HISTORY OF INDUSTRY.
prior to his removal to the District of Maine resided in Edgartown. His ancestry has not been traced, but like others bearing the name, is sup- posed to have descended from John Daggett, the immigrant ancestor to this country. He was a miller, and tradition says he operated a wind mill on the Island. He was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Daggett married Rachel Coffin, who soon died. He married for second wife in 1761,* Thankful Vinson, daughter of Nathaniel and Deb- orah (Stuart) Vinson. She was a sister to the wives of Ansel Norton and Ebenezer Daggett, q. v. He bought, Feb. 11, 1793, lot No. 2 in the second range of lots in New Vineyard township, and probably began a clearing the same year. He received injuries while piling his chop- ping, from which he never recovered and died soon after his removal from the Vineyard .; His wife died at an advanced age.

CAPT. SAMUEL DAGGETT6 and his brothers Silas and Nathan, pioneer settlers of the present town of Industry, trace their ancestry back five generations, to John Doggett or Dogget,t who was born in England and came to America with Winthrop in 1630. Removed to Martha's Vine- yard, Savage says, " perhaps with Mayhew." Died in Plymouth, Mass., 1673. The name of his first wife, the mother of his son Thomas,2 has not been found, neither place or date of marriage. Thomas Doggett,2 afterward, on the Vineyard, called Daggett, died 1691. He married about 1655 Hannah, daughter of Gov. Thomas Mayhew. She was born in Watertown, 1635, and died in Edgartown, 1722. Their son Thomas,3 born about 1658, probably at Edgartown where he returned after a short residence in Bristol, R. I. (formerly Mass.), and then at Edgartown recorded as Daggett. Died in Edgartown in 1726. Married about 1685, Elizabeth Hawes. Their son Samuel Doggett+ was baptized at Bristol, R. I. (formerly Mass.), by Rev. Samuel Lee, July 22, 1688 .;
* Formerly spelled Jeffers.
t Toward the last of his life called on the Vineyard Daggett but in the earlier records and elsewhere always as above- baggett or Dogget. There are persons now living who recollect of hearing Tristram Daggett and wife addressed as Mr. and Mrs. Dogit. The name is so spelled on petition for incorporation of the town (see p. 62). On the Industry Town Records. "Births, Marriages, Deaths, " (T'ol. I. p. 13). The name is plainly Tristram Daggett.

Afterward called on Martha's Vineyard, Samuel Daggett. He married at Edgartown, July 11, 1705, Mary, daughter of Thomas Pease. She was born in Edgartown, Feb. 17, 1685. Their son Seth Daggett,5 born Feb. 5, 1613, and died at Tisbury, Mass., April 14, 1779. Married in Tisbury, Dec. 23, 1734, Elizabeth, daughter of Abner West.

Like many residents of Martha's Vineyard, he engaged in nautical pursuits and had therein gained the title of captain before coming to the District of Maine. He settled on lot No. 3 in the 3d range, where he cleared the farm recently occupied by John Tobey Daggett. He was a man of some property, careful and methodical in business transactions, precise in his use of language (a characteristic of the West family), and though not a pro- fessed christian, he was a moral, upright man. He died in New Vine- yard, May 30, 1835, aged 89 years, 10 days. His wife Abigail died s. p. in Farmington, Me., Sept. 30, 1846, aged 80 years.

* lleadstone. Mrs. Annie C. Pratt, of Chelsea, Mass., has furnished the author a record of this family which says born May 9, 1745.
t The mother of Abigail Daggett married for her second husband a Kimblen and spent the last of her days with her son-in-law, Capt. Samuel Daggett. From this circumstance some have gained the impression that the Captain's second wife was a Kimball or Kimblen.

3. SILAS DAGGETT,6 son of Seth and Elizabeth (West) Daggett, married Deborah Butler. The exact date of Capt. Daggett's settlement in Industry is not known, but there is conclusive evidence that it was as early as 1806, and he may have come a year earlier. Like his brother Samuel. he was a sailor and also a commander of vessels. He was a man of honor and integrity, and while a resident of Industry was much respected by his townsmen. He settled on lot No. 16, at Thompson's Corner, on the east side of the road leading from Joseph H. Sayer's to George W. Johnson's. The land now comprises a part of the Albert George farm owned by Mr. Johnson. In 1809 he was elected town clerk and also town treasurer. Concerning the last named office Esq. William Allen relates the following somewhat amusing anecdote : "Captain Thompson having served three years as town treasurer as a successor to Captain West, declined re-election the fourth year, and as a reason said . He could not afford it, the office run him in debt every year,-he paid out more than he received.' He was requested to present his bill and. it should be allowed. He replied that . he had kept no account of debt or credit during the three years.' Being regarded as an honest, patri- otic man, the town heard his verbal statement and allowed him a small sum, with which he was satisfied, and chose a man who had been a sea captain in his stead and directed him to keep an account of his doings. The next year the Captain [Dage."] brought in his account entered in a treasury book and declined a re-election because his book would not tell the truth. He stated that he had charged all the bills paid, and entered all the orders he had drawn on collectors to pay bills with-that he had done all the business by orders and bills, had not received or paid out a dollar in money on the town's account ; but his book showed a considerable balance due to him which he knew was not the case."

Finding himself unable to gain a comfortable support by farming, he re- turned to the Vineyard soon after the events just narrated and resumed the occupation of a sailor. His wife died in Farmington, Sept. 12, 1847. aged 87 years,* and lies buried in the old burying-ground in the rear of the new county building.

He served as chairman of the board of selectmen in New Vineyard in 1803. He returned to the Vine- yard after a time leaving two of his sons, Isaacs and Samuel,8 with their grandfather, Samuel Daggett, with whom they remained until they attained their majority.

* Though the headstone gives her age as above, the Records of Industry show that she had nearly completed her SSth year and was Sy years, 9 months and 29 days old at the time of her death.
{ This date was copied from a record made by the father in ISog, see Industry Records of births, Vol. I, p. 14. Mr. Butler, Hist. Farmington ( p. 512), gives the date 1788.
# The Town Records of Industry, Vol. I., p. 118, show that Bartlett Luce, of Farmington, and Betsey W'est Daggett, of Industry, were married as above. Though there is some degree of doubt in the author's mind as to the identity of Betsey with the above Elizabeth, yet circum- stances indicate that they are one and the same.
§ There is some doubt as to the maiden name of Samuel Daggett's wife. Mrs. Deborah Gray, who possesses a wonderful knowledge of Vineyard family histories says : "Esq. Dag. gett's wife was either a Butler or a relative of the Butlers." After much painstaking investi- gation the author is inclined to accept the latter statement as the correct one.
