On June 15, 1850, William B. Newell mar- ried Susannah K., daughter of Benjamin and Charlotte Weeks, who was born May 12, 1827.
Children : Ida E., born January 12, 1852, who has always lived at home; and William H., whose sketch follows.
(V) Hon. William H., only son of William B. and Susannah K. (Weeks) Newell, was born at Durham, Maine, April 16, 1854. His elementary education was gained in the local schools, and his first advanced preparation from the Western State Normal School at Farmington from which he graduated in 1872. He afterward attended the Maine Wesleyan Seminary at Kent's Hill, and receiving the classical diploma from this institution in 1876. During the next six years Mr. Newell was principal of the grammar school at Brunswick, a difficult position, which put all the resources of the young teacher to the test. Besides the satisfaction of wresting success from adverse circumstances, Mr. Newell had one great ad- vantage at this period, and that was the op- portunity to pursue a wide course of study and reading at the library of Bowdoin College. All his spare time was occupied in this way, and in the study of law in the office of Weston Thompson, Esq., and while he was still teach- ing he was admitted to the Sagadahoc county bar at Bath, Maine. In 1882 he gave up his school and removed to Lewiston in order that he might devote his whole time to his profes- sion. At first he formed a partnership with D. J. McGillicuddy and F. X. Belleau, but he soon withdrew from this concern and united himself with Wilbur H. Judkins under the firm name of Newell & Judkins. This arrange- ment lasted till January 1, 1894, when Mr. Newell withdrew and became senior member of the present firm of Newell & Skelton, now recognized as one of the leading law firms of Androscoggin county. Like his father, Mr. Newell belongs to the Democratic party, and though in no sense a politician he has fre- quently been called upon to serve the public. In 1885 he was city auditor of accounts for Lewiston, and in 1890 was made city solicitor. During the latter year he was elected county attorney of Androscoggin county by a large majority in a district which had always been strongly Republican. In the spring of 1891 he was elected mayor of Lewiston and was re- elected the year following. So satisfactory was his administration of civic affairs that in 1898, at the earnest request of taxpayers and representative citizens, he again became a can- didate for mayor on the Democratic ticket. and was elected by a majority of almost four hundred against a Republican majority of nearly a thousand at the previous election. He was elected September, 1904, and took

oath of office January 1, 1905, judge of pro- bate.
Mr. Newell's fidelity to his clients, his strict integrity and executive ability have brought him much business in the way of management of large estates, and while in no way with- drawn from the active duties of an advocate, he enjoys an extensive practice in the dignified and lucrative branch of probate and commer- cial transactions. Incidentally, many legal honors have come to Mr. Newell. He was a delegate from the Maine State Bar Associa- tion to the twenty-first annual convention of the American Bar Association at Saratoga in 1898. About the same time Chief Justice Peters appointed him to membership on the commission to draft a plan for the annexation of the city of Deering to Portland. Mr. New- ell is interested in many important business enterprises. He is president and director of the Manufacturers' National Bank of Lewis- ton, was director and clerk of the Rumford Falls and Rangeley Lakes railroad, president of the Maine Pulp and Paper Company, and was director of the Androscoggin Water Power Company until this company became the E. Plummer & Sons, when Mr. Newell was made president. He is a member of the Board of Trade and of the local social clubs and organizations in Lewiston. Mr. Newell belongs to the Odd Fellows and to all the lo- cal Masonic bodies, and is a member of Kora Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and at- tended the annual convention of Mystic Shriners at Dallas, Texas, in June, 1898, as supreme representative from Maine. Ģener- ous, hospitable and public-spirited to a marked degree, Mr. Newell makes and holds friends in all the walks of life. His kindness of heart is proverbial, and it is so often shown to mem- bers of his own profession that the younger attorneys say that no one who applies to him is ever refused assistance, no matter what im- portant engagements their adviser may have.
On September 20, 1883, William H. Newell married Ida F., daughter of Edward and Au- gusta Plummer, of Lisbon Falls, Maine. Chil- dren: Augusta Plummer, March 17, 1887, de- ceased. Gladys Weeks, October 13, 1890. Dorothy, February 2, 1904.
(IV) Charles C., second son of the Rev. David and Jane S. (Brackett) Newell, was born August II, 1831, at Otisfield, Maine. He was reared in Gray, Maine, attended the Litch- field Academy, after which he taught public school and in addition to this taught writing, having been an excellent penman. His son, Charles D., has the Lord's Prayer written in
eleven different styles executed by his father, which is a piece of art. He settled in Rich- mond, Maine, before the civil war, where he engaged in the livery business. September 15, 1862, he enlisted in Company A, Twenty- fourth Maine Volunteer Infantry, went out as. first lieutenant and commanded the company during its term of service, and in July, 1863, he was killed in his tent at Port Hudson by an insane man who thrust a bayonet through him. He was a Baptist in religion and a Republican in politics. Mr. Newell married, 1857, Juliette, born in Bowdoin, Maine, 1840, died April 27, 1900, daughter of Humphrey and Harriet ( Brown) Purington, natives of Bowdoin ; sev- en children, all now deceased, as follows: Humphrey, John, Abizer, Ellen, Jane, Juliette and Angie. Mr. Purington was a farmer and justice of the peace ; he was a man of standing in the community, to whom people looked for settlement of disputes and estates. Mr. and Mrs. Newell had two children: I. Harriet, who married George Merriman; no children; she died November 20, 1886. 2. Charles D., see forward.
(V) Charles D., only son of Charles C. and Juliette (Purington) Newell, was born in Richmond, Maine, November 20, 1860. When four years of age he went with his widowed mother to Litchfield, where he resided until twenty years of age, receiving there a common school education, which was supplemented by attendance at the Litchfield Academy. He then returned to Richmond and entered the law office of Spaulding & Buker and read law, being admitted to practice in 1884. The fol- lowing year he began the active practice of his profession on his own account, and has since continued in Richmond, succeeding in building up and retaining the largest practice in that city. Mr. Newell is a Republican in politics, and has held many of the offices in the gift of the citizens of his town. Member of the board of health, of which he was chairman for a number of years ; town clerk ; member of the school board and superintendent for many years; county attorney of Sagadahoc county, Maine, fourteen years, and a member of Gov- ernor Cobb's council. He attends the Baptist church. His fraternal affiliations include mem- bership in Richmond Lodge, No. 63, A. F. and' A. M., Dunlap Commandery, K. T., Sagadahoc Lodge, K. of P., No. 67, Mount Carmel Chap- ter, Order of Eastern Star, and a charter mem- ber of Woodmen of America and Forresters of America.

WINSLOW The original home of the Winslows of America was in Worcestershire, England.
They were among the earliest families emi- grating to this country. The family was dis- tinguished by a remarkable intellectual ability, a son of the emigrant Edward becoming the first native born general and first governor of the Massachusetts Colony, and in many impor- tant trusts acquitted himself with superior ability and was active and influential in all the initiatory labors attending the establishment of the little colony. In the covenant, signed before the disembarking, the name appears third on the list. The family generally has maintained a high reputation for its excellent qualities of mind and heart, and enjoyed in a large degree not only the esteem and confi- dence but honors of its fellow citizens. Ed- ward Winslow, the third governor of Plym- outh Colony, was born in Droitwich, Worces- tershire, England, October 19, 1595. He came to this country in the "Mayflower" in 1620 from Southampton. He had previously joined the pilgrims at Leyden, Holland, and em- barked with them from Delfthaven for Eng- land. He was the principal leader of the pil- grims at Plymouth, Massachusetts. He mar- ried (first) Elizabeth Marker, of Leyden, May 16, 1618, who died March 24, 1621 ; and (sec- ond) Mrs. Susanna (Fuller) White, widow
of William White, May 12. 1621, and died at sea near Hispaniola, May 8, 1655. His second wife died October, 1680. Their children were : Edward, John, Elynor, Kenelm, Gilbert, Eliza- beth, Magdalen and Josias. Only one of his sons grew to maturity, and his descendants in the male line soon disappeared.
(I) Edward Winslow and his wife, Mag- dalen (Oliver) Winslow, were residents of Droitwich, Worcestershire, England, and sev- eral of their sons came to America. One of these, John, came in the "Fortune," in 1621, and another came later and settled at Plym- outh.
(II) Kenelm, son of Edward and Magdalen (Oliver) Winslow, was born in England, April 30, 1599. He emigrated to this country and settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, about 1629, and was made a freeman January I, 1633. He removed to Marshfield, Massachu- setts, in 1641, having received a grant of land
there, then called Green's Harbor, March 5, 1638, which was then considered the "Eden of the Region." He was a "Joiner" and a "Planter." He represented the town in the general court for eight years, 1624-44 and 1649-53. He was a man of "good condition," and was engaged in the settlement of Yar- mouth and other towns. He married, June, 1664, Ellen (Newton) Adams, widow of John Adams, of Plymouth, and died in Salem, Mas- sachusetts, September 12, 1672. His widow died at Marshfield, Massachusetts, December 5, 1681, aged eighty-three. Children : I. Kenelm, mentioned further below. 2. Ellen, born about 1638, married, December 29, 1656, Samuel Barker, and died August 27, 1676. 3. Nathaniel, born about 1639, died December I, 1719. 4. Job.
(III) Kenelm (2), eldest son of Kenelm (I) and Eleanor or Ellen (Newton) (Adams) Winslow, was born in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony, about 1635. He early removed to Cape Cod and settled in that part of Yar- mouth which was subsequently incorporated as the town of Hardwich and later known as Brewster. He built a house near the westerly border of the town, and now known as West Brewster Satucket or Winslow's Mills. We find him mentioned in the Yarmouth records as early as 1668, and in the list of freemen of Yarmouth in 1678 he is styled "Colonel Win- slow," and in recorded deeds he is called yeo- man and planter. He purchased large tracts of wild land in what became the town of Rochester, Massachusetts, on which tract sev- eral of his children settled. He was one of the "thirty partners" who purchased the tract in 1679. Among his portions was a good "water privilege," which he sold in 1699 to his son Kenelm, and it thus became the site of one of the first fulling mills erected in New Eng- land, and in 1877 it was owned by his great- great-great-grandson, William Winslow (7), of West Brewster, Massachusetts. In 1700 he purchased of George Denison, of Stonington, Connecticut, one thousand acres of land in Windham, located in that part of the town which was set off as the town of Mansfield, Connecticut, paying for the same as recorded by deed on file in the record of Mansfield and dated March II, 1700, for which one thousand acres he paid £30, and this land he gave to his son Samuel (3), October 7, 1700, and Samuel sold it to his brother Kenelm (3) (q. v.). It does not appear from the records that the Winslows ever lived in Windham or Mansfield, Connecticut, and the land probably passed in- to other hands. Like his father, Kenelm Jr.

appears to have incurred the displeasure of the general court of Plymouth Colony, and he was fined on October 3, 1662, "for riding a journey on the Lord's day although he pleaded some disappointment enforced him thereunto, ten shillings." His religious faith, however, was not to be doubted when we learn that he on three or more occasions made the journey of sixty miles to Scituate to the Second Church that his children should not remain un- baptized.
He was married September 23, 1667, to Mercy, daughter of Peter Jr. and Mary Wor- den, of Yarmouth. She was born about 1641 and died September 22, 1688, "in the 48th year of her age," as recorded on her grave- stone in the Winslow burial ground in Dennis. The monument is of hard slate and is said to have been brought from England and is the oldest in the grounds. The headstones of Kenelm Winslow, his two sons and many of his descendants are to be seen. He died in Harwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Novem- ber II, 1715. The children of Kenelm and Mercy (Worden) Winslow are recorded as follows: I. Kenelm (q. v.). 2. Captain Jo- siah, born November 7, 1669, married Mar- garet Tisdale; (second) Mrs. Hannah Win- slow ; (third) Mrs. Hannah Booth; (fourth) Martha Hathaway ; (fifth) Mary Jones. 3 Thomas, baptized March 3, 1672-73, in the Second Church, Scituate, and died April 6, 1689, "in the 17th year of her age." 4. Sam- uel, born about 1674, married Bethia Hol- brook; (second) Mary King; (third) Ruth Briggs. 5. Mercy, born about 1676, married Melthiah White, of Rochester, Massachusetts, who died August 21, 1709; married ( second), before December 22, 1715, Thomas Jenkins, of Barnstable. 6. Nathaniel, born about 1679, married, July 9, 1701, Elizabeth Holbrook. 7. Edward, born January 30, 1680-81, married Sarah born 1682; he died June 25, 1760. 8.

(IV) Kenelm (3), eldest son of Kenelm (2) and Mercy (Worden) Winslow, was bap- tized at Scituate, Massachusetts, August 9, 1668. He was a clothier or cloth dresser, which business he established at Satucket or Winslow's Mills, and the business thus inaugu- rated was carried on by his descendants for
many years. He inherited the homestead at Harwich, and purchased of his brother Sam- uel one thousand acres of land at Windham (now Mansfield), Connecticut, which Samuel had received as a gift from his father, October 7, 1700. He was town treasurer at Harwich 1707-12; selectman 1713-16; representative to the general court in 1720, and held many po- sitions of trust to lay off lands and determine bounds. He owned "Negro and Mulatto serv- ants," which his will provided should be sold. He had second choice in the allotment of pews in the new meeting house in 1723, and was rated £7, 10 toward the £130 realized from the sale. He was sole executor of his father's will and inherited the homestead. He was married January 5, 1689-90, to Bethia, daugh- ter of the Rev. Gershom and Bethiah ( Bangs) Hall, of Yarmouth, and great-granddaughter of Edward Bangs, of Plymouth, a passenger in the "Ann" in 1623. She was published March 19, 1729-30, to Joseph Hawes, and they were married March 21, 1729-30, and Joseph Hawes was married again July 20, 1732, and the records would indicate, in-the absence of divorce, not known to be popular in that day, that she died before the latter date. Her first husband, Kenelm Winslow, died in Harwich, March 20, 1728-29. Children of Kenelm and Bethia (Hall) Winslow were all born in Har- wich and were as follows : I. Bethia, born about 1691, married, March 5, 1712-13, John Wing, and died June 19, 1720. 2. Mercy, about 1693, married, March 8, 1710-II, Philip Vin- cent and resided in Yarmouth in 1723. 3.

Harwich, Massachusetts, about 1700. He was a clothier, following the business of his father, and he established a fulling mill on Stony brook about 1730, and he also succeeded to the homestead in Harwich and was sole execu- tor of his father's will. His prominence in the affairs of the town made him one of the thirteen justices who signed the following declaration against the acts of parliament al- most two years before the signing of the Dec- laration of Independence : "Whereas there has been of late several acts of the British Parlia- ment passed tending to introduce an unjust and partial administration of justice; to change our free constitution into a state of slavery and oppression, and to introduce Popery in some parts of British America &c. : Therefore we the subscribers do engage and declare that we will not accept of any com- mission in consequence of, or in conformity to, said acts of Parliament, nor upon any uncon- stitutional regulations ; and that if either of us is required to do any business to our officers in conformity to said acts or any way contrary to the charter of this province, we will refuse it although we may thereby lose our commis- sions. As witness our hands at Barnstable, September 27, 1774.
