He was by trade a blacksmith and maker of edge tools. His handwriting and spelling give evidence of an unusually good education. A fac-simile of a letter that he wrote in 1763 is printed in the "History of Durham" (page 13). He was chosen agent of the proprietors of the grant that was afterwards Durham, Maine. He had two hundred acres of land, which remained in the Gerrish family for nearly a century, occupied lately by Willard Sylvester. The first house was taken down many years ago. It stood on the hillside east of the old two-story unpainted house that suc- ceeded it. This is one of the oldest houses in Durham, and remains in the style in which it was originally built over a century ago. The square chimney in the centre, with rooms built around it, was something enormous. Here may be seen one of the old fireplaces that took in eight-foot sticks of wood. The partitions are of upright pine boards, some of them two feet wide. The burial place of Major Gerrish was near the first house. No trace of it can now be seen, since the ground

Lieutenant Joseph French (1), born in England, in 1649, was living in the town of Concord,
Masachusetts Bay Colony, in 1674. He served as a selectman of the town of Concord in 1689, and in 1699 he was a member of the committee to locate the boundary line between the towns of Billerica and Concord, which line was established June 27, (O. S.) 1701. He was one of the original members of the town and church established at Bedford, and set off from the towns of Concord and Biller- ica, September 23, 1729. He was a farmer, and his town lot, or farm, was located in the southwesterly part of the new town of Bed- ford, near the Concord line. His residence was one of prominence in the community, strongly built, and occupying a commanding position, and on this account it was used as a garrison house at which the neighbors met on the approach of hostile Indians, especially when the men were away from home conduct- ing regular military warfare against the In- dians. This historic home was destroyed in September, 1815, in the terrible gale that visited the locality. Joseph French married January 2, 1672, Elizabeth Knight, of Con- cord, and, through their son Jonathan, Sam- uel Wales French is connected with this im- migrant ancestor.
(II) Jonathan French, son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Knight) French, was born in Bed- ford, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, May 8, 1690. He married Elizabeth and in 1732 was living with his family in Shrews- bury, Worcester county, Massachusetts, that town having been established December 6, 1720, and was one of the frontier towns en- dowed with equal rights and powers as other towns in the province of Massachusetts Bay, December 19, 1727. About 1750 he is re- corded as a freeman of the town of Hollis,

New Hampshire. Jonathan and Elizabeth French had children, including one son John.
(III) John French, son of Jonathan and Elizabeth French, was born in Bedford, Mid- dlesex county, Massachusetts, May 17, 1727. He married Mary Whitcomb, of Bolton (born June 19, 1730), probably about 1750, and after his marriage settled in Hollis, New Hampshire, where his father migrated about the same time and where his children were born. In March, 1775, he removed with his family to Packersfield, New Hampshire, (the place being subsequently known as the town of Nelson), and after living in that place about ten years removed to Dublin, New Hamp- shire. His son, William French, was killed at the battle of Bunker Hill, June 19, 1775. It is through his son Whitcomb that we trace the direct descent from Lieutenant Joseph to Samuel Wales French.
(IV) Whitcomb French, son of John and Mary (Whitcomb) French, was born in Hol- lis, New Hampshire, October 26, 1767. He married Sally Patrick, of Fitchburg, Massa- chusetts, October 9, 1793.

He carried on a farm in Dublin and Nelson, New Hampshire, up to 1822, when he removed to Jaffrey, New Hampshire, and engaged in the stage busi- ness. In October, 1827, he became stage agent at Keene, New Hampshire, for lines to Boston by way of Keene and Fitzwilliam, he having acquired an interest by ownership in each line. In 1832 he sold a greater part of his stage interests, and removed to Fitzwill- iam, where he owned and kept the Fitzwill- iam Hotel. In 1833 he established a new hotel in Peterborough, New Hampshire, which he finally purchased, and in 1834 he purchased a farm at Peterborough which he cultivated in connection with his hotel busi- ness. He sold his hotel in 1849 to his son Henry K. French, and shortly after retired from business. He died in Peterboro, New Hampshire, May 31, 1882.
(VI) Marshall Whitcomb French, son of Whitcomb, Jr., and Mary (Kendall) French, was born in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, Sep- tember 4, 1827. He was educated in the pub- lic school of Peterboro, and at the age of seventeen engaged as a clerk in a general merchandise store in Palmer, Massachusetts, and subsequently established a business in which he was a partner, under the firm name of Nichols & French, changed subsequently to Nichols, French & Tinkham, general country merchants. He sold out his interest in the business about 1869, and organized the Palmer Savings Bank, and was made its first treasurer. He also helped in the organization of the Palmer National Bank in 1875, and was president of the bank at its foundation. He was married, January 10, 1855, to Elizabeth Thomas, daughter of Royal Porter and Eudotia (Hitchcock) Wales, of Wales, (before 1828, South Brimfield), Hampden county, Massachusetts.

(VIII) Samuel Wales French, son of Mar- shall Whitcomb and Elizabeth Thomas (Wales) French, was born in Palmer, Hamp- den county, Massachusetts, May 12, 1857. He was fitted for college at the Hitchcock Academy, Brimfield, Massachusetts, and commenced his business life as bookkeeper in the Palmer Savings Bank, of which his father was treasurer, when about nineteen years of age. He afterwards entered the Palmer Na- tional Bank as a clerk, was promoted to the position first of assistant cashier and then of cashier. He was also made a director of the Palmer National Bank, of which his father was president, and he was president and treasurer of the Palmer Wire Company, and president of the Young Men's Library Asso- ciation, and treasurer and trustee of St. Paul's Universalist church. He removed to New- tonville, where his father resided, in 1886, and engaged in the wholesale clothing business in Boston. He was cashier of the First National Bank of Peterborough, New Hampshire, 1890-96, and in 1896 returned to Newtonville to assume the office of secretary and treas- urer of the newly established Newtonville Trust Company, of which John W. Weeks is president. He has served as treasurer of the Newton Club for five vears, and as treasurer and a trustee of the Newtonville Universalist Church. He is a member of the Unitarian Club, of the Men's Universalist Club, of the
STEARNS COAT OF ARMS

Brae Burn Country Club, and of the Central Club of the Central Congregational Church.
He was married (first), June 5, 1878, to Annie Amelia, daughter of Dr. George F. and Harriet (Lyon) Chamberlain, of Brimfield, Massachusetts. She died December, 1879, and he was married (second) June 28, 1883, to Emma Melphia, daughter of Charles W. and Betsey (Whitney) Weller of Winchendon. Charles W. Weller was a private in Company I, Twenty-fifth Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment, for nine months in 1861-62, having been discharged for disability after nine months service in the field.
Mrs. French through her mother, Betsey (Whitney) Weller, is a direct descendant from John and Elinor Whitney, the first of the name in New England, natives of Ips- wich, England, who sailed from London, England, in 1635, and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony, and were the par- ents of nine children: Mary, John, Richard, Nathaniel, Thomas, Jonathan, Joshua, Caleb and Benjamin Whitney. The known ances- try of John Whitney, of Ipswich, England, runs back through English history, and in- cluded knights, earls, barons, dukes, kings, both English and Scottish and Norman, in- cluding Henry II, of England (1154-1189): William the Conqueror, and Edmund Iron- sides, the last of the Saxon Kings. The Whit- neys in Watertown built established homes, and one of their residences still stands near Kendall Green, Weston, and there are other Whitney houses in both Watertown and Westminster in excellent state of preserva- tion. Mrs. French is a musician of rare ability, and has been a singer of wide range, filling positions of importance in church, concert and operatic work. As a teacher she has laid the foundation of a number of fine voices in different parts of the state.
Mr. French is a director of the Newton Co-operative Bank, and a member of the Royal Arcanum organized in Boston, June 23, 1872. His daughter, Alice Chamberlain French, married, 1902, F. Lincoln Peirce, a lawyer, of Boston, Massachusetts, and resides at 38 Bowers street, Newtonville; and his son, Robert W. French, was graduated at Boston University School of Medicine, in 1907, and is serving an appointment in the Homoeo- pathic Hospital in Boston. Dr. French is a member of several college fraternities, and expects to make a specialty of surgery.
