(VIII) George W., son of Elisha Jr. (3) and Joanna (Sturtevant) Bisbee, was born in Sumner, Maine, July 6, 1812. He married, January 1, 1836, Mary B. Howe, of Rumford, Maine, and their only child, George Dana (q. v.) was born July 9, 1841. George W. Bisbee died in Peru, Maine, January 27, 1872.
(IX) George Dana, only child of George W. and Mary B. (Howe) Bisbee, was born in Hartford, Maine, July 9, 1841. He was obliged to work from his early boyhood days, and his school days were in the common dis- trict school and the high school in West Peru. His life found a decided change in 1861 when the civil war broke out and the government asked for men to put down the Southern re- bellion. Maine had within her borders an army of able, willing and loyal men, undisci- plined, but patriotic, ready to answer to their country's call. Responding to the call of Pres- ident Lincoln, young Bisbee enlisted in the Sixteenth Maine Regiment at its organiza- tion, and passed with the regiment an active and eventful career of danger and daring and an intimate acquaintance with what had been heretofore the horror of sudden death. He found war to be indeed a Hades, and he passed through its very door and witnessed its intensest scenes of suffering. He had part
in the successive campaigns under McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant. This meant the unsuccessful attempt to recover some of the foothold lost in Virginia by the Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville cam- paign ; the second falling back on Washington, and the brilliant and successful Antietam cam- paign that saved the National Capital and drove the Confederates to the dangerous necessity of making a stand on the free soil of Pennsylvania, resulting in the decisive bat- tle of Gettysburg with a glorious ending at Appomattox. To have passed through such a series of campaigns with entire safety. would be impossible, and our Maine soldier felt the dark side of war in wounds received at Fred- ericksburg, from which he has never fully re- covered; from the disappointment of capture and imprisonment on the first day at Gettys- burg, July 1, 1863, where with his entire regi- ment he was made a prisoner of war and con- fined in Libby and other southern prisons un- til finally paroled in December, 1864, and then only in consideration of the wounded condi- tion of his body that he would never be fit for duty again ; but this was to have its recompense for after a special exchange he with his regi- ment participated with the army of General Grant under Sheridan in the final battle of the war resulting in the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox, which Mr. Bisbee says amply repaid him for all the hardships he experi- enced during the three years of strenuous war- fare or of lingering in almost hopeless inac- tivity in southern prisons. At the close of the war he was mustered out of the army with his regiment.
The Bisbee family were noted for the cour- age of their convictions and a will power equal to the occasion. This was true of young Bis- bee while in the army. Severely wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg he refused to have his wounded arm amputated, and while in the hospital he received notice of his pro- motion as an officer ; he desired to go to the front and accept his commission, but the hos- pital physician refused the request saying that "Sick and wounded men at the front were of no use." Young Bisbee was discharged from the United States service on account of wounds and physical disability. He obtained a permit through Vice-President Hamlin to visit his regiment and was mustered again into the service under his commission as lieu- tenant ; was actively engaged in the battle of Chancellorville carrying his wounded arm in a sling; paroled from the southern prisons on account of wounds after eighteen months con-

finement, he refused a discharge from the ser- vice and obtained a special exchange, rejoined his regiment and saw the Union army come off victorious.
On returning home he took up the study of law and was admitted to the Oxford bar in December, 1865, his mind having gained in his war college course a grasp of the princi- ples of law and equity that no law school could possibly instill. He opened a law office in Buckfield, Maine, in January, 1866, and continued the practice of law in that place up to 1892, when he removed to Rumford Falls, where he is now senior member of the law firm of Bisbee & Parker. He is a member of the bar of the supreme court of the United States. Besides a large practice in Oxford county he is recognized as one of the foremost business lawyers in the state, and is employed in important cases outside his own county. He has served as county attorney of Oxford county ; been both representative and senator in the legislature of Maine; has served as United States marshall for the district of Maine ; as state bank examiner and as a mem- ber of Governor Cobb's council in 1905-07. He is besides being a leading and active Re- publican, a strong advocate of temperance and is a member of the Baptist church at Rumford Falls. His business interests, independent of his professional or political connections there- with, include the presidency of the Rumford Falls Trust Company, in the organization of which corporation he was active, and he is also connected as a director and attorney with the Portland and Rumford Falls railroad and with several other local enterprises. Mr. Bis- bee was made chairman of the board of trus- tees of Hebron Academy in 1907, and is now president of the institution, having served as vice-president of this board for several years. He married, July 8, 1866, Anna Louise, daughter of Hon. Isaac N. Stanley, of Dix- field, and their children are Stanley (q. v.), and Mary Louise, wife of Everett R. Josselyn, of the firm of Brown & Josselyn, of Portland, Maine, wholesale flour dealers.
(X) Stanley, son of George Dana and Anna Louise (Stanley) Bisbee, was born in Buck- field, Maine, April 25, 1867. He attended Hebron Academy and Coburn Classical Insti- tute and commenced business as a clerk in a general store in Buckfield, of which he soon became proprietor, remaining in that business up to 1893, when he sold out and became agent for the American Express Company opening an office in Rumford Falls just as the place became an important railroad center. In
1895 he engaged in the hardware business and still conducts the business. He was elected selectman of the town of Buckfield, and was a member of the school board of Rumford for six years. He was initiated in the Masonic fraternity through membership in the Blazing Star Lodge of Rumford, was advanced to the Rumford Royal Arch Chapter, Strathglass Commandery, Knights Templar, of Rumford. Maine. He is also a member of Penacook Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Rumford Falls; of the Knights of Pythias, Metalluc Lodge, Rumford Falls, and a com- panion of the Loyal Legion of the United States. In 1909 he represented the town of Rumford in the seventy-fourth legislature. He married, March 12, 1889, Nellie B., daughter of Cyrus E. and Ellen Young Spaulding, of Buckfield, Maine, and their children are: Spaulding, born in Buckfield, January 6, 1890, Louise, born in Rumford, July 23, 1896.
(XI) Spaulding, son of Stanley and Nellie B. (Spaulding) Bisbee, and of the eleventh generation from Thomas Bisbedge, the immi- grant, 1635, was educated in the schools of Rumford Falls and is now a student at Hebron Academy.
This ancient family
CHADBOURNE whose progenitor set- tled in Maine nearly three centuries ago is one of distinction be- cause of the character and quality of its mem- bers, who in every generation from the time of the immigrant have been representative men, progressive, energetic, moral and gen- erally well-to-do. According to President Paul A. Chadbourne the family name signi- fies "the dwelling by the ford." A theory also held is that it refers to the race of St. Chad (or Ceadda), an English ecclesiastic, who died 672 A.D. In the old documents the spelling is variously Chadbourne, Chadbourn, Chadben, Chadbon, Chadborn, Chadbou, Chad- boun, Chadburn, Chadburne, Chatbunn and Chatburn. The following account of a section of the family is taken from the Chadbourne- Chadbourn Genealogy by William Morrill Emery, A. M.
(I) William Chadbourne, the immigrant ancestor from whom descends the American family of that surname, came to this country in 1634 and settled in what now is South Ber- wick, Maine. His son Humphrey had pre- ceded him in 1631. Doubtless they came from Devonshire, England, many of the Kittery set- tlers having emigrated from Dartmouth or

Kingsweare, lying on opposite sides of the river Dart. William Chadborne arrived at Kittery on July 8, 1634, coming with two com- panions, James Wall and John Goddard, in a vessel called the "Pied Cow." The place where they landed is known as Cow Cove to this day. These men were carpenters, who had come over to build for the patentee, Cap- tain John Mason, what was probably the first saw mill erected in New England. The three came under a contract to work for Mason five years, after which they were to have fifty acres of land on lease for the term of three lives (generations ), paying an annual rent of three bushels of corn. Mason, however, died the following year. The work which they accomplished is quaintly described in the fol- lowing deposition made by Wall eighteen years later.
The Deposition of James Wall: Taken the 21 of the 3 month, 1652.
This Deponent say the, that aboute the yeare 1634, he, with his partners, William Chadbourne and John Goddarde, came over to New England upon the accompte of Cap- taine John Mason of London, and also for themselves, and were landed at Newichawan- nock, vpon certaine lands there which mr. Joieslenn, Captaine Mason's Agente, brought them vnto, with the landings of some goodes, and there they did build vpp at the fall there (called by the Indian name of Ashbesebedick ) for the use of Captaine Mason & our selues, one sawe mill and one stampinge mill for Coone, w'ch we did keep for the space of three or foure yeares next after; and further this Deponent saythe, he builte one house vpon the same lands, and soe did William Chad- burne another & gave it to his sonne in Law, Thomas Spencer, who now lives in it.
And this Deponent also say that we had peaceable and quite possession of that lande for the vse of Captain Mason afforesaide, and that the saide Agente did buye some planted ground of some of the Indians, w'ch they had planted vpon the sayd land, and that Captaine Masons agentes servants did breake vp & cleered certaine lands there, and planted Corne vpon it, and all this to his beste remembrance.
James Wall sworne, whoe affirmed vpon his oath that p'misses is true. Sworne before me George Smyth.'
The date of William Chadbourne's death is not known. He was still living in 1662, for his name appears on the act of submission to Massachusetts signed by forty-one inhabitants of Kittery on November 16 of that year. He is known to have had three children, William,
Humphrey and Patience. Of these children, William lived in Plymouth, and had a wife Mary and a daughter Mary, the latter of whom was born in Boston in 1644 and married John Frost, of Dover, New Hampshire. It is believed that the family of this William re- turned to England. Patience, the only daugh- ter of William, the ancestor, married Thomas Spencer, a planter, lumberman and tavern keeper at Berwick.
(II) Humphrey, son of William Chad- bourne, the great landowner and leader among men, was one of the most prominent citizens in the town of Kittery. He was born probably about 1600. He came over in the bark "Warwick," landing September 9, 1631, three years before his father, and as chief car- penter for David Thompson, patentee, built what was called the Great House at Straw- berry Bank, now Portsmouth, where he lived for several years. The Great House was a blockhouse for defence against the Indians, but probably became subsequently a "truck house," or trading post. Hubbard calls Hum- phrey Chadbourne "chief of the artificers." Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in his delightful work on Portsmouth, "An Old Town by the Sea," remarks: "It was not until 1631 that the Great House was erected by Humphrey Chad- bourne on Strawberry Bank. Mr. Chad- bourne, consciously or unconsciously sowed a seed from which a city has sprung." Eventu- ally Humphrey Chadbourne took up his abode at Newichawannock, where he waxed prosper- Ous. It is said that he succeeded Ambrose Gibbons as steward for Mason at this place. May 10, 1643, he bought of the Indian Saga- more Roles (or Rowles) a large tract of land at Newichawannock. This land, in whole or in part, remained in the Chadbourne family for more than two hundred years. In 1651-52 Humphrey Chadbourne received grants of about three hundred acres of land in Kittery. He took an active part in the affairs of the town, and is referred to by Miss Sarah Orne Jewett as "the lawgiver" of Kittery. In 1651 he was elected one of the townsmen or select- men. He was ensign of the militia in 1653, and unquestionably bore his part in the wars with the Indians. From 1654 to 1659 he was town clerk. He was a deputy to the general court in 1657-59-60, and in 1662 was ap- pointed one of the associate judges of the county of York. He signed the submission to Massachusetts in 1652.
His will, dated May 25, 1667, is a long and interesting document. The testator mentions his wife Lucy, his eldest son Humphrey, his
I349

younger sons James and William, his "little daughters," Lucy, Aylce and Katherine. There was also a posthumous child. According to the English custom he made his eldest son Humphrey his principal heir, supplementing his gifts of real estate with that of his saddle horse "with all the furniture to him belong- ing." Provision was also made for the other sons and the widow, and to each of the daugh- ters he left one hundred pounds. To his "ounckle," Nicholas Shapleigh, the testator gave "one very good beaver hat," and to his cousins William Spencer and John Shapleigh each "a good castor hatt, as good as can be gotten." Humphrey Chadbourne at the time of his death, in the summer of 1667, was owner of farms, mills and timberlands. The inventory of his estate, returned by the ap- praisers September 12 of that year, placed the value of his property at 1713 pounds, 14 shillings, an enormous fortune for that time. The property included "900 acres of land by estimation."
Humphrey Chadbourne married Lucy, daugh- ter of James and Katherine (Shapleigh) Treworgy, of Kittery, who was much younger than himself. She married (second) Thomas Mills, of Kittery, who made her a marriage settlement April 1, 1669, and married for her third husband Hon. Elias Stileman, of Ports- mouth, New Hampshire. She died in 1707. Children of Humphrey Chadbourne: I. Hum- phrey, born 1653, died 1694. 2. Alice, mar- ried (first) after November 5, 1677, Samuel Donnell ; (second) Jeremiah Moulton, of New York. 3. Katherine, married (first) Edward Lydstone ; (second) James Weymouth. 4 James, died about 1686. 5. William, did not marry ; was taken prisoner by Indians and released at Pemaquid on the Penobscot when Major Waldern's expedition went to the east- ward in 1676; was ransomed with other cap- tives for twelve skins each. 6. Lucy, married Peter Lewis Jr. 7. Elizabeth, born 1667, mar- ried Samuel Alcock.
(III) Humphrey (2), son of Humphrey (I) and Lucy (Treworgy) Chadbourne, was born in Kittery in 1653 and died there about 1694. He married Sarah, daughter of Joseph Bolles, of Wells and Cape Porpoise. She was born January 20. 1657, and bore her husband five children : 1. Humphrey, born September 2, 1678, died January 26, 1763. 2. William, born about 1683. 3. Elizabeth, supposed to have married Amos (or Andrew) Fernald, of Portsmouth. 4. Mary, married, July 1, 1708, William Dyer. 5. Joseph.
(IV) William (2), second son and child
of Humphrey (2) and Sarah ( Bolles) Chad- bourne, was born about 1683, and both he and his wife were baptized and owned the cove- nant at South Berwick, November 21, 1714. His wife's baptismal name was Mary, but her family name is not known. They had eleven children : 1. William, born June 30, 1714. 2. Humphrey, June 19, 1716. 3. Benjamin, July 23, 1718, died March 16, 1799. 4. Joseph, June I, 1720, died January 15, 1808. 5. Thomas, June, 1723, died young. 6. Thomas, July, 1724, died young. 7. Elizabeth, died young. 8.

Thomas, born March 26, 1736-37, died March 7, 1810.
(V) Elder Humphrey (3), second son and child of William and Mary Chadbourne, was born June 19, 1716, and died in Corinth, Maine, August II, 1798. In 1757 he was elected deacon of the Baptist church in Ber- wick and in 1761 became one of its elders. He frequently conducted religious worship and was generally called Elder Chadbourne; it is said that he was ordained in the ministry. A leaf in an old family Bible contains a state- ment to the effect that Elder Chadbourne was owner of the farm in Berwick "lying on the westerly side of the main road leading from North Berwick to South Berwick village, known as the "Chick farm," and that he "was also an elder and minister." He married in April, 1742, Phebe Hobbs, who died in Wa- terboro, August 6, 1807, aged eighty-three years, by whom he had eleven children. Five of his sons were soldiers of the revolution.

(VII) Israel, eldest son and second child of Rev. William (3) and Margery (Hodgdon) Chadbourne, was born on the "Chick" farm in Berwick, November 1, 1788, and died June 5, 1865. From 1831 until 1855 he lived in the town of Alfred, and was jailer for six years and sheriff of York county for twenty years. He was a man of considerable influence and held the respect of a large acquaintance in the county; as a public official his character was above reproach. He married, June 19, 1810, Rebecca Goodwin, born October 24, 1788, died November 6, 1883, and bore her husband eight children: I. George, died Feb- ruary 13, 1863, married Nancy , who died October 18, 1861, and their only daugh- ter Ann died August 9, 1866. 2. Benjamin Franklin, born January 15, 1815. 3.

Rebecca (Goodwin) Chadbourne, wife of Israel Chadbourne, was the eldest daugh- ter of James Goodwin, who was born August 16, 1768, and married Lovey Shinburne, who was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Their children were: Rebecca (Chadbourne), Eleanor (Waldrow), James, Olive (Hart- ford), Sally (never married), Statira ( Went- worth), and Lovey (never married). James Goodwin was a son of Samuel Goodwin, son of Jamcs, son of James. The Goodwins, like the Chadbournes, were among the earliest set- tlers in Maine, and took a prominent part in the early settlement and history of the several localities in which they lived. The old Good-
win farm on the Salmon Falls river in Ber- wick continued in the family for many years and descended from father to son through sev- eral generations.
(VIII) Benjamin Franklin, son of Israel and Rebecca (Goodwin) Chadbourne, was born in Berwick, Maine, January 15, 1815, and died in the city of Portland, February 19, 1888. He obtained a good academic educa- tion, and after leaving school was appointed deputy sheriff of York county under his father. Also for some time he was clerk in the office of the registrar of deeds of the county. In 1854 he was elected member of the lower house of the state legislature. For many years Mr. Chadbourne was proprietor of one of the largest clothing and men's furnish- ing houses in the town of Berwick and carried on a very large and correspondingly success- ful business. However, immediately after the end of his term in the legislature he removed to Portland and formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, J. A. Kendall, under the firm name of Chadbourne & Kendall, dealers in woolens and tailors' trimmings. Later on he erected a commodious store building on Middle street, which afterward was removed to make room for the First National Bank building. After that the firm occupied the ground floor under the Falmouth hotel, and still later re- moved to No. 229 Middle street. At the time of Mr. Chadbourne's death the firm of Chad- bourne & Kendall was the oldest concern in business without change in the city. During the latter part of his active business life Mr. Chadbourne became considerably interested in real estate and devoted much of his time to its care and improvement, leaving his mercantile interests in charge of his partner ; and during the thirty-two years he was in business in Portland he was universally respected and his death was looked upon as a public loss. He was in all respects a capable business man, successful in his endeavors, and perfectly faithful to every trust, whether public or pri- vate. He represented ward 4 in the common council in 1859-60, during the administrations of Mayors Jewett and Thomas. In politics Mr. Chadbourne was a firm and consistent Democrat, in religious preference a Congre- gationalist, and a regular attendant at the High Street Church. He was one of the foun- ders of the organization of which the out- growth is the present Bramwell League, and was. also one of the principal founders of the league itself. His nature was generous, his companionship always agreeable, and his char- acter above suspicion.
