This estate was in the well-known Eames-Ames neigh- borhood, òn New Boston street, where mem- bers of the family have resided for upwards of two centuries. Robert Eames apparently the Robert of Woburn, since several Woburn men were in the same companies, was a sold- ier in King Philip's war in 1675, in Captain Thomas Prentice's company at Mount Hope, and in 1676 in Captain Daniel Henchman's company.

Samuel Eames lived in the well known Eames- Ames neighborhood and occupied at different periods of his life two houses which are now standing. He devised his property to his wife Joanna, son Jacob, daughter Judith Symmes, son-in-law Elijah Wyman and daughter Hul- dah Wyman, wife of said Elijah. This estate for the times was quite large. He held the office of a lieutenant of militia in Woburn from 1733 to 1741, was a captain in the same 1741 to 1744, and deacon of the church from 1745 and onwards. Children, all by his first wife: I.

He was a soldier in the militia of this town in early life, entered active ser- vice early in the French war, serving in Cap- tain Ebenezer Jones's company, Colonel Grid- ley's regiment in the expedition to Crown Point from September 15, 1755, to December 17 of that year. While not especially young he was present in the engagement fought at Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775, as a member of Captain Jonathan Fox's (Wo- burn) company. He occupied his ancestor's estate and all the records concerning him show

that he was an active and enterprising citizen. Children. I. Rachel, born November 5, 1749, married, October 5, 1775, Jonas Evans, of Reading. 2. Jacob, see forward. 3. Nathan, born April II, 1753, died July 21, 1773. 4. Ruth, born May 28, 1758, married, July 30, 1778, Samuel Evans, of Reading.
(V) Jacob Eames, son of Jacob Eames (4), born at Woburn, June 6, 1751, died there, No- vember 10, 1824, aged seventy-three years, gravestone. Married, August 3, 1775, Esther Tay, of Woburn, born August 22, 1755, died December 14, 1836, aged eighty- one years, gravestone ; daughter of William and Susanna (Jones) Tay. This Jacob , Eames and his descendants spelled their name Ames. He was a farmer on his father's farm all his life. When the alarm was given on April 19, 1775, he joined the company to which his father belonged and marched with it to Lexington and Concord, and took part in all the action that occurred on that memorable day. That is, he belonged to ,Captain Jonathan Fox's (Woburn) company. His term of service was three days. He was also in active service, being called out on the event of the Shay's insurrection of 1786. His house was struck by lightning in 1801. These are about all the recorded facts we have about him. It is said that when the alarm was given of the fight at Bunker Hill that he was haying in his field,. and springing for his gun and knapsack went to Charlestown to take part in the fight. He. was by nature courageous and venturesome and never hesitated to expose himself to dan- ger, if duty called. It was probable that he may have rendered other service during the Revolutionary war of which no record has been kept, as his absence from town seems apparent from the fact that his name is not mentioned on the tax list from 1775 to 1779. From his character as a severe man and ex- acting in all his transactions, and the tradi- tions that the gun which he had in battle is still extant in the possession of the family of his late grandson, Samuel Henry Leathe, of St. Louis, Missouri, this is evidently so, and his service may have been much longer than we have stated, being confounded also possibly with that of a man of the similar name who is said belonged in and 'served from the town of Wilmington near the line of which town our Jacob Ames lived. The house in which he lived is still standing on the southerly side of Plain street, in the Eames-Ames neighborhood. This house, once occupied by his grandfather, Deacon Samuel Eames, is reputed to have
been built by his ancestor, Robert Eames, when he removed from the center of Woburn to this part of the town. Children: I. Jacob, born February 15, 1776, died young. 2. Jacob, born March 27, 1778, married, intention dated August 22, 1809, Henrietta Higgins, of Charlestown, Maryland. 3. Samuel, born March 4, 1780, married, May 30, 1805, Eliza- beth Tay, of Woburn, he died August 31, 1817, and his. widow married (second), intention dated July 18, 1824, Jacob Converse, of Wo- burn. 4. Robert, see forward. 5. Nathan, born February 2, 1785, died March 1, 1822. 6. Esther, born May 4, 1787, married, April 24, 1806, Elijah Wyman, of Woburn. 7. Ruth, born June 12, 1798, married, October 31, 1820, Samuel Leathe, of Woburn.
(VI) Robert Ames, son of Jacob Eames or Ames (5), born at Woburn, April 4, 1782, died there, November 10, 1866, in his eighty- . fifth year. Married (first), December 30, 1822, Lucy (Tay) Oystead, born September 22, 1785, died June 7, 1825, aged thirty-nine years, daughter of William and Hannah ( Pol- lard) Tay, of Woburn, and widow of Cap- tain John Oystead, of Boston; married (sec- ond), June 1, 1826, Sarah Gleason, born Aug- ust 1, 1797, daughter of William and Sally (Bacon) Gleason, of Billerica. She died his widow, January 3, 1879, in her eighty-second year. He was educated in the common schools of his native town, attending during the win- ter months and farming at other times on his father's land and continued thus until his father's death. He then took the farm as a whole, beginning first by buying out the other heirs and later buying other lots until he ac- quired the whole. This is now represented by the large homestead on Plain street. Later he bought the water privilege, belonging to John Tay and moving his father's old saw mill to another location more advantageous for the work, he began custom sawing, a bus- iness which he pursued for many years. He sawed large quantities of lumber which on his own account he sold to Woburn builders. Later the mill privilege was sold to James F. Baldwin, who conducted it for a time and later still the premises were sold to the Boston & Lowell Railroad and the Richardson family (Stephen Richardson and sons) finally owned it. . He also conducted general farming, raised cattle, teamed to Boston, with a four oxteam, bringing in with it considerable produce to Woburn. He also manufactured large quanti- ties of cider. He had the first covered wagon in Woburn. . He was a man of immense

strength and could lift a barrel of cider and place it easily in a team. He was at first a Democrat in politics and later a Republican. He attended the First Congregational Church of Woburn and held some of its offices. .In stature he was six feet and had an imposing figure. In early life he served in the Wo- burn militia as an officer and was at one time elected captain but would not accept the posi- tion. Child, by his first wife: I. Charles Oy- stead, born November 3, 1823, married (first), May 28, 1846, Mary Bacon Plummer, of Georgetown, who died September 23, 1873; married (second), February 12, 1876, Sarah Fidelia Knapp, of Georgetown; children all by first wife : i. Charles Warren, born April 28, 1851, married, December 29, 1875, Lucy E.

Clarence Elmore, born September 15, 1853, died November 12, 1863; iii. Mary Jane, born August 17, 1855, married, June II, 1884, Howard A. Thompson, of Haverhill. Chil- dren by second wife: Robert Gleason, died April 24, 1827, aged two months. Erskine, see forward. Henry Lyman, born August 29, 1834, married, April 19, 1882, Charlotte E. Converse, of Woburn, and died June 1, 1896.
(VII) Erskine Ames, son of Robert Ames (6), born at Woburn, July 15, 1828, died there May 12, 1906. Married (first), January I, 1862, Sarah Matilda Farrington, born at Andover, died at Woburn, February 15, 1873, daughter of Benjamin and Harriet (Farns- worth) Farrington. Married (second), March 1, 1874, Marianna Sevrens, born April 21, 1848, daughter of Uriel and Mary Jane (Hall) Sevrens, of Woburn. Mr. Ames re- . ceived his education in the common schools and at the Warren Academy in Woburn. He worked on his father's farm and was also engaged in teaming and in selling wood. When he became of age he apprenticed himself to Jotham Hill, house carpenter, to learn that trade, and after he had served his apprentice- ship of three years he worked for Mr. Hill as a carpenter for a number of years, later working at the same trade for George R. Bald- win and Thomas B. Coolidge. He was a skill- ful and faithful workman, and had charge of the building of many fine residences in Wo- burn, among which were those of Joseph W. Hammond, Parker L. Converse, and Lewis Shaw. He was a man devoted to his family, a great reader, having a large library, and was
broad in his views. He was a deep thinker and was always found on the side of what was right. He was a man of deep religious convictions, kind and charitable, and was a worthy citizen of his native town.
As we have shown, he was of the seventh generation of the family in this country. His ancestor, Robert Eames, built and occupied the small red house now standing opposite the house on Plain street in which Erskine Ames, the subject of this sketch, was born. Here also his ancestor, Deacon Samuel Eames, owned six hundred acres of land. Deacon Samuel's son Jacob, and Jacob's son Jacob, also as we have said found their homes on the same es- tate, and this steady influence of a long abid- ing race showed its characteristics in their descendants. Erskine Ames was remarkable for his devotion to one pursuit, as others of his race have been, either as tillers of the soil on their native heath, or as dwellers near it in other similar conservative pursuits. Such men give a fixed idea of what our best Amer- ican citizen is-and Erskine Ames was an eminent example.

ELLISON
This surname is of the class of the class of Johnson and Williamson, derived from per-
sonal names. Ellis, or Elles, means son-in- law by the wife, as Els, or Ells, means a son- in-law by the husband. The surname is also derived from Elias, used in France as a proper name in the days of Charlemagne, and heredi- tary at the time of the Norman Conquest. William Alis, mentioned in the Domesday Book, was progenitor of the Ellis family of Kedall, county York, and Stoneacre, Kent, from whom descended Sir Archibald Ellys, crusader of the time of Richard I. No less than eighteen variations of spelling Ellis are found. Allison and Ellison are both common forms of this surname. In Scotland, where. the family is numerous, the family bears arms : Per bend gules and or. a fleur-de-lis in bend between two annulets all counter-charged.

(I) Lawrence Ellison, immigrant ancestor of the Ellison families of New York and New England, born in England, about 1590, settled first in Watertown, Massachusetts, and went thence to Wethersfield, Connecticut and Stam- ford, and later to Hempstead, Long Island, with others in the party of Rev. Richard Denton, in 1644. Most of these families who located at Hempstead were from Hemel, Hempstead, England, twenty miles from Lon- don. Others were from Halifax, Yorkshire, whence Mr. Denton himself came with Sir Richard Saltonstall in 1630. Ellison was taxed at Hempstead, 1657, and became a townsman, 1659. He died there, 1664, and his estate was administered by Richard, Thomas and John, the second estate listed upon the surrogate's books of that county-New York. Children : Richard, mentioned below. 2. Thomas, born about 1622, resided at Hempstead. 3. John, born about 1624. 4. Daughter, married John Ellington.
(II) Richard Ellison, son of Lawrence Elli- son (I), was born in England, about 1620. He was in Braintree, Massachusetts, 'as early as 1645; removed to Hempstead, Long Island, where his fathers and brothers lived, about 1663, and in 1673 was taxed there on sixty acres of land; had land allotted to him of Hempstead Plain, and was there in 1682. His will was dated February 14, 1630, and proved June 13, 1683. He bequeathed to wife "Tami- sen," to son John a hundred and fifty acres of land and a house; to son Thomas twenty-two acres; to sons-in-law. Jonathan Smith and Joshua Jannock.

(III) Thomas Ellison, son of Richard Elli- son (2), was born in Braintree, Massachusetts, January 1, 1655. He inherited property from his father and his brother John. His older brother Richard settled in New Jersey, while he seems to have remained at Hempstead, though he doubtless held property at Brain- tree and lived there some of the time, but final- ly moved to Mendon, Massachusetts, and was the father of John Ellison, of Mendon and Uxbridge, Massachusetts, which were settled mainly by Braintree and Weymouth families. He was a farmer and shoemaker, or cord- wainer.
(IV) John Ellison, son of Thomas Ellison (3), was born about 1710. He married, 1731, Hannah , and they settled in Uxbridge. His first land he bought June 17, 1740, of Peter Aldrich, forty acres in Uxbridge. He was· a blacksmith by trade, sometimes called Bloomer in the records, and doubtless divided his time between his forge and his farm, after the custom of the early settlers who had trades. He learned his trade at the iron works in New York province, where his father lived, and at Braintree, in this province, for blacksmiths were not usually called bloomers. He bought more land at Uxbridge, April 14, 174I, of Joseph Thompson, and three more parcels of land of Peter Aldrich, October 15, 1747, March 23, 1764, and April II, 1769. He died in 1773. His estate was divided among his heirs, June 10, 1774; widow Hannah ; children, John Jr., Susanna, Ann Williams, Thomas, Jacob, Molly, Hannah, and Martha. The widow Hannah had a guardian in her old age, appointed January 5, 1790. Children, born in Uxbridge: I. Susannah, born September 24, 1732. 2. Thomas, October 7, 1734. 3.

Martha, February 2, 1752. 10. Sarah, November 9, 1754. This is the only family of the name in Massachu- setts at that time, and all the Uxbridge fam- ilies are descended from John Ellison.
(V.) John Ellison Jr., son of John Ellison (4), was born in Uxbridge, September 7, 1736. He enlisted in the Revolution, April 26, 1781, as a private in the Continental army for three years.

was a prosperous farmer in east part of Ux- bridge.
(V) Thomas Ellison, son of John Ellison (4), was born at Uxbridge, March 20, 1740- 4I, and settled in the adjoining town of North- bridge. He seems to have lost all his property in 1814 by failure, as various pieces of real estate were sold under the execution at that time to Amariah Chapin, Alpheus Dean, Aaron Thayer, Abijah Willard and Allen Thayer. He bought property July 14, 1784, of his brother Jacob, at Northbridge, and sold land February 7, 1800, to James Fletcher of North- bridge.

His father deeded land to him in 1765. He had a son Henry, and other children.
(VI) Edward Ellison, son of John Elli- son (5), was born April 7, 1770, in Uxbridge, or vicinity. He was brother of Joseph Ellison, whose eldest son was named Willard. He married, at Northbridge, February 28, 1793 (by John Crane) Polly Pierce, born April 7, 1771, daughter of Isaac and Martha (Graves) Pierce. Her father was born October II, 1731; married, October 22, 1755, Martha Graves. Edward Ellison resided at Uxbridge at the time of his marriage. He settled in Chester, Vermont, previous to 1800, and had a large farm. His wife's line- age was Polly (7); Isaac (6); Isaac (5) ; Daniel (4); Daniel (3); Anthony (2) ; John (I). (See Pierce sketch).

(VII) Josiah Ellison, son of Edward Elli- son (6), was born in Chester, Vermont, No-
vember 5, 1800, and died at Holyoke, Massa- chusetts, October 14, 1872. He was brought up on his father's farm, and attended the com- mon school. He left home when a young man, and engaged in the trucking business in Bos- ton, doing an extensive business in the em- ploy of many large houses until 1831, the year of his marriage, when he returned to his na- tive town and purchased a farm of ninety acres, four miles north of North Chester vil- lage and conducted it successfully until about 1858, when he sold it and removed to Charles- town, New Hampshire. He continued farming at Charlestown until the death of his wife in 1863. He spent his last years with his daugh- ter Melissa Dudley. Though of a retiring dis- position he was affable and genial among his friends, and highly respected by all who knew him. He and his wife attended the orthodox Congregational church. He was originally a Whig, later a Republican. He served in the militia of New Hampshire.
He married, January 6, 1831, at Boston, Eliza Ann Lund, born at Philadelphia, October 2, 1805; died at Charlestown, New Hamp -. shire, March 16, 1863, daughter of David Lund, an officer in the army.
