CLEMSON The Clemson family dates back to remote antiquity in England. It is a name of the class of Johnson, Williamson, Hanson, Richardson and a host of others originating in the days when men were known by their father's single name. The name is found in the early records in various forms, such as Ralph fil Clemence (meaning Clement's son) ; Roger Clempson, a contraction of the original Clementson, but for many centuries the com- mon form of the name has been Clementson and Clemson, the coat of arms of the principal family being very old. The crest is given by Fairbairn : "An arm, from elbow, ppr. vested, paly gu. and or. cuffed, counterchanged, in hand a palm branch of the first." Apparently the Clemson or Clementson family has not been very numerous.
(I) William Clemson, born about 1763, came from Leicestershire, England, and set- tled at Penn's Mills, Warwickshire, England. He was a farmer and cattle raiser. His farm at Penn's Mills was of considerable area for
an English farm, located some eight miles from Birmingham on the Sutton road towards Litchfield. He died about 1819. He married Susan - Their children : Edward, born 1791, married Elizabeth Children : i. Mary; ii. Charles; William, mentioned be- low; Sarah, Susan, Anna, Elizabeth, Annie, Mary.
(II) William Clemson, son of William Clemson (I), was born at Penn's Mills, War- wickshire, England, October I, 1793, died February 14, 1869. He was educated in the schools at his native town and by his mother, who herself was a school teacher. He learned the trade of wire drawer in the mills of Barron & Webster, and at the age of nineteen, was given his time. He worked for this firm for twelve years, subsequently going to Birming- ham where he was superintendent in a mill of the same firm for about ten years. After working for various concerns he entered the employ of Hughes & Evans at Deritend, S. W. Birmingham, in 1841, and conducted their steel wire business until 1854, when he practi- cally retired from business, removing to Wo- burn, Massachusetts, where he resided in the village of Montvale until 1859. Then he re- turned to his native land and died in the city of Birmingham, England, February 14, 1869. He attended the Church of England and the Episcopal church. In politics he was a Liberal.
He married, in 1819, Jane White, who was born March 4, 1797, and died January 26, 1863, the daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth (Saunders) White, of Castle Bromwich, near Staffordshire.

(III) William Clemson, son of William Clemson (2), was born at Penn's Mills, War- wickshire, England, May 27, 1821. He re- ceived a thorough elementary training in the schools of his native town, but was appren- ticed at the age of fourteen to the wire draw- ing trade in which his father was an expert, and which at that time was one of the most remunerative in all England. He mastered the art of fine wire drawing but was ambiti- ous for a larger career than that promised an English operative or mechanic, and in March, 1844, he left his native land for America. He located first at West Cambridge, Massachu- setts, but later worked for several months at his trade in New York City. Returning to West Cambridge he accepted a position in the saw manufacturing plant of Welch & Griffiths at Arlington, where he was employed during the next four years, leaving this firm to start in business on his own acount. He formed a partnership with Joseph Woodrough, under the firm name of Woodrough & Clemson, to manufacture saws. Both were good mechanics and knew the art of saw making, but their capital was limited to their humble savings from daily wages and at first they had a strug- gle to make headway. The firm was strength- ened financially by the admission of Richard W. Henshaw, and the name became Henshaw, Woodrough & Clemson. From the small shop in West Cambridge, the business was moved in 1852 to Woburn, where it occupied the old factory of the Goodyear Rubber Company. A year later Mr. Woodrough withdrew from the firm and the name became Henshaw & Clem -. son. Mr. Clemson inherited much mechanical skill and had an aptitude for research and in- vention. Many nights, after working in the shop all day, he toiled over his experimental work until after midnight. He was constantly studying, elaborating and developing ideas on
machinery that had suggested themselves to his busy brain. His first invention of practical usefulness was an apparatus for simultane- ously flattening and tempering saws, and after using it in his shop for seven years, he had it patented. Some idea of the value of this de- vice may be gained from the fact that it saves nine-tenths of the labor required by the old method of flattening by hand. Two years later he patented a grinding machine which was equally valuable in economizing labor and also in producing better work. He continued to invent and patent devices and machines for making saws better and more cheaply and for improving the saws themselves. In 1860 his work had become so well and favorably known to the trade that a proposition was made to him to become a member of the firm of E. P. Wheeler and E. M. Madden, the owners of the Mohegan Saw Works at Middletown, New York, after the retirement from the firm of Mr. Bakewell. The offer was accepted and until 1871 the business was continued under the firm name of Wheeler, Madden & Clem- son. Then the business was incorporated under the title of Wheeler, Madden & Clemson Manufacturing Co. When Mr. Madden died his share of the business was bought by Mr. Clemson, who in 1886 turned it. over to his sons, George N. and Richard W. Clemson. Mr. Clemson was modest, unassuming and never sought prominence socially or politically. He was a Republican, but the only office he ever accepted was on the board of trustees of Middletown, where he served the municipality faithfully several years. He died January 12, 1890. He attended the Protestant Episcopal church; was a member of Hoffman Lodge, No. 412, Free Masons, of Middletown.
He married (first) at West Cambridge, August 3, 1844, Amelia Wright. She died in 1885. She was the daughter of Joshua and Margaret Wright, of England. Children: I. Francis William, mentioned below. 2. George Nathan, born June 1, 1854. 3. Maria Amelia, born July 11, 1856, married William W. Tay- lor. 4. Richard Walter, born May 16, 1858, 5. Lillian Louise, married Jesse Bird. The child of William Clemson and his second wife (married February 22, 1887, Esther Smith, daughter of Jacob F. Smith, of Middletown) was: 6. William.
(IV) Francis William Clemson, son of William Clemson (3), was born at Arlington, Massachusetts, formerly West Cambridge, April 30, 1851. He removed with his parents to Woburn when he was a year old. There he attended the common schools until he was

nine years old, then removed with his parents to Middletown, New York, where he attend- ed the public schools until sixteen years of age. He immediately entered the saw fac- tory of his father's firm and learned the busi- ness of manufacturing saws. He left the fac- tory in 1876 and with his brothers, George N. and later Richard W. Clemson, formed the firm of Clemson & Company and bought. the business of Woodrough & Company at Woburn, Massachusetts. This firm continued to make saws until 1885, when he sold his interest to Herbert A. Woodrough and en- tered business on his own account at Win- chester, manufacturing belt and leather split- ting knives. In March, 1891, he returned to Woburn to enter a partnership with Fowle Brothers, whose plant was on Cedar street. The firm name became Fowle Brothers & Clemson and continued prosperously until April, 1898, when Mr. Clemson again re- turned to Winchester and operated his old plant again for about four years. He then returned again to the plant on Cedar street, Woburn, with William C. Bailey in a cor- poration known as the Clemson-Bailey Com- pany, which continued to manufacture goods at that location until September, 1906, when the present brick building on Salem street, ninety feet by thirty feet, was occupied, be- sides a wooden building thirty by one hun- dred and ten feet, two stories in height. This company manufactures with the best possible machinery and facilities, saws, leather split- ting and belt knives. The product finds a market all over the world, large shipments going to South American countries, to Aus- tralia and to the United Kingdom, though the principal business is in New England and the western states.in this country. The pres- ent officers of the company are: President, Florence E. Clemson; secretary, Clarence E. Clemson; treasurer, Francis W. Clemson. The latter is also superintendent of the fac- tory and general manager of the business. He has a beautiful residence on Salem street a short distance from this place of business. He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal church. In politics he is a Republican, but has never cared to hold public office. He was made a member of King Cyrus Lodge of Free Masons, Stoneham; a member of Wo- burn Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, of the Malden Council of Royal and Select Masters at Malden; of Hugh de Payen's Command- ery, Knights Templar, at Melrose.
He married at Newburg, New York, Aug- ust 7, 1871, Elizabeth Eith, who was born in
Germany, December 17, 1850, daughter of Samuel and Francisco Warren Eith. Chil- dren: I. Clarence Eugene, born April 14, 1873, married Rachel Harris Cronin, of Mel- rose; no issue. 2. May Belle, born May 22, 1875, married Albert G. Williams; no chil- dren. 3. Howard E., born December 23, 1877, died July 17, 1880. 4. Florence Eith, born March 29, 1880, unmarried, resides at home with parents.
(V) Belle Clemson, daughter of Francis William Clemson (4), was born in Middle- town, New York, May 22, 1875, married, September 2, 1895, Albert D. Williams, of Woburn, Massachusetts, a native of Rhode Island.
HANSON The Hanson family is traced to an ancient English origin, originally Danish, according to the family traditions. Watson's history of Halifax, England, gives a good account of the early history of the family and the origin of the name. According to this authority the earliest known progenitor of the Hansons was Roger de Rastrick, who lived about 125I and was a man of some importance. He owned land in various places in the county of York, Rastrick being one of his estates. John de Rastrick had a son Henry, who in turn had a son John. In those days when only Christian names were in use, the two Johns of Rastrick were doubtless confused, and in order to distinguish them, the younger John became known as John, Henry's son, shortened to Hen's son, Henson, and finally modified, by the choice of the various spel- lings, into Hanson. As early as 1337. the name was spelled Henson at Halifax, the principal seat of the English family. John Hanson, of this family, went to London, and family historians think he was the father of Thomas Hanson, the emigrant to America.
(I) Thomas Hanson, immigrant ancestor, was born in England, and was among the early settlers of Dover, New Hampshire, in the vicinity of which his descendants have been numerous. He had a grant of land, January II, 1658-59, near Salmon Falls of one hundred acres, bounded by land of Joseph Austin, Nathaniel Twombly, Job Clements and Jeremy Tibbetts. He was admitted a freeman, June 5, 1661, and resided at Cocheco. His will was proved June 27, I686, his wife Mary being executrix. He pro- vided dowries for his daughters when they should reach the age of eighteen. His widow

(V) Aaron Hanson, son of Tobias Han- son (4), was born in or near Dover, about 1740. He settled in Rochester, New Hamp- shire, and was one of its proprietors. He was probably not a Quaker, for he took part in the Revolution, being in 1775 second lieu- tenant in Captain Place's company; Colonel Burnham's regiment. Among his children we have reason to believe was Aaron, the set- tler in Wakefield, New Hampshire.

He had his shop near the center of his native town and was industrious and enter- prising, as well as powerful in physique and skillful as a craftsman. A short time before his death he planned a new shop and had erected the frame, but died before it was com- pleted, at the early age of twenty-seven.

(VIII) Phinehas Graves Hanson, son of Phinehas Graves Hanson (7), was born at Wakefield, New Hampshire, March 24, 1832. He began at an early age to help his father on the farm, attending the district school dur- ing the winter terms until he was nineteen, when he left home and began an apprentice- ship of three years in the carriage manufac- tory of Abel Barrett, of West Cambridge, Massachusetts, and of his uncle, Joel Han- son. He removed to Woburn where he worked at his trade for Oliver Parker for a number of years, and finally bought the busi- ness of his employer. His place of business for a time was on Everett street, later on Union street. His business grew and pros- pered. He was a master of his art and num- bered among his patrons the best families of Woburn and vicinity. In 1862 he decided to remove to Lexington, an adjacent town, where he had his carriage shop for six years. In 1868 he returned to Woburn and entered the employ of John 'Cummings, taking charge of his estate, carrying on the farm, employing a force of forty men in market gardening. After seventeen years in this position he came to the present Hanson farm April 14, 1885, known then as the John Weston place, con- ducting it for Mrs. Weston, his wife's mother. In 1895 he bought the entire property and continued to occupy and conduct the farm until his death. He had an excellent dairy, maintaining some fifty head of cattle, and owning a large and profitable milk route in the vicinity. He was accounted an expert in raising milch cows and judging cattle. He also made a specialty of the culture of straw- berries and early produce. He was well versed in modern methods of agriculture, a constant reader and student. He was a member of several Boston societies and was a leading exhibitor at the various fairs and ex- hibitions, also acted as judge on many occa- sions. He was devoted to his family and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. He was a Unitarian in religion.
