toes, etc. They took a batteau and repeatedly crossed the river and went to the Great House, owned by Dr. Gardiner, where they obtained dressing which they applied to their land, and in the fall, as a part of their crop, harvested forty bushels of corn. Mrs. Winslow, or " Granny Winslow," was the only physician in whom the settlers believed, and she frequently went long distances to visit the sick. When a young man, James Winslow was a drummer in a fort at Portland, but he became converted to the principles of the Friends. He carried out his Quaker principles, and refused to serve in the Revolutionary War. When his son Jonathan was drafted his father did not object, but the distress of his mother caused the lad to escape by pleading Quaker education. His son James, Jr., an early settler in Industry, was born in Pittston, April 28, 1774. In 1787 the family moved to Farmington Falls, and were among the early settlers in that town. When he became of age he married Betsey Willard, who was born in Lancaster, Mass., April 19, 1772. He moved to Industry in 1800, and settled on lot No. 45, which he bought of the Plymouth Company. At that time he was reputed to be worth $600. Here he built a very comfortable log-house by hewing off a portion of the inside of the logs and then fitting in splits. After James. Jr., had completed his house he worked in a shipyard to earn money to finish paying for his farm. While he was away, Mrs. Winslow and a boy. Timothy Cooper, who lived in the family, carried on the farm. with an occasional day's work of a man. Mr. Winslow eventually became an extensive farmer and very wealthy. He was universally respected for his honor and integrity. When people were obliged to go to Hallowell to trade. Mr. Winslow's house was a famous stopping place on the road. He died July 22. 1844. His wife died May 4, 1849.

Zachariah, Samuel, Susanna, Luke, Zoe, and Uriel.
