Archibald Stark, a native of
STARK Glasgow, Scotland, born 1693, graduate of the University of Glasgow, and a member of the Scotch Colony in Londonderry, Ireland, came to London- derry, New Hampshire, with the settlers who made up the town of Starkstown at the open- ing of the nineteenth century, and which place afterward took the name of Dunbarton, the · settlers being largely from Dumbartonshire, Scotland, a mining and industrial region northwest of Glasgow, celebrated as being the site of the Castle of Dunbarton, at the mouth of the Levan, five hundred and sixty feet above the level of the waters of the Levan and Clyde rivers, one of the four Scotch cas- tles, which by the terms of the treaty of union between England and Scotland was to be per- petually maintained, and which for a time was the prison of Sir Walter Bruce, and the home of Mary Queen of Scots, and which she left to take refuge in France, on account of the vio- lent religious persecutions of the time. Archi- bald Stark married Eleanor Nichols, a Scotch girl, who was one of the colony in London- derry, Ireland, and who came with him to America. In 1736 he removed with his family to Derryfield, his farm being on the east bank of the Merrimac, above the falls of Amoskeag. He died there June 25, 1758. His four sons were Indian fighters, and three-William, John and Archibald, Jr .- were officers, and the youngest was named Samuel. .
(II) General John Stark, second son of Archibald, the immigrant, and Eleanor (Nichols) Stark, was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire, August 28, 1728. He was a renowned Indian fighter, taken prisoner by the Indians in 1752, and ransomed by author- ity of the general court of Massachusetts Bay Colony. John Stark was married August 20, 1759, to Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Caleb Page, one of the original settlers · and pro- prietors of Starkstown. He heard of the Lex- ington Alarm in April, 1775, and organized one hundred of his fellow farmers of Dunbar- ton, and led them to Cambridge. Receiving promotion to colonel, he organized a regi- ment made up of eight hundred backwoods- men, and as their leader at the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, gave the famous order: "Boys, aim at their waistbands." He assisted General Rufus Putnam in fortifying New York; commanded a brigade in General Gale's army in Canada; rejoined Washing- ton's army in New Jersey, and commanded the van of the right wing at Trenton and Princeton. Becoming dissatisfied when not
promoted, he resigned his commission as colonel, returned to his farm, but on learning of the capture of Fort Ticonderoga by the British, July 1, 1777, he led a force of New
Hampshire troops and routed Colonel Baum's force of five hundred men at Ben- nington, Vermont, August 16, 1777, and he accomplished a like result the afternoon of the same day, when the reinforcements of five hundred under Colonel Berryman appeared to recapture the town. Congress acknowl- edged his services this time, promoted him to the rank of brigadier-general, October 4, 1777, passed a vote of thanks, and he was placed in command of the northern depart- ment in 1778 and again in 1781; and in 1783 he returned to his farm. Congress in 1817, recognized his services to his country by granting a pension of sixty dollars per month. Mrs. Stark died in 1814, and Gen- eral John Stark died at Manchester, New Hampshire, May 8, 1822. He was, with the exception of General Thomas Sumter, of South Carolina, who was six years his senior in age, the last surviving general officer of the Revolutionary army.
General John and Elizabeth (Page) Stark had numerous children, the boys of the fam- ily being: William, John, Archibald, Jr., Sam- uel, all born in Derryfield, New Hampshire. One of his daughters married Samuel Dickey, of Manchester, New Hampshire, and they re- sided in North Reading, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, 1850-70, and Mrs. Dickey died there June 18, 1870, at the age of eighty- eight years. She was the mother of eleven children, and her youngest daughter, Char- lotte Stark Campbell, with whom she lived in North Reading, confirmed the statement that her grandmother Stark was named Elizabeth and not "Molly," and accounted for the oft quoted: "Or Molly Stark will be a widow" used by the general, as a familiar term of en- dearment often applied when speaking of his wife.
Robert Miller Stark was born in Waltham, Massachusetts, June 13, 1855. He was a pu- pil in the public schools of Waltham, attended Chauncy Hall school, Boston, and was gradu- ated in law at Boston University Law School, 1878, and was admitted to the bar after a course in practice in the law offices of Charles R. Train, attorney-general of Massachusetts ; John F. Brown and Mellville H. Swett, of Boston.

It was his purpose to go to college, but having a good opportunity for business he changed his course. Unlike most young men he has great interest in politics, and a genuine aptitude for that work. Though he has lived in Medford but a few years, he early made a strong impression in his ward, and was a member of the Republican ward and city committee for 1903 and 1904, and served as an alderman in 1904 and 1905 in the city government of Medford. After a spirit- ed contest he was elected a member of the Massachusetts legislature in November, 1906, and as representative of the ancient town served with great credit both as an efficient worker in committees, and in debate as a speaker. He served on the committee on banks and banking.

(III) Abraham Howe, son of
HOWE Isaac Howe (2), born at Dor- chester, April 7, 1680, married
Hannah Wheeler, of Boston (by Rev. Thomas Foxcroft), at Boston, August 10, 1725. He was forty-five years old according to this record when he married, possibly for the second time. Children, born in Boston: I. Abraham, June 10, 1730. 2. Thomas, men- tioned below.
(IV) Thomas Howe, son of Abraham Howe (3), was born in Boston, October 27, 1732. He left his native town early, and ac- cording to family tradition went to Kenne- bunk, Maine, and possibly lived in various seaport towns of Massachusetts and what is now Maine. It is believed his father was a
184I
MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
seafaring man. Thomas was a settler in Barrington, New Hampshire, coming prob- ably from the adjacent seaport, Portsmouth, where most of the Barrington families origin- ated. He was according to the Revolution- ary Rolls of New Hampshire forty-four years old in 1777. He was a private in Captain Thomas Norris's company, Colonel Enoch Poor's regiment, 1777; in the Continental army, enlisting for three years in 1776, under Captain Drew and Colonel Stephen Evans ; was also in Captain Moses Leavitt's company, Colonel Thomas Bartlett's regiment.
He was in Barrington as early as 1773, and signed a petition in favor of Joshua Foss Jr., for justice of the peace. This petition con- tains practically all the names of residents at that time, and he was the only Howe. In 1781 he presented an interesting petition to the council and house of representatives of New Hampshire, stating that in 1777 he had enlisted for three years under Captain John Drew and "quit his farm, his family, his con- nections and what was most dear to him, and cheerfully marched as a soldier for the de- fense of his country, having an obligation from the committtee of Barrington for thirty- four pounds as a bounty only, and he to re- ceive his full wages without any deduction on account of the aforesaid bounty. He faith- fully performed his duty during the aforesaid term of three years but has not yet received but an inconsiderable part of his bounty, clothing and wages, for want of which his ex- penses fitting out for the service and the misfortunes he had while he was there have reduced him to very low circumstances. He was therefore at this time presumed to lay these grievances before your honors, relying and depending that you will be fully sensible of this his situation and grant a satisfactory answer to his request." The Barrington committee for 1777 (William Cate, Jr., John Hill, Joshua Foss Jr. and Silas Drew) signed a certificate substantiating the foregoing. The town refused payment and he brought suit, but was defeated for want of means to prosecute his case. Whether he finally was paid, the record saith not. The story of his loss of baggage, as he tells it, is also of in- terest: "Mt. Independence, July 6, 1777. I, Thomas Howe, the subscriber, do here say and certify that on the 6th instant orders came for us to turn out and get the powder out of the magazines. After Captain Buckland or- dered me and another man, John Doe by name, to carry a chest down to the landing. He sent the weater (?) to conduct us down; it
being dark he led us out of the way and the other man soon left me, I having strict orders I was obliged to see it on Bord the Scuner (schooner) which brought it almost to sunrise before I could Get back to my tent again and when I came there my Gun, pack, Bed- ing and clothes and all that I had except what I had on my back was lost." Captain Buck- land certified at Bemis Heights, October II, 1777, that he gave the order. His second pack was lost at Saratoga, as he relates in a statement dated July 3, 1777, at Moses Creek. The artillery men were ordered to put their baggage in the wagons; but later when the wagons had to be taken for the wounded the packs were thrown away. Children : I. Thom- as, of Newburyport, married Betsey Rowe, who died his widow at Framingham, New Hampshire, 1859, aged ninety-one years. 2. John, mentioned below. 3. James, born 1772, Strafford, Vermont, died October, 1847, at Dracut, Massachusetts; removed from Bar- rington to Vermont about 1810; his daughter Cyrene, who married Stephen Bartlett, is liv- ing (1907) in Lowell, Massachusetts, aged ninety-two years.

His son William remained in Hampton, and is the progenitor of this fam- ily, as was also William, his only son. The latter married, October 20, 1676, Mary Web- ster.
