The Harris family here treated
HARRIS comes of English ancestors and dates its history in New England from the first half of the seventeenth century. In England the family is of great antiquity and among those who bore that sur- name in the mother country were persons of large estate and high official and social sta- tion. In New England the particular family here considered begins its history in Charles- town in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, with one who has been referred to as John Harris, of Charlestown and North Yarmouth, and who is said by some chroniclers to have been the John Harris who married Amy Hills. This, however, is not certain, for there were two John Harrises in Charlestown and not of the same family, so far as is known. The John Harris who married Amy Hills appears to have remained in Massachusetts, and spent his life in Charlestown and Newbury, and there is no. evidence that he ever went to Maine, while the John Harris, of Charles- town and North Yarmouth, did remove to that colony and lived there for a time at least. The more probable theory is, therefore, that John Harris, of Charlestown and North Yarmouth, was a son of Thomas Harris, of Charlestown, whose grandfather was John Harris, of Dev- onshire, England. These premises are not assumed as having substantial proof to sustain
them, but rather a reasonable and logical con- clusion arrived at after careful examination of the circumstances connected with the lives and movements of the two Charlestown fam- ilies, the head of each of which was John Har- ris and whose lives so far as the meagre rec- ords show were contemporary.
(I) John Harris lived in Ottery, St. Mary's, Devonshire, England.
(II) Thomas, son of John Harris, of Ot- tery, was baptized there August 26, 1806.
(III) John (2), of Charlestown and North Yarmouth, perhaps a son of Thomas and grandson of John (1) Harris, of Ottery, Dev- onshire, England, was founder of the New England family of the Harris surname pur- posed to be treated in these annals. He is the John Harris who by some reliable chroniclers is said to have married Amy Hills and had several children, among them a son Joseph, the latter an ancestor in the line of the family here under consideration; but such claim is not put forth here, neither is it disputed.
(IV) Joseph, of Charlestown and North Yarmouth, son of John (2) Harris, and per- haps a grandson of Thomas Harris, and great- grandson of John ( 1) Harris, of Ottery, Dev- onshire, England, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, November 17, 1665, removed to North Yarmouth, Maine, lived there and subsequently returned to Charlestown. He married Naomi Stevens, born December 16, 1665, died December 16, 1710, daughter of Amos Stevens, of North Yarmouth. They had eight children: I. Joseph, born August 4, 1689. 2. Jonathan, December 2, 1690. 3.
Amos, August 19, 1693, married, November 8, 1722, Hannah Laraby (Larrabee). 4. Sam- uel, August 18, 1695, married, January 6, 1718-19, Mary Newcomb. 5. Naomi, Septem- ber 13, 1697, married November 8, 1716, Wil- liam Gowin. 6. Mary, December 7, 1699, mar- ried October 16, 1729, Daniel Edes. 7. Jo- siah, January 9, 1701-02. 8. Huldah, March 29, 1704, married September 7, 1727, Samuel Edes.
(V) Josiah, son of Joseph and Naomi (Stevens) Harris, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, January 9, 1701-02, and mar- ried, November 28, 1723, Hannah King, born January 13, 1704-05, probably a daughter of Ebenezer and Hannah (Manning) King. They had six children: I. Josiah, born July 31, 1725, married (first) 1747, Millicent Esta- brook (second) Joanna Abraham. 2. Wil- liam, June 7, 1727, married, August 20, 1767, Rebecca Mason. 3.

He remained there one year engaged in recording legal doc- uments and performing such other duties as were required of him, then in 1788 returned to Boston and became clerk in a mercantile house, but in the following year he went again to East Machias and there laid the foundation of his own later business career as an em- ployee of E. H. & N. J. Robbins, of Boston and Milton, Massachusetts, who were also the founders of the town of Robbinston, Maine. After a time he acquired a partnership inter- est in the firm and still later began business on his own account.

(VIII) Peter Talbot, son of Josiah (2) and Lucy (Talbot) Harris, was born in East Machias, Maine, September 12, 1808, and died October 4, 1855. He was a successful mer- chant and a man of large influence in the town. He took a prominent part in public affairs, served in various important local capacities and was representative from East Machias to the state legislature. He married, August 25, 1835, Deborah Longfellow, born Machias, December 27, 1809, died in East Machias, September 22, 1893, daughter of Jacob and Tahpenes (Longfellow) Longfellow and of the same family from which came the poet Long- fellow.

(IX) Austin, son of Peter Talbot and De- borah (Longfellow) Harris, was born in East Machias, Maine, July 10, 1841, and died there January 7, 1899. He was a man of extensive influence in the state, was devoted to the best interests of native town and was highly re- spected by all who came in contact with him. His early education was received at Washing- ton Academy, and his later at Amherst Col- lege, where he graduated in 1863. He then entered upon a mercantile business in East Machias, but after a few years forsook this for the lumber business in Charlemagne, Can- ada, where he resided from 1872 until 1877.

Harris & Company and J. O. Pope & Com- pany until his death. The demand for his services in public office was greater than he was able to grant ; but he had served the state as representative, senator and member of the Republican state committee, and was treasurer of Washington county and treasurer and ex- ecutive officer of Washington Academy at the time of his death. In his young manhood he was active in Free Masonry, and held office in the Grand Lodge of Maine. He was a member of Warren Lodge, No. 2, and a char- ter member of Washington and Warren Royal Arch Chapter. He married, December 15. 1868, Emily Frances Pope, daughter of Sam- uel Warren and Betsey Jones (Talbot) Pope, who survives him. They had six children: I.

(IX) Herbert, son of Peter Talbot and De- borah (Longfellow) Harris, was born in East Machias, Maine, December 17, 1846, and is widely known in musical circles throughout New England, an organist and teacher of music of superior ability. His elementary edu- cation was acquired in public schools, his sec- ondary education at Washington Academy, and his higher education at Bowdoin College, where he entered in 1868 for the classical course, and graduated A.B. in 1872; A.M. in course, 1875. After leaving college he took up the study of music in Boston, and having attained the degree of proficiency to which he aspired has since devoted his attention to teaching, and with most gratifying success. As an organist he ranks with the best per- formers in New England, and as such has officiated in both Boston and Portland churches, besides having taught music in each of those cities. Mr. Harris also is very well known in social and fraternal circles, espe- cially in Free Masonry, he having been made a thirty-third degree Mason in 1891. He holds membership in Warren Lodge, No. 2, F. and A. M., of East Machias, the second lodge instituted in this state, and is a charter member of Warren Chapter, R. A. M., St. Elmo Commandery, K. T., Delta Lodge of Perfection and Deering Chapter, Princes of Jerusalem, A. A. S. R. He is past senior grand warden of the Grand Lodge of Maine, F. and A. M., past grand king of the Grand
Chapter, R. A. M., past commander of the Grand Commandery, K. T., of Maine, and has been grand organist of the Supreme Coun- cil, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, A. A. S. R. He is an occasional contributor to the various periodicals of the craft and also to the general literature of the order; and at the present time he is foreign correspondent of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. He is a Phi Beta Kappa, member of the Maine Genealogical Society and the Maine Historical Society. The recently published "Genealogy of the Harris Family of Machias, Maine" is his work and the result of his exhaustive re- searches in the boundless field of genealogy.
TALBOT In A. D. 1035 Hugh Talebot granted a charter to Trinite du Mont, Rouen, Normandy, and A.D. 1066 le Sire Talebot, a Norman knight, went into England with William the Con- queror, and fought under him at Hastings ; his name is on the roll of Battle Abbey. There were peers among the English Talbots, and nobles, gentlemen, scholars, and men famed in the wars. In 1442 John Talbot was created first Earl of Shrewsbury. This earldom was actually patented to Talbot as Earl of Salap. but both he and his descendants called them- selves Earls of Shrewsbury. The living rep- resentative of the Shrewsburys is Major Gen- eral Honorable Sir Reginald Arthur John Talbot, son of the eighteenth Earl of Shrews- bury. He is the governor of Victoria, Aus- tralia, and fought in the war with the Zulus. Among the more distinguished American Tal- bots there may be mentioned the name of Cap- tain Silas Talbot, U. S. N., Governor Talbot, of Massachusetts, and Bishop Ethelbert Tal- bot, of the Protestant Episcopal church in Pennsylvania. Generally the Talbots both of the mother country and America run to the learned professions, the arts and the sciences.
(I) Peter Talbot, immigrant, son of George Talbot, was born in Blackburn, England, and came to America under duress, from Carr, Lancashire, England. While at school in Edinburgh he was taken with others and im- pressed on board a British man of war bound for America, and when off the coast of New England he sprang overboard and swam ashore at some place in Rhode Island. He then made his way to Dorchester and went to work to earn money sufficient to pay his passage back to England, but the vessel sailed without him. From Dorchester he went to Chelmsford, married there and, according to the tradition, afterward made another attempt

to return to the mother country, and being de- feated he determined to remain in New Eng- land. He raised a family, and while living in Chelmsford his home was attacked by In- dians, his wife made prisoner and her infant child was killed. The other children con- cealed themselves and thus escaped capture, although the eldest son was killed while fight- ing the savages. The wife was afterward re- captured and afterward the family settled in that part of Dorchester which now is Stough- ton. Peter Talbot died about 1704. He mar- ried, January 12, 1677, Mary Waddell, who died August 29, 1687, and he afterward mar- ried for his second wife, Hannah (Clarke) Frizzell, widow of William Frizzell and daugh- ter of William and Margery Clarke.

He was a husbandman and lived in that part of Dor- chester which became Stoughton, on lands which have remained in possession of his de- scendants to the present time. On April 4, 1714, he was admitted to communion in the church in Milton, and November 12, 1717, "Bro. Talbot and wife," with others, "had their dismissal to ye church in Dorchester New Village." He married (first) February 18, 1706-07, in Milton, Mary Turell, daughter of Daniel and Anna (Barrell) Turell; and mar- ried (second), July 27, 1737, Elizabeth With- ington, who died April 30, 1774, aged seventy- four years.

He came to Maine in 1771 and for many years was one of the most influential men in the eastern part of the state; a man of large stature, muscular, and of corresponding mental strength. In business life he was en- ergetic and thrifty, and hence was successful. He fulfilled the duties of various town offices, and when representative to the general court of Massachusetts it was his custom to ride on horseback from Machias to Boston to attend the sessions of that body. At the time of his death he was nearly ninety-one years old.

not refused to take a hand in civic affairs and their official record stands to their credit as faithful and deserving public servants.
(I) Thomas Mildon was born in Devon- shire, England, March 5, 1810, and died Sep- tember 13, 1906, at Weymouth, Nova Scotia. He came from England to Weymouth in 1845 and was a school teacher. He married Susan Mary Davis, of Somersetshire, England, born November 28, 1826, died November 28, 1906, her eightieth birthday. She was a relative of Sir Robert Sale of England, who distin- guished himself in the Crimean war. Chil- dren : Walter Brind, Elizabeth, Frederick Robert Sales, who was mayor of Marlboro, Massachusetts; Thomas C. and William S. (twins), and Maria. Up to the time Thomas was ninety-six he had lost none of his seven children, none of his nine grandchildren nor of his five great-grandchildren.
(II) The Hon. William Shaw, third and twin son of Thomas and Susan Mary (Davis) Mildon, was born in Weymouth, Nova Sco- tia, March 16, 1855. The Weymouth schools supplied his tutorage, and he engaged in the grocery business some time before coming to Eastport, Maine, in 1881, where he established a department store which he still conducts, and there gained friends, trade and with these official preferment. He was alderman of his adopted city in 1898, overseer of the poor in 1899, mayor in 1904. His recognized fitness for this office was conceded by his political opponents and he was courageous and ener- getic in the performance of his duties and prompt to push to completion measures of public utility needed by the exigencies of the times. Mayor Mildon was a member of the board of trade, of Eastern Lodge, No. 7, An- cient Free and Accepted Masons, of which he was past worshipful master, of Royal Arch Chapter, of which he is past high priest; of St. Bernard Commandery, Knights Templar ; of Border Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Moose Island Encampment, Patri- archs Militant Odd Fellows; and of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Mayor Mildon worships at the Episcopal church. He married, April 2, 1883, Sabina, daughter of Nathaniel and Ellen (Churchill) Travis, of Kentville, Nova Scotia.
William Dodge, eldest son of DODGE John and Margery Dodge, of Somersetshire, England, came to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1629, in the "Lion's Whelp," sailing from Yarmouth, England, May II, and landing at Salem on June 29. He
was described as a skillful and painstaking husbandman, and was recommended to be pro- vided with a team of horses, and especially commended to the care of Governor Endicott by Rev. John White, in a letter to the gov- ernor, sent with "forty plates for Dorchester and places adjacent, many mariners, species of ordnance, provisions, and four goats," as the cargo of the ship, consigned to the gov- ernor. William Dodge settled in that part of Salem which became Beverly in 1668, then known as Bass River Side, separated by the bay from Salem proper. He possibly returned to England to be married. He became free- man April 17, 1637 ; received a grant of sixty acres September 3, 1637; on June 29, 1644, bought two hundred acres, paying forty pounds, "late the property of Peter Palfrey," granted to Palfrey at the time John Balch, William Frost, John Woodberry and Richard Conant each received two hundred acres, a part of the Old Planters' tract, granted by the town to these immigrant settlers, January 25, 1635. William Dodge came to America nine years earlier than his brother Richard, over whom he thus gained prominence, being gen- erally recognized as the ancestor of all the Dodges in America. However, the records show that the descendants of Richard are more numerous. William was probably twenty-five years old when he landed at Salem, and Rich- ard was probably two years his senior ; a sec- ond brother, Michael, lived and died in East Coker. Their parents were John and Margery Dodge. The name of William Dodge's wife is not known. His father, when William re- turned to England to gain his consent that he should make a permanent home in America, imposed the condition that he should marry, and he would make him a present. But one deed made in William's lifetime gives the name of a wife-"Mary, wife of Captain Wil- liam;" she was a Conant when she married, and was widow of John Balch. William Dodge was selectman, grand juryman, trial juryman, and served the town in various ways. Chil- dren : I. Captain John, see forward. 2. Cap- tain William, born September 19, 1640, died March, 1720. 3. Hannah, 1642, married Sam- tel Proctor, who died 1660; (second) Thomas Woodberry, December, 1661. Israel Dodge, killed in the Narragansett war, 1675, may have been another son.
(II) John, son of William Dodge, was born probably in Salem, 1636. When he came to manhood he settled in the Beverly section. later annexed to the town of Wenham. and here built a saw and probably grist mill on

Mill river, in Wenham Neck ; the mill was yet in use in 1872. Ile received of his father's estate about eighty acres about the mill, and five acres of meadow on the same side of Langham Bank. lle was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, John Dodge, who died in England, 1635. John Dodge (2) was an important man in Beverly, and held every town office requiring intelligence and business ability, between 1667 and 1702; was deputy to the general court, 1676-78-79-80-81-83; was cornet, or standard bearer, and afterward lieutenant, of the Wenham militia company, with which he served in the Narragansett war, 1675. He married, April 10, 1659, Sarah Proctor. who died February 8, 1705-06, aged sixty years; he married (second) Elizabeth, widow of John Woodberry. John Dodge died I7II, and his widow 1726, aged ninety-four years. Children : John, William, Sarah, Hannah, Hannah, Martha and Jonathan.
(III) Jonathan, youngest child of Lieuten- ant John and Sarah Dodge, was born between 1675 and 1680. He lived in Salem and Bev- erly Cove, was a man of considerable means, and when he died his estate inventoried £1,822 5s.
