After the death of Rev. Mr. Toppan, on the 23d of July, 1747, Mr. Tucker entered into the full charge

of the pastorate. Mr. Toppan was a native of New- bury and a graduate of Harvard in 1691. His monu- ment bears the following inscription :

" Here lyes the Body of the Rev. Mr. Christopher Toppan, Master of Arts, fourth Pastor of the First Church in Newbury ; a Gentleman of good Learning, conspicuous Piety and Virtue, shining both by his Doc- trine and Lile, skilled and greatly improved in the Practice of Physick and Surgery, who deceased July 23, 1747, in the 76th year of his age and the 5ist of his Pastoral office."

In 1761 the Fifth Parish in Newbury was incor- porated, and settled Rev. Oliver Noble as their pastor. Mr. Noble was born in Coventry, Conn., in 1736 and graduated at Yale College in 1757. He was settled in Newbury September 1, 1762, and resigned April 7, 1784, being afterwards settled in New Castle, N. H., where he died December 15, 1792. This church is now within the limits of Newburyport, and has been known in later years as the Belleville Congregational Church, to which further reference may be found in the sketch of Newburyport.

The year 1763 was made memorable by the open- ing of Dummer Academy, on Monday, February 27th in that year. William Dummer, the founder of the academy, was the grandson of Richard Dummer, who came from the small parish of Bishopstoke, near South- ampton, in 1632, and after a four years' residence in Boston and Roxbury, settled in Newbury. His brother, Stephen, eame to New England in 1638, but returned with his family ten years after, one of his daughters, Jane, marrying Henry Sewall, one of the early settlers of Newbury and progenitor of the fam- ily of which Judge Samuel was a distinguished mem- ber. Richard Dummer became a large landholder and probably the richest man in the province. Hav- ing been a magi-trate, after Winthrop had completed his victory over Harry Vane, with whom Dummer took sides, he was dropped from the magistracy and lost his gun and sword under the disarming act. He lived on his farm, imported cattle and fruit-trees from England, built a mill at the river, and steadily in- creased his estate. Of his five sons, Jeremiah, the silversmith of Boston, has already been referred to.

Jeremiah was the father of two sons, Jeremy and William the founder of the academy. Wil- liam was born in Boston in 1677, and the first we know of him was his living in Plymouth, England, and acting as commissioner for the Massachusetts Colony. While thus employed he received from government the appointment of Lieutenant-Governor of his native province. He returned home in 171G, on the retire- ment of Governor Joseph Dudley, whose daughter Katherine was his wife. Samuel Shute came from England at the same time as the successor of Gover- nor Dudley. Governor Shute, by carrying out the in- structions of the King to insist upon a fixed annual salary, made himself unpopular with the colonists, and after a contest of six years he gave up the battle and suddenly embarked for England. Though nominally Governor, he never returned, and William Dummer during that time acted in his place. After a service

of six years, in 1728, William Burnet was transferred from the chief magistracy of New York and New Jer- sey to that of Ma-sachusetts, and served one year until his death, in September, 1729, when Mr. Dum- mer was re-instated, to be supplanted by Wm. Tailer as Lieutenant-Governor in the following year, who aeted as Governor until the accession of Jonathan Belcher, August 8, 1730. During the thirty-nine remaining years of his life he lived in Newbury, for the most part in retirement, but always dispensing a generous hospitality, and indulging his generous in- stincts by benefactions, of which the foundation of the Byfield Academy was the most important and lasting. His wife was born in England in 1690, and brought up with all the social advantages which the position of her father as member of Parliament and Lieuten- ant-Governor of the Isle of Wight necessarily afforded. She died in Boston, in 1752, where he also died October 10, 1761. By his will, made seven years before, he gave to Rev. Messrs. Foxcroft and Chauncey, of Boston, and Nathaniel Dummer, of New- bury, trustees, his dwelling-house and a farm in New- bury, the rents and profits to be employed in erect- ing a school-house and in support of a master. The appointment of master was placed in the hands of a committee of five Byfield freeholders to be chosen an- nually at the regular parish meeting, and to act with the minister of the parish for the time being.

The master was to be chosen for life, unless, on the ground of incompetency or immorality, the overseers of Harvard College should see fit to remove him. The ability to read English was the only qualification for admission.

The trustees erected a small building in 1762, which is represented to have been a common one- story building, about twenty feet square, which stood nearly on the site of the present academy. The first master chosen by a committee, whose names have been lost, was Samuel Moody, a descendant of Wil- liam Moody, one of the first settlers of Newbury. William had three sons, -Samuel, Joshua and Caleb. Caleb was the father of another Samuel, minister of the parish in York, who had a son Joseph, a graduate of Harvard in 1718, town clerk of York, register of deeds, county judge and finally a preacher in Upper York. Joseph was the father of Samuel, the first master of Dummer Academy.

Samuel, the master, graduated at Harvard in 1746, and afterwards took charge of the York Grammar School, which he taught about sixteen years, until his election to the preceptorship of the academy.

Under Master Moody the institution met with unexpected success. It was established at a time when the people of New England were beginning to feel ambitious for the attainment of a higher education than the common schools were able to furnish, and Dummer Academy precisely met their wants. In the twenty-seven years closing with the year 1790, there were five hundred and twenty-five students in

the academy; from 1790 to 1809, two hundred and ninety-four; from 1809 to 1819, one hundred and four; from 1819 to 1821, sixty-one; and from 1821 to 1843, inclusive, five hundred and thirty-three; or for the seventy years of its lite, the records of which are accessible to the writer, an average of twenty-one per year. Among these may be found the names of JIon. Theophilus Bradbury, of Portland; Ilon. Rich- ard Cutts, of Kittery; Hon. Moses Davenport, of Newburyport; Hon. Elias Hasket Derby, of Salem ; Hon. Edward Dowse, of Charlestown ; Hon. Jonathan Freeman, of Boston; Hon. Nathaniel Gorham, of Charlestown; Hon. Rufus King, of Scarborough ; Hon. Jeremiah Nelson, of Rowley; HIon. Samuel O-good, Hon. Theophilus Parsons, of Byfield; Hon. Oliver Peabody, of Andover; Hon. Benjamin Pick- man, of Salem ; Hon. Samuel Phillips, of Andover ; Commodore Edward Preble, of Portland ; Hon. Wil- liam Prescott, of Pepperell; Hon. Samuel Sewall, of Boston ; Rev. Samuel Webber, of Cambridge ; Hon. John Wentworth, of Somersworth, N. H., and Ilon. Phillips White, of Newburyport. The above were all before 1790. There may be found on the lists since then the names of Parker and Nehemiah Cleaveland, of Byfield and Topsfield; Nathaniel Cogswell, of Rowley ; Patrick T. Jackson, of Newburyport ; Alfred Johnson, of Freeport, Maine; Edward S. Rand, of Newburyport ; Joseph Hale Abbott, of Wilton, N. H .; Benjamin Apthorp Gould, of Newburyport; Rev. Ephraim Peabody, of Wilton, N. H .; Nathaniel J. Lord, of Ipswich; Rev. Chandler Robbins, of Rox- bury ; Otis P. Lord, of Ipswich ; Ebenezer Bradbury, of Newburyport; William D. Northend, of Byfield, and Rev. George D. Wildes, of Newburyport.

In 1782 the academy was incorporated and the entire charge of the institution, including the selec- tion of teachers, was placed in the hands of fifteen trustees. Mr. Moody resigned March 25, 1790, and died at Exeter on the 17th of December, 1790.

His gravestone in an old graveyard in York, Maine, where he was buried, bears the following inscription :

" Integer vitæ sætevisque purus."

" Here lies the remains of Samuel Moody, Esq., Preceptor of Dam- mer Academy, the first institution of the kind in Massachusetts. He left no children to mourn his sudden death, for he died a bachelor, yet his numerous pupils in the United States will ever retain a lively sense of the sociality, industry, integrity and piety he possessed in an un- usual degree, as well as the disinterested, zealons, faithful and useful mauner he discharged the duties of the Academy for 30 years, IIe died at Exeter, N. JI., December 17th, 1790, aged 70 years."

Dummer Academy, called in its carlier years Dum- mer School, is still a flourishing and usefulinstitution, The trustees under the act of incorporation were lon. Jeremiah Powell, llon. Benjamin Greenleaf, Hon. Jonathan Greenleaf, Rev. Joseph Willard, Rev. Charles Chauncey, Rev. Moses Parsons, Rev. John Tucker, Rev. Thomas Carey, Samuel Moody, William Powell, Micajah Sawyer, Dummer Jewett, Samuel Osgood, Nathaniel Tracey and Richard Dummer, and among their successors have been Theophilus l'ar-

sons, Daniel Appleton White, John Pickering, Timo- thy Pickering, Samuel S. Wilde, Rev. Thomas B. Fox and Leverett Saltonstall.

Rev. Isaac Smith, of Boston, and a graduate of Harvard in 1767, succeeded Mr. Moody and served until 1809, when he returned to Boston, where he died in 1827. In 1797, during the administration of Mr. Smith, the academy received from the State a grant of half a township of land. Mr. Smith was followed by Benjamin Allen, a graduate of Brown University in 1797, who held the office only two years, being ap- pointed, in 1811, Professor of Ancient Languages in the Pennsylvania University. After leaving the pro- fessorship he taught an academy in Hyde Park, New York, where he died. Rev. Abiel Abbott, a native of Wilton, N. H., succeeded Mr. Allen in 1811, and served nntil 1819. He graduated at Harvard in 1787 and before going to Byfield was a tutor at Har- vard and pastor of a church in Coventry, Conn. After leaving the academy he lived for a time on his farm in Andover, after which he was settled over a church in Peterboro', N. Il., and died in 1859.

The successor of Mr. Abbott, in 1819, was Samuel Adams, a native of Georgetown and a graduate at Harvard in 1806. He taught school in Salem and was a member of the State Senate before going to By- field. Ile resigned in 1821 and died in the same year.

Mr. Adams was followed in 1821 by Nehemiah Cleaveland, a native of Topsfield, who had been a stn- dent in the academy, and who graduated at Bowdoin College in 1813. Before going to Byfield he was a tutor at Bowdoin, and after a service as principal of nineteen years he resigned in 1840, and was appointed principal of the High School of Lowell. He subse- quently received the appointment of principal of a female seminary in Brooklyn, N. Y.

The successor of Mr. Cleaveland was Rev. Frederick A. Adams, a native of New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and a graduate at Dartmouth College in 1834. When appointed principal, in 1840, he was a settled minister in Amherst, New Hampshire. The recent history of the Academy is too well known to be traced in this narrative.

In 1763 two hundred and six of the " water-side people," as they were called, petitioned the General Court to be set off from Newbury and incorporated as a town. In 1764 the prayer of the petitioners was granted and Newburyport was incorporated. The cir- cumstances attending the incorporation will be found more fully referred to in their appropriate place in the sketch of Newburyport.

Until the breaking out of the Revolution little oc- curred specially deserving mention in a narrative nec- essarily confined to the more prominent features in the town's history. Nor is it proposed to allnde to the causes which led to that event in our national career. It will be sufficient to state in a few words the part which Newbury took and record the names of the men it furnished in that memorable struggle.

In the varions wars which had affected the colony and province of Massachusetts, Newbury had been always inspired with patriotic sentiments, and had borne its full share of the burdens.

The settlement on the river Parker had been scarcely made before the Pequod War confronted the colonies, and Newbury was called on to furnish eight of the one hundred and sixty men included in the Massachusetts quota. In King Philip's Wars, be- tween August 5, 1675, and Jannary 28, 1676, New- bury furnished forty-eight men and forty six horses, and had thirty-seven men impressed, making eighty- five men out of one hundred and fifty-nine ratable polis.

In the French and Indian War, which not long after followed, Newbury was at the front, and Captain Stephen Greenleaf, Lieutenant James Smith, Ensign Win. Longfellow, Sergeant Increase Pillsbury, Wm. Mitchell and Jabez Mnsgrave were cast away and lost on an expedition against Cape Breton.

In the expedition against Lonisbourg in 1745 many Newbury soldiers were engaged, among whom was Major Moses Titcomb, a descendant of William Tit- comb, one of the early settlers. In the expedition against Crown Point, in 1754, Major Titcomb was prominent, and was killed in the battle of Lake George, September 8, 1755. On the plains of Quebec, with General Wolfe, Newbury had its representa- tives, among whom was William Davenport, who established the tavern which bore the name of his fallen commander.

William Davenport was born in Boston in 1717, and went to Newbury, where he married, in 1740, Sarah, the danghter of Moses Gerrish. In 1759 he was living in a honse on the corner of Liberty Street and Market Square, and before the expedition against Quebec, under General Wolfe, he received a captain's commission, and, recruiting a company, marched tojoin the army, and was present with his men at the surren- der of the French stronghold. When Capt. Davenport left home and wife and five children he gave his wife a guinea, all the money he had, and told her she must make that answer while he was gone. After an absence of seven months, he asked her, on his return, how "she had got along," and she answered by pro- ducing the guinea and presenting it to him. He shortly after established the " Wolfe Hotel," on the corner of Threadneedle Avenue and State Street, which was burned in the fire of 1811. A sign bear- ing a portrait of Gen. Wolfe, painted by Moses Cole, a French refugee, hung over the door, and is now in the museum of relics and curiosities at the home of the late Major Ben : Perley Poore, at Indian Hill.

The following is a roll of Capt. Davenport's com- pany, most of whom were probably residents in New- bury :

On the 29th of December, 1772, a committee of six- teen was appointed by the town " to take under con- sideration our publiek greavances " and "the in- fringment of our rights and liberties and report forth- with." The committee reported on the 4th of Janu- ary, 1772, and it was voted "to accept the report of their committee and that it be entered among the reports of the town, there to stand as a lasting memorial of the sense they have of their invaluable rights and of their steady determination to defend them in every lawful way as occasion may require."

On the 22d of December, 1773, it was voted by the town unanimously :

" Not to receive the tea sent by the East India Company to America upon the termis we are joformed it is now sent upon, and that this town will use their utmost endeavours to hinder the importation of tea in America, so long as the duty shall remain thereon, either by the East India Company or in any other way whatever."

On the 4th of January, 1774, a report and resolu- tions were adopted by the town, which closed with the following admonition :

" Beloved brethren, let us stand fast in the liberty, wherewith God and the British Constitutiou, in conjunction with our own, have made ns free, that neither we nor our posterity after us (through any faults of uurs) be entangled with the yoke of bondage."

The time having now arrived for actual hostilities to begin, Newbury entered into the patriot cause with ardent zeal, and at once set about furnishing men and means to make it successful. On the night after the battle of Lexington, soldiers were forwarded to Cam- bridge, and these were followed by a steady stream of recruits running through the seven years of the war. The following is a list of soldiers furnished by New- bury, as correct as it can be made up from the State archives.

After the passage of the Stamp Act, in 1765, a town- meeting was held in Newbury, on the 21st of October in that year, at which instructions were given to Joseph Gerrish, the Representative of Newbury, con- cerning his proper action in the premises. In the spring of 1770, by a vote of the town, a committee of sixteen was appointed to circulate a written agree- ment to be signed by persons agreeing not to purchase any goods of certain importers, and not to purchase or use any tea. The following is the agreement cir- culated by the committee :

" Whereas it evidently appears to be absolutely necessary for ye Political welfare of the Provinces to Discourage and by all Lawful Means Endeavour to prevent ye Transportation of Goods from Great Britain, and Encourage Industry, Oeconomy and Manufactures amongst our Selves ;

"We, therefore, ye Subscribers being Willing to Contribute our mite for the l'ublick Good, do hereby promise and Engage to and with each other, That we will, as much as in us lies, promote and Encourage ye use and Consumption of all useful Articles Manufactured io this Province, aud that we will not (knowingly), on any pretence what- ever, purchase auy goods of, or have any Concerns, by way of Trade, with, John Bernard, James Mc Masters, Patrick McMasters, John Meen, Nathaniel Rogers, William Jackson, Theophilus Lillie, John Taylor and Ame and Elizabeth Cummin, all of Boston, or Israel Williams, Esquire, and son, of Hatfield, or Ilenry Barns, of Marlborough, or any Person acting by or under them, or any of them, or any other person or persous whomsuever that shall or may import Goods from Great Britian contrary to ye Agreement of ye United Body of Merchants, or of any Persons that purchase of or Trades with them, or any of them ye sd Importers before a General Importation takes place (Debts before Contracted only excepted).

"And if it doth or may hereafter appear thint there is any Ship Builder in Newbury Port, or any other Town wheresoever in New England, that has so little regard for ye Publick welfare as to under- take to Build any Ship, Schooner or Sea-faring Vessel for any Foreign or any other Person, And take ye pay for yo same, or any part thereof, in Goods Imported Contrary to ye Agreement of sd Merchants, We promise and Engage not to have any Connection by way of Trade and Commerce (Debts before Contracted only excepted) with any such Ship Builder, nor sell them any materials for Building any Such Vessels But we will look up all Such Ship Builders (as well as Importers and Traders with Importers) as persons Destitute of ye principles of Common Humanity (Swayed only by their own Private Interest), Enemies to their Country and worthy of Contempt. Aud whereas a great part of ye Revenue arising by virtue of ye Acts of Parliament is produe'd from the duty and on Ten, We de, therefore, Solemnly Promise not to pur- chase any Foreign Tea or Suffer it to be us'd in our Families upon any Account until yo sd Revenne Acts are Repeal'd or a General Importa-
