ROSE.
Dr. Daniel Rose was b. in Thomaston, 1771. Before he was 20 years of age he came to B. and taught school in the chamber of Ephraim McFarland's store, then standing near where George W. Dolloff lives, now the store of W. O. McCobb. He m. (1) a Miss Hammond, who d. without issue; (2) Olive Peaslee, of B., 1807. His first m., which occurred before 1800, was at about the time he was ready to settle in practice. At that time he came to B. and bought or built where John E. Kelley now lives. That place was his home until 1823, when he rem. to Thomaston, where he d., Oct. 25, 1833. Their chil. were: I, Belinda, 1808; d. 1811. II, Edwin, 1809; m. Caroline S.

acting Governor Jan. 2-5, 1822. Under the act of Dec. 22, 1822, he was one of a Com. of six to make a division of the public lands bet. Me. and Mass. Dr. Rose and Silas Holman made all drafts and plans that accompanied the report, which were filed at each State capitol and accepted by each Legisla- ture. Under the resolve of Feb. 9, 1822, on the location of the seat of gov- ernment, Dr. Rose and Judge Benjamin Greene, Berwick, were selected as the Com. Portland, Brunswick, Hallowell, Augusta, Waterville, Belfast and Wiscasset were considered. In this report Wiscasset was favored, if a coast town might be selected, for advantageous location as regards approach by both land and water, and its strategic situation as regarded ease of fortifying in case of invasion; Augusta was recommended if an inland town might be decided upon. On their report the latter town was chosen. In 1832 Dr. Rose, for Me., and George W. Coffin, for Mass., were selected to formulate a plan and agree upon a system for the sale, disposition and management of public lands held jointly by the two States. Their recommendations were accepted. With another he was chosen to select the most available place for a State prison. Thomaston was recommended and accepted. He was its first warden and held the position for several years. He was land agent in 1828 and again in 1831. During his practice in B. he used a saddle horse entirely for conveyance. Dea. Paul Giles remembers Dr. Rose plainly and has given the author a brief description of him (1905) as he has carried the impression since 1823, when he was a boy of nine years. "He was a man about six feet tall and would weigh, in my opinion, more than 200 pounds. He was finely formed, erect, black hair and black eyes, always clean shaven, and he had a face that would recommend him anywhere."

She was a bright type of Scotch descent, possessed of a remarkable memory, viva- cious in conversation, ever ready and pleased to refer to the memories and traditions of her family and the land from which they came. In the death of this venerable woman two families were virtually ended in town: that of Sproul in name, and that of Leishman in fact, for she had been the last sur- viving person to bear that name.

FAMILY HISTORY.
ADAMS.
1 SAMUEL ADAMS founded the family of that name in Boothbay. He was born in Derry (formerly Londonderry), N. H., Apr. 3, 1733. His father, William, and an uncle, James, came to America in 1721. They settled at Londonderry, a prominent point at that time, with other Scotch-Irish immi- grants and d. there. It is said that they were born in Argyleshire, Scotland. James, the older, married in Ireland, but William is thought to have married in America. His wife's name was Mary and their oldest child was born in 1726. Samuel, who settled in Townsend, was the third in a family of five sons, his brothers' names being, respectively, James, Jonathan, William and David, names which have often appeared among the Boothbay descendants. William, the father, died Nov. 1, 1761, aged 72 yrs .; Mary, the mother, died Oct. 5, 1755, aged 61 yrs. Samuel settled at Townsend at some time prior to Dec. 30, 1762, for on that date he married Sarah, the only daughter and youngest child of Andrew and Jean Reed, founders of the Reed family in Boothbay. She was born on shipboard, Mar. 19, 1743, on the passage from Ireland to America. Their home was a house built southerly from the build- ings of Dea. Paul Giles. There they lived, reared their family and died. He owned 320 acres of land on the westerly side of Adams Pond, then called Long Pond, extending southerly to the Center, northerly to the Wylie land and westerly to Leighton Colbath's and John Serote's, which he bought of his brother-in-law, David Reed, Apr. 14, 1768, for £50. He was a carpenter, building the first church in Boothbay and several of the early frame houses. Records plainly indicate him a man of prominence and influence in town. He d. May 15, 1818; Sarah, his wife, d. Dec. 10, 1828. Children:
