Hereunto I subscribe your hearty friend and humble ser- vant, JOSEPH BROOKS.
LINCOLN, October 26, 1756."
Capts. Cutler and Bond and Lieut. John Hoar were ap- pointed a committee to express the thanks of the town to Mr. Brooks for his gift.
A part of the communion plate of the church was also pre- sented by him. He died September 17th, 1759, in the 79th year of his age, and though he had several children, left £388 for a school fund, which has been of great service to the town, and now is more than $1,200. Inventory of his estate, £1,470.

DONORS TO THE CHURCH.
Mr. Edward Flint, whose house, situated not far from the meeting-house, seems to have been the home of the ministers who preached for the church previous to the ordination of Mr. Lawrence, gave about an acre of land for a site for the meeting- house. He died November 15, 1754, at the age of seventy. At a meeting of the Church held March 17, 1757, the following minute was entered on the records :
" Whereas, Mr. Edward Flint, late a brother of this Church, now deceased, did, in his last will and testament, bequeath to this Church the sum of ten pounds, to be applied to furnish the Church with sacramental vessels : Voted, that Dea. Joshua Brooks, Dea. John Gove and Lieut. Samuel Dakin be, and hereby are, appointed a Committee in the name and behalf of the Church to receive the legacy, or bequest, of ten pounds above mentioned, to apply it to the use above mentioned, and according to the design of the above said testator, and to give to the executrix of his will, Mrs. Love Flint, a proper dis- charge thereof."
Three years later the same Committee were appointed to receive a legacy of twenty pounds by Mr. Joseph Brooks, for the same purpose. Johnson (Hist. Coll. III. p. 161), calls Hon. Thomas Flint, the grandfather of Mr. Edward, " a sincere ser- vant of Christ, who had a fair yearly revenue in England, but having improved it for Christ, by casting it into the common treasury, he waits on the Lord for doubling his talent, if it shall seem good unto him so to do, and in the mean time spend- ing his person for the good of his people in the office of magis- trate."
Mary (Polly) Child was the second child of Joshua and Eliz- abeth (Hammond) Child, and was born April 15, 1784. Her grandparents, Joshua and Grace (Bemis) Child, united with this Church, by letter from the Waltham Church, in 1774. Miss Child was the great-great-granddaughter of Dea. Ephraim Child, who came to America in 1630, and was probably one of the first deacons of the Watertown Church. He was representative twelve years and selectman fifteen years. "The appraisal of his homestall and the amount of his inventory (£770.15) show

that he was one of the most affluent of the first settlers." Miss Child, in middle life, came into possession, by the death of a brother, of several thousand dollars, the income of which, be- yond her own limited personal expenses, she most faithfully devoted to religious purposes. She gave an acre of land as a site for a parsonage, and left another contiguous acre by will to the Parish. She also bequeathed to the Parish fifteen shares of railroad stock, worth about $1,000 at the time of her death. She also left to the A. B. C. F. M. $1,000; to the American Home Missionary Society $1,000; to Mt. Holyoke Seminary $1,000 ; to the American Tract Society $500; to the Seamen's Friend Society $500, and other legacies. She died Feb. 5, 1867, aged 82.

Baker.
William Baker was an owner of real estate in Concord be- fore 1665. Thomas Baker was one of the persons incorporated as the Second Precinct of Concord. Shattuck says, " James, Amos and Nathaniel of this town (Concord) and Lincoln in 1828, were grandsons of Jacob, who, according to tradition, came from Killingly, Conn."
Bemis.
Amos Bemis, father of Dea. Amos, born Oct. 6, 1760, who married Feb. 2, 1792, Susan Fiske, was of the fifth generation from Joseph Bemis, born in 1619, who was in Watertown as early as 1640 ; was selectman, 1648, '72, and '75, and died Aug. 7,1684.

Colburn.
This name is not in the earliest records of the Church. Na- thanael Colburn, of Leominster, grandfather of Deacon William, married Tabitha, second daughter of John Headley, April 17, 1750. After the death of Mr. Headley in 1779, probably, he removed to Lincoln, taking possession of the Headley home- stead. Mr. and Mrs. Nathanael Colburn were received into this Church by letter from the Church in Leominster in 1780.
Cutler.
Captain Ebenezer Cutler, born July 24, 1700, was the son of John, and grandson of James Cutler, who was in Watertown in 1635, "and about 1648 moved from Watertown to Cam- bridge Farms (Lexington), near Concord line, and was one of the petitioners in 1682 for a distinct parish." Captain Cutler, one of the founders of this Church, was both Precinct and Town Clerk for several years, and kept the records in an excellent manner. He is spoken of in the records of the town as in the King's service, and was probably an efficient officer. He was much esteemed, both for his piety and general ability. He died Jan 17, 1777.
Dakin.
Thomas Dakin was a resident in Concord before 1650. His son Joseph, who lived on the place now occupied by Mr. Wm.

Mackintosh, was selectman in 1710, 1715, '16, '17, and was chosen deacon about 1717, and died in 1744, at the age of 75, two years before this Church was formed. Deacon Dakin's son, Captain Samuel, and his wife, were received into this Church, by letter from the Concord Church, in 1752. Captain Dakin was in the French and Indian war, in active service near Lake George, in 1756, and was killed near Half-way Brook, July 20, 1756.
Farrar.
" George Farrar, the second son of Jacob, was born Aug. 16, 1670 ; was carried by his mother to Concord when he was five years old, and brought up a farmer in the south part of the town, now Lincoln, by a Mr. Goble. When he arrived at 21 years of age, he had but a quarter of a dollar in his pocket. He called together his associates and told them he would treat them with all he had, and begin the world square. Sept. 9, 1692, he married Mary Howe, who had been brought up with him in the same family, and with whom he lived, including their apprenticeship, more than eighty years. He early purchased a large tract of land in the neighborhood where he was brought up, and where his posterity of the fourth, fifth and sixth gen- erations are now living." "He died May 15, 1760. His wife died April 12, 1761. He was a man of great energy and thrift." [Farrar Family.]
Judge Timothy Farrar, of New Ipswich, N. H., youngest son of Dea. Samuel, who died Feb. 21, 1849, at the age of 101 years 7 months and 12 days, was his grandson. Samuel Farrar, Esquire, of Andover, and Prof. John Farrar, of Harvard Col- · lege, were his great-grandsons.
Fiske.
Among the settlers of Watertown were David Fiske, ad- mitted freeman in 1638; Nathan Fiske, admitted freeman in 1643 ; and John Fiske, who was born in England about 1619, and took the oath of fidelity in Watertown in 1652. Captain Sewall Fiske was of the seventh generation from the first Na-
90

than, and was also a descendant by marriages of his ancestors of the other two original settlers of this name. All the lineal ancestors of Capt. Sewall bore the name of Nathan, except his grandfather, Jonathan. His ancestor, Lieutenant Nathan (2d), bought in 1673, of Thomas Underwood, the farm, two hundred and twenty acres, which has been in possession of the family since. For years the family attended church in Watertown, when " no wheel track was to be seen this side of Beaver Brook." Captain Fiske died March 1, 1872, aged 79.
Elijah Fiske, Esquire, was of the fifth generation from John Fiske.
Flint.
Ephraim Flint, clerk of the Precinct for several years and Town Clerk nine years, was the great grandson of Hon. Thomas Flint, a man of wealth, talents and Christian character, who came from Matlock, in Derbyshire, to Concord, in 1638. His father, Col. John Flint, and his grandfather, of the same name, were among the most prominent citizens of Concord.
Ephraim " was born March 4, 1714, and graduated (H. C.) in 1733. He settled in Lincoln, and inherited the valuable estate of his uncle Edward, and great uncle Ephraim, who had successively owned and lived on the ' Flint Farm'; both hav- ing died without issue." He died December 26, 1762, aged 48. His son, of the same name, died in 1824, aged 80; and his grandson. Major Ephraim Flint, Oct. 9, 1871, at the age of 89.
Hagar.
Elisha Hagar, born Dec. 20, 1782, who married Priscilla Fiske in 1807, was of the fifth generation from William Hagar, who married Mary Bemis and was a resident in Watertown from 1644 to 1684. He died Dec. 10, 1871, aged 88.

name heads the petition to the General Court for incorporation as a precinct, owned the most valuable estate of any of the in- corporators. He died in 1779.
Hoar.
John Hoar, " a lawyer distinguished for bold independent mind and action," came to Concord about 1660, where he fol- lowed his profession for several years. His only son, Daniel, born in 1650, married Mary Stratton in 1677. They had eight sons and two daughters. Of these, Lieut. Daniel, third son, married Sarah Jones, and died in 1773, at the age of 93, hav- ing had four sons, of whom John, who married first Esther Pierce in 1734, and secondly Elizabeth Coolidge in 1740, was the father of Hon. Samuel, who was born Aug. 23, 1743, and married July 8, 1773, Susanna, only daughter of Col. Abijah Pierce. Mr. Hoar and his wife united with the Church the next year. He was a lieutenant of the Lincoln company of militia in 1775, and was at Concord on the 19th of April. He was town clerk in 1780, '82, '87, '98, 1807-9. He was in the General Court as a representative in 1794, '95, '97, '98, 1801, '03,' 08 ; as a senator in 1813-1816. Two of his sons, Samuel and Nathanael Pierce, graduated at Harvard and studied law. The elder, Samuel, father of Judge E. R. Hoar, attained a distinguished reputation as a lawyer and civilian. Mr. Hoar died May 22, 1832, aged 88.
Munroe.
Benjamin Munroe, one of the founders of the Church, was the son of William and Mary Munroe, of Lexington. Betsey and Mary Stearns, wives of Rev. D. M. Stearns and Rev. W. T. Stearns, were his great granddaughters.
Pierce.
Col. Abijah Pierce, the third son of Isaac Pierce and Su- sanna (Bemis) Pierce, in the fifth generation from Anthony Pierce, " who was admitted freeman in Watertown in 1634, and was the ancestor of all or nearly all the families bearing
92
CHURCH MANUAL.
that name afterwards in Watertown, Waltham, Weston, Lin- coln and Lexington, was born May 23, 1727, and married Sept. 3, 1751, Thankful Brown, youngest daughter of Dea. William Brown, of Waltham. He and his wife were dismissed from the Waltham Church Jan. 1, 1758, to unite with the Church in Lincoln. Col. Pierce was remotely connected with George, Joseph and Jonas Pierce, founders of the Church, and of the fourth generation from Anthony, (the first two probably being brothers), and Jonas their cousin. Col. Pierce was an ardent patriot and was associated with Gen. Brooks and Dea. Farrar as a Committee of Correspondence for the town in 1773. He was Colonel of the regiment of minute-men engaged in the battle at Concord April 19, 1775.
He had two children, Susanna, born in 1752, and Nathaniel, born in 1754, grad. H. C. 1775, and died in 1783. Col. Pierce died Sept. 18, 1800.
Russell.
Hon. Chambers Russell was the great-grandson of Hon. Richard Russell, who came from England and settled in Charles- town in 1640. His father, Hon. Daniel, was treasurer of the county of Middlesex for more than fifty years, and was also a member of the council and commissioner of imposts. His mother was a daughter of Hon. Charles Chambers. Judge Rus- sell graduated at Harvard College in 1731, and soon settled on the estate of his father-in-law, now known as the Codman es- tate. He repeatedly represented the town of Concord in the General Court ; and was chiefly instrumental in obtaining the act of incorporation for the town of Lincoln. He was a noble, high-minded man, and was always treated with the most distin- guished consideration by his fellow-citizens. Several new roads were laid out after the incorporation of the Precinct. When his lands were taken he would take no compensation from the town. The following record gives a glimpse of the man :
" 1765, May 5th. To act upon the article referred from the last town meeting to the present meeting, which was to see what the town will give Timothy Weston and Samuel Farrar, a
93
EARLY FAMILIES.
committee chosen by the town to petition the Great and Gen- eral Court for relief under the heavy burden of an additional tax levied on the town in the year 1762. Dismissed on Judge Russell's promising to pay said committee."
He represented the town eight years in the General Court, and repeatedly, when he declined the office, the town voted not to send.
In 1739 he was chosen a counsellor, just a century from the time when his great-grandfather was chosen to the same office. He was appointed, in 1747, Judge of the Court of Admiralty ; and at the time of his death, which took place in England in 1767, held that office, as also that of Judge of the Superior Court.
Hon. James Russell, brother of Chambers, was born in Charlestown, Aug, 5, 1715, and was scarcely less distinguished than his elder brother. He represented Charlestown in the General Court thirteen years in succession, and was subse- quently counsellor and one of the Judges of the Court of Com- mon Pleas. His son, Dr. Charles, a graduate of Harvard Col- lege, 1757, inherited his uncle Chambers' estate in Lincoln, where he resided as a physician. "He married Miss Elizabeth Vassall, of Cambridge, and from his father-in-law contracted opinions opposed to the measures of the people in the Revolu- tion, and left Lincoln on the 19th of April, 1775, and went to Martinique, in the West Indies, where he died. His father, after the departure of his son from the country, removed to Lin- coln, where he lived fifteen or twenty years. The town received from him several valuable donations.
Smith.
Zachariah Smith, of the fifth generation from Thomas Smith, a proprietor in Watertown from 1637 to 1693, married in Wal- tham, 1779, Sarah Bemis, and settled in Lincoln. His father married, in 1741, Thankful Fiske, great-granddaughter of the first Nathan Fiske.
Stone.
Simon Stone, and his younger brother Gregory, came from England in 1635. Their descendants are very numerous in
94
CHURCH MANUAL.
New England. Simon was deacon of the Church in Watertown and Gregory in Cambridge. Dea. Gregory Stone, at a very early date, settled near or within the present bounds of Lincoln.
Tarbell.
Dr. Grosvenor Tarbell was from Sturbridge, and settled as a physician in this town, in 1796. He married Aug. 25, 1801, Thankful, daughter of Sam'l Hoar, Esq., and died in 1822.
Wesson or Weston.
Among the builders of the meeting-house is Timothy Wes- son, who, as also Stephen Wesson, were among the original members of the Church. At what date the family settled in Watertown or Concord has not been ascertained. The name does not appear among the early settlers of either place. The present representatives of the family are connected with fami- lies that date from the beginning of the colony.
