" Possessing these qualities, they did not attain to high political distinction. Their tastes and characteristics did not incline them to tread the sinuous avenues which too often

lead to political preferment. They deemed themselves of the people, and preferred to remain with the people, and to discharge their duties to society with fidelity as private citi- zens, rather than assume the responsibilities of official life. Thus they were enabled to wield a greater influence for good ; for official position often neutralizes the influence of strong men. Great and true men, under any form of gov- ernment, are not always found in official station, while many are found outside of it.
"Thus, in early times, did the fathers and mothers live ; and though we knew them not, let us sacredly cherish their memories for the noble achivements which they wrought for their country and their race. By the assistance they ren- dered in making justice, equality and freedom-the great fundamental principles of human society -practical realities, they gave a richer legacy than was ever bequeathed to pos- terity ; and their posterity can secure no greater benefit to themselves, perform no greater service to their country, nor bestow a more enduring blessing upon humanity, than to live their virtues and transmit the principles they honored, in all their strength and purity, to those who shall come after them." *
ADAMS.
Samuel Adams of Ipswich, according to J. Quincy Adams, was a descendant of William of Cambridge. Deacon Leland says : "This William was probably one of the eight sons of Henry. Samuel was probably either of the third or fourth generation from William of Cambridge, who is supposed to have removed to Ipswich." Deacon Leland also says that Samuel, senior, had seven sons. He gives the names, however, of but six, viz. :
Samuel, b. and d. at Ipswich; Nathaniel removed to Worcester and d. there; James d. in Sutton Aug. 4, 1804; Andrew settled in Grafton; Jona- than settled in Shrewsbury; John settled in Sutton.

Isaac studied medicine under Dr. James Freeland, and established himself in practice in Thomaston, Me. He was sent from that place a representative to the legislature at Boston several times, before the erection of the district of Maine into a State.
Jonathan lived on the estate which had been owned and occupied by his father. According to Dea. Leland his house was occupied in 1780 as a small-pox hospital, who says, "Hon. Jonas Sibley informs me that he was there innocu- lated, and remained about four weeks. There were nearly sixty at the same time in the hospital. Only two of all who were innoculated died. Dr. James Freeland was the attend- ing physician. Mr. Barnard left Sutton between 1780 and 1786 and settled in Petersham. From there he removed to Vermont and settled in Springfield, where he died."

BARTLETT.
The ancestry of Richard Bartlett can be traced back to the time of William the Conqueror. A record is found in a church which stands upon the old family estate, commencing in the year 1300, and continuing to the time of Richard's settling in Sutton. John, Richard and Thomas came to America, Richard and John landing in Newbury, John in 1634 in the ship " Mary and John," and Richard in 1635. Thomas, probably a brother of John and Richard (accord- ing to Bond's History of Watertown), became a freeman in

BATCHELLER.
The first of the name, Batcheller, in this country, seems to have been Rev. Stephen Batcheller, who sailed from Lon- don, March 9, 1632, and arrived at Boston, June 5th. He is referred to as " having in his company six persons, his rela- tives and friends." He settled in Lynn. The next of the name of whom there is any record, was Joseph of Canter- bury, England, who embarked for New England in 1636, "with his wife, Elizabeth, one child and three servants." He settled first in Salem-that part afterwards Wenham ; was made freeman in 1637 ; was deputy in the General Court at Boston in 1644, and the first representative from Wen- ham. Whether he was related to Rev. Stephen cannot be ascertained. Mr. John A. Boutell, the antiquarian and stu- dent of family histories, says, " the Batchellers in this coun- try are not connected with each other."
Joseph Batcheller is the ancestor of the Sutton families bearing the name. His children were Mark, John, Elizabeth and Hannah. His descendants have remained in Wenham until the present time.

Mark, probably his son, was killed in the assault made upon the stronghold of the Narragansetts, Dec. - , 1675.
The church in Wenham was organized October 8, 1644, and Joseph Batcheller was one of the members. His wife, Elizabeth, was admitted to membership on the seventeenth of November of the same year. He died about 1699.
