The Coolidge family of this COOLIDGE country is quite a large and widely scattered one. From out its numbers may be noted many men and women in the several branches, who have won distinction and honor among their fellow- countrymen. The Maine branch of Coolidges has descended from those who originally set- tled in Massachusetts, in and near Watertown. (I) John Coolidge's date of arrival in New England is not fixed definitely, but was prob- ably about 1630. His will dated November 19, 1681, was proved June 16, 1691. He men- tions his wife and sons: John, Stephen, Simon, Nathaniel and Jonathan; also daugh- ters: Sarah and Mary Mixer. The family was a very ancient and honorable one in Cam- bridge, England, from which place they emi- grated to America. The name has with vari-
ous generations been spelled in almost every conceivable manner. Quite common ways were Coollidge and Cooledge.
(II) Simon, son of the American progeni- tor, was born in 1632 and died 1693. He mar- ried (first) Hannah Barron and several years after her death he married Priscilla Rogers, by whom were born: Mary, Obadiah, Joseph, Hannah, Stephen, Lydia and Sarah.
(III) Obadiah, second child and first son of Simon and Priscilla (Rogers) Coolidge, was born in 1664 and died 1706. He married Elizabeth House, of Hartford, and settled in Sudbury, but subsequently returned to Water- town, in 1694. Their children were: Eliza- beth, Joseph, Hannah, Obadiah, Sarah, Abi- gail, Mary Lydia, Simon and Stephen; the youngest child was born November 2, 1705, but soon died.
(IV) Simon (2), son of Obadiah and Eliza- beth (House) Coolidge, was born June 12, 1704. He was by occupation a bricklayer. He married Abia Sanderson, and the children of this union were: Joseph, Lydia, Lois, Annie, Sarah, Eunice, Simon and Mehitable.
(V) Joseph, eldest child of Simon and Abia (Sanderson) Coolidge, was born Octo- ber 4, 1761. He served in the Fourteenth Regiment of the Continental army, in 1780. He was under Colonel Bradford, and was a United States pensioner from the date of De- cember, 1833. He married Mary Adams, of Lexington, Massachusetts, and they emigrated to Maine, settling at Jay in June, 1790, but later moved to Canton, Maine, where he died October 17, 1843. His widow survived until March 19, 1852, being ninety-one years of age. Their children were: Joseph, Mary, Mercy, Nancy, Aaron, Jane, John, Cyrus Ham- lin, Sally, Jefferson and Merrit.
(VI) John (2), son of Joseph and Mary (Adams) Coolidge, was born in Canton, Maine, December 12, 1796, and died in 1874. He married Eliza, daughter of John Bigelow and wife, born December 12, 1800, and died in 1893. Their children were: John Oberon, born December 22, 1826; Silas Rutillus, May, 1828; Charles Archelarus, December 29, 1830; George Mariner, December 6, 1834.
(VII) Dr. Charles Archelarus, third child of John (2) and Eliza (Bigelow) Coolidge, was born December 29, 1830. He received his early educational training in the public schools and at South Paris Academy, after which he entered Bowdoin College (medical depart- ment), where he studied two years, and then went to the same department of Dartmouth College, from which institution he graduated

one year later. The first year after his gradu- ation from Dartmouth he spent in the Massa- chusetts General Hospital, and the following year in the Philadelphia Hospital. In 1855 he began the practice of medicine in Weld, Maine; remained there two years, then re- moved to Livermore Corner, where he con- tinued until May, 1861, when he located at Canton, Maine, at which place he is still prac- ticing medicine, with much skill and success. Dr. Coolidge was the township physician for many years, and is well known and highly appreciated both as a physician and citizen. He married Sarah N., daughter of Solomon and Adeline (Billington) Foster, of Weld, Maine. Children: Eliza, died in infancy ; Henry E., born December 23, 1860, and Charles M., September 24, 1863.
(VIII) Henry E., second child of Dr. Charles A. and Sarah N. (Foster) Coolidge, was born in Livermore, Maine. He received his education in the public schools, and Nich- ols Latin school at Lewiston, attending the latter in 1875-76. In 1877 he entered Bates College, from which he graduated with the class of 1881. He then chose law for his pro- fession and studied under Hon. Enoch Foster, of Portland, Maine, teaching school during the two years he remained in the law office as a student, thus showing his industrious nature and perseverance in whatever he undertakes. He was next elected principal of the schools at North Berwick, Maine, having charge of the high school. He returned to Lewiston and entered the law office of Savage & Oakes, in Auburn, and in 1889 was admitted to the bar, the same year going to Lisbon Falls, Maine, where he began legal practice on his own ac- count. He is still an honored attorney of that place, and has built up an almost enviable practice in the courts of Maine. In March, 1899, he was made cashier of the Lisbon Falls Branch of the Lewiston Trust & Safe De- posit Company. During the years 1896-97-98 he was superintendent of schools, and is at present trial justice. Politically Mr. Coolidge affiliates with the Republican party. In his re- ligious faith he is a Free Baptist. He mar- ried, April 26, 1883, Josephine, daughter of Daniel and Celestia (Low) Dearborn, of Can- ton, Maine. They are the parents of one child, Charles Wilson, born January 23, 1884. He was educated in the public schools, Nichols Latin school, and Bates College, graduating in 1903. He is the present manager of the Maine Farmer Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He married, August 16, 1905, Jane, daughter of Joshua and Mary Taylor. Their two children
are: Muriel T. and Charles H., being of the tenth generation of Coolidges from the Amer- ican ancestor.
HAMILTON
From Scotland, whose sombre climate and rugged hills have developed one of
the most energetic, industrious and thrifty na- tions on the globe, have come to these shores a people, who wherever found have been a credit and a help to the community where they dwell. A colony settled in Londonderry, New Hampshire, and at a critical time contributed largely to the victory of the patriot arms at Bennington and the subsequent capture of Burgoyne. Other Scots settled in Maine and their descendants now constitute a consider- able proportion of some of the thrifty towns of the coast region. Among these are many worthy citizens of Chebeague Island, whose progenitor was Ambrose Hamilton.
(I) Ambrose Hamilton came from Scot- land to the province of Maine with his wife, Betsy Franzy, from Ganzy., Children: Am- brose, Roland and John. Roland settled on Cousin's Island, John settled on Walnut Hill, and Ambrose on Chebeague Island.
(II) Ambrose (2), eldest son of Ambrose (1) and Betsy (Franzy) Hamilton, settled on Chebeague about 1760, being the third per- manent settler on the island. He married De- borah Soule and had fourteen children, seven sons and seven daughters, and seventy-one grandchildren. All his children lived to be about ninety years of age, and some to even a greater age. Children: Betsy, Ann, John, Ambrose, Deborah, Jane, Jonathan, Roland, Dorcas, James, Reuben, Lydia, Lemual and Lucy.
(III) James, son of Ambrose (2) and De- borah (Soule) Hamilton, was born on Che- beague Island, and lived and died there. He married Mary - -; eleven children : James, Isaac, John, Mary, Benjamin, Reuben, Simeon, Sarah, Eliza, Rebecca and Sophronia.
(IV) Benjamin, fourth son of James and Mary Hamilton, was born on Chebeague, Sep- tember, 18II, and died on that island in 1844. He followed the occupation of farmer and fisherman at Chebeague, where he resided thirty-three years. He married Eliza Ross, in 1830; she was born in Cumberland,. 1812, daughter of John and Dorcas Ross. Children : John R., Caroline A., Benjamin, Henry O., Royal T.
(V) Henry O., third son of Benjamin and Eliza (Ross) Hamilton, was born at Che- beague, November 7, 1843, and was educated

in the schools of Chebeague. He learned the trade of mason and has been engaged all his life since that time in structural masonry. He resides on Great Chebeague Island. He is a Republican in politics, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He married, in January, 1864, Margery E. Jewett, who was born in Westport, September 5, 1846, daughter of John G. and Elizabeth Jewett, of Westport. John G. Jewett was born in Westport, Feb- ruary 14, 1819, and died at Westport, Feb- ruary 12, 1848. He married Elizabeth Reed, who was born September 16, 1812, at Booth- bay, Maine. Children : Margery E. and Amasa. Henry O. and Margery E. (Jewett) Hamilton have three children: I. Helen J., married Reuben H. Cleaves. 2. Fred. G., mentioned below. 3. Harry (Henry) B., mar- ried Gertrude Crockett.
(VI) Fred G., elder of the two sons of Henry O. and Margery E. (Jewett) Hamilton, was born on Great Chebeague, Feb- ruary 22, 1868, and educated in the public schools of Great Chebeague and Cumberland, the high school of Chebeague, and at Gray's Business College, Portland. April 8, 1888, he became assistant bookkeeper for the C. M. Rice Paper Company of Portland, was later bookkeeper, and since 1898 has been a mem- ber of the firm. He has resided in South Portland since 1891, and for fifteen years has taken an active part in the political affairs of that city. In politics he is a Republican. He was elected alderman in 1904, and served one term, and in 1908 was elected mayor, and now fills that office. He is well known as an in- dustrious and successful business man. He and his family attend the People's Methodist Episcopal Church in South Portland. He has attained the thirty-second degree in Free Ma- sonry, and is a member of the following named organizations of that order: Hiram Lodge, No. 180, of South Portland, of which he is a past master; Greenleaf Royal Arch Chapter, No. 13, of which he is a past high priest; Portland Commandery, No. 2, Knights Tem- plar, Portland Council, No. I, of which he is a past thrice illustrious master, and Maine Consistory, Sublime Princes of the Royal Se- cret.

Children of George F. and Eve- lyn F. (Campbell) Hamilton are: I. Philip C., born January 19, 1896. 2. Marguerite E., January 21, 1899. 3. Frederick R., August 17, 1902.
EMERY This ancient personal name long ago became a surname. Some of the original spellings in Eng- land were Americ, Almeric, Almaric, and El- meric; and it is the same to which, in the Ital- ian form of Amerigo, we now owe the title of our own country. It is a name which has been honorably borne by many citizens of the United States, one which was very early in New England, and has been from that cradle of American citizenship distributed over a wide area. It was early identified with Maine, and has been borne by pioneers of numerous towns in this state.
(I) The first of whom positive record is now obtained was John Emery, who with his wife Agnes resided in Romsey, Hants, Eng- land, and probably died there.
(II) Anthony, second son of John and Ag- nes Emery, was born in Romsey, Hants, Eng- land, and sailed for America with his elder brother John, from Southampton, April 3, 1635, in the ship "James," of London, William Cooper, master, their wives and one or two children each probably accompanying them. They landed in Boston, Massachusetts, June 3, 1635. Anthony, it seems, was in Ipswich, in August following, and not long after settled in Newbury, where he lived until about 1640. In the latter year he removed to Dover, New Hampshire, and on October 22 of that year signed the "Dover Combination." For the nine years following he was identified with the interests of the town. His house was at Dover Neck, about a mile from the present railroad station at Dover Point, and three or four miles from Major Richard Waldern's (Waldron's) settlement on the Cocheco river. There he kept an ordinary or inn, which was destroyed by fire. In 1644 and 1648 he was one of the townsmen (selectmen) for the "prudential affairs" of Dover. He bought of John White, November 15, 1648, a house, a field, and a great barren marsh on Sturgeon creek, in Pischataqua, afterward Kittery, now Eliot, Maine, and two other marshes. He served on the grand jury in 1649, and in the same year removed to Kittery, where he resided until

1660. He was juryman several times, select- man in 1652 and 1659 and constable. He was one of the forty-one inhabitants of Kittery who acknowledged themselves subject to the government of Massachusetts Bay, November 16, 1652. He received at four different times grants of land from the town. He also bought of Joseph Austin, of Pischataqua, July 15, 1650, "a little Marsh soe Commonly called above sturgeon Cricke, with a little house and upland yrunto belonging, as also one thousand five hundred foote of boards, for & in Con- sideration of Two stears Called by ye name of Draggon and Benbow, with a weeks worke of himselfe & other two oxen wch is to be done in Cutchecho." In 1656 he was fined five pounds for mutinous courage in questioning the authority of the court of Kittery, and in 1660 he was fined a second time for entertain- ing Quakers, and deprived of the rights and privileges of a freeman in Kittery. On May 12, of this year, he sold to his son James all his property in Kittery, and sought a residence where he could enjoy more liberty. He re- moved to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and was there received as a free inhabitant, September 29, 1660. He served as a juryman from Ports- mouth on several occasions, was chosen con- stable June 4, 1666, and deputy to the general court, April 25, 1672. The last evidence of his residence at Portsmouth is that of a deed of land in Portsmouth to Rebecca Sadler, his daughter, dated March 9, 1680. An Anthony Emory was representative from Kittery at York, Maine, March 30, 1680, but it does not seem probable after what had happened to that time that Anthony Emery, the immigrant, is the person referred to. He was a man of good business qualifications, energetic, inde- pendent, resolute, in purpose, bold in action, severe in speech, jealous of his own rights, and willing to suffer for conscience sake. He was one of those men who did their own think- ing and would rather be right than be presi- dent. His wife's forename was Frances. His children were: James, a son unknown, and Rebecca.
(III) James, eldest child of Anthony and Frances Emery, was born in England about 1630, and came to America with his parents. He was the grantee of lands in Kittery in 1653-56-69-71; was selectman of Kittery 1674-76-77-84-85-92-93-95; was elected repre- sentative to the general court 1693-95; and was grand juror and constable in 1670. He seems to have resided in Dedham after he was elected representative, and later to have lived in Berwick, in the Province of Maine. He
weighed over three hundred and fifty pounds, and is said to have made the journey from his home to Boston, his carriage being a chair placed in an ox cart drawn by a yoke of steers. This mode of conveyance was necessary, as there was not in . Kittery a carriage large enough to carry him over the rough roads safely. He is supposed to have died in 1714 or earlier. He married (first) Elizabeth who died after 1687; and (second) December 28, 1695, Mrs. Elizabeth (New- comb) Pidge, widow and second wife of John Pidge, of Dedham, Massachusetts. His chil- dren, all by first wife, were: James, Zacha- riah, Noah, Daniel, Job, Elizabeth and Sarah.
(IV) Zachariah, second son of James and Elizabeth Emery, was born about 1660, in Kit- tery, where he resided and died about 1691, in the neighborhood of thirty-one years of age. He married, December 9, 1686, Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel and Margaret (Spencer) Goodwin, of Kittery. She married (second) December 22, 1692, Philip Hubbard, of Ber- wick. Zachariah and Elizabeth had a daugh- ter and a son, namely : Elizabeth and Zacha- riah.
(V) Zachariah (2), only son of Zachariah (I) and Elizabeth (Goodwin) Emery, was born October 5, 1690, and resided in Chelms- ford, Massachusetts. He enlisted there in June, 1745, for the expedition against Cape Breton, as a member of Captain Gresham Davis' company. In October of that year he was sent to Boston as the agent of the com- pany to make up its muster roll and was taken ill so that he did not return to Cape Breton. His son Samuel was also a member of the ex- pedition and died about that time. After his recovery, Zachariah Emery made a petition to the general court for the value of his gun, and that of his son Samuel. He placed the amount at twenty-five pounds ten shillings and was granted three pounds eighteen shillings. He died in 1752. He married (first) Sarah (surname unknown), who died October 8, 1732. He married (second) May 20, 1733, Rebecca Reddington, of Topsfield, Massachu- setts, who died in 1743-44. He married (third) June 26, 1744, Thankful Foster, who married (second) Jonathan Spaulding, of Carlisle, and died August 31, 1785, at the age of eighty-five years. There were ten children by the first marriage, one by the second, two by the third. Sarah (died young), Noah (died young), Zachariah, Noah, Samuel, John, Sarah, Daniel, Ebenezer, Elizabeth, James, Thankful and Samuel. The first Samuel died as before noted at Cape Breton, about 1745.

John and Daniel were soldiers of the revolu- tion.
(VI) Zachariah (3), second son of Zacha- riah (2) and Sarah Emery, was born August 26, 1716, in Chelmsford, and resided in Townsend, Massachusetts, where he died May 3, 1804. He was a man of standing in the community and served as selectman there from 1754 to 1756, in 1761-63-72-73-76-77, nine years in all. He married, December 2, 1741, Esther Stevens, who died a little more than a month after him, on June 17, 1804. Their children were: Zachariah and James (twins), Amos, Esther, Sarah, Elizabeth, Thankful, John, Lucy, Samuel and William (twins) and Levi. Zachariah and Amos were revolution- ary soldiers.
(VII) Levi, youngest child of Zachariah (3) and Esther (Stevens) Emery, was born November 3, 1762, in Townsend, and settled as a young man in Bloomfield (now Skowhegan), Maine, where he died April 22, 1857. Before he was nineteen years old, he enlisted July 13, 1781, in Captain Asa Drury's company, Colonel Turner's regiment, which company was raised to serve five months from July I, 1781. He served four months and twenty- three days, travel included, in Rhode Island. He married, in Bloomfield, Mindwell Ireland, who was born January 6, 1772, and died April 15, 1857. Their children were: Sally, Esther, Levi, Darius, Eunice, Asa, Zachariah, Char- lotte and Sophronia, all born in Bloomfield.
(VIII) Zachariah (4), third son of Levi and Mindwell (Ireland) Emery, was born September 10, 1804, in Bloomfield, and died at Athens, Maine, October 26, 1881. He was a farmer in Athens, and a deacon of the Bap- tist church. He married Abigail Cole, born January 15, 1808, died August 5, 1898, at Athens. Their children were: I. Mina A., widow of Alanson Lock, residing in Athens, Maine. 2. Asa Cole, receives further mention below. 3. Mary Angeline, widow of Way- land Leighton, residing in Skowhegan, Maine. 4. Martha Abigail, married (first) Ferdinand Spaulding, who died in the civil war; (sec- ond) Samuel Goodrich, who resides in Ath- ens. 5. Henry Harrison, lives in Camden, Maine. 6. Matilda Arrabell, deceased. 7. Zachariah Judson, deceased. 8. Charles E., lives in Boston, Massachusetts. 9. Miranda Alice, wife of William H. Wood, of West Medford, Massachusetts.
(IX) Asa Cole, eldest son of Zachariah (4) and Abigail (Cole) Emery, was born Febru- ary I, 1831, in Athens, Maine, and resides in that town, where he has been a farmer, inn-
keeper and merchant, and is now retired. He is affiliated with the Baptist church and the Patrons of Husbandry, is a Republican in principle and was a candidate for representa- tive on the Greeley ticket. He married, De- cember 30, 1856, Ellen Frances Hutchinson, born January 19, 1839, in Athens, a daughter of Ebenezer and Sabrina (Williams) Hutch- inson (see Hutchinson XVII). They were the parents of two sons, Eben Hutchinson and Charles Augustus. The latter is now a resi- dent of Athens.
(X) Eben Hutchinson, elder son of Asa Cole and Ellen F. (Hutchinson) Emery, was born December 8, 1860, in Athens, where his early years were spent. He was a student at Somerset Academy at Athens, Maine, and the Nichols Latin School at Lewiston, Maine, graduating from the latter institution in 1880. He immediately entered Bates College, from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1884. On July 30 of that year he entered the government service in the weather bureau, and has continued in this ser- vice up to the present time. He was first sta- tioned at Wilmington, North Carolina, subse- quently at Key West, Florida; Chattanooga, Tennessee ; Bismarck, North Dakota; Havre, Montana; Chicago and Cairo, Illinois ; Huron, South Dakota; Atlantic City, New Jersey ; and New York City; and is now located at the last named point, where he is district fore- caster of the weather bureau, in charge of the New York City local office. His long ex- perience has made Mr. Emery very expert in his line of endeavor, and his genial nature and democratic character make him friends among his associates and those of the public who come in contact with him. He is very active in the Masonic Order, having risen to the de- gree of Knight Templar, and is a member of Temple El Riad, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of South Dakota. He is a member of the Maine Society of New York City, and is es- teemed by his fellows.
