(XII) Richard (2), son of Joseph and Lydia (Buxton) Hutchinson, was born at Salem village, May 10, 1681. His name does not appear on the tax list after 1738, when it is supposed he moved to Maine. December 8, 1707, his father deeded to him thirty acres joining the old homestead. Between 1707 and 1737 he had accumulated a large estate, some of which was situated in the town of Middle- town, in the vicinity of the meeting-house. He married, February 16, 1713, Rachel Bance, by whom six children were born: Stephen, Lydia, Rachel, Elizabeth, Daniel and Joseph. (XIII) Stephen, eldest child of Richard (2) and Rachel (Bance) Hutchinson, was baptized August 14, 1715. In 1737 he moved to Penobscot, Maine, where he resided until the Indian outbreak in 1780, when he went to Windham, where he died October, 1788. He was a man of strong, self-reliant char- acter, and by occupation was a farmer. He married (first), February 22, 1737, Abigail Haskins, who died 1777; (second) Hannah, whose surname is not recorded; (third) Ann, widow of Joseph Legro, of Marblehead, born about 1728, died August, 1805. He was the father of seven children, all by his first wife : Stephen, Daniel, Richard, Lydia, Abigail, Samuel and Joseph.
(XIV) Rev. Joseph (2), youngest child of Stephen and Abigail (Haskins) Hutchinson, was born 1775; removed to Windham and from there to Hebron, about 1794, and died there in February, 1800. He was a soldier in the revolutionary war and was present at the defeat of Burgoyne. He was an ordained minister and known far and wide as "the traveling minister." He preached in the wil- derness and solitary places, where the small settlements had not a stated pastor. It is said that his zeal, overwork and exposure short- ened his days. In 1778 he married Rebecca, daughter of Joseph and Ann Legro, born at Marblehead, November, 1759, died at Buck- field, Maine, July, 1843 ; she was of Dutch de- scent. The children by this marriage were: Joseph, Samuel, Abigail, Lydia, Stephen, Henry H., Daniel, Rebecca, Betsey, John and Benjamin R.
(XV) John (2), tenth child of Rev. Joseph and Rebecca (Legro) Hutchinson, was born at Hebron, Maine, November 15, 1797, died at Buckfield, April 6, 1846. He was a farmer and moved with the family from Marblehead to Windham ; later settled at Buckfield, Maine. He married, April 21, 1823, Hannah, daugh- ter of Edmund and Hannah ( Sebra) Lander,

by which union were born : John Colby, Jo- siah, James (who died in infancy), all born in Backfield, Maine.
(XVI) John Colby, eldest child of John (2) and Hannah (Lander) Hutchinson, was born in Hebron, Maine, December 30, 1824, (lied in 1804. He always resided near his birthplace. He married, about 1846, Emeline E. Doc, of Hebron, Maine, daughter of Ste- phen Doc. Children: 1. James Preston, men- tioned below. 2. John Osgood, born June 23, 1849, married Claribel Merrill, September 16, 1884; one child, Helen M. Mrs. Hutchinson is an M. D. in Waltham, Massachusetts; she graduated from Wellesley College, 1883, and from the Woman's Medical College of the New York Infirmary, 1887. 3. Laura Ellen, born 1853, married Frank W. Bradford, who died in 1900; children: Ada, died May 30, 1886; John C., died September 10, 1886; Nellie, died May 12, 1886.
(XVII) James Preston, eldest child of John Colby and Emeline E. (Doe) Hutchin- son, was born at Buckfield, Maine, January 6, 1848. He attended the public schools in Hebron and the academy. When but sixteen years of age he commenced teaching school, and when he cast his first vote, at his majority, he was elected member of the school commit- tee and one year later was made superinten- dent of the schools. He was fitted for this place of educational trust and responsibility and was re-elected. In 1872 he left Hebron and went to Auburn, remaining four years, then went to Portland, Maine, where he en- gaged in the milk business in April, 1876. In this new role he succeeded remarkably well and accumulated considerable property as a direct result of his painstaking care. In 1887 he sold his milk business and went west, spending the following winter in California. He returned from the Pacific coast in the spring of 1888, and in the following June purchased a part interest in the real estate business of Louis O'Brien, who, after five years, sold his share to D. W. Verrill, since which date the management of the business has fallen on Mr. Hutchinson. He began an aggressive policy which resulted in a steady growth and expansion of the interests of the well-known firm. Eight years later, 1901, at the death of Mr. Verrill, his heir's interests were transferred to his nephew, Leon D. Ver- rill, who remained in the firm until 1905, when his interests were sold to Murray B. Watson, who is still a member of the firm of J. P. Hutchinson & Company. Mr. Hutchinson
has always been interested in and identified with any movement tending to the enhance- ment of the public good. In 1887 he was a member of the Portland city government. In 1892 he was one of the board of aldermen in Auburn, and in 1895 was elected to a seat in the Maine legislature from Auburn and re- elected in 1897. Among his varied business interests may be mentioned that he is president of the Mechanics' Savings Bank; director of the National Shoe & Leather Bank, and direc- tor of other corporations. He was a member of the public works commission a full term of four years and is a member of the Board of Trade; a director of the Central Maine Gen- eral Hospital Association, and president of the Androscoggin County Board of Under- writers. He has interests in the Auburn Building and Loan Association, of which he is the present secretary. Notwithstanding his manifold business cares, he finds time to en- joy the benefits of several fraternal organiza- tions. He is the past master of Tranquil Blue Lodge, A. F. and A. M .; past com- mander of Lewiston Commandery of Knights Templar; military inspector of Grand Com- mandery; trustee of Kora Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., and was a Kora Temple representa- tive to the Imperial Council in 1907 at Los Angeles, California. These, with various other official positions within the scope of Masonry, show him to have taken much in- terest in this great civic order. He is also prominent in the Auburn Commandery of Knights of the Golden Eagle, having served "nine years, nine months, nine hours and nine minutes" as captain, resigning to accept the higher office of colonel in the same order. He is also a worthy patron of Pine Cone Chapter, No. 26, O. E. S., of Auburn, Maine. Aside from the societies and orders already named, Mr. Hutchinson is identified with the Knights of Pythias. Politically he is a firm supporter and advocate of the principles of the Republican party. He was married, March 4, 1873, to Maria, daughter of Seth and Nancy (Hutchinson) Loring. Their children were: I. Lucy Augusta, born April 30, 1874, mar- ried Rev. Fenwick L. Leavitt, April 12, 1887, of Auburn, Maine, who is now pastor of the Universalist church in Bellows Falls, Ver- mont ; their children are: James Preston Hutchinson, born May 8, 1899, and Mina Lucy, October 6, 1902. 2. Ruth, born De- cember 15, 1879, died June 8, 1880. 3. Mina Emeline, December 25, 1883, resides at home. Mrs. Maria Hutchinson died March 19, 1905.

TUPPER The surname has an interesting history. A Thuringan magis- trate, Conrad Treffwith, in 1260 was hailed Von Toppherr or chief lord, as he was head of several septs of nearly the same name-Topfer, Toepfern, Tapfer, Top- hern; and they had a castle at Gros Toopfer and Klein Topfer, near Weimar, and possibly several landed estates besides. Being a Protes- tant, and hostile to Charles V. and Philip as well as to Pope Innocent and others, they were marked for persecution and finally lost all their property for conscience sake. The family was at Hesse Cassel about 1520, whence three brothers of this Tupper family (as the name had come to be spelled) went to Sandwich, in England, to Guernsey and to Chichester, England. Their names were Rob- ert, Henry and William. Henry, second son of the immigrant Peter, who went from Ger- many to England, had a son who was a clergy- man in the Barbadoes in America, and from him it is thought by some that the American family given in this sketch is descended.
The coat-of-arms of the family at Guern- sey : Azure on a fesse engrailed three wild boars passant or as many escallops on a canton ermine a medal suspended by a chain bearing the effigy of William and Mary or. Crest : On a mound vert a greyhound resting its dex- ter forepaw on an escutcheon azure, therein the medal of William and Mary. The reverse of the medal bears the device of a sea-fight and the legend : "Nox nulla Sacuta est." The first John Tupper in 1692 conveyed to Ad- miral Russell at St. Helen's the information that the French fleet under Tourville was in the British channel. The celebrated battle of La Hogue was fought, and for his service Tupper received a massive gold medal and chain which his descendants were permitted to wear as honorable augmentation to their arms.
. (I) Thomas Tupper was born in Sandwich, England, in 1578, and is believed by some investigators to be a grandson of Robert Tup- per, who came from Hesse Cassel, Upper Sax- ony. He was one of the ten founders of the town of Sandwich, Massachusetts, in 1637, coming thither from Lynn, where he lived a short time. He was conspicuous in town
affairs and as a religous teacher. He was greatly interested in the welfare of the In- dians. The fact that he was a sort of teacher and preacher tends to confirm the belief that he was the minister from the Barbadoes, or a son. He established the Indian church at Herring Pond. Sandwich, and spent much
time "Gospelizing the Indians." He died March 28, 1676, aged ninety-seven years two months. He was selectman many years, mem- ber of the colonial council of war, deputy to the general court nineteen years, and held various other offices of trust and honor. His original house was still standing at last ac- counts. His wife Anne died June 4, 1686, aged ninety-seven years.
(II) Thomas (2), son of Thomas ( I) Tup- per, was born at Sandwich, January 16, 1638, and died May, 1706. He was also prominent in missionary work among the Indians, and was a man of influence and usefulness. He was selectman, town clerk and for eight years deputy to the general court. He married, Oc- tober 22, 1661, Martha Mayhew, daughter of Governor Thomas Mayhew, governor of Martha's Vineyard. Governor Mayhew, a prominent man, ancestor of many distin- guished men, had a grant of land from Lord Stirling in 1641. In 1666 he conveyed to his daughter, Mrs. Tupper, much valuable real estate at Chapaquiddock, half the island of Nunnemisset, bought of the Sachem of Mano- met, Isaac ; also a share of Cuttyhunck, given him by the same sachem. At the age of sev- enty years Governor Mayhew also began to teach the Indians. Mrs. Tupper, his widow, died November 15, 1717. at Sandwich. Chil- dren, born at Sandwich: I. Martha, 1662. 2.

FROST Elder Edmund Frost, son of John Frost, of Ipswich, Suffolk, Eng- land, was born about 1610, came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the ship "Great Hope" in 1635 and settled in the Newe Towne. He was admitted a freeman by taking the oath prescribed by the general court, March 3, 1635, and he was made a ruling el- der in the church. Upon the establishment of the new town, September 8, 1636, he was one of the original proprietors. The name of the new town was changed to Cambridge, May 2, 1638.

1639, situated on what is now the westerly side of Dunston street, Cambridge, between Harvard square and Mount Auburn street. This estate he sold to Widow Catherine Had- don, and purchased about 1642 a house situ- ated on what is now the westerly side of Gor- don street. near Mason. This he sold in 1646 to Richard Eecles. He then became the owner of an estate situated probably on the east side of the present Kirkland street, and extending from Divinity Hall avenue to beyond Francis street, and this property remained in the Frost family for over two hundred years. This fre- quent transfer of property did not result in accumulated wealth, but rather the reverse. It has been said of him, "He was rich in faith and enjoyed the confidence of Shepherd and his church yet in hard trial of earthly poverty and owned little beyond his homestead and his pressing wants were released by the church as indicated by the following record of the Church of Cambridge": "Elder Frost living a longe time weake with others of his family alsoe having the ague at the same time, the Church see meete to make a contribution for his reliefe upon June 16, 1672. The sum gath- ered was in cash 7. 4. 9 and in other pay 2. 5. 8." In July, 1660, the regicides Whalley and Goffe arrived in Boston and after a short stay in Cambridge they went for greater safety to New Haven. General Goffe, in his journal, records an accident of their stay in Cambridge as follows : "23 d. 6 m .- In ye evening wee vissited Elder Frost who received us with great kindness & love, esteeming it a favor yt we would come into yr mean habitation ; as- sured us of his fervent prayers to ye Lord for us :- A glorious saint makes a mean cottage a stately palace : were I to make my choice, I would rather abide with ye sainte in his poor cottage than with any one of ye princes yt I know of at ys day in ye world." Elder Frost by his wife Thomasine had children as fol- lows: I. John, born in England about 1634, married Rebecca Andrews and lived in Salem ; he was a Mason. 2. Thomas, born in Newe Towne, April, 1637, died young. 3. Samuel, born in February, 1638, married Mary
and as his second wife Elizabeth Miller, and lived in Billerica. 4. Joseph, January 13, 1638-39, married Hannah Miller, and lived in Charlestown. 5. James (q. v.), April 9, 1640. 6.
