JUDSON. A rare name among us. Only one family bearing it has ever res. in town, to my knowledge, - that of Andrew W. Judson. He tells me that his gt. gd. fr., name not remembered, came from Eng. perhaps about 1740, and set. in Stratford, Ct. There, among other chn., he had a son ANDREW, b. Feb. 1, 1749, whom he educated at Dartmouth College, whence he grad. about 1773,

Intelligent, enterprising, and worthy family. Mr. J. came into Mil. 1853, and set. up as a photographer - the first in that line the town had. He prose- cuted that artistic pursuit with fair success 15 yrs. ; then sold out, and rested a yr .; then embarked in the house-furnishing business with George M. Sawtelle and A. S. Tuttle, under the firm-title Judson, Sawtelle, & Co .; but at the expi- ration of 6 yrs. removed to Mendon, where he has res., in the pursuit of various avocations, down to the present time. His son, William Henry, after qualify- ing himself by suitable preparatory studies, commenced the practice of medicine in Plainfield, Ct., and is now a promising physician in our midst.

KELLEY. About the yr. 1779 Jeremiah Kelley came into possession of the ancient Benjamin Alby corn-mill premises and appendages, afterwards called the Alvan Allen place, and now chiefly owned by Lewis B. Gaskill. Whence Jeremiah Kelley came, or to what family branch of the Kelleys he belonged, I have not been at the pains to ascertain. He seems to have been a clothier, or to have been the fr. of three sons who were clothiers. I infer that he bought of William Sheffield, or his heirs, this mill-privilege, which included a clothier's establishment, for the benefit of his sons. They soon set. on and near it, whether by his gift while yet alive, or last will and testament, I have not informed myself. There our records show them to have made their homes. And they were all of the Society of Friends, as prob. their parents had been before them. Their names were George, Luke, and Wing.
KELLEY, GEORGE, son of Jeremiah; birth-date, etc., not ascertained; m.
Keziah -; ptge., birth-date, etc., not found; cer. according to custom of Friends. Their chn., as recorded here, were, -
REBECCA, b. Nov. 21, 1785.
RHODA, b. March 18, 1787; m. Benjamin Bates; survived him, and d. Aug. 24, 1878, a. 91.
SAMSON, b. April 18, 1789.
SYLVIA, b. July 5, 1795.
SETH, b. March 5, 1800.
It seemed to be very difficult for me to obtain the data I needed to make out a full record of this family, and I gave it up. So I am unable to give births, mges., and deaths, as I would like. From what I can learn, George Kelley and his family had a respectable standing in society, and were worthy people.
KELLEY, LUKE, son of Jeremiah; birth-date, etc., not ascertained; m. Hannah Drusey, according to usage of Friends; date of cer. not ascertained. Our records credit them with chn. as follows :-
DRUSEY, b. Oct. 5, 1781; m. Dexter Carpenter of Mendon, 1801.
BETSEY, b. April 18, 1786; m. Newell Nelson in the spring of 1806.
ALEXANDER, b. Feb. 10, 1789; d. Jan. 19, 1798.
JEREMIAH, b. March 11, 1796; m. Louisa Cutler, Sept. 11, 1825.
HANNAH, b. Jan. 6, 1798; m. Vervilla Taft of Mendon; d. recently.
LUZERN, b. April 20, 1800; m. Ellis Taft of Mendon; she d. Dec. 10, 1868.
A worthy and deservedly respected family. They have all passed away. Hannah, next to the youngest, lingered last on the shores of time, re- siding with her chn. in Providence, R.I., an aged wid. Luke, the hus. and fr., d. in this town, Oct. 16, 1828; and Hannah, his wid., April 10, 1835.
KELLEY, WING, son of Jeremiah; birth-date, etc., not traced; m. Mary Gaskill of Mendon, dr. of George and Sarah (Reed) Gaskill, b. 1751; cer. Dec., 1803. Their chn. : -
SARAH, b. June 12, 1804; m. Rev. George W. Stacy, Oct. 16, 1834.
GEORGE, b. Feb. 7, 1806; understood to have d. young.
SYLVIA, b. Jan. 3, 1809; m. Calvin Barber, jun., then of Bell., April 19, 1830.

KELLEY AND KENDALL.
MARY ANN, b. June 21, 1816; d. Dec. 3, 1823.
A family of like worthiness and good repute with the preceding. The hus. and fr. d. in early middle age, very soon after his youngest child, Dec. 14, 1823, leaving his family in deep affliction. Mrs. Mary, his wid., d. in the family of her dr., Mrs. Stacy, in Mil., where she had been dutifully cared for, Oct. 26, 1851, a. 80 yrs.
KELLEY, JEREMIAH, son of Luke, and gd. son of the first-mentioned Jere-
miah, b. March 11, 1796; m. Louisa Cutler, dr. of Moses and Nancy (Mel- len) Cutler, b. 1803; cer. in Mil., Sept. 11, 1825, by the writer. Their chn. : -
AN INFANT, b. Feb. 28, 1830; d. Aug. 29, 1830.
JEREMIAH MELLEN, b. Nov. 5, 1836; m. Amanda Cook, Winfield, N. Y.
I have a vague impression that more chn. were born to these parents, and d. in early infancy, but have not found a record of any. I am sure, however, that Jeremiah Mellen Kelley is their only surviving offspring. Mrs. Louisa d. in Mil., Feb. 2, 1855. He d. in Mendon, Dec. 23, 1856. They both had a repu- table pedigree, and stood well 'in the estimation of the community. He was naturally enterprising, and entered somewhat into trade. He was quite an intelligent thinker, and independent in his opinions. When the Anti-slavery movement arose, he was an early convert. and took hold zealously with the Liberty party, which merged into the Free Soil, and finally into the Republican party. He was also an active citizen in town affairs, serving as selectman, assessor, and, in 1841, as representative to the Legislature.
KELLEY, JEREMIAH MELLEN, son of Jeremiah and Louisa (Cutler) Kelley, b. as above; left this part of the country unm. He finally set. in or near Utica, N.Y., where he is successfully operating a variety store. I am told that he m., in Winfield, N. Y., a gd. dr. of Otis Cook, who was an elder bro. of Peter Cook, deceased, who was gd. fr. of our Cook brothers at the meat market. Her name is said to be Amanda, as given above. No par- ticulars reported concerning the mge. They have no chn.
Numerous other Kelleys have dwelt among us latterly. I find the names of 22 in our Directory for 1880; but none of these have reported a family record for insertion in this work. I suppose most of them are Irish Americans.
KENDALL, DANIEL, ancestry, ptge., birth-date, etc., not traced; m. Anna Nelson Parkhurst. dr. of Amasa and Hopestill (Nelson) Parkhurst, b. Mil., July 18, 1797; cer. Mil., Nov. 7, 1819, by Rev. D. Long. ' Issue : - LUCY MARIA, b. Mil., Sept. 26, 1820.
There were other chn. b. elsewhere. Our records do not enable me to trace this family further. I have an impression of being told that they left town, and that parents and chn., one after another, d., till the whole family became extinct.
KENDALL, GEORGE HARRIS 7 (Amasa,6 Nathan,5 Thomas,4 Eliezer,3 Thomas,2 Francis 1), b. Framingham, Aug. 18, 1820; mr.'s maiden name, Abigail May- hew; m. Harriet Clementina Wales, dr. of John Mc. and Phebe G. (Bartlett) Wales, b. Mil., Jan. 2, 1827; cer. March 10, 1847, by Rev. Benjamin Wood of Upton. Their chn. : -
PHEBE MARIA, b. Mil., May 22, 1849.
GEORGE HARRIS, b. Mil., June 16, 1850; d. Sept. 3, 1855.
WILLIAM HENRY, b. Mil., Sept. 14, 1857.
A worthy family in good standing. Mr. K. is an industrious, efficient car- penter, who minds his own business, and is an orderly townsman. He has res.

in town over 37 yrs. He reports his fr., Amasa Kendall, to have d. Sept. 4, 1870, a. 83 yrs. 9 mos. and 17 days; also his mr., Abigail (Mayhew) Kendall, to have d. Nov. 3, 1867, a. 76 yrs. 2 mos. and 1 day.
KENDALL, LYMAN, and wf. Nancy, pedigrees not ascertained, are credited on our records with three births; viz., -
MARY ABIGAIL, b. Jan. 2, 1822; m. Willard F. Barber, Nov. 11, 1842; she d. May 5, 1881.
NANCY AMELIA, b. March 24, 1824; untraced ; prob. d.
GEORGE LYMAN, b. July 4, 1838; m., 1st, Adaline F. Treat; 2d, Sarah A. Batson.
Worthy people. If I do not misrecollect, Mr. Kendall d. since 1875. His venerable wid. still survives, being kindly cared for in the family of her son-in- law, W. F. Barber, in Framingham. The recent loss of her excellent dr., Mary A. Barber, was a crushing bereavement to her, as to all the family. George Lyman res. in New York City. He has lost two wives, I think, and is child- less. Such, at least, is my impression of statements made to me about the time of his sister Barber's funeral.

KENT, ISAAC, and Rachel, his 1st wf., were received into our Cong. ch., April
11, 1746, on recommendation from the 2d ch. in Hingham, so they prob. came from Hingham to our Precinct not long before the above date. I have no convenient means of tracing them behind this record. They set., if I mistake not, on a farm in the south-easterly part of Bear-hill district. They had the following-named chn. :-

The fore-named chn. were all duly baptized, and the ch. records of about the last birth-date say that Mr. Kendall was dismissed to the ch. in " Anap- olis, Granville." I do not quite understand where " Anapolis, Granville," was. Anapolis is misspelled ; and there were Granvilles in our county of Hampshire,

in Vt., N. Y., etc. It seems rather likely that a parish or village in Granville Mass., was meant; but I have not time to ascertain. This dismissal to the ch. in Granville is the last I learn of Isaac Kent and his family. I recollect no one of this name on our records from Isaac's departure till the arrival of -

Immediately thereafter he opened his law-office in Mil., and has since devoted himself to the practice of his profession with eminent success. He takes rank among our foremost lawyers, if not at their head; has been intrusted with much public and private responsibility; stands high as a citizen, and represented our legislative district in the Gen. Ct. of 1869. He has been twice m. : 1st, to Annie E. Snyder, dr. of Peter and Sarah (Free- land) Snyder, b. Claverack, N.Y .; cer. 1840; further particulars not given.

KILBURN, JOHN,1 was the first of this name in our vicinage. I have not ascertained his ancestry. He prob. came from Rowley. He took up 15 acs. of land on the north side of the Cedar Swamp, March 22, 1723. He after- wards acquired several parcels, either out of common, or by purchase from individuals, till he became a considerable landholder. The larger body of this property was near the Cedar Swamp, on the west side of our present Cedar St., extending southerly from the swamp through Horace B. Hero's homestead, across Main St., to Bear Hill. He m. Rebecca; but who she was, when, where, or by whom in., I have not ascertained. Their chn. :- MARY, b. June 4, 1729.

I do not find that the parents were members of the Cong. ch., as might naturally be supposed, but learn nothing from the records to the disparagement of their moral character. John Kilburn d. April 4, 1753. Date of his wf.'s death not found.
KILBURN, JOSIAH,2 son of John and Rebecca, b. 1731; m., 1st, Deborah At- wood, of whose parentage, birth-date, etc., I am not certain. She was a sister of Mrs. Moses Chapin, Eldad Atwood, Mrs. Daniel Daniels, and Mrs. John Beals. Cer. March 18, 1756, by Rev. Amariah Frost. Their chn. :-
