RANK T. NUTTING, a prominent farmer of Parkman, was born here on the old Nutting farm at Nutting Corners, October 23, 1846, son of Jesse and Betsey E. (Thurston) Nutting.
His paternal grandfather, Abel Nutting, was a farmer of Madison, Me., where he spent his life. He lived to be over eighty years old. Jesse Nutting was born and educated in Madi- son At the age of twenty-three he came to Parkman and purchased the farm at Nutting Corners, on which he lived for twenty-six years, and which had not been clcared when he settled upon it. In 1864 he sold that place and bought the farm on which his son now re- sides. He was a blacksmith and stone-cutter by trade, and followed both these occupations as opportunity offered, doing considerable pub- lic work and erecting many buildings that are still standing in this vicinity. He put up the first derrick erected in the town of Monson. As an illustration of his ability to perform hazardous feats, it is said that at one time, when putting up a derrick, after the forty-foot pole was set up, he stood on his head on top of it. He was Captain of a company of State militia in Parkman. In political views he was a Democrat, in religion a Universalist. He held the office of Selectman sixteen years, fifteen years in succession, and was chairman
of the board a portion of the time. He was a member of Kineo Lodge, F. & A. M., at Abbot. He died here in 1877, survived by his wife, who continues to live at the old home farm.

APTAIN FRANCIS D. HODGKINS, of Lamoine, Hancock County, was born November 13, 1824, on his present homestead, which was then within the limits of Trenton. His paternal grandfather, William Hodgkins, was a pioneer of both the county and town of Hancock. In the latter William reclaimed a farm from the wilderness, and on it spent his remaining years.
Nathan Hodgkins, the Captain's father, who was born in Hancock, and there grew to man's estate, learned the trade of a ship calker, and afterward followed it for many years. He also worked as a ship-carpenter, a trade in which he was proficient. Soon after his mar- riage he took up ninety acres of wild land in Lamoine, and had a goodly part of it under cultivation before the close of his fourscore and four years of life. He married Harriet Googins, a daughter of Roger Googins, Jr., and a grand-daughter of Roger Googins, Sr., the first settler of Trenton Point. (A more extended history of her immediate ancestors may be found in the biography of her brother, Alanson Googins.) Four children were born of the union, as follows: Matilda, who mar- ried Henry S. Boyton; Francis D., the sub- ject of this biography; Gilman, a resident of Lamoine, who married Sarah Gilpatrick; and
David D., of Lamoine, who successively mar- ried Augusta Coggins, a daughter of Captain Coggins, and Lizzie Harrington.
Having acquired a common-school educa- tion, Francis D. Hodgkins at the age of six- teen began his career as a fisherman, and for the ensuing twoscore years was profitably en- gaged in fishing and coasting. He was master mariner for the greater part of the time. Fif- teen years have now passed since he made an extended fishing trip. He still retains an in- terest in several vessels, which yield him a substantial annual income.
The Democratic party has no more loyal a supporter than Captain Hodgkins. He is a valued member of the Baptist church, toward the support of which he contributes liberally, and a charter member of the local grange. On October 28, 1851, he married Miss Cla- rissa Goggins, who died in early womanhood. She left six young children; namely, Frank L., Helen, Charles, Herbert, Rosie T., and Nathan. Nathan is now deceased. A second marriage united the Captain with Lydia E. Wilbur, who has proved herself a most devoted wife and a tender and loving mother to his children.
