*There is a mistake relative to Hannah Hutchins. The de- scendants of Samuel Hutchins, and of John Burbank, assert that her first husband was Lemuel Perkins, and her second, John Bur- bank ; and the offspring of Joshua Walker are equally confident that her husbands were George Perkins and Joshua Walker. There must be a mistake as to her christian name ; or the Hannah Hutchins who married Joshua Walker, must have belonged to another family. The name of George Perkins is to be found on the town records, but that of Lemuel is not.

LORD, TOBIAS and Benjamin Meeds, were cousins, and came into this town about 1747. They were born at Rocky Hill in Berwick, near Kittery. " A gentle- man distinguished for his knowledge of all that relates to the history of our country, is of the opinion that the name has been altered from Laud, and that it was done about the time of the disgrace of Archbishop Laud, by those who emigrated hither ;- not wishing in the country of their adoption, to perpetuate the name of their persecutor, nor to trace their genealogy through him under a scaffold. The first mention we find of the name is in Ipswich, when Robert Lord arrived in 1636-7, and died 1683. Robert served 20 years in the early Indian Wars, and was so hardy a soldier, that when he left the service, he could not lie on a feather bed ; and although he was short of stature, he was one of the stoutest, and most athletic men to be found in the army. When the Indians had proposed to decide a battle by sin- gle combat, Robert Lord was appointed on the side of the Whites and Colonists for their champion. He accep- ted, and it was agreed that he should stand against the strongest Indian they could select. The combatants were to run and meet each other at full running speed, half way between the two armies, to close and take what was called the Indian hug. A Goliath of an Indian, seven feet and upwards high, was selected ; and Robert

being short and apparently a small man, the Indian, like his prototype of old, met him at first slowly and with all the disdain, derision and assurance of victory with which Goliath approached David. In an instant, like two lions they closed, and in an instant the mam- moth Indian prostrate, bit the ground. Not satisfied, and amid the tremendous shouts of one army, and the reproaching clamor and lamentations of the other, they agreed to rush and clinch again. In the second rencounter Lord took a hip lock on the mighty Indian and threw him all but a rod ! burst a large vein !! and the savage army acknowledged beat. The sturdy In- dian however afterwards reported that the little man derived his strength from the White Devil of the Eng- lish Army.
" Robert left four sons, Thomas, Samuel, Robert and Nathaniel. The two former removed to Charlestown, and the two younger remained in Ipswich, from whom the families of New England sprung. About 1700, three persons of the name, said to be brothers, arrived in Berwick from Ipswich, viz. Abraham, Nathan, (prob- ably Nathaniel,) and John. The families in Kennebunk and Kennebunk-port, descended from John, who left three sons, John, Thomas and Tobias. Tobias left one son only, Tobias, who removed to Arundel."*

Charity Curtis ; Jane, John Stone ; Tobias, Mehitable Kimball and Hipsah Conant ; Lydia, Samu- el Kimball ; Nathaniel, died in the army ; Betsey, m.

*Ms. letter from Charles A. Lord, Esq. of New York.
Felt (Hist. of Ipswich,) says Robert Lord " appears to have been the son of widow Catharine Lord." He was Clerk of the Courts. His son Robert, m. Sarah Wilson, one of whose sons, Nathaniel, removed to the Isles of Shoals. Nathaniel was probably the same person that was admitted freeman at York in 1652.
