The elder Thomas Mitchell died 1677, and administration was granted to his widow Anne. The younger Thomas Mitchell (1), died September I, 1709, and his grave- stone at Malden gives his age as eighty-one years ten months. He lived on the Mystic side (Malden) and for a time at Pemaquid, Maine, where he was an inhabitant in 1675, probably returning to Malden on account of the Narra- gansett war. He married, November, 1655, Mary Molton, born 1635, died January 7, 17II-12, aged seventy-six (gravestone at Mal- den). He is on the list of tithes 1677-8 at Charlestown.

In 1730 he was of Sudbury, but re- moved that year to Lunenburg, before that town was incorporated, buying a farm of Sam- uel Woods, of Groton, near the Boardman farm in Lunenburg, on Cattecoonomung brook, consisting of fifty-five acres, adjoining land of William Wallis, by deed November 6, 1730. Andrew and Robert Mitchell were the first of the three brothers who settled in Lun- enburg.

We find no chil- dren of Moses, and the will of Robert men- tions none, though a Robert Mitchell Jr. had a guardian appointed July 17, 1749, (he was- then aged three) ; another guardian in 1759, (then aged over fourteen.)

He was a soldier in the revolution, in Captain George Kimball's company, on the Lexington aların. He married first, Dorcas Nelson, of Rowley, by whom he had no children. He married second, October 26, 1776, Roxanna McDonnell, of Hollis, New Hampshire, and they had eight children, among them Jonas, born April 8, 1787, died 1796; Andrew, men- tioned below.

(VII) Moses Campbell Mitchell, son of Jonas Mitchell (6), was born in Temple,. Maine, January 27, 1838. During his boy- hood, which he passed on his father's farm in his native town, he attended the public schools and later entered Colby College at Waterville, Maine, from which he graduated in the class of 1862, A. B, and in 1864 received the degree of A. M. from the same institution. He began to teach school at the age of sixteen, and paid his own expenses through college. Among his classmates were Richard Shannon, of New York, a noted builder and promoter of the Brazilian railroad system, and Professor E. W. Hall, now of the faculty at Colby College. A large proportion of, the men of his class en- listed in the civil war and many of them gave their lives for the Union.
Mr. Mitchell taught in the high school at iv-23
Farmington, Maine, two years; in the Pratt Free School at Middleborough, Massachusetts, four years ; then was principal of the Wilton Academy two years, and later of Duke's Coun- ty Academy, Martha's Vineyard, ten years. He established his own school on Martha's Vine- yard in 1870, in the town of West Tisbury, beginning his first term with a single pupil, and at the end of ten years had a dozen. In January, 1880, he removed to Billerica, bring- ing with him the eight pupils then registered in his school, and hiring a dwelling house for use as a school and dormitory. The school grew, and later in the year he bought the old Billerica hotel and altered the building to suit the needs of his school. The building was lost by fire January 1I, 1888, and for the remainder of the year his school occupied the vestry of the Unitarian church, kindly offered by the Unitarian society. In the same year the pres- ent school building was erected at a cost of $25,000 and opened with thirty pupils, the number soon increasing to forty, the limit of its capacity. This school building was de- signed expressly for the school, and is be- lieved to be the first and only building origin- ally designed for a home school for boys in New England, most if not all similar schools having old buildings remodeled for their use. The first floor contains the office, sitting rooms, parlors, dining rooms; the second floor is the dormitory, each room accommodating two stu- dents. Careful attention was given the plumb- ing, ventilation and all sanitary arrangements, and every effort exerted to make the home healthy, attractive and comfortable. The ex- tensive grounds afford ample room for athletic sports, such as base ball, foot-ball and tennis. Fishing, swimming and rowing are excellent. A well-equipped gymnasium provides for win- ter exercise and training. Provision is made for military training also. Boys are admitted between the ages of six and fifteen. Two par- allel courses are provided-classical and Eng- lish, as they are called-and special attention is given to fitting students for college and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The school has a manual training department and good laboratory equipment. The students publish the M. B. S. Echo, affording excellent experience to the editors, entertainment to the students and their friends, and disseminating information about the school. In addition to those subjects taught in the public schools, the boys are also taught some of the graces and accomplishments of life. fitting them to enter the best society with credit to themselves and their families. Instruction is given in dancing,

music and elocution. The school table is sup- plied largely from the farm connected with the school. Some twenty teachers are employed in the various departments, yet the school membership is now limited to sixty boys. The students come from all sections of the coun- try. It is unsectarian and many religious de- nominations are represented among the stu- dents.
Mr. Mitchell is a member of Kilwinning Lodge of Lowell, (Masons). He attends the Unitarian church, and in politics is a Republi- can. He has had few interests outside the school, which owes its success chiefly to his energy, foresight and executive ability. His constant and most judicious assistant in build- ing up the school and maintaining its high standard has been his wife. Mr. Mitchell married, July 26, 1876, Mary C. Hanson, daughter of Samuel Hanson, of Boston, a merchant who comes of an old New England family. Their only child is Alexander Henry, who was born May 7, 1878, graduated at. the Mitchell Boys' School and at Colby College, in the class of 1902. He married Marion Hall, a graduate of the same class as with himself (Colby College, 1902), daughter of Prof. E. W. Hall, Colby College, Waterville, Maine. They have two children: I. Donald Campbell Mitchell, born July 28, 1904. 2. Mary H., born February 22, 1908. Alexander Henry Mitchell, is now associated with his father as head master of the school, and has been a very successful teacher.
FLENTJE Ernst Flentje, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, widely known as a business man of ability and sterling integrity, actively engaged in all good work and benevolent institutions of the community, and who commands the esteem of his fellow-citizens, with whom he is identi- fied in every public enterprise of importance, is a native of Hanover, Germany, born Janu- ary 20, 1856. He is a son of Frederick and Louisa (Brougeman) Flentje, the former of whom was a dealer of live stock in Hanover.
Ernst Flentje was reared and educated in his native land, and when twenty-five years of age immigrated to the United States, land- ing in New York City. He was the first member of his family to leave Germany, and since then has been the means of bring- ing to this country three of his brothers and a nephew, the latter of whom now (1907) re- sides with him. Ernst Flentje secured em- ployment in the provision business at Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, and later removed to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he has since resided, being the owner of a beautiful and attractive home, equipped with all modern conveniences for the comfort of its inmates. For two years following his removal to Cam- bridge, Mr. Flentje served as an employee, and then began, in a small way, the business of importing sausage casings from Russia, which he sold at retail in a small store. The business, under his skillful management, ex- panded continually, and in a short space of time he supplied the retail trade with his im- ported casings, and subsequently the large provision dealers and sausage manufacturers, and in due course of time became the largest wholesale dealer in and exporter and im- porter of that commodity in this country. He invested his profits in real estate in the city of Cambridge, and in 1907 his holdings became so extensive and valuable that they demanded more of his 'time and at- tention, and accordingly he disposed of his business interest and retired from the busy marts of trade. He is one of the leading and influential citizens of Cambridge, and can be justly termed a self-made man, as he started out on the journey of life with little save his own energetic and industrious disposition, but by means of his sterling qualities has suc- ceeded in making a good position for him- self both in à financial and social way. He is a member of the Harugari Lodge, a German benevolent society, and takes a brotherly in- terest in his countrymen, who like himself, come to the United States to make a home and gain a fortune, and especially in those less fortunate who need encouragement and help in their struggles to gain a footing in the rush of business competition.
Mr. Flentje married, November 7, 1886, Ella, daughter of Robert and Mary (Libby) Weitze, of East Cambridge. Two children were the issue of this union: Harold, born September 2, 1887, died at the age of eleven months; Leslie, born March 17, 1891. The family reside at No. 1643 Cambridge street, corner of Trowbridge street, one of the finest residential sections of the University City.
(I) John Stott, Sr., was born in STOTT Rochdale, Lancashire, England. He was educated there in the common schools, and learned the machinist's trade. He rose to the position of head me- chanic in a large mill in his native town. He was a man of sterling character and agreeable

manner, enjoying the friendship of all his townsmen. He died at Rochdale where he spent all his active years. He married Ann Clegg, a native of Lancashire. She died in 1851. Children : Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Har- riet, John, Jr., mentioned below.
(II) John Stott, son of John Stott (I), was born in Rochdale, Lancashire, England, March 5, 1835, and died in Lowell, Massa- chusetts, June 6, 1892. He was educated in the Rochdale schools, and learned the trade of cooper after coming to America. He came to America in 1849 when fourteen years of age. The trip took six weeks on the Atlantic in a sailing vessel. He made his home in Lowell, Massachusetts, and secured a clerk- ship in the Lowell post office. After a few years he took a position as clerk in the Belvi- dere Mills and rose to the position of pay- master and finally to the superintendency of the entire mill, a position he filled with con- spicuous ability and credit until his death. He won a high reputation for executive ability and force of character. He was a typical self- made man, winning success in the face of many difficulties and obstacles. He was an active and earnest Republican. The only public office he accepted, however, was that of mem- ber of the Lowell common council. He was president of Lowell water board from 1889 to 1892; director of Public Library; was a mem- ber of the Knights of Pythias, the Knights of Honor and Oberlin Lodge of Odd Fellows, of Lowell, also Monomake Camp. He was an active member of the High Street Congre- gational church.
He married, April 12, 1860, Alice A. Park- er, born April 1, 1836, daughter of Stephen J. and Almira (Wallace) Parker. Mrs. Stott survives her husband and resides in Lowell, and she is greatly esteemed and loved by all who know her. Their only child was Annie M., married E. G. Walker, of Lowell, Sep- tember 14, 1892; no issue.
Charles Stott, who for forty-six years, as owner or manager of the Belvidere Woolen Mills, acquired a very high and very honor- able reputation among the textile manufac- turers of this country, was a man of decided character and strong convictions. He was thoroughly democratic in manners, dress and speech, and devoted his attention almost ex- clusively to his business. It is said that when age had rendered him too infirm to move with nis wonted activity from room to room in his mills it was his delight to sit for long hours near some new and curious machine to. ad-
mire the skill of its construction and the beauty of its operation.
He was born August 21, 1799, at Rochdale, a parliamentary borough in Lancashire, Eng- land, famed even in the days of Queen Eliz- abeth for its manufacture of woolen goods. His parents being in humble life, he was at the early age of seven years put to work in a woolen mill, in which the labor was so hard and confining as to leave him scant time for study and school. The hours of labor extend- ed from five in the morning to nine in the evening. When the years of manhood came, his ambition prompted him to leave the ranks of the day laborers and begin business on his own account. But fortune did not smile upon him in England, and at the age of twenty- seven years, he resolved to begin life anew in America. In 1826 he landed in Boston with two shillings in his pocket as his total capital. One of these shillings he kept through life as a souvenir of his early strug- gles, and his son, Hon. Charles A. Stott, re- ceived it at his death.
Mr. Stott first found employment in manufactory at Andover, Massachusetts. In 1828, with three associates, he began to oper- ate the Merrimack Mills in Dracut, Massa- chusetts. After seven years in this business he became in 1835 agent of the Belvidere Woolen Mills, then owened by Farnsworth, Baker & Hill, Lowell. He married Sarah MacAdams. Their only child was Charles Adams, born August 18, 1835, mentioned below.
Hon. Charles Adams Stott, son of Charles Stott, descended from a sturdy and respect- able English ancestory, was born in Dracut, Massachusetts, August 18, 1835. He re- ceived his education in the public schools of Lowell, graduating from the high school. His first occupation was as clerk in the hard- ware store of Burbank & Chase, and then for one year was a clerk in the counting room of the Merrimack Manufacturing Company. In 1856 he went to work in the Belvidere Wool- . en Mills as clerk and paymaster, serving in that position until the death of his father in 1882, when he succeeded him as agent and treasurer of the corporation. He also con- ducted the Stirling Mills for eight years; these were built by his father and eventually sold to a corporation.
Previous to the Civil war Mr. Stott was captain of Company H, Sixth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and when that regiment was mustered into service he
I628

was commissioned major and served his nine months term of enlistment under Colonel A. S. Follansbee, at Suffolk, Virginia.
Mr. Stott is a member of the High Street Congregational Church. He is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, with which he has been connected since 1857, having received his degrees in Pentucket Lodge. He is now affiliated with Kilwinning Lodge; Mount Horeb Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Anasuerus Council and Massachusetts Con- sistory, thirty-third degree; and is past com- mander of Pilgrim Commandery, Knights Templar, and past grand commander of the Grand Commandery, Knights Templar, of Massachusetts and Rhode Island; member of the Massachusetts Commandery, Loyal Legion; of post No. 42, Grand Army of the Republic, of which he was commander in 1874-75; and member of The Club of Low- ell, the Board of Trade, the National Associ- ation of Wool Manufacturers, president of the Home Market Club of Boston, director of the Prescott National Bank of Lowell, and pres- ident of the Lowell Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Lowell.
In politics he is a Republican; he has taken an active part in both state and city politics, and has rendered valuable service in many official positions. For many years he has held a place in public estimation that enabled him to exert a large and beneficial influence in the city of Lowell. He was a member of the common council in 1859-60; representa- tive to the general court in 1867; alderman in 1869-70 and Mayor of the city in 1876-77. His administration of city affairs was credit- able to him and satisfactory to the people. He displayed executive ability of the highest order as the chief magistrate. He was presi- dential elector in 1884 and chairman of the Republican state committee in 1881-82.
Throughout his life Mr. Stott has been a steady and tireless worker and has won suc- cess and achieved results by hard labor and close application to the details of business. He is fair and candid, taking no advantage and using no unworthy means or methods in business; detests any appeal to prejudice and believes in direct, straightforward action in both personal and business relations. Per- sonally he is genial and attractive in manner, a man of many loyal friends, generous, sym- pathetic and kindly.
Mr. Stott married (first) Mary E. Bean, daughter of George W. Bean, of Lowell. She died in December, 1860. He married (second), December 3, 1863, Lizzie Williams.

Richard Banks, the immigrant BANKS ancestor, was born in England, thought by good authority to be the son of William Banks, whose brother, John Banks of London, died in 1630, men- tioning him in his will. He settled early at Scituate, in Plymouth colony, and took the oath of fidelity there. With others from Scitu- ate he settled before the summer of 1643 in Agamenticus, later called York, Maine, is the section of the town called Scituate. With Abraham Preble, John Twisden, his brother- in-law, and Thomas Curtis, he bought land in Georgana (York), July 19, 1645, and No- vember 20, 1645, also tracts of Sir Ferdinan- do Gorges, the Lord Proprietor, and of Wil- liam Hooke, one of the patentees. (York deeds i, IOI; ii, 179). Abraham Preble had lived in Scituate. Elizabeth Banks, perhaps sister of Richard, married, in 1666, William Blackmore, of Scituate. Banks was a promi- nent citizen in Maine; provincial councillor 1651-52, under the administration of Gover- nor Edward Godfrey; selectman 1653-54-56- 59-76-79-80; juror, 1649-53-55-56-58, 61-62- 64-65-68-69-71 ; trial justice or commissioner 1669-72-79 ; court appraiser 1659-63-71-76-79- 81-86-91 ; tax commissioner 1652; overseer of county prison 1673. He was admitted a free- man in 1652; took the oath of allegiance in 1681. In 1673, with Edward Rishworth, he was the signer of a letter to the churches invit- ing delegates to a council to settle Rev. Shu- bael Dummer (H. C. 1656), his brother-in- law, as pastor of the church in York. He died in 1692, the year of the massacre, and it is believed that he was one of the victims. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John and Elizabeth Alcock of York, who survived him several years. (See Genealogy, Reg. 36, p. 400). Children: I. John; mentioned below. 2. Samuel, probably also a victim of the mas- sacre of 1692. 3. Job, fined "for cursing" in 1684; probably also perished in the massacre. 4. Joseph, born in 1667; man of influence; lieutenant ; married Elizabeth Harmon.
