Alanson Googins attended the district schools until old enough to go to sea. Then he began coasting between this port and New York. On coming of age he left the home- stead and went to Ellsworth, where he worked at the ship-carpenter's trade, assisting in building many vessels, and being for a long time an employee of the father of Judge Peters. He was also engaged in farming there on a limited scale. Since returning to Lamoine he has been active in local affairs, and he served for a number of terms as Selectman. His first Presidential vote was cast in 1836 for Martin Van Buren, since which time he has affiliated with the Democratic party, al- though previously a Whig.
Mr. Googins married Huldah Haines, daughter of Captain Haines, of Trenton, who served in the American army throughout the entire period of the Revolution, and who at his death at the remarkable age of one hun- dred and four years was drawing a pension for his services in that war.

and Marguerite (Chabot) Nolin. His great- grandfather, François Nolin, first, was a native of the Island of Orleans. He learned the gunsmith's trade, and was engaged in that calling during the entire active period of his life. François Nolin, second, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, followed his father's trade in Canada, and made guns by hand. He lived to be seventy-five years old. He mar- ried Marie Cougtre, a native of St. Charles, Bellechasse County, P. Q., and had a family of four sons and five daughters. The sons were : François, Gervais (who died in Santa Fé, Mexico), Petre, and Benoit (who died in 1812).

ufacture of scythes, hay knives, and grass hooks in Skowhegan. The concern continued in business until 1895, when Mitchell Nolin withdrew, and Frank A. Nolin, son of Ger- vais, with others, was admitted to partnership, the business being continued up to the present time under the style of The Nolin Manufact- uring Company. Mr. Nolin is not only a skilled mechanic, but an excellent business man. He is a member of Lafayette Lodge, No. 48, F. & A. M., of Readfield, and of the chapter R. A. M. in Hallowell, Me.

years old. His wife, Betsey Brawn, lived to an advanced age.
Arthur Brawn, who was a native of Madi- son, spent his early years in Foxcroft. In 1842 he settled upon a tract of wild land in the north-eastern part of Guilford before the construction of county roads. Possessing much physical strength, he continued robust until far advanced in years. Of good moral principles, he held liberal opinions in relig- ion, and in politics was a Democrat. He was active up to the time of his death, which oc- curred when he was eighty-seven years old. His wife, Hannah, was a daughter of Shepard Packard, a Revolutionary soldier. Mr. Pack- ard, who was among the early settlers of Foxcroft, subsequently moved to Aroostook County, where he resided for forty years, and died at the age of ninety. Of the six chil- dren born to Arthur and Hannah Brawn, three are living, namely : James M., the subject of this sketch; Vesta, who is the widow of An- drew Witham, and resides in Guilford; and Thomas J. Brawn, of this town. The others were: Jefferson, Lucy, and Cordelia. The mother died at the age of sixty years.
James M. Brawn acquired his education in an old log school-house, which was provided with benches made of hemlock plank and heated by means of a stone fireplace. He re- sided at home until after his marriage, when he settled upon land in the vicinity of his present residence. He has occupied the lat- ter since 1868. His estate contains one hun- dred and fifty acres of fertile land, well adapted for general farming. In 1860 he was joined
in marriage with Rosette M. Witham. Born in Somerset County, February 22, 1842, she is a daughter of Samuel and Eunice (Merrill) Witham.

TEPHEN SEDGLEY PINEO, a prominent wholesale and retail merchant of Milltown, Me., his native place, was born February 10, 1850, son of David and Amelia (Hall Sedgley) Pineo. On the paternal side he traces his lineage back to Jacques Pineo, a young Waldensian or Huguenot, who in 1688 on account of relig- ious persecution fled from France to Eng-

land, and with a companion named Goulard took the oath of allegiance to the English government in London.
This Jacques Pineo seems to have returned to France, as a short time later, 1690, he es- caped from Lyons, where the king's troops were executing Protestants, and, seeking refuge in America, landed at Plymouth. He settled in Lebanon, Conn., and in 1706 mar- ried Dorothy Babcock.
His son, Peter Pineo, married Elizabeth Sampson, daughter of David and Mary (Chaffin) Sampson, of Duxbury, Mass. Vin- ton, the genealogist, considers it beyond a reasonable doubt that David Sampson here named was the son of Caleb and Mercy (Standish) Sampson. Caleb was the young- est son of Henry Sampson, one of the " May- flower " Pilgrims; and Caleb's wife, Mercy, was a daughter of Alexander and Sarah (Alden) Standish and grand-daughter of Cap- tain Myles Standish and of John and Priscilla Alden. In 1763 Peter and Elizabeth (Samp- son) Pineo removed to Cornwallis, N.S., drawn thither by the large land grants offered by the British government to those who would settle in the country which the unfortunate Acadians had been forced to vacate. . They were the parents of seven children; and their son Jonathan, the next in this line, settled in Machias in 1770.
Jonathan Pineo was a prominent resident of Machias, serving as a member of the Board of Assessors. He was an active member of the First church, and assisted financially in erect- ing the first meeting-house. He died in
April, 1796, aged forty-nine years. His first wife was Esther Libby, born in Machias in May, 1750, daughter of Timothy and Sarah (Stone) Libby. She bore him eight sons and three daughters, of whom David was the third- born. Jonathan Pineo married for his second wife Mrs. Bridget Doty, born Byron, daugh- - ter of an Admiral in the British navy.
David Pineo, Sr., son of Jonathan and Esther (Libby) Pineo and grandfather of Stephen S. Pineo, was born in Machias, Feb- ruary 17, 1774, and acquired prominence among the business men of that town in his day. He eventually removed to St. Stephen, N. B., where he died some years later, on Jan- uary 24, 1863. On December 13, 1796, he married Priscilla Hill, who was born in Ma- chias, July 28, 1780, and who died in St. Stephen, September 30, 1850. She was the mother of eight children.
David Pineo, Jr., son of David, Sr., and his wife, Priscilla, was born in Machias, Sep- tember 25, 1803. When a young man he came to Calais, making his way through the woods by the aid of spotted trees; and in 1836 he engaged in the manufacture of lumber, which he followed successfully for ten years. About the year 1846 he embarked in mercan- . tile business. This he carried on a number of years, his last days being passed in retire- ment. He died October 5, 1862. Previous to the Rebellion he voted with the Demo- cratic party, but in 1861 he became a Repub- lican. In his younger days he was actively interested in military affairs. In his relig- ious belief he was a Methodist, and for many

years was identified with that church as an official and a class leader. On February 6, 1832, David Pineo married Mrs. Amelia Hall Sedgley, born in St. Stephen, March 9, 1807, daughter of John Hall. Of the eight children born of this union, five lived to ma- turity, namely: Josiah; George W .; Minerva; David; and Stephen S., the subject of this sketch. Josiah Hill was employed in the cus- tom-house at Milltown. George W. is a me- chanic. Minerva married James A. Roberts, of Waterboro, Me. Mr. Roberts at the time of his marriage was teaching school in Calais. Afterward he removed to Buffalo, N. Y., and established a large law business in that city. At the present time he is serving his second term as Comptroller of the State. Mr.
Roberts is the father of two children: Joseph Banks, a graduate of Bowdoin College and Buffalo Law School; and Amelia Pineau. David Pineo is a successful railroad engineer residing at Moncton, N.B.
Stephen Sedgley Pineo was educated in the schools of Milltown, and at the age of fifteen he began work upon the boom. When eigh- teen years old he was placed in charge of the boom, a position he occupied until 1872. In the spring of 1873 he became a clerk in the store of James G. Smith, remaining until the failure of his employer, when he was stricken with a severe illness, which continued for two years. On October 23, 1877, a short time after his recovery, he established himself in business, having borrowed sufficient capital to make the start. After struggling for a while to keep his little business from being a
failure, his zeal and integrity won for him many friends. At the present time he is carrying on one of the largest general stores in Washington County, besides a flourishing meat market. He has five storehouses, and is a member of the firm of Pineo & Brown, dealers in boots and shoes. He is a large stockholder in and a director of the Milltown Grist Mill Company and a director of the Dr. Thompson Medical Company.
On June 30, 1876, Mr. Pineo married Annie T. Brown, daughter of Alexander and Sarah Brown, of Milltown. Mrs. Pineo died June 16, 1896, leaving two children: Louise A., who is a student of Wellesley College; and Stephen.
Politically, Mr. Pineo supports the Repub- lican party. He has been frequently solic- ited to accept nominations to public offices, but he has invariably declined, as his business interests demand his undivided attention. He is connected with the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Pineo resides at the old homestead on Main Street, which the family have occupied since 1832.
EORGE W. HARVEY, a well-known business man of Atkinson, Piscata- quis County, son of Sargent and Maria (Bart- lett) Harvey, was born in this town, Novem- ber 8, 1850. His grandfather, Jonathan Harvey, was a pioneer of Atkinson. His father was the second white child born in this town. The mother was a daughter of Josiah Bartlett, of Garland, Me. A more extended account of his parents will be found in the

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
biography of Addison Harvey, which appears elsewhere in the REVIEW
Young Harvey attended the public schools, and assisted his father on the home farm until he was twenty-two years old. He then went to California, where he spent a year in lum- bering. Upon his return he became asso- ciated with his brother, Addison Harvey, in conducting a saw and grist mill and manufact- uring shingles. The firm of Harvey Brothers was unusually prosperous. Besides a large farm, owned by each individually, they are joint proprietors of the mill property and about seven hundred acres of land. Some time since George W. Harvey withdrew from the mill business, and bought an interest in what is known as the Washburn Combination Ironing Board, Wash Bench, and Step-ladder. In company with Mr. Washburn, the inventor and patentee, he is now manufacturing the novelty, which is selling well throughout the country. In politics he is a Republican, and he has been the chairman of the Republican Town Committee for many years. He has served with ability as first Selectman for three years, and for fifteen years he held the office of Town Clerk. As Justice of the Peace he transacts a great deal of legal business, in- cluding that of a conveyancer. He is con- nected with Kineo Lodge, No. 64, I. O. O. F., and with the encampment. A Free Will Bap- tist in religious belief, he serves the church in the capacity of Deacon.
Mr. Harvey married Isabel Tewksbury, a daughter of Daniel Tewksbury, of Atkinson. Her maternal grandfather, Captain Turner,
an Englishman and a sailor, while serving as mate of a British vessel during the Revolu- tionary War, with others of the crew who sympathized with the American cause, over- powered the captain, brought the vessel into Castine, Me., and sold her. With his share of the prize money he bought a large tract of land in Atkinson, where he cleared a farm, and resided here for the rest of his life. After his return from California, Mr. Harvey purchased the Turner farm, and has since oc- cupied it as a homestead. His business abil- ity and political services are highly appre- ciated by his fellow-townsmen, with whom he is very popular. His only son died young.
ILLIAM J. TREFETHEN, M.D., a rising young physician of New Portland, was born in Wilton, Me., Octo- ber 20, 1866, son of Joseph and Susan B. (Webster) Trefethen. The father, a native of Monhegan Island, Me., has spent the greater part of his life in Wilton, of which town he is a prosperous farmer. Susan B. Trefethen, his wife, who was born in Wilton, has had seven children; namely, Henry E., Fred E., Ella S., Annie M., William Walter, William J., and Mellie.

381
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
in 1836, by act of the legislature, the name of Milburn was changed to Skowhegan. Thus, without changing his place of abode, Samuel Philbrick resided in two different States, two counties, and three towns. In 1810 he mar- ried Betsey White, daughter of John White, of Skowhegan, she being of the sixth genera- tion from her immigrant ancestor, John White, who came from England in 1638, and settled in Massachusetts. Samuel Philbrick had considerable legal ability, and was a good accountant. For several years he was one of the Selectmen of Norridgewock and for many years first Selectman and Town Clerk of the towns of Milburn and Skowhegan. . In 1833, when the State Bank in Skowhegan was organized, he was made cashier; and he held . that position until 1849, when he was suc- ceeded by his son William. Samuel Phil- brick was a member of the Universalist church. He died in 1868, aged eighty-three.
William Philbrick was educated in the com- mon schools of Skowhegan and at Bloomfield Academy. After leaving school he spent some time in the South and West. In De- cember, 1845, he entered the store of A. & P. Coburn as clerk and book-keeper, they being the largest owners and operators in timber lands in the State. He was in their employ some four years. In October, 1849, he was chosen cashier of the Skowhegan State Bank, which in May, 1863, was changed to a na- tional bank. He filled the position of cashier seventeen years, retiring in 1866. For sev- eral years after he was one of the directors of the bank. In the spring of 1865 he was
chosen treasurer of the Kennebec Log Driving Company, with which he was connected twenty-three years, resigning in 1888, in favor of his son, Samuel W.
Mr. Philbrick is one of the trustees of Bloomfield Academy and of the public li- brary, and he has filled various political offices of trust. Originally a Whig, he cast his first Presidential vote for Henry Clay in 1844. He has since been connected with the Republican and the Greenback parties, and is now independent in his political views. In 1849 he was elected to the Skowhegan Board of Selectmen, and with two or three years' ex- ception he was in office until 1862. During that time he was first Selectman and Town Clerk. In 1867 he was in the House of Rep- resentatives, and in 1868 was in the Gov- ernor's Council. In 1870, 1871, and 1872 he was State Bank Examiner; and during the last year as Bank Examiner he was elected to the State Senate.
