schools, and remained at home to assist his father on the farm. He was just of age when his father died, and at that time he took charge of the farm, which he inherited.

He was a deacon of the Dracut church, of which his grandfather was deacon for so many years. He was originally a Whig in politics, but his anti-slavery sentiments led him into the Free Soil party, and after the Republican party was formed he became a faithful sup- porter of its principles and candidates. In 1840 he and his five brothers voted for Gen- eral William H. Harrison ; in 1888, nearly half a century later, five of the six voted for his grandson, General Benjamin Harrison, for president. A photograph of these venerable brothers, taken when they were all past eighty years of age, in a group as they stood by the window of the old house in which all were born, is a valued heirloom of the Hovey fam- ily. He was town clerk six years ; town treas- urer three years. One of the treasured heir- looms in the homestead at Dracut is the tall clock of Thomas Hovey (6), made soon after the year 1700 by Nathaniel Mulliken of Lex- ington who died in 1767.

DIMAN This surname is variously spell- ed in the early records of Diman, Dimon, Demon, Dement, Dem- ing, Dymond, Diamond, Dyamont, 'Dimond, Deamond, Diaman, Dimiond, and doubtless in a score of other ways that suggested them- selves to the keepers of records and makers of deeds. John Diman, one of the immigrants, settled in Lynn, Massachusetts, before 1647, and removed to Kittery, Maine. Thomas Di- man, ancestor of most of the Connecticut line, spelled his name usually with a final "D."
John Demon or Diman, was a settler at Wethersfield, Connecticut, brother of Thomas, mentioned below, before 1635 and was one of the chief settlers; was a representative very often from 1649 to 1661; was named in the charter of 1662; married Honor Treat, daugh- ter of Richard Treat, and has a numerous pos- terity in New England.

He married, July 24, 1645, Mary Sheafe. He was in Southampton in 1655 and 1658, appearing in court for assault and threatening divers persons. His name was there spelled Diament. He was in Easthampton before November 12, 1663, when he bought all the lands of John Hand in that town. He was then called "senior" in the rec- ords. His home lot in Easthampton contained thirteen acres adjoining Stephen Hand's lot on the south, the common on the west, and on the north a highway made of land bought of the said John Hand. He owned divers other parcels of land also. His name in this record is spelled Diamon and Diament, also Dyament. He died in 1683 and the court of sessions, sit- ting at Southampton, Long Island, on the seventh, eighth and ninth days of March, 1683, accepted as his will four deeds of gift dispos- ing of his estate. The first, dated August 21, 1677, recites a proposed marriage between his son James and Hannah, daughter of Min- ister James, and the grantor binds himself to the Minister James to convey certain lands to the son to be enjoyed by him after the death of the grantor and his wife. The second, dated December 27, 1680, gives to same son furni- ture and personal property. The third, dated July 28, 1682, recites the death of youngest son John and gives James additional real es- tate, charging him and grantor's wife Mary to pay small legacies to daughters, Sarah Head- ly, of New Jersey, Abigail, Hannah Bird, Ruth Dayton and Elizabeth Miller. The fourth in- strument, also dated July 28, 1682, calls the grantor Thomas Dyment, Sr., and recites that having given the house and land at Georgia to his youngest son Thomas at marriage, this deed conveys other land to take effect at the death of grantor and wife. After his death the estate was settled by agreement signed by the widow, Minister James and Edward How- ell. Children: I. James, mentioned below.

PICKARD The name of Pickard is of French origin. In Mark An- thony Sower's book on Eng- lish surnames, Vol. I, page 5, is the following : "I love you," said Edward IV to some of the family of Pickard, "but not your name," whereupon they adopted others. The name Pickard may be found in Hollingshed's Copy of the Roll of Battle Abbey, which contains the names of those who came over to England with William the Conqueror in the year 1066. From the following extract copied from the Institution books in the will office at York, England, it appears that the name was in Yorkshire prior to 1621. "2Ist of February 1621-2 Ezekiel Rogers, Clerk, was installed to the Rector of Rowley, void by the death of Henry Pickard, Clerk, on the nomination of Sir Francis Benington, Baronet." The afore- said Ezekiel Rogers was the same person who in 1638 came to New England, with a com-
pany, and in 1639 settled in Rowley, so called in commemoration of the town of Rowley, in Yorkshire, England, where he had preached during the previous seventeen years. In Madame Guion's "Life and Experience," vol. 2, page 190, she mentions under date of July 7, 1695, one of her teachers as Madame Fran- ces Elizabeth L. Pickard.
(I) John Pickard, the immigrant ancestor of the Hon. Edward L. Pickard, was born 1628, possibly a son of the Rev. Henry Pick- ard, aforementioned. There is reason to be- lieve that he came from Rowley Regis, a town in Staffordshire, England, five miles west of Birmingham, with the Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, in 1638, as a member of his family, and set- tled on the plantation which on September 4, 1639, was established by Mr. Rogers as the town of Rowley, Essex county, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Mr. Pickard was well educated, possessed some property, was evidently of a good family, and was an influential member of society. He married, May 27, 1644, Jane Crosby, daughter of Dr. Anthony Crosby, a "Chirurgeon," of Rowley. He was then twen- ty-two years of age and she eighteen. The widow of Dr. Crosby became the wife of the Rev. Mr. Cotton, the English Puritan pastor of the first church in Boston, organized 1630; he was born 1585, died 1652; he was called "the patriarch of New England." Children of John and Jane (Crosby) Pickard: I. Debor- ah, born October 13, 1646, died young. 2. Mary, married, February 14, 1670, John Pear-
son. 3. Rebecca. 4. John, born March I, 1653, married (first), February II, 1679, Sar- ah Smith; (second), March 5, 1691, Joanna Bishop. 5. Sarah, born January 31, 1658. 6. Anna, born February 15, 1659, married, March 22, 1681-82, Aaron Pengry. 7. Cap- tain Samuel, born May 16, 16-, see forward. 8. Jane, born April 22, 1666, married, No- vember 6, 1684, Edward Hazen. 9. Hannah, born April 10, 1670, married, July 19, 1686, Moses Broadstreet. Either Sarah or Rebecca married Thomas Hammond, who died Febru- ary 26, 1724-28, and either Sarah or Rebecca married Solomon Phips. John Pickard, the father of these children, died September 24, 1683 ; Jane, his widow, died February 9, 1716, aged ninety. His will was signed and sealed September 6, 1683, proved November 27, 1683, and his estate was valued at one thousand two hundred and seventy-nine pounds, two shillings and four pence.
