(For preceding generations see Nicholas Snow I.) (IV) Deacon Isaac, fifth son of SNOW John (2) and Elizabeth (Ridley) Snow, was born March 21, 1714, in Truro, and was a pioneer settler in Harps- well, whence he removed to Brunswick, Maine; in his old age he removed to Thomas- ton, in that state, where most of his children lived, and died in 1799, at the home of his daughter, Hannah Hall, in St. George, Maine. The baptismal name of his wife is given in the Thomaston records as "Affier" (Aphia), and their children were: John, Isaac, Rev. Elisha, Joseph, Ambrose, Elizabeth, Polly, Samuel, Mercy and Hannah.


(V) Rev. Elisha, third son of Deacon Isaac and Aphia Snow, was born March 26, 1740, in Brunswick, and was educated for the ministry, becoming a clergyman of the Baptist church. In 1767 he settled at South Thomaston, Maine, where he died January 31, 1832, near the close of his ninety-second year. Few or no attempts


had been made to settle at Wessaweskeag (the Indian name for South Thomaston), prior to 1767. In that year elder Snow visited the place and was impressed with its water privi- leges and fine growth of timber. He induced John Matthews, of Plainfield, Connecticut, to join him, and they purchased the claim of a lieutenant in the British army, then in Boston, to three hundred acres of land, on which they erected a sawmill and began cutting up the timber to secure means to pay for the land. They were quickly successful in this, and Mr. Snow went to Boston to procure a deed. By a very favorable offer, he was there induced to purchase the entire tract, covering one thou- sand seven hundred and fifty acres, and he immediately returned to Thomaston and went to work with his associate to complete the pay- ment for the entire property. The holder of the notes and mortgage soon after sailed for England in a ship that was never afterward heard from, and so the holders of the land were never called upon for the final payment. However, on November 18, 1773, they pur- chased the right to the soil for the sum of six hundred and sixty-four pounds, ten shil- lings. Other settlers were soon attracted to the region and the dwelling house of elder Snow, the first in the settlement, was soon surrounded by the habitations of other pion- eers. He removed his family to South Thom- aston after 1771, and subsequently built a grist mill which was successfully operated for many years and was ultimately consumed by fire. He also engaged at an early date in building ships. His land was located on the north or northeast side of the Wessaweskeag river, and most of this passed into the hands of his seven sons, all of whom became active and enterprising business men, and most of them masters of vessels. Mr. Snow was mar- ried at Cape Elizabeth, December 6, 1759, to Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Jordan of that place. She died in August, 1835. They were the parents of: Ephraim, Robert, Ambrose, Joanna, Elisha, Israel, Isaac, Polly and Larkin. All of the sons except Elisha bore the title of "Captain" and he was also a master mariner. He was called Elisha "Esquire."


(VI) Captain Ambrose, third son of Rev. Elisha and Elizabeth (Jordan) Snow, was born March 2, 1765, in Harpswell, and settled at South Thomaston. He followed the sea throughout most of his active life and died at sea April II, 1802. He was married about 1787 to Fanny (Campbell) Archibald, who was probably a widow. She was born in 1759 and died December 24, 1842. Their children

were: Robert, Jenny, Campbell (died young), William, Mary, Ambrose and Thomas A. Sev- eral of them were also sea captains.


(VII) Captain Robert, eldest child of Cap- tain Ambrose and Fanny (Campbell) ( Archi- bald) Snow, was born in 1788, in Thomaston, where he lived and where he died, August 28, 1848. He married (first) about 1810 Han- nah Thorndike, of South Thomaston, daughter of Joshua Thorndike, who died before 1828, and he married (second) August 12, of the last-named year, Sarah P. Washburn. There were three children of the first wife and three of the second, namely: Captain Ambrose, Mary Jane, who became the wife of John Bailey; Bethia C., wife of William Oliver Fuller; Captain Robert R., Henry A. and William R. The last died in infancy and the one preceeding in his twenty-sixth year. The other two sons were master mariners.


(VIII) Captain Ambrose (2), eldest child of Robert and Hannah (Thorndike) Snow, was born January 28, 1813, in Thomaston, and received a common school education in that town. At an early age he went to sea with his father and rose to the command of ships, most of them sailing from Thomaston. Dur- ing the busy days of the American merchant marine, he commanded in succession the ships "John Holland," "Leopard," "Leonidas," "John Hancock," "Carack," "Telamon" and "Southampton." The last-named sailed from New York, and Captain Snow was quarter- owner of the vessel, his partner in the owner- ship being James O. Ward, of New York. In 1852 he retired from the sea and the next year established a shipping firm in New York, under the title of Snow & Burgess. He was a very active and well-known citizen of the metropolis, and was elected president of the marine society in 1869, being repeatedly elected to the same position. For many terms he was president of the board of pilot com- missioners and upon his twelfth successive election to the presidency of the New York Board of Trade and Transportation in 1890, he was presented with a magnificent chro- nometer and diamond compass. For seventeen years he was president of the board of trustees of the Sailors' Snug Harbor. Upon the fail- ure of Grant and Ward in 1884, the marine bank, of which Captain Snow was vice-presi- dent, was also drawn into failure, and his testimony was a potent factor in uncovering the illegitimate transactions of Ferdinand Ward. After this Mr. Snow retired from active business. He was coxswain of a barge manned by a crew of ship-masters from the


Marine Society, which rowed President Har- rison ashore at the Washington Centennial Celebration in New York. Considerable his- torical significance attaches to this incident, from the fact that a crew from the same so- ciety rowed General Washington from Eliza- bethport to New York at the time of his in- auguration as first president. Captain Snow passed away at the home of his son in Brook- lyn, June 27, 1895, at the good old age of eighty-two years and six months, and his body was conveyed to Thomaston for burial. He had enjoyed excellent health up till a day previous to his demise. The cause of his death was a paralytic stroke. His funeral at Thomaston was attended by a large number of citizens. On July 8, 1905, the Marine Society of New York adopted a fitting memorial which was beautifully engrossed and presented to his family. On the occasion of his twelfth elec- tion as president of the New York Board of Trade and Transportation he was presented with a finely engrossed testimonial. The sig- natures on these documents constitute a direc- tory of the leading business men of the city at that time. He married, March 16, 1836, Mary Robinson, of Thomaston, who was born January 28, 1813. Their children were : Adelia, Alfred, Dunstan, Louis Thorndike, Richard and William. The daughter died at the age of three years. The last two are de- ceased. Louis T. resides in Alameda, Cali- fornia.


(IX) Alfred Dunstan, eldest son of Cap- tain Ambrose and Mary (Robinson) Snow, was born September 26, 1840, in Thomaston and has been a resident of Brooklyn, New York, since 1851. He received his education in the public schools of the two places and since May, 1857, has been identified with the shipping interests of the port of New York. He is now associated with W. R. Grace & Company, located at Hanover Square, in that city. He was a member of the Twenty-second Regiment, National Guard, State of New York, from January, 1862, to January, 1869, and with that regiment performed service in Virginia and Maryland in the first-named year, and in Pennsylvania in the following year. Mr. Snow is a supporter of the political principles of the Democratic party, but has never participated in the official conduct of affairs. He married, in Rockland, Maine, Oc- tober 16, 1866, Lucy B. Berry, daughter of Major Hiram G. Berry, who was killed at the battle of Chancellorsville, while in command of the second division, third corps, Army of the Potomac, in the civil war.

The name, variously written KILBORN Kilborn, Kilbon, Kilburn, Kil- bourn and Kilbourne, appears in American records from earliest to the pres- ent time. It has been the patronymic of art- ists, soldiers, divines and leaders, as well as workers, in every line of endeavor. Many of

its representatives have been content to pursue quietly their several avocations and have not sought any part in public notice. Most of them have shown evidence of ability and cul- ture, though living in comparative obscurity. (I) The progenitor of this family in Amer- ica was Thomas Kilbourn, who was baptized May 8, 1578, and was warden of the church at Wood Ditton, Cambridgeshire, England, in 1632. His wife's name was Frances and they had a large family of children born in the par- ish of Wood Ditton, eight of the children set- tling in New England. Their second son and third child, George, probably proceeded to America and settled first in Roxbury and about 1640 in Rowley, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He came with his wife and younger children to New England in the ship "Increase," in 1635, having embarked at London, England, April 15, 1635. He settled in Wethersfield, New Haven Colony, and died in that town before 1639, and his widow in 1650. The ship's register describes the immigrant pas- sengers of the "Increase" as: "Thomas, aged fifty-five; Frances, fifty; Margaret, twenty- three; Lydia, twenty-two; Maria, sixteen; Frances, twelve." Of these children, Mar- garet was baptized in the church at Wood Dit- ton, September 23, 1707 ; was married to Rich- ard Law, of Wethersfield, who served the New Haven Colony as representative in the general court, as magistrate, and as commissioner, and after the union of the Hartford and New Haven Colonies as the Connecticut Colony, he held the same offices for many years. He was the pioneer settler of Stamford, Connecticut. The other children were: Thomas, George, Elizabeth, Lydia, Mary, Frances, and John, who is known in the history of Connecticut as Sergeant John Kilbourn.


(II) George, second son of Thomas and Frances Kilbourn, was baptized in Wood Dit- ton, England, February 12, 1612. He came to New England before 1638 and settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony, where he was a member of the church founded by John Eliot in Roxbury. In 1640 he was ad- mitted a freeman of the town of Rowley, Essex county, where he lived with his wife Elizabeth and their six children: Mary, Jo- seph, Jacob, Samuel, Isaac and Elizabeth. They had sons: Isaac, Joseph and Jacob.


(III) Samuel, fourth child and third son of George and Elizabeth Kilborn, was born in Rowley, Massachusetts, 9 mo. II, 1656. He married November 12, 1682, Mary Foster, and they had six children, all born in Rowley: Samuel, David, Maria, Jedediah and Eliphalet.


He died in Rowley, April 22, 1722, and his will is on record in the probate office in Ips- wich.


(IV) Jedediah, son of Samuel and Mary (Foster) Kilborn, was born April 20, 1699, in Rowley. He was married, March 22, 1724, to Susannah Fiske, of Ipswich, Massachusetts. He was known as Cornet Kilbourne by reason of his rank in the militia, and the records state as follows: "Cornet Jedediah Kilbourne died February 4, 1759, aged sixty." His widow, Susannah Kilbourne, died September 27, 1764. Their children, all born in Rowley, were: I. Jedediah, married Hannah Platts, of Rowley, November 4, 1749, removed to Boscawen, New Hampshire, then to Henniker, where he died in 1820. His children were: Nathan, Eliphalet, Lucy, Mercy, Hannah, Jedediah, Nathaniel and Susan. 2. Sampson (q. v.) 3. Abigail, married Jonathan Smith, Esq., of Danvers, Massachusetts, and her son, Jedediah Kilbourne Smith, was a senator and councillor in the New Hampshire legislature for many years, and served from 1807 to 1809 as a representative from New Hampshire in the United States congress. 4. Hannah, born 1734, died 1737.


(V) Sampson, son of Jedediah and Susan- nah (Fiske) Kilbourne, was born about 1723, in Rowley, and was married, April 15, 1749, to Rebecca Pickard. He settled in Rowley, where their four children were born: Paul, John, Rebecca and Huldah. He died May 28, 1751, aged thirty-three.


(VI) Captain John, second son of Sampson and Rebecca (Pickard) Kilbourne, was born June 28, 1750, in Rowley. He was twenty years of age when the Lexington alarm sounded through the countryside and called to arms the patriot yeomen of Middlesex and Essex counties, and he responded and is said to have been among those who marched to- ward Concord and Lexington on that event- ful April day, 1775. As there were three or four of the name credited with this honor, it is likely that some doubt has been the result of a confusion of names. The "Official Records of the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution," however, name him as sec- ond sergeant in Captain Enos Parker's com- pany, Colonel Benjamin Simonds' regiment, engaged August 14, 1777, discharged August 19, 1777, service six days. Regiment de- tached from the Berkshire county militia to reinforce the Continental army at Bennington ; also lieutenant in command of a company, Colonel Simonds' (Berkshire county) regi- ment, engaged October 13, 1780, discharged

October 18, 1780, service seven days, includ- ing two days' ( forty miles) travel home. Com- pany marched to Vermont by order of Gen- eral Fellows, on an alarm. He is semi-offi- cially credited with having been present at the storming of Stony Point, on the Hudson river, at Ticonderoga, receiving promotion to sergeant December, 1777, and captain 1780. That he was a gallant soldier and after the war was a pensioner as late as 1840, is a mat- ter of history in the local annals of Bridgton, Maine, to which place he removed in 1794, and where he died September 8, 1842. He was married in January, 1780, to Mary Howe, of Ipswich, New Hampshire, and first settled at Northwood in that state, remaining a few years, then settling in Bridgton, Maine. The children of Captain John and Mary (Howe) Kilborn were: I. Rebecca, born in Northwood, New Hampshire, February 25, 1781 ; married, July 21, 1801, Stephen Ingalls, of Harrison, Maine, by whom she had six children. 2. John, born in Northwood, New Hampshire, November 16, 1785; settled in Bridgton, Maine, where he is called Colonel John Kil- born. He received his title of colonel for service in the militia in the state of Maine. 3. Mary, died young. 4. Enos, January I, 1785; was a seaman, and last heard from in 1809. 5. William, mentioned below. 6. Ja- cob, born April 5, 1789, died July 2, 1820. 7. Lieutenant Ebenezer, born December 20, 1791, married Lydia G. Ingalls, in 1818, and had six children. 8. Huldah, born 1794, married Alfred Ingalls, in 1818, and had five children. 9. Paul, April 5, 1797, died the next year.
