ing in the Bates Mills at Lewiston, and he was agent there until his resignation in 1887. Un- der his active management, life and prosperity permeated every department. From a plain cotton mill of thirty-four thousand spindles was constructed a wonderful factory turning out various productions : cottonades, ging- hams, dress-goods, fancy shirtings, cheviots, satin jeans, towellings, and plain crochet and Marseilles quilts in addition to the woolen mill. It was not until a bleachery was estab- lished in the mills and special machinery for bleaching had been invented and patented by Mr. Barker that the beautiful figures and pat- terns of the delicate Marseilles quilts could be preserved. This is but one instance of the many successful applications of Mr. Barker's mechanical and inventive skill, which were in- strumental in bringing the products of the Bates Mills to an unusually high standard. From 1883 till his resignation, Mr. Barker gave his attention to a thorough reconstruction of the Bates, which engrossed his time and caused even his iron constitution to feel the need of rest. For the next two years, from 1888 to 1890, he engaged in extensive travel, not only in this country, but in Mexico and the West Indies, for the purpose of recuperat- ing his health and also to examine opportuni- ties for investment. He did this, as he does everything, in the most thorough manner, and returned to Maine with a still greater faith in its superior advantages and brilliant future. The Bates Mills, however, have not monopo- lized all Mr. Barker's energies. In 1870, in company with J. H. Roak, John Cook, J. P. Gill and John R. Pulsipher, Mr. Barker formed the Little Androscoggin Water Power Com- pany, and paid forty thousand dollars for three hundred acres of land, mostly wooded, in the township of Auburn. Mr. Barker was chosen president, and at once began operations and built a mill. The forest was cleared off, a dam twenty-seven feet high built across the river, a canal blasted out of the solid rock, and a mill fifty by three hundred feet with four stories, completed in 1873. As a compliment to the vigor, industry and rapidity infused into the work by Mr. Barker's personality, the di- rectors voted that the mill should be named the Barker Mill, and he was continued as pres- ident until 1879. Later, in connection with E. F. Packard, Mr. Parker built the Avon Mill at Lewiston, of which he has since been presi- dent, and which is now the third largest quilt mill in the country. He was an organizer and original member of the New England Manu- facturers' Association, and was on the board
of managers for several terms. When the Lewiston Machine Company was organized in 1871, Mr. Barker was made president, a posi- tion which he still holds; and much of the suc- cess of that profitable corporation is due to his executive ability. In 1887, with T. E. Eustis, F. H. Packard, A. D. Barker and Ansel Briggs, Mr. Barker formed the Washburn Chair Company. In 1890 he was instrumental in forming the Lewiston Mill Company, was made its president and agent, and his attention is now given to its business. During the first year about one hundred thousand dollars was paid out for new machinery, and the capacity of the mill has been nearly doubled. Mr. Bar- ker was the highest salaried man in the state for several years.
From his first residence in Lewiston Cyrus I. Barker has been an acknowledged power in financial affairs. He was an incorporator of the People's Savings Bank, has been a trustee from the beginning, and its president since 1880. He was an incorporator and an original director of the Manufacturers' National Bank, and its vice-president for several years. In connection with the other officers of the bank he was instrumental in securing the permanent location of the State Fair grounds at Lewis- ton. His aid and enthusiasm in all movements pertaining to the advancement of the material prosperity of Lewiston caused him to be elected president of its board of trade in 1886, and he was annually re-elected until 1903. Mr. Barker has been vice-president of the state board of trade from its organization up to about 1903. As a Republican he has served in both branches of the city government, was on the first board of water commissioners, and a member of the board during the construction of the water-works. He was one of the com- missioners appointed to superintend the erec- tion of the first city building. In religious be- lief Mr. Barker has been a Universalist since early life, and was for a number of years one of the trustees of the Maine Universalist Con- vention. In 1850 he joined Saco Lodge, I. O. O. F., where he has passed through the chairs ; and in 1852 he joined Saco Lodge, F. and A. M. He retains his membership in both these organizations. Although in his eighty-first- year, Mr. Barker is still actively interested in affairs, and he does not hesitate to engage in new business deals. In November, 1906, he purchased the buildings formerly occupied by the Lewiston Machine Company, which he re- modelled at an expense of $115,000. The plant is now equipped with six thousand spindles for the manufacture of cotton yarns for quilts and

towels, and employs two hundred and fifty people. Mr. Barker has acquired more than a competency by his own unaided efforts, and recalls with satisfaction the patient industry and persevering energy by which he has risen from a humble position to one of eminent suc- cess. Of strong will and positive nature he places his individuality upon everything that he undertakes, and he is and will be for years a prominent landmark in the business and financial life of Androscoggin county.
On August 11, 1848, Cyrus I. Barker mar- ried Almira B. Jewett, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Jewett, of Denmark, Maine. Two chil- dren were born of this union : I. Alvarado D., married Georgia Sanderson; they have one daughter, Grace; he died September, 1907. 2. Sarah Ida, married F. H. Packard; one son, Cyrus F. Mrs. Almira B. (Jewett) Barker died August 24, 1886. On August 15, 1888, Cyrus I. Barker married (second) Mrs. Mary B. (Kilgore) Sprague, daughter of Ezra Kil- gore. Mrs. Barker died in 1896. He mar- ried (third) Ruth (Barker) Hutchins, Sep- tember 28, 1898.

died in the army, leaving one child. He came early to Cornish, and settled south of the Dea- con Jewett farm, where he lived to old age, esteemed, honored and beloved by all who knew him. He was of pleasing personal ap- pearance, having blue eyes, a fresh complexion, and prominent nose that indicated stability. His form was portly and well proportioned ; said to be a man of rare good sense and pru- dent of speech."
CARLTON In English and American his- tory the most prominent pub- lic man bearing this name is Sir Guy Carleton, Lord Dorchester, born at Strabane, Ireland, September 3, 1724; gov- ernor of Quebec, 1772, which place he de- fended against the American revolutionary army under General Richard Montgomery and General Benedict Arnold, December 31, 1775, at which assault Montgomery fell and General Carleton accorded his body the honor of a military burial. He invaded New York state in 1776, and fought a battle against General Arnold on Lake Champlain, and in 1777 was relieved of his command, but in 1781 succeeded Sir Henry Clinton as commander-in-chief in North America. Sir Guy Carleton died in Maidenhead, England, November 10, 1808. Another noted member of the family was Wil- liam Carleton, the Irish novelist, born in county Tyrone, in 1794, died January 30, 1869.

The family of Lombard of
LOMBARD this article has been estab- lished in New England nearly
three hundred years, and its appearance there followed the settlement of the Pilgrims at Ply- mouth only ten years.
(I) Thomas Lombard came from England in the "Mary and John" in 1630, and settled at Dorchester, Massachusetts. He requested to be made a freeman, October 19, 1630, and was admitted May 18 following. He removed in a few years, perhaps to Scituate first, but to Barnstable by 1640 or before, and died there in 1662. Thomas Lombard was "al- lowed to keep victualling, or an ordinary, for the entertainment of strangers and to draw wines in Barnstable," in 1639, being the first inn-keeper in the town. Thomas Lombard is named in the list of persons who appear to have been inhabitants, March 3, 1640. Decem- ber 22, 1651, an order was made by the town authorities providing that all lanes and inlets shall have gates-the gate against Rendezvous Creek, by Thomas Lombard Sr. Thomas brought from England, probably, Bernard and two other children and had born to him in Barnstable: Jedediah and Benjamin. "That he had other children of whom one of two must have been born in England," says Sav- age, "is plain enough from his will of March 23, 1663, in which, while he names these, men- tions that he formerly gave property to son Bernard; Joshua ; Joseph; and son-in-law Ed- ward Colman, who married his daughter, Mar- garet ; provides for wife Joyce, and son Ca- leb." Perhaps he had also a younger daugh- ter, Jemima, who may have made a runaway match with Joseph Benjamin at Boston, June IO, 1661; and lived many years after her father at New London.
(II) Jedediah, son of Thomas Lombard, was baptized September 19, 1641. He resided in Barnstable and is recorded as one of the in- habitants there in 1662. In 1710 the pro- prietors of the town appointed Jedediah Lom- bard and Thomas Paine, agent "to buy lands of the Indians within the township of Truro, when, and so often as, any of said Indians shall see cause to sell"; and "ordered that none others shall buy." Jedediah Lombard
2077

was one of the proprietors of Truro in 1730. He married, May 20, 1668, Hannah Wing, and had: Jedediah, Thomas, Experience and Han- nah.
(III) Jedediah (2), eldest son of Jedediah (I) and Hannah (Wing) Lombard, was born December 25, 1669. He married, November 8, 1699, Hannah, daughter of Lieutenant James and Hannah (Cobb) Lewis, of Barnstable. Their children born at Truro were: Solomon, James, Ebenezer, Sarah, Lewis, Ephraim and Hannah.
(IV) Rev. Solomon, eldest child of Jedediah (2) and Hannah (Lewis) Lombard, was born in Truro, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, April 5, 1702, and died in Gorham, Maine, in 178I. He graduated from Harvard College in 1723. He married, June 13, 1724, in Truro, Sarah Purinton. They joined the Truro church, Jan- uary 30, 1735, and were dismissed to the church in Gorham, July 7, 1751. He was called to the Gorham pastorate in 1750, and became the first pastor of the town. He was ordained December 26, 1750, and was dis- missed in 1764. On the list of original pro- prietors of Gorhamtown are the names of three Lombards-Jedediah and Caleb, both of Barn- stable, who owned respectively rights forty- seven and nineteen ; and Jonathan, of Tisbury, who owned No. 117. The proprietors of Gor- hamtown before giving Mr. Lombard a call to settle there held a special meeting at which they decided that: "Whereas the thirty-acre lot No. 47, being property of Solomon Lom- bard, being spruce swamp and not capable of settlement ; in consideration thereof, voted that said Lombard have in exchange therefor, thirty acres adjoining Nos. 34 and 61, and to lie in the same form as the other thirty acre lots, be giving a quit-claim deed of the aforesaid thirty acres unto William Cotoon for the fur- ther use and order of the proprietors." Mr. Lombard's home was on the thirty-acre lot No. 57, which lot the proprietors of the town gave him on account of his being the first settled minister. He was selectman of Gor- ham, was the town's first representative in the Massachusetts general court, and was re- elected four times. He was a delegate to the provincial progress in 1774, chairman of the committee of safety, and "active in the cause of the colonies in the war of the Revolution." He was chosen to be one of the judges of the court of common pleas in 1776 and died in office in 1781. The children of Solomon and Sarah (Purinton) Lombard were born before the family came to Gorham and were all bap- tized in Truro. They were Anna, Jedediah,
Sarah, Hannah, Susannah, Salome, Solomon, Mary, Richard, Ebenezer, Hezekiah, Calvin.
(V) Solomon (2), second son of Rev. Solo- mon (I) and Sarah (Purington) Lombard, was born May 15, 1738. He was a farmer and lived on the hundred-acre lot No. 5, where his grandson, Lewis Lombard, lived at the be- ginning of the present century. He was a member of Captain Joseph Woodman's com- pany in the Northern Army in 1757. He mar- ried Lydia Grant, of Berwick, by whom he had: Richard, Susannah, Hannah, Solomon (died young), James, Lydia, Peter, Ephraim, Solomon, Mary and Samuel.
(VI) Colonel Richard, eldest son of Solo- mon (2) and Lydia (Grant) Lombard, mar- ried and had a son Calvin.

He at- tended the public schools and Bridgton Acad- emy and went from Bridgton to Dartmouth College, entering 1890 and graduating in 1893. He then took the medical course in the same institution. He entered upon the practice of medicine in Greene and remained there two and a half years, and in 1896 re- moved to South Portland, where he has since had a large practice, and as he is a thrifty business man has accumulated a handsome property. He was city physician of South Portland four years and member of the school board four years. He is a member of the Cumberland County Medical Association and of the Maine Medical Association. In politics he is a Democrat. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., Improved Order of Red Men, and Knights of the Maccabees. Dr. Lombard mar- ried, August 25, 1894, Laura Effie Thomas, daughter of Robert S. and Helen (Baldwin) Thomas, of Greene. They had one child, Reginald Thomas, born August 30, 1896.

From what can be learned MERRIMAN of this family it is of either English or Scotch descent. Certain it is that it was and is a hardy, in- dustrious, God-fearing family. The name was often originally spelled Merryman, and was generally changed some time in the last cen- tury. The coat-of-arms of the Merrymans shows that the family was one of valor and worth across the seas.
