(IX) William Converse, elder son of Will- iam P. and Mary Frances (Carver) Kendall, was born April 4, 1861, in Freeport, and spent his early life in that town. In his schooldays he seldom had even a summer vaca- tion, being kept in a private school after the public schools were closed. As soon as he was old enough he was the constant companion of his father in fishing and hunting expeditions, developed a great enthusiasm in those sports and is still fond of traversing the fields where he spent so much time with his father. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1885, with a degree of A. B., and received the degree of A. M. from that institution in 1890. He en- tered the medical school of Georgetown Uni- versity, from which he was graduated with the degree of M. D. in 1896. For a few years he was engaged in school-teaching, and in 1889 joined the United States fish com- mission, with which he is still connected as naturalist. His numerous scientific papers have appeared mainly in the bulletins and reports of the commission and in the pro- ceedings of the United States National Mu- seum. He has, however, contributed articles on natural history subjects and short stories to the popular magazines. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advance-


ment of Science, a member of Washington Academy of Science, the Washington Biologi- cal Society, Maine Ornithological Society, American Fisheries Society, American For- estry Association, Portland ( Maine) Society of Natural History, and was for some time an associate member of the American Ornitho- logists Union. He was formerly a member of A. C. Pray Camp, No. 2, Sons of Veterans, of Auburn, Maine, and is one of the founders of the Geological Society of Washington, from which organizations he resigned after a mem- bership of about two years cach. In college he was a member of the Fraternity, Theta Delta Chi. He is a member of the Harra- seeket Lodge, No. 30, Knights of Pythias, of Freeport, Maine, and of Freeport Lodge, No. 23, Free and Accepted Masons, in which both his great-grandfather and grandfather were presiding officers, and is also a member of the Maine Grange. Dr. Kendall was married April 3, 1893, in Washington, to Ida Wilhel- mina, daughter of Henry Aschenbach, of that city, and they have one child, Minerva (Con- verse) Kendall, born June 29, 1897, in Wash- ington.

He had a controversy with the pastor of the church, but was exonerated from all blame in the trial of the case. It is said that when he differed with any statement that the pastor made in his sermon he would sig- nify his disapproval by rapping on the pew in a very decided and telling manner.

A few months later, Au- gust 18, 1885, he was unanimously elected to his old command, captain of the Biddeford Infantry. He rose finally to the rank of colo- nel, being elected in 1889, and held that com- mission for eighteen years, and served at the head of his regiment in the Spanish war in 1898.

colonies, and on the record of each the verdict : "He did what he could for the betterment of the human kind with which he was brought in contact" is true and just. From the Eng- lish ancestral records we find that the sur- name occurrs frequently in the early part of the thirteenth century and appears to be of Saxon derivation. The name appears in the inscription engraved on the seal of an ancient town on the English coast, and reads as fol- lows: "Sigillum Burgensium de Saffordia." It also appears among the lists of immigrants who came from England to the Colony of Virginia between 1613 and 1623.


(I) Thomas Safford was born in Suffolk county, England, and first appeared in Ips- wich, Massachusetts Bay Colony, prior to 1630. He owned land in Ipswich before April 6, 1641 ; was made a freeman by the general . court of Massachusetts Bay Colony, Decem- ber 19, 1648. He died February 20, 1667, having before his death made provision for the certain support of his widow and unmarried daughters, directing that a fixed amount should be paid to them annually out of the first proceeds from the product of his farm of sixty acres and this annuity to be continued during the life of his widow and her depend- ent daughters. His widow, Elizabeth, died March 4, 1671, in Ipswich. Their children were: I. Joseph, born in Ipswich in 1631. 2. John, see forward, and the three daughters for whom provision was made in his will were : Elizabeth, Mary and Abigail.


(II) John, second son of Thomas and Eliza- beth Safford, was born in Ipswich in 1633. He evidently lived on the farm of his father and was engaged in its cultivation probably in partnership with his brother Joseph, and be- fore his death made provision similar to that made by his father, by which his wife, Sarah, and daughter were placed beyond danger of want in any contingency, by an annuity to be paid out of the product of the farm, and his wife joined him in the conveyance of the sixty-acre farm on such condition, the deed being signed by them September 5, 1665. He and his wife Sarah had children: I. Sarah, born July 14, 1664, died July 21, 1712. 2. Margaret, February 28, 1666. 3. Rebecca, August 30, 1667. 4. Mary, February 26, 1669. 5.

(IV) Thomas (3), eldest son and second child of Thomas (2) and Elinor (Setchwell) Safford, was born in Ipswich, April 28, 1703. He married Sarah Dresser ; child, Moses, see forward.


(V) Moses, son of Thomas Jr. (3) and Sarah (Dresser) Safford, was born in Ips- wich, July, 1746. He removed to York, Maine, in 1768. He married (first) Mary, daughter of Nathan Hood, of Topsfield, Massachusetts, and had children : John, born in York, Maine, September 19, 1769, married and had chil- dren: I. Moses, see forward. 2. Jeremiah, born May 20, 1772, not named in his father's will and presumably died before the making of the testament, as there is no record of his adult life. 3.

He married Sarah, daughter of Roger and Abigail (Ger- rish) Mitchell, of Kittery, and granddaughter of Robert Eliot Gerrish and of Roger and Mary (Goold) Mitchell.

(VII) Edward Dearing, third son and sixth child of Moses (2) and Sarah ( Mitchell) Saf- ford, was born in Kittery, Maine, July 17, 1806, and died in the same town, August 19, 1856. He attended the public schools of his native town until he was nine years of age, leaving home at that time to become a sailor, and as he became older was advanced through the various grades until he attained the rank of master mariner in command of a ship. While living on shore he learned and carried on the business of blacksmith.

He was a con- sistent and earnest member of the Baptist church and held the office of deacon for sev- eral years prior to his death. The evils of intemperance which he had witnessed in his career on the sea led him to take an active part in temperance organization and he was a member of the Sons of Temperance many years, filling at various times all the positions of honor and the offices in the executive work of the order. He married, December 22, 1832, Mary R., daughter of David and Anna (Wilson) Lewis, granddaughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Haley) Lewis, and a descendant in a direct line of John Lewis, the immigrant settler in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Col- ony, 1640.

Mr. Safford resumed the prac- tice of law after being discharged in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1865, opening an office at Kit- tery, and in addition to his law practice dis- charged the duties of clerk in the United States navy yard for a time.
