Titcomb & Thompson. In his latter years he was engaged in the fire and life insurance business. He was instrumental in organizing the Kennebunk Savings Bank, also the Ocean National Bank, and was president of the latter for some years. In addition to serving as a selectman and as a member of the school board for many years, he served with such marked ability in both branches of the Maine legis- lature as to place him among the leading Democrats of the state, and he was twice nominated by his party for the governorship. His sterling integrity, knowledge of finance and the principles of banking caused Gov- ernor Garcelon to appoint him bank examiner in 1879, and he held other positions of honor and trust. He was a deacon of the Con- gregational church. Hon. Joseph Titcomb died December 25, 1891. During his leisure moments he collected much valuable genea- logical matter relative to the Titcomb family from the time of the immigrant ancestors.
December 23, 1852, he married Mary Anna Wise, who was born in Kennebunk, October 17, 1824, daughter of William W. Wise. Her death occurred November 25, 1883. She was the mother of four children : I. Agnes, born August 19, 1860, married Charles H. Cole, who succeeded her father in the insurance business. 2. Alice, died in infancy. 3. William, see succeeding para- graph. 4. Frederick, died in infancy.
(VIII) William, third child and eldest son of Hon. Joseph and Mary A. (Wise) Tit- comb, was born in Kennebunk, July 21, 1862. He was educated in the Kennebunk public schools, and at the age of twenty years en- tered the service of the Boston and Maine railway as a baggage master. He has ever since remained in the employ of that corpora- tion, and for the past sixteen years has acted as a passenger conductor. He is a Master Mason, affiliating with York Lodge, and is also a member of Myrtle Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Kennebunk. He is a member of the Congregational church. At the present time he is serving upon the financial committee of the board of trustees of the Kennebunk Public Library. In politics he is a Democrat. On January 1, 1889, Mr. Titcomb married Maria Stone, daughter of Edward and Olive B. (Kilham) Stone, of Kennebunk. Mr. and Mrs. Titcomb have three children: Edward S., born January 21, 1890, is now attending Thornton Academy, Saco. William Sewall, October 16, 1895. Agnes Elizabeth, Novem- ber 4, 190I.
(For preceding generations see William Titcomb I.) (V) Stephen, third child of
TITCOMB Captain Stephen and Abigail (Stone) Titcomb, was born in Kennebunk, Maine, October 3, 1752. When a young man he removed to Topsham, Maine, where he married, in 1776, Elizabeth, daugh- ter of James and Hannah Henry. She was born in Johnston, Rhode Island, August 19, 1749 (O. S.). The same year he began ex- ploring the valley of the Sandy river in search of desirable land, and there found a small tribe of Indians at Messee Contee (herring place), which became Farmington Falls. At the time he came there the tribe consisted of two familes, that of Pierpole and that of Phillips, sole representatives of their power- ful forefathers. Phillips left soon after the settlers came in 1781, but Pierpole remained for years and became the helper and friend of the white settlers. Stephen Titcomb led a party from Topsham including Robert Gower, Thomas Wilson, James Henry, Robert Alex- ander, and James M'Donnell in 1776, with a view of making a settlement. They came up the Kennebec river in canoes as far as Hallo- well, and from there proceeded on foot to the house of Rumford Smith, who had settled a little east of what is now Readfield Corner, then Winthrop. They then took west- northwest course by compass, but lost the trail they had hoped to strike, and continued along the northern bank of the river to the boundary of the Tufts farm, where they built a camp and with a strip of basswood bark as a chain laid out six lots of one hundred rods in width each. After dividing the land so surveyed by lot, they returned to Topsham and prepared for actual settlement. Their example was soon followed by the eager land hunters of the times, and the wild country was rapidly populated. Between 1776 and 1780 Mr. Tit- comb journeyed every season to the settle- ment, cleared and prepared six acres for corn and potatoes, and built the first log house on the river. In 1780 he made a rude sled road to Winthrop with the assistance of the other pioneers, and about December 20, 1780, be- gan the journey of seventy miles with a yoke of oxen and a sled heavily laden with pro- visions for the winter. He was accompanied by his wife's brother, who drove a horse sled laden with furniture and bedding, and with comfortable seats for Mrs. Titcomb and two children, the youngest five weeks old. A snowstorm came up and they found refuge for four months for the mother and children at

Readfield Corner in a small log cabin, while Mr. Titcomb proceeded to Sandy River and spent the winter and early spring there alone, making a few journeys on snowshoes with such provisions as he could convey on a hand sled, thus keeping the poor wife and little children as comfortable as possible. When the snow allowed, they continued the journey and took possession of the log house at Sandy River, and despite this perilous journey and its at- tendant hardships, Mrs. Titcomb lived to be ninety-two years old and the five weeks old infant lived to the age of seventy-nine and was the mother of a large family. He built a framed barn in 1785, and a framed house in 1788, which is still standing, and which was at the time the finest house in the sec- tion. There was no church in the place, but Mr. Titcomb was a Methodist, and the first preaching service in the township was held in his log house by Rev. Ezekiah Emerson, a Congregational minister, who came at Mrs. Titcomb's request to baptize the first child born in this wilderness, her fourth child Stephen, born in Farmington, November 14, 1782. In 1799 the settlers built the first meeting-house, and Mr. Titcomb was foremost in the labor and bore a large share in the expenses. He represented his town in the general court in 1800; was a selectman 1815 and 1816, and a candidate for lieutenant-governor of Massa- chusetts in 1795, receiving twenty three votes for the nomination. Mrs. Titcomb died No- vember 6, 1839, and in 1840 Mr. Titcomb sold his farm, removed to the village then and now known as Farmington, and lived with his two daughters Lydia and Nancy. He died on Christmas Day, 1847, at the advanced age of ninety-five years. The children of Stephen and Elizabeth (Henry) Titcomb were: I. Jo- seph (q. v.), born December 18, 1776. 2. Henry, December 20, 1778, married Ann Buckminster, daughter of Rev. Timothy and Sarah (Williams) Fuller, and died August 19, 1864. 3. Hannah, November 15, 1780, re- moved from Topsham, Maine, in December, 1780, with her mother and two brothers to Sandy River after a journey that consumed three months; married William Allen and died March 26, 1859. 4.

Nancy, May 24, 1787, died Feb- ruary 28, 1857, unmarried. 7. Betsey, April 25, 1789, married Samuel Belcher; died July 31, 1813. 8. John, February 24, 1794, died October 1, 1861.
(VI) Joseph, eldest son of Stephen and Elizabeth (Henry) Titcomb, was born in Topsham, Maine, December 18, 1776. He was a pupil at Hallowell Academy, where he was graduated, and he began life as a merchant in Farmington, then known as Centre Village, in 1803, and continued in trade up to 1820, when his youngest brother John purchased his store and stock and he returned to his farm, afterwards occupied by his son John. He con- nected himself with the Congregational church not long after its formation and was one of its most constant supporters during the remainder of his life. He was town treasurer for seven years, 1822-28, and was a man of strict in- tegrity, trained to habits of thrift and industry, and successful in all his undertakings. He married, December 13, 1808, Mehitable, daugh- ter of Supply Belcher, and they had children : I. Stephen, born September 16, 1809. 2. Henry Belcher, August 6, 1811. 3. John, July 2, 1813. 4. Joseph, May 25, 1816 (q. v.). 5. Benjamin More, October 16, 1818. 6. Hiram B., August 27, 1822. The mother died Feb- ruary 16, 1838, and the father March 21, 1858.
(VII) Joseph, fourth son of Joseph and Mehitable (Belcher) Titcomb, was born in Farmington, Maine, May 25, 1816. He was educated in his native town, and settled as a farmer on a part of the old homestead, and was greatly esteemed as a citizen. For many years he was a faithful member of the Congre- gational church. He married, November 26, 1844, Elisabeth Eaton, daughter of Thomas Jr. and Susan (Lyon) Wendell, and a direct descendant of Evert Jansen Wendell, born in Embden, Hanover, in 1615, came to New Amsterdam (New York) in 1640, went up the Hudson river and settled in Albany. By this marriage Joseph and Elisabeth Eaton (Wendell) Titcomb had children as follows : Hiram (q. v.), August 2, 1846, and an infant son. His wife died March 15, 1849, and he married (second) September 20, 1854, Lois Nelson, daughter of Moses Craig, and by this marriage had three children: William, Eliza- beth Wendell and Henry Augustus.

Meanwhile he had purchased and was successfully carrying on a farm. He aban- .doned teaching to learn cheesemaking and

became the manager of a cheese factory a few miles from his home. Later he established near his farm a factory for the canning of sweet corn, which he operated for a consider- able number of years. In 1889 he removed to the village, to give his children better edu- cational advantages, and engaged in a general grocery, grain and coal business, selling a por- tion of his farm and gradually abandoning the canning industry, except for occasional ven- tures. The general store was disposed of in 1899, but the coal business Mr. Titcomb re- tained until his death. Mr. Titcomb never lost his interest in farming, and at no time did he fail to have fields and orchards under cul- tivation. He was a wise and thrifty farmer, keeping his land in good condition and early giving intelligent and farsighted attention to the propagation and care of apple orchards. He was highly regarded for his industry, busi- ness capability and integrity, and was active and efficient in promoting the educational and material interests of the community. He was- a member of the school committee for thirteen years, and for several years served as a select- man of Farmington. At the age of sixteen he became a member of the Congregational church and throughout his life was a constant attendant at its services. He served it as Sunday school superintendant and teacher, and was for years an efficient member of its busi- ness committee. He married, April 5, 1875, Hannah Jane, daughter of Andrew W. and Hannah (Emery) Gould, and granddaughter of Samuel and Lydia (Walker) Gould, whose family consisted of ten children, as follows : I. Damaris, born February 25, 1797. 2. Elias, February 12, 1799. 3. Lydia, July 5, 1801. 4. Samuel, July 6, 1803. 5. Mary, January 5, 1806. 6. Lucy, March 12, 1808. 7. Elbridge, May 2, 1810. 8.

(VIII) Frank Elmer, son of Hiram and Hannah Jane (Gould) Titcomb, was born in Farmington, Maine, March 17, 1884. He at- tended the public grammar and high school of Farmington, and was a student at Dartmouth College, but had to leave college before gradu-
ating, on account of the death of his father, which occurred December 16, 1906. This event made him, as the oldest son, the business head of the family, and proprietor of the coal business. He carried it on successfully until his death, July 21, 1908, which resulted from an operation for appendicitis. He was uni- versally loved and respected, had taken a deep interest in the business and social life of his town, and was rapidly coming to occupy a trusted and important place in the conduct of its affairs.
