In 1834 the profits of the farm were shared with David and his brother Isaac. In 1835 David, then twenty-five years of age, wishing to be married, his mother willingly gave him the privilege of occupying one-half of the homestead, and October 1, 1835, he was mar- ried to Caroline Homer, of Boston, born Feb- ruary 28, 1811, died March 14, 1855, daugh- ter of David and Sukey (Glover ) Homer. Here in the old homestead David and his wife lived until the birth of their second child, David. He then purchased a lot on Common street, containing ten acres, where he erected the buildings which constituted his home and


fireside during the remainder of his days, and where his daughters, Caroline and Emma, now reside. This land was contiguous to the land belonging to his father, and at the death of his father became a part of his share in the estate. David Chenery was a very indus- trious man, a practical farmer, progressive in his methods. Like his father he had no de- sire to hold any public office in the gift of his townspeople, yet he kept in touch by constant reading with the affairs of the nation and the world at large, and felt like many of his neigh- bors that to attend to the affairs of his own farm and family was the first and highest duty of a citizen. The division of his native town- ship of Watertown leaving him in the new town of Belmont, changed somewhat his affil- iations with the town officials and his church, but did not change his principles, which re- mained the same as he had been taught in his youth. At his decease his property became the property of his son George, who had al- ways remained with him.


David and Caroline (Homer ) Chenery were the parents of eight children, two of whom died in infancy, and the remainder grew to maturity. Mrs. Chenery died March 14, 1855, when Caroline, the eldest daughter, was about fifteen years of age, and consequently from that time, with the aid of a housekeeper, she became the caretaker of the family. George, aforementioned, erected a fine house and sta- ble near his father's house; he was a member of the Unitarian church and of the Masonic order; his life was comparatively short and his wife did not long survive him.


(VIII) David Chenery, Jr., second son of David Chenery (7), was born on the old homestead in Watertown, now Belmont, Massachusetts, July 3, 1838. He attended the common schools of his native town, and worked on his father's farm. When a young man he went with his uncle, Charles Homer, who was a supervisor for a Boston firm on a merchant vessel bound for Gibraltar. On his return he stopped at New Orleans and made his way up the Mississippi river to Illi- nois, where he was engaged for a season at farming, but returned home previous to the civil war. He enlisted in Company A, Thir- teenth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and until called into active duty was stationed at Fort Independence, Boston har- bor. He served three years and participated in many battles; while at Bull Run, serving as standard bearer for his company; and was wounded in the thigh at the battle of Antie-

tam, and fell trailing the colors in the dust. While his comrades were bearing him from the field to a place of safety he was again shot near the first wound. During the conflict he lay bleeding until the surgeons came to his aid. They would have probed to remove the bullets, but he protested saying he would pre- fer to have them remain than be butchered like many of his comrades had been. He often feels a serious effect from them for they still lie embedded in his person.


On his return from the war he married, in 1863, and removed to Illinois, where he pur- chased a farm and remained some years, but later returned to his native town in Massachu- setts. For several years he was employed as superintendent of highways, occupying the house erected for the homeless. When the Grant estate, which joined his father's farm was offered for sale, his father purchased it, and after repairing the buildings gave it to his son, David, Jr., which is still his home. He is a prosperous market gardener, and his son Franklin W. is associated with him as salesman of the farm products. Mr. Chenery is a Uni- tarian in religion, a Republican in politics, and a member of the Grand Amy of the Republic, of Francis Gould Post, No. 36, Arlington.


Mr. Chenery married, July 18, 1863, Flora C. Pierce, of Watertown, born November 17, 1845, daughter of Jonathan and Saphronia (Underwood) Pierce. Children: I. Mabel Young, born October 30, 1864, died October 5, 1866. 2. Gertrude Adele, born September 25, 1867; married, November 6, 1889, Charles William Benjamin, of Watertown, Massachu- setts, child, Harold Chenery, born June 30, 1891. 3. Nella Carrie, born November 30, 1869. 4. Florence, born December 24, 1873; married April 23, 1903, Edwin Emery Farn- ham, of Cambridge, Massachusetts ; children : Caroline, born March 15, 1904; Edwin, born November 20, 1905. 5. Franklin Winthrop, born March 16, 1875. 6. Howard, born No- vember 15, 1876, died in infancy.


(VIII) Franklin Winthrop Chenery, son of David Chenery (7), was born January 21, 1843, on the old homestead in Watertown, now Belmont, Massachusetts. He was rear- ed on his father's farm, and educated in the common schools of Watertown. He enlisted in Company G, Forty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteers, during the civil war, and after his return was for a time employed by his cousin, John P. Farmer, in a market on Howard Square, Cambridge. He died unmarried, May 2, 1872.


(VIII) Henry Chenery, youngest son of David Chenery (7), was born on the old homestead at Watertown, now Belmont, Massachusetts, July 20, 1849. After leaving school he went to Florida to settle, but re- mained only a short time, removing to Ore- gon, near Portland, where he purchased a farm and conducted it, together with duties as janitor of a school during the winter months. Owing to ill health he returned to his father's home, where he died July 19, 1883.


John Lathrop, the American LATHROP .immigrant and progenitor of the Lathrop family in New England, was pastor of the First Independent Church in London, England, and came from Egerton, Kent, England, in 1634, and was the first minister of the church established at Scituate, Plymouth Colony, July 1, 1633, and on the founding of the town of Barnstable on the Cape, March 5, 1638, became minister of the church at that place and where he died in 1653.


His descendant in the fifth generation was the Rev. John Lathrop, who was graduated at the College of New Jersey, Master of Arts 1766, Harvard, Bachelor of Arts, 1763, (ad eum.) 1768, S. T. D. Edinburg 1785; was minister of the Second Church, Boston, Mass- achusetts, 1768-1816, and a fellow of Harvard College 1778-1816. His son, John Lathrop, was graduated at Harvard, Bachelor of Arts 1789, Master of Arts 1792, and died 1820. Dr. George Alfred Lathrop and his sons Francis Lathrop, the artist, and George Par- sons Lathrop, the author; the Rev. John T. Lathrop, son of Job Lathrop (of Harvard 1789) and father of John Lathrop, the distin- guished jurist of Boston; the Rev. Joseph Lathrop (1731-1820) of Springfield, Massa- chusetts, state senator and representative in the United States Congress 1819-27, were of the same progenitors.


Elias Lathrop, father of Rufus Lathrop, was born in Vermont, in 1763, and died in 1831. He married Betsey Bohanan and their eight children were, named in the order of their birth: Chauncey, Walter, Betsey, Al- fred, Hiram, Warren, Lodicia and Rufus.


Rufus Lathrop was born at Vershire, Orange county, Vermont, March, 1801, and died there March 18, 1878. He was a shoe- maker, and at an early age removed to South Weymouth, Suffolk county, Massachusetts, where he worked at his trade for several

years. He married Ruth Shaw, of South Weymouth, in September, 1832. Ruth Shaw was born June 6, 1800, and died in 1871. Their six children were: I. Mary Sophia Lathrop, (q. v.). 2. Daniel Webster Lathrop, born 1834. 3. Isaac Newton Lathrop, born 1838, died 1863, while in the army. 4. Mar- tha Ann Lathrop. 5. Hiram Gordon La- throp, born 1842, died in the service of his country during the civil war in 1862. 5. Lu- cinda Lathrop, died in childhood. Rufus Lathrop was a man greatly beloved by his neighbors in Vershire, Vermont; given to charitable work to the extent of his means and opportunities; and a faithful citizen of the commonwealth.


Mary Sophia Lathrop, the eldest child of Rufus and Ruth (Shaw) Lathrop, was born in Vershire, Orange county, Vermont, Janu- ary 6, 1833, and became devoted to the care of a large family of brothers and sisters, and to charitable work. She removed to Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1868, and was attached to the First Baptist Church, subsequently to the Adventists in that city, in charitable and religious work, principally among the needy and unfortunate foreigners attracted to the city by the demand for women and girls to work in the large cotton and woolen mills. Her sister, Martha Ann Lathrop, married Cyrus Hosmer, and was his fourth wife. This marriage proving to be uncongenial, Mrs. Hosmer went to live at the home of her sis- ter Mary Sophia Lathrop.


The surname Slade is derived SLADE from a place-name meaning valley, hollow, den, hanging woody plain, breadth of green land in fields and plantations. It was in use as a surname as early as 1200 and the name of de la Slade occurs in the Hundred Rolls of the thirteenth century. The coat-of-arms of the Slade fam- ily of Trevennen in Gorran, county Cornwall, in the time of Queen Elizabeth: Argent three nags' heads erased sable a chief gules. An- other form: Gules a fesse ermine between three nags heads coupled and looking to the dexter argent maned sable. Crest-A lion's gamb erased holding three ostrich feathers. The Slade family of Maunsell House, county Somerset, England: Per fesse argent and sable a pale counterchanged and three horses' heads erased two and one of the second a chief ermine thereon two bombs fired proper. Crest -On a mount vert a horse's head erased


sable encircled with a chain in form of an arch or. Motto: Fidus et Audax. All three of the foregoing are sufficiently alike to indi- date the same origin. The Slade family of Ireland bears arms : Or fretty gules on a chief of the last three trefoils slipped of the first. Crest a lion's head erased gules, pierced with an arrow proper.


(I) William Slade, the immigrant ances- tor, was probably born in Ireland, of Protest- ant stock, not Scotch-Irish, but possibly Eng- lish originally. He came to New England, however, from the Isle of Great Britain. He settled in Connecticut, it is supposed, as his family is found there, but little is to be learn- ed of him from the records. His son used the Junior as late as 1747, so that there is ground for believing that William, Sr., was living near Windsor, Connecticut, at that time. He married Thankful Hutchinson. Among his children were: I. William, Jr., settled in Windsor and had children there in 1747 and later. 2. James, settled in Windsor and had children there from 1751 to 1765. 3. John, mentioned below. 4. Samuel, killed while unloading wood.


(II) John Slade, son of William Slade (I), was born about 1725, died at Alstead, New Hampshire, March 17, 1797, aged seventy- two years. He married, at Windsor, Connec- ticut, September 12, 1751, Martha Abby Glea- son, widow, who died at Alstead, New Hamp- shire, August 22, 1795, aged sixty-nine years. After the birth of the two older children they removed to Enfield, Connecticut, where the remainder of them were born. In the autumn of 1773 they removed to Alstead, New Hamp- shire, where he and his four sons cleared a tract of land, and he became a prosperous farmer. He lies buried in the family burying ground on the top of a high hill in Alstead. He was in the French and Indian war in 1759 under General Phineas Lyman in the company of Captain Giles Wolcott, while he was living in Enfield. He was in the Revolu- tion in Captain Jeremiah Stiles's company, Col- onel Paul Dudley Sargent's regiment, August I, 1775, at the siege of Boston. (p. 285 V. XIV. Mass. Soldiers and Sailors). Children : I. John, born at Windsor, Connecticut, June IO, 1752; settled finally at Brookfield, Ver- mont. 2. Martha, born in Windsor, drowned when ten years old. 3.

At an early age he re- moved with his parents to Alstead, where he made his home for the remainder of his life. He and his three brothers remained upon the land on which their father settled and became prominent men in the town. They were well- to-do farmers, their residences being about fifty rods apart. They were hard working men of strict and regular habits, using tobacco and spirits in moderation. In politics they never agreed, and were never known to vote alike. Samuel was an ardent Democrat. Their reli- gious views were also entirely different, and yet such was their tolerant and kindly disposi- tion, that while they scarcely ever agreed upon any matter, they were never known to use hard or unkind words, and lived always in peace with each other. Samuel was in the Revolution, in Captain Salter's company of artillery at Fort Washington, November 5, 1775, and in 1776; also in Captain George Turner's company, Major Hackett's regiment in 1776. July 26, 1779, the selectmen of Alstead paid the soldiers of Colonel Mooney's regiment, of which he was one, in colonial money. He was in his usual health until about four weeks before his death, when he fell and broke his hip, from which accident he never recovered.

He was brought up on the farm and at an early age learned the trade of tinsmith, which he followed for a number of years. His shop was near the centre of the town and he did a good business. After about ten years he bought a large farm at Langdon, New Hampshire, situated on Langdon hill. Here he lived about three years, and early in the fifties went west and settled in Detroit, Michigan. He was clerk and bookkeeper for Samuel Webster for ten years, and then removed to Grand Rapids, where he purchased a farm. Five years later he went to Saginaw and again entered the employ of Samuel Webster as manager and bookkeeper in the lumber business. After a number of years he retired from active business, and died at Saginaw, Michigan, where he is buried in the Brady Hill cemetery.

DOE This ancient English surname is derived from the name of the ani- mal, and is of the same class of surnames as Hart, Roe, Buck, Lion, Stag, proceeding originally from nicknames, per- haps, before surnames came into use. Lower says in his Patronymica Britannica that "those mythical parties to so many legal proceedings, John Doe and Richard Roe, are evidently of forest extraction and point to the days when forest laws prevailed and venison was a sac- red thing." The census of land owners, etc., taken by Edward I on his return from Pales- tine after the death of his father, called the Hundred Rolls (1273) (Rotuli Hundred- dorum) contains the name of John Le Doe. one of the first, if not the original progenitor of the family. The only coat-of-arms was confirmed in 1749, but may be much older. It is borne by a family of Sanghall, Lanca- shire, England, and is described: Argent a chevron between three coulters sable. Crest- A garb or with a coulter stuck within the band in bend sinister sable. The Dow family, a branch of which settled in Hampton, New Hampshire, is entirely distinct in origin. This surname is derived from Dhu (black) or the Scotch Doo (pigeon).
