(VI) William Strong, believed to be son of Captain John Strong (5), certainly a near rel- ative, was born about 1760. He was in Cap- tain John Burt's company, Colonel Samuel Fletcher's regiment, in Vermont in 1779. Burt was of Hartford, Vermont. Strong was also in Captain Jesse Sanfords company of Rangers, Major Ebenezer Allen's regiment, in 1780 in Vermont; also in Captain Joshua Hazen's company which marched to Piermont New Hampshire, probably from Woodstock, Vermont, in 1781. With him in this company was Solomon Strong and his son, Solomon Strong, Jr. Solomon was his father's brother and resided in Hartford, as did also another brother, Jedediah Strong. William Strong served in 1781 in Captain John Benjamin's company; Captain Joseph Safford's com- pany, Colonel Benjamin Wait's regiment. Just where William lived in his earlier days ap- pears to be uncertain. Until after the Revo- lution or near its close he was in eastern Ver- mont at Windsor or nearby. His sons re- sided in Western Vermont, in Hinesburg and Fayston, and it is likely that he settled there among the first. Margaret Strong, presuma- bly his wife, died at Fayston, Vermont, in 1870, at the advanced age of ninety-eight years. His children are given by his grand- son as: I. William. 2. Samuel. 3. Marga- ret, married William English. 4. Jane, mar- ried Erastus Kingman. 5. John. 6. Rich- ard.
(VII) Samuel Strong, son of William Strong (6), was born about 1800. He came to this country about the year 1826 from Ireland, and was a true blue "Orangeman." He re- sided in Hinesburg and Fayston, Vermont, and was a farmer. He was active in church work, being at first a member of the Congre- gational church, in which he was a deacon, and later connected with the Covenanters. He married Ann Black, who died in 1844, aged forty-four years. She accompanied her husband to this country. Children: 1. Mary Jane, married Alexander McAlester. 2. Wil- liam Graham, born September 19, 1826, men- tioned below. 3. Ann Eliza, died unmarried. 4. Luke. 5. Mathew, married and was the father of four children: Clarence, Minnie, Samuel and Gertrude. 6. Harriet E., mar- ried George Warren, had one son, William H., professor in chemistry in St. Louis, Mis- souri.
(VIII) William Graham Strong, son of Samuel Strong (7), was born in Hinesburg, Vermont, September 19, 1826. He lived dur- ing his early youth at Fayston, Washington
county, Vermont, near his native town, and went to school there. He went to work on a farm at an early age, then learned the trade of carpenter and joiner. He left Vermont af- ter he had worked a few years at his trade and located first at Methuen, Massachusetts. In 1848 he settled in Wakefield, and four years later in partnership with one Preston started a blind and sash shop there. In 1859 he sold out to George L. Hawks and took a position with George T. McLoughlin as sales- man and traveled for that concern several years. When his employer died he was chos- en to settle the estate. A corporation was formed to continue Mr. McLoughlin's busi- ness and Mr. Strong was made the president, a position he has filled to the present time. The office of the company is at 120 Fulton street, Boston. Notwithstanding his advanced age Mr. Strong attends to his business affairs as regularly as ever. They manufacture en- gines, the Hoadly Portable, also elevators, both electric and belt, and fireproof doors and shutters.
In politics Mr. Strong is an active and sterling Republican. He has been a member of the finance committee for the town of Wakefield; was on the board of overseers of the poor in 1881, and has had to decline for business reasons various other positions of trust and honor. In religion he is a Baptist, and an active and liberal supporter of his church. He makes his home in Wakefield, Middlesex county, Massachusetts. He is held in the highest respect and esteem by his townsmen. Of good sense and ability, of the highest character, personally agreeable and popular, Mr. Strong is a man of wide influ- ence, many friends and large usefulness as a citizen. He ranks easily as one of the leading men of Wakefield.
He married, November 29, 1853, Elizabeth Buckley, daughter of James and Ann (Brier- ly) Buckley. Children: I. Annie E., born April 21, 1857. 2. William C., born 1859, married Elizabeth Nagle; no children. 3. Hattie Ellen, died young. 4. Carrie Etta, born 1866, married Lyman C. Newell, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island; no children. L. C. Newell is professor of chemistry in Boston University.

(VII) John Gould Aborn, son of John Aborn (6), was born in Reading, November 23, 1822. The family removed to Lynnfield when he was an infant, and he began his edu-
cation in the public schools there. At the age of nine years he was sent to Augusta, Maine, where he resided for more than four years with his father's brother, Frederick Aborn. Upon returning to Wakefield he resided with his father, who then occupied the old Tweed estate on the north side of Salem street. He attended the public schools at Augusta and finally the South Reading Academy. At an early age he began to learn the trade of shoe- making, and in 1844 entered the employ of John White, who at that time was one of the leading manufacturers of that section. Short- ly after his marriage, 1845, Deacon Aborn was admitted to partnership by Mr. White and the firm name became John White & Company. In 1858 Mr. White retired and Mr. Aborn conducted the business alone until 1870, when Henry Haskell, Jr., was admitted to the firm, and twelve years later Mr. Aborn retired, selling to his partner. · The firm man- ufactured a high grade of goods, carried on an extensive business that increased from time to time, and from the first had an envia- ble reputation for reliability and honor. Many years ago Mr. Aborn realized the possibilities of real estate development at Magnolia, and early anticipated what has since proved to be a successful business venture at Magnolia, Massachusetts. In 1899 he built the house known as "The Aborn" in connection with his cottages, the building of which had proved profitable to him. His real estate ven- · tures have been uniformly successful. The large estate left by Mr. Aborn's father-in-law was ably and judiciously managed by him. His keen business foresight and prudence characterized a long and very successful bus- iness career.
To the First parish and the Congregational church, Deacon Aborn proved a valuable friend and supporter for many years. He not only gave liberally of his means to the build- ing fund of the beautiful stone edifice, being the largest individual contributor, but he took an active part in the committee work and the task of raising funds and planning for the church. He was chosen a deacon for life in 1860 and served with faithfulness, zeal and earnestness to the time of his death, a period of forty-six years. For several years he was also superintendent of the Sunday school, and was active in all branches of the church and charitable work. Deacon Aborn was for many years interested in the welfare of the Wakefield Savings Bank and of the Wake- field Real Estate and Building Association. He had little inclination for politics and pub-

lic office, but did his duty as a citizen and taxpayer, and faithfully attended . and took part in town meetings and public gatherings, even in his last years, when health permitted. Everything, in fact, that was of interest to his townsmen, having a worthy object in view, secured his support and approval. He was generous in response to the calls of char- ity to the deserving, was a friend of the poor, the sick and helpless. He was imbued with a proper public spirit and lent his aid and in- fluence invariably to movements for the pub- lic welfare. He aided with money and work the raising of troops for the Union during the Civil war. He was deeply interested in theol- ogy and religion, and read extensively and wisely on these subjects. He was a good con- versationalist and knew how to express his thoughts well. He represented withal the highest type of christian citizenship in mod- ern American life. For some time before his death Deacon Aborn had not been in his us- ual health, but his death came as a surprise to those who knew his strength and vitality, though he was nearly eighty-four years of age. He died November 13, 1906, at his home on Main street, Lakeside, in Wakefield.
He married, October 23, 1845, Mary E. White, daughter of John White, then his em- ployer and subsequently his partner, and their happy matrimonial career extended over a period of sixty-one years. Having no chil- dren of their own, Deacon and Mrs. Aborn bestowed parental care on two daughters of relatives, who were left motherless, Mrs. Henry Haskell and Mrs. E. U. Gleason, and to them and their families evidences of love and devotion have been made manifest. Mrs. Aborn survives her husband.
