He prac- ticed medicine in Monroe, Maine, until the spring of 1864, when he enlisted as assistant surgeon in the Twenty-ninth Maine Regiment in the civil war. His regiment was sent to Washington, D. C., and took part in the battle of Winchester. It was reorganized after this battle and sent to Savannah, Georgia, and later to South Carolina, where it was located until February, 1866. He was then mustered out with the rank of first lieutenant and brevet captain. He at once located at Winterport, Maine, where for a period of nineteen years he practiced medicine. Since 1885 he has practiced in Bangor, ranking among the lead- ers of his profession in that section of the state. Has been on the medical staff of the Eastern Maine General Hospital since 1893.

professor of pathology in the University of Virginia, a fellow student at Johns Hopkins ; he is now professor of pathology at University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, where they reside. They have one child, Elizabeth, born October II, 1908.
The original place of settle-
EVERETT ment of the earliest immi- grants of the name Everett was Kittery (1640). Others of this name lived at Reading and Dedham, Massachusetts, the latter placc being a notable seat of the family. The Everetts of this sketch, however, seem to be descended from a later scttler from England.
(I) A man named Everett whose baptismal name was probably John accompanied the Al- len family, which settled at Gouldsborough Point in the town of Gouldsborough. They probably removed from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, or the vicinity of that place. Mr. Everett may have come into this country re- cently, as there is a tradition among the old inhabitants of Gouldsborough that he was called "the little Englishman." He may have been a drum major, and evidently died quite young while fighting Indians in the west, per- haps in Ohio. At the time of his death his family was in straitened circumstances, as ap- pears from the fact that his children were sep- arated and brought up in different families in the neighborhood of their residence. John Everett married a Miss Allen, of the family with which he went to Gouldsborough. After her husband's death Mrs. Everett married a Mr. Chilcott, from Iron Bound Island, Mt. Desert, who was the grandfather of James Chilcott, long time editor of the Ellsworth American. Mr. Chilcott was living in Sulli- van in 1838. The children of John Everett were : John, Henry, Mary and Hannah.
(II) Henry was the second son of John Everett. The date of his death is not known. After the death of his father and the separa- tion of the family, Henry Everett became a member of a family named Moore, who lived at Prospect Harbor, by whom he was brought up. At a meeting of the freeholders and in- habitants of Gouldsborough, August 26, 1793, the following record was made: "Upon the constable's notification, Henry Everett was drawn to serve on the petit jury to be holden at Penobscot on the third Tuesday of Sep- tember next." April 7, 1794, Henry Everett was elected one of the hogreeves of Goulds- borough. June 14, 1794, Henry Everett's highway tax was assessed at five shillings.
April, 1794, his tax was two shillings, two and one-half pence; in March the same; No- vember 5, 1795, his state tax was twenty-eight cents, and his town tax and county tax each the same. September 1, 1796, in another dis- trict his highway tax was $1.89; and Novem- ber 7 of the same year his state and town tax were twenty-eight cents each. It appears from the record of the commitments of highway taxes (1795) that he resided in ( Abijah) Cole's Ward, which included territory between Prospect Mill and the country road. In 1828, or the following year, Henry Everett went with Captain Samuel Hadlock, Stevc and Obed Clark to St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland, in a vessel called the "Minerva." As nothing was ever heard of the vessel, it is supposed that she was lost with all on board. June 6, 1813, Henry Everett and Sally (Sarah) Cole, born March 1, 1793, were married by Thomas Hill, Esq. Her parents were Abijah and Nancy ( Williams) Cole. Abijah Cole was a revolu- tionary soldier. The children of Henry and Sally were: Henrietta, Timothy, Charlotte, Clement, Eliza Ann and George Henry.
(III) Timothy, eldest son and second child of Henry and Sally (Cole) Everett, was born in Prospect Harbor, Maine, October 30, 1819, and sailed from Portland as captain of the barque "Louise" March 4, 1869. The vessel was lost with all on board. He was a sea captain, and when home resided in Bath from 1845 till 1869. He married, September 4, 1845, at Portland, Sarah Love, born in Port- land, February 27, 1825, daughter of John Bradley and Harriet (Bagley) Hudson, of Portland. The children of this union were five, two boys dying in infancy: Ella Mar- guerita, Annie Hay, Edward Sewall.
(IV) Edward Sewall, third son and fifth child of Timothy and Sarah Love (Hudson) Everett, was born in Bath, November 4, 1855, and was educated in the public schools of that city. In 1871, being then sixteen years of age, he entered the employ of W. F. Phillips & Company of Portland, wholesale dealers in drugs and medicines, and from that time till now he has been with the same establishment, in which firm he was admitted partner. After three years Mr. Phillips' interest in the busi- ness was purchased by the other members of the firm and April, 1884, the name of the firm was changed to Cook, Everett & Pennell. Mr. Everett's energies have always been directed to the advancement of the business in which he has been employed ; and in all the fifty-two years of his life, thirty-six of which he has been in business, he has never been a member

of a secret society. In politics he is a Re- publican, but he has never considered his du- ties to the public required of him anything beyond the casting of his vote and the example of good citizenship. He married, September 3, 1879, Lena Marston Josselyn (see Marston VIII), who was born May 27, 1857, daughter of William Harrison and Mary (Marston) Josselyn, of Phillips. They have one child, Harold Josselyn, born October 12, 1883.
This name is traced in Eng- MARSTON lish history to the time of the
Conquest. A Marston of no-
ble lineage, the commander of an army corps, came over to England with William the Con- queror in 1066; and for his military services in the Conquest he was granted large estates in Yorkshire, wherein is situated "Marston Moor," the famous battlefield. Edward de Marston and John de Marston are mentioned in English records of the thirteenth century. In 1497, when Sir William Frost was mayor of York, William Marston was one of his two sheriffs. John Marston (1575-1634), a fa- mous dramatic writer, was imprisoned by King James I for satirizing the Scotch people in one of his plays. The original traits of the Hamp- ton Marstons are firmness, faithfulness, piety and perseverance; and even now these are ruling principles in this family of which men of high reputation and great professional at- tainments are found in many of the states.
(I) Captain William Marston, a native of England, was born about 1592, and tradition makes Yorkshire the county of his birth. He came to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1631, with his family and was probably accompanied by his two brothers, Robert and John. He re- sided in Salem about five years, receiving a grant of land from the general court in 1636, but soon after went to Newbury for a short time, thence in October to Winnecunnet, where he with fifty-four others settled on lands granted them by the general court. They called their place of settlement Hampton (Norfolk county), now in New Hampshire, after the English home of a part of the set- tlers, and by this name it was incorporated. "Land was granted him as early as June 30, 1640," says one authority, "and it is probable that a house lot had been assigned him ear- lier." He lived near the present site of the town house. He was a kind-hearted, benevo- lent and godly man, a Quaker, and suffered persecutions for aiding and harboring his dis- tressed brethren, and was robbed by exorbitant fines. October 14, 1657, William Marston pe-
titioned the court at Hampton for the remis- sion of a fine of fifteen pounds, which had been imposed on him for having in his possession two books which taught Quaker doctrines. He died at Hampton, June 30, 1672, aged about eighty years. Some time before his death he made a will which he subscribed with his mark. The inventory of his estate amount- ed to £123 IO shillings; and his debts were £20. There are reasons for believing that he had a wife living in 1651, and that she died not many years afterward. At his death he left a widow named Sabina, who was the executrix of his will. She had borne him one child, but it is evident that his other children were by a former marriage. His widow mar- ried (second) John Redman. His children, the first three born in England, were: Thom- as, William, John, Prudence and Tryphena.
(II) Thomas, eldest child of Captain Will- iam Marston, was born in England (prob- ably Yorkshire) about May or June, 1617, and came in 1630 to Salem, Massachusetts, with his father, whom he accompanied to Newbury and later to Hampton. He died in the last named town September 28, 1690, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He set- tled on an estate where his lineal descendant, Jeremiah Marston, lately resided, which had descended to him in a direct line from Thomas through Ephraim, Jeremiah (I), Jeremiah (2). The provincial records show him to have been capable and highly esteemed, and promi- nent in the town business affairs. Thomas Marston married, in 1647, Mary Eston (Eas- ton or Eastow), a daughter of William Eston. The children born to this union were: Isaac, John, Bethiah, Ephraim, James, Caleb, Mary, Hannah and Sarah.
(III) Ephraim, fourth child and third son of Thomas and Mary (Easton) Marston, was born in Hampton, New Hampshire, August 8, 1654 (O. S.), and died of cancer, October 10, 1742. He lived on the homestead devised to him in his father's will. He was a farmer, and had an orchard with a variety of fruits, even at that early day. He was also a brewer, and had his malt house in the meeting house green, nearly opposite his residence. His will and deeds afford evidence of large holdings of real estate. He deeded each of his sons a farm and settled them in life, conveying to Jeremiah the homestead and brewery. He was one of the most distinguished citizens of the town; he was representative to the general court several years; was a government con- tractor ; and his name appears often in pro- vincial documents. He married, February 19.

1677, Abial Sanborn, daughter of Lieutenant John and Mary ( Frick) Sanborn. She was born February 25, 1653, and died January 3, 1743. Their children were: Abial, Mary, John, Simon, Phebe, Thomas, Jeremiah, Ephraim and Abial (second). The marriage of the first Abial, the eldest child, so displeased her father that he disowned her for some years ; and on the birth of his youngest daugh- ter named her Abial. But later father and daughter were reconciled and in his will he gives his "beloved daughter Abial Green one feather bed or £4 money." This will was "signed and sealed" "in the reign of King George II, 9th year, Jan. 13, 1736, A. D."
(IV) Simon, fourth child and second son of Ephraim and Abial (Sanborn) Marston, was born October 10, 1683, and settled in Hampton. He died May 4, 1735. He was a prosperous farmer, highly respected and a prominent citizen. He married, January 26, 1705, Hannah Carr, daughter of James and Mary (Sears) Carr, of Newbury, Massachu- setts. Their children were: Jonathan, Sarah, Daniel, Deborah and Simon.
(V) Captain Daniel, third child and second son of Simon and Hannah (Carr) Marston, was born September 13, 1708. He resided in North Hampton on a farm given him by his father. He was a captain in the English Co- lonial army during the French war and served in Canada and in Nova Scotia with General Loudon. The record of his death in his fam- ily Bible is as follows: "This Bible of Daniel Marston. In the year 1757 in the month of November a Freyda ye eleventh about eight of the clock in ye eavening at in the province of the Meassites at the howse of John Taylor as innholder, and buried Sunday at the burying-place of the meeting house, aged fifty yeaires in the month of September the fourteenth." Recorded June 26, 1765. He married (first), January 1, 1732, Anna Win- gate, daughter of Colonel John and Mary Wingate, of Hampton; (second) December 31, 1735, Sarah Clough, of Salisbury, Massa- chusetts. His children, all but the first by the second wife, were: Anna (died young), Si- mon, Samuel (died young), Daniel, Samuel, Anna, Robey, Meriam, Sarah, Theodore and David. Simon, Samuel, Theodore and David were soldiers in the revolutionary war. Simon was a captain ; Samuel died at Ticonderoga.
(VI) Theodore, ninth child and sixth son of Daniel and Sarah (Clough) Marston, was born September 28, 1755, and died May 25, 1830. He was twenty years of age at the outbreak of the revolutionary war in which
he served at various times. Theodore Mars- ton, as shown by the New Hampshire revolu- tionary records, was a private in Captain Moore's company in Colonel John Stark's reg- iment, in which he enlisted May I, 1775; in his brother Captain Simon Marston's com- pany in Colonel Joseph Senter's regiment, which was raised for the defence of Rhode Island the last half of 1777 and into the fol- lowing year-six months; June 22, 1778, The- odore Marston, of Deerfield, was paid advance wages, bounty and mileage; eleven pounds nineteen shillings and sixpence; September 29, 1781, Theodore Marston enlisted as a pri- vate in Captain Joseph Parson's company, Colonel Runnell's regiment of New Hamp- shire militia, for three years for twenty silver dollars and a month, going in the service of the town of Portsmouth, marching October 4. He settled in Mount Vernon, Maine, where he was a thrifty farmer, pious, honest and ec- centric. He always asked the same price for his produce, whether it was higher or lower than the current market price. When seed was scarce he trusted the poor, but would not sell to the rich for money. His daughter Mi- riam spoke of him as a very stern man who believed in work for all. The family always rose as early as five o'clock in the morning. He married, in 1785, Joanna Ladd. They had : Sarah, Stephen, Theodore, Daniel; Jeremiah (died young), Jeremiah and Meriam.
(VII) Colonel Theodore (2), third child and second son of Theodore (I) and Joanna (Ladd) Marston, was born October 17, 1791, and died in 1862. At nineteen years of age he left home and went to Phillips, where he bought five hundred acres of forest land, upon which he settled, and in the course of time converted into a fine productive farm upon which he built a neat residence and three large barns. Besides farming he dealt in produce.
He was a man of sterling integrity and one of the leaders in town affairs, and for years was a colonel in the militia. He married, in 1812, Polly Soule, who was born in 1787, and died in 1864. Their children were: Daniel. Jeremiah, and Mary, who is next mentioned.

WEBB Samuel Webb, immigrant ances- tor, was born in Redriff, near Lon- don, England, December 25, 1696, son of Captain Samuel Webb, who was in the service under the reign of Queen Anne, and who was lost at sea in 1708. He was left an orphan, his mother having died in 1706, two years before his father, and he was "bound out" to learn his trade. His master or guard- ian did not allow him as much liberty as he desired and in 1713 he ran away, taking pas- sage on a ship for America. Where he went first on reaching this country is uncertain. It is likely that he followed the sea for a time. In an account of him written by his grandson, Seth Webb, it is stated that he landed in Rhode Island and was taken into the family of Mr. McIntyre, a blacksmith, of Tiverton, Rhode Island, and there learned his trade. While his name is not found in the town records of Tiverton, there is no reason why it should be there, for he was a minor. The town records contain records of birth, marriage, death, elec- tions to public office, etc. The first public rec- ord of him is in Braintree and Weymouth, giving his marriage September 15, 1721, to Susanna, born in Weymouth, January 14, 1702-03, died there December 22, 1724, daugh- ter of John and Susanna ( Porter) Randall. He married ( second), August 1I, 1726, Bethi- ah (Farrow) Spear, born at Hingham, No- vember 29, 1704, died at Little Isle of Holt, November 30, 1770, daughter of John and Persis (Holbrook) Farrow, of Hingham, and widow of David Spear, of Braintree. These marriages were performed by Rev. Nehemiah Hobart of the Cohasset parish and are re- corded in the Weymouth town records. Sam- uel Webb may have been distantly related to the other Webbs of Braintree and Weymouth. It is a curious coincidence that he should choose for his residence on leaving Rhode Is- land the same town in which Richard Webb settled as early as 1640, but a mile or so from the home of Christopher Webb, of Braintree. But a thorough search shows that he was not a direct descendant of any of the pioneers of this name. There is no reason to doubt the family record of his birth in England. About 1730 Webb moved away from Weymouth, leaving his sons Samuel and Thomas with their grandfather, John Randall, who was chosen guardian for the son Samuel, March 14, 1736, according to the Suffolk probate records. The history of Deer Isle states that he once lived in the vicinity of Salem, Massa- chusetts. He was in that part of Falmouth now Westbrook in 1740. The history of Gor-
ham states that he was in Boston in 1744. He moved to what is now Windham in 1745 and settled on home lot No. 23. He was a black- smith there and the first schoolmaster. He served as a soldier in the Indian wars of 1747-48 and in 1757. He probably moved from Windham to North Yarmouth about 1760, and about 1764 to Little Isle of Holt. After the death of one of his sons in 1784 he moved to Deer Isle, where he died Feb- ruary 15, 1785. In the burying ground of North Weymouth, Massachusetts, is a large granite monument erected by his descendants over the spot where his first wife lies buried, and upon which is the following inscription : "Samuel Webb, son of Samuel Webb, born in London, England, 1696, died in Deer Isle, Maine, Feb. 15, 1785." Other family names are inscribed thereon, including that of his first wife. He and his second wife are buried in the old graveyard at Deer Isle. Children of first wife : I. Samuel, born July 31, 1722. 2. Thomas, December 21, 1723, died January 31, 1724. 3. Thomas, December 1, 1724. Chil- dren of second wife: 4. David, born March 29, 1727. 5. Susannah, March 29, 1729. 6.

Elizabeth, March 4, 1746-47.
(II) Eli, son of Samuel Webb, was born November 17, 1737. He went with his father to Windham, where he married, April 20, 1760, Sarah, born in Westbrook, February 5, 1742, died February 28, 1826, daughter of Ed- ward and Anna (Collins) Cloutman. Her father operated the first sawmill at Presump- scot Lower Falls. This mill was burned by the Indians in 1741, and then he moved by boat to Stroudwater, and from there in 1745 to Gorham, and settled above the village. Cloutman was a large and powerful man, and was much feared by the Indians. In the spring of 1746, while sowing wheat in his field, he was set upon by a party of savages, and after a desperate resistance finally overpowered and carried as a captive to Canada. In November he escaped from captivity by digging under the prison walls, but was never afterward heard from. The next year his skeleton was found on the shore of Lake Champlain, where he had perished. Edward Cloutman was born in Dover, New Hampshire, February 15, 1714, and married, in Falmouth, now Portland, April 16, 1738, Anna Collins, born January 16, 1718, daughter of Timothy and Sarah Collins of that city. Eli Webb spent his youth in the

midst of Indian troubles and narrowly escaped capture when his brother Seth was shot and taken by the Indians in 1750. Webb Pond in Franklin county was named by Seth and Eli Webb, who were great hunters and often went to that vicinity for game. Eli Webb was a soldier from Windham under Colonel Jedediah Preble in 1758. Ile was at the at- tack on Ticonderoga, and was with General Howe, the commander-in-chief, when he was shot, catching him as he fell. He was later a member of the Rogers Rangers, a select body of men employed as scouts under the com- mand of the famous Captain Rogers, of New Hampshire, and saw much hard service while in that command, which lost so many men in skirmishes that it had to be recruited several times. He was also a soldier in the revolu- tion. He settled in Windham, but afterward sold his property there, and in July, 1777, moved to Gorham and was the first of the family at Gambo Falls, his farm being near where the powder mills now are. He died November 26, 1826. Children: I. Edward, born December 27, 1760, mentioned below. 2. Annie, 1763. 3. Lorana, 1766. 4. Mary, 1768. 5. James, 1770. 6. Ezekiel, 1773. 7. Abra- ham, 1775. 8.
