HISTORY OF PLYMPTON.

mouth, from whence he removed to New Bedford, where he became, as is well known, largely and most successfully engaged in the whale-fishery. Jonathan married, first, Silence, daughter of Asaph Soule, and, second, Polly, daughter of Asa Sherman, by the last of whom he had Polly Stephens, born in 1809, who married Isaiah Churchill; Zaccheus, 1810, who mar- ried Betsey, daughter of Ansel Bartlett, of Plymouth ; Silence, 1812, who married Joshua C. Thompson ; Lucy, 1816, who married Thomas Loring; Betsey, 1818, who married Josiah S. Hammond ; Abigail Loring, 1822, who married Asaph Wood; Hannah Stephens, 1824; and Jonathan, 1826, who married Helen, daughter of Jacob Parker, of New Bedford. He first engaged in the manufacture of shovels, and afterwards in the management of a store, which, since his time conducted by his son, Zaccheus, and grandson, Lewis Bradford Parker, is now successfully carried on by a great-grandson, the son of Lewis, whose recent death closed a life honorable to himself and useful to his fellow-citizens. Oliver, the oldest son, bought of his father, in 1803, the forge and blacksmith-shop which he had carried on, and continued in the busi- ness of his father. After his death the works were successively carried on by his son, Oliver, and grand- son, Gustavus, and under the ownership of the last, while managed by Nathaniel Sherman, they were burned.

In 1822 a rolling-mill was erected near the shovel- works, and conducted by Ebenezer Lobdell, either under his ownership or that of a company, on a priv- ilege bought of Oliver Parker in that year. At that date, which was the culminating period of the manu- facturing industries of the town, there were within its limits four grist-mills, five saw-mills, the iron-mill above referred to, a cotton-factory, and a cotton- and woolen-factory. The iron company finally failed, and the property, after passing through the hands of N. Russell & Co., of Plymouth, was sold to Oliver Parker, who took down the mill and used the mate- rial in rebuilding his shovel-works. The cotton-fac- tory, built in 1813, is now engaged in the manu- facture of shoestrings. The cotton- and woolen- factory, on the same stream with the cotton-factory and shovel-works and rolling-mill, was built in 1814 and burned not many years since. Soon after the erection of the rolling-mill its owners bought of Martin Hayward a privilege on the south branch of Jones River, and erected a nail-factory, from which the plates used in the manufactory of nails were rolled at their mill. On the failure of the company this property came into the hands of Mr. Hayward, the old owner of the privilege, who at first engaged

in the manufacture of horseshoe-nails. In 1863, Priscella F. Hayward sold the factory to E. Y. Perry & Co., of Hanover, who in 1866 sold it to Franklin P. Farrar, who, in turn, sold it in 1867 to Mary Harrub. The old mill and privilege are now used by Frederick M. Harrub, the son of Mary Harrub, for the manufacture of tacks. The manufacturing industry of the town is now limited to several saw- and grist-mills, the shoestring-factory, the factory of Mr. Harrub, and a shoe-factory under the manage- ment of Mr. George Randall, which is situated on the westerly side of the road facing the green.

In connection with this period in the life of Plynip- ton it is proper to make some allusion to one of its sons, to whom not only the town in its corporate capacity, but every descendant from its early settlers, is indebted for the conscientious thoroughness and fidelity with which he gathered up and recorded the incidents of its history. Lewis Bradford was a lineal descendant from Governor William Bradford, through the second William, John, Samuel, Gideon and Levi. Samuel, born in 1683, removed early to Plympton. He married, in 1714, Sarah, daughter of Edward Gray, of Tiverton, and among his children had Gideon, born in Plympton in 1718, who married, in 1741, Jane, daughter of Ichabod Paddock. Gideon had among his children Levi, born in Plympton in 1743, who married, in 1764, Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel Lewis, of Pembroke. Elizabeth Lewis was the granddaughter of Rev. Daniel Lewis, the first minister of Pembroke, and from her family the sub- ject of this sketch derived his name. Lewis Bradford was the son of Levi, and was born in Plympton in 1768. In 1807 he was admitted a member of the Plympton Church, and shortly after chosen its clerk. In 1814 he was chosen deacon, and held that position until his death. His church records are extremely full, carefully written, and in the narration of current events, and in memoranda relating to the ancient his- tory of the precinct, possess a value which few records of that character can equal. He was chosen town clerk in 1812, and until his death the town records are full of evidence that he performed his official duties with even more completeness than the law required or the most exacting demands of his con- stituents could expect. The writer has examined many town records, and it is a wholly inadequate characterization of those .of Mr. Bradford to say that for general statement, genealogical information, and historic hints he has never seen them equaled or even approached.

He was a member of the Legislature in 1842-44, and, as a mark of their respect, the meinbers represent-

ing the Whig party, to which he belonged, presented him with a gold-headed canc. In addition to the church and town records, to which he devoted much ' of his time, he kept a voluminous diary which, if care- fully examincd, would probably disclose much of value to the student of Old Colony history. This diary has been presented to the Congregational Association in Boston, and is deposited in a ease in the library of the association, to which a label is attached describ- ing the contents. A private and personal diary, be- gun March 30, 1802, when the writer was thirty- four years and ten days old, and continued until the day before his death, Aug. 9, 1851, fills ninety vol- umes, in nineteen pareels. A journal of religious meetings and conferences, funerals, etc., from June 18, 1809, to Aug. 8, 1851, fills thirty-two volumes, in eight parcels ; a private record of deaths and funerals from June 8, 1815, to May 27, 1851, fills six vol- umes, in two parcels, and a supplementary volume contains all the deaths from Jan. 1, 1812, to May 11, 1846. These one hundred and thirty-one duo- decimo volumes contain, aceording to an estimate made by the writer, who has seen them, twenty-one thousand one hundred and twenty pages. Mr. Brad- ford was thrown from a carriage while returning from church Aug. 10, 1851, and almost instantly killed. It is proper to add the suggestion that the records of Mr. Bradford, as well as the earlier records of the town, should not be permitted to exist in a single copy. It would be a wise and prudent act on the part of the town to cause accurate copies to be made at once and deposited in the registry of deeds for the county. Neither the town nor the community at large can afford to lose by fire or otherwise so valua- ble a depository of historical and genealogical lore.

Another gentleman representing this precinct in the history of Plympton was Zabdiel Sampson. He was a lineal descendant from Abraham Sampson, who came from England about 1629 and settled in Dux- bury. George, the son of Abraham, removed to Plympton, and among his sons had George, born in 1691, who married in 1718 Hannah, daughter of Benjamin Soule. Among the sons of George was Zabdiel, born in 1727, who married first, in 1747, Abigail, daughter of Benjamin Cushman, and second, Abiah, daughter of Richard Whitmarsh, of Abing- ton. By his second wife he had George, born in 1755, who married, in 1780, Hannah, daughter of Richard Cooper, and had 'Zabdiel in question, born in 1781, and Schuyler, 1797, who became a well- known and respceted citizen of Plymouth. Zabdiel married in 1804, Ruth, daughter of Ebenezer Lob- dell, of Plympton, and had Milton Lobdell, 1805,

Eudora Rowland, 1807, who married Francis L. Al- den; Algernon Sydney, 1809, Marcia Lobdell, 1811, who married John H. Cogshall, of New Bedford, and John Hornby, of Poughkeepsie; Maria Louisa, who married Daniel Ricketson, of New Bedford ; Algernon Sydney again, 1815, who married Adeline Lombard ; Ruth Lobdell, 1819, who married Daniel Hathaway, of Fair Haven ; Zabdiel Silsbee, 1821, who married Helen M. Bird, and Judith Lobdell and Nancy Ripley (twins), 1827, the last of whom married James L. Baker, of Hingham. Mr. Sampson graduated at Brown University in 1803, and devoted himself to the study of law. He afterwards removed to Plym- outh, and in 1816 was chosen a representative to Congress. He was active in the affairs of his adopted town, and in 1820 was appointed collector of customs for the port of Plymouth, the duties of which he continued to perform until his death in 1728.

To Henry Martyn Dexter, another representative of the later history of Plympton, reference has already been made. His father was the pastor of the Plymp- ton Church from 1809 to 1851, and his mother was Mary, daughter of Nathaniel Morton, a sister of Gov- ernor Marcus Morton, and a descendant from George Morton, who came in the " Ann" in 1623. Mr. Dexter was born in Plympton Aug. 13, 1821, and graduated at Yale College in 1840. In 1844 he graduated from the Andover Theological Seminary, and was ordained November 9th in the same year as pastor of the Franklin Street Church in Manchester, N. H. He remained in Manchester until 1849, when he was settled over the Pine Street Society in Boston, which later became the Berkeley Street Congregational Society. In 1843 he received the degree of A.M. from Yale, in 1863 the same degree from Brown University, in 1865 the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the University of Iowa, and in 1880 the degree of S.T.D. from Yale, and in 1867 retired from the ministry to devote him- self to literary pursuits, in which his labors have been assiduous and distinguished. From 1859 to 1866 he was associate editor of the Congregationul Quarterly, and during the same period associate editor of the Congregationalist. Since 1867 he has been editor- in-chief of the Congregationalist, and from 1877 to 1879 he was lecturer on Congregationalism in Andover Theological Seminary. Hc has been also prolific in contributions to the " Encyclopædia Britannica," the British Quarterly, and the " Memorial History of Boston." Besides pamphlets, occasional sermons, and papers of transient interest he has published "Street Thoughts," in 1859; " Twelve Discourses," in 1860; " Congregationalism : what it is; whence it is; how

He also edited "Church's King Philip's War and Eastern Expeditions," a literal re- print, in 1865 ; in the same year " Mourt's Relation," a literal reprint ; and in 1881, " Roger Williams' Christenings make not Christians," a long-lost tract printed in 1645, and exactly reprinted. Dr. Dexter married Nov. 19, 1844, Emeline, daughter of Simeon Palmer, of Boston, and has had four children, Henry Morton (born July 12, 1846, who married, June 9, 1881, Emily Loud, daughter of Hon. John E. San- ford, of Taunton), Winifred (born July 1, 1849, who died the day after her birth), Lizzie Clarendon (born Aug. 20, 1851, who died Dec. 31, 1861), Mary Palmer (born Nov. 21, 1856, who died Oct. 29, 1861). He mow resides in New Bedford, where it is understood that he is engaged in the preparation of a new history of Plymouth Colony. Such a work from such competent hands cannot fail to receive a cordial welcome.

Nor in mentioning the distinguished men who have claimed Plympton as their birthplace, must William Bradford of Bristol, R. I., be omitted, whose name was overlooked in the description of the period to which he belonged. He was a lineal descendant from the Governor whose name he bore. He was the brother of Gideon Bradford, the grandfather of Lewis Bradford already referred to. He was born in 1729, and married in 1750, Mary, daughter of William Le | hereby directed to transmit the said Patent to Josiah Colton,

B. James; Le Baron, 1754, who married Sarah, daughter of Thomas Davis, of Plymouth ; John, who married Jemima Wardwell ; Hersey, who married Abby De Wolf and Abby Atwood; Lydia, who mar- ried James Collins; Nancy, who married James De Wolf; Mary, who married Henry Goodwin, and Hannah, who married G. Baylies. Mr. Bradford re- moved soon after his marriage to Bristol, and became Deputy Governor, Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, and United States senator.

In connection with the Bradford family of Plymp- ton it may not be out of place to state that probably that branch of the Governor's family was the deposi- tory of many of the valuable papers belonging to the archives of the Old Colony. William, the oldest son, probably received them from his father and trans- mitted them to his oldest son, John, of Kingston. Samuel, of Plympton, was the son of John, and to his family have already been traced two invaluable illustrations of Old Colony history. One of these is Governor's Bradford's history of Plymouth Planta- tions, and the other the patent issued to the Governor and his associates by the Council for New England in 1629.

By a recent discovery in the court records at the State-House the writer is enabled to fill the gap which has previously existed in the history of the latter important relic. He has in his possession a letter dated 1741, from an attorney in Boston to Josiah Cotton, of Plymouth, stating that with refer- ence to the controversy then going on relative to the boundary between Massachusetts and Rhode Island it was important that the patent then inissing should be found. Mr. Cotton afterwards stated in his diary that it was found after diligent search in the possession of a Bradford family in Plympton. From that time until 1820, when the commissioners appointed by the Legislature to examine the Old Colony records reported that they found it in the office of the Plymouth reg- istry of deeds, its wanderings have never been recorded. The entry discovered by the writer shows, however, that when it was found it was placed in the hands of Samuel Wells, one of the Council, where it remained until 1749, when it was sent to the Plymouth Reg- istry, where it has since remained. The entry is as follows :

"In Council, January 20, 1749. It being represented to this Board that the Patent of the Colony of New Plymouth is in the hands of Samuel Wells, Esq., being delivered to him divers years since for the service of this government, voted that the said Mr. Wells be and hereby is directed to deliver to the Sec -. retary the said Patent who after he has recorded the same is

Esq., Registor of the County of Plymouth and other public papers which he may have in his hands."

It is not improbable that other portions of the archives of inestimable value, including the famous compact itself, may have found their resting-place in Plympton, and been finally destroyed either by eare- lessness or unavoidable aceident.

Until the war of the Rebellion nothing worthy of relation occurred in the history of Plympton. During that protraeted struggle its patriotie efforts were simi- lar to those of other towns in the Old Colony. On the 16th of April, 1861, the day after the surren- der of Fort Sumter, in obedience to orders received during the night of the 15th, twenty-two Plympton men, members of Company H, of the Third Regiment of Massachusetts militia, reported on Boston Com- mon. These were as follows :
