WALLIS FAMILY.
CAPT. BENJAMIN WALLIS. The first by the name of Wal- lis who settled in this town came from Seekonk. He was of Scotch descent, and located himself in the westerly part of the town, on the place now owned by Elbridge G. Wallis, about the year 1750, he being then some twenty-seven years of age. His log cabin stood on the site of the present house. Soon after this he married a lady from Sutton, named Lydia Dudley.
Captain Wallis was a man well known in this section. He was prominent in town affairs, having been for eighteen years on the board of Selectmen. He was a member of the First Congregational Church at the Center, where he was a constant attendant, giving freely for the support of public worship. He died at the age of 91, his wife Lydia dying Oct. 23, 1820, aged 92. They left a family of five sons and three daughters. His sons were all of large stature, powerfully built, very strong and active, and were also naturally ingenious, depending largely upon their ingenuity and skill to pro- vide articles for home use. They were also very successful in mak- ing wooden plows, tubs, pails, barrels, etc. Two of these sons, Samuel and James, built themselves a hand-sled, and in company with three others figured prominently in the famous trip of the " Douglas Fleet" to Boston, the particulars of which are narrated elsewhere.
