HORN Robert Horn or Horne was orig- inally from Flanders, according to Temple's History of Framingham, Massachusetts, where he settled before 1725. As many of the Framingham settlers at this period were from Salem and vicinity it may be presumed, however, that he was related to the Hornes or Ornes of Salem. We find that Robert Horn was a soldier in Colonel John Wheelwright's command at York, Maine, No- vember 27, 1722, and it is probable that he came directly afterward to Marlborough, where he lived a short time before settling in the ad- joining town of Framingham. Robert Horn married, in 1723, Elizabeth Maynard, daugh- ter of Simon and Hannah Maynard. She was born September 26, 1698, and died March 16, 1766. Her grandfather, John Maynard, was one of the original petitioners of the town of Marlborough, being of Sudbury as early as 1639; married, April 5, 1648, Mary Gates. Horne died at Southborough, September 27, 1760. Their only known child : Robert, born at Marlborough, August 6, 1726.
(II) Robert Horn, son of Robert Horn, (I), was born at Marlborough, August 6, 1726, died at Southborough, May 3, 1763. He had a large farm at Southborough, where he married, No- vember 1, 1749, Thankful Moore, daughter of Captain Samuel Moore, of Framingham. Chil- dren : I.

(V) Samuel Horn, son of Windsor Horn (4) was born in Southborough, December 30, 1806, according to the town records, but the hour of birth made the day doubtful and the family Bible record has it December 31. In nis early youth he worked on his father's farm, but when thirteen years old he began to work for Colonel Dexter Fay who had two large farms and a general store at Southborough, and raised cattle for the Brighton market. His schooling was limited, but he made the most of erly all the books that came his way. During the nine years spent in the employ of Colonel Fay, Mr. Horn received an excellent business training and was well prepared to enter busi- ness on his own account. When he was twen- ty-two he decided to leave his native town and strike out in new fields. He sought work first in Providence, whither he traveled on foot. Failing there, he returned to his native town, but soon started out again, spent a night at Chelmsford, and stopped at Lowell where, af- ter a long search for work he was finally suc- cessful in his quest. He was employed by Orin Nichols, a chandler. He was so apt and enterprising that after two years he was admit- ted to partnership. The place of business was on Tyler street. The firm manufactured can- dles, tallow and soap and also had dealings in hides, etc. Mr. Horn continued in this busi- ness for nearly sixty years, retiring, after a very long, honorable and entirely successful career, in 1886. He began business in 1828,

only two years after the incorporation of the town of Lowell and continued active until about a week before his death, a business car- eer of seventy years in Lowell. He was in more senses than one a founder of that city. He was one of the founders of the Wamesit Na- tional Bank in 1853 and one of the directors until his death, acknowledged to be one of the soundest and most far-sighted financiers ever connected with the bank, always a leading fac- tor in its affairs during his life. In 1871 he was one of the founders of the Merrimack River Savings Bank and a trustee from the first until his death.
"In business," said his friend, Rev. John M. Green, D. D., at his funeral, "he was perfectly honest and upright ; a 'square man,' as such as he is sometimes called. He never took advan- tage of the weak and ignorant. He never robbed the fatherless and widows. He aimed to be just and righteous, giving every man his ·due. He managed his own business with pru- dence and sagacity. He was industrious. He did not think any business would be a success unless industry and economy were elements in it. He was not afraid of work himself. He felt that what our city needs is the element of care- ful business management in all its affairs. Mr. Horn was a successful business man in thetru- est sense. He did not seek to accumulate a for- tune in a day or a year ; he was not looking for- ward to the time when he could fold his hands in idleness or live in luxury, having nothing to do; but business was to him a life-long occu- pation. He loved to engage in it, and he so did it that there was no need to give soothing syrup to his conscience, when he lay down at night to sleep. Mr. Horn was also a public- spirited man. He did not live for self, but he aimed to make his city and the world better for his having lived in it." For several years in the early history of the city he was first a fireman, then an assistant engineer in the fire department and he never lost his interest in the department and in the firemen them- selves. He was a Whig in early life, later a Republican. He was a member of the com- mon council of Lowell in 1839, but never cared for public office. He did his duty at the polls and used his influence for the best at elections. He was active in movements against gambling and in- temperance. He was generous to the poor and unfortunate. He was an earnest friend of the public schools and aided in the development of the present system, believing firmly that com- pulsory education is the foundation of good citizenship. During his first years in Lowell
he attended the Appleton Street (now Eliot) . Congregational Church, but in 1835 left it to become a Unitarian. Yet occasionally he at- tended the Orthodox Church where he had many friends. He had one of the most at- tractive homes in the city. He laid out the grounds, superintended the building of his house and planted the trees and shrubs. Mr. Green said: "It was his home in the fullest sense of the word. He did not belong to any of the lodges or orders of our city. He had no objection to those institutions for those who felt the need of them. His home was his sacred retreat from the cares and anxieties of business, and the place where he found society, comfort, sympathy, rest.
During all these subsequent forty years (af- ter the death of his wife), he has been living to make his home happy for his children, and to hallow the memory of her who was by death taken from him. We who are left shall miss his ever genial and inspiring presence. He was a conspicuous personage among us- dignified in his bearing, courteous in his man- ners, active in his habits, remarkably well pre- served for one of his age, walking, at the age of ninety-one years, our streets unattended, punctual at the places of business, always kind and cordial, the best of company for young or old. He had a fund of anecdote, and could both tell and relish a good story. He never said aught against anyone, and none in his presence felt like airing the infirmities and faults of others. His presence lifted one above all that is mean or low. I have had many pleas- ant hours with him, and all my recollections of him fill me with joy and delight. There was a sweetness about his disposition which was re- markable; none of the moroseness and fault- finding which sometimes mar the spirit of the aged. He took a cheerful, hopeful view of everything and if he had sorrows he did not obtrude them upon others." He died April 15, 1898.
He married, in 1835, Hannah T. Harper, of Sanbornton, New Hampshire. She was born January 10, 1813, and died June 13, 1857. Children : I. Emma J., born June 16, 1837. 2. Alfred S., born April 13, 1842, mentioned below. 3. Isabelle P., born June 1, 1844.
(VI) Alfred S. Horn, son of Samuel Horn (5), was born in Lowell, April 13, 1842. He received his education in the public schools of Lowell and in Boscawen and then entered his father's office anl learned the business. He be- came associated in business with his father, in the' manufacture of candles, tallow, soap, etc., and finally became the manager of the busi-

ness. After his father's death he continued the business until a few years ago, when, on ac- count of his health, he retired. Mr. Horn has had a very successful business career and had much to do with the success of the firm in later years. He has a handsome residence at 1148 Middlesex street, Lowell, where he lives quiet- ly. He is a member of no clubs nor secret or- ders. In politics he has been active but never in his own interests. In religion he is a Uni- tarian. Mr. Horn is counted among the most upright, sagacious and substantial citizens of Lowell. He married, October 2, 1867, Ara- bella Churchill, daughter of Thomas Churchill, of Lawrence, Massachusetts. She was born in Newmarket, New Hampshire. Children : I. Edward A., born August 7, 1872; died June 20, 1890. 2. Samuel C., born August 17, 1878, mentioned below.
(VII) Samuel C. Horn, son of Alfred S. Horn (6), was born in Lowell, August 17, 1878. He was educated in the public and high schools of his native city. He began his business career in the office of L. R. J. and W. H. Varnum. He has taken a prominent position in the financial and business world, and has won the respect and confidence of his townsmen. In politics he is a Republican, in religion a Congregationalist, and attends the Trinitarian Congregational Church. He re- sides with his father in the family mansion at II48 Middlesex street, Lowell. He married, June 28, 1900, Grace Edna Varnum, daughter of Leavitt, R. J. and Elizabeth (Clark) Var- num, of Lowell. Her father is living. They have had one child, Varnum C. Horn, born May 24, 1905, died September 9, 1905.
STEVENS John Stevens, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England in 1605. He came from Cav- ersham (or Gonsham), Oxfordshire, England, in the ship "Confidence," sailing in April, 1637, from Southampton. Caversham is in the southern part of Oxford near Reading in Berkshire. He gave his age at that time as thirty-one. He settled first in New- bury and was admitted a freeman M'ay 18, 1642. He removed to Andover. He was ser- geant of a military company in Andover and served on a committee with Henry Short, of Newbury, and Joseph Jewett, of Rowley, to decide the boundary line then in dispute be- tween Haverhill and Salisbury, appointed by the general court in 1654. In 1681 his son John was also a proprietor of Andover. He was a man of note and substance. His name
appears often in the town and court records. He died April 11, 1662. His gravestone in the old yard at Andover is quaintly carved and ornamented but bears no eulogy or text. It bears this inscription : "Here lyes buried the Body of Mr. John Stevens who deceased ye II Day of April 1662 in ye 57 Year of his age." It is the only gravestone erected to the memory of a first settler. If others were erected, the stones have been destroyed or buried. His wife Elizabeth was appointed ad -- ministratrix June 24, 1662. She testified June 16, 1673, that she was sixty years old in a case, concerning Samuel Parker, son of her brother, Joseph Parker, of Andover, and presumably her maiden name was Parker, though the word brother was used for broth- er-in-law, etc. She died May 1, 1694, aged eighty-one years. Her will dated October 21, 1687, with codicil added September 7, 1691, bequeathed to her children John, Timothy, Nathan, Ephraim, Joseph, Benjamin, Eliza- beth Woodman, Mary Barker and their chil- dren.

pedition and took part in the capture of Louis- burg. With others of this army he petitioned for a grant of land for services November 22, 1751, and received land in the province of Maine. He was a prominent man in his day ; selectman in 1742, town treasurer from 1721 to 1729, and from 1733 to 1734. He married Dorothy Fry, March, 1712. Children : I James, mentioned below. 2. Joseph. 3.

(V) Jonathan Stevens, son of James Stev- ens (4), was born in 1747 in Andover, died April 13, 1834, aged eighty-seven years. He was a soldier in the Andover company and took part in the battle of Bunker Hill. On the anniversary of that battle he invariably in- vited his comrades in the fight and entertained them at his home with hearty old-fashioned hospitality while the old veterans fought their battles over again. He was also at the battle of Ticonderoga, and a letter to his sister dated at Pawlet, October 1, 1777, is published in the history of Andover (page 377). He married, December 15, 1773. Susanna Bragg. Their children : I. Captain Nathaniel, born 1786, mentioned below.
(VI) Captain Nathaniel Stevens. son of Jonathan Stevens (5), was born in 1786 and died March 7, 1865. aged seventy-eight years. He was educated at Franklin Academy. Af- ter leaving school he took a sea voyage before the mast for the sake of his health and the experience. He was a lieutenant in the War of 1812 and later rose to the command of his company. He became the owner of a general store at North Andover and became a very successful trader. The example and en- couragement of his father-in-law. Moses Hill, started him in the manufacturing business in which he made a for- tune. In 1813 he engaged James Scholfield to run a mill, and entering partnership with Dr. Joseph Kittridge and Josiah Monroe. he be- gan in a mill that he built on the site of the
first saw mill on Cochichawick. It was of wood and has been in use constantly ever since, though rebuilt, parts at a time, until the walls have gradually become brick instead of wood. By perseverance and energy Mr. Stevens soon mastered the business, in all its details, and was capable of managing it with- out assistance. He decided to give up the manufacture of broadcloth, in which he ex- perimented at first, because of the difficulty of making the goods and the uncertainty of profit and devoted his attention solely to the production of flannels. In 1828 and 1831 he bought out his partners and took entire charge of the mill and business. He was warned by well-meaning friends that he would lose his time and money. Abbott Lawrence, the im- porter, especially warned him that he could not compete with the British manufacturers. "Take my advice," said he one day, when Mr. Stevens carried a load of flannels to Boston, "Sell out your mill and go into some other business." "Never," replied Mr. Stevens, "as long as I can get water to turn my mill wheel." Captain Stevens became one of the richest and most respected and influential manufacturers of the county, carrying on the business for fifty years with the utmost suc- cess and prosperity. His son, Moses T. Stevens bought the Marland Mills at Andover in 1879 and connected these and the Haverhill Mills with the mill at North Andover by tele- phone. The old Stevens Mill at North An- dover employs some eighty-five hands and uses some three hundred thousand pounds of wool annually. Moses T. Stevens gave the town hall to the town of North An- dover in connection with the Johnson high school. Nathaniel Stevens was a member of the Merrimac Power Association. He was a member of various societies. He was a man of unusual ability and great force of character. He married, November 6, 1815, Harriet Hale, daughter of Moses Hale, of Chelmsford, a pioneer manufacturer. Chil- dren : 1. Henry H. 2. Charles A., born 1816, mentioned below. 3.

moved to Ware, Massachusetts, and began to manufacture woolens. The firm prospered for ten years, then dissolved and each of the partners continued in business alone, both be- ing remarkably successful. Mr. Gilbert died in 1868. Charles A. Stevens married, April 20, 1842, Maria Tyler, daughter of Jonathan Tyler. He was a man of stalwart presence, fresh complexion, genial disposition and man- ners, and was, as a biographer puts it, "one of nature's noblemen." He was a Republican, active in politics ; and represented his district in Congress and for many years represented his district in the governor's council. Chil- dren : I. Jonathan Tyler, born December 20, 1844, mentioned below. 2. Charles E. 3. Julia M.
(VIII) Jonathan Tyler Stevens, son of Charles A. Stevens (7), was born in Ware, December 20, 1844. He was brought up in Ware, educated there in the public schools and in Mr. Woodbridge's school at Auburn- dale, and began his business career with his father in the woolen mills at Ware. In the winter of 1864-65, he and his father made a visit to the Army of the Potomac in front of Petersburg, and both father and son were ac- tive in their support of the Union cause. In 1875 he removed to Lowell, Massachusetts, and assumed charge of the estate of his grandfather, Jonathan Tyler, one of the heav- iest taxpayers of that city, and in this duty and the care of his own property found occu- pation for the remainder of his life. He was interested in municipal and national affairs. He served the city of Lowell in the common council, and in 1881-82 represented his district in the general court, serving efficiently on im- portant committees. He was active in the Republican party and often served as delegate to nominating conventions. He was four times elected vice-president of the Massachu- setts Republican Club. He was an active member and generous supporter of the First Unitarian Church of Lowell. He was a mem- ber of the New England Historic Genealogical Society elected in 1894. He was interested in early American history and especially in the genealogy of his family. He was a member of the Massachusetts Sons of the Revolution. "He was a sincere, straightforward, manly man, cordial and kindly in disposition, frank and unaffected in demeanor and commanded the respect and friendship of all who knew him." "His tastes were simple and refined and his chief pleasure was in the pleasure which others had. He loved his children, and did everything a father could to make it pleasant i-6
for them." He died in Lowell, March 13, 1902.
He married, December 3, 1873, Alice Co- burn, daughter of Charles B. Coburn, of Low- ell, a descendant of Edward Coburn, of Con- cord, a pioneer in 1636, whose descendants have been very numerous in Dracut and vi- cinity. His widow lives in the homestead in Lowell. She is a member of the local chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution, of the First Unitarian Church, and is highly es- teemed by many friends. Children : I. Tyler A., married Grace Buck. 2. Julia W., resides at home. 3. Maria, married William H. Fox : Children: Lorenzo, Richard, Madeline Fox. 4. Charles A., resides at home. 5. Oliver, re- sides at home.
William Thompson, immi- THOMPSON grant ancestor of this fam- ily, was doubtless born in England about 1630. He came to America before 1656, when he received a grant of land at Dover, New Hampshire. He had land laid out to him there March 17, 1658-59, "beyond Cocheco," "log swamp." His son, John Thompson, of Dover, sold fifty acres of this Dover grant November 8, 1715. William Thompson himself appears to have settled, however, in Kittery, where October 15, 1656, he bought a tract of land of John White a short way below the mouth of Sturgeon creek. Kittery is now in the state of Maine. John White appears to have been his father-in-law. In 1659 Thompson was prosecuted in the York court for "rebellion against his father and mother-in-law" (probably) John White and wife) and was bound over in the sum of twenty pounds to be "of good behavior to- wards all men, especially towards his father and mother." Thompson died 1676; his es- tate was appraised June 22 of that year. The inventory aggregated fifty-two pounds eigh- teen shillings. He had twenty-three acres of land, a house and orchard at Kittery; fifty acres at Dover, which he gave to his sons Robert and William, and to John White. His wife died before. Their children: I. John, born 1659; married Sarah Woodman, of Oys- ter River. 2. William, born 1661 ; lived with Richard Otis. 3. Robert, born 1664. 4. James, born 1666, mentioned below. 5. Alex- ander, born 1671; married Anna Curtis, daughter of Thomas Curtis. 6. Judith, born 1675. The ages of the children are given in the probate papers, 1677.
(II) James Thompson, son of William

Thompson (I), was born at Kittery, 1666, and was eleven years of age when his guardian was appointed in 1677. He was married by Rev. John Pike in Dover, March 3, 1700, to Elizabeth Frye, daughter of Adrian Frye. James was a tailor by trade. In 1684 he and his brother John Thompson conveyed the homestead to Francis Allen. John was ad- ministrator, and in some of his papers refers to James as "lame and impotent," doubtless meaning that he had lost one leg, or had crippled it. James seems to have prospered later. He removed to York, Maine, and Feburary I, 1709-10, sold land granted to him when he was in Kittery in 1694 and 1699. A tract of land was sold out to him at York, October 13, 1717, in addition to the tract where he then lived on both sides of the highway from York bridge to Berwick, which land he had purchased of his brother Alexander Thompson for forty acres, January 4, 1713. Again James removed with his family to New Mead- ows, Brunswick, Maine, in 1727. Children : I. Judith, married, July 1, 1724, John Smith, of York. 2.
