arms of that family. The other son, Ward Nicholas Hallowell, took his mother's name of Boylston, and inherited his father's and moth- er's estate. He made the tour of Europe, Asia and Africa, and returned to Boston in 1800, and died at his residence at Roxbury, Janu- ary 7, 1828. He was one of the executors of his uncle Thomas Boylston's will. Ward Nicholas Boylston took an active interest in the schools of Roxbury and Boston, and made valuable donations to Harvard College. Among these gifts was the money for the erection of Boylston Hall. One of the Boston schools was named for him, also Boylston Street and Boylston Market, in Boston, and Boylston Street in Roxbury. He received four thousand pounds by his uncle Nicholas Boylston's will 1771. 6. Nathaniel, born March 21, 1724. He was remembered by his brother Nicholas in his will. 7.

(IV) Captain Edward Boylston, son of Dudley and Elizabeth (Gardner) Boylston, was born January 2, 1737-8, in Brookline, Massachusetts, and died in Springfield, Mass- achusetts, December 25, 1813. He served an apprenticeship to the wheelwright business when he was a boy, then followed the sea several years as a sailor, and afterwards fol- lowed his trade in Boston, until the breaking out of the revolutionary war, when he became a devoted patriot. In 1775 he entered the service as captain of a company of artificers and engineers. He was at first stationed about Boston, but afterwards in New York. and in 1777 at Peekskill. When on his way to visit his wife, who was seriously ill at Elizabeth- town, New Jersey, he was taken prisoner by a detachment of British troops and incarcerated in the famous Jersey prison-ship where many American prisoners met their fate from the cruel treatment received there. He was after- wards removed to the Livingston Sugar House, which, with the old Dutch Church ad- joining, was occupied as prison houses where cruelty, unparalleled sufferings, disease and death were the portion of their inmates. He survived the inhuman . treatment received there, and eventually was released and

exchanged. His health was greatly broken,
but after a severe and long continued illness he returned to the government service and served his country faithfully to the close of the war. During the last part of the time he was stationed at Springfield, and was occupied in overseeing the construction of the apparatus for mount- ing the ordnance and preparing it for the use of the army at the arsenal there. At the close of his seven years' service he was paid in Con- tinental paper money which was of little value. About 1790 he was again employed in the United States arsenal at Springfield in mount- ing cannon for future use. His first wife, who was Catherine Burdett, died while he was in the prison, and he married for his second wife Lydia Worthington, of Springfield, Mass- achusetts, daughter of Samuel and Lydia (Bostwick) Worthington. He was a leading man in Springfield, and connected with some of the first families. Children of Captain Ed- ward and Catherine ( Burdett) Boylston were : I. Edward, born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, settled in Manlius, New York. 2. Elizabeth, born 1776, married Jasper Wood, and lived in Sandusky, Ohio. Children by the second wife, Lydia Worthington: 3. Richard, born August 12, 1782; see forward. 4. Zabdiel, born 1784. He followed the sea for some years, was second lieutenant on an American privateer in the War of 1812, and was cap- tured and confined in the famous Dartmoor prison in England. After sometime at sea he settled down in New Orleans ; he died Feb- ruary 15, 1855. 5. Catherine, born 1785, died in 1810. 6. Samuel, born 1786, died August 13, 1863. He lived in Springfield, Massachu- setts.
(V) Richard Boylston, son of Captain Ed- ward and Lydia (Worthington) Boylston, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, Au- gust 12, 1782. His opportunity for education was very limited, being put out at the age of twelve years as an apprentice to the printing business in the office of the Federal Spy, at Springfield, where he worked for five years. In April, 1800, he went to Boston and entered the office of the old Columbian Centinel, under Major Benjamin Russell, and continued until August 12, 1803, and then at the age of twen- ty-one graduated as a freeman and a regular workman in the "art preservative of all arts." His work as a compositor was not confined to newspaper offices, but he set type for Johnson's Dictionary, Morse's Geography, Watt's Psalms and Hymns, Pike's Arithmetic
and other books. For some time he had wish- ed to enlarge his sphere of activity and strike out for himself, but did not have the money with which to start business. At length an opportunity came for him to go to Amherst, New Hampshire. Joseph Cushing of that place invited him to take charge of his printing establishment and his newspaper, The Farmer's Cabinet, while he made arrangements to ex- tend his business and add the manufacture and publishing of books. He accepted the offer and went to Amherst, May 12, 1809, when he was twenty-seven years old. But the situation soon changed. Mr. Cushing de- cided to go to Baltimore to start business there on a larger scale, and he offered The Farmer's Cabinet, his whole printing estab- lishment and book store, for sale on such favorable terms, that Mr. Boylston decided to accept the proposition. The price was about $3,000, and he had but twenty dollars in hand, but by indefatigable industry and economy within about two years he paid nearly all the indebtedness, and was well started on a very successful career. His predecessor with Mr. Cushing was Isaac Hill, who had just gradu- ated from the office of the Farmer's Cabinet and had gone to Concord, New Hampshire, to take charge of the New Hampshire Patriot, and subsequently became governor of the state of New Hampshire.
In his "Autobiography," Richard Boylston said nothing about entertaining any aspira- tions for becoming an editor. It does not ap- pear that he imitated Franklin and wrote for the Columbian Centinel, but like him he had great courage, industry and frugality, and the sagacity to seize an opportunity when it came. It may seem strange that a newspaper should be started over one hundred years ago in a little country town, away from any leading thoroughfare of travel, and that it should prove a success. But there were only two other similar publications in the state. Am- herst was the shire town of Hillsborough coun- ty. It was the centre of social life and busi- ness thrift for southern . New Hampshire. Manchester and Nashua had practually no ex- istence at that time. Keene was the nearest town where there was much business activity, and Portsmouth was the only town that sur- passed it. In 1849, after having published the Farmer's Cabinet for forty years, he turn- ed over the active management of the paper to his son Edward D. Boylston, but retained the position of senior editor. As a citizen he was interested in everything that promoted its

prosperity, but declined public office except that he accepted the position of representa- tive to the legislature, and served in 1844, '45 and '46 with much credit to himself and satis- faction to his constituents. He was a director in the Bank and Insurance Company, and jus- tice of the peace. In 1852 Dartmouth College gave him the honorary degree of A. M. He was held in high esteem by the editors of the leading papers of the state. Buckingham, in his personal memoirs and account of the old printers, wrote in very complimentary terms of Richard Boylston. Among other things he said, that "by his industry and frugality Mr. Boylston accumulated a handsome fortune, and within a few years by a windfall another fortune fell to him." He died in Amherst, July 19, 1857. He married August 2, 1810, Mary Moseley, daughter of David and Eliz- abeth Moseley, of Boston. She was born August II, 1783, and died November 5, 1866. Children of Richard and Mary (Moseley) Boylston : I. Elizabeth Worthington, born May 16, 18II; married William G. Eaton, of Boston, June, 1832; died at Newton Centre, Massachusetts, February 18, 1881. 2. Ed- ward Dudley, born January 26, 1814; see for- ward. 3. Mary Christina Baker, born Novem- ber 10, 1815. 4. Richard Worthington, born 1819, died November 13, 1845. 5. Catherine Moseley, born June 19, 1820, died October 13, 1882, unmarried. 6. Lucy Frances, born Feb- ruary 18, 1825, died February 18, 1900.
(VI) Edward Dudley Boylston, son of Richard and Mary (Moseley) Boylston, was born January 26, 1814, at Amherst, New Hampshire. His primary education was ob- tained at the schools of Amherst. In the fall of 1828, at the age of fourteen, he was a stu- dent at Francestown Academy, then under the principalship of Benjamin Labbaree, subse- quently the honored president of Middlebury College. Later he went to Pinkerton Acad- emy, Derry, then under preceptor Abel F. Hil- dreth. He was a close student there for three years. His father wanted him to go to col- lege, but he declined the opportunity and de- cided to go to Boston and enter mercantile business, in which some of the earlier Boyls- tons met with such success. For four months he served in a Boston store, but found his tasks so severe and profitless that he was glad to return to his father's printing office.
In the great religious revival of 1835 he became interested and converted, and decided that he would study for the ministry. With this purpose in view, in the fall of 1835 he
left the printing office and entered New Ips- wich Academy for a further training in the languages, and remained there for nearly two years and devoted himself so closely to his studies and took so much interest and respon- sibility for the religious education of the stu- dents that he broke down in health and had to return home to rest. In October, 1837, he en- tered the junior class of Gilmanton (New Hampshire) Theological Seminary, to prepare for the ministry. After some interruption he resumed his theological studies at the Andover Theological Seminary in February, 1839, but in a short time an affection of the eyes devel- oped so as to preclude all study and necessi- tated giving up his student life. After he had recovered his health he concluded to return to his father's office and devote himself to the Farmer's Cabinet, and make journalism his life work. On January 3, 1840, he was an- nounced as the junior and acting editor, and his father as proprietor and senior editor. In the spring of 1843 an opening occurred in the rapidly growing village of Manchester, New Hampshire, whither some Amherst men had gone ; but after about a year's experience there he closed his newspaper enterprise, and in January, 1844, started a paper in Great Falls, New Hampshire, but it soon "went to the wall." He made some pleasant acquaintances and obtained some new experience, but lost money by both ventures, and returned to his native town and the Farmer's Cabinet a wiser man. Thereafter he devoted his time to news- paper work in the old town. He found the sit- uation somewhat changed. Even in the fifties there were many competitors in the newspaper field. Amherst had lost its unique position, and was overshadowed by larger towns, but the Farmer's Cabinet remained true to its mis- sion and its history. It was his aim to make it indispensible to every household whatever the political or religious belief, same as was true of "Leavitts Farmer's Almanac,", that was started about the same time.
Mr Boylston was more than an editor and publisher of a newspaper he was a public spir- ited man, and took a deep interest in whatever would contribute to the public good, national, state, or local. While he did not bid for polit- ical preferment, he had an opinion as to men and measures. He served in many commit- tees, and in town offices, and was for many years a deacon in the church. He was a stu- dent, and was also practical and could discuss the leading subjects of the day on the plat- form as well as in the columns of his paper.
814

He was also a poet, as appears in his "Sketch of a Busy Life." If his father was essentially the founder of the paper, he held it to its old-time loyalty to all good movements and measures. It has been a beacon light for four generations, or more than a hundred years, and has been edited and published by the Boylston Family for ninety-nine years.
Mr. Boylston died in Amherst, March 22, 1895. He married (first) Mercy Plummer Perkins, daughter of William and Nancy (Reed) Perkins, August 12, 1841. She was born March 16, 1818, and died December 29, 1880; married second, Josephine E. Stayner, of Amherst, March 26, 1891. Children of Ed- ward Dudley and Mercy Plummer (Perkins) Boylston : I. Helen Reed, born in Great Falls, May 24, 1842, married Albert A. Rotch. In 1869 Mr. Rotch became assistant editor of the Cabinet, and remained in that position until his death in 1890. His son, William Boylston Rotch, bought the Farmer's Cabinet in 1891 and removed it to Milford, New Hampshire, where he continues its editor and publisher. 2. Abby Frances, born in Great Falls, July 14, 1845, married Henry C. Dodge ; he died July, 1902. 3. David C. Moseley, born in Amherst, January 8, 1847, died at Athol, Massachusetts, October 22, 1872. He had entered upon a successful business career but died of typhoid fever after a short illness. 4. Emma Perkins, born in Amherst, June 8, 1855; see forward.
(VII) Emma Perkins Boylston, daughter of Edward Dudley and Mercy Plummer ( Per- kins) Boylston, born June 8, 1855, at Amherst, married Edwin F. Locke, October 26, 1880. (See Locke Genealogy). She is a member of the New Hampshire Daughters of Boston ; of the old South Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution; president of the Med- ford Home for Aged Men and Women; and of the Bradford Academy Club of Boston.

Nicholas Holt, immigrant ances- tor, was born in England, in
1602, and was called of "Rom- sey," when he left England. He sailed in the ship "James," of London, April 6, 1635, from Southampton, and reached Boston on June 3, 1635. He was a tanner by trade. His wife and at least one child came with him. He was one of the first settlers of Newbury, Mass- achusetts. His four-acre home lot there was between the homestalls of Edward Rawson and Archelaus Woodman. In 1637 he was one of ten Newbury men who were so determined to vote against Sir Harry Vane for governor that they made the journey to Cambridge on foot to take the freeman's oath and qualify as voters. They were admitted freemen May 17, 1637, and supported Winthrop at the sub- sequent election. He was fined February 23, 1638, for being absent from town meeting. Those were the days of compulsory voting. In 1644 he removed to Andover, and was one of the six original settlers. His house was on Stony Plain, where he had fifteen acres of land, besides one hundred and sixty acres of meadow and three hundred and sixty acres in other parcels. By order of the town he and Sergeant Marshall laid out the road leading from Reading to Andover. He filled many positions of trust and honor.
