James H. Butler, elder son and second child of Jacob Tilton and Hannah M.(Young) Butler, was born in Lafayette, Indiana, No- vember 7, 1856. He was educated in the pub-

lic schools of Chelsea, Massachusetts, grad- uating from the old Williams grammar school in June, 1871, then for a short term was a student in the Chelsea high school, but left because it became necessary for him to find employment and contribute to the support of his parents and the family. For something like two years he worked in the tool room of the navy yard in Boston, and when eighteen years old went to Lanark, Illinois, and en- gaged in a woolen business on his own ac- count. Having lived in Lanark about four years, engaged in successful business opera- tions which extended into the east as well as the west, Mr. Butler returned to Massachu- setts in 1887, and five years later was the ac- tive organizer of the Chandler Adjustable School Chair and Desk Company, a corpora- tion formed under the laws of Massachusetts, and having its principal offices in the city of Boston. Mr. Butler was treasurer and gen- eral manager of the company from the time of its organization until 1898, when it merged with the American School Furniture Com- pany. Still later this company was merged with the American Seating Company, a cor- poration with a capital of four million dol- lars, and which today controls seventy-five per cent. of all of the business in its special line-school desks, church furniture and opera chairs, etc .- in this country, with a large business in Europe. Mr. Butler is New England manager of the business of the com- pany, and is an energetic, capable and suc- cessful officer in that capacity, as he was in the establishment of the original company more than fifteen years ago, and the organiza- tion of its affairs on a secure financial basis. In politics he is a staunch Republican, not an aspirant for political honors, although when living in Somerville he did serve a single term as overseer of the poor, and for several years was chairman of the ward committee in the ward in which he lived. He lived in that city about twenty years, and removed to his pres- ent home in Malden in 1901. He is a member of the several masonic bodies of Somerville- John Abbot Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons; Somerville Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Oriental Council, Royal and Scot- tish Masons; and of De Molay Commandery, Knights Templar. He and his family are regular attendants of the First Parish Univer- salist Church in Malden.
On December 28, 1876, at Lanark, Illinois, Mr. Butler married Mary E. Baker, who was born in Brookfield, Illinois, March 12, 1858, a daughter of George H. Baker and
Elizabeth Herbert, his wife, of Lanark, Illinois. Mr. Baker lived many years in Lanark, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and eventu- ally came to Massachusetts and settled in Stoneham, where he died in 1905. His wife, Elizabeth Herbert, who is still living, aged seventy-seven years, came of an old and highly respectable family of Baltimore, Mary- land, and of revolutionary ancestors. They married in Mount Morris, Illinois, 1852, and had seven children.
Mr. and Mrs. Butler have two children. Their first child, E. Rose Butler, was born in Lanark, Illinois, November 22, 1877, and was educated in the Somerville grammar and high schools and the state normal school in Salem, Massachusetts. On July 11, 1906, she married Captain John Doull, son of William M. Doull, of Montreal, Canada, an officer of the English army, and now major of the Royal Canadian Regiment at present sta- tioned at Halifax, Nova Scotia. He served with distinction in South Africa during the Boer war. Major and Mrs. Doull have one daughter, Mary Campbell Doull, born in Mal- den, August 4, 1907.
James Percival Butler, younger of the two children of James H. and Mary E. (Baker) Butler, was born in Somerville, Massachu- setts, January 9, 1881, and was educated in the grammar and high schools of that city, later was a student in the Rindge Training School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, during one year, and for three years at Tufts College. He is now associated in business with his father.
COGGAN John Coggan, the first of the name in New England, ap- pears first in Dorchester in 1632, and took the freeman's oath November 5, 1633. The name on various records is · spelled Cogan, Coggen, Coggin and Cog- gen. John Coggan was a merchant in Bos- ton, and possessed of considerable wealth, and he appears, according to Washburn's Ju- dicial History of Massachusetts, to have acted as one of the attorneys under the old charter of the colony of Massachusetts Bay. His first wife Ann joined the church at Boston, and had her daughter Ann recorded to have been born November 9, 1636, and baptized November 6, 1636, and another daughter Ly- dia, born and baptized July 14, 1639. John Coggan's second wife was Mary, who died January 14, 1652, and his third wife, whom he married March 16, 1652, was Martha.

daughter of Captain William Rainborow, widow (I) of Thomas Coytemore and (2) of Governor John Winthrop. By his third wife he had one child Caleb, born December 15, 1652, baptized December 26, 1652. He had also as members of his household three chil- dren of his brother Humphrey, who never came to New England. These children were: Mary, born in England, and Elizabeth who was probably born in Dorchester, as the mother probably came with either one or both children at the time her brother-in-law, John Coggan, emigrated. The third child of Humphrey Coggan was John, Jr., so named to distinguish him from his Uncle John. This John Coggan was admitted as a freeman of the town of Boston, May 18, 1642, married and had child Sarah, born December 25, 1657, died 1674. Mary Coggan married (first) John Moody, of Roxbury, and (second) Thomas Robinson, of Scituate, and had three children. Her sister Elizabeth married Jo- seph Rock. John Coggan, the immigrant, died in Boston in April, 1658, and in 1660 his widow Martha administered his will, made December 16, 1657, and in it he mentions his wife Martha, his son Caleb, Mary Robinson, Elizabeth Rock, and John, son of his brother Humphrey, to whom he bequeathed a gold ring, and £20 to the children of Windsor. A letter of the Rev. John Davenport, printed in Massachusetts Historical Collection forty- five, contains a story of unusual interest of the widow of John Coggan. The property of John Coggan, the immigrant, named in his will, included besides houses and a shop in the town of Boston a farm at Rumney Marsh, a corn mill at Mystic Side (Malden), and five hundred acres of land in the town of Wo- burn.
(I) Henry Coggan, another immigrant, ap- peared in the town of Boston in 1634, re- moved to Scituate, and to Barnstable in 1639, and died in England while there on a visit in June, 1649. His wife Abigail bore him children: Abigail, born probably before settlement at Boston. Thomas, baptized March 1, 1640, died January 26, 1659. John, born February 12, 1643. Mary, born April 20, 1645, died a few days thereafter. Henry, born October II, 1646. Left a widow in June, 1649, she married, June 10, 1650, John Phinney. She died May 6, 1653. Her daugh- ter Abigail married, June 21, 1659, John French, of Billerica, and died early in her married life. We have here three brothers: John, of Boston, who settled in Dorchester, 1632; Humphrey, of England, whose son
John was brought up by John, of Boston ; Henry, of Barnstable, 1639, who had a son John baptized February 12, 1643.

Few American families CARPENTER have been traced so thoroughly and accur- ately in America and England as that of the Carpenter family. The line is traced back for a period of over six hundred years.
(I) John Carpenter, the first progenitor to whom the line is definitely traced in the Eng-

lish records, was born in 1303. He was a member of parliament in 1323.

(III) John Carpenter, son of Richard Car- penter (2), was a brother of John Carpenter, Jr., the famous town clerk of London, whose bequest to the city of certain funds was the foundation of the City of London School. It was perplexing, one would think, to have two sons in the same family of the same name, but it was a common practice, even when both were living. The younger was called Junior, sometimes Jenkin. John, Sr., was one of the executors of John, Jr.'s, will, and was men- tioned in the will, as well as another brother, Robert, who was given "one of those two silver gilt cups with a lid which Thomas Knolle gave me." Robert was also an execu- tor.
(IV) John Carpenter, son of John Carpen- ter (3), left little record.

He came to America in the ship "Bevis," in May, 1638, together with his son William, his son's wife
Abigail, and their four children. All were Dissenters, or Puritans, and obliged to leave London. He returned to England in the same ship on the return voyage for some un- known reason, and spent the remainder of his days in England. He lived at Wherwell.
