DAGGETT The surnames Doggett and Daggett are apparently inter- changeable, and may all be traced to the Doggett family of England. The patronymic is very ancient, and as no de has been found prefixed to it, it is probably not derived from the name of a place. There are many theories in regard to its origin, however many theories in regard to its origin. Lower, in his "Dictionary of Names," London, 1860, says: "Doggett is an old London name prob- ably corrupted from Dowgate, one of the Ro- man gateways of the city." Robert Ferguson in his "Teutonic Name System," London, 1864, says: "I think it belongs to the roots of Anglo-Saxon dugan, to be of use or value." Various other origins have been suggested, but perhaps none is more credible than the ob- vious one, that Doggett is derived from man's most faithful friend in the brute creation. This supposition is strengthened by a glance at the coats-of-arms. Of the eleven heraldic devices borne by different branches of the Doggett and Daggett families, all but three have dogs prominently displayed. Four of these emblems have two greyhounds combat- ant; another has two greyhounds in full course. Two of them have three talbots' heads on a bend sable; and another has for a crest a demi-talbot, sable-collared. A talbot is a large hunting-dog, a kind of hound with thick, hanging ears.
(I) John Doggett, also spelled Doget and Doged, was born in England, and died at Ply- mouth, Massachusetts, between May 17 and 26, 1673. Of his early life we have no posi- tive knowledge, though it is possible he may have been John Doggett, of Boxford, baptized November 4, 1602, of whom the parish records give no further information. The first we really know of the American pioneer is that he joined the "Great Emigration," and came to New England with Governor Winthrop in 1630. Seventeen emigrant ships left England in that year, of which fourteen sailed before the first of June. Four of these ships, the "Arbella," the "Jewell," the "Ambrose" and
the "Talbot," sailed from the Isle of Wight on April 8, bringing the governor and others who afterwards held prominent places in the early history of the Colony. Antiquarians agree that John Doggett came in the same fleet with Winthrop, arriving in Salem sometime be- tween June 12 and July 2, 1630, according to which of the four vessels brought him to New England. Many of the newcomers were not pleased with the location at Salem and removed to Charlestown. Soon afterward, a large number of them with Sir Richard Sal- tonstall as their leader, moved four miles up the Charles river and began a settlement after- wards known as Watertown. John Doggett was one of these, and he had a lot next to the "homestall" of Sir Richard, which was in that strip of territory annexed to Cambridge in 1754. On May 18, 1631, John Doggett took the freeman's oath, which shows that he must have been a member of Rev. George Phillips' church. This, the first church of Watertown, was organized July 28, 1630, and ranks in age next to that of Salem, the oldest in Massa- chusetts bay. John Doggett gradually in- creased his landed possessions in Watertown, but he did not remain a resident of that place more than thirteen or fourteen years. Soon after 1643 we find him among the earliest settlers of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, which then included Seekonk, Pawtucket and a con- siderable portion of the adjoining country in Rhode Island. It is possible that John Dog- gett was drawn here by the fishing, but he had another motive for seeking the neighbor- hood. On March 16, 1641, John Doggett and several others received from the Thomas May- hews, father and son, a grant of land on Mar- tha's Vineyard, which afterwards became the site of Edgarton. Doggett moved to the latter place about 1650. Although in Rehoboth but a short time Doggett's name appears frequent- ly upon the records. He was made a fence viewer in 1646, and with several others was. given leave to set up a "weier" upon the cove before William Devill's house and also one upon Pawtucket river. The latter agreement specified that the men should sell their ale- wives at two shillings a thousand, and their other fish at reasonable rates. In 1648 John Doggett was chosen one of the two deputies for the town of Rehoboth; and that same year he was appointed surveyor of the highways and also exciseman. On March 29, 1651, John Doggett was chosen corporal at Edgarton on Martha's Vineyard, which indicates that he had previously moved there. In 1652, in com- pany with the elder Mr. Mayhew, he was di-
1544

rected to lay out all the highways belonging to the town. After John Doggett's second marriage to a widow in Plymouth, Massachu- setts, which occurred six years before his death, it is probable that he spent most of his time there, because he is mentioned on the list of freemen, and his will is dated in that town, May 17, 1673.
John Doggett's first wife lived in England, but her maiden name is unknown. It is prob- able that she and their eldest child came with him to New England. The children of whom we have record are: I. John, born in Eng- land, about 1626. 2. Thomas, whose sketch follows. 3. Joseph, born in Watertown, Massachusetts, about 1634. 4. Elizabeth, Watertown, about 1638, married Jeremiah Whitton. 5. Hepzibah, Watertown, about 1643. John Doggett's second wife was Mrs. Bathsheba Pratt, of Plymouth, Massachusetts, to whom he was married August 29, 1667. There were no children by this marriage. John Doggett's will disposes of considerable real estate, and says that the farm has already been divided betwixt his three sons. The first paragraph of the document is worth quot- ing for its quaint details : "I, John Doggett, finding the symptoms of Death upon me do make this my last will and testament hereby Revoking all former wills. I give to my Be- loved wife all my household goods and all my wearing clothes and all my debts in any part of Plymouth Colonies : also I give her one ox at Sacconesit in the hands of William Week Jr : also I give my said wife that five pounds in goods which I was to receive of John Edy as part of pay for the two oxen of mine he sold for 10 pounds : also I give her the hide and Tallow of an ox that is at the Vineyard to be sent to Boston, and the four quarters of the ox I give equally to my sons and daugh- ters at the Vineyard."
(II) Thomas, second son of John Doggett, was born at Watertown, Massachusetts, about 1630, and died, probably at Edgarton, Massa- chusetts, between March 18 and September 15, 1691. In later years he spelled his name Dag -. gett. Thomas Doggett probably moved to Edgartown on the Island of Martha's Vine- yard about the time that his father took pos- session of his property there, which was in the neighborhood of 1650. On November II, 1652, Thomas Doggett and William Weeks are voted whale cutters for the year. The Plymouth Records, under date of August 3, 1670, say : "Thomas Doged was clarke to the court at the Vineyard." At one time he is said to have been magistrate of the island,
which is quite probable, as he married the eldest daughter of Governor Mayhew, who was the most influential man in that region. The Mayhew family held themselves in con- siderable estimation, and on June 20, 1679, John Daggett promises whatever Thomas Mayhew shall give to his daughter Hannah (his wife), she shall be at liberty to dispose of as she likes. The Dukes and Bristol county deeds contain many transfers of land made both by Thomas and Hannah Daggett. There are no records to show the exact date of Thomas Daggett's death, and he left no will. About 1657 Thomas Doggett or Dagzett mar- ried Hannah, eldest daughter of Governor Thomas and Jane Mayhew, of Edgartown, Massachusetts. She was born at Watertown, Massachusetts, April 15, 1635, and died at Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, in 1722. Six children are recorded: I. Thomas (2), whose sketch follows. 2. Samuel, born about 1660. 3. John, about 1662. 4. Joshua, about 1664. 5. Israel, about 1672. 6. Mercy. All of these children were born at Edgartown, Massachu- setts. Between September 12, 1695, and 1705, Mrs. Daggett married Captain Samuel Smith, of Edgartown, for her second husband.
(III) Captain Thomas (2), eldest child of Thomas ( I) and Hannah (Mayhew ) Daggett, was born at Edgartown, Massachusetts, about 1658, and died there August 23, 1726. He moved to Bristol about 1685, and among the list of families recorded as belonging to the "Church of Christ in Bristol," February II, 1688-89, is Thomas Daggett, his wife, two children and two servants. Among the many transfers of land to which he was one of the parties, he is mentioned as Lieutenant Daggett until 1697, and then as Captain Daggett, be- ginning with a deed in 1705. The following item from the diary of Rev. William Homes, of Chilmark, is of interest: "Aug 28, 1726, On Thursday night last Capt. Thomas Dag- gett of oldtown (Edgartown) departed this life. He has been ill several weeks. He was a peaceable man and well inclined, and of good understanding." The will of Captain Dag- gett is dated July 8, 1726, only a few weeks before his death. The inventory is recorded May 12, 1727, and shows real estate valued at thirteen hundred and ninety-three pounds, a handsome property for those times. About 1685 Captain Thomas (2) Daggett married Elizabeth Hawes, who died at Edgartown, Massachusetts, between December 25, 1735, and February 15, 1733. Children: I. Sam- uel, whose sketch follows. 2. Hannah, bap- tized Bristol, Rhode Island, July 22, 1688. 3.

Ten transfers of land were made in his name, and in these documents he is called "carpenter" and "housewright" of Tisbury. On December 23, 1734, Seth Dag- gett was united in marriage to Elizabeth, daughter of Abner and Jean (Cottle) West, who was born July 18, 1720, and died on her eighty-seventh birthday. Abner West, Mrs. Daggett's father, was the son of Thomas West, and grandson of Francis West, who settled in Virginia in 1607. The latter was rear admiral in the British navy under the title of Sir Francis. His son Thomas came from Plymouth to Martha's Vineyard in 1675, and settled in Chilmark. To Seth and Eliza- beth (West) Daggett were born ten children : I. William. 2 and 3. Peter and Samuel P. (twins), May 4, 1738. 4. Samuel, whose sketch follows. 5. Nathan. 6.

(VI) Captain Samuel (2), fourth son of Seth and Elizabeth ( West) Daggett, was born at Tisbury, Massachusetts, May 9, 1745, and died at New Vineyard, Maine, May 30, 1835. In 1794 Captain Daggett, accompanied by his only child, Samuel (3), movel from Martha's Vineyard to the district of Maine, then a part of Massachusetts, and settled in what was af - terwards New Vineyard. now a part of Indus- try. He is spoken of as a man of some property, careful and methodical in business transactions, precise in his use of language,
and a moral, upright man. In 1781 he was in command of the ship "Mars," six guns, twenty men. About 1763 Captain Samuel (2) Dag- gett married at Tisbury, Massachusetts, Sarah Butler, born August 23, 1744. She was buried in the old Granary burying-ground at Boston, and the inscription on her stone reads: "In memory of Mrs Sarah Daggett the amiable consort of Capt Samuel Daggett died March 27, 1789 aged 44 years 7 mos & 4 days. A kind companion & tender parent.
In life the ways of truth she trod And now we trust she lives with God."
Captain Samuel (2) and Sarah (Butler) Dag- gett had one child, Samuel (3), mentioned in the next paragraph. Captain Daggett married for his second wife, at Holmes Hole, Massa- chusetts, Abigail, daughter of Elijah and Jedi- dah (Chase) Daggett, who was born in 1766, and died at Farmington, Maine, September 30, 1846.
(VII) Captain Samuel (3), only child of Captain Samuel (2) and Sarah (Butler) Dag- gett, was born at Tisbury, Massachusetts, July II, 1764, and died in that place, September 23, 1860. At the age of thirty, Captain Samuel (3) Daggett went to New Vineyard, now a part of Industry, Maine, and settled there in company with his father. Fourteen years af- terward he returned to Martha's Vineyard, and resumed his former occupation of pilot at Holmes Hole. He saw some revolutionary service, and was chairman of the board of selectmen in New Vineyard in 1803. In his ninety-sixth year Captain Daggett composed the following :
"Universalist Creed.
Upright in heart, in all our dealings just,
In God's free grace we put our only trust ; And in his boundless, universal love,
We place our hope of Heaven and bliss above ; And when life's scene is drawing to a close,
Calmly we sink into our last repose ;
And as in Adam death o'er all doth reign
Even so in Christ shall all be raised again."
On October 3, 1790, Captain Samuel (3) Daggett married Rebecca, daughter of Isaac and Rebecca (Tobey) Daggett, who was born at Tisbury, Massachusetts, June 16, 1773, and died at Holmes Hole, Massachusetts, September 23, 1832. Nine children were born of this marriage, seven of them at New Vineyard, Maine, and the eldest and youngest at Vine- yard Haven, Massachusetts. Children : I.

He then went to New York, and studied law in the offices of Nelson & Nelson, and after- wards in the offices of Powers & Powers, of Houlton, Maine. Mr. Daggett was admitted to the bar in 1878, and for two years practiced his profession at Fort Fairfield, Maine, re- moving in 1880 to Presque Isle, which he has made his permanent home. He is a Republi- can in politics, and held the position of county attorney from 1890 to 1895. Mr. Daggett served as a member of Governor Henry B. Cleave's executive council for one term, 1895- 96; also as a member of Governor W. T. Cobb's council for one term, 1907-08, and is at present (1909) a member of Governor B. M.

HURD The Hurds of New England are quite numerous, and trace their lineage in America to an early date in the Colonial period. Bearers of the name were pioneer settlers in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maine.
(I) John Hurd, immigrant ancestor, located at what is now Dover, New Hampshire, in 1636. Four years later the people of Dover met to establish a formal government, and the document known as the "Combination for Government" was signed by forty-two men, among whom was John Hurd. In the same year there was a grant of six acres of land in Cocheco to John Hurd; February 26, 1656, there was a grant of forty acres to John Hurd ; in 1661 he with two others was chosen sur- veyors at a town meeting ; the year following he was chosen constable for Cocheco, and in 1665 he was chosen as a grand juror. He was evidently a man of much importance and

possessed of sound judgment, as he was fre- quently chosen to settle disputes, his counsel being always relied upon. Traditional his- tory says that he built a block house at Dover as a matter of protection against the hostile Indians. He married, about 1642, Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Joseph Hull, of York, Maine, and among their children was a son Benjamin, see forward, and possibly a son John, as the father was often mentioned as John Hurd, Sr., indicating that he had a son by that name.
(II) Benjamin, son of John and Elizabeth (Hull) Hurd, was a native of Dover, New Hampshire. He was an early settler in North Berwick, York county, Maine. He married a Miss Andrews, and among their children was a son Benjamin.
(III) Benjamin (2), son of Benjamin (I) Hurd, born in North Berwick, Maine, No- vember 4, 1777, died there June 8, 1858. He married Joanna Chadbourne, a native of North Berwick, born August 15, 1782, died October 15, 1842. They were the parents of eight children: Rufus, Mary, Olive, Sarah, Isaiah, see forward; Frances, Phebe, Benja- min.
(IV) Isaiah, fifth child of Benjamin (2) and Joanna (Chadbourne) Hurd, was born in North Berwick, Maine, in 1810. Adopting agriculture as a means of livelihood, he con- ducted general farming upon practical lines, thus realizing prosperous results, and he also dealt in livestock. In his earlier years he was a Whig, and later acted with the Free Soil party. He married Mary Smith, born in North Berwick, 1811, daughter of Moses and Susanna (Brackett) Smith. They were the parents of eight children, three of whom, Mir- anda E., Mrs. Olivia S. Abbott and Belle M., are no longer living. The survivors are : Moses S., Mrs. Olive M. Hutchings, Daniel A., Mrs. Mary C. Johnson and Mrs. Rowena F. Wentworth. Mr. and Mrs. Hurd were members of the Free Will Baptist church. Mr. Hurd was accidentally drowned Decem- ber 13. 1849, while still young and vigorous, being but thirty-nine years old, thus depriving his family of a loving husband and father, and the community of one of its most useful and progressive members. Mrs. Hurd sur- vived her husband many years, passing away September 1I, 1888.
(V) Hon. Daniel Almon, second son and fifth child of Isaiah and Mary ( Smith) Hurd, was born in North Berwick, Maine, November
4 1840. Having pursued the primary £ branches of study in the district schools, he
advanced his education at the academy of Lebanon, Maine. Since early manhood Mr. Hurd has given his attention to farming, which line of work he has continued in con- nection with his other business pursuits, and for several years has taken a special interest in raising fine stock, at the present time (1908) having on his farm about forty head of fine bred cattle. By adopting scientific methods, and giving his personal supervision to the de- tails, he has made farming a most pronounced success. In 1894 he became interested in the North Berwick Bank as stockholder and di- rector ; the following year he was elected vice- president of the bank and served in that ca- pacity until January 1, 1908, when he was elected president to succeed Mr. F. O. Snow, and the duties of these varied positions has been performed by him in a highly creditable manner. He has also been a stockholder and director of the North Berwick Building As- sociation since its organization, has served as director, vice-president and president of the North Berwick Agricultural Society, and is now serving the second term as president of the John Hurd Association. His brother, Moses S. Hurd, was the first president of the association.
Mr. Hurd has always taken an active inter- est in politics. Becoming a Republican in early life, he cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln, and has voted for every Republican president and every Republican governor of the state of Maine since, never missing a Na- tional or State election. He has served as member of the Republican town committee for more than twenty-five years, and as chairman of the committee for a number of years. He has served on the board of selectmen ; as town treasurer and collector ; as deputy-sheriff for fifteen years ; as postmaster, having been ap- pointed by President Harrison, holding office from 1890 to 1894 ; represented his district in the lower branch of the state legislature from 1890 to 1894, during which time he was a member of the committee on banks and bank- ing, also member of the committee on manu- factures : a member of the state senate for the years 1897-98-99-1900, serving as chairman of committee on banks and banking, also com- mittee on reformed schools and federal rela- tions. He was a delegate to the Republican National convention at Philadelphia. Pennsyl- vania, in 1900, that nominated William Mc- Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt. He attends the Free Will Baptist church, contributing of his substance to the support of the same. He affiliates with Yorkshire Lodge, Ancient Free

and Accepted Masons, of North Berwick; Unity Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, of South Berwick; Bradford Commandery, Knights Templar, of Saco; also the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (lodge and encampment at North Berwick ).
Mr. Hurd married, September 13, 1893, Mrs. Mary Rogers Hobbs, nee Hill, born in North Berwick, March 27, 1839, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Buffum) Hill (a sketch of whom follows this in the work). She was the widow of William Hobbs, for- merly agent and treasurer of the North Ber- wick Company.
