George Jacobs, immigrant an-
JACOBS cestor, settled in Salem, Massa- chusetts, in what was called Sa- lem village (Danvers), in a secluded spot off east from the main road leading to Topsfield, and bordering upon the river leading to Dan- vers Post. He bought his homestead, consist- ing of a house and ten acres of land, of Rich- ard Waters and Joyn, his wife, November 20, 1658. He afterward added four acres more, consisting partly of marsh land. He received a grant also from the town of Salem, which remained in the family, several generations. C. M. Endicott, of Salem, a descendant of the seventh generation from George Jacobs, says : "This portion of land remained in the family during the childhood and minority of my great- grandmother, Elizabeth Jacobs, the great- granddaughter of George Jacobs, she being the daughter of John, who was the son of George Jr., who was the son of George Sr. The old lady has often told me that previous to her marriage with my great-grandfather, John Endicott, she used to paddle a canoe across the river and milk the cows in this very lot, and when the tide was out she was accustomed to pass and repass over the flats upon a row of stones, or sort of causeway, leading to the channel on both sides, wade through the chan- nel with her pails of milk, and upon her return safely deposit her burden in her father's house. These stones, we are told by some of the fam- ily still residing upon the old homestead, re- main to this day, a memorial not only of the perseverance of our fathers but of the hardi- hood of her who so often passed and repassed with the fruits of her daily toil and industry over them.'
George Jacob's will was dated January 29, 1691-92, and proved the November following. He, with his daughter-in-law and granddaugh- ter Margaret, were arrested and charged with witchcraft. His son George was also impli- cated, but fled and escaped arrest. The grand- daughter was in her seventh year, and while in prison was terrified by the inquisitors into a false confession against her grandfather, who was an aged and decrepit old man, harm- less and inoffensive. She and her mother were set at liberty, but the aged man was con- demned and put to death August 19, 1692. One tradition says that he was hung upon a
tree on his own land and buried there. An- other is that he was executed in Salem, and his body was brought home for burial by his son, across the back of his horse. The grave where he was supposed to have been buried was opened in the early fifties and was found to contain the bones of a very old person, without a single tooth in the jaw, and they were no doubt the remains of this innocent man. He was upward of eighty years old, and required the support of two canes, which are now in the possession of the Essex In- stitute at Salem. The picture of his trial for witchcraft is also owned by the Institute.

When he was but fourteen years old he be- gan to trade horses and demonstrate the busi- ness ability that has distinguished him in later life. He continued to deal in horses at Spring- vale until the civil war. He enlisted as cor- poral in Company F, Eighth Maine Regiment, for three years and was soon afterward pro- moted to first sergeant. He was promoted first lieutenant of Company F in recognition of bravery at Cold Harbor. At Petersburg he was twice wounded, and there he won his third promotion for gallantry in action and was brevetted captain.

Vos was a Dutch family name, and VOSE the vowel was an English addi- tion. In Flemish it became De Vos, and in German Voss. The roots of the family we are about to treat of were firmly grounded in Old Bay State soil, and whether it be at the bar, the forum, on the hustings, wearing the ermine or the surplice, the Vose banner has been borne high aloft. Such achievements have been theirs as come to the most erudite, the most eloquent, and the most sagacious. Belonging to this line were Hon. Henry L. Pierce, member of congress from Massachusetts, Governor Gardner of that state, and Hon. Roger Vose, who sat in con- gress from New Hampshire, and was chief justice in the court of common pleas. He was a noted wit of his day, his bonhomie, face- tiousness, and quick repartee being the life of the company in which he moved. Meet- ing a person of unsavory reputation one day he noticed he was in black. "What are you in mourning for?" asked Roger. "My sins," replied the other. "Have you lost any?" re- sponded Roger.
(I) The progenitor of the Vose family was rooted in English soil in Lancashire, and his name was Robert Vose, born about 1599. He came to America and established himself in Milton, Massachusetts. He died October 16, 1683, aged eighty-four. In. July, 1654, he bought of the heirs of "Worshipful John Glo- ver" one hundred and seventy-four acres on the easterly side of Baddocks river, running along the present line of Ruggles lane and School street to Churchill's lane, stretching southerly and westerly as far as Brook road and White street, and the wall east of the house of Charles Breck, and thence to Pleas- ant street. Over this territory in after years the descendants of Robert continued to reside, scattered along Canton avenue and Green hill, and some portion of it is still held by the fam- ily. Robert's house stood on the corner of Canton avenue and Brook road. The purchase included a tract on the south slope of Brush Hill. Robert was made a freeman in 1666.
.

He was a man of note in his day and genera- tion, and was one of the three petitioners for the incorporation of Milton. By an inden- ture, dated May 18, 1664, he conveyed to the town through a board of trustees eight acres of land for church purposes, situated on Vose lane and Cedar street, now occupied in part by the house of Mr. Blanchard. On this lot a parsonage house was erected, largely through Robert's activity. Rev. Peter Thach- er, the parish parson, kept a journal of every day events, and on September 24, 1680, is this entry : "Old goodman Vose gave me a barrel of cider and some honey." To the deed of indenture Robert signed his name, but his wife made her mark. He went to the grave full of years and honors, "Like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." Children : Edward, Thomas, Henry, Eliza- beth and Martha.
(II) Sergeant Thomas, second son of Rob- ert and Jane Vose, was born in England in 1636, died January 29, 1716. He resided at Brush Hill on Canton avenue, near Atherton street in Milton. He was a man of conse- quence in his town, and was recorder for many years, the entries being in a legible hand. Parson Thacher's journal has these en- tries : "December 26. 1687. This day Ser- geant Badcock and Peter Lyon were at my house to get me to go and treat with Sergeant Vose about consenting to Peter's marrying his daughter." "December 30, treated with Ser- geant Vose about giving his consent that Peter Lyon should marry his daughter, but his an- swer was plainly negative." "January 3, 1685, I went with Sergeant Badcock to treat with Jane Vose and to acquaint her that her father could not consent, whereupon we labored abundantly to take her affections from Peter." It seems Thomas was obdurate, but had, or thought he had, good reasons for being so. Thomas married Waitstill Wyatt. born in 1645, died in 1727. Children : Elizabeth, Henry, Jane and Thomas.
(III) Thomas (2). second son of Thomas (1) and Waitstill (Wyatt) Vose, was born in 1667 in Milton, and married Hannah Bad- cock in 1695. Children : Samuel, Jane, Han- nah. David, Jonathan, Thomas, Jemima, Ke- siah and Seth.
(IV) Jonathan, third son of Thomas (2) and Hannah (Badcock) Vose, was born in 1704 in Milton, living there through life, at which place he died. He married Mary
-; children : Lemuel, Jonathan, Seth. - Hannah, Jane, Thomas, Mary, Jesse, Jemima, Kesiah, Thomas and Mary Lydia.
(V) Jesse, fifth son of Jonathan and Mary Vose, was born in Milton, March 3, 1742, and was the first of the family to come to Maine. He located first at Sandy River, Franklin county, from thence going to Kingfield on the Carrobassett river. There is a mountain there called Vose mountain, after him, who was one of the first settlers. Two of his brothers also went to Maine, Seth and Thomas, locating in Thomaston, Knox county, and were the found- ers of numerous descendants. They were the first of the family to spread out and take deep root in other states. Up to this time it had been strictly a Massachusetts family. He mar- ried Mary Durfee; children : Ebenezer, Lem- uel and Betsey.
(VI) Ebenezer, eldest son of Jesse and Mary (Durfee) Vose, was born in old King- field in 1770, and died in 1848. Children : Eben, Betsey, Mary, Jesse, Lemuel, Nancy, Thomas, Hiram, Charles Wesley, John Wesley and Almira. From the christening of two of his sons after the great Methodists we infer he was a follower of theirs.
(VII) Charles Wesley, sixth son of Ebe- nezer Vose, was born in the year 1815 in Kingfield, at a time when his country was suffering from the ravages and disasters.of the second war with Great Britain. He came to Machias, Maine, in 1840, and became the founder of the Machias Vose family. His first employment was in the hayfield of Captain George Smith, for which he received one dol- lar. He arose in successive gradations until the poor hired hand and friendless boy work- ing for a dollar a day and his board, became one of the leading lumber manufacturers of eastern Maine and a wealthy citizen. He con- ducted milling operations on the Machias river, on the Kennebec river, and at Lawrence- town, Nova Scotia. His annual cut of logs amounted to many million feet. He built the . first brick block with granite facings in Ma- chias, and did business therein throughout his active career. He married the Widow Betsey Flagg, née Longfellow, who was from Edward Longfellow, of England, born in 1555, whose grandson, William Longfellow, came to New- bury, Massachusetts, in 1636 and founded the Longfellow family in America. He married Ann, a sister of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall of witchcraft notoriety. The poet is of this genealogy, and the Longfellows were an early and a good family at Machias. Children : Charles E., Orris M. and John Edward. Charles Wesley married (second) Elmira Perry, of Machias.

He was edu- cated in the public schools of his native town, finishing his education at Comer's Commercial College, Boston. He went into his father's general store at Machias, established by his grandfather, and subsequently became a part- ner. In 1906 he took into the business Will- iam Boynton, the firm name continuing as it had for fifty years, C. W. Vose and Sons. Mr. Vose is a member of Harwood Lodge, No. 91, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of which he is steward. He has been accorded the capitular degree in the Washington Chapter of Machias ; he has been received into St. El- mo Commandery, Knights Templar ; he is a member of the Order of Modern Woodmen, a Republican in politics, and a Universalist in religion.
