and Eliza C. (Crowell) Winslow, all born in West Waterville, Maine, were : I. and 2. Abby Snow and Sarah Crowell (twins), born March 13, 1843, died in December, 1847, one week intervening between their deaths. 3. Hiram Crowell, January 18, 1844, enlisted in the Twenty-first Maine Regiment and served under General' N. P. Banks in Louisiana and Texas and in the battle of Port Hudson; he entered as sergeant in his company and came out in command of same, all his superior offi- cers being either killed or disabled; on re- tiring from the war he became a harness ma- ker and trunk dealer in West Waterville. He died June 3, 1902. 4. Eliza Florence, born June 8, 1845, married, September 3, 1868, William Harrison Wheeler, son of Erastus O. and Ruth Marston Wheeler; he was a house carpenter in West Waterville. 5. Chester Eugene Alfred (q. v.).
(IX) Chester Eugene Alfred, son of Alfred and Eliza C. (Crowell) Winslow, was born in West Waterville, now Oakland, Maine, April 24, 1847. He was educated in the public schools of Oakland, and he learned the trade of harness maker in the shops of his brother, Hiram C. Winslow, in Oakland, and remained with him for six years, when he became a partner in the general merchandising house of A. Winslow & Company. Later his broth- er, Hiram C., consolidated his business with that of A. Winslow & Company, continuing the business of manufacturing and merchan- dising under the same firm name, A. Winslow & Company, until the death of H. C. Winslow, since which time Chester E. A. Winslow has conducted it. He early joined the Messou- louskee Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and was advanced to membership in the Drummond Chapter. His church affilia- tion is with the Universalists, in which church his father was clerk and deacon. He was mar- ried October 16, 1878, to Alice Hitchings, daughter of Benjamin C. and Lucy ( Hitch- ings) Benson, and their only child is Arthur Eugene, born in Oakland, November 13, 1884, graduated at Dartmouth College in the class of 1907, and now employed by the Fort Halifax Power Company at Winslow, Maine. He is the ninth generation from Kenelm Winslow, the immigrant ancestor who came to Plymouth Colony with his brother, Governor Edward Winslow, in the "Mayflower" in 1620.

minded and talented members in the person- ages of Josias and Edward Winslow, who were governors of the Plymouth Colony, New Eng- land. Josias was the father of Edward.
(I) Thomas Winslow was among the early settlers at Freeport, Maine, where for many years he followed ship-building on an exten- sive scale. The records of this special branch of the family have not been carefully pre- served. It is not known to whom he was mar- ried, but it is quite certain that he had six children, among whom was a son Joseph.
(II) Joseph, son of Thomas Winslow, was probably born in Freeport, Maine, and learned the ship carpenter's trade from his father, who was a ship-builder. Later in life, however, he settled on a farm, which he operated him- self. He married (first) Lucinda Mitchell, by whom the following children were born : Dennis, Horace, Clara, and possibly others. For his second wife Mr. Winslow married Helen Bennet ; no issue.
(III) Dennis, eldest child of Joseph and Lucinda (Mitchell) Winslow, was born in Freeport, Maine, October 21, 1847. He se- cured his early education in the public schools, and at the age of seventeen years commenced to learn the trade of carpenter. After master- ing his trade he moved to Yarmouth, where he was a carpenter and builder many years. As age advanced, and his circumstances were such that he did not need to pursue his trade longer, he sought the more independent and retiring life of a farmer. He married Sarah Ellen Mayhew, of Portland, Maine, by whom he had thirteen children, as follows: Lucy A., Edith L., Bert H., died aged five years ; Lot- tie M., Charles D., Perlie E., of whom further notice is made ; Sarah Emma, Carrie O., died aged nineteen years; Mary A., Meldon E., Raymond A., deceased; Ernest, deceased ; Hattie, deceased.
(IV) Perlie E., sixth child and third son of Dennis and Sarah Ellen ( Mayhew) Win- slow, was born in Cumberland, Maine, March 9, 1881, and received his education at the public schools of Yarmouth. When nineteen years of age he began learning the drug busi- ness and had so far mastered it in June, 1908, that he was fully competent to conduct a busi- ness for himself, and purchased the drug store belonging to A. W. Keirstead, at Lisbon Falls, Maine, which he is now operating in an up- to-date manner. Mr. Winslow is numbered among the honored and active members of the Masonic, Knights of Pythias and Royal Arca- num civic societies. In his religious faith he is a Congregationalist, while in politics he
votes an independent ticket, seeking out the most suitable man instead of adhering to strict party lines. He married, June 27, 1906, Car- rie B., daughter of Edwin R. and Carrie ( Ba- ker ) Humphrey. They have one child, Elean- or, born August 1, 1907.
WINSLOW
A traveler who recently saw the coast of Maine from the
deck of a steamer for the first time was filled with wonder at the new villages which had sprung up like magic, and at the rows of cottages and hotels on beaches, headlands and islands. "I have seen nothing like this, though I have visited many lands," he said. "What is the reason of it all, for evidently these people have abundant means to go elsewhere if they wished to do so?" "Oh, the Pine Tree State has always had a magnet- ic coast," was the reply. "It drew thither many of the early explorers from the fairer lands to the south. Though early settlements were laid waste by the Indians, and the rigors of the climate were exaggerated across the seas, people continued to be drawn here as by a magnet. And when the Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth, and other sturdy men and women had seemed well content with their choices of locations along the shores of other states, these people, or their children, felt themselves drawn irresistibly to our Maine shores. And when they came they clung like the barnacles to the rocks. 'The strength of Maine history lies in its magnetic shores.'" The speaker had thus turned to pages of glowing interest which the student of Maine history reads with growing wonder and inter- est. It is a fact of great worth that every "Mayflower" family of strength sent repre- sentatives to our shores. A descendant of Myles Standish was early on the shores of the Kennebec near Bath. Harpswell had her Eatons of noblest stock. The Soules early "sought the pleasant shores of Freeport." Sev- eral members of the Hoplins family sought the coast of Cumberland county and the Pen- obscot. But the descendants of Edward Win- slow, the third governor of Plymouth Colony, came in larger numbers to ancient Falmouth, and to other points, than any other Pilgrim family, and held fast to their faith and manly and womanly qualities with a strong grasp. Maine owes much to this "God-fearing Plym- outh stock."
(I) Samuel Winslow was born November 26, 1767, and married Susannah Lewis, who was born March 24, 1767, and died October 30, 1871. Their children were: I. William,

(II) Eli, son of Samuel and Susannah (Lewis) Winslow, was born in what is now called West Falmouth, Maine, May 31, 1801, and died in Dexter, Maine, August 11, 1876. He was born in the house which was used for many years as a hotel, and which still stands, near the old Blackstrap observatory. He learned the chairmaker's trade in Portland and followed the business for a number of years in New Gloucester. He removed to Dexter about the year 1829, being one of the early settlers of that town. He married Polly Adams, a direct descendant of John and Pris- cilla (Molines) Alden. Their children were : I.

He was educated in the public schools of Dexter, and learned the trade of painter and decorator, which trade his father fol- lowed to some extent. Samuel followed this trade all his life and was considered one of the finest workmen in the state. He had a wonderful ability for grasping the details of any mechanical work, especially anything per- taining to the building trades, and knew exact- ly how work ought to be done, even though he might not be able to do it himself. He also had a remarkable memory for events con- nected with the early history of Dexter, and has given able assistance in collecting together some of the early historical records of the town. In politics he was a very strong Re- publican, and as he had a very impressive and convincing manner of giving his views among all classes of men, he became a very influential man, and his sentiments were all the more forceful when it was found that nothing could induce him to seek after an office of any kind. He married Sarah Parker, daughter of Rich- ard York and Sarah Parker (Thompson) Lane, of Ripley. Their children were: I. Waldo Rist, born June 29, 1855, now lives in
Dexter. 2. Herbert Stanley, April 13, 1857, died February 18, 1902. 3. Mary Louise, January 20, 1859, married H. N. Goodhue, of Fort Fairfield, in 1882. 4.

(IV) John Bates, son of Samuel Adams and Sarah Parker (Lane) Winslow, was born February 15, 1869. He was educated in the public schools of Dexter, graduating from the high school in 1888. For a number of years he followed his father's business, and in 1895. entered the office of Dr. F. O. Cobb in Port- land to study dentistry. He attended the Philadelphia Dental College, graduating from that institution in 1899. After graduating he worked with Dr. Cobb until June, 1904, when he opened an office in Westbrook, and now enjoys a very good dental practice. In poli- tics he has always been a Republican. He is a Mason, being a member of Temple Lodge, No. 86, of Westbrook, and also of Eagle Royal Arch Chapter, and Westbrook Council of Royal and Select Masters. He is also a mem- ber of Westbrook Lodge, No. 27, Knights of Pythias. He married, June II, 1895, Ida El- len, daughter of Jesse A. and Ellen (Sher- burne) Fuller, who was born in West Gardi- ner. She is an active worker in the Univer- salist church and also in the Eastern Star, being a member of Mizpah Chapter, No. 3, and also a member of Calanthe Temple, Pyth- ian Sisters. Their children are: I. Kath- erine May, born July 6, 1899. 2. John Clif- ford, July 24, 1901. 3. Annie Louise, March 18, 1907.
WESTON The Weston or Wesson family is of ancient English origin, the founder having come to. England with William the Conqueror, from whom he received valuable estates in Stafford- shire and elsewhere for his services. The coat-of-arms had the motto "Craignez honte."
(I) John Weston, immigrant ancestor, was born in 1631, in Buckinghamshire, England, and died about 1723. About 1644, when only thirteen years old, his father being dead, he sailed as a stowaway in a ship bound for America. He settled in Salem, Massachusetts, where in 1648, at the age of eighteen, he was a member of the First Church. About 1653 he

removed to that part of Reading now known as Wakefield, and accumulated one of the largest estates in the town, his lands adjoin- ing the Meeting House Square and extending southerly. He was captain of a trading ves- sel and made several voyages to England. He was a Puritan, very earnest in his piety, and his gravestone in the Reading graveyard shows that he was one of the founders of the church there. He served in King Philip's war. He married, April 18, 1653, Sarah, daughter of Deacon Zachariah and Mary Fitch, of Reading, and this is the first marriage in Reading of which there is any record. Chil- dren : 1.

(III) Stephen, son of John (2) Weston, was born in Reading, December 1, 1693, died December 28, 1780. He removed to Concord about 1726 and lived in what is now Lincoln. The name was more generally called Wesson in Concord, though that spelling was common in all branches of the family in the early rec- ords. He was one of the founders of the Lincoln church in 1747. His brother Timothy was also a charter member. Stephen was the first treasurer, elected in 1746. The church was formally organized August 18, 1747.

(IV) Joseph, son of Stephen Weston, was born in Concord, March 7, 1732. About 1769 he removed to Lancaster and shortly after- ward went to Maine. Peter Heywood, Jo- seph Weston and Isaac Smith were the pioneer settlers of that part of old Canaan, now Skow- hegan, Maine. Peter Heywood and Joseph Weston came first in the early fall of 1771 with some of the boys and bringing some young cattle. They cut hay on some of the adjacent islands that had been cleared by the Indians, built a camp and left two of the boys, Eli Weston and Isaac Smith, to spend the winter and care for the cattle. The location was eighteen miles above Winslow, the near- est settlement, to which place the boys made one visit during the long winter. Weston was so late in starting from Massachusetts with his family that he could not get up the river, so they stopped in Dresden until January, then moved on to Fort Halifax, and the last of April, 1772, "we got to my own house." They located about two miles and a half below Skowhegan Falls near the islands, so that by cultivating the land on the islands and cutting, burning and clearing small tracts on the shore, they were able to raise a sufficient crop for their needs. Heywood probably came with his family the summer of 1772. His farm includ- ed the Leighton and Abram Wyman farms on the south river road, Skowhegan, and Wes- ton's was below. Joseph Weston traded in a small way, carried on his farm, and worked at his trade as a tailor when occasion offered. In 1775, when Arnold's forces went up the river on their way to Quebec, Weston and two of his sons, Eli and William, assisted in get- ting the boats from their settlement up the river, over Skowhegan and Norridgewock Falls. From this hardship and exposure he took a severe cold, and died October 16, 1775. He married, in 1756, Eunice, daughter of Aaron and Hannah (Barron) Farnsworth. Children: 1. Joseph, born January 17, 1757, died March 22, 1838; married Sarah Emery. 2. Samuel, January 17, 1757 (twin), men- tioned below. 3.

He was appointed by the general government in 1798 assessor of direct taxes. He surveyed Bingham's Purchase of a million acres, the Androscoggin river up as far as "Livermore's town" and forty or fifty miles of the lower Kennebec. He was agent for the Plymouth company and had charge of land for various men living in Massachusetts. He also kept a country store.

(VI) John Whitney, son of Samuel Wes- ton, was born in Canaan, now Skowhegan, Maine, March 27, 1793, died October 9, 1878. In 1819 he purchased the interest in the saw mill of his cousin, Cyrus Weston, and contin- ued lumbering all his life. Owning timber lands in the Dead river region, he was the first man to cut spruce timber to run down the Kennebec river for the market, and did an extensive business sending rafts of pine boards down the river to Augusta. In poli-
tics he was a Whig, and in religion a Univer- salist. He married, in 1821, Sarah Parker Walker, born in Bedford, New Hampshire, February 4, 1800, died January 15, 1845, daughter of William and Lydia ( Martin) Walker, who came from Derry, New Hamp- shire, to Madison.

(VII) Levi Wyman, son of John Whitney Weston, was born October 9, 1824, on Skow- hegan Island, in the old mill house on the mill lot near the sawmill. He received his ed- ucation at the public schools and at Bloom- field Academy, and afterward worked for his father in the mill. In the spring of 1841, at the age of seventeen, he went to Moosehead Lake to drive logs, and continued to drive logs every spring until 1847, having charge of crews and sections of the main river drive. In 1844 he helped build the starch mill at Skowhegan, and superintended the making of starch for three seasons until the potato rot destroyed the business. In 1847 he went to Lowell, Massachusetts, and found work in a machine shop, where he remained two years. Returning to Skowhegan in May, 1849, he es- tablished the first permanent machine shop there, which he conducted for six years. He then bought the foundry of Lemuel Fletcher, which he run in connection with the machine shop, enlarging and rebuilding the plant. In 1855 he sold half the interest in the business to Amos H. Fletcher, and the firm of Weston & Fletcher continued until 1858, when he sold his remaining interest. In November, 1858, he went to New Orleans and visited Logtown, Mississippi, where he assisted his brother Henry to rebuild his steam sawmill, which had been burned. He returned to Skowhegan and in December, 1860, bought out his younger brother, I. S. Weston, who owned half the

sawmill and lumber business at Skowhegan, in company with his father, the business being continued under the firm name of J. W. & L. WV. Weston. In July, 1866, his father sold his interests to Colonel William F. Baker, of Mos- cow, Maine, and the firm became Weston & Baker. In November, 1871, Mr. Weston bought out his partner's interests, and contin- ued alone until November, 1880, when he took into partnership his stepson, Charles M. Brain- ard, and the firm was Weston & Brainard. The firm bought the carding and cloth dress- ing mill of Benjamin and Calvin Stinchfield in 1884, which added greatly to their water power, and continued to enlarge their plant and improve the business until the death of Mr. Brainard in 1893. The following April Mr. Weston bought of the estate the interests of his former partner, and continued the busi- ness until 1897, when he sold to the Skow- hegan Electric Light Company. Mr. Weston has always been a Republican in politics, and has taken a keen interest in the affairs of the town. He served as selectman and on the school committee of Bloomfield. When the towns of Bloomfield and Skowhegan were united, he was elected the first school agent for the united district No. I, serving alto- gether about twenty years on the school com- mittee in both towns. He has served on the building committees for erecting many of the public buildings in Skowhegan, and has been connected with a number of corporations. He is president of the Somerset Building and Loan Association, a director of the Savings Bank of Skowhegan, and the Skowhegan Wa- ter Company, and trustee of the Bloomfield Academy Fund and of the public library.
He married (first), February 15, 1853, Sophia Wyman Walker, who died June 13, 1858.
