His parents were Thomas Bodge and Martha (Hall) Stinchfield. The father, Thomas Bodge Stinchfield, was born in New Gloucester, Me., December 16, 1802. He died in Clinton, March 11, 1SS4. He was a man highly thought of by his fellow-townsmen for his well-rounded moral character. Though not a member of any church, he upheld the Christian religion, and was a leading advocate of temperance at a time when drinking habits
were almost universal. He was one of the carly working members of the society known as Sons of Temperance.

No. SS, G. A. R., of Clinton, which was named in honored remembrance of a former popular eiti- zen of Clinton, Captain Charles W. Billings, of Company C, Twentieth Maine Volunteer Infan- try, who was fatally wounded at Gettysburg, and died twelve days later, on July 15, 1863.

ON. FREDERICK ROBIE, four years (1883-87) Governor of Maine, is a native of Gorham, Cumberland County, that State. Born _August 12, 1822, the youngest of the three sons of the Hon. Toppan Robie by his second wife, Sarah Thaxter Lincoln, he is of the seventh genera- tion of his family in New England, the line of descent from Henry Robic, of Hampton, the immigrant progenitor thereof, being Henry,1 John,2 Ichabod,3 Samuel,+ Edward,5 Toppan,6 Frederick."
Of Henry Robie (or Roby), of Hampton, N.H., whose will was proved in June, 16SS, Savage says, "He may have been that man, born, as in the bible of his brother Thomas, at Castle Dunnington, was writ. 12 Feb. 1618-19, add that he went and lived in N. E." (New England).
The Robie family genealogist has no doubt on the matter, but considers it a well-estab- lished fact that the Henry of Hampton was the Henry born at Castle Donnington (spelled with an o instead of a u) at the date above mentioned. This family seat he places about four miles from the city of York, England, and occupied at the beginning of the sixteenth century by John Roby, who died in 1515, and his son Thomas, born in 1501: occupied later by Thomas, second, who married Joane Cow- ley in 1569, and after her death married in
1583 Mary Gately and by his son Thomas. third, who married Mary Coxon in 1556. and died in April, 1641, having been the father of sixteen children, among them Henry. the sixth- born, who sought his fortune in the New World.
Joining the Massachusetts Bay Colony at Dorchester in 1639, Henry Robie. or Robv. shortly removed to Exeter, N.II., and not less after 1650 took up his permanent abode at Hampton. The records show that he was a useful and influential citizen, holding imtor- tant publie offices, serving four years &: S :- lectman, many years as a justice of the peace. in 1660 one of the committee for seating the meeting-house, and in 1667 as one of the com .- missioners for settling the boundary betweez Hampton and Salisbury, Mass. His first wife. Ruth, died in 1673. His second. whom he married January 19, 1674, was Mrs. Elizabeth Garland, daughter of Thomas Philbrick and widow of John Garland, having previos- been wife and then widow of Thomas Chass. She died in 1677. His third wife, Sarah. sur- vived him.
John2 Robie, born in Exeter. N.H .. in 1640. son of Henry and Ruth, was a sollier turns Captain Joseph Syll, or Sill, in King PhiEr War. He settled in that part of the c .: town of Haverhill, Mass., that is now A :- kinson, N.H., where he built a house in 1675 or 1676. Ilis wife, Ann Corlis, whom he mar- ried in 1677, died June 1, 1691. About to weeks later, fearing an attack from the Indians. he took his younger children to a place ci safety, and was returning to his home with his oxen and cart and his son Ichabod. wh -: he was killed by the lurking foe. Ichabo : then a lad of less than twelve years, was car- ried captive to Canada, where he was ket: about a year. In 1695-96 he was keeper. i: is said, of the garrison at Exeter. In Jant- ary, 1707, he married Mary, daughter of Jo-ett Cass. The estate at Hampton Falls, on which he settled, is still known as the "Robie Farm. and owned in the family.
Samuel+ Robie, born in 1717, fifth child in a family of seven, by occupation a farnier az : tanner, settled in that part of the town ot Chester, N.H., that is now Raymond, and lates removed to Goffstown. In 1744 he was &

Lieutenant in the New Hampshire regiment commanded by Colonel Samuel Moore. In 1777 he was a member of the Chester Committee of Safety. His first wife was named Perkins. His second was Mrs. Phebe Butterfield, a widow. He had six children.
Edward Robie, born in April, 1746, died December 26, 1837. His home, with the ex- ception of about five years that he spent in Candia, N.H., was in Chester. His wife Sarah, whom he married October 10, 1771, died in 1843. aged eighty-nine. She was the daughter of Jolin and Sarah (Toppan) Smith, of Hamp- ton. After her father's death her mother married for her second husband Colonel John Webster, of Chester.
.
John Smith, father of Mrs. Edward Robie, was lineally descended from Robert Smith, a native of England, born about 1611, who, on coming to this country when a young man, settled first at Exeter, and afterward removed to Hampton. John2 Smith, son of Robert, married in 1676 Rebecca, daughter of Captain William and Rebecca (Page) Marston and grand- daughter of Captain William Marston, Sr., one of the early settlers of Hampton. John2 and Rebecca were the parents of Jabez,3 born about 1685, who married in 1718 Rachel Moulton, daughter of Lieutenant John2 Moul- ton, called the giant, and grand-daughter of John1 Moulton, . who became a resident of Hampton in 163S. Jabez? and his wife Rachel were the parents of John+ Smith, whose daugh- ter Sarah married Edward Robie.
Sarah Toppan, wife of John Smith, was the daughter of Dr. Edmund+ and Sarah (Wingate) Toppan, of Hampton. His father was the eldest son of the Rev. Christopher3 Toppan, D.D., of Newbury, and his wife, Sarah Angier, of Cambridge, daughter of Edmund and Ruth (Ames) Angier. The Rev. Christopher3 (Har- vard College, 1691) was a son of Peter and Jane (Batt) Toppan and grandson of Abra- ham Toppan, who came to Newbury with his wife Susanna, of Yarmouth, England, in 1637, and died in 1672. aged sixty-four years. The Rev. Christopher Toppan and Sarah Angier were great-great-grandparents of Toppan Robie.
The tombstone of Dr. Toppan bears these words :-
"A gentleman of good learning, of conspicu- ous piety and virtue."
He died in 1747, aged seventy-six years. In the spring of 1721 he sailed on a boat to Boothbay Harbor, where he preached in the forests to the Indians and settlers. In his diary of the visit he says :-
"An old savage said to me after my sermon: 'Very good speakin' yesterday. All one. You speak for that very good.'"
In the spring of 1896 his great-great-great- grandson, Governor Robie, going by railroad to Bath and by steamboat to Boothbay Harbor, delivered a memorial address, G. A. R., to the descendants of the same people, in a beautiful Town Hall at Boothbay. These historic con- ditions show the advance, during nearly two centuries, of the great State of Maine.
Colonel Joshua Wingate, the father of Sarah, wife of Dr. Edmund Toppan, afterward Mrs. John Smith, was born in Hampton in 1679, son of John and Sarah (Canney) Wingate. He was a great-great-grandfather of Toppan Robie, and married, in 1702, Mary, daughter of Henry Lunt, of Newbury, Mass. Colonel Wingate distinguished himself in the colonial wars. He was at the siege of Louisburg in 1745. He served as Representative and Sena- tor in Congress and as Judge of the Supreme Court. He died in 1769, aged ninety years.
Edward Robie, Governor Robie's grand- father, was a hard-working New Hampshire farmer, with no inclination for office.
Toppan Robie, born in Candia, N.H., January 27, 1782, died at Gorham, Me., January 14, 1871, having nearly completed his eighty-ninth year. Only a few years previously he had retired from mercantile business, in which for a long period he had been successfully engaged in Gorham. The Ilon. Toppan Robie was a Federalist, Whig, and Republican in politics, and most of the time a member of the minority party in nation, State, and town. He, how- ever, filled many important public offices. He was a member of the General Court of Massa- chusetts as Representative from Gorham from 1813 to 1819; to the Maine Legislature, 1820-21; and a member of Governor Kent's Executive Council in 1837. Ilis mercantile business was very large; and during his early and long pe-

riod of business he made the city of Boston his place of purchasing dry goods, which he sold to the farmers of Western Maine, Northern New Hampshire, and Vermont. He was one of the foremost citizens of the town, whose prosperity and progress he promoted in many ways, he was held in grateful esteem as a public bene- factor. The Soldiers' Monument, which was dedicated October 1, 1866, was one of his generous gifts. His example of liberal giving to the town of Gorham for educational and other uses has been followed by his son, the subject of this sketch, now hokling a business residence in Portland. His first wife, whom he married in 1804, was Lydia, daughter of Benjamin Brown, of Chester, N.H., and sister of the Rev. Francis Brown, sometime presi- dent of Dartmouth College. She died in Feb- ruary, 1811. His second wife, Sarah Thaxter Lincoln, whom he married in September, 1811, died in 1828. His third wife, Mrs. Eliza Cross, died in 1865. By his first marriage he had two children, Harriet and Francis Brown; and by his second, three-Charles, George, and Frederick, the latter now the only survivor. Of his third marriage there was no issue.
Sarah Thaxter Lincoln, second wife of Top- pan Robie and mother of Governor Robic, was a native of Hingham, Mass., the records (see History of Hingham, Genealogical) show- ing that she was baptized in August, 1793. She was the daughter of Captain John3 Lin- coln and his wife, Bethiah Thaxter. Her father, who was a master mariner, removed fron Hingham to Maine, making his home at first in Gorham and later in North Yarmouth, where he died in 1842. He was a deseendant in the fifth generation of Samuel1 Lineoln, an early settler of Hingham, the line being Sam- uel,1 23 Jonathan,+ John.5 To this may be added Sarah L." and Frederick Robie.7 Levi Lincoln, Governor of Massachusetts 1825-34, and Enoch Lincoln, Governor of Maine, also were descendants of Samuel,1 of Hlinghanı, through his son Samuel. Another interesting line of deseent from Samuel Lincoln was through his son Mordecai, thus: Samuel1; Mordecai2; Mordecai": John+ (went to Virginia) ; Abrahams (went to North Carolina and Ken- tucky); Thomas,6 of Kentucky and Indiana;
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. (History of Hingham, Genealogical, vol. ii.)
Frederick Robie pursued his preparatory studies at Gorham Academy, and was gradu- ated at Bowdoin College in 1841. Deciding to enter the medical profession, he took the course at Jefferson Medical College, Phila- delphia, received his diploma in 1844, and set- tled for practice in Biddeford, Me., remaining there till May, 1855. The next three years he practised in Waldoboro, and in 1858 returned to Gorham. Elected one of the Council of Governor Israel Washburn, he held that office till his appointment by President Lincoln, June 1, 1861, as Paymaster of United States Volun- teers. For two years he was in the South with the Army of the Potomac, was next stationed in Boston as chief Paymaster of the Depart- ment of New England, and in 1864 assigned to the Department of the Gulf at New Orleans, La. At the close of the war he was brevetted Lieutenant Colonel. In politics a Republican and always a man of progress, in 1866-67 he was a member of the Maine Senate. Subse- quently for nine years he represented the town of Gorham in the Legislature, and for two of these years was Speaker of the House. He was on the Executive Council of Governors Davis and Plaisted in 1SS0, 1881, 1SS2, and was Governor 1883 to 1887. He was on the Re- publican State Committee 186S to 1873, and was a delegate to the National Convention which nominated President Grant for his second term.
With the Patrons of Husbandry he early connected himself, and, being Worthy Master of the State Grange for eight years, was largely influential in advancing the agricultural in- terests of the State. Faithful and efficient, whatever station he was called to fill, he be- came widely known as a public servant of gen- uine worth. At the State election in 1882 he received nine thousand more votes for Governor than were received by Governor Harris M. Plaisted, the Democratic candidate for re-election; and, what was still more grati- fying, in 1884, after two years' experience as chief magistrate, he was re-elected by an in- creased majority of nearly twenty thousand.
