HISTORY OF INDUSTRY.
owned by John Yeaton .* He was very poor, but honest and industri- ous, and by his diligence made an excellent farm and acquired con- siderable property. His wife, Martha Crowley or Cooley (born June 4, 1767), belonged to a wealthy English family, but as she married contrary to the wishes of her parents she received no dower. She was, however, a lady of culture and refinement and an expert at fine needle-work. It is related of her that in journeying with her husband to their cabin home in the wilds of Maine they passed an ordinary looking log-house. "Whose house is that ?" asked Mrs. Crompton of her husband. "That." he replied, "is the house of 'Squire Gower." "If that is the residence of a 'Squire, what must my own home be !" she exclaimed in astonish- ment .; Both Mr. Crompton and his wife lived to a good old age. Tra- dition says the orchard now standing on the homestead was grown from seed which Mrs. Crompton brought from her native land. She died Aug. 31, 1851, aged 84 years, 2 months and 27 days. Mr. Crompton died probably in the summer of 1830.

CUTLER.
NATHAN CUTLER was born in Milford Mass., Sept. 14, 1779, and claimed to be a descendant of James Cutler, who settled at Watertown, Mass., as early as 1634. When Mr. Cutler was a mere lad his parents moved to Lewiston, Maine, where he grew to manhood and eventually married. The history of his early life is veiled in obscurity. He mar- ried, March 15, 1800, Mary Mooar. After his marriage he made his residence in Lewiston for a brief period and then removed to the adjoin- ing town of Minot. Here he remained for eight years and then came to New Vineyard, and purchased a farm on that part of the Gore set off to Industry in 1815. Here he made his home for the remainder of his life and reared a large family of children. ; His wife Mary died in 1822, and he afterward married (published Jan. 16. 1823) Lydia Baker, of Wilton. In 1833 he made a public profession of religion and united
* The writer is inclined to regard Charles as younger than this position would admit. No mention is made of him in the family births as recorded in Industry, where the name of Nancy is also omitted. The inference would naturally be that both were born after the record was made. Charles is placed as the 7th child on the authority of Mrs. Bartlett H. Oliver's record, which is but fragmentary and in some instances obviously incorrect.
t This date was furnished the author by Mrs. Bartlett II. Oliver, a daughter of James and Nancy. This does not agree with Butler's History of Farmington (p. 501), which has it, " d. March, 1863."
+ Mr. Cutler was fond of relating the following during the last years of his life: After settling in New Vineyard, though he always lived in the same house, he had been a resident of two States, three counties and three towns.

with the East Strong Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he remained an acceptable member to the day of his death. He was generally re- spected for his honorable dealings with his fellowmen as well as for other christian virtnes. He continued to labor on his farm until within two years of his death, when the encroachments of disease made such inroads upon his physical strength as to incapacitate him for further labor. Mr. Cutler at one time owned and operated a saw and grist-mill located on a small stream flowing through his farm ( see p. 171 ). He died Nov. 1, 1859, aged 80 years 1 month and 17 days. His widow is also dead. Children.

CUTTS.
THOMAS Currs, who came to Industry in 1829, was born in Buxton about 1773. He married Sally Colburn (born about 1777), daughter of Oliver Colburn, of Pittston. Mr. Cutts was a blacksmith by trade as was also his son James, who learned the trade of a brother in Pittston before the family came to Industry. Mr. Cutts came from New Port- land and settled at West's Mills where, in company with his son, he plied his trade ( see p. 190). Soon after becoming of age the son, James Cutts, purchased a stand just north of the Union Church, where he lived until his removal to Farmington in 1868. Sally, wife of Thomas Cutts, died May -, 1853, aged 77 years. Thomas Cutts died in 1857, aged about 84 years. James Cutts eventually married, Jan. 28, 1834, Olive Colburn, of Pittston. He succeeded in building up a good business in blacksmithing. Afterward he dealt largely in stock, and for a time was in trade with John C. Manter ( see p. 199) under the firm name of Cutts and Manter. He was major in the State militia and twice a member of the board of selectmen. Of a benevolent disposition he gave liberally for the support of the gospel and other charitable objects, and while he remained in town was one of the leading members of the Methodist Church, frequently filling important positions therein. Popular education ever found in him an earnest advocate and a faithful friend. His wife died in Farmington, May 12, 1887, aged 73 years, 7 months, 28 days. He now resides with his children.

DAGGETT.
EBENEZER DAGGETT, father of Peter, the Industry immigrant, was at the time of his removal to the township of New Vineyard a resident of Tisbury on the Island of Martha's Vineyard. Owing to imperfect records and the frequent occurrence of the same name in different families, gen- ealogists experience much difficulty in tracing out ancestral lines in the Daggett family. One of these enigmatical problems is the parentage and ancestral line of Ebenezer above named. Mrs. Annie C. Pratt, who has given the subject much study, sets up as a hypothetical line the follow- ing : Ebenezer,5 John,+ Joseph,3 Joseph,2 John.1 * Ebenezer Daggett was by occupation a weaver, as was also his son Peter. Ebenezer mar- ried, March 6, 1759, Jedidah Vinson, of Edgartown. Mass., f daughter of Nathaniel and Deborah (Stuart) Vinson. Feb. 25, 1793, in company with his son Peter, he bought lot No. 18, 2d range of lots in New Vine- yard Township. March 11, 1796, he sells his interest to his son Aaron. He died (probably in New Vineyard ) at an advanced age. The mother was cared for by her son Peter in her declining years, and died in In- dustry.

Probably came in fleet with Win- throp, for Oct. 19, he desired admission, and May 18, 1631, was made freeman; removed perhaps with Mayhew to the Vineyard and in 1645 to Rehoboth. Was representative in 1649. He mar- ried at Plymouth, Ang. 29, 1667, probably as second wife, widow Bathsheba Pratt, then called himself of Martha's Vineyard."

GENEALOGICAL NOTES.
I. PETER DAGGETT, son of Ebenezer and Jedidah (Vinson) Dag- gett, married Damaris Luce. He came from New Vineyard to Indus- try about 1798 and settled on the "Lowell Strip."

HISTORY OF INDUSTRY.
4. PLAMENTIN DAGGETT, son of Peter and Damaris (Luce) Dag- gett, married Hannah Snow. In early manhood he served in the War of 1812, and subsequently settled in New Vineyard, clearing a large farm where he made a pleasant home for more than forty years. His wife, a lady of strong mind and sterling qualities, reared a family of five sons and one daughter. He was prominently identified with the growth of his town, and its public interests. He held many public offices in town and was long regarded as one of its most respected and influential citizens. In the early years of the State militia he was commissioned commander of the New Vineyard Light Infantry, and the name of Captain Daggett became familiar in the military circles of Franklin County. Religiously, he was a Methodist ; politically, an early Democrat, but cast one of the first Free Soil ballots of his town and was a member of the convention in Strong which organized the Republican party. After the death of his wife in 1862 he removed to Strong, where he died March 28, 1866.
