(II) William (2), second son of William (1) Baker, and eldest child of his second wife, was born October 19, 1657, in Boston, and settled in Concord, where he was probably a farmer, and died July 8, 1702. He married, May 5, 1681, Elizabeth Dutton, born Decem- ber 29, 1659, died April 7, 1698, daughter of Thomas and Susanna Dutton. Children : Mary, Moses, Elizabeth, Joseph, Thomas and John.
(III) Joseph, second son of William (2) and Elizabeth (Dutton) Baker, was born Jan- uary 8, 1686, in Concord, Massachusetts, and settled immediately after attaining manhood in Marlboro, same state, where he died June 2, 1755. He was a rather prominent citizen in Marlboro, and as early as 1710 served on a committee handling important town inter- ests. He had a wife Elizabeth, who died Feb- ruary 6, 1763; children : Joseph, Elizabeth,

Robert and Benjamin (twins), Mary, Sarah and Hannah.
(IV) Joseph (2), eldest child of Joseph (I) and Elizabeth Baker, was born June 8, 1708, in Marlboro, where he resided until after 1730, when it is probable that he removed to Dunstable, Massachusetts. He married, in Marlboro, August 26, 1724, Esther Harwood, of Dunstable, and they had four children re- corded in Marlboro: Esther, Ruth, Edward, and Timothy. After the birth of the latter they disappear from the records of the town, and cannot be positively located elsewhere. It is presumable that they had other children, including Joseph.
(V) Joseph (3) Baker, born about 1732, undoubtedly son of Joseph (2) and Esther (Harwood) Baker, married in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, August 18, 1760, Dinah, daughter of Eleazer and Persis (Newton) Rice, of that town, where she was born March II, 1734. He was a tailor, and lived in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, until 1767, when he removed to Ipswich, New Hampshire, and was there taxed each year thereafter until 1801. He was a soldier of the revolution. Children, born in Shrewsbury: Winslow, Joel, Amos and Mary. Soon after the birth of the latter he removed to New Ipswich, and probably had born there Peter, John and Rachel.
(VI) Amos, third son of Joseph (3) and Dinah (Rice) Baker, was born January 26, 1764, in Shrewsbury, and removed with his father to New Ipswich, where he was taxed from 1785 to 1794. About the last date he settled in Canaan, Maine, where he died Oc- tober 7, 1814. According to the tradition of the family, Amos Baker enlisted as a revolu- tionary soldier when only thirteen years old, and served until the close of the struggle. It is said he was one of Washington's body- guard. When discharged he did not have suf- ficient money to get home, and stopped to earn some by the way. He was something of a student, and after he settled in Canaan taught district school and also singing school. His second wife inherited one hundred and fifty acres of land in Maine from her father's es- tate, but it took years to clear it up and estab- lish a comfortable home. Their clothing was made in the house, and every fall the shoe- maker came there to make the shoes for the family. His taste for military life was never quenched, and though fifty years old, he en- listed as a soldier in the war of 1812, but his health gave out and he died suddenly while in the army near Buffalo, at the date above
noted. He married, in New Ipswich, Novem- ber 17, 1791, Rachel Taylor, who survived but a few years. He married May 3, 1806, Eliza- beth Weston, born May 5, 1785, daughter of Samuel and Mary (White) Weston.
(VII) Henry Knox, son of Amos and Eliz- abeth (Weston) Baker, was born December 2, 1806, in Canaan, Maine, and was only eight years old when his father died. He received a limited education in the district schools, and when fourteen years, in April, 1821, went to Hallowell, Maine, to learn the painter's trade. Three years later he began writing for the newspapers, his first contribution appearing in the Hallowell Gazette, and shortly afterward in other papers. On attaining his majority he was employed as editor of the American Ad- vocate, and continued in that occupation for some time. In the midst of his labors he took up the study of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1840. In 1836 he sold his newspaper, and soon after took up the active practice of law. For twenty-six years he served as judge of probate of Kennebec county. He was elected to the legislature in 1842, and in 1844 was a member of the judiciary of that body. He was clerk of the house of representatives in 1853, and in 1854 was a member of the committee on education. The next year he was appointed judge of probate by Governor Morrill and in the same year organized the Hallowell Institution for Savings, of which he was treasurer forty-five years. Mr. Baker was an extensive traveller, and made many trips, visiting all the important sections of the United States. He was a member of the Methodist church, in which he was a class leader, and was an enthusiastic Republican in politics. He died June 28, 1902, having sur- vived his wife more than four years. He mar- ried, November 19, 1835, Sarah M. Lord, of Hallowell, born June 21, 1814, died April 21, 1898, daughter of Ephraim and Sally (Den- nis) Lord, natives of Massachusetts. Ephraim Lord was a son of James Lord, who led the charge at the battle of Bunker Hill. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Baker : Frances Weston, became the wife of Albert S. Rice ( see Rice VII) ; George, died in infancy ; Ellen Bond, widow of Colonel Alfred E. Buck, former minister to Japan; Elizabeth Waite, died at the age of seventeen years; Ann Stevens, mar- ried Major Frank A. Ham; Sanford Adlin ; Sarah Martha, became the wife of Reuben Wesley, of Waterville, and is an authoress of considerable note; Henry Colburn and Emma Lord, died in infancy; Harriett Dennis, mar- ried Edwin C. Dudley ; and Willard, deceased.

From Munsell's "Ameri-
STOCKWELL can Ancestry," (Vol. ix., p. 218), we find that there were five immigrant Stockwell brothers: Abel, of Salem; Quintin, of Dedham; John, Eleazer and Samuel.
(I) Quintin Stockwell, of Dedham, was in that town as a taxpayer from 1663 to 1671; was made a legal voter for selectmen in 1666; sold his real estate there to Isaac Bullard be- fore December 30, 1672; removed to Hatfield, Hampshire county, Massachusetts, and became a proprietor of the town of Deerfield, Frank- lin county, November 7, 1673. While in Ded- ham he married Abigail, daughter of John Bullard, and their first child, Elizabeth, was born in Dedham, June 15, 1667, and died there July 9 same year. When Deerfield was de- stroyed by the Indians under orders from King Philip, September 18, 1675, he was among those who escaped the tomahawk of the savages, and found refuge in Hatfield, and when that settlement was destroyed he re- turned to Deerfield, in 1676, to rebuild his home and reinstate the place, being one of five brave men willing to take the risk, but none willing to subject their wives and children to the risks of another visitation of the savage warriors. The terror of the frightful slaughter of 1675 had subsided, but their labors went for naught, for on September 19, 1677, after applying the torch to Hatfield, the savages paid a second visit to Deerfield and repeated their destruction with fire and tomahawk. They carried Quintin Stockwell and his brave companions to Canada, and the story of the capture and of their experiences in captivity as well as of their ransom, is exhaustively de- picted in "Remarkable Providences," written by Increase Mather, the minister of Deerfield. On the captive party being ransomed they were sent home by way of Albany, New York. On account of the uncertain safety of the towns in the upper Connecticut river valley, Quintin Stockwell removed to Branford, New Haven county, Connecticut, where he took the oath of allegiance, February 8, 1679.
Quintin Stockwell by wife Abigail had a son Eleazer, born in Branford, April 25, 1679. He soon after removed to Suffolk, Hartford county, where he died January 22, 1714, and his widow died in May, 1730. We find a John Stockwell in Dedham, who married Mary Goold, November 15, 1726, and that they had a son John, born in Dedham, but have no way of connecting him with Quintin, the immigrant ancestor. The John born in Deerfield, in 1676, may have married, re-
turned to his father's original home, and had this John, but this is mere conjecture. To go farther with conjecture, and on more rea- sonable lines : Eleazer, son of Quintin and Abigail (Bullard) Stockwell, who removed with his parents to Suffield and was twenty- two years old when his father died, may have been the grandfather of William, who came from Connecticut to West Farms, near Northampton, Massachusetts, and married Elizabeth Knapp. He would be of the fourth generation from Quintin.
(IV) William, probably grandson of Eleazer Stockwell, is said to have come from Connecticut to West Farms, Massachusetts, where he was married to Elizabeth Knapp, and is said to have died from the effects of the cold to which he subjected himself in or- der to feed his cattle in midwinter, his death occurring January I, but no year mentioned. His children: I. William; see forward. 2. Elijah, married Sarah Pomeroy, and had: i. Climene; ii. Oliantha, married Thomas Tor- rey, and had: Eliza, Henry and Sarah; iii. Martha, married Rufus Bosworth, and had Joe B., Ed. C., Isabel, married John Alonzo Stockwell, and had Sidney, July, 1877, lives in Chicopee, Massachusetts; Carrie Helen, and two others; iv. Evelyn, married (first) Ed- ward Edgerton, and had Edward Jr. and Sarah Edgerton, and married (second) Caleb Bardwell, and had Augusta, who became sec- ond wife of Alvin Simmons, and son Austin. 3. Betsey, married a Bartlett; had ten chil- dren born in West Farms, where their grand- son Ed. Bartlett was living in 1908. 4. Daughter, married a Mr. Munyon. 5. Daugh- ter, married a Mr. Smith. 6. Walter, whose grandchildren were living in 1908, but their whereabouts unknown. 7. Climena, married Calvin Stockwell, in December, 1836, and had son, John Wesley Stockwell.
(V) William, eldest child of William and Elizabeth (Knapp) Stockwell, was born about 1750. He married, in 1775, Lucy Miller, and lived in West Farms, Massachusetts. Their children : I. William, born 1776, married, while at college, Martha Whitmarsh; con- tributed articles to Harper's Magazine and other periodicals, 1854-56; children: i. Lucy ; ii. John N., the astronomical mathematician, and author of "Theory of the Moon's Mo- tion," and of a computation and record of an eclipse of the sun visible in China in the reign of Chou Kang, 2127 B. C., and more than one hundred years before Abraham was born. He disproved the chronology of events as given in history, and proved that Augustus died in

the year 13 instead of 14 A. D .; that Cæsar was assassinated in March, 45, instead of 44 B. C., etc., etc .; iii. Martha; iv. Mary; and two sons killed in the civil war. 2. Laura. 3. Eliza. 4. Maria. 5. Orin, never married. 6. Calvin. 7. Alonzo, never married. 8. Saman- tha, died in infancy. 9. Samantha (2d), died in infancy. 10. Morris, died in infancy. By his second wife, Betsy (Rogers) Stockwell, he had: II. Maurice. 12. Frederick A. 13. Henry Tracy. 14. George A. 15. Elizabeth. William Stockwell died in West Farms, Jan- uary 19, 1810, his death occurring in a black- smith shop at Roberts Meadows.
(VI) Calvin, son of William and Lucy (Miller) Stockwell, was born in West Farms, Massachusetts, February 12, 1806. He mar- ried his cousin, Climena, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Knapp) Stockwell, in Decem- ber, 1836, and had a son, John Wesley.
(VII) John Wesley, son of Calvin and Cli- mena (Stockwell) Stockwell, was born at West Farms, Massachusetts, September 19, 1839. He married, November 2, 1865, Eliza Jane, daughter of Philip and Eleanor (Stim- mel) Mathias. Children: I. Francis, died young. 2. Eliza, died young. 3. Alonzo, died young. 4. John Wesley; see forward. 5. Lucy Ann, died young. 6. Mary Eliza, died young. The following epitome of the life of Mr. Stockwell and tribute to his worth is taken from the New-Church Messenger:
"John Wesley Stockwell, treasurer of the Audit and Appraisement Company of Amer- ica, and a veteran of the civil war, died on Thursday, March 19, 1908, from pneumonia, at his residence, No. 2229 West Venango street, Philadelphia, aged sixty-nine years. He enlisted at the breaking out of the rebellion as a private in Company G, Thirty-seventh Regi- ment, Massachusetts Volunteers, and partici- pated in twenty-one battles, being promoted to the rank of first lieutenant and acting captain. At the end of the war he went to Portland, Maine, and engaged in the manufacture of cement, and organized and was president of the Portland Cement Pipe Company. He was a member of Ancient Landmark Lodge and Royal Arch Chapter, Masonic fraternity, and Post No. 7, G. A. R., of Portland, Maine. He is survived by a widow, three sons and a daughter. The funeral took place March 21st, with interment at Hillside Cemetery. The services at the home and the cemetery were conducted by Rev. William L. Worcester, pas- tor of the New Church, of which Mr. Stock- well was a member.
"Mr. Stockwell, while serving with the Army of the Potomac, became acquainted with Miss Eliza J. Mathias, who was residing in Frederick, Maryland. They became engaged, and at the close of the war were married. At this time both were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Stockwell first learned of the New Church when at Northampton, just after the close of the war. His uncle, Mr. Frederick A. Stockwell, was a casual reader of the New-Church Messenger, and Mr. Stockwell's attention was called by him to an article in one of the copies, on the subject of "The Lord's Prayer." This proved of- so great interest that when on his way, a few weeks later, to Creagerstown, Maryland, where he was married, he stopped in New York City and purchased a copy of "Gems from Swedenborg's Writings," and a con- densed biography of Swedenborg. Mr. Stock- well returned with his wife to Northampton, and resided there during the winter of 1865- 66, and then began further enquiries on the part of both into the teachings of the New Church. In this they were greatly assisted by Dr. R. Norman Foster, now of Chicago, but then residing in Northampton.
"The loosening of the old faith and pro- gression into the new was not accomplished without a severe mental struggle; but so good a hold had the teachings obtained on them, that when, in the fall of 1866, they went to Portland, Maine, to live, they were ready to attach themselves to the New Church organi- zation. They attended the doctrinal class of Rev. William B. Hayden, then pastor of the Portland Society. Shortly before this there had been a fire in Portland, and the New Church edifice had been burned. The Park Street Unitarian Society of that city had offered the use of its building on Sunday af- ternoons to the New Church congregation, and the services were being held there. In this building, early in the year 1867, Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell were rebaptized and confirmed in the New Church. Their elder son was shortly after this baptized by Rev. Mr. Hayden, and the other children-three sons and a daughter -were in turn baptized by Mr. Hayden and Rev. Julian K. Smyth, who later assumed the pastorate. During practically the entire time of his residence in Portland, Mr. Stockwell was a trustee and for several years was the treasurer of the Portland Society, and was a teacher in the Sunday school. After the fam- ily moved to Philadelphia in 1892, Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell joined the society there. The

three surviving sons and the daughter were confirmed by Rev. Mr. Worcester, and all are active in the church work."
(VIII) John Wesley (2), son of John Wesley (I) and Eliza Jane ( Mathias) Stock- well, was born in Portland, Maine, March 24, 1873. He attended the public schools of Port- land and was graduated at the Deering high school in 1891, and at the Portland high school in 1892. He removed to Philadelphia when he matriculated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1892, but did not join his class, deciding to take up newspaper work for a season before entering college. He became city and managing editor of the Philadelphia Evening Star; financial editor of the Evening Telegram, and prepared special articles for the Philadelphia North American and for the Philadelphia Press. In 1901 he gave up news- paper work and removed to Boston, Massa- chusetts, where he took up the study of the- ology, deciding to enter the ministry of the New Church (Swedenborgen). He pursued his theological course at the New Church The- ological School, Cambridge, which he com- pleted in two years, at the same time taking up special studies at Harvard University. In 1903 he accepted the charge of the Kenwood parish of the Church of the New Jerusalem, Chicago, and was ordained to preach the gos- pel, December 1, 1903. He continued his philosophical studies at the University of Chi- cago, receiving his Ph.D. degree in 1908, and the degree of A. M. at the same time. He be- came an active worker in the Bureau of Chari- ties of Chicago and took active interest in set- tlement work in the city. He was made a member of the Kenwood Improvement Asso- ciation ; of the Kenwood Club and of the Ken- wood Country Club. He was made associate secretary of the general court of New Jeru- salem Church, a member of the general coun- cil of the National New Jerusalem Church or- ganization ; chairman of the sub-committee to study special problems ; president of the Amer- ican League of the New Jerusalem Young People's Society, member of the Illinois As- sociation of the New Church; member of the Philadelphia New Church Club and the New Church Economist Club. He was also a mem- ber of the Univeristy Alumni Association and the Chicago City Club. His residence in Chi- cago is at No. 130 East Forty-sixth street.

MARTIN It is said of the earliest settlers at Portsmouth and Dover, New Hampshire, that they "came here not to worship God, but to fish." This seems true at other points along the Atlantic coast, where early records are extremely meagre. Very little can be learned about the pioneer ancestor of this family, and it is pre- sumable that he was engaged in fishing, and did not take a permanent residence at Marble- head.
(I) Robert Martin, born about 1633, made a deposition at Marblehead, Massachusetts, September, 1666, when he was about thirty- three years of age. No further record con- cerning him is discoverable.
(II) Thomas Martin, born about 1675, was probably a son of Robert Martin, above men- tioned. He married, April 28, 1701, in Mar- blehead, Eleanor Knott, who was baptized in the First Church of Marblehead, June 19, 1687, being then about four years old, and died July 4, 1859, in Marblehead, aged sev- enty-six years. The records of the First Church at Marblehead show the baptisms of the following children of Thomas and Eleanor : Knott and Sarah (twins), July 8, 1716; Ruth, July 6, 1718, and Thomas, men- tioned below.
(III) Thomas (2), son of Thomas (I) and Eleanor (Knott) Martin, was baptized Octo-
ber 8, 1721, in the First Church of Marble- head, and married (first) November 20, 1746, Mary Gourden (Gordon), daughter of Henry and Tabitha Gordon, baptized January 28, 1728, at St. Michael's (Protestant Episcopal) Church, and buried September 26, 1747. Thomas Martin married (second) February 27, 1750, Sarah Goodwin, baptized July IO, 1726, at the First Church of Marblehead, daughter of William and John (Curtis) Good- win.

(IV) Richard, only child of Thomas (2) and Mary (Gordon) Martin, was baptized at the First Church of Marblehead, July 12, 1747, and died March 19, 1836. He married, at First Church, March 14, 1771, Hannah, daughter of William and Mary (Bray) Cruff, baptized January 27, 1751, then about five years old, and died December 4, 1824, aged seventy-eight years. Children baptized in First Church: Sarah, October 31, 1773; Mary (died young) ; Thomas, mentioned be- low; Molly, July 13, 1783; Stephen Vickery, September 5, 1784; Knott, January 27, 1788; Nancy, March 28, 1790, and Jane, September 21, 1797. In his old age Richard Martin re- moved to St. George, Knox county, Maine, with his eldest son.
(V) Thomas (3), eldest son of Richard and Hannah (Cruff) Martin, was baptized at the First Church at Marblehead, November 5, 1780, and settled in St. George, Maine, where the remainder of his life was spent. He married, about 1804, Margaret Mckellar ; children, all born in St. George, Maine: I. Richard (q. v.). 2. Eliza, born 1807, mar- ried George O'Brien. 3. Catherine W., 1809, married James Sweetland. 4. John, 1810, married, November 3, 1840, Jane Young. 5. Sarah, married Richard Waite Leavitt. 6. Nancy, married Charles McLoon.
