He served a year as a journeyman at his trade, and then enlisted for nine months in Company D, Fiftieth Massachusetts Vol- unteer Infantry, in August, 1862, from the town of Reading. His regiment went to Ba- ton Rouge and was in the engagements there, and afterwards at Port Hudson, and was there during the siege. He remained in the service three months longer than the term of enlistment and was discharged in August, 1863, after serving a year. In October, 1863, Mr. Boyce built a shop at Farm Hill, Stoneham, in the north part of that town, and became a blacksmith on his own account. Af- ter three years there he bought a lot of land on Pleasant street and removed his shop to its present site. The growth of business com- pelled him to enlarge his quarters, and for many years he has enjoyed an excellent trade. In addition to his blacksmith shop he has had since 1888 a livery stable on Main street not far from his shop on Pleasant street, and has also been successful in that branch of his business.

McMURPHY
Alexander McMurphy, the immigrant ancestor, was born in Londonderry, Ire-
land, of Scotch parentage, and came to New England with the first Scotch-Irish pioneers who settled at Nutfield. He had a half lot in the second division and amendment lands with James Leggett. His homestead was in the three-quarter mile range, east of Beaver pond, next south of the land of Governor Went- worth and north of a second division lot laid out to Squire John McMurphy. He married Jean --- , who died January 18, 1724. He was drowned in the Pow Wow river in King- ston, February 19, 1734, and his body recover- ed February 23; he was buried by the old meeting house on the hill.
Descendants of this family in Ireland are living near Ballycastle, Antrim, Ireland. In America the descendants of the Londonderry McMurphys are very numerous and widely scattered. Some have dropped the prefix Mc. or Mac. In early records the name was often spelled with one capital Macmurphy. Some writers think that McMurphy came to New Hampshire before the main body of Scotch- Irish.

Colonel William Pepperell, HODGDON the first American an- cestor of Dr. Frank A. Hodgdon, was born in Tavistock, Cornwall, England, where he followed the vocation of fisherman, and being of a venturesome nature he frequently crossed the Atlantic to the banks of Newfoundland. These ventures de- termined his emigration to America, and with his wife, Margery (Bray) Pepperell, he made a new home first on the Isles of Shoals and subsequently at Kittery on the Maine coast, and from this settlement he made ex- peditions to the more familiar ground, Banks of Newfoundland. He also cultivated a farm, and on it brought up his only son, William Pepperell, Jr., who was born at Kittery, June 27, 1696.
(II) Sir William Pepperell, only son of Colonel William and Margery (Bray) Pepper- ell, was educated for the profession of land surveyor and navigator. He associated with his father in shipbuilding at Kittery, which became the chief industry of the place, under the firm name of William Pepperell & Son. He was also justice of the peace for 1717, served in the militia of the Massachusetts Bay Colony as captain of cavalry, and was pro- moted successively to major, lieutenant, colonel and brevet-colonel, and with the lat- ter rank he commanded all the cavalry in the militia district of Maine, and was active in suppressing Indian raids in the towns on the coast. He represented the district in the general court of Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1726, was a member of the counsel of Gere- moro Burnett, Belcher, Shirley and Pownal, 1727-59, and was secretary of the council for thirteen years. He served as chief justice of the court of common pleas of Massachusetts Bay Colony 1730-59, and at the outbreak of the war known as King George's war he fur- nished the government of Great Britain, to meet the emergency of fitting out troops in the colonies, £5,000 sterling, and used it at his discretion, having been made commander- in-chief of the New England Colonial forces sent against Louisburg in April, 1745, which was made up of one hundred colonies of armed vessels, four thousand colored troops and a small English squadron under Com- mander Warren, and after a siege of seven weeks the fortress surrendered to the Col- onial forces under Pepperell, June 17, 1745. For these services King George II created him a baronet, the first American citizen to be so honored, and he was also received in England with high honors in 1749, on visit- ing the English court. The Colonists voted him resolutions of thanks for his efficient pro- tection of the coast thus safely guarded against the further raids of French armed vessels operating from the French fortress at Louisburg. Sir William Pepperell built a palace at Kittery and entertained royal visit- ors with a lavish hand, being estimated as the wealthiest man in the colony, and in this way became the leader of a class of aristo- cracy theretofore unknown in America and foreign to the Democratic principles inaugur- ated by the Puritan settlers. On the out- break of the French and Indian war in 1755, Sir William Pepperell raised and equipped a considerable body of troops for service in behalf of the colonists, and he was placed in command with the rank of major-general and
584

this distinction made him also Colonial gov- ernor of Massachusetts, 1756-58, under the council, and in 1759 he was promoted to lieutenant-general, the highest rank in the Colonial army. Sir William Pepperell was married March 16, 1723, to May Hiest, of Boston, a niece of the Rev. Samuel Moody, of New York, and he thus became a part of the aristocratic society dominant in that city at that time. He wrote "Conference with the Penobscot Tribe," which was published in 1753. He died at his home in Kittery, Maine, July 6, 1759. From this distinguished ances- tor Dr. Hodgdon traced his descent through six generations, in the fourth of which ap- pears his grandfather.

(V) Calvin W. Hodgdon, father of Dr. Frank A. Hodgdon, was born in Walden, Vermont, 1824, and was brought up on his father's farm, attending the district school in the winter terms. He remained on the farm, succeeding his father in the management. He was married to Susan, daughter of Addison and May Patch, of Walden. Addison Patch was a farmer in the same neighborhood as the Hodgdons.
(VI) Frank A. Hodgdon, son of Calvin W. and Susan (Patch) Hodgdon, was born in Walden, Vermont, March 19, 1857. He received his school training at the Hampton Institute, and was graduated at the Hahne- mann Medical College, Chicago, Illinois, Doctor of Medicine, 1886. He began the practice of medicine the same year at Peter- boro, New Hampshire, and in 1897 removed to Malden, Massachusetts. He was a mem- ber of the school board of Peterboro, and a member of the library committee of that town. He was a Republican in political faith, and his church affiliation was with the Universalist denomination. He holds membership in the American Institute of Homoeopathy, the Massachusetts Homeopathic Society, the Boston Homoeopathic Society and the Gynecological and Surgical Society of Bos- ton. He served the city of Malden as a mem- ber of the board of surgeons and physicians of the Malden hospital and as a member of the staff. He is a member of the Universal- ist Union Club of Malden, and was promin- ent in civic offices, having a view to the health of that beautiful suburb of Greater Boston. He is a Mason, member of council in Malden, commandery in Keene, New Hampshire, and Blue Lodge and Chapter in Peterboro, New Hampshire.
Dr. Hodgdon was married at Peterboro, New Hampshire, October, 1888, to Clara, daughter of Herman G. and Sarah Pettengill, and great-granddaughter of Samuel Petten- gill, who was a soldier in the campaign of 1775, in the assault by Ethan Allen at Fort Ticonderoga and subsequently at Bunker Hill. Herman G. Pettengill was postmaster at Peterboro. Frank A. and Clara (Petten- gill) Hodgdon had one child, Christine Fran- ces, born in Peterboro, New Hampshire, 1890, graduated at the Malden high school, June, 1907, and in the same year entered the Emerson College of Oratory of Boston. Mrs. Clara (Pettengill) Hodgdon died at Peter- boro, 1890. Dr. Hodgdon married (second), 1892, Harriet Pettengill, sister of his de- ceased wife.
Michael Dwinell, the immi- DWINELL grant ancestor, was born about 1640, and according to family tradition was of Scotch origin. The surname Donnel, and Dunnell is found in both Scotch and English history, dating back many centuries. The spelling has always varied. Even at the present day we find his descendants called Dwinell, Dwinnell and Dwinel. The surname as written in the town records of Topsfield, where the pioneer set- tled, has the following variations: Dwenell, Duenell, Doenell, Donell, Dunell, Dwinnill. But the best early authority is that of Rev. Joseph Capen, of Topsfield, who spelled the name Dwinell on his records from 1684 to 1725. The name Michael was also spelled in divers ways. Dwinell was a man of prop- erty, owning large tracts of land from Wen- ham to Middleton, Massachusetts. He died in 1717, and his will was proved March that year. He married Mary -. Children: I.
