Mr. Walker was a man of much natural ability, enterprise, and executive energy. At the head of the firm of Walker, Johnson, & Co., he was very successful in business; and a promising career of temporal prosperity seemed to illuminate his future. But his skies were soon darkened by clouds of adversity. His health began to fail; and he went West into a new business, in hope of regaining it, which proved a disappointment. He returned to Mil. with an ambition to triumph over disease by his native energy. He could not, but, through the sinking gradations of a long and distressing decline, finally passed away. He d. in hope of an immortal life, April 6, 1872, leaving his sorely bereaved family to battle as best they could with the desolations which had overwhelmed them.

HARVEY WELLINGTON, b. Mil., June 22, 1868.
Mr. W. set. in Mil. 28 yrs. ago, and has held the office of deacon in the Cong. ch. for the last 23. He has honored that office, and all his other respon- sible positions in the various relationships of life, by eminently exemplary moral rectitude and worth, in which his family have sympathetically shared.
WALKER, MOSES, ancestry traced only to his gd. fr., Timothy Walker. He
was doubtless a descendant of Capt. Richard through Henry.4 The gd. son is an enterprising boot-manufacturer in our Centre. Timothy Walker, the gd. fr., a farmer, was b. in Hop., Feb. 12, 1753. He m. Lois Gibbs, b. in Sudbury, Nov. 6, 1756; date and particulars of cer. not given. Mr. W. was one of the old Revolutionaries, and somewhat of a genius in his rustic way. When Gen. William Hull, also a Revolutionary veteran, surrendered Fort Detroit and his little army to the British, in the war of 1812, Mr. W. was one of the many deeply disgusted patriots who denounced Hull as a coward and traitor. Though little of a scholar, he conceived the ambition to tell Gen. Hull what he thought of him in a private letter. After this, he was urged and encouraged by zealous friends to have his letter printed. As Hull had not deigned to answer him, he thought it ungenerous to pub- lish his strictures without giving the general an opportunity to reply in his own defence. But, of course, he got no response to his second letter any more than to his first; though it warned the traitor, that, if he persisted in his silent contempt, he would soon be exposed in print. Both letters appear to have been written in 1820, and about nine months apart. The first was of very considerable length, the second was brief. Both were soon printed in a pamphlet. They were so serio-comical as to make quite a stir in Hop. and its general vicinity, exciting in some minds grave and in others mirth- ful emotions. They were reprinted in the "Hopkinton Observer" of Nov. 11, 1874, a copy of which has just been sent me by his gd. son Moses. I very well remember a volunteer toast given by the old gentleman at a 4th

of July celebration by the Democrats of Mil. and neighboring towns. It was held in what used to be called the Lower Village, soon after I became minister at the brick ch. The president of the day announced, "You will now please give your attention to a volunteer toast from Mr. Timothy Walker of Hopkinton, author of letters to Gen. Hull." [Much merriment.] The toast was a long and studied one, "Party spirit, - that wicked and baneful party spirit, by which kingdoms and empires have been over- thrown, and by which too many of the good people of this town have been greatly led astray;" here he made a semicolon pause to renew his breath. Whereupon our enthusiastic Horatio N. Smith, director of gunnery for the occasion, supposing him through, gave the signal, and off went the fieldpiece, followed by a general shout of applause. Somewhat discom- fited, but without loss of pluck, the venerable toaster cried out at the top of his voice, "Hear the rest : I was not half through." Order being restored by the president, Mr. W. began anew, and reaching the semicolon, as above, proceeded, "may that wicked and baneful party spirit be plucked up by the roots, transported to the island of Java, and set in battle array with the Bohon-Upas tree, till it shall be proved which is most poisonous, party spirit or that Bohon-Upas tree." Another gun and a general shout. Timothy Walker d. in Hop., Nov. 20, 1834. Mrs. Lois, his wid., d. Bell., April 17, 1850, a. 94 yrs. Otis Walker, son of Timothy and Lois, b. in Hop., Aug. 6, 1800; m.

WARD. We have had but a slight sprinkling of the Wards. They have preferred to dwell in the neighboring towns, and other more distant localities.
WARD, ELIJAH, was m. to Hannah Reed, by Rev. Mr. Frost, July 27, 1749; and he baptized 2 chn. for them; viz., CALEB and HANNAH, both the same day, Oct. 25, O. S., 1752. Then they disappeared.

These are the Wards of olden times. Latterly the name has increased in our directories; but as none of the modern Wards have signified their desire to be recognized in this vol., I shall allow my closing haste to excuse their omission. WARE. This name was formerly spelled Waer, but later Ware.

Mr. Ware, if I rightly recollect, was a skilful and industrious painter. But he attained only to middle age. He d. May 25, 1839, a. 43 yrs. His venerable and worthy wid. still survives. Concerning her 3 younger chn. I have no in- formation.

I have lost all trace of this family, but think I have been told that the parents have both gone the way of all the earth.
WARE, LUCY, an intelligent and worthy sister of the aforenamed two bros., used to res. much in Mil. I saw her in Holl. a few months since; and she told me the husband's name of whom, in a green old age, she survives the wid. But my memory does not retain the particulars of her story.
WARFIELD. Our Warfields all descended from Dea. John of Mendon. He was in Dedham as early as 1642, and prob. came from Eng. a few yrs. before. He was made freeman, and m. Hannah Randall. They were next at Medfield, whence they came to Mendon town-seat in 1685. He dwelt on the George place, and seems to have soon grown into public confidence. He was made deacon of the ch., put in charge of the meeting-house, and appointed schoolmaster of the chn. and youth, - the first master of the common schools that mother Mendon ever had. He must, therefore, have stood high for piety, intelligence, and general trustworthiness. He is said to have m., 1st., Eliza- beth Sheppard, by whom he had John, Aug. 20, 1662, and Elizabeth, Aug. 29, 1665. The 1st wf. d. May 24, 1669; then the hus. m. Peregrina -, who. d. April 1, 1671.

But I am not quite sure of all the forestated data. I may have misunderstood my authorities on some points. Dea. John d. April 12, 1692. Now, as his son Elihu was prob. the progenitor of all our Mil. War- fields, I shall confine myself to him and his descendants. He dwelt in Mendon, on the homestead now owned by John Gaskill.

I understand that Ruth Green's fr., whose name is said to have been John, dwelt on the Samuel Warfield place, long so called; and that the second Elihu, either by purchase or through his wf.'s inheritance, came into possession of that estate. It continued in possession of his de- scendants till after the death of the late Homer J. Warfield, his gt. gd. son.

Those old enough in this vicinity to recollect him, will remember how erect he stood in his old age, how his countenance lighted up, and how emphati- cally he shook his queue, when he had a chance to expatiate on his favor- ite theme. He m. Margaret Gay, or Margery as the old scribes wrote it; cer. March 22, 1780. I am a little mystified about their oldest chn. The Mendon records begin with Samuel, jun., in 1789.
