Mr. Goudy married, in Portland, February 5. 1873, Annie J. Ayers, born in Portland, September 23, 1852, daughter of Joseph and Harriet ( Beal ) Ayers, of Portland. Mrs. Goudy, her mother, and her daughters have all won reputations as cultured vocalists and musicians. The children of this union are : Annie Louise, married George Megrew, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and has daughter, Jane Shelley, and son Alden Frick ; Isabel Au- gusta, married George W. Merrow, of Bethel, Maine. Ellen Chase. Alice Dinsdale.
The Soules of this article, and, in SOULE fact, of this country, with a few exceptions, are descendants of George Soule, one of the "Mayflower" Pil- grims, and thirty-fifth signer of that famous and influential compact. The name is Eng- lish, and is early spelled Sole, Soal, Soul ; and Soule seems to be of late adoption. There is no known connection of this family with the French family of Soulé, a name of two sylla- bles, the e being accented.
(I) George Soule came to Massachusetts in the "Mayflower" in 1620, under the protection of Edward Winslow. He landed at Plymouth, December 21, same year. He signed the fa- mous Cape Cod compact in November, 1620, had a grant of one acre. and next a lot "at the watering place," and in 1633 he became a freeman of the colony. In 1633-34 he was taxed independent of Winslow, his tax in the former year being nine shillings. In 1638 he lived north of Eel river bridge, relinquished his land there to Constant and Thomas South- worth, and removed to Duxbury and settled at Powder Point. The next year he sold his first acre grant to Robert Hicks. He was an original proprietor of Bridgewater in 1645. and sold his right to Nicholas Bygrave: and in 1652 he was among the purchasers of Dartmouth, and also of Middleboro. He was a man of high character and had the confi- dence of his townsmen. He was representa- tive in the general court. 1642-45-46-50-51-53- 54. He died in 1680, very aged. He married, about 1623, Mary Becket, or Bucket, who
came as one of the passengers in the "Ann" and her consorts of 1621, in company with Barbara Standish and Patience and Fear Brewster. She died in 1677. The children of this union were: George, Zechariah, John, Nathaniel, Benjamin, Patience, Elizabeth and Mary, all born before 1650, but the order of births unknown.
( II) John, son of George and Mary (Becket) Soule, born in 1632, died in 1707, aged seventy-five, resided in Duxbury. At the time his father made his will, John was the eldest child. He was made the chief heir. The portion of the will referring to this mat- ter runs as follows : "And for as much as my eldest son, John Soule, and his family hath in my extreme old age and weakness bin tender and careful of mee and very healpful to mee ; and is likely for to be while it shall please God to continew my life heer, therefore I give and bequeath unto my said son, John Soule, all the remainder of my housing and lands whatever." John Soule was freeman, 1653. During the excitement against the Quakers he was fined, October 2, 1660, for attending their meetings. He was surveyor of highways, 1672, 1694; grand juryman, 1675-77-78-83-84: arbitrator between Marsh- field and Duxbury, and Plymouth and Dux- bury, 1698, involving land disputes ; witness to the Indian deed of Bridgewater, dated De- cember 23. 1686, and joined in a remonstrance, 1687, against increasing the salary of Rev. Ichabod Wiswell. He married Esther, proba- bly a daughter of Philip Dela Noye, who died September 12, 1733, aged ninety-five. Their children were: John, Joseph, Joshua, Josiah, Benjamin and two daughters.
(III) Joshua, third son of John and Esther Soule, born in Duxbury, October 12, 1681, died May 29, 1767, aged eighty-five. He re- sided in Duxbury. He married Joanna Stud- ley, and they had children : Zermiah, John, Ezekiel, Joshua, Abigail. Joanna, Sarah, Jo- seph, Nathan, and probably Lydia.
(IV) Ezekiel, third child of Joshua and Joanna (Studley) Soule, was born in Dux- bury, February 17, 1711. He married Jan- uary 7, 1733, Hannah Delano, who died Sep- tember 25. 1768, aged fifty years. Their chil- dren were: William, Lucy, Lydia, Amasa, Hannah, John and Deborah. March 15, 1749, Ezekiel Soule was chosen deacon of the church in Duxbury. He removed to Woolwich in 1766.
(V) John (2), son of Ezekiel and Hannah (Delano) Soule, was born in Duxbury.

(VII) David F., son of Samuel and Joanna ( Farnham) Soule, married Elizabeth Mc- Murchie, who was born in 1789.
(VIII) Augusta Parker, daughter of David F. and Elizabeth ( McMurchie) Soule, born April 21, 1831, married Alden Goudy, of Bristol, Maine. (See Goudy IV.)
BOLSTER The records of the first cen- tury of New England contain no mention of this name, but early in the eighteenth century mention of the name of Bolster is found in the records of the town of Uxbridge and Worcester county, Massachusetts, where the family first resided. They are said to have come from England. A dozen enlistments of Bolsters are found in the Massachusetts Revolutionary War rolls, and nearly all are credited to towns in Worces- ter county.
(1) Isaac Bolster appears, from the meagre records of the time. to have been the immi- grant ancestor of the family of this sketch. He, with his wife, Abigail, was in Uxbridge in 1732. He died April 28, 1753. After the death of his first wife he married ( second) Hepsibah, who died July 20, 1742. The chil- dren of first wife were: John and Mary. Those of second wife were: William, Isaac and Betty.
(II) Captain Isaac (2), second son and child of Isaac ( 1) and Hepsibah Bolster, was born in Uxbridge, April 28, 1737. He and his brother William were able-bodied young men, full of military spirit, and served as privates in the French and Indian war at various times between 1755 and 1761. In 1775 they were ardent patriots, and entered the army at the beginning of the revolution as seasoned soldiers. Isaac was one of the men who marched to Concord, April 19, 1775, serving as lieutenant in Captain John Putnam's company and Colonel Ebenezer Learned's regiment ; later he was commis- sioned captain. The Massachusetts Revolu- tionary Rolls state that Isaac Bolster, of Sut- ton, was a lieutenant in Captain Andrew Eliot's company, Colonel Learned's regiment, which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775 ; service eight days; reported enlisted into the army; also captain. Colonel Ebenezer Learned's ( Worcester county ) regiment ; list of officers; commissioned May (year not given) ; also, list of officers in camp at Rox- bury dated May 19. 1775; also, returns of officers for rations dated June 5, -, July 29,
1775 ; also, muster-roll dated August 1, 1775; enlisted April 27, 1775; service, three months, twelve days : also, company return dated Rox- bury, October 7, 1775. He was among the early settlers of Hebron, Maine, and in May, 1784, moved to Paris, where he afterwards resided. The old farm he occupied in the southern part of the town has since been divided and is now the property of various owners. He died April 27, 1825, aged just eighty-eight years. He was a leading citizen, was frequently appointed on public committees and was a useful citizen. He is mentioned as "Gentleman." Ile married, July 24, 1761, Mary Dwinnell, or Dwinall, who died August 4, 1814. Their children were: Hepsibalı, Abraham, Isaac, David and Solomon.
(III) Captain Isaac (3), son of Captain Isaac (2) and Mary (Dwinnell) Bolster, born Sutton, May 12. 1769, died July 8, 1835. He settled on a farm which he occupied through- out his life, and was afterward occupied by his son, Gideon. Mr. Bolster, from whom the present village of "Bolster's Mills" took its name, purchased property of the Gilsons on Crooked river, and built a dam and sawmill in 1819 and a gristmill in 1820. The business was carried on mainly by his sons. He mar- ried, March 9, 1754. Hannah, daughter of Gideon and Ruth (Shaw) Cushman. She was born April 16, 1777. Their children were : Alvan, Isaac, Gideon, Otis C., William, Han- nah, Lyman, Louisa, Levi and Ruth.
(IV) Otis Cushman, fourth son and child of Captain Isaac (3) and Hannah ( Cushman ) Bolster, born Paris, Maine, September 25, 1801, died November 9, 1871. When a lad of fifteen years of age he left home and went to work for his uncle, Francis Cushman, at Rumford. His outfit consisted of a shirt and, a pair of stockings. He remained with him until he was twenty-one years old, and soon after went into business for himself. By ac- cident, his store was blown up by an explo- sion of gunpowder, November 1, 1836, and his eldest child, a boy of eight years, was killed. He and another boy, probably at- tempting to light some grains of gunpowder on the powder-kcg, in the absence of Mr. Bolster, October 23, 1852, his buildings were set on fire and destroyed. He moved to South Paris in March, 1855, and purchased the old brick store, and went into trade, in which he continued till his decease. He was esteemed for his genial traits of character and strict integrity. He married, October 28, 1807, Dolly B. Keyes, born Rumford, November 10, 1806, died August 15. 1840, daughter of

Francis and Molly ( Bean) Keyes, of Rum- ford (See Keyes VII). Their children were: Horatio A., Henrietta L., Mellen E., Free- land K. Mr. Bolster married (second), May 14, 1841, Maria C. L. Virgin, of Rumford, born April 13. 1814, died 1840, daughter of Peter C. Virgin, of Rumford. The children of this marriage were: William Henry, Dolly M., Norris Dayton, Sarah V. and Marietta.
(V) Mellen Eugene, third child and second son of Otis C. and Dolly B. (Keyes) Bolster, was born at Rumford Point, September 19, 1847. He received his education in the pub- lic schools and at Norway Academy, and then became a clerk in his father's store. He was employed in that capacity until his father re- tired, and he became the proprietor of the business, which he carried on until 1865. He then removed to Portland, and was clerk for Twitchell Brothers & Champlin. His stay with this firm continued until 1869, and then he became a member of the firm of Locke, Meserve & Company, dealers in dry goods. In 1871 this firm was changed, and became Locke, Twitchell & Company. From 1880 to 1884 he was a member of the firm of Storer Brothers & Company. In the latter year Mr. Bolster, Charles Sargent, E. P. Staples, N. D. Smith and F. W. Roberts formed the firm of Bolster, Sargent & Company, and en- gaged in the wholesale dry-goods and gentle- men's furnishing business. In 1887 Mr. Sar- gent retired, and was succeeded by Lucien Snow, and the firm name was changed to Bolster, Snow & Company. This concern was in business twenty years, till June 15. 1907, when it sold out to the Parker & Thomas Company, and Mr. Bolster withdrew from active business, and now lives retired, in the enjoyment of a well-earned competency. Mr. Bolster is a member of no club or fraternal society. In politics he has been a Republican since that party was formed. He worships with the Congregationalists.

KEYES The Keyes family of this sketch is descended from the earliest settler of the name known in New England. The men of this lineage have possessed the military spirit and won honor in various wars from early times. The name is spelled in many ways on the Massachu- setts Revolutionary Rolls, where about fifty enlistments under the name Keyes and about the same number under Keys are recorded.
(I) Robert Keyes settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, in the year 1633, or before. There is no record of him before that time. The earliest written mention of him is in the record of the birth of his eldest daughter. He appears from the records to have been in Watertown in 1633, if not earlier; to have removed to Newbury between 1643 and 1645, and to Sudbury during the latter year, and died in 1647. His death is recorded in Water- town, Newbury, Plymouth and Sudbury. The Watertown record recites: "Robert removed to Sudbury, Massachusetts, June 16, 1645, where he died 1647." Another record makes his death occur July 16, 1647. His widow, Sarah, was married to John Gage in 1658, or, according to the Plymouth record, November, 1664. The children of Robert and Sarah Keyes were: Sarah, Peter, Rebecca, Phebe, Mary, Elias and Mary.
(II) Elias, sixth child and second son of Robert and Sarah Keyes, was born May 20, 1643. and resided in Sudbury. He married, September 11, 1665, Sarah, daughter of John Blanford, or Blanchard. Their children, all born in Sudbury, were: Elias, John, James, Sarah and Thomas, the subject of the next paragraph.
(III) Deacon Thomas, fifth and youngest child of Elias and Sarah ( Blanford, or Blan- chard) Keyes, born Sudbury, February 8, 1674, died Marlboro, August 25, 1742, aged sixty-eight. After his marriage he settled on a new farm in the eastern part of Marlboro, where he and his wife spent the remainder of their lives. He was a man of influence in public affairs and a deacon in the church. He married, in 1695, Elizabeth, daughter of John Howe and granddaughter of John and Mary Howe, the first white settlers of the town of Marlboro. She was the sister of Mrs. Peter

Josslyn, of Lancaster, and in 1692, when a young girl, while visiting her sister, was taken captive by Indians and carried to Canada. She remained there four years, when she was re- deemed by government, returned home, and married Thomas Keyes, to whom she was en- gaged before her captivity. It was sixteen years earlier that the town was attacked by fifteen hundred Indians and destroyed, and numbers carried into captivity. But Lancas- ter was for many years a frontier town, and it was probably during some raid of less his- torical moment that her capture occurred. She died August 18, 1764. Their children were: David, Jonathan, Cypron, Dinah and Thomas.
(IV) Deacon Jonathan, second son and child of Deacon Thomas and Elizabeth (Howe) Keyes, was born in Marlboro, No- vember 19, 1702. He settled in Shrewsbury, and was a prominent citizen and deacon in the . North parish. He died suddenly at Shrews- bury of apoplexy, June 25, 1778, aged seventy- six. He married, in 1727, Patience Morse, of Marlboro, and they had eleven children : Jonathan, Miriam (died young), Dinah (died young), Timothy, Miriam, Thomas, Benja- min, Asa, Catherine (died young) and Dinah (twins), and Catherine.
(V) Jonathan (2), eldest child of Deacon Jonathan (1) and Patience ( Morse) Keyes, born Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, January 21, 1728, died Rumford, Maine, November 9, 1786. That Jonathan Keyes was the first white man to make his home in Rumford and move his family there has never been disputed. Hunters may have camped there previously, but they came not to make them a home. He purchased land in Sudbury, Canada, now Bethel, Maine, in 1772, and again in 1774. He spent some years in Bethel before he settled in Rumford, but just how many the records do not show. A deed recorded in the Cum- berland records recites that March 14, 1777, Jonathan Keyes, of Sudbury-Canada, sold to Samuel Ingalls, of Fryeburg, four hundred acres, or four lots of land, situated and being on the south side of Androscoggin river, in a place called Sudbury-Canada. The deed fur- ther states that upon one of the lots Mr. Keves had made considerable improvement, had built a house, a barn for grain, and an- other for English hay. January 3 preceding, Mr. Keves had purchased of Dr. Ebenezer Harnden Goss two full rights in the township of New Pennacook. That Mlr. Keyes re- moved his family to Bethel is not probable. Two of his sons, Ebenezer and Francis, were
there with him, and it is stated on good au- thority that Mr. Keyes returned to Shrews- bury one fall and left his two sons in care of his camp, and that, for some reason not men- tioned, he did not return until spring. Ebe- nezer was about fourteen years old and Fran- cis nine, and they remained in this then re- mote region all through the long and inclement winter with no companionship save that of the Indians. A paper in the handwriting of the late Francis Keves, of Rumford, states, among other things: "In 1777 my father, Jonathan Keyes, of Shrewsbury, purchased four rights of land in this town, and on the tenth of March, 1777, set out with myself and my mother and came to New Gloucester. From there my father and I came to this town in the August following, and began a settlement where I now live, the first settlement made in this town. After bringing the farm forward so far as to stipport a small family, my father moved my mother, the 29th day of October, 1779. In 1781 three other persons began ma- king settlements in this town, and on the third of August of that year a small scouting-party of Indians from Canada, with one who before that time lived in these parts, commenced plundering on Sunday River Plantation and Sudbury-Canada, and took some prisoners and killed two men in Peabody's Patent. Not considering it safe to continue here, we moved off on the sixth of the same month, and did not return until the spring of 1783, and be- gan our settlement anew." While the family was left in the border settlement, Mr. Keyes was preparing a home for them in the wilder- ness, and in 1783 he returned to his clearing, and his was doubtless the only family that up to that time had ever lived within the limits of the town. In the "History of Rumford," by William B. Lapham, is found the follow- ing: "When Jonathan Keyes first came to Rumford the place was sometimes visited by roving Indians, and as they came from Canada and the war for independence was in progress, they sometimes appeared in war-paint, though they never made any very hostile demonstra- tions towards his family. One time, when Jonathan Keyes was absent from home, his son Francis saw several painted Indians ap- proaching the house, and ran and told his mother. Mrs. Keyes was a very large woman. and as fearless as she was large. She told Francis to step into the house and stay there. She then went out and confronted the head Indian, one Tomhegan, with whom she was acquainted, and asked him whether they were for peace. 'Then,' said she, 'hand me your

guns.' They obeyed; and, having received them, she gave them bread and maple-sugar to eat. After they had caten they took their guns and passed along. Keyes came home at night, and, not liking the aspect of things, took his family and started for New Glouces- ter, where they arrived in safety. This was about the time of the Indian raid into Bethel. These Indians had been to Livermore to at- tack the settlement there, but finding it too strong, they left without making any demon- stration." Jonathan Keyes's farm was the best in the town, was situated below Rumford Corner, and is now known as the Timothy Walker farm. Jonathan Keyes died in Rum- ford, November 9. 1786; his death was per- haps the first in the plantation. There is no record of a previous one. He and his wife were buried on his farm, where no monument marks his last resting-place. He married, January 23, 1752, Sarah Taylor, daughter of Ebenezer Taylor. Their children were: Solo- mon, Dinah, Sarah, Thomas, Ebenezer, Salma and Francis, whose sketch follows.
(VI) Francis, seventh and youngest child of Jonathan (2) and Sarah (Taylor ) Keyes, born Shrewsbury, Alassachusetts, October 13, 1765, died Rumford, Maine, August 16, 1832. He went with his father to Sudbury-Canada, now Bethel, when he was nine years old. As stated above. he and his brother Ebenezer spent one winter in Bethel alone among the Indians. He lived on the homestead of his father in Rumford, whither they removed when Francis was twelve years old. His means of education were limited, but he im- proved them to the best advantage, and when the town was incorporated he was chosen to be clerk, as he had been of the plantation. He was surveyor, a justice of the peace and conveyancer. Many of the early deeds of Rumford lands were written by him. He also held the minor office of fence-viewer, field- driver, surveyor of highways, member of the school committee, and "In 1806," says the record, "Francis Keyes was again elected chairman of the board of selectmen, but de- clined to serve. Ile was reelected clerk." "At the meeting in 1807 Francis Keyes was again elected clerk and chairman of the selectmen." In 1811 he was again chosen clerk. In 1798 Francis Keyes paid a direct tax to the general government on thirteen hundred acres of land. valued at $1,450. He married Dolly Bean, born Bethel, May 14, 1773, died February, 1834. She was the el lest child of Josiah and Molly ( Crocker) Bean. Their children were :
Sally, Polly, Jonathan, Josiah, Lydia, Win- throp S., Dolly B., Francis and Hannah.
(VII) Dolly B., seventh child and fourth daughter of Francis and Dolly (Bean) Keyes, born November 10, 1806, died August 15, 1840. She married Otis C. Bolster (See Bol- ster IV).
CRAM The name of Cram is probably derived from the German "Kramı," meaning a retail shop. The pat- ronymic is rather unusual in the United States, and the earlier generations seem confined al- most entirely to the neighborhood of New Hampshire, where families of the name are found in the towns of Hampton, Francestown, Raymond, Weare, Wilton, Antrim, Notting- ham, Hancock, Acworth and Washington. Without doubt, they are all descended from a common ancestor, John Cram, who came to Exeter in 1639.
(I) John Cram, the first American ancestor, emigrated from England, and in 1639 was one of the early settlers of Exeter, New Hampshire, which town had been founded the year before. In the combination formed for the early government of the town, his name appears as Crame. When he came to Exeter, his signature, like that of so many men of the time, was simply a mark, but he afterward learned to write. In 1648-49 he was elected townsman, or what was afterward known as selectman. About 1650 he left Exeter and located at Hampton, settling on the south side of Taylor's river, which became Hamp- ton Falls, his house being near the site of the Weare monument. With his wife, Esther, he became a member of the First Church of Hampton. John and Esther Cram had five children: 1. Joseph, drowned June 24, 1648, aged about fifteen years. 2. Benjamin, mar- ried Argentine Cromwell. 3. Thomas, men- tioned below. 4. Mary, married Abraham Tilton, January 25, 1666. 5. Lydia, born July 27, 1648. Argentine Cromwell, whom Benja- min Cram married, November 29, 1662, was said to have been a relative of Oliver Crom- well, Lord Protector of England. Many of their descendants settled in Raymond, New Hampshire, and one of them was Rev. Jacob Cram, who was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1782, and was for a time pastor of the Congregational church in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. The record of the death of the original settler in the town book of Hampton reads: "Died 5 of March, 1681, good old John Cram, one just in his genera-

tion." His wife, Esther Cram, died May 16, 1677.
( II) Thomas, third son of John and Esther Cram, was born probably after 1650, at Hamp- ton Falls, New Hampshire. On December 20, 1681, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel Weare. Four children are recorded : I. Mary, perhaps the one who married Ebe- nezer Knowlton. 2. John, born January 12, 1686. 3. Thomas, mentioned below. 4. Elizabeth, born October 15, 1702.
(III) Thomas (2), second son and third child of Thomas ( I) and Elizabeth ( Weare) Cram, was born November 9, 1696, probably at Hampton Falls. He lived in that town, where he was captain of the militia. Captain Thomas Cram married Mary Colman, of the neighboring town of Kingston, and among their children was Jededialı.
(I\') Jedediah, son of Captain Thomas (2) and Mary ( Colman) Cram, was born at Hamp- ton Falls in 1738. He lived in different towns in that state, first in Weare, but later in Francestown, where he died. He signed the association test in Weare in 1776, and he was on the tax-list of that town from 1788 to 1793. He married Abigail Hooke, who died in 1814, aged seventy years. Their children were: I. Sarah, born February 6, 1761, married Moses Sargent, and died in Warren, Vermont. 2. Anna, September 3, 1763, married James Steele, and died at East Roxbury, Vermont. 3. Asahel, January, 1766, married Lydia Lewis, and died at Antrim, New Hampshire. 4. Stephen, see forward. 5. Lois, August 7, 1773, married, first, William Campbell, and, second, Robert Eaton, lived in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and Ridgeway, New York. 6. Mary, April 9, 1776, married Daniel Blaisdell, and died at Cambridge, Vermont. 7. Joseph, December 28, 1778, moved to the west. 8. Jacob, November 25, 1780, married, first. Nancy Gove, and, second. Maria Adams, of Limerick, Maine, to which state he removed. 9. Jededialı (2), July 30, 1782, married Lydia Butterfield, and died at Warren, Vermont. Jedediah Cram, the father, died at Frances- town, New Hampshire, June 3, 1828, aged ninety years.
