Warren M. Batcheller, son of Brooks Trull and Rachel Campbell (Dodge) Batcheller, was born on Lowell street, Boston, August II, 1842. In 1850 he was brought by his parents to Billerica, where he attended the district school and the Howe School. When he was sixteen years of age he was taken to Boston by his parents and there worked in his fath- er's livery stable in Devonshire street from 1858 to 1865. In the latter named year he secured employment in the stable of A. Gars- ton on the corner of Bedford and Kingston streets, and later removed to Providence, Rhode Island, where he was a clerk for two years in a shoe store, and at the end of that time he bought out his employer and carried on the business on his own account from 1867 to 1875, eight years. His health failing, and his par- ents then residing in Lexington, needing their care and company, he removed to that place and looked after his interests. Ill health com- pelled him to spend his winters in a warmer climate and he lived in California, the Caro- linas and Georgia, alternately, and thus to a degree retarded the progress of disease. He attends the Unitarian church, and is a Republi- can in political faith. Warren M. Batcheller never married.
Barnard Capen (1562-1633), CAPEN the immigrant ancestor of the Capens of Middlesex county, was made a freeman of the town of Dorches- ter in 1630, and thus became a member of the church, which was founded September 7, 1630, by immigrants who settled on com- mon lands called Mattapan. The oldest marked grave in America is in the churchyard at Dorchester, Massachusetts, and reads:

(VI) Samuel Capen, son of Christopher and Abigail (Thayer) Capen, was born in Stoughton, Norfolk county, November, 1760. When nineteen years of age he is described on the roster of soldiers raised in June, 1780, to reinforce the Continental army for six months as: stature, five feet, five inches, resi- dence Stoughton. He served other brief terms in the latter years of the revolution.

On March 21, 1839, he married Ann, daughter of Jesse and Abigail Billings, granddaughter of Cap- tain William Billings, a soldier of the Ameri- can revolution, of which the records make mention: "William Billings of Stoughton- ham, a Revolutionary soldier in 1775, in 1776 and early in 1777, reported died in May 1777;" and of another: "William Billings, of Wrentham, enlisted for three years to expire August, 1780."

(VIII) William Henry Capen, son of Ed- ward William and Lucretia A. (Marston)- Capen, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, July 11, 1853. He was a pupil in the gram- mar and high schools of Boston, and engaged in the leather business, and on the death of his father in 1881 he became in January, 1883, a member of the firm of Chandler & Com- pany, of which firm he was the senior partner at the time of his death, March 4, 1899.

At the time of the alarm at Lexington, April 17, 1775, (although seventy- six years of age, and occupying the home- stead, previously occupied by Elder Thomas Wiswall, one of the first settlers of the town and which had been in the Wiswall family for generations, located on the east side of the "pond," Chrystal Lake, Newton Centre), Captain Noah Wiswall walked to Lexington on that day to "see what the boys were do- ing," and as he pointed out to his com- panions three British soldiers on the battle- field, his uplifted hand was pierced by a rifle ball, and he staunched the blood by binding it in a handkerchief, and pressed forward as the British troops were retreating, and as one of the regulars fell he took up his then useless rifle and carried it home a trophy of his ad- venture. Captain Jeremiah Wiswall command- ed the East Company of Newton minutemen on that day. The city government of Newton has perpetuated the name in Wiswall street

WASHBURN This name is derived from two simple words-wash, which implies a swift cur- rent of a stream, and burne or bourne, signi- fying a brook or small stream. It has been said of this family, whose origin is in England, carrying a coat-of-arms, that the posterity of John Washburn, who was the first of the name to locate in New England in 1632, "will sel- dom find occasion to blush upon looking back upon the past lives of those from whom they have descended. Fortunate indeed may the generations now in being esteem themselves, if they can be sure to bequeath to their posterity an equal source of felicitation."
(I) John Washburn, the immigrant, settled in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in 1632. He was secretary of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and with his two sons, John and Philip, was able to bear arms in 1643. He and his son John were among the original fifty-four per- sons who became proprietors of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, in 1645. They bought the lands of the old Sachem, Massasoit, for seven coats of one and one-half yards each, nine hatchets, eight hoes, twenty knives, four moose skins, ten and a half yards of cotton cloth. The transfer was signed by Miles Standish, Samuel Nash and Constant Southworth. He married Margery Children: I. John, born 1621; mentioned below. 2. Philip, born in England in 1624; died unmarried. Probably others.
(II) John Washburn, son of John Wash- burn (I), was born in England in 1621. He came to New England with his parents. He married Eliza Mitchell, in 1645, daughter of Experience Mitchell. A letter to Mrs. Wash- burn from her nephew, Thomas Mitchell, dated at Amsterdam, has been preserved. John Washburn sold in 1670 the house and land that his father gave him at Green Harbor Duxbury. His will was made in 1686. His sons John and Samuel were executors, and his brother-in-law Edward Mitchell and his "kind friend" John Tomson were made trustees and overseers. Children : I.

(III) Sergeant Samuel Washburn, son of John Washburn (2), was born in Duxbury, in 1651. He married Deborah Packard, daugh- ter of Samuel Packard. He died in 1720, aged sixty-nine. His will made in 1720 shows that his sons Noah and Israel were dead at that time. Children: I. Samuel, born 1678. 2. Noah, born 1682 ; mentioned below. 3. Israel, born 1684. 4.

(V) Eleazer Washburn, son of Noah Wash- burn, resided at East Bridgewater. He mar- ried, in 1738, Anna Alden, daughter of Cap- tain Ebenezer Alden. She died in 1788, aged seventy. He died before 1770. Children: I. Susanna, born 1740; married Jepthah Byram. 2. Zenas, born 1741. 3. Anne, born 1742; died young. 4. Anne, born 1743; married Amos Whitman, in 1764. 5.

(VI) Alden Washburn, son of Eleazer Washburn (5), was born in 1758 at Bridge- water, Massachusetts. Mitchell says he re- moved to Maine or New Hampshire. He mar- ried Sarah Harden, and had one child, Oliver, born August, 1785, mentioned below.
(VII) Oliver Washburn, son of Alden Washburn (6), was born in New Hampshire, August, 1785, and died April 5, 1871. He re- ceived his education in the district schools, and worked on his father's farm until he was of age. Then he followed an inclination to go to sea. On his return from a voyage to the West Indies the vessel encountered a heavy storm in

winter, and during the exposure he suffered he had both feet frozen, necessitating the am- putation of all his toes after landing in Port- land, Maine. That ended his career as a mariner, and he engaged in the furniture busi- ness in Dover, New Hampshire, for a time. He returned to Portland and began to manu- facture carriages and wagons. He built the first wagon ever seen in the town of Tamworth, New Hampshire, and was one of the pioneers in this line of business. He then removed to Lowell, and took charge of the wood repair shop in the Lawrence Manufacturing Company until May 23, 1840, when he removed to Tyngsborough, Massachusetts, to build his shop for the manufacture of brushes. The company was unable to get good brushes, and induced him to establish this business. He built his factory on the Nashua road, in Tyngs- borough, just about halfway between Lowell and Nashua, and he established there the large and flourishing business which since his death has been continued by his son Horace A. Wash- burn. Oliver Washburn was a shrewd and successful business man, knowing his trade thoroughly and producing the best possible goods. He married first, Harriet Stearns, born at Portland, Maine; they had three children : John M., Thomas and Maria. He married second, Betsey William Giddings, of Lyde- borough, New Hampshire. Children : I. Elizabeth S., born 1835. 2. Horace Augustus, born 1837; mentioned below. 3. Harriet Ade- laide, born 1843; died May 5, 1863. 4.

(VIII) Horace Augustus Washburn, son of Oliver Washburn (7), was born in 1837, in Lowell, Massachusetts. He was educated in the public schools and in Winslow Academy. He worked during his vacations and spare time in his father's brush factory in Tyngsborough, and continued as a steady hand after that, ac- quiring a thorough, practical knowledge of the manufacture of brushes and the conduct of the business. He became foreman at the age of twenty-one, and continued in that position un- til the death of his father, April 5, 1871, when he succeeded to the business and has conducted it to the present time. He bought the interests of the other heirs in his father's house. Origin- ally he had only five acres of land, but he has added by purchase until he now owns a hun- dred and fifty acres of farm land. He has bought and sold much wood land also, in Tyngsborough and vicinity. He conducts his farm along modern lines and has a first-class dairy.
The beginning of the industry with which ii-21
Mr. Washburn has been connected from his early youth has been given in the sketch of its founder, his father. From the beginning the brushes of this concern have been made on honor and under the personal supervision of the Washburns who know everything about brushes that isknown to brush manufacturers. Their goods have been in constant demand from the beginning by all the large mills of Lowell and many other cities, the Washburn brushes being constructed according to the needs of the mills and of the best material available. It is not uncommon for the big Merrimack Mills of Lowell to order twenty gross of loom dusters at a time, and the woolen mills-the Middlesex, Lowell and oth- ers-use large quantities of machine brushes. The Washburn factory makes no pretence to elegance, but is admirably adapted to its pur- pose. It stands upon a small stream which flows into the Merrimac river, yielding con- stantly about eight-horse power for driving the machinery used. To supply this stream Mr. Washburn built a reservoir in 1874 containing twenty acres, saving the water on the same plan as the owners of the Lowell mill privi- leges save the water in Lake Winnepesaugee for the maintenance of a steady supply throughout the year. In the shop a number of hands are employed in constructing the brush- es. The best pig bristles are used as a rule, though some manila and tampico are required for certain kinds of work. These bristles come from New York in barrels, rolled in packages of a pound or more each, and ready for use. The wooden parts of the brushes are made as ordered in Vermont at the source of supply of wood. In the factory the holes are drilled and the bristles inserted and fastened by wires on the back by adhesive pitch. The construc- tion and finishing of the brush form an inter- esting process. The shop produces all kinds of house brushes, stove, scrubbing, boot and window brushes, dusters, machine brushes of every sort, and whitewash and paint brushes. Mr. Washburn is one of the most prominent citizens. He has been town treasurer for ten successive years; selectman, overseer of the poor, assessor, member of the school commit - tee six years, member of the road committee three years, and justice of the peace for seven years. He is a member of the Universalist church. In politics he is a Democrat.
