Fisher Ames Hildreth married, November 5, 1846, Lauretta Coburn, born December 28, 1819, died in Lowell, October 31, 1882, daugh- ter of Major Ephraim and Hannah (Varnum) Coburn, of Dracut. Children: I. Florence, born April 5, 1848, married Thomas Nesmith. 2. Rowena, born March 6, 1854, mentioned below. 3. Israel, born 1858, died 1863. 4. Fisher Ames, Jr., born and died in 1860.


(VIII) Rowena Hildreth, daughter of Fisher Ames Hildreth (7), was born in Low- ell, March 6, 1854. She married, May 13, 1880, Charles Dana Palmer, who was born in Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, November 25, 1845, son of George Wall Palmer, of Scottish descent. The grandfather of George Wall Palmer, Thomas Palmer, was a bookseller and publish- er of a newspaper in Kelso, Scotland. This publication had for a time an extensive circula- tion, but as the publishers espoused the cause of the Republicans in the French Revolution the patronage decreased and Mr. Palmer re- solved to emigrate to America. He died, how- ever, before his plans were matured, but in 1801 his sons Thomas and George sold their estate, emigrated to the United States and set-


tled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where they established a successful book-printing business. George Palmer, the younger member of the firm, died in 1817, leaving an only son, George Wall Palmer, who was a book publisher in Boston, Massachusetts, firm of Yenks, Palmer & Company, and later was for twenty-five years treasurer of the Middlesex Horse Rail- way Company. Charles D. Palmer was a graduate of the Dwight grammar school of Boston in 1858, of the Boston Latin School, at which he received one of the four Franklin medals awarded in 1864, and of Harvard Col- lege in 1868. With the purpose of becoming a manufacturer Mr. Palmer entered the employ of the Washington Mills Company of Law- rence, and was appointed in 1869 by the man- agement to visit Canada in the interest of the worsted industry then being started by the company. He engaged in the manufacture of shoddy at North Chelmsford from 1872 to 1882. In politics he is a Republican. He was mayor of the city of Lowell in 1888-89-90, and throughout his administration he displayed a fine appreciation of the needs of the city, un- usual executive ability and sound judgment. He was independent in action, devoted to duty, upright and far-sighted. He appointed the commission to build the City Hall and Memori- al building, and many public improvements, all of which are on record, were carried on suc- cessfully during his administration. The cramped quarters of the city officers were not suitable for their purposes, and as a result of the work done under his supervision the city built one of the most convenient and elaborate buildings in the state for that purpose, and entirely within the appropriation. In 1895 Mr. Palmer was appointed by Governor Green- halge a member of the Massachusetts State Board of Conciliation and Arbitration, which office he has held under successive governors to the present time. In 1901 Mrs. Palmer was appointed by Mayor Dimon a trustee of the Lowell City Library, one of the earliest woman trustees to be appointed in this country.


Children of Charles Dana and Rowena (Hil- dreth) Palmer: I. Elinor, born October 13, 1883, graduate of Radcliff College, 1904 ; mar- ried, August 22, 1906, Alexander Richardson Magruder. 2.

REGAN Patrick Joseph Regan was


born in Ireland, and married there Mary Mahoney. They came to America with a large family of chil- dren in 1881, and settled first at Northbridge, Massachusetts, where he worked during the first year, and then removed to Waltham, where he still lives, a retired builder and con- tractor. Children: I. Michael J., born 1868. 2. Hugh, born 1870. 3. Patrick Joseph, born March 17, 1872, mentioned below. 4. John, born 1874. 5. Mary, born 1876, mar- ried Alfred O'Brien, and they have two chil- dren. 6. Sarah, born 1878, married Homer Brownell and they have three children. 7. Thomas, born 1882, married Mary Dwyer, and they have one child. 8. James, born 1884, married Eliza Sullivan. 9. Nora, born 1886. 10. Stephen, born 1890.


(II) Patrick Joseph Regan, son of Patrick Joseph Regan (1), was born in Athenry, Ire- land, March 17, 1872. He attended school in his native parish, but at the age of nine the family came to America, settling first for a year at Northbridge, then at Waltham. He received his education there in the public schools, but at the age of twelve years was obliged to help support the family, and he went to work in one of the cotton mills. After a few years he left the cotton mill to learn the stone cutting business. He did not like the stone cutting business, and he finally entered the Marcus Murray Boiler Works at Brooklyn and learned the trade of pipe and boiler maker. He returned from New York to enter the em- ploy of the Davis & Farnum iron foundry in Waltham, where he worked until 1893, when he located at Stoneham with the People's Gas and Electric Company. When that com- pany went out of business in 1900 he entered the employ of the Wakefield Gas Company. He was well known in Stoneham, however, and when the town of Stoneham decided to buy the water works, Mr. Regan was chosen by the water board as the first superintendent of the water department, the position he now occupies. He has managed the water depart- ment with great credit to himself and satisfac- tion to the taxpayers. In 1903 he had added to his department the sewage of Stoneham. His success is due largely to his pertinacity in mastering the details of his office and in knowing all there is to know about his de- partment. His industry, ability and attrac- tive personality have won for him a high place in the esteem and confidence of his townsmen. Few men have advanced more rapidly in capacity and in responsibilities. Mr.


Regan is a. representative self-made man of the present generation. In politics he is in- dependent; in religion a Roman Catholic. He is president of the St. Patrick's Institute, member of the Knights of Columbus, and has been treasurer, also a member of Wamscott Tribe, Independent Order of Red Men.


He married, September 6, 1896, Mary O' Hearn, daughter of John and Mary (Mackey) ('Hearn, of Stoneham. Their only child is Alice, born February 22, 1903.

This name is of German or- GROTHE igin, and in its pronunciation in the mother country the final "e" is sounded. It was transplanted in America over fifty years ago by an able and intelligent mechanic who was a worthy repre- sentative of the numerous industrial class, which still constitutes the bulwark of the Ger- man empire.


Herman Grothe was born in Frankfort-on- the-Main, January 19, 1819. He acquired the advantages of an excellent education, and when eligible by age to render military ser- vice, which was then, as it is now, compulsory in Germany, he entered the army. Having fulfilled his military obligations to the gov- ernment, he served an apprenticeship at the cabinet-maker's trade, acquiring a thorough knowledge of that calling, and becoming a skilful mechanic. About the year 1850 he emigrated to the United States, first locating in New York City, where he readily obtained employment at his trade, and he remained in the metropolis some six or seven years. In 1857 he was secured by Messrs. Leach & Annable, of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massa- chusetts, as an expert cabinet-maker, and re- moving his family to that town he resided there for the remainder of his life, which ter- minated in 1859. He was for a time the only

constructor in this country of the long ex- tension tables that came into use in that period, and he attained a high reputation for the reliability and general perfection of his work. His life was quiet and uneventful, but by his numerous commendable qualities he commanded the respect and good will of all with whom he came in contact. His sym- pathy with our democratic form of govern- ment naturally caused him to become a naturalized American citizen, and he supported the Whig party during the last years of its existence. In his religious belief he ad- hered to the faith in which he had been reared, and was a member of the German Lutheran church. He married Rebecca Buck, who was born at Frankfort-on-the-Main, in Febru- ary, 1824, and she survived her husband many years, her death having occurred Octo- ber 6, 1906. She was the mother of four chil- dren: John Jorgen, who will be referred to at length in another paragraph; William Henry, born April 21, 1855; Rebecca Sophia, born February 2, 1857; and Charles August- us, born November 30, 1858. William Henry was married September 10, 1878, to Mary Mon- ica Doucette, of Rockfort, Massachusetts, who died March 31, 1907, she bore him six children: Herman Joseph, born July 29, 1879 (married Louise Packard September 5, 1906, and has one son, William Arthur); Mary Alice, born January 21, 1881, (became the wife of Damon Williams Foley, in 1899, and has one son, Henry Mahlon Foley); Rebecca Sophronia, born August 19, 1882, (was mar- ried in 1905 to Wilbert Burhoe Marshall); Charles Edward and Mary Helen (twins) born April 1I, 1885; and Marcelina, born April 2, 1888. Rebecca Sophia Grothe be- came the wife of Harry P. Gilmore of Omaha, Nebraska, January 28, 1875, and has five chil- dren : Ada E., born December 15, 1875, mar- ried George F. McCarthy; Anna M., born September 4, 1878; Marie A., born April 28, 1883; Harry V., born November 5, 1889; and Margaret H., born March 24, 1897. Charles Augustus Grothe was married December 6, 1885, to Laura Eunice Ware, who died June 12, 1900, leaving three children: Flora Maud, born January 8, 1887; Edwin Carl, born April 12, 1889; and Marion Ware, born January I, 1900. On May 23, 1901, he married for his second wife Mary Myrtle Dean.


John Jorgen Grothe, eldest child of Her- man and Rebecca Sophia (Buck) Grothe, was born in New York City, August 19, 1852. At the age of five years he accompanied his par- ents to Manchester, and he was left fatherless


prior to his seventh birthday. He attended the public schools of Manchester until thir- teen years old, when he removed with the family to Knoxville, Tennessee, and for a time was employed in a grocery and provision store, later working upon a farm. He subse- quently enlisted for three years in the Ten- nessee state militia, which at that time was recruited and called into active service for the purpose of suppressing the Ku-Klux raids, but honorably discharged at the expiration of six months, the lawlessness having been ef- fectually quelled. Going to Baltimore, he was for a short period in the service of a steamship line plying between that city and Philadelphia, and returning to Manchester, Massachusetts, he learned the blacksmith's trade of Asa Richards, with whom he re- mained as a apprentice and journeyman for four and one-half years. In the fall of 1874 he went to Nebraska, but after a short so- journ in that state he returned to New Eng- land, and for a period of eighteen months was employed at his trade as tool-maker by the Pidgeon Cove Granite Company at their quarry on Cape Ann. He was next employed as a blacksmith in Danvers, Massachusetts, going from that town in 1878 to Middleton, this state, where he was engaged in trade for the succeeding eight years, and removing to Milford, Massachusetts, he purchased the long established business of C. T. Crosby, which he carried on successfully for four years. Disposing of his business in Milford to good advantage, he went to Woburn, and purchasing the blacksmith and carriage-mak- ing establishment of Messrs. Pollard and Parker, has ever since conducted it success- fully, developing the business and making it one of the important industrial enterprises of that city. His field of operations are not confined to Woburn alone, as he derives a large amount of patronage from the adjacent towns, including Wilmington, Winchester and Stoneham, and his business has expanded into large proportions. In addition to gen- eral blacksmithing and the building of wa- gons and pungs, he manufactures electric railway snow-plows constructed from his own designs, and these are now in use on many car lines in this section of the country. He is also interested in real estate, and his hold- ings include besides his business plant a hand- some residence on Eastern avenue, which he erected some time since. In politics he acts with the Republican party, and in his religious belief he is a Universalist. His fra- ternal affiliations are with Crystal Font

Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and he is also a member of the Meshawum Club.


On November 26, 1876, Mr. Grothe was united in marriage with Miss Susie Harlow Haskell, who was born in Gloucester, Massa- chusetts, June 28, 1857, daughter of Philip H. and Emma (Butler) Haskell of that city. About the year 1637 three brothers, Roger, William and Mark Haskell came from Bris- tol, England, and settled in Beverly, Massa- chusetts. William Haskell, who was born in 1617, went from Beverly to Gloucester about the year 1643, and died there August 12, 1693. He was a mariner, and is designated in the early records as both captain and lieu- tenant. He was married November 6, 1643, to Mary, daughter of Walter Tybbot or Tib- betts, of Gloucester, and her death occurred just four days after that of her husband. William Haskell was several times chosen representative to the general court from Gloucester between the years 1672 and 1685. He left an estate inventoried at five hundred and forty-eight pounds and twelve shillings. His children were: William, Joseph, Benjam- in, John, Ruth, Mark, Sarah, Elenor and Mary. Mrs. Grothe is a lineal descendant in the eighth generation of William (I) and Mary (Tibbetts) Haskell, and the line of de- scent is Joseph (2), Joseph (3), David (4), Aaron (5), Abel (6) and Philip H. (7). Philip H. Haskell was born at Gloucester in 1819, and was a prosperous farmer.


Mr. and Mrs. Grothe are the parents of three children: I. Alice May, born in Dan- vers July 24, 1877, married July 24, 1899, to Willis A. Blaisdell, of Winchester, and has one son, Henry Oscar Blaisdell, born April 9, 1900. 2. Harry Oscar Grothe, born in Mid- dleton, February 6, 1879. 3. Eva Maud Grothe, born in Middleton, May 10, 1882; married, February, 1903, to E. H. Ives, of Salem, Massachusetts.


The Livingston family is LIVINGSTON of ancient Scotch ances- try. The ancient family of Aberdeen, Scotland, has this coat of arms : Argent, two gilly flowers in chief and an es- callop in base all within a bordure gules. Crest-a boar's head couped holding in the mouth a pair of balances ppr. Motto-"Fortis et Aequus." The Balrowan family has the same arms with a different crest: Gillyflower slipped ppr. Motto : "Nativum Retinet Decus." The Livingston family possesses the Earldom


of Linlithgow, created in 1600; the Earldom of Callendar, created in 1641, and the Lordship Almond, created in 1633. One other line of this family has a coat-of-arms: Argent, three cinquefoils gules pierced of the field. The arms of the New York family are similar to the latter. Robert Livingston, the first Lord of the Manor of Livingston, New York, was one of the seven children of Rev. John Livings- ton, and a lineal descendant of the fifth Lord Livingston, the ancestor of the Earls of Lin- lithgow and Callendar. The clergyman was banished for non-conformity and took refuge in Rotterdam, where in 1672 he died. Robert went to New York about 1675 and had a large grant constituting the greater part of Dutchess and Columbia counties ; the remainder of this grant still owned by descendants is called Liv- ingston Manor.


(I) John Livingston, or Livingstone, the immigrant ancestor of the Massa- chusetts family, was also Scotch. He was a member of the Scots' Charitable Society of Boston as early as 1659. He may have been one of the Scotch prisoners taken by Cromwell at the battle of Worcester, who were sent in large numbers to Massa- chusetts colonies. Most of the Scotch immi- gration of this period was due to Cromwell's method of disposing of his prisoners. There is a belief in the family that he was related to the New York family mentioned above. He settled in that part of Billerica now the town of Tewksbury. In the early records he is men- tioned as in the service of Thomas Carrier (Currier) indicating that he was a Scotch prisoner of war. All these prisoners were let out to the English settlers, but they were well treated and were soon able to acquire farms of their own. In November, 1677, he and his employer, Thomas Carrier, were warned from cutting brush in the southeast part of the town of Billerica. It is possible that John was the second of the name. He was living later in Chelmsford. He married at Billerica, Septem- ber 12, 1680, Margaret Ross, daughter of Thomas Ross and Seeth Holman, his wife. She was also Scotch. The Ross family resid- ed at Loes Plain. She died June 16, 1705. He married (second) November 29, 1705, Eunice Shedd, daughter of Daniel Shedd, of North Billerica. His family was desolated by the Indian attack of August 5, 1695. "In the north part of the town on the east side of the Con- cord river, lived a number of families who, though without garrison and in time of war, seemed under no apprehension of danger. Their remoteness from the scenes of Indian

depredations might have contributed to their fancied security. The Indians came suddenly upon them in the day time." The savages came on horseback and took effectual precau- tions against surprise or pursuit. They killed ten, five of whom were adults, and took five prisoners. In Livingston's household five young children were killed and also his "mother-in-law" (i. e. stepmother) Seeth (Holman) Ross, recently widowed, who was living with him. The eldest daughter was taken captive and carried off. The pursuers found no traces of the Indians. Children: I. John, born March I, 1681-82, mentioned be- low. 2. Margaret, born August 29, 1683, died December 22, 1683. 3. Sarah, born Novem- ber 12, 1684, taken captive August 5, 1695, when the five following were slain. 4. Seth, born April 6, 1687. 5.

(II) Sergeant John Livingston (or Leves- ton) son of John Livingston (I), was born in Billerica, March 1, 1681-82, died there June 27, 1755. He married in 1709 Ruth Shedd, daughter of Daniel Shedd. She died April 5, 1756. He and Seth were set off in the dis- trict called Tewksbury, incorporated as a town December 23, 1734. Children, born in Bill- erica : I. Ruth, born July 14, 1710. 2.
