The New Hampshire Pierces PIERCE are the descendants of Thomas Pierce, who emigrated from England in 1633-4 and settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

He served with distinc- tion in the war for national independence, at- taining the rank of captain for gallant and meritorious conduct in the field, and after set- tling in New Hampshire he was commissioned a brigadier-general in the state militia. He subsequently became prominent in public af- fairs and was finally elected governor, retain- ing that office for two years-1828-29. From

1836 until his death, which occurred in 1839, he was vice-president of the Massachusetts division of the Society of the Cincinnati. His first wife was Elizabeth Andrews, and his second wife was Anna Kendrick. He reared a family of nine children, and his fourth son, Franklin Pierce, became the fourth president of the United States. Samuel Pierce, also a descendant of Thomas and a distant relative of the governor, was a native of Francestown, New Hampshire, and went from there to Hebron, same state. He married Olive Love- joy, a native of Hebron, and probably a de- scendant of John Lovejoy, of Andover, Mas- sachusetts, who was born about the year 1630 and was the progenitor of most, if not all, of that name in New Hampshire.

Samuel Pierce, son of Samuel and Olive (Lovejoy) Pierce, was born in Hebron, June 12, 1819. He was educated in the district schools, and coming to Massachusetts when a young man he settled in Reading, where he acquired prominence both in business and po- litical affairs. In 1847 he engaged in the manufacture of organ pipes, which developed into an important industrial enterprise, and he continued to direct its affairs for nearly fifty years, or until his death, which occurred Sep- tember 22, 1895. In 1897 the Samuel Pierce Organ Pipe Company was formed, growing out of this business. He participated actively in local public affairs, serving with marked ability as a member of the board of selectmen ; was a member of the Massachusetts house of representatives for the year 1870, and in poli- tics he acted with the Republican party. In religion he was an active member of the South Congregational Church.

On September 9, 1841, Mr. Pierce was united in marriage with Miss Sarah C. Eaton, who survives him. She was born in North Reading, August 12, 1818, daughter of Wil- liam and Mary (Gray) Eaton, and is a de- scendant of John Eaton, who came from Eng- land at an early date in the colonial period. Of this union there were four children : Caro- line, born April 3, 1844; Walter, born June 10, 1846; Charles, born May 30, 1850; and Clara C., born May 29, 1852.

Christopher Dempsey was DEMPSEY born in Rath Bran, county Wicklow, Ireland, in 1775. He married there in 1812, and had seven chil- dren. He was a farmer, and was descended from an ancient Irish family of that county.

(II) Patrick Dempsey, fifth child of Chris- topher Dempsey (I), was born in Rath Bran, county Wicklow, March, 1822. He received his early education in the parish schools of his native place. At the age of thirteen he went to work in the city of Dublin in the employ of a relative as clerk in a grocery store. He re- mained there until 1841, when he determined to seek his fortune in America. His first em- ployment in America was in the Hope Print .Works at Fall River, Massachusetts. He ap- prenticed himself to learn the trade of cloth printing and acquired a thorough knowledge of the business, working in various mills in Cranston, Rhode Island, Somerville and Low- ell, Massachusetts. His constant application, his grasp of the details and withal his high character and steadiness attracted the atten- tion of his employers and won promotion. He was made foreman of the room where the prints underwent the process of dyeing, drying and finishing in the course of their manufac- ture into the finished product. But he was am- bitious to have a business of his own and with his savings from his first five years of labor as a mill operative he started in the retail grocery business on Market street. Soon afterward he began to manufacture and bottle soda water and other beverages generally called "tonics." Business prospered and he had to move to larger quarters adding to his business the bottling of beers and becoming a whole- sale dealer in malt liquors. His store was at 381 and 383 Market street. He continued in the grocery business at this location until 1869 after which he devoted his whole attention to wholesaling and rectifying liquors and bot- tling beers, etc. Mr. Dempsey died Decem- ber 13, 1902, and his business is continued by his son George E. Dempsey.

Mr. Dempsey was an interesting example of a self-made American of foreign birth. Al- though gifted with no little natural ability and much common sense, Mr. Dempsey knew the importance of education and hard work. He improved his mind by study in his younger years. He made the most of his opportunities. Of fine physique and commanding presence he retained his mental and physical health al- most to the end of his long life. In social life he was genial and attracted friends readily. He was a man of acknowledged integrity and honor in 'his business dealings.

When he first entered politics he was in- clined to affiliate with the Whigs, but in 1856 voted for the Free Soil candidate for presi- dent. He became a War Democrat later, and supported General George B. McClellan in 1864 and continued a Democrat for many
