e DENICO, JOSEPH, was one of the French Neutrals, or Arcadians, who were taken prisoners by the English in 1755, and distributed amongst the towns of New England. In 1667, the town voted " that Joseph Den- ico, a Frenchman, should be Transported to Quebeck in Kanaday at the charge of the town." He was not sent however, but resided in the town till the time of his death, about 1790. His children were, John, who moved to the eastward ; Joseph, who died in the conti- mental service ; Sally, who married Samuel Anderson ; Betsey, John Cleaves ; Judith, John Hall and Joseph Shackley ; and Hannah, William Green.

DORMAN, JABIZ, the first moderator, came from Box- ford about 1715. There was a Timothy Dorman of Boxford, who bought 500 acres of land in Swanfield, [Lyman] in 1693, and Ephraim Dorman witnessed the deed. It is probable that neither of them removed into this county, it being in the time of an Indian war. Ephraim was probably the father of Jabiz, and descend- ant of Thomas, who was one of the first settlers of Ips- wich, and was admitted freeman in 1635, and died at Topsfield in 1670. In 1716, Jabiz bought part of the land belonging to the heirs of Morgan Howell, and was made proprietor in Howell's right. In 1724, he was representative to General Court. In 1729, he had a grant of land on Saco road, and probably removed there. He drew "the third lot on the east side of the high- way." He was licensed to keep tavern in 1738, and continued that business till 1741. He was alive in 1746, but was probably advanced in years, as he had not been elected to any town office for several years before that period. He left four children, Jabiz; Jesse ; Hephzi- bah, who married James Ross and Mr. Dyer ; and Elizabeth.
1. Jabiz jr. married Hannah, the daughter of John Look of Wells. His children were, Jabiz, m. Mary God- frey; Mary, Elias Jacobs, Huldah, Ephraim Perkins; Hannah, died young ; Judith, m. Dummer Mitchell ; John, Hannah Huff; Ephraim, died in the continental service ; and Lucy, m. Ephraim Perkins.
