When he was fifteen years old he removed to Lynn and went to work in a boot and shoe factory, attending the night school for two years. He then returned to Porter and engaged in farming for a time. He removed to Moultonborough, New Hampshire, and established himself in the wood and lum- ber business. He continued in business for about sixteen years.

Mary, Louise, Henry Allen, a successful con- tractor and builder in Boston, Massachusetts ; Grace, Judson Burpee, a physician and mem- ber of the parliament of the Dominion of Can- ada, and in 1908 was returned with the largest majority in Nova Scotia. Thomas Henry Black died at St. Martins, New Brunswick, 1860.
(II) William T., eldest son and third child of Thomas Henry and Mary ( Fownes) Black, was born in St. Martins, New Brunswick, Oc- tober 20, 1830. He was a pupil in the publie schools of St. Martins and at Mount Allison Academy, Sackville, New Brunswick, and was graduated from the Provincial Normal school, Saint John, New Brunswick. He gained his first knowledge of medicine in the office of James Hunter, M. D., of St. John, New Brunswick, where he read medicine under the direction of Dr. Hunter, one of the most learned physicians and surgeons of his time in the province. He then took the regular course in medicine and surgery in the Pennsyl- vania Medical College, under such noted teachers as the elder Stille, Francis G. Smith, etc., graduating Doctor of Medicine in 1857. He began practice in Moncton, New Bruns- wick, and his skill was soon recognized by the public and by the officers of the European and North American railway (now the Interco- lonial), then under construction, which gave him unusual opportunities in the practice of surgery. In 1860 he removed to Calais, Maine, where he practiced medicine and surgery up to the advent of the southern rebellion, when he volunteered his service in the Union army and was commissioned assistant surgeon in the Twelfth Maine Volunteer Infantry and mustered in December 28, 1861, and his regi- ment was assigned to the southern division under General Butler, and with his regiment was among the first of the army to occupy New Orleans. He was appointed medical examiner for the first Union volunteer regi- ments raised in New Orleans, and was ap- pointed surgeon of First Louisiana Volunteers. He remained in the United States volunteer service up to May 29, 1863, when he was granted leave of absence on account of the condition of his health, impaired by service in the sickly camp occupied by the Union army on the Mississippi river. He was granted a leave of absence and returned to Maine hoping that a northern climate would restore his health ; in this he was disappointed, and at the expiration of his leave of absence tendered his resignation, and was honorably discharged on
July 23, 1863. He resumed the practice of medicine at Calais, Maine. In the latter part of 1869 and until August, 1870, he spent in Europe visiting the medical schools in Great Britain and the Continent. In 1885 he was forced by ill health to relinquish his practice and retire to a farm in Nova Scotia which he purchased and cultivated for nearly five years. This treatment of his body and mind served to reinstate his health, and he resumed his practice and was still so engaged in 1908, although 'seventy-eight years of age. He had hoped for years to retire from active practice, but the old friends who relied on him for medical advice and help would not allow him to entirely discontinue practice, but he took no new business and gradually obtained the ease he had so well earned, through the con- sideration of these friends. He found his best comfort and ease in his beautiful home below the city of Calais on the bank of the river Ste. Croix, and from there he kept in touch and continued his membership in the Wash- ington County Medical Society and the Coun- cil of Physicians and Surgeons of New Bruns- wick. He has been a member of the United States Pension Examining Board at Calais for many years, and since July, 1908, the presi- dent of the board. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, being a Blue Lodge and Royal Arch Mason.
Dr. Black married, December 9, 1857, Frances E. Cutts, of Eastport, Maine. They never had their lives made glad by the birth of children, but this deprivation was the gain of the children of others who came within the larger circle of their lives, giving them the unstinted love and care that they were de- prived of showering on their own.
LEWIS The name of Lewis was formerly Lewes and originated in the county of Kent, England. It has been stated by some authorities that George Lewes, of Barnstable, the emigrant ancestor of the Bridgton Lewises, was the father of the George Lewis who was of Casco in 1640, but this has been proved erroneous by Mr. Sav- age, and they were probably not related to each other. The Goodman George Lewes, Senior, and Goodman George Lewes, Junior, of Scituate, Massachusetts, mentioned by the Rev. John Lothrop, were undoubtedly father and son. Goodman George, Senior, wrote his name Lewes, and his descendants retained that form of spelling until about the year 1700, since which time the present orthography has

been in general use. Many men of marked ability have brought honor and distinction to the name in America.
(I) George Lewes, of East Greenwich, in Kent, was a clothier and probably followed his trade in London before coming to New England. It is quite probable that he was a member of Mr. Lothrop's church in London at the time of its disruption in 1632, and he evidently emigrated shortly afterward as he was in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1633, and two years later he rejoined his former pastor in Scituate, where he was admitted a freeman in 1636-37. His home in Scituate was located on Kent street, the residents of which were mostly from that county in the mother coun- try and known as "the men of Kent." In 1639 he sold his property in order to remove with Mr. Lothrop and the other church mem- bers to Barnstable, and in common with the rest he received land grants in the latter place. He served as surveyor of highways in 1648 and 1650, rendered jury duty in 1649 and was constable in 1651. He was an honest man and a sincere Christian, whose chief desire was to live in peace with his fellowmen, to avoid actions at law and to yield rather than contend with his neighbors. He died in Barn- stable in 1662 or 1663. His first wife, whom he married in England about 1626, was Sarah Jenkins, a sister of Edward Jenkins, who was subsequently a resident of Scituate. She ac- companied him to America and died in Barn- stable. The maiden surname of his second wife is unknown, but her given name was Mary, and she was living in 1670. He was the father of eight children, five of whom were probably born in England. Their names were : Mary, Thomas, George, James, Edward, John, Ephraim and Sarah. (N. B. These children are not given in the order of their birth.)
(II) Lieutenant James, son of George and Sarah (Jenkins) Lewes, was born in Eng- land in 1631. Although compelled to work hard from daylight to dark he nevertheless found the means of gratifying a desire for the acquisition of knowledge by devoting the long winter evenings to study under the direc- tion of the pastor, and at his majority he was well prepared for the business of life. Like his father he was both honest and industrious, but unlike his progenitor he possessed the fac- ulty of acquiring property and he became wealthy. He was made a freeman in 1658; rendered the customary jury service; was for many years an officer in the local militia com- pany and probably served in King Philip's war; was a selectman for the years 1679-81-
89-90 ; but did not unite with the church until 1699, when he was sixty-eight years old. He died October 4, 1713. His will was dated May 8, 1713, and proved October 17 of that year. October 31, 1655, he married Sarah, daughter of George Lane, of Hingham. Their children, all born in Barnstable, were: John, Samuel, Sarah, James, Ebenezer, George, Jo- seph, Susannah, Mary and Hannah.
(III) Ebenezer, fourth son and fifth child of Lieutenant James and Sarah (Lane) Lewes, was born in Barnstable, December 20, 1666. He acquired both wealth and prominence ; was one of the most able business men of Barnstable in his day ; held various town offices and was judge of the court of common pleas. The date of his death does not appear in the records at hand. In 1691 he married Anna, daughter of Hon. Barnabas Lothrop, and on February 28, 1728, he married for his second wife Rebecca Sturgis, of Yarmouth. The lat- ter died April 10, 1734, aged sixty-five years. His children, all of his first union, were : Sarah, Susannah, James, Ebenezer, Hannah, Lothrop, George, Nathaniel, John, David and Abigail.
(IV) George (2), fourth son and seventh child of Ebenezer and Anna ( Lothrop) Lewes, was born in Barnstable, April 5, 1704. He occupied the homestead and was an industrious and useful citizen who refrained from partici- pating in public affairs. Being contemporary with his Uncle George, he is designated in. the Barnstable town records as George Lewes, Junior, and he died about the year 1757. His will, which was dated July 19, of that year, disposed of property inventoried at two hun- dred and eighty-four pounds. September 12, 1737, he married Sarah Thacher, of Yar- mouth, and her death occurred April 30, 1762. Their children were: "Annah," Thankful (who died in infancy), John, Thankful, Sarah, Temperance (who also died in infancy), George, Temperance (who died aged about seven months), Josiah, another Temperance, Susannah and James.
(V) Major George (3) Lewis, second son and seventh child of George (2) and Sarah (Thacher) Lewes, was born in Barnstable, April 9, 1741. He was one of the most dis- tinguished members of the family, acquiring prominence both in civil and military life, and he settled in Gorham, Maine, where his death occurred July 24, 1819. October 12, 1760, he married for his first wife Mary, daughter of Hon. Daniel Davis, a revolutionary soldier of distinction, and she died in February, 1782, aged forty-one years. His second wife was

Desire, daughter of Samuel Parker, of West Barnstable. His first wife bore him eleven children : Mehitable, Colonel Lothrop, Sarah, "Annah," James, Ansel, George, Daniel Davis, Mary, Robert and Abigail, the last two of whom were twins. Colonel Lothrop Lewis was a prominent resident of Gorham; a sur- veyor of recognized ability and at one time state land agent. Abigail married Captain William Prentiss and became the mother of the distinguished American lawyer and orator, Sargent S. Prentiss ; also of Rev. George Lew- is Prentiss, D. D., the eminent theologian.
(VI) Major George (4), fourth son and seventh child of Major George (3) and Mary (Davis) Lewis, was born in Barnstable, March 28, 1775. Locating in Bridgton, Maine, he turned his attention to agriculture and be- came one of the prominent farmers of that locality. For many years he was connected with the militia and held the rank of major. His death occurred in Bridgton, September 19, 1857. He married Ruthy Lincoln, and their children were: Ruth, Lincoln, Royal, Harriet, Tabitha, Lothrop, Jerusha and Sarah. (VII) Lothrop, third son and sixth child of Major George (4) and Ruthy (Lincoln) Lewis, was born in Bridgton, September 4, 1805. He was reared and educated in his native town, where in early manhood he en- gaged in tilling the soil, and the active period of his life was devoted to that calling. During the anti-slavery agitation he earnestly support- ed the cause of Abolition, and in 1847 repre- sented his district in the lower branch of the state legislature. He also supported with vigor the cause of total abstinence from intoxicating liquors and belonged to the Sons of Temper- ance. He was very active in religious work and a leading member of the Congregational church at Bridgton Center. He died in that town, October 25. 1879. December 25, 1832, he married Mary Jones, of Waterford. She became the mother of five children: Caroline Peabody, Mary Elizabeth, George, Lothrop Lincoln and Edward Lyman.
(VIII) Rev. George, D. D. (5), third child and eldest son of Lothrop and Mary (Jones) Lewis, was born in Bridgton, January 21, 1839. From the North Bridgton Academy he entered Bowdoin College, receiving his bach- elor's degree and later entering the Bangor Theological Seminary, was graduated in 1865. He was ordained a Congregational minister the same year and installed pastor of a church in Bedford, Massachusetts, but owing to im- paired health was later obliged to suspend his labors and seek a warmer climate. After
spending some time in Florida with beneficial results he resumed pastoral work in Jersey City, remaining there three years, and from 1874 to the present time he has been located in South Berwick. Bowdoin College conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1904. In politics he is a Repub- lican. On November 28, 1865, Dr. Lewis was united in marriage with Katharine B., daugh- ter of Colonel Hugh D. and Elizabeth ( Lewis) McLellan, of Gorham. The McLellans are of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and are said to be the descendants of Sir Hugh Mclellan, of Argyle- shire, Scotland. They took refuge in the North of Ireland during the seventeenth cen- tury. The Gorham family was founded in America by Hugh and Elizabeth Mclellan, of county Antrim, Ireland, who came from Londonderry to Boston in 1733, and proceed- ing to Maine they settled as pioneers in Gor- ham. Their children were: William, born in Ireland; Abigail, Mary, Alexander, Cary, Jane, Martha, Thomas and Martha. Dr. George and Katharine B. (Mclellan) Lewis are the parents of three sons: Hugh Mc- Lellan, born October 26, 1868; Philip Prescott, September 26, 1870, and George Lothrop, June 10, 1878. All were fitted for college at the South Berwick Academy. Hugh M., who is a graduate of the University of Maine, is married and resides in Brunswick, Maine. Philip P. is a graduate of the Maine Medical school of Bowdoin College, and is now a phy- sician in Gorham. George L., a graduate of Bowdoin, is now librarian of the Westfield (Mass.) Atheneum.
This MOOR surname, identical with More, Moore, Muir, Mure and Moir in Scotland, is credited with various derivations, the most obvious being the taking of the name from the race of Moors, in the same way that we find such names as Scott, English, French, etc. The Scotch family of this name was established before 1263, in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire. When King James planted the English Presbyterians in the north of Ireland, the history of the Scotch-Irish there began. In the precinct of Orier, county Armagh, one thousand acres were granted to Sir Gerald Moore, knight, privy councillor. In the pre- cinct of Tullagharvy, county Cavan, fifteen hundred acres were granted to Brent Moore, and Archibald ( Arthur) Moore. In the pre- cinct of Portlough, county Donegal, Hugh and William Moore were settlers as early as 1613. In 1629, in the precinct of Lurg and Coolema-

kernan, county Fermanagh, among the lessees of John Archdale, occur the names of Thom- as and William Edward Moore. Sir Gerald Moore built a stone "bawn" (sic) and a small house "inhabited by an Irishman," on his thou- sand acres. Before 1630 Archibald Moor had a grant in Clonmahone, county Cavan, and there erected a strong sod "bawn" and an Irish house. From 1610 to the present time the Moor family of the north of Ireland have been practically all of pure Scotch ancestry, and Presbyterian in religion. In the three coun- ties of Antrim, Londonderry and Tyrone one hundred and eighty-five of this surname were born in 1890, indicating a population in those counties alone of upward of eight thousand by the name of Moore or Moor.
(I) Deacon James Moor, immigrant ances- tor of the family in America, was born in 1702, in county Tyrone, Ulster province, Ire- land, descended doubtless from one of the Scotch pioneers mentioned above. He died in Pembroke, formerly Suncook, New Hamp- shire, March II, 1773. He came to America in 1725, and was one of the first settlers of New Hampshire at what was called Suncook by the Indians. He went to Londonderry on a tour of inspection, and secured the refusal of the rights of Joseph Farrar, June 5, 1729, bought the property by deed dated November 24, 1729, and used to say that his family was the second to settle in the township, where he built the first frame dwelling, which, al- tered from time to time, is yet standing on the old farm, and was lately occupied by Sam- uel Emery, grandson of the pioneer. Moor was deacon of the Presbyterian church, and a man of prominence. He married, in Ireland, Agnes Colbreth (family name also Colbath, Colbreath, and Galbraith). Vice-President Henry Wilson was a Colbath by birth, having had his name changed after he was an adult. His ancestors came from the same section of Ireland as Agnes Colbreth-Londonderry or Tyrone. Children of James Moor: 1. James. 2. William, married Hannah - 3. Han- nah, born August 5, 1732. 4. Ephraim, mar- ried (first) Hannah Rogers; (second) Febru- ary 27, 1783, Jennie Moore. 5.

Daughter, married Ephraim Foster. 10. Eunice, married, Sep- tember 24, 1781, James Merrill, of Chichester.
(II) Captain Daniel, son of Deacon James Moor, was born in Pembroke, New Hamp- shire, June 21, 1735. He settled in Deerfield,
adjacent to Pembroke, and became a promi- nent citizen and soldier. He was friendly with the Indians until the French and Indian war, when the Indians left the vicinity of Pem- broke, and went to Canada, committing out- rages and taking prisoners on the way. Moor was in service against them. When the revo- lution broke out he was one of the first on his way to Lexington at the head of a com- pany, and fought under Colonel John Stark at Bunker Hill, and stood at the side of Major McClary when he was struck with a cannon ball, and was one of those who opened a grave and buried him on the spot. He was also in the service in 1776-77, and at the bat- tle of Saratoga. Later in life he was a pen- sioner on account of his revolutionary serv- ice. He kept the first tavern in Pembroke. Some of his children spelled their name Moor, others Moore, and their descendants are sim- ilarly divided. Captain Moor married (first) Margaret White; ( second) Elizabeth White, not a sister of his first wife, born March, 1738. died November 29, 1828, daughter of William White. Some of the children were born at Deerfield, others at Pembroke. By first wife : I. Jane White, born October, 1761, married Theophilus Stevens. 2. Isaac, drummer boy at Bunker Hill, in his father's company. 3. .

(III) Daniel (2), son of Captain Daniel (1) Moor, was born in Pembroke, February 17, 1771, died at Waterville, Maine, August 30, 1851. He was a soldier in the revolution. He removed to Winslow, now Waterville, Maine, in 1798. He was a farmer. His three eldest sons were engaged in boating and lum- bering, and kept a general store. They built river steamers by the score, sold five in Cali- fornia, two of their steam vessels were bought by Cornelius Vanderbilt Sr. for use in the South American trade, and several went to

In the forties he and his brother Dan- iel built a long four-story building in which they manufactured gang-saws, iron and steel shovels, and operated a plaster mill and grist mill. Part of the building was also used by the firm for storage for their extensive grain and feed business and merchandise. This building was lost by fire July 15, 1849, was rebuilt, and burned down again in 1859. After the Maine Central railroad came to Water- ville from Portland, ship-building and trading on the river collapsed, and the vessels were sent to other ports.
