(For ancestry see Mark Lothrop 1.) (VI) George, eldest son of LOTHROP Daniel (2) and Hannah
(Howard) Lothrop, was born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, June 13, 1765, and died in Leeds, Maine, March 4, 1839. He eventually located in Leeds, where the family name is still preserved through his descend- ants. He married, in 1783, Polly, daughter of Jeremiah Thayer. She died October 25, 1831. Their children were: Alson, Daniel (both died in Bridgewater, 1790), Samuel, Rhoda (died young), Leavitt, Absolom (died young in Vassalborough), Jeremiah (died young), Hannah, Jeremiah and Polly.

He settled in Leeds, was an active and energetic merchant for many years at Lothrop's Corner, which by his efforts became a smart business center. He acquired wealth and became owner of a large amount of land. His home, where his young- est son, Willard, lived, was purchased of Abial Daily, M. D., the first resident physician in the town. He was the first postmaster in the town, which office he held twenty-five years, with great acceptance to the people. He was selectman seven years, and represented the town twice in the state legislature. He was also active in social and religious circles. He married, in Leeds, July 15, 1810, Sarah W., daughter of Captain Daniel and Sally (Whit- ing ) Lothrop, his cousin. Their children

He lived near his father where he owned a farm and was engaged throughout his life in agriculture. He was a Democrat in politics, and in religious faith a Baptist. He married, in Leeds, April 20, 1840, Hannah Turner, who was born in Leeds, Oc- tober II, 1818, and died March 1, 1905, daughter of George and Betsy (Gilbert) Tur- ner. Their children were: Lewis Leavitt, William Henry and Lydia Albina.
(IX) William Henry, second son of Sol- omon L. and Hannah (Turner) Lothrop, was born in Leeds, May 17, 1842, and died in Portland, April 21, 1880. He was educated at Monmouth Academy, and after leaving school engaged in the dry goods business at Augusta and Portland. From 1865 till the time of his death he was a member of the firm of Woodman, True & Company, wholesale dealers in dry goods and woolens. In politi- cal matters he acted with the Democratic party; in religious views he was a Baptist. He married, December 12, 1866, Georgie F. Noyes, who was born in Bath, Maine, 1842, still living. She was the daughter of Smith Woodard and Sarah (Harmon) Noyes, of Portland. To them were born four sons: Carl Dennison, William Henry, Harry W. and James Kimball.

He mar- ried, June 10, 1903, in Portland, Claire Eliza- beth Randall, who was born November 24, 1881, daughter of John F. and Elvira Small (Sargent) Randall, of Portland. (See Ran- dall.)
Briefly stated the pre-Ameri- BIGELOW can Bigelow pedigree may be noted as follows: (I) Rich- ard de Baguley, Lord of Baguley, Chester- shire, England, 1243, married Alice, daughter of Ralph de Vernon, and had a son. (II) Ralph de Baguley, who married a daughter of Hamon Massey, Baron of Dunham Massey, and had lands in Baguley and Ollerton, in the parish of Knutsford. His son (III) Hamon de Baguley, Lord of the Manor of Ollerton Hall, Chestershire, England, left many de- scendants in Ollerton. (IV) Ralph de Bagu- ley, of Ollerton Hall, made his will, and died

in 1540, leaving two sons, Randall and Nicho- las. (V) Randall de Baguley of Ollerton Hall, married Elcanor and died in 1556, leaving sons Philip and Robert. (VI) Robert de Baguley, of Ollerton, was buried at Knutsford November 4, 1582, leaving sons Randall and John. (VII) Randall Baguley, son of Robert, of Ollerton, married Jane , and died at Wrentham, Suffolk, in May, 1626. Their children were Persis, Su- san, William, Margaret and John.
(I) John Baguley, Biglo or Bigelow, son of Randall and Jane Baguley, is accorded the honor of having been the American ancestor of the now numerous and highly respectable family of the surname Bigelow in this coun- try. He was of Watertown, Colony of Massa- chusetts Bay, as early as 1642, and was one of the proprietors of the town. He bought a house and land there in 1649, took the oath of fidelity in 1652, but appears not to have been admitted freeman until 1690. He was a black- smith by trade and planter by principal occu- pation, and evidently a man of some conse- quence in the town ; was surveyor of highways in 1652 and 1660, constable in 1663, and se- lectman in 1665 and 1670-71. He married (first) August 30, 1642, Mary, daughter of John and Margaret Warren, theirs being the first marriage recorded in Watertown. She died October 19, 1691, and he married (sec- ond) October 2, 1694, Sarah, daughter of Joseph Bemis, of Watertown. The marriage of John Bigelow and Mary Warren united two famous New England families. John Warren, father of Mary, was on the list of one hundred and eighteen freemen of Watertown in 1631, and he was selected one of those charged with the duty of laying out and caring for high- ways, and was selectman from 1636 to 1640. The descent of the New England Warrens, whose immigrant ancestor was John Warren, of Watertown, has been traced from William the Conqueror, in the Norman line, and in the Saxon line from A. D. 495 ; also back through the royal lines of France, Germany and Italy. William de Warren was a Norman knight and fought at Hastings.
John Bigelow died July 14, 1703, aged eighty-six years. By his wife, Mary Warren, he had thirteen children, all born in Water- town: I. John, March 14, 1643. 2. Jona- than, December 11, 1646. 3. Mary, March 14, 1648. 4. Daniel, December 1, 1650. 5. Sam- uel, October 28, 1653. 6. Joshua, November 5. 1655. 7. Elizabeth, June 15, 1657. 8. Sarah, September 29, 1659. 9. James, lived in
Watertown. 10. Martha, April 1, 1662. II. Abigail, February 4, 1664. 12. Hannah, March 4, 1666. 13. A son, December 18, 1667.
(II) Joshua, son of John and Mary (War- ren) Bigelow, was born in Watertown, No- vember 5, 1655, and lived many years in that town, although the latter part of his life was spent in Narragansett No. 2, now Westmin- ster, Massachusetts, where he died February I, 1745. During King Philip's war he was a soldier in Captain Ting's company, and was wounded in battle with the Indians, and in consideration of his services he received from the general court a grant of land in what was known as Narragansett No. 2, but now is the town of Westminster. When he was quite old he went there with his son Ezekiel and made a home. He married, October 20, 1676, Elizabeth Flagg, born March 22, 1657, died August 9, 1729, daughter of Thomas and Mary Flagg; children: I. Joshua, born No- vember 25, 1677; married Hannah Fiske. 2. Jonathan, March 22, 1679. 3. John, Decem- ber 20, 1681. 4. Benjamin, January 20, 1683, died October 27, 1709. 5. Jabez, supposed to have gone to live in Bristol, England. 6. Elizabeth, August 3, 1687; married February 28, 1724, Jonathan Harrington. 7. David, April 30, 1694. 8. Joseph, December 29, 1695. 9. Daniel, August 29, 1697. 10. Ebenezer, September 4, 1698. 11. Gershom, September 6, 1701. 12. Eleizer, March 14, 1705.
(III) Jonathan, son of Joshua and Eliza- beth (Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Water- town, March 22, 1679, and died after January 30, 1746. He was a farmer, and lived in the town of Weston, where all of his five children are believed to have been born. He married (first) June II, 1702, Elizabeth Bemis, died January II, 1734, and (second) January 29, 1742, Mary Rice, of Sudbury. His children : I. Jonathan, born January 11, 1707. 2. Ben- jamin, December 8, 1709. 3. Elizabeth, about August 9, 1713. 4. Sarah, July 26, 1719, died November 22, 1739. 5. James, May 17, 1722.
(IV) James, youngest child of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Bemis) Bigelow, was born in Weston, May 17, 1722. and while little appears to be known of him he is believed to have lived for a time at least in Worcester, Massa- chusetts. The baptismal name of his wife was Sarah, and they had at least two children : I. James, born January 26, 1742 (one record says January 1, 1743). 2. Enoch, born Oc- tober 2, 1746; married Betty Clemons, and lived in Charlton.

(V) James (2), son of James (I) and Sarah Bigelow, was born in "Western" (Wes- ton), probably January 26, 1742, and the tra- dition is that "his father was a roving man and that little was known of him or what be- came of him." It is said, too, that the son James was taken when a small child and brought up in a family of another name; and "from what little we learn of him he appears to have been of a roving disposition and had no regular abiding place." However, about 1758, when sixteen years old, he enlisted for service in the French and Indian war and continued in service until its close. During the revolution he enlisted, April 19, 1775, in Colonel Doolittle's regiment, and served throughout the war; and he never re- ceived either bounty or pension for his services.
He married, about 1763, Mary Sawyer, born in Kittery, Maine, October 29, 1740. They set- tled in Templeton, Massachusetts, and lived there until 1786, then removed to Maine and settled in Bloomfield, now Skowhegan. He died there January 27, 1829, aged eighty-seven years, and his wife Mary died there May 29, 1817. They had children : I. Betty, born May 1, 1764; married Solomon Steward. 2. James, January 1, 1766. 3. George, twin, January 17, 1768; married Mary Clark. 4. Mary, twin, January 17, 1768, died young. 5. Samuel, November 3, 1769; married Rebecca Steward. 6. Ephraim, March 23, 1772 ; mar- ried Esther Coburn. 7. Molly, December 30, 1774, died August 26, 1777. 8. Abraham, August 20, 1777; married Susan Emery. 9. Polly, August 16, 1779; married James Pratt. IO. Levi, January 22, 1782; married Sally Emery.
(VI) James (3), son of James (2) and Mary (Sawyer) Bigelow, was born in Tem- pleton, Massachusetts, January I, 1766, and spent his life chiefly in Skowhegan, Maine; he married Betty (Betsey) Davis ; children, all born in Skowhegan: I. Cushman, December 15, 1797. 2. Amasa, September 22, 1799. 3. Mary, May 5, 1801. 4. Susan, December 29, 1803. 5. James, March 18, 1805. 6. Joann, September 21, 1808. 7. Jonathan, October 17, 18II. 8. Betsey, August 25, 1814. 9. Sarah, December 20, 1817. 10. Hannah, April 27, 1820. II. Louisa, January 20, 1824.
- (VII) Susan Bigelow, daughter of James (3) and Betsey (Davis) Bigelow, was born in Skowhegan, Maine, December 29, 1803, and married June 22, 1826, Sullivan Lothrop (see Lothrop VII). They lived at St. Albans, where Mr. Lothrop died October 7, 1882.
The Josselyns are a family JOSSELYN of Norman origin, and went into England with William the Conqueror and became seated in Lincoln- shire. The Earl of Roden was of this family, as also were two lord mayors of the city of London, 1472 and 1476. A prelate who bore the name of Joceline was made abbot of Mel- rose Abbey in 1170, and became bishop of Glasgow in 1174. Besides these there have been some very eminent men in English his- tory who bore the surname Josceline. The name too has several corruptions, and appears in various records as Joslin, Josceline, Joss- lyne, Joslen, Joseline and Josselyn, the latter being the generally accepted form adopted by the New England family, and itself one of the several modifications of Joscelyne.
(I) Thomas Josselyne, husbandman, came from London, England, to New England, in the ship "Increase," April 17, 1635. He then was forty-three years old, and was accompa- nied by his wife Rebecca, aged forty-three, and their five children. Thomas Josselyne was a proprietor and inhabitant of Hingham and Lancaster, Massachusetts, was selectman in 1645, and is conceded to have been the foun- der of the Josselyne family of Plymouth col- ony. He died in Lancaster in 1660. After his death his widow Rebecca married William Kerly. Children of Thomas and Rebecca Josselyne : I. Rebecca, born 1617, in England ; died Hingham, September 22, 1675; married Thomas Nichols. 2. Abraham, born 1619 (see post). 3. Joseph, born 1621; married and had children. 4. Dorothy, born 1624. 5. Nathaniel, 1627. 6. Elizabeth, born 1629; married at Boston, June 21, 1652, Edward Yeomans. 7. Mary, born 1634.
(II) Abraham, eldest son and child of Thomas and Rebecca Josselyne, was born in England and seems to have been a mariner by occupation. He did not come to America with his father's family, but joined them soon after in Hingham. Like his father he appears to have been a man of enterprise and some wealth. He had an assignment of land in Hingham in 1647, and had children baptized there in 1649 and 1650. In 1660 the birth of his son Nathaniel was recorded in Boston, and perhaps he then lived there, or in Hull. He removed to Lancaster before 1663, and died there before July 9, 1670, when "William Kerly of Marlborough, husbandman, by the consent and approbation of Mrs. Beatris Jos- celin, the late dec'd Abram Joseline's widow, sold to Abram Joscelin, eldest sonne of the s'd Mrs. Jocelin, 86 acres of land in Lan-

caster." On April 2, 1672, "Abram Jocelin, of Lancaster, was admitted administrator of his father's estate, and presenting an inven- tory attested the same on oath." The name of Abraham Josselyn's wife was Beatrice, variously written Beatris, Beatrix and Bet- teris, the last in Boston records, and also in the following extract from Middlesex deeds, which decides the first Abraham's paternity and occupation : "Abram Joslin, of Lancaster, mariner, and wife Betteris," sold May 29, 1663, to Henry Kemble, of Boston, black- smith, certain lands in Lancaster, "formerly granted to his (Abraham's) father, Thomas Joslin, dec'd." On the 16th of the 9th month, 1671, Mrs. Beatrice Joselyn married Benjamin Boseworth, and removed to Hull. In 1682 they sold their property at Hull and removed to Stow, and lived there several years. Chil- dren of Abraham and Beatrice Josselyn: I. Abraham, baptized April 8, 1649. 2. Henry (see post). 3. Philip, baptized December 15, 1650. 4. Nathaniel, born July 4, 1660, died April 8, 1694. 5. Joseph, born May 26, 1663. 6. Mary, born October 14, 1666. 6. Rebecca, died March, 1712-13.
(III) Henry, of Scituate, Massachusetts, blacksmith, second son of Abraham and Beatrice Josselyn, was in Scituate before 1669, according to Rev. Samuel Deane's history of that town. That he was the brother of Abra- ham Jr., and therefore son of Abraham, the elder, is shown by the court records already mentioned, and also by his deed to Thomas Harris, dated November 1, 1695, the sub- stance of which is as follows: "Henry Joslyn, of Scituate, blacksmith, and wife Abigail, sold, etc., to Thomas Harris, of Boston, II0 acres of land in Lancaster, which said land ffell to the said Henry Joslyn by the death of his el- der brother Abraham Joslyn, it being the same land his said brother possessed." This Abra- ham Joselyn, brother of Henry, was killed by Indians at Lancaster, and afterward he him- self "never could brook the sight of an In- dian." He died at Hanover, Massachusetts, October 30, 1730, being called on the church records "the oldest man for years."
Henry Josselyn married, in Scituate, in 1676, Abigail, daughter of Charles and Abi- gail Stockbridge; children: I. Abigail, born 1677 ; married, 1713, Benjamin Harmor. 2. Abraham, born 1678. 3. Anna, born 1680, died young. 4. Charles, born 1682. 5. Mary, born 1684; married, 1713, Benjamin Munroe. 6. Nathaniel, born 1686; married 17II, Frances Yellings. 7. Rebecca, born 1689, died young. 8. Jabez, born 1690; mar-
ried 1722, Saralı Turner. 9. Jemima, born 1695, died young. 10. Keziah, born 1695. II. Henry, born 1697 (see post). 12. Joseph, born 1699; "was eminent for christian benev- olence and patriotism"; gave the bell for Han- over meeting house; bore the title of captain and was one of the proprietors of the Bardine Forge; married, in 1726, Ruth Bates. 13. Thomas, born 1702; was selectman several terms and representative to general court; gave a communion service to the church at Hanover, where for many years he was dea- con ; "no man in that part of Plymouth Colony stood higher for enterprise and political sa- gacity"; married, in 1732, Anna Stockbridge.
Abigail Stockbridge, wife of Henry Josselyn, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, Feb- ruary 24, 1660-61, daughter of Charles and Abigail Stockbridge, who lived first in Boston, afterward in Charlestown, and finally removed to Scituate. Charles Stockbridge was born in 1634, in England, and is said to have built by contract the second water-power mill in the town of Plymouth, in 1676. He died in 1683, and his widow afterward married Amos Tur- ner. Charles Stockbridge was a son of John Stockbridge, an Englishman by birth, a wheel- wright by trade, and who came to America in June, 1635, in the ship "Blessing," John Lei- cester, master, being then twenty-seven years old. He was accompanied by his wife Anne, aged twenty-one, and their son Charles, aged one year. John Stockbridge was in Scituate in 1638, and took the oath of fidelity in that year; was one of the Conihasset partners in 1646, and in 1656 purchased one-half of the mill privilege of John Russell, with the saw mill which Isaac Stedman had built ten years before, and in the same year in company with Russell erected a grist mill. About the same time he built the Stockbridge mansion, which was used as a garrison house during King Phillip's war. John and Anne Stockbridge had seven children, of whom Charles was the first born, and their only child born in Eng- land.
(IV) Henry (2), son of Henry (I) and Abigail (Stockbridge) Josselyn, was born in 1697, and lived and died in Pembroke, Massa- chusetts. He married, in 1721, Hannah Old- ham; children: I. Hannah, born October I, 1719; married November 16, 1738, Henry Munroe, of Swansea. 2. Lydia, born August 25, 1722. 3. Mary, married November 10, 1742, Shubael Munroe. 4. Henry, born June II, 1727. 5. Margaret, born December 9, 1729; married Seth Ford. 6. Joseph, born June 22, 17:34. 7. Charles, born May 7, 1739.

8. Lucy, born October 5, 1741 ; married Isaac Ford. 9. Isaac (see post).
(V) Isaac, son of Henry (2) and Hannah (Oldham) Josselyn, was born in Hanover, Massachusetts, November 4, 1743. He was engaged at work in the forge there for many Maine, years, and afterward removed to where he died. He married, September 12, 1772, Lois Ramsdell ; children : I. Isaac, born January 3, 1774, died October 24, 1799; mar- ried October 15, 1797, Christiana Josselyn. 2. Almerin, born July 16, 1775 ; married July 28, 1801, Chloe Whitney. 3. Lois, born 1776, died 1778. 4. Roland, born May 3, 1778; married Mary Church; lived in Maine. 5. Lois, born February 20, 1780; married, November 26, 1801, John Woodworth. 6. Hervey, born January 25, 1782; removed to Maine. 7. Hannah, born and died in 1783. 8. Alden, born May 20, 1784 (see post). 9. Ezra, born January 3, 1787 ; removed to Maine. 10. Syl- vester, born June 6, 1789. II. John D., born June 4, 1791 ; removed to Maine. 12. Martin, born 1793, removed to Maine, and died there.
(VI) Alden, son of Isaac and Lois (Rams- dell) Josselyn, was born in Hanover, Massa- chusetts, May 20, 1784, and died in Maine. He came early to this state, whence several others of his family had settled, and lived at Fayette. He married Polly Page ; children : I. Almerin, died at age of nineteen years. 2. Alden Clark, born 1811; married Theodora Jenkins, and had a daughter, Mehitable Jen- kins, now Mrs. Julius Blanchard, of Rumford Falls, Maine. 3. William Harrison, born Au- gust 12, 1813. 4. Lewis Turner. 5. John Dearborn, married Theresa Crane; children : Tudor C., Elwyn R., Augustus, Hattie (Mrs. Bradbury of Rockland, Massachusetts), May Louise and Carrie F. 6. Martin Luther, married, and had a son Martin.
(VII) William Harrison, son of Alden and Polly (Page) Josselyn, was born in Fayette, Maine, August 12, 1813, and died in Portland, October 16, 1882. When a boy, although left principally to his own resources, he acquired a good common school and academic education. On arriving at the age of twenty-one years he removed to the town of Phillips, in Frank- lin county, and obtained employment as a clerk in a store in the village. In that position he remained about three years. He then went into mercantile business for himself in the town, and for thirty years maintained the character of an honorable and successful mer- chant, at the end of which time, in 1866, he re- moved to Portland.
During his long residence in Phillips, Mr.
Josselyn was a leading citizen enjoying in an eminent degree the confidence and esteem of that entire community. For sixteen years he was one of the selectmen of Phillips, and for about the same length of time one of the superintending school committee of the town. In 1855 he represented the Phillips district in the Maine house of representatives. But this popularity was not confined to his adopted town. In 1863 and 1864 he was the member of the state senate from Franklin county and held high rank in that body. After his re- moval to Portland he was elected to the com- mon council from ward number three in 1871, and was a member of the board of aldermen in 1872, after which he voluntarily retired from public life; and, although he was before and since that time offered other public positions he uniformly declined them. For about twenty years Mr. Josselyn had been an active, influ- ential member of the board of trustees of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female Col- lege, and at various times contributed liberally to the funds of that institution, where a por- tion of his family received their education.
After removing to Portland Mr. Josselyn first went into business as a flour merchant, in company with Ralph and Alonzo Butler. He was subsequently engaged with Arad Ev- ans in wholesale and retail furniture about six years. He then, in company with his son Theodore A. Josselyn, engaged in the flour business, as wholesale commission merchants, and continued a member of this firm until 1877, when on account of failing health he retired and did not afterward engage in any active business. During his long career as a merchant he always enjoyed the entire con- fidence of the business world. Honest, prompt and energetic, fair and square in all his busi- ness relations, he made life in this department a success.
In politics Mr. Josselyn was originally a Whig, and so continued until the formation of the Republican party, when he was among the first to connect himself with that political or- ganization, in which faith he lived and died. In early life he embraced the christian religion and connected himself with the Methodist Episcopal church, continuing a member of that denomination until the time of his death. While in Phillips he was the mainstay and support of the Methodist church in that town, contributing largely of his means and devoting much time and personal labor to the advance- ment of the cause. Upon removing to Port- land he connected himself with the Chestnut Street Methodist Episcopal church. In each
382
STATE OF MAINE.
of these churches he held nearly all the offices known among the laity of that denomination. During his long religious life not a shade had ever been thrown across his christian charac- ter. Mr. Josselyn was a man of strong, de- cided convictions. He was careful and de- liberate in forming his opinions, but when once his mind was made up nothing could turn him aside from what he believed to be right. As a friend he was genial, kind-hearted, sympathizing and true. But it was in the sacred retirement of the family circle that his virtuous life shone forth with the greater lus- ter.
