ROACH.
WILLIAM ROACH (born Jan. 24, 1771), was an early settler on the south half of lot No. 21, now occupied by Joseph F. Collins. He is supposed to have been a native of the Island of Nantucket, but noth- ing is known of his early life or ancestry. He was a sailor in early life, and tradition says, rose to the command of a whaling vessel. Landing at Edgartown, he became acquainted with his future wife, Mary, daugh- ter of Jabez and Phebe (Luce) Norton, q. 7. He resided in Edgar- town after his marriage until 1804, when he settled in Industry .* He died in Farmington in old age. His wife died in Farmington, April -. 1841.

SHAW.+
Samuel and Elizabeth (Staples) Shaw were early residents of New Hampshire, but whether this was their native State cannot be ascertained from descendants now living. Three sons have resided in Industry for a longer or shorter time, viz. :
1. i. DANIEL, b. in Lee, Strafford Co, N. 11., April 16, 1784; m. Feb. 7, 1811. Mehitable Gilman.
2. ii. SAMUEL, m. Ruth Gilman, dau. of Benjamin and Sally (Clough ) Gilman.
iii. NOAH, b. in 1795: m. Fannie Durgin, of New Hampshire, by whom he had two children, a son, who d. young, and a dau, who m. a Mr. Sharpe, and resides in Montreal, P. Q. His second wife was Eliza Packrell. Mr. Shaw had by his second marriage a son George, who was a telegraph operator; and two daus., all living in Chicago at last accounts He was a carpenter by trade and resided in Montreal for many years, and became quite wealthy. Lost his property through the perfidy of those he regarded as staunch friends. In his old age he came to Industry and made his home with his nephew, Albert Shaw. Died June 10, 1868, aged 73 years.
I. DANIEL SHAW, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Staples) Shaw, married Mehitable Gilman. He came to Industry about the time of his marriage and settled on the farm now owned by Joseph H. Sayer. Mr. Shaw was a man of much business ability and was held in high esteem by his townsmen. He became an extensive drover and dealer in country produce, which he often shipped east to the British Provinces. from Wiscasset, or to such other points as promised the most favorable market. He had thus accumulated some ten thousand dollars in ready money when the great land speculation craze of 1835 occurred. Though naturally very cautious in business transactions, he was at length drawn into the terrible whirlpool of excitement and when he escaped was finan- cially a ruined man. His wife Mehitable (born March 9. 1787), died in Industry, July 29, 1827, and he married (pub. June 10, 1831), for his second wife, widow Alice Fernald ( nee Lewis), relict of Jonathan Fernald, of Cherryfield. Me. He moved to Bangor about 1836 and continued in the stock and produce business in connection with farming.
* Butler says January 12.
t The legend on the coat of arms of the Shaw family in England is said to have been, " Make haste slowly."

GENEALOGICAL NOTES.
2. SAMUEL SHAW, son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Staples) Shaw. married Ruth Gilman. He bought the Moses Tolman store at West's Mills in the fall of 1827, and placed it in charge of Asaph Boyden, then a young man of twenty-five years. Ile immediately returned and brought his family to Industry. They spent the winter in the Richard Fassett house, now (1892) owned by Thomas M. Oliver. The next spring he moved into a shed-roofed house on the Isaac Norton lot, west of the village. It was while living here that he made the following unique return of his property to the Assessors :
THE INVENTORY OF SAMUEL SHAW.
On May the first I had in trust Three cows, with bones most bare : For want of feed for present need, For milk I scantly fare.
I've one old mare, with bones as bare, And sixteen winters old; She might, if need required the deed, For twenty crowns be sold.
AA colt I've got, a little knot, Its color, grizzle-gray ; 'T will reach the goal of two years old The very last of May.
I have a camp, one roof aslant, With lobby on its stern; Wherein we keep a broom, to sweep, And fire-wood to burn.
I have no hog, no goose, no dog; But children I have many; Of these, beware, the law is clear, You can't lax me with any .*
I have one store upon the shore Of Mill-brook's babbling stream : Where bibbling, babbling, gibbling, gabbling Is made the favorite theme.
I have one head, though badly made, Which, according to the law, Must pay a rate, or you will hate Your servant, Samuel Shaw.
He was a justice of the peace and selectman in Industry. He sold out in the fall of 1835, or early in the winter of 1836, and moved to Her-

Yet her sister Frances positively declares that she has always understood the date of her own birth to be Dec. 23, 182S. As there is no record extant, the writer is inclined to favor the record on the headstone, and to place 1829 as the year of Mrs. Houghton's birth.

erected a mill and engaged in lumbering. He continued in business with marked success, enlarging from time to time, until at length the firm of Daniel Shaw & Co. had gained a wide reputation for the mag- nitude of its operations. In 1875 the Daniel Shaw Lumber Co. was organized, and Mr. Shaw elected president and held that office up to the time of his death. Mr. Shaw was a man of rare business qualifica- tions and executive ability, as the large business which his genius had built up bears abundant testimony.

5. MILTON GILMAN SHAW, son of Daniel and Mehitable (Gilman) Shaw, married Eunice S. Hinkley. When a young man just setting out in life, Mr. Shaw went to Chicago, performing a larger part of the jour- ney on foot. At that time the great metropolis of the West consisted of a few straggling log-cabins. Not finding the outlook as promising as he anticipated he returned to Maine in October, 1845, settled in Green- ville at the outlet of Moosehead Lake. His subsequent life has been one of great activity in connection with extensive business operations in various directions. His principal business has been lumbering, how- ever. In company with his three sons. Mr. Shaw cuts large quantities of lumber from their own land during the winter, giving employment to from 250 to 500 men during the winter season at their various lumber- ing camps. In 1883, the firm erected a large steam saw-mill at Bath, which gives constant employment to eighty men and annually manu- factures several million feet of logs into long and short lumber, such as boards, clapboards, shingles, laths, etc. The firm also own and conduct several large farms in the vicinity of their lumbering operations. They are also largely interested in hotel property and wholesale dealers in farm produce and lumbermen's supplies. Though seventy-two years of age. Mr. Shaw is still actively engaged in business and constantly planning and directing the various enterprises of the firm. He is a fine type of the self-made man and one of whom any town might well be proud. Resides 638 High St., Bath, Maine.

SHOREY.
PELATIAH SHOREY removed from Berwick to Industry in the month of February, 1824. The earliest record of the name in America is that of Samuel Shorey, who came from England and settled in the town of Kittery in the latter part of the seventeenth century. Pelatiah, son of Miles and Betsey (Mc-) Shorey, born in Berwick, Me., Nov. 10, 1785, is believed to have been a descendant of the above named Samuel. Both the father and grandfather of Pelatiah Shorey were deacons in the Baptist Church, and his mother was an eminently pious woman and an earnest student of the Bible. Like many others residing on the sea- board he followed the life of a sailor for many years, and during his voyages he visited many foreign ports. In those days the discipline on shipboard was very severe and the food and water often unfit for use. He married, Feb. 23, 1818, Sarah. daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Hayes) Fogg, of Berwick. She was an excellent woman and belonged to a family which developed much business talent and mercantile ability. She has long since gone to her reward, dying Dec. 21, 1838. Mr. Shorey, after coming to Industry, engaged in farming and in this voca- tion was fairly prosperous. He was a man of strong convictions, inter- ested in the highest welfare of the town, loyal to the church and taking an active interest in educational matters. His delight was the Sabbath and the sanctuary, where he led the singing for many years. He was an earnest worker in prayer and social meetings, and his influence was always on the side of right. He married (pub. July 21, 1840), Eliza- beth Waldbridge Lowe, of North Yarmouth. She died May 14. 1869. Being thus left alone, in the month of September following he decided

to go to Wayland, Mass., and live with his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Price. Here he lived for eleven years and saw his children and chil- dren's children gather about him. Calmly and peacefully, on the morn- ing of March 18, 1880, he fell asleep to awaken on the Resurrection Morn. He left his children no earthly inheritance but a rich legacy of pious example.
