(XIV) Albion Keith Parris Harvey, son of Albert and Satira (Eastman) Harvey, was born in Dixfield, Oxford county, Maine, May 5, 1855. His father died when Albion was nine years old, compelling him to assume early in life, with his elder brother, the re- sponsibility of carrying on the farm. His mother afterwards remarrying, he was at the age of fifteen thrown entirely on his own re- sources, earning on farm, on ferry boat across the Androscoggin river at Canton Point, and in the logging camps, a livelihood, and suffi- cient to pay his way at Hebron and Yarmouth Academies. He then taught school at Jay Hill, Hartford and Canton, Maine. In 1887 he graduated from Hahnemann Medical Col- lege, Chicago, Illinois, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Later he took post-grad- uate courses at the New York Post Graduate Medical School, and then located at Lewiston, Maine. He went to Somersworth, New Hampshire, in 1904, where he established a private surgical sanitarium, and while there served as surgeon to the Boston & Maine railroad. He was coroner for Strafford county, New Hampshire, for several years, and president of the New Hampshire Medical Society while living in that state; and was for six years a member of the New Hampshire Board of Medical Examiners. He subse- quently removed to Washington, District of Columbia, where he has since been engaged in the active practice of his profession. He is operating surgeon to the National Homeo- pathic Hospital at Washington, District of Columbia, and lecturer on clinical medicine in the Southern Homeopathic College at Balti- more, Maryland. In 1904 he was chairman of the Bureau of Gynaecology of the Massa- chusetts Surgical and Gynaecological Society. He is a member of the following named or- ganizations : Washington (District of Co- lumbia) Homeopathic Medical Society ; Amer- ican Institute of Homeopathy; and the lead- ing medical societies of Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. During the sum- mer of 1908 he made a tour of the principal cities of Europe for the study of radium in its relation to his profession. He is an ardent lover of the woods and lakes, and most of his playtime finds him in Maine with gun or rod in hand. He is author of "In the Glow of the Camp Fire," and several other works. His residence is at 1018 Fourteenth street, N. W., Washington, District of Columbia. He mar- ried, November II, 1878, Fannie Florence Niles, who was born in Auburn, Maine.

(III) Benjamin, youngest son of GOULD John and Mary (Crossman) Goold, was born about 1693, in Taunton, and settled in Kittery, Maine, when
twenty years old. In 1715 he bought a house lot on the Berwick road, in the present town of Eliot. 'In 1719 he bought a small farm on what is known as "Goold's Corners," where his descendants have resided nearly two hundred years. He belonged to the Society of Friends, and died in 1781. He married, February 9, 1716, Rebecca, daughter of Dan- iel and Dorothy (Pray) Furbish. She was born April 19, 1694, and survived him one year, dying in 1782. Their children were: Benjamin, John, Sarah, Samuel, James, Na- thaniel, and Daniel.
(IV) James, fourth son of Benjamin and Rebecca (Furbish) Goold, was born June 5, 1730, in Kittery, and died in Biddeford, Maine, in 1810. He was a prominent citizen, having been a member of the provincial con- gress and the state legislature. He removed to Arundel, now Kennebunk, and was a sol- dier in Sir William Pepperill's regiment in the expedition to Canada in 1757. He mar- ried, February 7, 1750, Elizabeth Nason, born May 27, 1727, in Kittery, daughter of Jona- than and Adah (Morrell) Nason; (second) Hannah, daughter of Rev.

James Goold was the father of twenty children, namely: Benjamin (died young) ; James, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, Hannah, Jane, Benjamin, Lyman, Alexander, Thomas F., Lydia, Ebenezer, Samuel (died young), Samuel, Abel, and five others who probably died in infancy.
(V) Captain Alexander Gould, son of James and Hannah (Hovey) Goold, was born in Kennebunkport, Maine, February 27, 1771. He was an enterprising shipmaster, and like so many of the prominent citizens of that town he was largely interested in building and owning ships, with which they carried on a very profitable commerce with Atlantic and West Indian ports and also with the principal ports of Europe. The war of 1812 put a stop to this trade, and he purchased a farm in Lyman, York county, where he lived and cul- tivated the farm until the danger in American trade on the high seas was removed by the treaty of peace with Great Britain, and he therefore returned to Kennebunkport and re- sumed commerce with foreign as well as do- mestic ports. While thus engaged, he was at Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1817, and had just completed loading his ship for a foreign voyage and had departed down the Cape Fear
2153
STATE OF MAINE.
river as far as Southport, North Carolina, where he anchored in order to take advan- tage of the first favorable opportunity to put to sea. The weather detained his departure for several days, and meantime he and most of his crew were stricken by the prevailing ma- larial fever, common on the coast, and he and his son, Ivory Gould, who was a member of the ship's company, were victims to the dis- ease and were both buried in the cemetery at Southport, where their graves were later vis- ited by his son, Samuel H. Gould, who re- ported as to the beauty of the place where their bodies were lain to rest. He married, early in life, Betsey, fifth child of Lemuel and Anna (Burbank) Miller, and granddaughter of Deacon Asa Burbank, of Kennebunkport. Lemuel Miller was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was one of the volunteer soldiers who marched from his farm to the battle of Lex- ington, April 17, 1775, and he removed with the American army during the entire war, only visiting his family once during the entire conflict. He was a member of the bodyguard of General Washington, and received from that officer a commission as lieutenant, and the state subsequently gave him a grant of six hundred acres of land, and the United States a pension of thirty dollars per month which he drew and enjoyed during the remaining years of his life, as he lived to be ninety-four years of age and his wife, Anna (Burbank) Miller, was over ninety years of age at the time of her death. They had a large family of children, including: Eunice, Elizabeth, Asa, William, Betsey, William (2), Hannah, Oliver, George, Joshua and Lemuel. Eunice married Thomas Perkins; Betsey married Captain Alexander Gould, father of Captain Alexander Gould (2), and grandfather of William Harry Gould; Hannah married Cap- tain John White; George settled in Georgia, where he married and had a family ; and Lem- uel, the youngest, married Olive Burbank, of Parsonsfield, Maine. In May, 1896, none of the children of Lemuel and Anna (Burbank) Miller were living. Captain Alexander and Betsey (Miller) Gould had children: Will- iam, born March 19, 1801, died August 2, 1826; Alexander, whose date of birth does not appear in record; Asa, born March 6, 1805, who was lost at sea, in 1831; Joseph, born April 21, 1807, died December 16, 1874; Evaline, born January 29, 1809, died June 25, 1859; Samuel H., born May 10, 1811; Betsey, born April 24, 1813 ; Hannah Ann, born April 15, 1815, died April 18, 1818.
(VI) Alexander (2), second son of Cap-
tain Alexander (I) and Betsey Miller Gould, was born in Kennebunkport, Maine, about 1803. Like his father, uncles and brothers, he followed the sea, and owned and commanded a ship that did a coast and foreign trade be- tween the New England and Southern Atlan- tic ports and between these ports and Europe. He married Sarah Perkins; children: Char- lotte, Susan, Alexander, Adelaide and Will- iam Harry. Sarah (Perkins) Gould, mother of these children, lived to be over eighty-eight years of age, that being her age when she cel- ebrated her birthday in 1896.
(VII) William Harry, youngest son of Captain Alexander (2) and Sarah (Perkins) Gould, was born in Kennebunkport, Maine, and went to sea at the age of seventeen years, from that port. He rose to be a master ma- riner at the age of twenty-one, in command of the "Eva H. Fisk," and made voyages to South America and England. Another of the vessels in which he sailed was the "Alice Venard." He married Nellie Augusta, daugh- ter of Alden Bradford Day. Children : I. Agnes Maude Iquique, now wife of Robert Morris Tapley, residing in Alameda, Cali- fornia. 2. Will Day, mentioned below. 3. Harold Stearns, in the Fourth National Bank of Boston, Massachusetts. 4. Clifford Per- kins, student in the Kennebunkport public schools.
(VIII) Will Day, son of Captain William Harry and Nellie Augusta (Day) Gould, was born in Kennebunkport, York county, Maine, February 4, 1882. He was prepared for col- lege in the public schools and high school of his native town, and was graduated at Bow- doin College, Brunswick, Maine, A. B., 1904. At college he affiliated with the Delta Up- silon fraternity. He removed to New York City on graduating from Bowdoin, and be- came connected with an importing and export- ing business in New York. He is a Repub- lican in politics, and a member of the Maine Society of New York. His Republicanism he inherits from his father and paternal grand- father, and his branch of trade importing and exporting also is inherited from three genera- tions of importers and exporters and general shipping merchants.
There were numerous families BROWN of this name among the pio- neers of the Pine Tree State, and many representatives of the family were soldiers in the revolutionary war from Maine. The name has been conspicuous, not only in the military records of the nation generally,

but also in civil and religious affairs, and it has contributed its full proportion in the de- velopment of Maine.

He was admitted to the church in Kingston by letter from the Second church of Salisbury, September 14, 1735, and was chosen a deacon. He married, in 1728, Hannah, only daughter of Henry and Ruth (Morrill) Young. A full record of their children is not accessible. They include: I. Henry Young. 2.

She was born January 9, 1733, in that town, and died in 1796, in Farmington, Maine. Mr. Brown was among the earlier settlers in Win- throp, Maine, and in May, 1781, settled at Sandy River, being one of the first two per- manent settlers in the present town of Farm- ington, Maine, his colleague in this enterprise being Nathaniel Davis. Here he endured many hardships and privations. His first log cabin was erected in the intervale, and was washed away in the great flood of 1785. He and his family were compelled to flee from the house in the night in a boat to escape the flood. He subsequently built on the upland, and in 1787 built the first frame barn in the upper part of Farmington, the boards being fastened on with pegs. He carried a bullet received during the French and Indian war, until he was nearly ninety years old, when it was removed by two physicians of Industry.

He married Hannah Castle, daughter of Captain William West, of Hallowell, and when his fiftieth wedding an- niversary came around he celebrated this with great joy, his eleven children being present,
