(I) Gardiner Mitchell Sturdivant was bom in Cumberland, Maine, and spent his entire long and very useful life in that town. He was one of the most faithful members of the First Parish Congregational Church, and was greatly beloved by all who knew him. He was a dealer in cattle and beef, and was noted far and wide for the fine stock on his farm. He married Harriet Russell, of one of the enterprising old Maine families, and his children were: I. William Russell. 2. Oscar R., who is a retired greenhouse keeper at Cumberland. 3. Eliphalet, deceased. 4. Lyman P., deceased, was a custom house officer who was very faithful in the perform- ance of his duties. 5. Alfred H., was for some time a very efficient police officer in Boston, Massachusetts, and was shot by an insane woman in the streets of that city in 1868.
(II) William Russell, son of Gardiner Mitchell and Harriet (Russell) Sturdivant, was born in Cumberland, Maine, December 13, 1844. He studied in the schools of his native town and in the celebrated North Yarmouth Academy. He was a very successful farmer and milkman, removing to Westbrook in 1878, where he had a large milk cart route. After this he had charge of the Falmouth town farm for some years. From 1877 to 1887 he lived in the city of Portland. In 1887 he removed to Fryeburg, where he has
ever since resided, and is now practically re- tired from active life. As he is an artist of no mean ability, he devotes most of his time to painting pictures, his best ones being of various animals which he has been fond of studying in a very careful and sympathetic manner ever since he was a small lad. Though never seeking after an office of any kind, he has always had a large influence in political matters in all the towns where he has lived, and many a successful candidate knows well how much he owes to the "gritty and jovial championship" of Will Sturdivant. He is a member of the Masonic lodge and deeply in- terested in its very important work. Mr. Sturdivant married Eunice Fowler, daughter of Thomas and Nasie N. (Leighton) Fowler, and his children are: I. Gardiner Luther, born March 1, 1873. 2. William Thomas, who was a very successful salesman, and died in Vir- ginia. 3. Roy Northleigh, who is a mechanic, and is now in the Canal Zone.
(III) Gardiner Luther, son of William Rus- sell and Eunice (Fowler) Sturdivant, was born in Westbrook, March 1, 1873, and is now a very highly esteemed citizen of Yarmouth. He was educated in the Cumberland schools, and graduated from the Fryeburg Academy in 1894.
He received his degree of M. D. from the Bowdoin Medical College in 1899, and took a post-graduate course in the Post Grad- uate College Hospital in New York City, in 1904. He has been a very successful physi- cian, residing in Bethel, Maine, from 1899 to the time of his removal to Yarmouth in 1905. He is a member of the Oxford County Medi- cal Society, the Maine State Medical Asso- ciation, and the American Medical Association. In politics he is a Democrat, though he is an independent voter who is well posted in na- tional affairs. He is one of the most helpful members of the First Parish Congregational Church, of Yarmouth, and for some time has been its chorister.
In 1900 Dr. Sturdivant married Miss Ida Louise Palmer, of Brunswick, Maine, daugh- ter of Charles P. Palmer and his wife Sarah, both these parents being widely known and highly respected. The wife was a very successful piano teacher for some years, and is one of Maine's most accomplished musi- cians in vocal and instrumental music. One can never forget a visit at this home so full of true music and Christian kindness. The children of Dr. and Mrs. Sturdivant are : Dora Palmer and Gardiner Francis, children of great promise.

The word Moore, More, or Moor, comes from the Gaelic MOORE and signifies lofty, proud, power- ful chieftain. In ancient Gaul (now France) Gaelic was the universal language, and it was from Gaul, in times remote, that the first adventurers possessed with the spirit of dis- covery beyond the setting sun crossed the channel and made homes on the first land on which their frail vessels found harbor. That among these were lofty men and power- ful chieftains is undeniable, and hence More, Moor and Moore became the proprietors in what became England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, in each of which countries families of the name are common and frequent, as they have been farther west beyond the greater channel since the earliest settlement of New England, New York and Virginia three hun- dred years ago. The ship "Mary and John" left Plymouth, England, March 30, 1630, hav- ing on board besides the religious leaders, Rev. John Wareham and Mr. Maverick, the warriors or progenitors of warriors: Captain John Mason, the annihilator of the Pequod Indians, Captain Richard Southgate and Mar- tha Grant, the forbear of General Ulysses S. Grant, the chieftain of America's greatest civil war, John More and seven score other souls, each a brave adventurer bent on se- curing in a new world a place in which to live and propogate so as to make homes and fam- ilies worthy of the names they severally bore. Most of these adventurers were from Dorset- shire, England, and they had shipped at Ply- mouth after a day of fasting and prayer, which prayers had been continued daily for the seventy days before the good ship made landing at Nantucket in the Colony of Mas- sachusetts Bay, and proceeded to Boston town and thence became first settlers of the adja- cent town of Dorchester, named for their mother home. The landing was made June 8, 1630, and they proceeded to build a church for Mr. Wareham around which nucleus the town was built and from the teacher within the walls and the church officers the town was governed. John More was a deacon in the church, a patentee under the king, and a freeholder under the grace of the general court of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay. He found the town too small for his ambi- tious spirit, and in 1665 he joined the party who broke away from new found homes to make the tedious journey through the wilder- ness, then untrodden by white men, whose only guide was the stars and a compass, and whose way had to be blazed with the pioneer's
ax, and the road narrow, long and winding,. had to be bridged by felling trees across the streams where the depth of water forbid ford- ing. The Connecticut valley was their ob- jective point, and they made their camp at Windsor and began the foundation of a new town. There were sixty in the company, and they were encumbered by their household goods and domestic animals, the less portable of their goods having been sent by water around the cape and through the Long Island sound, up the Connecticut river. Alas, the vessel failed to arrive, and their beds and bedding, with the families' household necessi- ties, never reached them, and winter coming on, many deserted and returned to Boston on the trail they made in coming, and a few adventurous spirits passed the winter subsist- ing on acorns and the game they could hunt. In the spring John Wareham, the minister, with a new party of adventurous souls, joined the depleted colony and a church was built, and around it, with Mr. Wareham as their spiritual guide, and with Mr. More as a deacon of the church and an official in the town government, the town of Windsor took on new life. The First Church had been erected near the old stockade that had fur- nished shelter and protection through the win- ter. John More built a substantial house, owned several farms, was a member of the jury in 1639-42, and an original petitioner of the land on which the town was built. He owned a ferry and a factory for making pike, and an original surveyor and leading spirit in the formation of the newer town of Sims- bury. When the place was made to suffer by the cruelty of King Philip in 1675, John More came to the rescue of the sufferers with food, raiment and new houses to replace those burned, and the good man ended his labors and was called to his reward at Windsor, September 18, 1677. He left a son John and two daughters: Mindwell, born July 10, 1642, and Elizabeth, who married Nathaniel Loomis, November 24, 1654, and who died July 23, 1728, aged ninety years. His land in Sims- bury descended to the Moores, and they own parts of it to this day.
(II) John, son of Deacon John Moore, or More, had eight children: John, the eldest ; Captain Thomas, a soldier in King Philip's war; Samuel, Nathaniel, Edward, Joseph and Joshua (twins), Martha. He built a good house as a wedding present for his son John in 1690, and it was occupied by Captain Thomas Moore and a long line of his descend- ants in the direct Moore line, and is still in:

a good state of preservation on the main street of Simsbury, fronting the village green or common.
Early in the spring of 1775 Eben and John Moore, residents of Scarborough, in York county, Maine, left that peaceful and relatively old settlement to make a home in the wilder- ness farther beyond the bounds of civilization. A tract known as Parson's Purchase attracted their notice, and they secured land on the eastern borders of the purchase, lots Nos. 17 and 18, near the dividing line of the town of Newfield, and they each built a log cabin. In June John Moore joined the revolutionary army at Boston and aided in the investment of that town occupied by British troops, leav- ing his brothers and family in the wilderness. On returning from this patriotic service he returned to his home in Parsonsfield, built a large log house and a frame house in 1787, having meantime married Anne Milliken, of Parsonsfield, a woman "of rare ability and great force of character." Of this union four- teen children were born, and ten of the chil- dren reached maturity, married and settled in Maine. John Moore was an industrious and thrifty farmer and he raised good crops, his first crop on his newly made farm producing one hundred bushels of corn, which enabled him to add a half lot to his purchase. He died in 1823, aged seventy-five years, and his widow lived to 1844 and died at the age of seventy-seven years. His son John succeeded to the ownership of the farm, paying the other heirs $1,500 for it, and in 1867 he sold the farm, with new buildings he had erected and all the improvements he had made, to John F. Moore, son of Ira Moore, who lived in Lisbon, Maine. The children of John and Anne (Milliken) Moore were: Isaac, Sarah, John, Samuel, James, Jane, Henry (q. v.), Ira, Joseph, Mary.
(III) Henry, son of John and Anne (Mil- liken) Moore, was born in Parsonsfield, Maine. He lived in Durham, Maine. He married Rhoda Jordan, of Durham, and their children were: Sarah, Albert, Henry, Emily, Eliza A. (q. v.).
(IV) Eliza A., daughter of Henry and Rhoda (Jordan) Moore, was born in Dur- ham, Maine, in 1829, and in 1857 she married Dr. Samuel Otis Clark, who was born in Effingham, New Hampshire, in 1827, and died in Limerick, Maine, April, 1903. Robert, father of Dr. Samuel Otis Clark, was born in Eliot, Maine, in 1798, married Mary Dear- born, of Effingham, New Hampshire, and their children were: Asahel W., Charles L.,
Frank, Emma, Samuel Otis (q. v.). He died in Effingham, New Hampshire, in 1862.
Dr. Samuel Otis Clark was educated in the district schools of Effingham, and prepared himself for matriculation at Dartmouth Col- lege, where he supported himself by teaching school, and he completed his medical course at the University of Vermont, where he was graduated M. D. in 1854. He practiced medi- cine at Shapleigh and Newfield, Maine, and in 1866 opened his office in Limerick, Maine, where he continued a useful and profitable practice up to the time of his death in 1903. He was a Democrat in political faith and a Congregational in church affiliation. His fra- ternal affiliation was membership in Freedom Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Limerick, Maine.
Ralph Harrison Clark, nephew and adopted son of Dr. Samuel Otis and Eliza A. (Moore) Clark, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, April 29, 1875. He was a pupil in Limerick Academy, Maine, and a graduate of Bowdoin College, A. B., 1897, and of the University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, M. D., 1900. He began the practice of medicine in Limerick, Maine, on the death of his adopted father, in 1903, and although a young man he met the responsibility of the physical care of a large constituency so long under the skillful care of such an eminent practitioner as the elder Dr. Clark, and he is receiving the same kind consideration and esteem won by him in a long term of practice. He inherited the political faith of his adopted father, and took his place in his lodge, and has been a mem- ber of Freedom Lodge, Ancient Free and Ac- cepted Masons, No. 42, of Limerick, since his initiation in 1902, and already has advanced several degrees in the work of the order to the Royal Arch Chapter, of Cornish. He is also a member of Highland Lodge, Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows, No. 48, of Limer- ick. His college fellowship is with Kappa Sigma fraternity of Bowdoin.
Ebenezer Jones, a descendant of JONES the York county family men- tioned in this work, was born in Berwick, Maine, about 1755. He was a sol- dier in the revolution, in Captain Samuel Noyes' company, Colonel Edmund Phinney's regiment, in 1775, and later in the year again in the company of Captain Noyes. In 1779 he served two months in the Penobscot ex- pedition, under Captain John Goodwin, Ma- jor Daniel Littlefield. He purchased a farm in Lebanon, Maine, July 5, 1786, and resided

DAVIS James Davis, the earliest known ancestor of this family, was one of the early settlers of township No. 6, on the west side of Union river, Maine, probably coming from Wells, Maine. James Davis, of Wells, and James Davis Jr. served in the revolution. In 1790 the federal census shows that James Davis was living at or near what is now Ellsworth, Maine, and had two males over sixteen, and one under, be- sides two females in his family. Samuel Davis, perhaps his son, was the only other head of the family in that township. In 1793 the names of James, Samuel and John Davis are found in the account books of one Donald Ross, a storekeeper of that section. The rec-

ords are so deficient and the Davis family so numerous that the earlier ancestry has not been traced. In all probability this Davis family is descended from the Davis family of Salisbury, Massachusetts, and vicinity.
(I) James W. Davis, son of James Davis, was born February 22, 1820, reared in Ells- worth, Maine, and educated in the common schools. For a number of years he was en- gaged in the lumber and ship-building busi- ness in Surrey, Hancock county, Maine, con- tinuing until 1861, when he was elected regis- ter of deeds of Ellsworth, to which office he was re-elected, serving four terms until 1868. He then engaged in the manufacture of car- riages, and built up an extensive and profitable business. He was the originator of the famous Davis Bar Harbor buckboard, which gained a worldwide reputation, and is still manufactured by his sons and sent to all parts of the world. After a long and honorable career he sold his business to his sons, W. H. and H. E. Davis; they later dissolved, W. H. going to Bar Har- bor, where he still conducts an extensive busi- ness, and H. E. continuing the old factory at Ellsworth. James W. Davis was interested in public questions, a man of recognized public spirit and decided convictions. He was a Re- publican, and influential in his party. He was an active member of the Unitarian church, and a liberal contributor to its support. He married Margaret Harrington, of Cherryfield, Maine. Children, all born in Surrey, Maine : I. William Howard, 1844; married Nancy, daughter of Colonel Robert Campbell, of Ellsworth, Maine; one child, Florence. 2. Abbie D., 1849; married Frederick A. Presby, deceased ; children : Lillian A. and Frederica Maud Presby. 3. James, died young. 4. James A., mentioned below. 5. George W., 1856, died December, 1907, unmarried. 6.

(II) James A., son of James W. and Mar- garet (Harrington) Davis, was born October 12, 1854, in Surrey, Maine. Upon the com- pletion of his studies he went to Boston, Mas- sachusetts, and there entered the employ of W. H. Halliday in the book business, on Washington street. He very soon afterward became associated with the house of Wads-
worth Brothers & Howland, in the paint and varnish business, and remained with them for several years. In 1880 he became private sec- retary to Colonel William H. Darling, of Blue Hill, Maine, and served in that capacity for one year. He later entered the employ of the American agents in New York City for Noble & Hoare's English varnishes, remaining until 1889, when he engaged in business on his own account, establishing the house of Deming, Davis & Company, Exchange place, Boston, wholesale coal, iron and coke. He soon after purchased his partner's interest and entered into partnership with the Hon. Henry N. Fisher, of Waltham, with offices at 92 State street, under the firm name of James A. Davis & Company, which connection continued until his death. Mr. Davis was one of the first to recognize the possibilities of American Portland cement made under the rotary cylin- der process, and introduced into the New Eng- land states the first cement made by that method. At that time foreign Portland cem- ent was considered a standard, but the merits of the American were soon recognized and preference was given it. In this business, which he built up himself, he did some of the most important work in New England. His firm furnished the cement for the South Sta- tion, the Back Bay Station, the new power house of the elevated road at the North ferry, the dam at Holyoke, and other well-known structures. He was a member of Esoteric Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Ells- worth; St. Andrew's Chapter, of Boston; Boston Council, Royal and Select Masters ; Boston Commandery, Knights Templar ; in the Scottish Rite he was a member of Boston Lafayette Lodge of Perfection, the Charles F. Yates Consistory of Princes of Jerusalem, Mt. Olivet Chapter of Rose Croix, and he was a member of the Royal Order of Scotland, and of the Accepted Scottish Rite Association, having taken the thirty-second degree in Scot- land. He was also a member of the Boston Athletic Association, Pine Tree State Club, Beacon Society, Point Shirley Club, and the Ten of Us Club. He was popular in the Ancient and Honorable Artillery; he joined the company April 16, 1894, and was its commander at the time of his death. He was also an associate member of Edward Kingsley Post, No. 113, Grand Army of the Republic. He was particularly active in the Scottish Rite degree, and was the youngest com- mander-in-chief but one the Massachusetts Consistory ever had. When he took up his
-

residence in Lexington, Massachusetts, he purchased the Newell estate, one of the finest in that part of the country. Up to four years prior to his death, Captain Davis was widely known throughout the country for his ex- tensive dog kennels. He bred and owned some of the costliest and best types of Bos- ton terriers in the land. He married (first) Annie Hamilton, of Portland, Maine; (sec- ond) Mary E. Gately, of Roxbury ; child, Mar- garet. Captain Davis died at his home on Lincoln Road, Lexington, March 15, 1909.
(II) Dr. Frederick A., son of James W. and Margaret (Harrington) Davis, was born at Ellsworth, Maine, March 24, 1861. He at- tended the public schools of his native town, prepared for college under private tutors, and studied his profession in the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia, from which he was graduated in April, 1884. He began the practice of his profession in Belfast, and later removed to Searsport, Maine, continu- ing until April, 1889, when he removed to Boston, Massachusetts. Since then he has been successful as a specialist in diseases of the abdominal and pelvic organs. For a num- ber of years he was associated with Dr. Jo- seph Hayward, of Taunton, Massachusetts, in the St. Botolph Hospital, and Dr. Davis now owns the property. He has had charge of the clinic of the Boston Homoeopathic Med- ical Dispensary for ten years, and has lectured four years on materia medica at the Boston University School of Medicine. He is a member of the Massachusetts Homoeopathic Medical Society, Boston Homoeopathic Med- ical Society, American Institute of Homoeo- pathy, and the Massachusetts Surgical and Gynecological Society, of which he was presi- dent one year.

Dr. Davis married, March 24, 1886, Susie Blaisdell Goodell, born in Searsport, Maine, September 6, 1861, daughter of Cap- tain Daniel and Mary (Grant) Goodell, of Searsport. They have one son, Arnold Board- man, born September 9, 1888, who is engaged in the commercial advertising business.
