(VIII) Theodore Alden, eldest son of Will- iam Harrison and Mary Ann ( Marston) Josse- lyn, was born in Phillips, Franklin county, Maine, December 18, 1842, died in Portland, October 1. 1905. He spent the days of his boy- hood and early manhood in his native town, and prior to graduating from the Maine Wes- leyan Seminary he taught school in the neigh- boring districts. He graduated in 1864 with highest honors, and in 1869 removed to Port- land, where the remainder of his life was passed. In 1869 he was the junior member of the firm of Butler, Josselyn & Son, the firm being made up of his father, William H. Josselyn, and Ralph Butler, the latter of whom continued business until 1874 and then re- tired. The firm name then was changed to Josselyn & Company, and continued in busi- ness until 1878, when Mr. Josselyn's father retired, and Augustus D. Brown was admit-
ted to the firm, which then took the style of Brown & Josselyn. In 1890 Mr. Brown died, but the firm name continued. Mr. Josselyn was a Republican in politics, and took more than an ordinary interest in public affairs. He was a member of the city council for two years, 1890-91, alderman in 1892-93, and in 1902-03-05 was elected to the state legislature, where he served two terms. He felt a great pride in the city of Portland and the state of Maine, and great faith in the future of both. He was an active member of the board of trade, and for several years was one of its board of managers. He was also a director in the Canal National Bank, and a trustee of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Woman's College. He was also active in many of the charitable organizations of his native city and state, and charity without ostentation was one of his strong characteristics. He was at the head of one of the oldest and most reliable business houses, the development of which was due almost wholly to his farsighted man- agement, and up to the time of his last illness no man was more regularly at his post of business than he. His character was exempli- fied in his thorough business methods. He was one of the most companionable of men, always reliable in all of his dealings and social relations, and as a public official in the councils of the city and state he served with marked ability and fidelity. On the occasion of Mr. Josselyn's death the following notice of him appeared in one of the leading papers of Port- land :
"Mr. Josselyn had been in impaired health for some time, and gradually had been failing since the adjournment of the legislature in which he was one of the representatives from this city, and where with that tireless activity ever so characteristic of him he had worked so earnestly and loyally. Indeed, there is little doubt that the cares of his official position in the legislature combined with those of his ex- tensive business life weighed so heavily on him as to seriously affect his health. But he made a strong fight and at the adjournment of the legislature resumed the personal direc- tion of his business. Early in the summer, however, he was obliged reluctantly to lay aside his business cares.
"Theodore A. Josselyn was one of Port- land's sterling business men and none was more esteemed, respected and trusted than he, by his business associates and by the people of the city. Although a man who never sought public office, he has been repeatedly called by his fellow citizens to positions of trust and

honor which he filled with strict devotion to what was honorable and right, displaying a clear sightedness and accuracy of judgment which made him a most valuable public serv- ant. As a member of both branches of the city council, at one time being the only Repub- lican member thereof, his counsels were lis- tened to and generally heeded for his unselfish- ness, his uprightness and his usually unerring judgment were recognized by all. When he was elected to the state legislature these same qualities, unusual as they are valuable, early obtained recognition and during his service there he became one of the most influential and efficient members. On more than one oc- casion, by saying the word, he might have become his party's candidate for mayor of the city, which in the case of a man so popular and universally trusted as Mr. Josselyn would have been equivalent to an election, and it was the hope of his many friends and admirers that he might sometime see his way clear to serve his city as its chief executive.
"Mr. Josselyn, while not an ostentatious giver. was one of the most charitable men in Portland and gave freely of his means to as- sist those less fortunate than himself. And as in everything else which he did, he was an intelligent giver and made a study of intelli- gent charity work. He was a most valuable member of many of Portland's charitable in- stitutions and organizations. Quiet and un- assuming in manner, never pushing himself forward, not a public speech maker, Mr. Josselyn by his conspicuous public services, his unfailing geniality and kindness became one of the most widely known men in the city and state, and not one of his thousands of ac- quaintances but regarded him as a friend."
He married, May 31, 1866, Lorania Rand, born in Phillips, May 8, 1844. daughter of Ephraim and Louisa A. Rand, of Phillips. They had two children, Harrison C. and Ever- ett Rand.
(IX) Harrison Clyde, son of Theodore A. and Lorania (Rand) Josselyn, was born in Farmington, Maine, August 9. 1870, and was educated in the Portland public schools and at Phillips Andover Academy, Andover, Mas- sachusetts, class of '92. He was a clerk in the employ of Brown & Josselyn in 1892, and became a partner in the firm in 1897. After the death of their father, Harrison C. and Everett R. Josselyn succeeded to the business he had left, and have since carried it on with gratifying success. The firm of Brown & Josselyn has had a long and successful career, and stands among the best in New England
for integrity and honorable business methods. It carries on an extensive general commission business in flour, grain and feed throughout the state of Maine and eastern and northern New Hampshire. H. C. Josselyn is a Repub- lican in politics. He is a member of Ancient Landmark Lodge, No. 17, Free and Accepted Masons; Mt. Vernon Royal Arch Chapter, No. 1; Portland Council, No. 4, Royal and Select Masters; and Portland Commandery, No. 2, Knights Templar; also of the Maine Genealogical Society, the Portland Board of Trade, and of several local clubs. He mar- ried, in Portland, April 5, 1899, Alice S. Chase, born in Portland, January 1I, 1875, only child of Charles S. and Louise K. (Saw- yier ) Chase.
(IX) Everett Rand, son of Theodore Al- den and Lorania (Rand) Josselyn, was born in Portland, Maine, August 29, 1874, and was educated in Portland public schools, Hebron Academy and Colby University, graduating from the latter with the class of '98. In busi- ness life he is junior member of the firm of Brown & Josselyn, general flour and feed mer- chants, Portland. He was a member of the Portland city government, and also of the city fire commission from 1902 to 1908. He is now a member of the Portland Board of Trade; Portland Lodge, No. I, Free and Ac- cepted Masons; Mt. Vernon Chapter, No. I, R. A. M .; Portland Lodge, No. 188, B. P. O. E .; the United Commercial Travellers, Port- land Yacht Club, Portland Motor Boat Club, the Lincoln Club and Zeta Psi fraternity, Chi Chapter. Mr. Josselyn married, April 21, 1904, Mary Louise, only daughter of Hon. George Dana and Louise Bisbee, of Rumford Falls, Maine.
The surname Heywood is HEYWOOD distinct from Haywood, Hayward and Howard, al- though the spelling of each in every possible way makes it difficult not to confuse the fam- ilies, especially where Heywards, Howards and Heywoods were living in the same town. The derivation of the name Heywood is given in a pedigree prepared by Peter John Hey- wood, of Whitehaven, England, 1781, and published in "Hunter's Life and Times of Oliver Heywood," who was a non-conformist clergyman of note in the days of Charles I. The pedigree runs back to the year 1164, a period when surnames were beginning to come into use in the mother country. Often some local feature of a man's place of resi- dence was employed to distinguish him from

others bearing the same christian name. The earliest authentic document containing the name of Heywood or its prototype is a title deed, still preserved, for a tract of land in Lancashire from one Adame de Burgo or de Bury, who held the knight's fee to a large section of territory in the vicinity to Peter de Ey-wood, that is, "of wooded island." The latter was the reputed founder of the Hey- wood family in England, from which the American family is descended. This estate remained in the possession of the descendants of Peter Heywood more than five hundred years, or until 1717, when Robert Heywood sold it to John Starkey, of Rochdale, whose grandson, James Starkey, dying intestate, al- lowed the place to pass into the hands of the Crown. It is now an attractive public park, having been donated for the purpose by Queen Victoria. While the English line from this Peter Heywood is traced in an unbroken line from this Peter Heywood, the ancestry of the emigrants to America had not at last accounts been discovered. James and John Heywood, both about twenty-two years old, presumably brothers, came together in the ship "Planter" in 1635. They were both certified from Step- ney parish, London. James Heywood settled in Charlestown and Woburn, where he died November 20. 1642.
(I) John Heywood, mentioned above, was probably born in London about 1620, died January II, 1707. He settled in Concord, Massachusetts, and was admitted a freeman in 1670. He married (first) August 17, 1656, Rebecca, daughter of Thomas Atkinson. She was probably not his first wife, unless his age is estimated wrongly. She died 1665 and he married (second) Sarah Simonds. He mar- ried (third) Priscilla -, who survived him. Children of first wife: I. Rebecca, born September 9. 1657, died young. 2.

William Swift (or Swyft), the SWIFT patriarch ancestor of the Swifts of Sandwich, Cape Cod, Massa- chusetts, came from Bocking, Suffolk county, England, with the great flood of immigrants who left England, 1630-34, to make new homes in the New World. He landed in Bos- ton, probably in 1630, and settled in Water- town, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He sold his property in Watertown in 1637 and re- moved to Plymouth Colony, locating at Sand- wich in 1638. He died there in January, 1643, and the inventory of his estate amounted to forty-seven pounds, eleven shillings, one pence. His widow Joan made a will October 12, 1662, and in it she named her son Will- iam and his children: two sons of Daniel Wing and grandsons of John and Deborah ( Bochiler ) Wing and great-grandsons of the Rev. Stephen Wing (Daniel Wing had mar- ried Hannah, daughter of the testatrix, No- vember 5, 1642, and she had died January 31, 1664). The testatrix also married Experience and Zebediah, children of Mr. Allen and Mary

Dorley. That the Swifts were not strict Puritans is shown by the record of the ten shillings laid on her October 2, 1669 "for being at Quaker Meeting."
(II) William, eldest son of William and Joan Swift, was a passenger with his parents in their voyage across the Atlantic. He was probably born in England in 1627. He was active in the affairs of the town of Sandwich, and in 1654-55 subscribed fifteen shillings to- ward building a new meeting house, one of the largest subscriptions on the list. On the 23rd of 2d month, 1675, his name is recorded among the freemen of Sandwich. He made a will December 15, 1705, which was probated January 29, 1706, and in it he names his wife Ruth, his sons, William, Ephraim, Samuel, Josiah, Jirah, and her daughters, Mary, Tém- perance. Esther and Dianah. Of these chil- dren we know as follows: I. William, born August 28, 1654, made his will June 17, 1700, and the instrument was probated May 12, 1701. He names his wife Elizabeth and the following children : William, born January 24, 1679: Joseph. Benjamin, Thomas, Josiah and Ebenezer. William (2) died five years before the death of his father. 2. Ephraim, born June 6, 1656, made his will April 10, 1735, and the instrument was probated February 17, 1742, in which he names his wife Sarah and children: Elizabeth, born December 29, 1680; Joanna. July 7, 1684; Samuel, April 9, 1686; Ephraim, December 16, 1688; Sarah, April 12, 1692; Hannah, May 19, 1695; Moses, Sep- tember 15, 1699. 3. Mary, April 17, 1659. 4.

Josiah, married (first) April 16, 1706, Mary Bodfish, prob- ably daughter of Joseph Bodfish, and (second) Experience Nye, daughter of John Nye. 6. Jirah (q. v.).
(III) Jirah, fifth son and sixth child of William and Sarah Swift, was born in Sand- wich, Plymouth Colony, in 1665. He was married November 26, 1697, to Abigail Gibbs. He was admitted as a townsman of the town of Sandwich in 1700 and as freeman in 1702. He made his will March 29, 1744, and in it he names his wife Mary and she was his sec- ond wife. His will was probated May I, 1749, which fixes the date of his death as April of that year. He joined a large num- ber of the members of the church in Sandwich in a petition to the general court to dismiss the Rev. Mr. Fessenden as not a suitable min- ister of the church or allow the dissenters to form a new church, but the petition was dis-
missed by the court. Jirah and Abigail (Gibbs) Swift had children including Roland, who married Mary Dexter, and their son Zephaniah, born in Wareham, Massachusetts, February 27, 1759, was graduated at Yale, A. B., 1777; A. M., 1781 ; was a representa- tive from Connecticut in the third and fourth congresses, 1793-97 ; was judge of the supreme court of Connecticut, 1801-06, and chief jus- tice, 1806-19. He married Lucretia Webb and had seven children. Yale and Middleburg conferred on him the honorary degree of LL. D. in 1817 and 1821 respectively. He was the author of valued law books. He died in War- ren, Ohio, September 27, 1823. Lewis Swift, the astronomer, was a son of General Lewis Swift and grandson of Roland and Mary (Dexter) Swift. Another son was Job (q. v.).
(IV) Job, son of Jirah and Abigail (Gibbs) Swift, was born in Sandwich, Massachusetts, October 3, 17II, and died at Stoughtonham (Sharon), Massachusetts, February 14, 1801. He married Sarah Blackwell, who was born at Sandwich, Massachusetts, February 6, 1713, and died April 2, 1772, at Sharon, then known as Stoughtonham. The marriage took place January 20, 1733. The children of Job and Sarah (Blackwell) Swift were: I. Job (2), who married (first) September 14. 1768, Re- becca Coming, and (second) April 5, 1779, Elizabeth Guild. 2. Joshua (q. v.). 3.

(V) Joshua, second son of Job and Sarah (Blackwell) Swift, was born in Stoughton- ham (Sharon), Massachusetts, August 24, 1744. He was a private in the American army in the revolutionary war, enlisting at Boston, January or February, 1781, and serving two years in Captain James Wilkinson's company, Colonel Graton's regiment. He took part in several skirmishes with the enemy and was an applicant for a pension, May 4, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Lisle, Browne county, New York, and his age seventy-four years. He was married June 14, 1769, to Mary Hewins, who was born in Stoughton- ham, Massachusetts, in 1751, and after the war they removed to Lisle, Browne county, New York, where the soldier died after May 4, 1818, at which time he was seventy-four years of age. Their son Joshua (q. v.) was
386

born the same year in which his father joined the patriot army.
(V1) Joshua (2), son of Joshua (1), the soldier, and Mary (Hlewins) Swift, was born at Sharon, Massachusetts, in 1781. He re- moved to Fairlee, Vermont, where he married Martha Marston, a native of that place, and he became a prominent citizen. He was a (leacon in the Congregational church for many years, and his daughter, Rebecca, was born in Fairlee, November 29, 18044, and married, September 4, 1830, Grant Smith ( see Smith III). Deacon Joshua Swift died in Fairlee, Vermont, August, 1852. He was the grand- father of Sheridan Irving Smith.
THOMAS The Thomas family appears very early in Plymouth coun- ty, Massachusetts, where there were several representatives of the name. It has been identified with the settlement and development of Maine from a very early pe- riod in the history of this state and has sent out from here many worthy representatives. (I) William Thomas, born about 1573, was one of the merchant adventurers from Lon- don who sailed from Yarmouth, England, in the "Mary and Anne," in 1637. He had pre- viously been in the Plymouth Colony as early as 1630, and as early as 1641 settled at Green Harbor, in the town of Marshfield, Massachu- setts. His estate at that point subsequently became the home of Daniel Webster. He was evidently a man of property, as he gave land for the minister and a site for a meeting house at Green Harbor, where he died in August, 1651.
(II) Nathaniel, son of William Thomas, was born in England, in 1606, and died in Marshfield, in 1674. He brought from Eng- land a wife whose name has not been re- corded. Children : William, born 1638; Mary, married Simeon Ray, of Block Island; Na- thaniel, 1643 ; Elizabeth, 1616.
(III) Nathaniel (2), second son of Nathan- iel (1) Thomas, born 1643, died in Marsh- field, October 22, 1718. He was a soldier at the first outbreak of King Philip's war, held the rank of lieutenant, and was later promoted to captain. He was representative to the gen- eral court in 1672 and for seven years there- after, from Boston. He married (first) Feb- ruary II, 1664, Deborah, youngest daughter of Nicholas and Mary Jacobs, of Hingham, where she was baptized November 26, 1643. She died June 17, 1696, and he married (sec- ond) Elizabeth, widow of Captain William Condy, whose maiden name was Dolbery. She
died in December, 1713, and he married (third) in 1714, widow Elizabeth Wade, daughter of Rev. Henry Dunster, first presi- dent of Harvard College. Children : Nathan- iel, Joseph, Deborah, Dorothy, William, Elish'a, Joshua, Caleb, Isaac and Mary.
(1V) Nathaniel (3), eldest son of Nathan- iel (2) and Deborah (Jacobs) Thomas, was born in 1664, in Sandwich, and died there February 24, 1738, and was buried at Ply- mouth. He married (first) in 1694, Mary, daughter of John Appleton, of Ipswich, and (second) in 1730, Anna (Tisdale) widow of George Leonard. Children, born of the first marriage : Nathaniel, died young; John, born 1696; Nathaniel, 1700; Joseph, 1702; and Mary, 1709.
(V) Joseph, third son of Nathaniel (4) and Mary (Appleton) Thomas, was born 1702, in Sandwich, and probably lived in Dux- bury, though no account of him appears in the records of that town. It is presumable that his stay there was short. He married, in Boston, June 24, 1737, Silence Adams, Rev. Samuel Mather performing the ceremony.
(VI) Joseph (2), undoubtedly a son of Joseph (I) and Silence ( Adams) Thomas, was born in or near Boston, about 1738, and resided at Roxbury. He was probably a sea- faring man, as the family tradition states that he was drowned in Boston Harbor. No record appears of his marriage, but the fam- ily history states that he had sons Ichabod and Joseph, who went with their widowed mother to Sidney, Maine. The mother died at Brownville, Maine, June 24, 1823, aged ninety-five years nine months.
(VII) Ichabod, elder son of Joseph (2) Thomas, was born in 1758-59, probably in Roxbury, and lived for some time in Sidney, whence he removed to Katahdin Iron Works, Maine, about 1815, and three years later re- moved to Brownville, where he died Febru- ary 25, 1845. He served one year as a soldier in the revolutionary war, in the vicinity of Wiscassett, and was a farmer by occupation. While residing in Sidney he served as repre- sentative to the general court of Massachu- setts, making the journey on horseback to Boston to attend its sessions. While living in Brownville he served as justice of the peace. He married Mehitable Crosby, lineal descend- ant of the famous Winslow family of Massa- chusetts. She was probably born at . Sidney about 1767, and died at Brownville, April 26, 1842, aged seventy-four years. Children, probably all born in Sidney: I. John, see forward. 2. Jonah, probably went with his

father to Katahdin Iron Works and Brown- ville. 3. Joseph. resided at Brownville, where he died at the age of forty-six years. 4. El- len, married Otis Barton, of Brownville. 5. Mary C., married George Wilkins, of Brown- ville. 6. Susanna, became wife of Rev. Na- than W. Sheldon, of Brownville. 7. Louisa, married Gilman Ryder, of the same town.
(VIII) John, eldest child of Ichabod and Mehitable (Crosby) Thomas, was born in September, 1794, at Sidney, and died in Brownville, April 30, 1863. He was drafted as a soldier in the war of 1812, and served three years. On settling down at Brownville he became a lumber scaler and farmer, served as selectman, and was an active citizen. He married, about 1816, Sarah Davis, of Fair- field, Maine, born about 1793, died at Brown- ville, January 8. 1866. Children, all born at Brownville: I. Stephen C., died one year old. 2. Emily, born August, 1821, died in her twenty-sixth year. 3. Eber Davis, died in California, at the age of twenty-seven years ; his only son, Eber Davis, resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 4. Mary, born about 1825, married David Griffith, of Brownville. 5. Stephen Alfred, is mentioned below. 6. Cyn- thia Davis, July 19, 1832, died at Grand Rap- ids, Michigan, 1887. 7. John Baker, died at Brownville in 1864, at the age of twenty-six years. He enlisted September 14, 1861, and returned in August, 1864, having served in Company L, First Maine Cavalry. He par- ticipated in the battle of Antietam; was in General Sheridan's army, and with General Reynolds, and carried the headquarters flag.
(IX) Stephen Alfred, third son of John and Sarah (Davis) Thomas, was born August 24, 1827, at Brownville. He was a farmer, a Republican in politics, and filled the office of town collector, besides other official stations.
