He was much respected in the community, and his loss is a se- vere blow to his family and friends.

SALMOND, Robert, and his bro. Peter, were born in a small town in Scotland, lying between Edinburgh and Glasgow, within 8 miles, it is said, of the tree in which William Wallace hid, as is related in the Scottish Chiefs. Robert was born in 1749, and Peter in 1745. Previous to the opening of the Am. Rev'n., they came to this country, on a visit, and staid in Bridg'r., Mass., one year, from 1774 to 1775. Starting from thence to return to

SALMOND.
their native land, by the way of Halifax, N. S., they were there impressed into the British army, under Burgoyne ; and when that officer was defeated, they left the ranks, and returned to Mr. Russell, their fellow countryman, at Bridg'r., with whom they had been tarrying. Soon they entered the employ of the Hon. Hugh Orr, also a native of Scotland,-who was a manufacturer of. cannon, and other arms,-and with him they remained for four years, receiving, as their compensation, but $8 per month, and their board,-a sum which would now be considered small by most of our mechanics. From thence, both came to Hanover, and engaged in trade, in the humble capacity of pedlers. Peter, after remaining two years, moved to Pemb., and settled near the Rev. Morrill Allen's. He m. Eunice, da. Capt. Jonathan Bass, of E. Bridg'r., and widow of Seth Whitman, in 1785, and d. in Pemb., in Oct. 1828, ae. 83, leaving ch., of whom his son Peter, is still living in Pemb., on his father's place. Robert, the other brother, remained in H., and was, for about thirty years, engaged in the iron business at Sylvester's Forge,-28 years of the time with Nath'l. Cushing,-in manufacturing Anchors, and carrying on this business on an extensive scale. He lived first in the Bald- win House, so called, on Hanover St .. and afterwards on Broad- way, in what is now known as the " Salmond House." Both the brothers, were men of high moral worth, and one who knew them well, has said, that "if all were like them, we should need no penal laws." Both left behind a good name for their children,- a legacy far more valuable than gold or silver ! The desc'ts of Robert, we give below.

In 1818; he left B., and journeyed to the South, tarrying there 4 years, until the death of his bro. Robert; and thence he went to Cuba, on which beautiful island he passed 7 winters. During a portion of this time, he was in the employ of the U. S. Gov't. In 1838, he sett. permanently in Hanover, and engaged in the Tack business, at the works previously occupied by his brothers, and at the spot where anciently stood the Stockbridge mill. Mr. S. is a man of modest and retiring manners, of un- blemished integrity, never weary in well doing, and is respected most by those who know him best, and can best appreciate the excellencies of his character. ch: 1.
