He attended the district school there until he was seventeen years old, during the winter terms, and worked with his father on the farm at other seasons. When he was eighteen years old he removed with his par- ents to Milford, New Hampshire, where a few years later he bought a farm of one hundred and thirty acres about three miles from the center of the village, and located on the bank of the Souhegan river. He became a pros- perous farmer. In addition to general farm- ing he raised hops extensively and carried on some business in lumber. The timber and wood that he cut in Milford he hauled to

(VIII) Rufus Pierce Crosby, son of Rufus Crosby (7), was born in Milford, New Hamp- shire, September 28, 1829. He received his education in the district schools during the winter months, until he was eighteen years old, helping his father on the farm at other seasons. At the age of twenty years he left
home and entered the employ of his uncle, Sylvester Crosby, of Lowell, Massachusetts, on his farm. Subsequently he returned to his home, but stayed only a short time. He went to work in the patent leather manufactory of Robert Ames at Roxbury, now Boston, Massachusetts, and learned the trade, remain- ing some three years and a half. In 1854 he came to Woburn to enter the employ of Cyrus Cummings, who was also a patent leather manufacturer. The patent leather business at that time was in the experimental stages and after a year the business at Woburn was abandoned, and Mr. Crosby bought the milk route of Frank Cutter, living at Cummings- ville, in Woburn. Mr. Crosby was very success- ful in the milk business, and for a period of thirty-one years had a very large and prosper- ous business. He sold it in 1886 to Charles Cummings and retired, and since then has not engaged in active business. In 1872 Mr. Crosby built his present residence at 85 Pleas- ant street. Mr. Crosby is a typical self-made man. Depending upon his own resources, he made a successful struggle for a position in the business world and acquired a competence in middle life. By his industry and activity in early life, he fairly earned the years of leisure he has enjoyed since his retirement. His amiable disposition and good nature make him a friend of all, and few men are better known or more generally esteemed. He attends the Woburn Congregational church. In politics he is a Republican.
He married, December 1, 1854, at Rox- bury, Masachusetts, Mary E. Sherborn, who was born January 15, 1827, at Barrington, New Hampshire, and died at Woburn, March 24, 1905, daughter of John Sherborn.

When quite young he went to work in a woolen factory at North Dighton, where his father was superintendent, and soon after he reached his majority removed to North Brookfield, where March 20, 1820, he was married to Mary, daughter of Reuben and Hannah (Atwood) Gilbert, of North Brookfield, and their children were: I. Will- iam Gilbert, born January 20, 1821, died Oc- tober 8, 1838. 2. Hannah Rebecca, born April 28, 1823, died November 17, 1845; was mar- ried September 14, 1841, to Lewis R.

Benjamin Augustus Tripp, son of William Wilbur and Mary (Gilbert) Tripp, was born at North Brookfield, Massachusetts, June 7, 1830. In 1832 his parents removed to West Brookfield, where he attended the public. school until he was nine years old. He re- moved with his parents to Warren, Massa- chusetts, in 1839, where he learned the trade of shoemaker with his father, and he was a faithful apprentice, thoroughly mastering the trade. His father died in 1845, and he took the little shop in his own charge and con- tinued the business up to 1850. In that year he went to Grafton, Massachusetts, to take a position in the large shoemaking shop of Jonathan Warren, and he worked at his trade in this shop 1850-52. In 1852 he returned to Warren and resumed work in the little shop on the home place, continuing to make shoes up to 1857, when he removed to New York City to work at shoemaking for James Mc- Master on new and improved shoe machines. His work was so satisfactory that within five months after he took up the work on the machine he was made superintendent of the shop, and he remained with the concern for one and one-half years. The panic of 1857 was felt the following year in the shoe indus- try, and the house of James McMaster failed, and Mr. Tripp returned to Warren where he worked on the farm about one year. His next venture was a trip to New Orleans, where his reputation as a skilled workman had preceded him, and the New Orleans Boot & Shoe Company secured his services as superintend- ent of their factory, then in course of con- struction. He set up the new machinery that the company had purchased, and he demon- strated its working to the public with entire satisfaction to the stockholders, directors and officers of the company, and to the great edification of the public, to whom making shoes by machinery was a novelty. After the
158

factory was in full working condition, and men had been trained to take his place, he returned home, but he was summoned back by the company who offered him a permanent position at a largely advanced salary to super- intend the factory, and he remained up to 1861, when the breaking out of the Civil war closed the ports of the southern states, and he was obliged to seek for suitable leather in the southern tanneries, and in his travels for this purpose visited all the seceded states, and secured a very thorough knowledge of the political condition of affairs. As he foresaw. a long and desperate struggle with uncertain results, he determined to return to his home and he made his way through the closely guarded southern lines, and in 1861 again took up work in his own shop. In 1864 he was offered a partnership by William P. Rams- dell, and the firm of Ramsdell & Tripp did a thriving business up to the close of 1869 as shoe manufacturers.
He represented his district in the general court of Massachusetts in 1870, and in 1871 he, with Asahel Fairbanks and his son, ex- Senator Wilson H. Fairbanks, as partners, began the manufacture of boots and shoes under the firm name of B. A. Tripp & Com- pany. This concern continued for eight. years, and in 1879 Frank Hazelwood with Silas Potter, of Boston, bought out the Fair- banks interest, and became partners, and the business was continued two years under the firm name of Tripp & Hazelwood. In 1881 Cutter Moore and others, of Warren, bought out the interest of Frank Hazelwood, and the corporation of Tripp & Moore Boot and Shoe Company was formed under the laws of the state of Massachusetts, with Cutter Moore as president, and Mr. Tripp as treasurer, secretary and business manager. The com- pany did a successful business up to Decem- ber, 1884, and it was then dissolved by mu- tual consent. In 1885 Mr. Tripp removed from Warren to Woburn, and purchased the undertaking business then carried on by L. Houghton Allen, and Mr. Tripp continued the business at the old stand on Montvale avenue up to August, 1898, when he purchased land on Prospect street and removed the build- ings to the new lot, and business continued to increase until he became the leading funeral director of the city and vicinity. He also conducted a profitable blacksmithing business from 1894. His son, Charles E. Tripp, was admitted as a partner in the busi- ness in 1872, the firm becoming B. A. & C. E. Tripp.
Benjamin A. Tripp was married April 2, 1851, to Ruth Maria, daughter of Perley and Hannah (Reed) Damon, of Warren, and their children were: I. Charles Edgar, born in Warren, December 30, 1851, who became his father's partner on reaching his majority. He was married December 2, 1872, to Abbie Jane Day, of Worcester, Massachusetts, and their son, George Edward Tripp, was born No- vember 28, 1872, was married October 2, 1895, to Elizabeth M. Fountain, of Woburn, and their daughter, Blanch Evelyn, was born July 9, 1896. Mrs. Charles Edgar Tripp died, and Mr. Tripp was married (second), Decem- ber 30, 1874, Flora Mandella, daughter of John and Mary Ann (Winch) Howard, of Upton, Massachusetts, and their children were: Leon Benjamin, born April 19, 1877, died July 29, 1877 ; Angie May, born July 4, 1884, married, June 20, 1896, Almon E. Richardson, of Wo- burn. 2. Edward Herbert, born October I, 1854, was married May 31, 1877, to Emma L. Newton, of Marlboro, Massachusetts, and their children were: Abbie Ruth, born Janu- ary 27, 1879, died May 14, 1896; Herbert Newton, born July 12, 1882, died August 9, 1888, and Augustus Benjamin, born Decem- ber II, 1886.
Mr. Benjamin A. Tripp joined the Congre- gational church at Warren, Massachusetts, in 1860, and served as deacon of the church at Warren for about eighteen years. His public policy in the affairs of government was . formed in the platform of the Republican party, and he was a delegate for that party to numerous county and state conventions, and in Warren his party elected him selectman for three years, and highway commissioner.
Edmund Gustin, the progenitor GUSTIN of this family, lived at St. Ouens, Isle of Jersey. He mar- ried there April 25, 1638, Esther Le Rossig- nol. The homestead at .St. Ouens was sold by their son in 1677 to John Brock, of Read- ing, Massachusetts. The family name is something of a puzzle, however. The son, who will be known in this sketch as John Gustin (I), was originally designated August- ine Jean in the records. Savage implies that the name should have been Jean or John Augustine, and it certainy took that form after its owner came to America. In a few years it was shortened to Gustine, and eventu- ally most of the family clipt off the terminal also, making it Gustin. Esther, the mother of Jean, had a brother, M. Augustine Rossig-

nol, of St. Ouens, and it is presumed that both Jean and Augustine were given names.
(II) John Gustin, son of Edmund Gustin (I), was born in St. Ouens, Isle of Jersey, January 9, 1647. He came to New England when a young man and was a sergeant in Captain Turner's company in King Philip's war, 1676. He had made his home at Read- ing, Massachusetts, and was living there in 1677 when he sold his English patrimony. In 1680 he received a grant of land at Falmouth from President Danforth, the fourth lot on what was Broad street, now India street, Portland, Maine, with the privilege of con- ducting a brick yard. He bought a small lot in Falmouth of Widow Housing on the west side of the Presumpscot river. He was driven from home by the Indians with the other set- tlers, but returned in 1719. He was a mar- iner part of the time and was once captain of a vessel.
He bought land above the falls on the Pre- sumpscot in 1686 of Thomas Cloice and made his home there until May 26, 1690, when the Indians destroyed Falmouth. He married at Watertown, Massachusetts, Elizabeth Brown, daughter of John Brown. Some of his chil- dren did not return to Maine, but went to Pennsylvania, Connecticut and elsewhere. His descendants have been traced in Virginia and Pennsylvania among the well known families of Hamiltons, Snowdons and Thomp- sons of Philadelphia; Clews, Hunters and Greens of Virginia. He left a widow and seven children, viz .: Samuel, John, Jr., Thomas, mentioned below; Ebenezer, David, Sarah, Abigail.
(III) Thomas Gustin, son of John Gustin (2), was born about 1690. He settled at Col- chester, Connecticut, where June 7, 1722, he married Sarah Holmes, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Gates) Holmes, of Colchester. The birth of the eldest son is recorded there.

About 1765 he and his brother Samuel settled among the first seven in the grant at Marlow, New Hampshire, made October 7, 1761, to men of Lyme and Colchester, Connecticut. Samuel remained there and was chairman of the committee for the towns of Marlow, Alstead and Surrey,
New Hampshire, representing the signers of a petition relative to a representative in the legislature, December II, 1776. Thomas Gustin was an early settler at Claremont, New Hampshire. He was on a committee to audit the accounts of the selectmen in 1768 and 1770; was moderator in 1772; selectman 1771-72-74-75, and on the committee of safety in 1775. He took the first steps to form the church in 1771 and the first minister, Rev. George Wheaton, was settled in February, 1772. He or his son Thomas was a soldier in the Revolution from Claremont in Captain Wetherbee's company. His relatives, Joel, Amos and Walter Gustin, were in Connecti- cut regiments in the Revolution; Josiah and others in New Hampshire regiments.

Later he worked for a farmer named Derby, whose produce he used to sell in Boston. It is said that he was the first produce man to back his wagon up to old Quincy Market.
