SPEAR John and Katrin Spear, with their son, Robert, came from Londonderry, in the north of Ire- land, soon after the siege of that capital and seaport town in 1689. Ireland had been the battleground of the last and most severe strug- gle between the Protestants, championed by William the Prince of Orange, King William III, and the fallen Roman Catholic King, James II, who as a last resort had placed the government of Ireland entirely in Catholic hands with the exception of Londonderry and Enniskillen, whose walls sheltered the rem- nant of Englishmen and Scotch Protestants, seven thousand strong, who had declared for
William and Mary and decided to meet their fate like brave men inside the walls of these strong towns. James II, with one-half of the disorderly army of the Earl of Tyrconnel, fifty thousand strong, armed chiefly with clubs, laid siege to Londonderry and the siege lasted one hundred and five days. Multitudes of the besieged died of hunger, but the living continued the cry of "No surrender." Re- duced to two days' rations, hope had almost fled when an English ship broke through the boom stretched across the river Foyle and brought relief to the heroic garrison and starv- ing inhabitants. This was July 28, 1689, and whereupon the Irish army under James II raised the siege and retreated to Dublin, where the fallen Stuart King lay helpless in the hands of the frenzied Catholics.
(I) John Spear, his wife, Katrin, and their son Robert, probably the youngest of their children, settled in Woburn, the others settling elsewhere; two it is presumed went to Vir- ginia and one to Cape Cod. The father and mother continued to live in Woburn during the remainder of their lives, the mother dying November 30, 1775, when she was ninety-six years of age, and had been a widow many years.
(II) Robert, probably youngest son of John and Katrin Spear, was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in September, 1714. He came to Wo- burn, Massachusetts Bay Colony, with his parents, and lived there up to 1736, when he joined the company of Scotch Presby- terians who had decided to form a settlement on the St. George's river on the coast of Maine, which became the town of Warren, November 7, 1776, but was then only a trad- ing post belonging to the Waldo patent. The two children of Robert and Margaret (Mc- Lean) Turk Spear were Captain John (q. v.), and Catherine, who married Robert Matthews and settled in Warren, Maine. John McLean, grandfather of these children, was one of the first settlers on the St. George river, in 1735. Robert Spear died in Woburn, Massachusetts, March 13. 1776.
(III) Captain John (2), eldest child of Robert and Margaret (McLean) Turk Spear, was born in the Upper Town of St. George in 1738. He married Agnes Lamb, and their children were: I. Robert, born October 26, 1762; married Jane Young, of Cushing, Maine; resided in Warren, and died there September 19, 1852. 2. Thomas, July 2, 1765 (q. v.). 3.

He married, September 12, 1830, Nancy Cushman, a descendant from the Robert Cushman of Plymouth Colony, and he built a house on part of the home lot in Warren. He died September 28, 1870.

(VI) Ellis, eldest son of James M. and Nancy (Cushman) Spear, was born in War- ren, Maine, October 15, 1834. He was brought up on a New England farm, with its abun- dance of fresh air and hard work, and thus laid a foundation for an iron constitution that stood well by him in the strenuous life that he led in his country's service both military and civil. His ancestors had been equally hardy farmers, lumbermen, shipbuilders and mariners. His six days hard work and at- tendance at the kirk and Sunday school on the Lord's day fully carried out the interpre- tation of the Scotch Presbyterian catechism when it asks the question: "What is the chief end of man?" the accepted answer being : "To work hard six days in the week and go to church on Sunday," which to their devout minds covered the answer, printed in the catechism: "To glorify God and enjoy Him forever." His inherited sound constitution, fortified by his boyhood out-door work six days in the week, made it possible to study by candlelight each day, and this self-instruction, augmented by the imperfect school training furnished by the efforts of the underpaid teachers of the waning days of the imperfectly endowed old State Academy at Warren, pre- pared him for matriculation at Bowdoin Col- lege. He was graduated with honor at Bow- doin in 1858, and in order to pay back the

money advanced by his father and friends he taught school continuously 1858-62. The civil war appealed to his patriotic spirit and as soon as his debt for college privileges had been paid he raised a company of volunteers in the town where he was teaching, and en- tered the volunteer service in 1862 as captain of Company G, Twentieth Maine Volunteer Infantry, and served in the field about three years, rising by successive promotions to the rank of colonel and brigadier-general by bre- vet. He commanded the regiment the greater part of the time from September, 1863, to the close of the war, temporarily serving also in 1864 and 1865 in command of the brigade to which his regiment was assigned. He was brevetted in October, 1864, for "gallant and distinguished service" while in command of the brigade at the battle of the Peebles Farm, September 30, 1864, and twice subsequently, and was commended in official reports for efficient services at the battle of Five Forks, April 12, 1865. At the close of the war he entered the United States Patent Office as a clerk, assigned to duty as assistant examiner. He was promoted successively to the grades of second and first assistant, and in 1869 was made principal examiner. He was appointed by President Grant examiner-in-chief, in 1872, and assistant commissioner of patents in 1874. He resigned that office in 1876, and became a member of the law firm of Hill, Ellsworth & Spear, but a few months later was appointed by the same authority commissioner of patents, which office he resigned in 1878 and entered upon the practice of his profession, making a specialty of patent law. He was admitted to the bar of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, and has lived in Washington forty years. He has been interested in the affairs of the District, has been a director of the Board of Trade many years; served as trus- tee of the public schools; was many years president of the Society of the Mount Pleas- ant Congregational Church, has been comman- der of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the District of Columbia, president of the Maine State Association, and president of the Patent Law Association of the District of Columbia. He served as chairman of the com- mittee of parade of the G. A. R. Encampment of 1893, and chairman of the committee on medals and badges in the first and second in- augurations of President Mckinley. He is vice-president of the Equitable Co-operative Building Association, and vice-president of the Washington Loan and Trust Association.
