who was the mother of: Zachariah, Moses, Hannah, Zeruiah, Sarah, Ebenezer and Mercy. "Zeruiah," second daughter of Ebenezer and Hannah (Sturtevant) Standish, became the wife of Andrew Ring (2), as above noted. She was born January 8, 1706, and died April 26, 1778. After the death of Mr. Ring she married (second), December 19, 1745, Andrew Gray, treasurer and selectman of North Yar- mouth.


(V) Eleazer (2), fourth child and second son of Andrew (2) and Zeruiah (Standish) Ring, born in North Yarmouth, May 7, 1740, died October 22, 1821. He succeeded to the ownership of Lot 9, North Yarmouth, which his father bought of Robert Johnson when he made settlement in 1729, and was engaged in agriculture. He married (first) February 21, 1767, Olive Mitchell, born in 1750, died Oc- tober 18, 1773. He married (second) Mary Sweetser, born in 1751, died January 2, 1839. The children of first wife were: Andrew, Jo- nathan and Hannah. Those of second wife were : Eleazer, Reuben, Olive M., Mary, Bet- sey, John, Zeruiah Standish and Martin.

RICHARDS One family of Richards, par- ticularly numerous and prominent in Maine, is de- scended from John Richards, second, who was doubtless the brother of Humphrey Rich- ards, of Boston.


(I) John Richards appears first at New- bury, Massachusetts, in 1694, when he is said to have been located on Plumb Island. He did not remain many years at Newbury, but after 1703 probably followed others from that place to the Piscataqua river country, and finally settled about nine miles west of Dover, New Hampshire, on the present road to Roch- ester. There he or his sons erected a sub- stantial garrison house, which stood until about 1800. The trace of it may be ascer-


tained about one mile east of the village of Rochester, and marks a spot rendered classical, not only by the tragedy enacted there, but from its being the cradle of a numerous race. There he and his second wife are supposed to have died, but no record or headstone informs us how or when. He married (first), March 22, 1694, Hannah Goodridge, who died Jan- uary 29, 1695. He married (second), July 16, 1696, Sarah Cheney. His nine children, all by the second wife, were: Sarah (died young), Melitable, Benjamin, Sarah, Joseph, James, John, and a son.


(II) James, third son of John and Sarah (Cheney) Richards, was probably born at Piscataqua, New Hampshire, about 1709, and died at Camden, Maine, in 1789. He lived in Dover until about 1774, when he removed to Camden, where his son James, as the first set- tler in the place, had located in 1769. He married, in Dover, Sarah Foss, by whom he had Sarah, James, Dodipher and Joseph.


(III) Dodipher, second son of James and Sarah (Foss) Richards, born Piscataqua, New Hampshire, died Lincolnville, Maine, aged eighty years. In 1769 Dodipher and Joseph joined their brother James in the wilderness at Camden, which was still the resort of In- dians, and there they built themselves log houses. These three Richards brothers were the progenitors of nearly all the numerous population of that name now living in Knox and Waldo counties. They possessed the sturdy qualities which make men successful pioneers and transmitted those qualities to their descendants. The three Richards broth- ers owned lands adjoining and those of Joseph and Dodipher covered what is now the business center of Camden Village. In 1771 Major William Minot, of Boston, purchased land and water power at Goose Harbor and soon after- ward erected a grist mill and sawmill near the mouth of Megunticook river. Before that time the settlers had to carry their corn upon their backs to Warren through the woods, guided in their path by spotted trees. At this time, says the History of Camden, Dodipher Richards started for Warren to carry some corn to grind, accompanied by his little dog only. As night approached he arrived at a house or cabin, and requested the privilege of lodging there until morning. The mistress of the house being alone, her husband being ab- sent, felt distrustful of the stranger, and re- fused his request ; so, pursuing his path, he plodded on until nine o'clock, when he heard in the distance the howling of wolves. Seek- ing out a large tree, he selected a club and,


564

placing his back against the tree, awaited their approach. They were soon on the scent of his track, and as they came nearer their howls became louder and louder, until the pack of about thirty approached the spot where he stood. As they jumped toward him, he struck at them with his club, when they would retreat, and his dog would spring out at them and back, when they would rush at him in re- turn. The hidcous howls of others approach- ing, responding to those near him, could be heard as they came bounding through the woods, while their cry would be heard and returned by other packs in the distance, which were following the sound of those in advance. By midnight as many as one hundred of these furious but cowardly beasts surrounded him, snapping at him with their teeth; but fearful to get within reach of the blows of the stal- wart pioneer, they kept at a safe distance. Mr. Richards at one time being hard pressed, thinking it might pacify them, threw his dog toward them, but they shrank from it, and the little animal ran back and crouched at its master's feet. Not having the heart to re- peat the experiment, the stalwart settler fought the wolves with his club till dawn, when one by one they slunk away and left him to con- tinne his journey in safety. After getting his meal he returned to his cabin none the worse for his disagreeable experience, but in relating the incident afterward to his friends he said : "I should rather have been at home in my log hut than out in the woods fighting them cussed varmints."


(IV) Dodipher (2), son of Dodipher (I) Richards, was born in 1782, at Camden, and died at Searsmont in 1868, aged eighty-six. He was a farmer and served in the war of 1812. He married ; they had six children : Oliver, John, Thomas, Dodipher, George W., Rufus and Mary Ann.


(V) Thomas, son of Dodipher (2) Rich- ards, born Waldo county, about 1804, died 1884, aged eighty years. He was a farmer. He married Charlotte House, born Boston, 1806, died Searsmont, 1893, aged eighty-seven. They had William Learmond, Charles D., Thomas J., George W., Mary, Abner H. and John F.


(VI) Charles Dodipher, second son of Thomas and Charlotte ( House) Richards, was born in Searsmont, August 2, 1832. He was a farmer, then a merchant at Searsmont until 1867, and finally became a contractor and builder and followed that business at Portland until 1890. In politics he was a Democrat. He married, 1853, Mary Jane Cook, born St.


George, 1838, only child of Enoch Cook, of St. George, Maine, a sea captain, and his wife, whose maiden name was Sarah Andrews. The children of this union were: Enoch C .; Ida, married Thomas Egan ; Samuel, married Win- ifred Richards : Charles, married Susan Rich- ards; Edward; and Ella, wife of William Davis.


(VII) Enoch Cook, eldest child of Charles D. and Mary J. (Cook) Richards, was born in Searsmont, January 15, 1854. He was edu- cated in the public schools of Searsmont and Lincolnville. From 1871 to 1874 he served an apprenticeship at the trade of machinist in the employ of Davis & Furber, of North Andover, Massachusetts; worked at the car- penter trade from 1875 to 1878; was on the road selling goods for himself part of the years 1878-79 ; was engaged at carpenter work in Portland and Rockland until 1885, when he engaged in business as a general contractor in Milford, Massachusetts, remaining until September, 1887, when he removed to Port- land, where he has since resided, and where he has engaged in building good residences which he sold after completing them. He built for himself a beautiful home on the East- ern Promenade overlooking the sea, which he occupied until 1908. In that year he finished the "Los Angeles," a structure at 419 Cum- berland avenue, containing thirty apartments of from two to four rooms each, and supplied with every convenience, making it in many ways one of the most desirable places of resi- dence in Portland. Since completing the "Los Angeles" he has entered upon the construction of another building of twelve four-room flats, situated at 23 to 29 Grant street. In politics he is an Independent. He was made a Mason in Kilwinning Lodge, Free and Accepted Ma- sons, of Boston, and since that time has be- come a member of the following divisions of that order: Royal Arch Chapter; Council, Roval and Select Masters; Commandery, Knights Templar; and Massachusetts Consis- tory, Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret, in which he has attained the thirty-second degree.


Enoch C. Richards married, in Montreal, Canada, May 20, 1879, Kate M. Reardon, of Ottawa, Canada, who was born in Ottawa, June 13, 1856, fourth child of John and Mary (Hayes) Reardon. Their children are: I. Edward Homma, born May 22, 1880, died De- cember 20, 1900. 2. Blanche Louise, born October 10. 1883, married Fred W. Hinckley. 3. Grover Cleveland, born February 14, 1886. 4. Mildred Grace, born December 19, 1888. 5. Harold Scott, born January 1. 1891.

NASH In the early years of the colonies various men named Nash appeared in the scattered settlements. Greg- ory Nash was in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1630: Samuel was of Plymouth, perhaps in 1630, certainly in 1632: William was of Charlestown in 1634: Thomas was a resident of New Haven colony in 1643, or earlier. Others came not many years later. From these mentioned and others have sprung many families of Nash who trace themselves to no common ancestor. One hundred and seventy enlistments in the revolution are credited to men of this name in the Massachusetts Rolls. Nash is derived from atten Ash, that is, "At the Ash," denoting the place of residence of a person, as is the case with Atwood, Atwater, and the like.

GOUDY The family of Goudy has existed in Maine for nearly two cen- turies, as records show, but there is no evidence that it was represented in America in very early colonial times. Men of this name did good service in the revolu- tionary war, and later generations have main- tained a high reputation for industry and probity. The name is variously spelled in old records Gody, Goody, Gowdey.


(I) Amos Goudy, the first of the name of whom there is a record, lived in Old York, Maine, and moved from there and settled on tht eastern bank of the Damariscotta river opposite Pleasant Cove. He was the first of this name in Lincoln county. He was exten- sively engaged in fishing and lumbering and built and operated a sawmill long known as Goudy's Mill. He was drowned near his home and buried on the hillside on his farm. The name of his wife is thought to have been Mercy Clark. They had two sons, Amos and John, who survived the father. In the Lincoln probate records is the following "Amos Goudy or Goudey, late of Harrington, now Bristol, Mercy Goudy of Harrington, widow, adminis- tratrix, 21 May 1765," "Mercy, guardian to Bette, minor daughter, 18 Sept. 1765." In- ventory, 16 July, 1765, £420; 3; 4. Account filed 28 September 1765.


(II) Amos (2). son of Amos (1) and Mercy (Clark) Goudy, born in Bristol, Oc- tober, 1744, died June 22, 1824, aged eighty. "He was a man of much intelligence and firmness," was sheriff of Lincoln county in 1788, and probably before, and in the per- formance of his official duty hanged John O'Neil, who was convicted of murder, about 1788. This was the first execution in Lincoln county. Amos Goudy, of Bristol, was a mem-

ber of the committee of correspondence, in- spection and safety in 1776-79-81. "The Mas- sachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revo- lutionary War" contains this record: "Amos Gowdey, second lieutenant, Matross company, Col. James's (Third Lincoln county) regi- ment of Massachusetts Militia ; list of officers ; commissioned May 23, 1780." Amos Goudy married Sarah Clark, born in 1745, died in 1834, aged eighty-nine.


(III) Amos (3), son of Amos (2) and Sarah (Clark) Goudy, resided and died in Bristol, where he was engaged in farming. He married Rebecca Church, and they were the parents of sons: Albert, Alden and Ed- win, and daughters: Nancy Jane, Harriet, Diana and Almira.


(IV) Alden, second son of Amos (3) and Rebecca (Church) Goudy, born in Bristol, March 22, 1821, died in Westbrook, 1897. aged seventy-six years. He acquired his ed11- cation in the public schools and Lincoln Acad- emy, and in early manhood taught school. Subsequently he became a merchant and for a long time dealt in dry goods in Boothbay. He afterward became a commercial traveler for a Portland firm. Still later he lived in Thomaston and conducted a boot and shoe and gentleman's furnishing store for eleven years. He then removed to Westbrook, where he car- ried on the same kind of business until the end of his life. He was from the early days of the party a Republican, and while a resident of Boothbay was a member of the board of selectmen and also member of the legislature. He was a man of very upright character and a strong temperance man, having been a mem- ber of one of the first temperance organiza- tions ever formed in Maine. He married, in Woolwich, Maine, February 4, 1848, Augusta P. Soule, daughter of David F. and Elizabeth Soule (see Soule, VII). Children of this union were: 1. Lewis A., see forward. 2. and 3. Hattie and Lizzie, died young. 4. Frank, born in Boothbay, resides in New York, where he is engaged in business ; he married Nellie Pike, of Portland, by whom he has two chil- dren : John P. and Genevieve. 5. Harriet B., living in Portland, Maine. 6. Edward L., died at twelve years of age.


(V) Lewis Alden, eldest child of Alden and Augusta P. (Soule) Goudy, was born in Woolwich, Sagadahoc county, Maine, June 10, 1849. He attended the public schools of Boothbay and Bath, where he obtained a practical education. At the age of seventeen years he became an employee of the Maine Central railroad at Bath. At nineteen years


of age he went to Portland and became an accountant for the wholesale house of Wal- dron & True, and from 1869 to 1881 was con- fidential clerk for the same firm. In 1881 he became a partner with W. C. Cobb in the bis- cuit and general bakery business, and subse- quently added the manufacturing of confec- tionery, and conducted a business employing one hundred and fifty hands. In 1886 he took Edward W. Kent as a partner, and the busi- ness was carried on under the firmn name of Goudy & Kent. In September, 1892, the fac- tory was burned, and the next year it was re- built. Mr. Kent retired from the firm in 1891, and in 1893 the business was incorporated as Goudy & Kent, and so continued until the re- tirement of Mr. Goudy in 1898 and later it was sold to the National Biscuit Company. Mr. Goudy was later the president and gen- eral manager of the Northeastern ( Automat- ic) Telephone Company. The extension of its lines and the efficiency of its service attest the quality of Mr. Goudy's management of the business of the company. He is a man of much candor and energy, and a fellow towns- man of his recently remarked, "It is a pity there are not more like him." He has been connected with various enterprises for the pro- motion of the business interests of the city, and was for some time vice-president of the Board of Trade, and has always been a member of its important committees and always interested in its welfare. He was the original inspirer of the State Board of Trade. He has always been a Republican from the time of attaining his majority, but casts his vote independent of party affiliation. He served as a member of the city government of Portland 1899 to 1901, and took an active part in securing elec- tric lighting for the city, and the installation of the Automatic Secret Service System of Telephone which has been installed in some of the other cities in Maine. He was largely instrumental in securing the public ownership of the water supply of Portland after one of the most sharply contested campaigns in the history of the city. He is president of the Northeastern Concrete Paving and Construc- tion Company of Portland. He was for a time an overseer of the poor, and before the war with Spain was active in sending supplies to the suffering reconcentrados in Cuba. He is a member of Ancient Landmark Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, Mount Vernon Royal Arch Chapter, Portland Council, Royal and Select Masters, and Portland Command- ery, Knights Templar. Also a member of Beacon Lodge, Independent Order of Odd
