1779. He married Martha Blair, of Warren.
