KYES.
HORATIO A. B. KYES, who came to Industry from Jay, traces his ancestry back to Robert Keyes, who settled in Watertown, Mass., prior to or in 1633. Robert Keyes was undoubtedly of English parentage, although information on that point is very meagre. He was the father of eight children, the seventh of whom was Elias,2 born in Watertown, May 20, 1643 ; he married, Sept. 11, 1665, Sarah, daughter of John Blanford or Blanchard. The fifth child of Elias and Sarah Keyes 2 was Thomas,3 born in Sudbury, Mass., Feb. 8, 1674; he married in 1698 Elizabeth, daughter of John Howe. This Thomas, who became a dea- con of the church in the town where he lived, was the father of five chil- dren, the second of whom was Jonathan,+ born Nov. 19, 1702. The wife of Jonathan Keyes was Patience Morse, of Marlboro, Mass. He settled in Shrewsbury and was a deacon in the North Parish. The eld- est of his eleven children was Jonathan,5 born Jan. 21, 1728. He mar- ried Sarah Taylor and lived in the North Parish of Shrewsbury, where his seven children were born. He subsequently settled in the town of Rumford, Me., as one of its earliest pioneers. The fifth child of Jona- than and Sarah Keyes was Ebenezer, born Oct. 24, 1765. He married, June 12, 1787, Jemima Jackson, and June 7, 1805, bought lot No. 14, seventh range, in the town of Jay. He removed with his family to that town in January, 1806, where he spent the remainder of his life and died May 31, 1838. His name was spelled Keyes, but because people persisted in calling him Keys he dropped the first e in his name when he moved to Jay and ever afterward spelled it K'yes, as do also his de- scendants. To Ebenezer and Jemima Kyes were born ten children, the sixth of whom was Solomon,7 the father of Horatio A. B.,S born June 2. 1798. Solomon Kyes married, June 17, 1821, Rhoda N. Eldridge, of Readfield, Me. He died in Wilton, Jan. 27, 1871. Horatio A. B. Kyess was born in Jay, Jan. 19, 1837. He was brought up as a farm-

LOOK.
Those of the name who settled in Industry and vicinity trace their ancestral line no further than Robert Look, of Martha's Vineyard, among whose children was a son Samuel, born in 1735, and married in 1769, Margaret C'hase (born 1750), daughter of Abraham and Mercy ( Nickerson) Chase.

2. VALENTINE LOOK, son of Samuel and Margaret (Chase) Look, came to Industry about 1812 and took up lot No. 9 ( ?) on the Lowell Strip, on which Robert Luce had cleared some land and built a log- house. Mr. Look built a frame-house soon after he came in possession of his lot, which he subsequently moved to a more favorable location. This was the first building of any considerable size ever moved in that part of the town and a great deal of labor was required in cutting stumps and preparing a road for its removal. On his marriage he brought his wife to Industry with his own team, the journey occupying nearly a week. Soon after his marriage he was elected captain of the Industry militia, and was ever after as long as he lived known as "Captain Look." He made a good farm and raised a large family. In 1839 he removed to Phippsburg. at the mouth of the Kennebec River, and was drowned Sept. 21, 1841. She died in Industry, Dec. 31. 1889.

and Remember (-) Luce, the common ancestors of this numer- ous race in New England .* His father, Stephen Luce,+ was born Sept. 25, 1714, and died March 13, 1801, aged 86 years, 5 months, 18 days, "a deacon." He married, Dec. 5, 1735, Content Presbury, by whom he had a family of nine children, Zephaniah 5 being the eighth. The father of Stephen+ also bore the name of Zephaniah,3 who was born Feb. 19, 1695, and married, April 29, 1714, Hope Norton. He was a son of Experience Luce,2 who was born Feb. 7, 1673, and died Jan. 9. 1747. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of John Manter. Experience 2 was the son of Henry and Remember Luce.' But little is known of Henry Luce, the maiden name of whose wife has not been learned. Documentary evidence shows, however, that he died prior to the month of March, 1689. Zephaniah Luce, the Industry immigrant, was born April 2, 1752, and married, April 6, 1775, Prudence Manter. She died leaving three daughters, and he married for his second wife, Jan. 2, 1794, Thankful Crowell (born April 2, 1758), daughter of Samuel Crowell. He came from Tisbury, with other Vineyard families, to Industry in 1801 and settled on lot No. 31, adjoining Benjamin Burgess's on the north. The commissioners appointed in 1802 to appraise the settlers' lots, set the price of Mr. Luce's hundred-acre lot at one hundred and fifty-five dollars, or at an average value of one dollar and fifty cents per acre. It is supposed that, being unable to raise a sufficient sum to pay for his land, he left town soon after this appraisal. We next find him a resi- cent of Farmington near Industry line, at the head of Clear Water Pond. How long he lived in that town cannot be determined, but it is evident that he was well advanced in life when he returned to Industry. He spent the last of his life in a small log-house near the Deacon Cot- tle burying-ground. His wife Thankful died Jan. - , 1825. He sur- vived her some years and died about 1830.

* Hon. Richard L. Pease, of Edgartown, Dukes County, Mass., during his lifetime authority on all matters of genealogy pertaining to Martha's Vineyard families, replying to a query respecting a member of this family says : " Doubtless he was from Martha's Vineyard, as all bearing that family name can trace their descent from the first Luce who came to the Vine- yard, viz. : llenry Luce."
t This inference is based on the fact that his name does not appear on the petition for in- corporation, dated January, 1803, nor on the list of voters for that year, all of which seems to indicate that he had moved away prior to 1803. On the other hand, among the original entries of births made soon after the incorporation of the town is a record of births in Zephaniah Luce's family. His eldest daughter died Oct. 15, 1804, and her death is also entered on the Industry Town Records. The writer is unable to harmonize this seemingly conflicting testimony.

I. SANDERS LUCE," son of Zephaniah and Thankful (Crowell) Luce, married Mahala Collins. When a young man and prior to his marriage he learned the trade of carpenter and builder, serving his apprenticeship with Uriel Hillman, of Farmington, a skillful and thorough workman. Soon after his marriage Mr. Luce settled on a lot of land lying north of and adjoining Clear Water Pond, where all his children, three in number, were born .* About 1831, while a resident of Industry, he was elected and commissioned captain of the militia and held that office for several years. He moved to Phillips in 1834 and remained there seven years, much of the time engaged in working at his trade. After this he had charge of the wood-working repair shop of a woolen mill in the town of Readfield. After a year in this position he went to Wilton, and from there in 1850 to Auburn, Me. He was a superior workman, and his services as master-builder were in good demand as long as he fol- lowed his trade. He died in Auburn, June 25, 1863, aged 64 years and two months. His widow survived him some years and died in Auburn, Nov. 6, 1874.
