HISTORY OF THE
settled in Worcester, David in Southboro, and Daniel, our ancestor, in Berlin. In 1731 Daniel bought of Jonathan Wheeler 1 16 acres, "all in one lot," bounded west by the Gates farm. Roger settled first in Southboro, but afterwards moved to the west of the Assabet, together with his two sons, Benjamin and John, where they settled. Son, Daniel, settled on the farm known as the Ira Brown place. No family has a nobler record for patriotism than the Bruces, as appears from the services of members of the family in the old French and Indian war, the war of the Revolution and the war of the Rebellion. Tradi- tion has it they are a branch of the celebrated Bruces of Scotland, of which Robert was king in 1305, but no records have been found making the connection.

He m. Hannah, a dau. of James Wil- son; had a numerous family and d. 1734. His successor on the place was his son, Isaac. Simon, another son, settled west of Clamshell pond. A number of the Butler family settled in Troy and Marlboro, N. H.

CANOUSE.
John Canouse lived south of the Bolton station; was. thrown from his horse and killed at his home; he was a deserter from Burgoyne's army; a native of Ger- many. He m. Phebe Butler of Bolton in 1780, and was probably at one time one of the Six Nations. district.
CARTER.
Rev. Thomas Carter, the first of the name in New England, and claimed to be the progenitor of all here who bear it, was b. in England in 1610; graduated at Cambridge College, Eng., about 1635 ; was known here first as an elder in the church at Dedham, then in Watertown: he became pastor in Woburn in 1642: his salary was eighty pounds, one-fourth in silver, the remainder in necessaries of family use; later twenty cords of wood were added. His wife's name was Mary Dalton. He d. in office in 1684; one item of funeral expenses was fourteen gallons of wine. Had eight children, who scattered widely. His dau., Mary, m. into the heroic and patriotic Wyman family of Woburn, represented in Shrews- bury by the Revolutionary patriot, Ross Wyman. The first s. was Samuel, b. in Woburn in 1640; graduated at Harvard College in 1660; he exercised his gifts in the ministry, but was not designated by the term "Rev.," because not in the pastorate ; now all our theologues are recognized as "Rev." A library valued at fifteen pounds in those times indi- cates that perhaps he was more given to literature than to preaching. His father bought him a home:
.316
HISTORY OF THE
on George hill in Lancaster in 1668. He was "an occasional supply" in Lancaster and also in Groton, where he was called in 1692. He d. in 1693.
Rev. Samuel Carter', s. of Rev. Thomas of Woburn, in. Eunice Brooks in Woburn; rem. to Lancaster ; had nine children; one of these, Samuel', b. in Lan- caster Jan. 7, 1678, m. in 1701, Dorothy Wilder; her mother was Mary Savage, dau. of Thomas, Jr., another leading force in the blood of young Lancaster, and Savage's mother was dau. of John Prescott,-so we have a quadruple alliance of energy in our Carter stock. No wonder there was not a bald head in the late Woburn convention of Carters. Had by wife, Dorothy, twelve children; one of these, Samuel3, b. 1703, m. in 1725 Jemima Houghton, and they had eleven children; Stanton, b. Feb. 5, 1738, was the eighth. He was the head of the Berlin families; his first residence was in Leominster, where he gained citizenship. In 1763 he bought land of Benjamin Houghton on east side of Third Division hill; in 1770 he bought of Timothy Temple "in south part of Lancaster." This last probably locates him upon the Central Mass. railroad in Boylston, near the Berlin line. The homestead is still marked by two little graves, easterly of Henry C. Hastings' place.
Stanton Carter, s. of Samuela of Lancaster, in. Penina, dau. of Daniel Albert, who lived just across the Boylston line, May 27, 1762; in his old age he lived near his s., Daniel, on the H. D. Coburn place; he went to Maine with his s., Stanton, but returned and d. here in 1823. Wid. d. June 18, 1825. Had Daniel, b. Nov. 27, 1762; Sanderson, b. Aug. 17,
