Webber, only son of Abner Webber, was born in Holland, Feb. 15, 1819. Of a kind and generous hearted people, it was natural that he should manifest the same ad- mirable traits for testimony is not lacking that he was a kind hearted townsman and sympathetic neighbor. He was no respector of persons but allowed the ministries of his heart and hand to go out to the poorest especially in times of need and of affliction. Such a man would have friends and be placed in offices of trust and honor. His name is found in the list of town officers and in the church his influence was for good; strengthening it by word, by work, by life, his regular attend- ance, worship and helpfulness in the choir will be long remem- bered. He married Delphia S. Parsons, b. 1824; d. Aug. 19, 1893. They had three sons, Henry, David and Fred. Delphia S. Par- sons was sister to Mr. J. T. S. Parsons, still living, and over ninety years of age (his home being at East Hadley, Mass.), whose reminiscences of Holland in his boyhood days furnished the greater part of the material for the description of those customs that make the home life of those times so interest- ing to us now. The son Henry married Ellen M. daughter

THE WELD FAMILY
THE WELD FAMILY.
The Weld family as here presented is taken from a pam- phlet entitled, "Some of my Ancestors" by William Allan Weld, who resides in Mansfield, Conn., and who is a grandson of Willard Weld who lived in Holland and kept store near Fuller bridge with his son Stephen C. Weld. He held various offices in town, serving as selectman several years, and was representative to General Court in 1842. He married Mary P. Church daughter of Benjamin Church in 1812, and his name appears as a signer to the "Articles of Organization" of the Holland Baptist Church, formed in 1817. We find that the home of Benjamin Church came into his hands by deed bearing date 1833, and by a will probated 1834.
He came to Holland from Charlton and was no doubt a capable young man.
"The Weld family dates back to 1352, William Weld, High Sheriff of London. The New England branch came from Suffolk, the home of Governor Winthrop. The Weld Coat of Arms as recorded in 'Guillims Display of Heraldry' is: He beareth azure, a fess nebule between three crescents, ermine, by name of Weld, and is the paternal coat armour of Hum- phrey Weld of Lulworth Castle in Dorsetshire, esquire, gover- nor of his majesty's isle and castles of Portland and sands- foot; lineally descended from Edrick Sylvaticus, alias Wild, a Saxon of great renown in the reigns of King Harold and William the Conqueror, whose father Alfrick was brother to Edrick of Stratton, duke of Mercia."
The first man by the name of Weld to come to America was Capt. Joseph Weld, and his brother Reverend Thomas Weld. They were "Puritans of the Puritans" according to the description. They had means and assured positions at home, coming from England in 1635. As a military man Capt. Joseph Weld was of great assistance to Governor Winthrop and served in several fights with the Indians. He was a donor to Harvard College and his brother Reverand Thomas

THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
Weld was a member of the first Board of Overseers. Capt. Joseph was regarded as the richest man in the colony. He had a large family and died Oet. 7, 1646. To Willard Weld the generations are as follows: Capt. Joseph1 Weld, John2, Joseph3, John4, Joshua5, Caleb", Willard ?.
We find that the first man by name of Weld to come into Holland was Esquire Weld who bought the Simeon Munger homestead and half interest in his mill. The deed is dated in 1805. He sold his interest in the mill to James Fuller. We judge that Esquire Weld was father to Willard Weld. Esquire Weld is described as of Charlton. The property he bought has been known as the Parsons place situated in the west side of Holland and the mill he bought was the first mill, or the first but one, built in Holland. The Joseph Belknap mill built where Alexander's mill dam now is, is the only competitor, and it is difficult to decide which was the earlier of the two. He did not hold the property very long before selling his mill property to James Fuller, father of Elbridge G. Fuller. We think that Willard Weld was son of Esquire Weld, which con- forms with the following Weld genealogy. The deed to James Fuller gives wife as Sarah. She was probably a second wife as the genealogist gives his wife as Phebe Clemmons The genealogy presented here is only such as will be of interest to our readers, they being residents of Holland and known to its people.

His widow died June 27, 1907.
