On September 18, 1843, Mr. Crockett be- came a member of Maine Lodge, No. I, and in 1844 a member of Eastern Star Encamp- ment, No. 2, Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows. He was a constant attendant at the Federal Street Baptist Church until it was burned in 1866. From that time he went to the High Street Church, until the last years of his life, when it became somewhat difficult for him to hear the service. He died March 5, 1894. Mr. S. H. Snow, treasurer of the Revere Copper Company, on receiving notice of his death, wrote:


"Our relations with Mr. Crockett have been uninterrupted since, in 1848, he took the busi- ness which had been carried on under various names and with varying fortune, from the very beginning of our corporate existence in 1828. His methodical management inspired us with the utmost confidence, and none of his tran- sactions ever gave us the least anxiety. His statements were never questioned, and our ex- pectations of his action never disappointed. The undersigned in this office continuously since March, 1840, had learned to regard him as a personal friend, and it will certainly be an occasion of sadness to realize that his sunny face is not again to be seen, nor his cheery voice again heard."


He was emphatically a home-loving and book-loving man, rising at four and five o'clock to read and study. He was interested in all subjects, though science and history claimed the most of his attention. He had a never- failing love for Scott and Dickens, and for the characters of the latter he had a most remark- able memory. He was a man of great dignity and reserve, shrinking from any form of con- spicuous notice. His quiet, almost severe, manner, held people off for a time, but once really known he was found to be genial and companionable to both old and young.


Mr. Crockett married, in January, 1835-36, Frances Ellen Talbot. She was born in Port- land, February 19, 1817, and died October 15, 1894, eight months after her husband. Chil- dren: I. James Poor, born September 14, 1836; drowned, 1858; unmarried. 2. Ellen M., born April 25, 1838; married Charles F. Manning.


This name appears among the


POORE early names of New England and it has been honored and is


still borne by many worthy citizens. The line which traces to the early settlement of Goffs- town was located in northwestern Massachu- setts until the close of the revolution.


(I) John Poore, emigrant ancestor of those bearing the name in this country, was born 1615, in Wiltshire, England, whence he came to America in 1635. He settled in Newbury, on the south side of Parker river, on that por- tion known as "The Neck." In 1661 he had sixty-one acres assigned to him, and in 1678 built a house which was still standing and in possession of his descendants in 1878. Eight generations were born in it down to that time, and it had been used at one time as an inn. He served as juryman in 1654-55-58-61-70-74- 78. He acted as attorney for Daniel Poore, of Andover (supposed to have been his brother) in an action tried March 26, 1667, and again in 1681. He subscribed to the oath of fidelity in 1678, and served on important committees. In the seating of members he was assigned to the front seat in the church. He owned over one hundred acres of land, and was among the most substantial citizens. He died November 21, 1684, from exposure, while lost on a hunting trip. Before the distribution of his property, thirty pounds was reserved for debts and "legacyes." His widow died De- cember 3, 1702. Their children were named : John, Hannah (died young), Elizabeth, Han- nah, Henry, Mary (died young), Joseph, Mary, Sarah, Lydia, Edward and Abigail. The last two died in infancy.


(II) Henry, second son and fifth child of John Poore, was born December 13, 1650, and was made a freeman, March 7. 1681. He set- tled in the southern part of Newbury, a part of his farm lying in Rowley. In 1693 he sold out and purchased a farm in the western part of Rowley, and his descendants were still occupying this land in 1879. He was drafted as a soldier in King Philip's war, December 6, 1675, was often tythingman in Rowley, bought and sold much land, and often assisted in settling estates. His will was dated April

2, 1741. He married September 12, 1679, Abigail Hale, born April 8, 1662, and died before 1729, daughter of Thomas Hale Jr., who was born in England about 1633, son of Thomas and Thomasin Hale. His wife Mary was a daughter of Richard and Alice ( Bos- worth) Hutchinson, and was baptized Decem- ber 28, 1630, in North Muskham, Notting- hamshire, England. Henry and Abigail (Hale) Poore, had children: Abigail, Henry, Jeremiah, Mary (died an infant), Mary, Han- nah, Sarah, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Daniel, Sam- uel and Lydia.


(III) Captain Benjamin, third son of Henry and Abigail (Hale) Poore, was born in Row- ley, March 23, 1696. He settled in Rowley on a forty-acre portion of the paternal home- stead which his father had given him before his death; he also had saltmarsh in Newbury. When the parish of Byfield was incorporated, about 1702, his place fell in that parish. His transactions in real estate afterwards were the sale of said marsh to Timothy Jackman in 1745, the buying of Daniel and John Mor- rison about six acres in Rowley, which he sold said Jackman in 1745, and sold to Nehe- miah Noyes thirteen acres in Rowley and two acres in Bradford in 1752, and as one of a committee leased some land for Byfield Par- ish, in 1741. He was one of the leading men of his neighborhood, and held the important title of captain, as is shown by the county records. He made his will, June 19, 1758, which was proved April 2, 1759. His son Jeremiah was named as executor, and had the easterly part of the homestead ; and son Henry had the westerly part of the homestead. He married Elizabeth Felt, who survived him. Their children were: Jeremiah, Abigail, Dan- iel, Benjamin, Henry, Elizabeth and Mary.


(IV) Benjamin (2), third son of Benja- min (I) and Elizabeth (Felt) Poore, was born in Rowley, January 6, 1728, and died in the spring of 1764. He was a cordwainer, and settled on the east side of Pecker street, and near where the First Baptist Church now stands, on land he bought September, 1750, of Thomas Thompson, and to which he added more bought of Peter Ingerfield in 1757. He married, June 1, 1749, Sarah Bradley, of Haverhill. She survived him and married Abraham Sweatt, by whom she had three children, and died July 1, 1815. The children of Benjamin and Sarah (Bradley) Poore were: John, Sarah, Elizabeth (died young), Rebecca, Samuel, Benjamin and Elizabeth.


(V) Samuel, second son of Benjamin (2) and Sarah (Bradley) Poore, was born in


Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1755, and died in Portland, Maine, September 20, 1813. Ac- cording to tradition he was one of the party which destroyed the tea in Boston harbor at the beginning of the war of the revolution. He was a cordwainer, and settled in Portland, Maine. He married, November 12, 1786, Lucy Thomas, who died December 29, 1849, aged eighty-two years, daughter of Captain Benja- min Thomas, of Portland. Children, all born in Portland: Sally, Benjamin, Samuel, Nancy, Emily, John and Charles.


(VI) Sally, eldest child of Samuel and Lucy ( Thomas) Poore, was born about 1788, and died in 1829. She married James Crock- ett, born in Gorham, Maine, 1786, son of Sam- uel and Elizabeth (Fickett) Crockett. (See Crockett.) Their children were: Mary Ann, Martha, Harriet, Leonard, Sarah Poore and James.


This name is derived from WEBSTER the word Weber, meaning weaver, and is probably an- other form of the German name Webber. Many of this family are of Scotch descent, and many have made names for themselves in English history. Our own eminent statesman and orator, Daniel Webster, as well as Noah Webster, the lexicographer, show the mental capabilities of one branch of the family, and in this country the name stands for those qual- ities of mind and heart that go to make the best citizen and most trusted member of so- ciety.


(I) James Webster was admitted to citi- zenship in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, August 17, 1727, though it is not known from what part of New England he had previously come ; he died about 1765. He married Isabel ; children : John, born September 5, 1726; Mary, married George McClellan; James, married, September 22, 1756, Patience Web- ber; Thomas ; William.


(II) William, youngest son of James and Isabel Webster, was born about 1740, in Cape Elizabeth or Falmouth, Maine, and removed to Gray, Maine, where he became captain of militia, and also one of the first board of se- lectmen. He married, December 24, 1769, Mrs. Jane (Little) Yeaton, and they had three sons who lived in Gray, Maine-Simon, Jo- seph and John; and William, who removed to Durham. Joseph married Mary, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Dunning) Stackpole, and was a captain of militia. William, the father, died December 19, 1808.

STATE OF MAINE.


( I) and Jane (Little-Yeaton) Webster, was born April 30, 1774, at Cape Elizabeth, and died October 1, 1843, at Durham, Maine. He was a captain in the war of 1812. He became one of the original settlers of Durham, Maine, the number of his lot being 89, and his farm was cleared by him from the unbroken forest; he also engaged in the manufacture of plows, ox yokes, and other implements for the use of farmers. He married Hannah, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Dunning) Stackpole, sis- ter of his brother Joseph's wife, who died at Durham, June 29, 1851 ; children : Jane, born September 5, 1796, married Moses Rowe; Betsey, born October II, 1797, married Wil- liam Miller ; William, born December 8, 1798, married Mary Grant; Andrew, born August 13, 1800, died July 17, 1801; John S., born October 25, 1801, married Eleanor Jordan ; Simon, born June 29, 1803, died unmarried, in 1827; Joseph, born March 26, 1806, married (first) Lucinda Williams, (second) Mrs. Har- riet ( Hale) Webster, widow of his brother Samuel ; Samuel S .; James D., born March 24, 1812, died December 30, 1812; Hannah Stack- pole, born January 7, 1818, married Sewall Cushing.


(IV) Samuel S., sixth son of Captain Wil- liam (2) and Hannah (Stackpole) Webster, was born May 23, 1809, at Durham, Maine, and removed to Portland, where he engaged in manufacturing, and for many years was connected with the Falmouth Fireside Iron Foundry, manufacturing castings and machin- ery parts. He died in Portland, May 16, 1868. He married Harriet Newell, daughter of Sam- uel and Mary (White) Hale, born May 24, 1815, who after his death married his brother Joseph. (See Hale VIII.)


(V) Dr. Charles Edwin, son of Samuel S. and Harriet N. (Hale) Webster, was born February 9, 1841, at Portland, Maine, and died December 24, 1892, after a brief illness, from pneumonia. After studying in the pub- lic and high schools of his native city, he took a college preparatory course at Phillips And- over Academy, and then entered Bowdoin College, from which he was graduated in 1866. He obtained his professional education at the Medical School of Maine, from which he received the degree of M. D. in 1869. He followed this with a course of study at the Portland School for Medical Instruction, and with lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. He then en- tered upon practice at Portland, which was his field of labor until his death. In 1874-75 Dr. Webster acted as city physician, and was for


a long time connected with the Portland Dis- pensary, of which he was for some years treas- urer. He also served many years as attending physician at the State Reform School. He was an active member of the Maine Medical Society. His medical skill, as well as technical knowledge and the accuracy with which he made his diagnosis, brought him success in many difficult operations. He was one of the earliest to operate for appendicitis, and many of his cases required the utmost surgical skill. But he was modest and retiring, and his work never received more notice or praise than he could help. He had many friends among all classes, and took as great interest in his poorer patients as in those of ample means, endearing himself to all by his kindly manner and un- feigned friendliness and sympathy. He was most unselfish, and gave the best of his health and strength to his profession, laboring un- sparingly of self and self-interest. He mar- ried, January 15, 1873, Sophia Eloise Hart. (See Hart V.)


(VI) Hanson Hart, only son of Dr. Charles Edwin and Sophia E. (Hart) Webster, was born February 16, 1877, at Portland, Maine, where he received his early education in the public and high schools. He then entered Bowdoin College, where he graduated with the class of 1899. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, and at graduation was admitted to the honorary society, Phi Beta Kappa. He then removed to Boston, where he engaged in literary work. He is now em- ployed in the educational department of Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers, as editor and advertising manager. Mr. Web- ster is a member of the Harvard Church, Brookline, in which town he makes his home. He also belongs to the Bowdoin Alumni As- sociation of Boston, the Boston City Club, and the Winthrop Club of Brookline. He has published monographs on various educational subjects.


HART This name probably originates from the Anglo-Saxon word hart, meaning deer. In England the family were of good position and well con- nected, and several have made themselves famous in this country. A John Hart was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Edmund, a descendant of Samuel Hart, of Lynn, Massachusetts, was a builder of ships, among them the frigate "Constitution," of world-wide fame. Many of this name fought in Colonial wars, also in the revolu- tion.

(I) Colonel John Hart, born about 1705, was living in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as early as 1753, and probably some time be- fore, as in that year he sold land to the town for a consideration of one hundred fifty dol- lars, on condition that it be used as a burying ground; this was later known as North Burying Ground. He took part in the cap- ture of Louisburg ; in 1758 he commanded a New Hampshire company of one hundred men, and marched to Lake George to join General Abercrombie. He was for a time sheriff at Portsmouth. He was a master ship- builder, in 1754 selectman, in 1756 took part in the Crown Point expedition, and before he became colonel was lieutenant-colonel under Colonel Nathaniel Meserve, who had a prom- inent place in Portsmouth affairs. Colonel John Hart died October 30, 1777, aged sev- enty-two years. By the three marriages eleven sons were born, as follows: Thomas, a ma- riner, died in Europe; William, a mathemati- cian; George, a blacksmith; John, a rope- maker ; Benjamin ; Edward, a baker ; Richard ; Joseph ; Henry, a blacksmith, moved to New- ington ; Nathaniel, a blacksmith; and Oliver, a house carpenter.


(II) Benjamin, son of Colonel John Hart, was probably born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He married Esther, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel and Jane Meserve, who died December 30, 1806. Colonel Nathaniel was son of Clement Meserve, of Scarborough, Massachusetts, who removed to Portsmouth, New Hampshire ; he was a carpenter. Colonel Meserve had a daughter Jane, who married Thomas Hart, brother of Benjamin.


(III) Hanson Meserve, son of Benjamin and Esther (Meserve) Hart, was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and removed to Portland, Maine.

HALE This name has been known in the county of Hertfordshire, England, since early in the thirteenth cen- tury, also being found in several other Eng- lish counties in later times. In speaking of Sir Matthew Hale, of Gloucestershire, Lord Chief Justice, one historian states that the name of Hale has been long known in that county, where they have been esteemed for their probity and charity. The name is found in the various forms of de la Hale, de Hale, at Hale, Hales and Hale, and at least seven of this name had emigrated to the Colonies of Massachusetts and Connecticut before the year 1680.


(I) Thomas Hale, who lived in the parish of Watton-at-Stone, in Hertfordshire, Eng- land, married Joan Kirby, of the parish of Little Munden, Herts; the registers of Little Munden were lost before the year 1680, and no monuments have been found in the church- yard bearing either the name of Hale or Kirby, so it is not known where he or his wife were born. The names of his children are found on the parish register of Watton, as follows: Dionis, baptized August 15, 1602; Thomas; Mary, baptized October 8, 1609; Dorothy, baptized March 28, 1613; and Eliza- beth, baptized August 31, 1617. Thomas Hale, the father, was buried October 19, 1630; he was a yeoman.


(II) Thomas (2), only son of Thomas (I) and Joan (Kirby) Hale, was born probably in May or June, 1606, as he was baptized June 15 of that year. The first record of him found in America is when in 1638, he is found at Newbury, Massachusetts, having a wife and two children. He removed to Haverhill, the first record of his being assessed being in 1646, and he heads the list of the first selectmen of that place in that year; in 1677 he, with oth- ers, is appointed to try small causes; in 1648. appointed to keep a ferry, and in 1649 and later he was constable at Haverhill. He re- turned to Newbury before January, 1652, re- moved to Salem before January 28, 1658, where in 1659 his name appears as one of the glovers of that town, and about 1661-62 re- turned to Newbury, where he remained until his death, December 21, 1682. His wife, Thomasine or Tamosin, died in January, 1683. He seems to have become possessed of con- siderable land, and his name appears many times in transactions of buying and selling

same. In 1670 a dispute arose in the church at Newbury, in which Thomas Hale sided with the pastor, although his son Thomas held an opposite opinion; this did not, however, seem to disturb the peaceful relations between father and son. Children of Thomas and Thomasine Hale: Thomas; John, born in England, April 19, 1635; Samuel, born in Newbury, February 2, 1639-40; Apphia, born 1642, in Newbury, married Benjamin Rolfe.


(III) Thomas (3), eldest son of Thomas (2) and Thomasine Hale, was born Novem- ber 18, 1633, in England. He came with his parents to America, probably in 1637, and seems to have taken up a permanent residence in Newbury, where he died October 22, 1688, at the comparatively youthful age of fifty-five years. In 1670, when the dispute arose in the Newbury church, he took sides against Parson Parker, and was fined therefor by the court at Ipswich, one noble. He was a man of considerable property, and provided very liberally for all his children, who seemed all to be in rather comfortable circumstances. He married, in Salem, May 26, 1657, Mary, daughter of Richard and Alice (Bosworth) Hutchinson, of Salem, baptized at North Muskham, County Notts, England, December 28, 1630; she survived him many years, mar- ried William Watson, of Boxford, February 5, 1694-5, and died December 8, 1715, five years after the death of her second husband.

By his father's will he was left fifty pounds to be paid by executrix, fifty pounds to be paid him by his brother Thomas, also the "musket with all that belongs to it, one-half of ye bullets that shall be left in the house, and cutlash and belt," also "all the land I bought of Daniel Lad in Haverhill and half the twenty acres at Salem, or the value there- of." About 1699 he removed to Bradford, where he lived in the east part near the Row- ley line, in what is now Groveland; the cor- ners where the six roads meet near his resi- dence are still called "Hale's Corners." He was possessed of considerable property, and was a good farmer, being especially interested in fruit growing ; he died December 13, 1745.


He married (first) November 3, 1698, Martha, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Pearson) Palmer, of Rowley, born April 24, 1677, died June 14, 1723 ; she was the first person buried in the grave yard of the East Parish of Brad- ford, now Groveland.

The Bartlett name is one of BARTLETT the most ancient in England, and one of the most dis- tinguished in America. The original spelling was Barttelot, and that has been retained by the head of the English house, Sir and Colonel Walter B. Barttelot, of Stopham in Sussex.
