On October 8, 1857, Mr. Lord was united in marriage with Mary Morse Mendum, born July 7, 1831, daughter of Samuel and Mary Mendum, of Kennebunk. Mrs. Lord died October 16. 1906, leaving three daughters : Sarah L., who is now the widow of Edwin J. Cram and resides with her father. Elizabeth C., wife of Archibald Finlayson, of Rye, New Hampshire. Frances A., wife of Rev. Au- gustus M. Lord, of Providence, Rhode Island. Sarah L. pursued an advanced course of study in Greenfield, Massachusetts; Elizabeth C. completed her education at a boarding school in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Frances A. was graduated from Cambridge, Massa- chusetts.

LORD Robert Lord, immigrant, was born in England in 1603, and appears to have been the son of Widow Catherine Lord, who was residing in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1637, and was a commoner in 1641. Robert Lord took the freeman's oath at Boston, March 3, 1636. His house lot on High street was granted to him February 19, 1637. In 1630 he had a house lot on High street, which property yet remains in the pos- session of his descendants. He was one of Denison's subscribers in 1648; had a share in Plum Island in 1664 ; and was a voter in town affairs in 1679. He was on a committee with Richard Saltonstall and others, empowered to grant house lots to settlers, in 1645. He was representative in 1638; selectman in 1661 and many years after ; and was appointed "searcher of coin" for the town of Ipswich in 1654. He was long town clerk, and also clerk of the court till his decease ; the latter office included the duties now performed by the clerk; for more than twenty years he served in the Indian wars and became so inured to camp life and exposure that he could never after- ward sleep upon a feather bed. He is said to have been below the medium stature, but of powerful mould and one of the most athletic, strong and fearless men in the Colonial serv- ice. There is a tradition that the Indians themselves, at one time, when confronted by Lord's rangers, proposed to decide the battle that was anticipated by an encounter between
the champions of the two parties; to this the whites agreed, and Robert Lord walked to the front. The Indians selected the most powerful of their tribe, a perfect giant, full seven feet in stature. The two men were to meet at full run and take the "Indian hug" as they closed. The savages anticipated an easy vic- tory. They came together like two infuriated bullocks with a tremendous shock, but in an instant the redskin lay stretched upon the earth, and the shouts of the Colonial scouts rang out in the forest. Not satisfied with a single experiment, they were required to rush and clinch again. In this encounter Lord took the "hip-lock" on his greasy antagonist and threw him with such force that a blood vessel was ruptured in the fall. The Indians took him up and carried him from the arena, fully acknowledging themselves defeated; they afterward reported that some white man's devil invested Lord with supernatural strength. He died August 12, 1683, in the eightieth year of his age. His will, dated June 28, was proved September 25, 1683. He married Mary Waite in 1630. In his will he mentions his wife Mary, "with whom by God's good provi- dence we have lived comfortably together in a married condition almost fifty-three years." He bequeaths her all his estate during her life. Children : Robert, Sarah, Nathaniel, Thomas, Samuel, Susannah, Abigail, Hannah, and one who married a Chendler.
(II) Robert (2), eldest son of Robert (1) and Mary (Waite) Lord, was born in 1631, and died November 11, 1696. He had a share in Plum Island in 1664, was a voter in town affairs in 1679, and was one of twenty-four of "the young generation," who joined the church by taking the covenant, between January 18 and February 1, 1673. He was a selectman, and held other offices in the town of Ipswich, being marshal of the court as early as 1669, and holding that office ten years. He is usually designated Marshal Lord. He married Han- nah Day, who survived him. Their sons were : Robert, John, Thomas, James, Joseph and Nathaniel.
(III) James, fourth son of Robert (2) and Hannah (Day) Lord, was born in Ipswich, January 27, 1676. He had a seat assigned him in the meeting house in 1702, and was a com- moner in 1708. The first name of his wife was Mary; children: James, Joseph and Na- thaniel.
(IV) Nathaniel, younger son of James and Mary Lord, was born in 1718 in Ipswich, and married Elizabeth Day. Children : Nathaniel, Abraham and Isaac.

(V) Abraham ( I), second son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Day) Lord, was born in Ipswich in 1751.
(VI) Abraham (2), was born in Ipswich, April 25, 1784, died October 9, 1848, in Ells- worth, Maine. It seems reasonable to conclude that he was the son of Abraham Lord above. He moved to Township No. six, now Surry, Hancock county, Maine, and thence to Ells- worth. He married Phoebe Smith, born Jan- uary 27, 1783, died May 29, 1879, a nonagena- rian. Children: Sylvester, Lucena B., Pau- lina H., Eliza J. and John A.
(VII) Sylvester, eldest son of Abraham (2) and Phœbe (Smith) Lord, was born in Ells- worth, June 12, 1807, died February 7, 1891, an octogenarian. He married Sarah Ander- son, who died in 1857, and in 1860 he married her cousin Annie. Sarah was the mother of : John A., George W., Ellen A., Irvin L., Alma H. and Ida A. The children of second union were: Harry C., Percey L., Lewis T., Jeannie H., Mabel E., Eugene H. and Ralph E. Annie (Anderson) Lord died March 10, 1871.
(VIII) Captain George W., second son of Sylvester and Sarah ( Anderson) Lord, was born November 5, 1838, in Ellsworth. The common schools of his native town and the academy at Ellsworth supplied his education. He went to sea at fourteen years of age as a cook and before the mast in coastwise and for- eign voyages. At the time he quit the sea in 1870 he had been master of vessels for eleven years. In that year he came to Calais, Maine, and opened a ship chandler and ship stores under the firm name of Rideout & Lord, which continued for twenty years, in which time they built twenty-three vessels. Since the death of Mr. Rideout, Mr. Lord has continued the business. Besides his mercantile affairs Captain Lord owns a shipyard and has built and repaired many vessels. He also maintains an agency for marine insurance. Captain Lord was appointed in January, 1865, by Hon. Gideon Welles, secretary of the navy under Lincoln, as ensign. He was sailing master of the United States barkentine "Horace Beals." He is a member of Fellowship Lodge, No. 98. Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Calais; Border Lodge, Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which he is financial sec- retary; member of the Loyal Legion, Com- mandery of Maine; Joel Haycock Post, Grand Army of the Republic. He attends the Bap- tist church, of which he is a deacon, and is a believer in Republican principles and an ad- mirer of Republican statesmen. He is a mem- ber of the St. Croix Club, Board of Trade,
a director in the Calais National Bank, and a trustee of the Calais Savings Bank. Decem- ber 23, 1869, he married Mary Clorinda, daughter of O. B. Rideout; child, Caroline Mary, born August 20, 1876, married Frank- lin W. Johnson, of East Wilton, Maine, dean of the University High School in Chicago. Mrs. Lord's grandfather was Benjamin Ride- out, of St. Andrews, New Brunswick.
LORD The principal subject of the fol- lowing sketch was a resident in youth of Western New Hampshire,
where his ancestors had dwelt for years. He was probably a descendant of Nathan Lord, the immigrant.
(I) Captain Benjamin Lord resided in Leb- anon, New Hampshire, where lie married and raised a family.
(II) Ivory, son of Captain Benjamin Lord, was a resident of Lebanon. He married Draxy Lord, by whom he had five children : Clemen- tine, Claratine, Gardner, Ivory F. and Benja- min Leland.
(III) Ivory Fairfield, son of Ivory and Draxy (Lord) Lord, was born in Lebanon, New Hampshire, December 20, 1838, and died in Portland, Maine, May 19, 1905. He lived in Lebanon throughi most of his boyhood, afterward going to Somersworth, New Hamp- shire, where he finished his education and then learned the business of candy making, in which he was to make a complete success. About 1865 he engaged in business in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he remained three years, and then removed to Portland to work for L. J. Perkins, who then and for many years afterward was the proprietor of a con- fectionery store on Congress street, just west of the Longfellow Mansion. March 22, 1880, Mr. Lord began business for himself, buying out the old stand of Allen Gow on Congress street on the site of the Baxter building. On this spot Mr. Lord remained several years or until the time when plans were being dis- cussed for the demolition of the old row of buildings in that part of the city. Mr. Lord wanted to be prepared in case of emergency and accordingly bought the candy store of C. O. Hudson in Monument Square, where he remained only a few years, being obliged to give way to other changes in that section. It was not till some time later that the buildings were removed to give way to the Baxter block, and in the meantime Mr. Lord kept his store there. A little while afterward, in November, 1888, Mr. Lord took the store at 486 Congress street and there he remained in business till his
508

death. A short time before he died he bought out the candy store of J. H. Hall under the Columbia Theater, which he conducted as a branch store. Mr. Lord died after an illness of several months due to a general breaking down which resulted in a serions kidney trouble. At different times during his life he had suffered intensely with rheumatism. He resided at 217 High street. Mr. Lord was an honest, upright citizen in every sense of the word, and his death was sincerely mourned by hundreds of people whom he met in his many years of business life. He devoted his time strictly to his own affairs, paying careful at- tention to details, and was rewarded by large and constantly increasing patronage. Assum- ing that his goods were his only recommenda- tion, he never omitted anything necessary to make them first class. He ever maintained that high standard, so that his confectionery productions were known for their excellence not only in Portland but throughout the coun- try. He became a Mason at Great Falls, now Somersworth, New Hampshire, and demitted. He was a member of Independent Order of Odd Fellows ; and Eastern Star Encampment, No. 2, Patriarchs Militant.
Ivory F. Lord married, in Rochester, New Hampshire, November 14, 1864, Clara Abbie, born in Berwick, Angust 17, 1843, daughter of Hiram and Emily ( Walker) Varney. Chil- dren of Hiram and Emily Varney were : I. Eliza, who died aged twenty-one. 2. Charles W., who married Rachel Parker, and had William, Hiram, George W., Nellie and Fred. 3. Emily A., who married Alonzo Richards, and had Charles. 4. Frances Lucretia, who died young. 5. Lucretia Frances, died young. 6. Aaron, died young. 7. Clara A. Children of Ivory F. and Clara A. (Varney) Lord : I. Fred Fairfield, born October 27, 1865, was for several years in business with his father ; married Eva Pierce and has two children : Phyllis Clara and Lawrence. 2. Ella Frances, born November 6, 1870. 3. Leon Ralson, born May 10. 1877, is in business in New York.
PERKINS The ancestors of the American family of this sketch are traced with more or less certainty through many generations in England, where the early ancestor and several of those follow- ing him held positions of trust and honor. Identity of name does not necessarily imply sameness of origin, and many families of this name are not of this stock, though this family is traditionally connected with the Perkins family of Boston. The arms of John Perkins
of Ufton, County Berks, England, third gen- eration, were: A shield or, a fesse dancette, ermine, three billets ermines above and below the fesse dancette. The arms of William Par- kyns of the next generation were: Or, a fesse dancette, between eight billets ermines. This last appears on a seal used on a deed from William Parkyns to Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester.
(1) Pierre de Morlaix, alias Perkins, was living in 1380-81 and was high steward of the estates of Hugo Despencer, at that time one of the richest and most powerful nobles of England, having no less than fifty-nine lord- ships in various counties.
( II) Henry (1) Perkins, who was known as Henry Pierrekin, or Henry the son of Pierre, succeeded to the stewardship held by his fa- ther. He had a son John next mentioned.
(III) John Perkins, the son of Henry Per- kins, followed his father as steward of the Despencers, and in numerous transfers of land he was required to make, he wrote his name indifferently, John Perkins, Perkyns Armiger, and Parkyns. He was living in 1397-1.400, in the reign of Henry VI. John Perkins, ar- miger, held the position of high steward to Despencer, when the heiress of this famous Despencer family married the Earl of War- wick, known as the king maker from the part he took in the Wars of the Roses. John Per- kins, as shown by the court roll of Madres- field, 1390, held one messuage and eighteen acres of land there. He was seneschal to Thomas Despencer Earl of Gloucester-Lord Thomas Despencer married a kinswoman of Richard II.
(!\') William Parkyns, Lord of Ufton, was baillous, or agent, to Humphrey Plantaganet. Duke of Gloucester, who was brother to Hen- ry V, and uncle and guardian to the young Henry VI, during his minority. His wife was Margaret.
(\) Thomas Parkyns, living 1452-1479, is supposed to be the ancestor of the Madresfield and Nottinghamshire Perkins family, which claims William Parkyns of the fourth genera- tion as its ancestor, though there are no au- thentic records now known to prove the claim. This Thomas Parkyns married Ellen, sister of John Tompkins, of Nappend, Herefordshire.
(VI) James Perkins, of Shropshire, son of Thomas Parkyns, of Madresfield and Ufton, married and had a son Thomas, see next para- graph.
(VII) Thomas (2) Perkins, of Hillmorton, county of Warwick, is supposed to be a son of James Perkins above. His wife was Alys

( Alice). His will, dated April 3, 1528, proved at Litchfield, April 21, 1528, mentions Thomas Clark and "Alys, my wife," as executors. Alice Perkins, of Hillmorton, made a will dated July 31, and proved by Henry Perkins, her son, October 15, 1538. She directs that her body shall be buried in the church of St. John the Baptist, at Hillmorton. The chil- dren of Thomas and Alys were Henry, Jone or Jane, and Jelyan or Julianna.
(VIII) Henry (2), eldest child of Thomas (2) and Alice Perkins, left but little of his life on record. His will was proved June 16, 1546. The name of his wife is unknown. His children were Thomas, William and Joan. The Madresfield Perkins arms are the same as used by the eighth generation of the Ufton Perkins, the same as used by the Hillmorton Perkins family, county Warwick, and their descendants in America. Arms: A shield or ; a fesse dan- cette, ermine ; between ten billets ermines, four above and six below the fesse : crest, a pine- apple (cone) proper color, branched and leaved, vert.
(IX) Thomas (3), son of Henry (2) Per- kins, resided at Hillmorton, where he was living in 1546. His will, dated September 16. 1588, was proved by his son Henry at Litch- field, May II, 1592. He married Alice Kib- ble or Kebbell, who was living December 17, 1601. By this marriage there were fifteen children. The names of twelve of them have come down to us: Henry, John, Edward, Luke, William, Thomas, Isaache, Lewis, Eliza- beth, Joan, and Lysle, and a daughter who married Edward Shawe.
(X) Isaache, seventh son of Thomas (3) and Alice (Kibble or Kebhell) Perkins, was living in 1603 and died December 1, 1629. He was appraiser of the estate of his brother Ed- ward, August 18. 1619. The name of his wife is unknown. His children so far as known were: Isaache, three daughters, and Jacob, baptized March 23, 1605. John Perkins, of Ipswich, Massachusetts, and Abraham Per- kins, of Hampton, New Hampshire, are sup- posed to be sons of Isaache Perkins.
(XI) Isaac (2), son of Isaache (1) Per- kins, was probably born in January, 1611, as the record of his baptism, January 26, 1611, appears in the register of the church of St. John the Baptist in Hillmorton, in the county of Warwick, England. Also is recorded there, in 1608, John Perkins and Judith Gater, mar- ried 9th of October. This is John Perkins, later of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Isaac Per- kins died in Hampton, New Hampshire, No- vember 13, 1685, aged seventy-four. This
Isaac Perkins came to New England between 1630 and 1634. He was in Ipswich in 1637, as he received a grant of land there at that time. In 1638 the town of Hampton, New Hampshire, was settled, and among those who went there were Abraham and Isaac Perkins, believed to have been younger brothers of John Perkins, of Ipswich, and their families. According to tradition Abraham and Isaac were brothers. They appear to have made set- tlement about the same time and the house lots assigned to them by the town, each containing five acres, adjoined each other. Isaac's house was nearly on the site of the present Baptist parsonage, and there he lived more than ten years. In the list of shares of commons grant- ed "23, 12 mo. 1645" unto the proprietors of house lots were three shares each to Abraham and Isaac Perkins. In June, 1652, Rev. Tim- othy Dalton, reader of the church in Hampton, sold to Isaac Perkins, of Hampton, planter, for fifty pounds, his farm lying next to Salis- bury line, in New Hampshire, with seventy acres of meadow and marsh, bounded by John Brown and John Wheelrite. Isaac Perkins probably removed there soon after the pur- chase. March 23, 1663, a committee presented a report of the owners of the shares in the cow common and how the title was derived. Among these "original rights" Isaac Perkins's title is shown to be derived from Samuel Fogg, one share bought of Henry Roby. The old Norfolk records show conveyance by lsaac Perkins of small parcels of land and rights of way across his land. Among the names on a list of those permitted to vote at the first as- sembly of the Royal Province of New Hamp- shire, March 16, 1680, is that of Isaac Perkins. March 2, 1683, Isaac Perkins and eighteen others sign a petition to Edward Cranfield, Esq., his majesty's lieutenant governor of the province of New Hampshire, to be freed from head money, all being about and above sev- enty years of age, some above eighty, others near ninety, "being heartily willing our estates should pay their proportion to all public charges." In an address and petition from Hampton to the King against Cranfield signed by sixty-seven persons, there are the names of Isaac and six other male members of the Per- kins family. A note on the families in Hamp- ton states that during the first summer Mr. Bachelor was in Hampton, the families of Abraham and Isaac Perkins were among the number there. They were the first to have their children baptized by Mr. Bachelor at that place, and Abraham's son, born Septem- ber 2, 1639, baptized December 15, 1639, is

said to have been the first male white child born in Hampton. September 18, 1671, Abra- ham and Isaac Perkins and their wives, Susan- na and Mary, were among the sixty-five per- sons in full communion in the church at Hamp- ton. Isaac Perkins was a rich man; was a ship carpenter and settled in what is now called Seabrook. Isaac Perkins married, about 1634, Susanna, daughter of Humphrey Wise, of Ipswich, and Abraham Perkins married Mary Wise, her sister. Susanna Perkins sur- vived her husband and died a widow in 1699 in Newcastle, Delaware, where she was living with her daughter, Rebecca (Perkins) Hus- sey. Isaac and Susanna had two children born in Ipswich, the others were born in Hampton. They were: Lydia, Isaac, Jacob, Rebecca, Daniel, Caleb, Benjamin, Susanna, Hannah, Mary, Ebenezer and Joseph.
(XII) Caleb, fourth son of Isaac (2) and Susanna (Wise) Perkins, was born in 1648. He resided at Hampton, and was the only son of Isaac who remained in New England, the others removing to Maryland. Caleb and Ebenezer Perkins, sons of Isaac, are known to have been in the service of the country during the years 1675 and 1676. Caleb Perkins mar- ried, April 24, 1677, Bethia, born December 15, 1654, daughter of Thomas Philbrick, of Hampton. Children : Rhoda, Benjamin and Ann.
(XIII) Benjamin, only son of Caleb and Bethia (Philbrick) Perkins, was born May II, 1680, died February II, 1767. He signed a petition December 5, 1709, with others, ask- ing relief from paying rates to support a min- ister at Hampton, and to have a meeting house in the south part of Hampton and a minister of their own. May 13, 1710, Caleb Perkins, Benjamin Perkins, and others peti- tioned that each part of the town of Hampton maintain its own minister. He resided in what is now Hampton Falls. He married, March I, 1710 or 1711, Lydia Macrease, who was of Scotch descent. Children: Joseph, Lydia, Daniel, Mary, Jonathan and Abigail.
(XIV) Joseph, eldest child of Benjamin and Lydia (Macrease) Perkins, was born in Hampton Falls, May 5, 1712, died there June 17, 1761. He was engaged in agriculture, and was highly esteemed by his townsmen. He married, October 31, 1734, Elizabeth, of Sea- brook, daughter of Jeremiah Dow, son of Sergeant Joseph Dow. She died November 24, 1781, at Hampton Falls. Children : David (died young), Elidia (called Lydia), David, Nancy, Sarah, Benjamin and Hannah.
(XV) David (1), second son of Joseph and
Elizabeth (Dow) Perkins, was born in Hamp- ton Falls, November 3, 1740, died August 15, 1816. He lived on the ancestral homestead, where he built a house about 1806. Two of his sons lived in the town, Captain Nathaniel, and Joseph, who was prominent in town af- fairs. The David Perkins homestead was afterward owned by Chevy Chase. The an- cient homestead of the Perkins set back a short distance from the house built in 1806. All the children of Captain Nathaniel Perkins were born in the 1806 house, except Harriet, who was born in the Fifield house. The family lived in the Fifield house fourteen years, until John L. Perkins, son of Captain Nathaniel, built his house on the turnpike road in Hamp- ton Falls, between the "Hill" and the Marshes. The revolutionary war annals of New Hamp- shire record the fact that David Perkins in 1777 was in Captain Stephen Dearborn's com- pany, July 21 to September 18, one month and twenty-nine days. David Perkins married, March 22, 1764, Abigail, born March 22, 1742, daughter of Gershom Griffith, of Hampton, a trader, who came from Portsmouth. She died in Hampton Falls, August 15, 1819, aged sev- enty-seven years, five months. Children : Mary, Joseph, Sally, Nathaniel, David, Betsy and Abigail.
(XVI) Captain Nathaniel, second son of David and Abigail (Griffith) Perkins, was born in Hampton Falls, October 11, 1771, died July 15, 1848. He was a tanner and also had a store, but in his later life was a farmer. His farm of one hundred acres or more was finely situated, the road passing through it about midway, and he took much pains to have it al- ways in good order. In 1827 or 1828 he sold the homestead and moved to the Fifield place nearby. He was of a decided military turn and served for years in the militia. He was commissioned ensign of the second company of the Third Regiment, October 19, 1805, and captain of the same company September 7, 1810. He resigned the latter commission Sep- tember 3, 1814. At one time he was a mem- ber of the board of selectmen. He was about six feet in height, would be called fairly broad- shouldered, weighed about one hundred and eighty pounds, had prominent features, dark blue eyes, and a Roman nose, and was a good- looking man. He married, September 24, 1807, Mary Janvrin, born December 12, 1787, died September 5, 1871, daughter of James and Mary (Chase) Janvrin, and was descended from Jean Janvrin, a native of the Isle of Jer- sey, one of the channel islands off the north and west coast of France, whose son John was

the father of James, her father. Children : Nathaniel Griffith, Mary (died young), David, Elizabeth Brown, Joshua Chase, James, Will- iam Evans, John Lewis, Mary Ann and Har- riet Esther.
(XVII) Lieutenant David (2), second son of Captain Nathaniel and Mary (Janvrin) Perkins, was born in Hampton .Falls, New Hampshire, April 26, 1812, died at the home of his brother, James Perkins, at Calais, Maine, where he was visiting, September 19, 1875. When about twenty-one years of age he went from Hampton Falls, New Hamp- shire, to Eastport, Maine, where he was clerk in an office in 1833. In 1834 he was in the office of the Pembroke Iron Works until the failure of the company. In 1835 he was with Wyse & Company, lumber dealers, Middle- town, Connecticut, and in 1836-37, with the Red Beach Plaster Mills, Calais, Maine. In 1838 he settled in Eastport, Maine, and by prudence and business sagacity became one of Eastport's most prosperous merchants. He
