learn the trade. This he followed until 1881, in connection with various other enterprises.

FOSTER The first that is known of the name of Foster was about the year 1065, A. D., when Sir Richard Forrester went from Normandy over to England, accompanied by his brother-in- law, William the Conqueror, and participated in the victorious battle of Hastings.
The name was first Forrester, then Forester, then Foster. It signified one who had care of wild lands; one who lived in the forest, a characteristic trait which has marked the bear- ers of the name through all the centuries that have followed. The Fosters seem to have located in the northern counties of England and in the early centuries of English history participated in many a sturdy encounter with their Scottish foes. The name is mentioned in "Marmion" and the "Lay of the Last Mins- trel." From one of these families in the seven- teenth century appears the name of Reginald Foster. Tiring of the tyrannic rule of Charles I, he came to America and settled in Ips- wich, Massachusetts, in about the year 1638. He was a prominent figure in the early days, as the colonial records show.
During its existence the Foster family has been a hardy, persevering and progressive race, almost universally endowed with an intense nervous energy; there have been many in- stances of high attainments; a bearer of the name has been ex-officio vice-president of the Republic (Hon. Lafayette G. Foster, president pro tem. of the senate during Andrew Jack- son's administration ) ; another, Hon. John W.
Foster, of Indiana, was premier of President Harrison's cabinet; another, Hon. Charles Foster, of Ohio, was the secretary of the treasury. Many have attained high positions in financial life, and many have gained promi- nence in military affairs. The record of Major-General John G. Foster, through the Mexican war and the war of the Rebellion, stamped him as a soldier without fear and without reproach. Professor Bell is the re- puted and accredited inventor of the telephone, but before that distinguished man had ever conceived the plan of electric transmission of the human voice, Joseph Foster, of Keene, New Hampshire, a mechanical genius, had constructed and put into actual use a telephone embodying practically the same working plan as the Bell machine. Query : Could it be pos- sible that Joseph Foster's telephone afforded the suggestion to Professor Bell? The Foster family has an authentic record covering a period of nearly one thousand years. It has furnished to the world its share of the fruits of toil; it has contributed its share to enter- prise and progress. Wherever it appears in the affairs of men it bears its crest: the iron arm holding the golden javelin poised towards the future.
(I) Reginald Foster came from England at the time so many emigrated to Massachusetts, in 1638, and with his family was on board one of the vessels embargoed by King Charles I. He settled in Ipswich, in the county of Essex, with his wife, five sons and two daughters, where he lived to extreme old age, with as much peace and happiness as was compatible with his circumstances in the settlement of a new country. The names of his five sons who came with him from England were : Abraham, Reginald, William, Isaac and Jacob. One of the daughters who came with him from England married (first) a Wood, and after his death she married a Peabody. His other daughter married a Story, ancestor of Dr. Story, formerly of Boston, and of the late Judge Story. It is remarkable of this family that they all lived to extreme old age, all married, and all had large families from whom are descended a very numerous progeny settled in various parts of the United States.
(II) Abraham, eldest son of Reginald Fos- ter, was born at Exeter, England, in 1622; came with his father in 1638 and settled in Ipswich, where he married Lydia Burbank and had children: Ephraim, Abraham, Benjamin, Ebenezer, Mehitable and Caleb.
(III) Caleb, youngest child of Abraham and Lydia (Burbank) Foster, was born at Ipswich,

Caleb died January 25, 1766, aged eighty-nine years. In his will he does not mention Philemon or John, so it is presumed that they died before their father.
(IV) Caleb (2), second son of Caleb (I) and Mary (Sherwin) Foster, was born in Ips- wich, Massachusetts, June 5; 1708, and re- sided in the same town. - He married, at Rowley, November 4, 1729, Priscilla Buxton. Caleb Foster Jr. and wife Priscilla under a deed to Thomas Foster, of Ipswich, January 14, 1763. This is the latest account found of him. There is no record of children at Ips- wich, says the genealogy, but three are credited to Caleb and Priscilla : John, Reginald, and Nathan, whose sketch follows.
(V) Nathan, youngest son of Caleb (2) and Priscilla (Buxton) Foster, was born at Ips- wich and resided at "Pigeon Hill," Ipswich, and Rockport. His wife's name was Miriam. They had eight children: Elinor, Jemima, William, Nathan, Ebenezer, John, Miriam and Zabud.
(VI) Sergeant William, eldest son of Na- than and Miriam Foster, was baptized at Rock- port, May 30, 1760. He was a revolutionary soldier for many years and was a sergeant in the Massachusetts militia and present in the battle of Bunker Hill. After the war he re- moved to Bristol, Maine, and was granted a pension July 22, 1834, while residing in Lin- coln county, that state. The date of his death is not known. He is said to have had three wives. His children were: Thomas D. and Ebenezer.
(VII) Thomas D., eldest child of Sergeant William Foster, was born in Bristol, Maine, in 1782, and died in Montville, July 30, 1835. He was a resident of Montville, where he mar- ried Joanna Carter, December 12, 1812. She was born in 1793, and died in Unity, Decem- ber 14, 1885, aged ninety-two. He is said to have been twice married, the first wife's name being Nancy Paul. He is also said-to have been the father of fifteen children, but the five given by the genealogy are: Thomas Al- bert, Esther Carter, Ann C., Eliza J. and Ebenezer.
(VIII) Dr. Thomas Albert, eldest son of Thomas D. and Joanna (Carter) Foster, was born in Montville, February 20, 1827, and died in Portland, November 27, 1896.

He lived in Montville during his early years. When a young man he moved to Unity, where he engaged in farming and taught school in the winters. He married first while there, and after the death of his wife took up the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Nathaniel R. Boutelle, and after he graduated from Jefferson College, in 1856, moved to Montville, where he practiced for three years. In 1859 he came to Portland and there prac- ticed his profession. When the call came for volunteer surgeons on two occasions after big battles he volunteered and served a short time, each time in field and hospital work. He mar- ried (first) in Unity, Eliza, daughter of David McManus; (second) in South Montville, 1857, Adelaide Woodman, who was born in 1832, and died in 1865; (third) in Augusta, 1868, Mary Woodman, who was born 1836.

(IX) Dr. Barzillai Bean, eldest child of Dr. Thomas A. and Eliza (McManus) Foster, was born in Unity, 1849. He attended the public schools, from which he went to Westbrook Seminary, where he graduated in 1867. Soon afterwards he began the study of medicine with his father and Dr. S. H. Weeks, and in June, 1870, engaged in the general practice of medicine and surgery in Portland, which he has ever since carried on. His progress in his chosen profession has been steady and satisfactory, and to-day he is one of the repre- sentative physicians of the city, and he holds responsible positions in various leading insti- tutions of the state. He has been president of the Maine Academy of Medicine and Sci- ence; consulting surgeon of the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary; surgeon-in-chief of the genito-urinary and rectal departments of the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary, and was assist- ant surgeon of the Togus Soldiers' Home in 1869.

(I) William Little, one of the LITTLE many emigrants from the north of Ireland to the United States during the eighteenth century, was born in
1780 and came to Boston in his early man- hood. He married Judith Thaxter and about 1813 removed with his family to Verona, Maine, where his daughter Harriet was born. He soon purchased the farm now occupied by his grandson, Joseph T. Little, in the eastern part of Bucksport, and lived there till his death in July, 1859. His wife died the same month, at the age of eighty-five. Their chil- dren were: James, William, who married, in 1833, Hannah Page; Margaret, who married, in 1830, Daniel Page, 3rd; Harriet, who mar- ried, April 4, 1838, Eldad Page; all residents of Bucksport.
(II) James, eldest son of William and Ju- dith (Thaxter) Little, was born in Massa- chusetts about 1809. . He settled with his father at Bucksport, Maine, and although he learned the trade of a shoemaker, never prac- ticed it to any extent, being engaged in farm- ing and lumbering. He was a Universalist in religious belief and had the courage of his convictions. In his day itinerant preachers sometimes fell into the error of wholesale de- nunciation of other denominations. He once attended a service conducted by a Methodist minister who according to rumor had never paid for the horse he rode to Bucksport from the western part of the state. At the close of a harangue in which all Universalists were classed as liars, Mr. Little arose and, after announcing himself a Universalist, asked, with a meaning glance at the preacher: "Are all Methodists thieves because one Methodist min- ister stole a horse?" The meeting closed ab- ruptly and the minister left town the next morning. He married Sarah Chesman, of Weymouth, Massachusetts, who died in March, 1877, at the age of sixty-eight, surviving a few months her husband, who died the pre- ceding November. Their children, all born in Bucksport, were: Henry; Jane, who married in 1843 Anthony E. Doe, of Bucksport, and died soon after; Susan, who married in 1853 Aquila T. Atwood, and died June 19, 1900, leaving no children; Sarah, who married in 1854 Reuben Stubbs and died without issue ; Mary, who married in 1853 Moses Blaisdell and had several children ; Joseph Thaxter, who married in 1858 Margaret A. Bowdoin, has three children and lives in the old homestead at Bucksport.
(III) Henry, son of James and Sarah (Chesman) Little, was born June 21, 1822. He married, in 1845, Cynthia B. Page, who died September 29, 1903, aged seventy-seven years and twenty-five days. Mr. Little was a farmer in Bucksport, but died at Orrington,

Maine, July 16, 1901. Their children were : Adderson C., and Julia, who married Clar- ence Wight and lives in Springfield, Massa- chusetts.
(IV) Adderson Chesman, son of Henry and Cynthia B. (Page) Little, was born Septem- ber 27, 1847, at East Bucksport. He was a carpenter by occupation, and died of con- sumption September 24, 1899. He married, November 13, 1876, Abbie Hutchings, daugh- ter of Captain Samuel Alexander and Mercy H. (Hutchings) Colby, who survives him and resides at Bucksport. Captain Colby had an honorable war record, serving in the Eigh- teenth Maine Volunteers.
(V) Leslie Eugene, only son of Adderson Chesman and Abbie H. (Colby) Little, was born July 17, 1879. He was educated in the Bucksport public school and at the East Maine Conference Seminary, where he was prepared for entrance to college. He matriculated at the University of Maine, where he was grad- uated C. E. in the class of 1904. He was en- gaged as a civil engineer on the Bangor and Aroostook railroad; on the Maine Central railroad; on the Lake Shore and M. T. rail- road and on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. His last position gave him residence in Providence, Rhode Island, and office at No. 403 Union Station, New York, New Haven and Hartford offices. He be- came a member of the Masonic fraternity and was initiated as a member of Felicity Lodge, No. 19, of Providence, and his college associa- tion is in the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He is not married.
HERSEY The surname Hersey, or Her- sy, is a very ancient one, and probably of French origin, as it appears among the list of noblemen and gen- tlemen who went to England with William the Conqueror. The earliest person of the name Hersey in New England was the progenitor of the line which is treated of in this article; and no person of this name except members of this family is mentioned in early New England annals. In records at Hingham the name is found Hersie, as William Hersey wrote it, also Harsie, and Hearsey. In other and later records the name also appears under the forms of Harcy, Harsey, Harssy, Harsy, Hearsay, Hercy, Herecy, Hersy, and so on. Over one hundred and twenty-five enlistments of mem- bers of this family are mentioned in the Mas- sachusetts Revolutionary Rolls-most of them under the name Hearsey, Hersey, Hercy. One authority gives the origin of the name as lo-
cal, derived from a town named "Herseaux," which is situated almost on the border between what was ancient Normandy and what was ancient Flanders.
(I) William "Hersie" came to New Eng- land in 1635, says the History of Hingham, and early in the autumn of that year located in Hingham with others who were passengers on the ship he came in. July 3, 1636, he had a house lot of five acres granted him, on what is now South, nearly opposite West street. At the time of the trouble about the election of officers for the train band, 1644-1645, William Hersey was assessed a heavy fine for support- ing the views of Rev. Peter Hobart and his friends. The family rate towards the erection of the new meeting house was the largest but one upon the list. He was undoubtedly a na- tive of England, and perhaps of Old Hing- ham ; but the place and date of his birth have not yet been definitely ascertained. He is men- tioned in old records as "husbandman." He was a leading citizen of Hingham, was made freeman in March, 1638, was selectman 1642, 1647, 1650, and was a member of the Artillery Company, 1652. He died March 22, 1658. In his will, dated March 9, 1658, proved April 29 following, he gives to his son William "ye house and house Lott that he now Lives in and ye penn plott before his gate, and ye Lott I bought of Matthew Chafey at ye Capts Tent," etc .; also valuables to sons John and James ; to daughters "Francis" (Frances), Elizabeth and Judith, £5 each; "to my grandchildren, John Croade and William Hersie, 40s. each. All ye rest of my land, housing, goods, etc., to my wife Elizabeth during her life as a widow." The inventory of his estate made April 28, 1658, enumerated property valued at £419 13s. 6d. His wife's Christian name was Elizabeth. She survived her husband, was executrix of his estate, and died in Hingham, October 8, 1671. The children of William and Elizabeth were: William, Francis, Elizabeth, Judith, John and James.
(II) William (2), eldest child of William (1) and Elizabeth Hersey, was probably born in England and came to New England with his parents in 1635. He was an energetic, intelli- gent, and trusted citizen; was made a free- man, 1672; constable, 1661 ; selectman, 1678, 1682, and 1690. His will, made in 1689, was proved January 27, 1692. He died September 28, 1691. His first wife, whom he married about 1656 or 1657, was Rebecca, daughter of Thomas and Alice Chubbuck. She was bap- tized in Hingham, April, 1641, and died June 1, 1686, aged forty-five years. The Chris-

tian name of his second wife, as appears by his will, was Ruhamah. There is no entry of this marriage nor of her death, on the Hingham records. His children, all born in Hingham, by wife Rebecca, were: William, John, James, Rebecca, Deborah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Ruth, Mary, Joshua, Judith (died young), · and Judith.
(III) William (3), eldest child of William (2) and Rebecca (Chubbuck) Hersey, was born in Hingham, October II, 1657. He was a soldier in Captain Johnson's company, De- cember, 1675; was constable, 1694; and repre- sentative, 1698 and 1699. After 1704 he re- moved with his family to Abington. He mar- ried, first, June 12, 1683, Mary, whose sur- name is unknown. She died October 17, 1690. He married, second, October 2, 1691, Mrs. Sarah (Langlee) May, widow of. Jonathan May, and daughter of John and Sarah (Gill) Langlee. She was born in Hingham, March 15, 1668. The children by the first wife were : Deborah, David, Isaac and William; by the second wife: Sarah, Stephen, Joseph, an in- fant, and Hannah.
