father. Mr. Foster, by his industry and close attention to farm- ing accumulated property. When the Androscoggin Railroad was built, he subscribed heavily to the stock, induced by the promise that a railroad station should be built near his house and the agency given to one of his sons. It was built there; but, a little later removed to its present site at Leeds Center.

HISTORY OF LEEDS
BREWSTER FAMILY.
Morgan Brewster, the sixth in regular descent from Elder William Brewster, of the Mayflower, was born in Lebanon, Conn., Aug. 26, 1762.
His parents were William Brewster, born Aug. 13, 1741, and Olive (Morgan) Brewster, born May 8, 1737. His boyhood was spent on his father's farm in Lebanon, Conn., and Rome, N. Y. His school privileges were limited, but by perseverance he obtained a fair education.
He served three years in the Revolutionary War and was once taken prisoner by a British sailing vessel.
After the close of the war he went to Hanover, Mass., and worked at shipbuilding. He married Martha Stetson, at Han- over, March 31, 1785.
In the spring of 1786, he moved his family to Freeport, Me., and during the summer he walked through the wilderness, by spotted trees, to Littleborough and bought a one-hundred-acre -lot, where Job Young had a small opening and had built a log house.
In the spring of 1787 he moved his family to their new home in the wilderness, and planted a small piece of corn where Job Young had burned off the wood. That season he commenced clearing away the sturdy forests, and the next season he planted several acres of corn and potatoes.
He built a barn in 1790. Previous to 1794 he had built a framed house and moved into it, having lived in the old log house seven years.
Many were the hardships he had to encounter during the first years of his abode in Littleborough.
There was no grist mill nearer than Turner. With a bag on his back, containing 5 pecks of corn, he tramped through the woods, guided by spotted trees, to Turner village and back, a distance of twelve miles. He used to work in a ship yard at Hallowell with Levi Bates, one of his neighbors. In figure Mor- gan was short, stout and robust and very quick. Levi was tall and slim. They would work until Saturday noon and then walk home, a distance of twenty miles. The writer has heard Grand- father Morgan say, that he was obliged to take five steps to Mr. Bates' three, but had no trouble in keeping up. They worked all one winter for (two and six) 42 cents per day with board.
He died Feb. 13, 1856, aged 93 years, 5 months, 17 days.
He raised a family of seven children. William, the eldest, married Christina Briggs, of Greene, and unto them were born sixteen children, several of whom are now living. He was one of the early settlers of Parkman, Me., was a prosperous farmer and held many offices of trust; was chairman of the Board of Selectmen many years ; religious preference, Baptist.

HISTORY OF LEEDS
GOULD FAMILY.
The name Gould, from whom the families of Leeds and other New England towns have descended, is first found in what is now Saco, Me. In 1725, three English brothers, Pelatiah, William and Simeon came out to the wilds of America. Soon after their arrival in this country Simeon died ; William went to Ohio, where he settled and reared a family ; Pelatiah settled in Saco, and from him the Goulds of Leeds trace their line of ancestors. A son, Samuel, born in that town in 1750; died at the age of 42 years. He was the father of eleven children, namely: Isaac, Robert, Joseph, Simeon, Samuel, Pelatiah, John, Eunice, Patience, Dor- cas and Sally; all of whom except Eunice and Sally, came to Leeds. In 1808, Isaac and Robert came to North Leeds for the purpose of shaving shingles. So well were they impressed with the place, the following spring found the other members of the family there. They constituted a colony of their own and settled near each other; Isaac, about one-quarter mile southerly of the railroad station; Robert, where Aubry Edgecome now resides ; Joseph, where J. F. Burnham is living ; Simeon, on the place now occupied by Welcome B. Gould; Samuel, on the hill northerly of the buildings of the late William Boothby; Pelatiah, where now Freedom Gould resides, and John, where Fred H. Knight now lives. The children of Isaac were George, Rufus and William.
Robert, who d. in 1868, reached a greater age than any other resident, 99 years; m. Annie Parcher, and had issue Jeremiah, Oren, Asa, Robert, Harrison, Olive, Philena, Sally, Eunice and Cordelia.
Joseph, m. - Hanes ; issue William, Annie, Ruth, Betsey® and Joseph.
Simeon, m. first, Stewart; issue Calvin, Stewart and Ingra- ham. Simeon m. second, Betsey Leadbetter. She was said to be, like some other step-mothers, unpleasant at times and cruel at other times. In retaliation, on a certain occasion, Ingraham used a chair in self-defense and floored the old lady. This, in one way, was a profitable feature in the life of the boy. His father gave him the remaining time of his minority after digging and removing the stumps on a certain piece of land. So great was the sympathy for the boy, all the young men and boys in the neighborhood turned out and helped perform the work. Thus resulted his fight for liberty and freedom.
The children of Simeon by his second wife were: Samuel, Eli, Lloyd, Caroline, Elizabeth, Frank and Russell.
Samuel m. Ruth Besse and settled in that portion of Leeds which was annexed to Wayne. They had issue Samuel, Phoebe, Hamilton, John and Pelatiah (twins), Patience, Jabez, Pelatiah,

Elisha D. Gould, who was born in Lisbon, Me., in October, 1812, was not known to have been a relative of the Goulds who early settled in Leeds. Joseph Gould, born about 1746, was an English ship owner who settled in what is now Bath, Me., pre- vious to the Revolutionary War. He was the father of three sons, Moses, Jacob and John, all of whom settled in Lisbon, Me., about 1790. One of these, Moses, born about 1776, married Ann, a daughter of Capt. Adams, of Bowdoin, who, with two sons, were killed at sea by pirates in 1795. The children of Moses and Ann Gould were: Thomas, Charlotte, Moses, Sarah, Elisha, Sam- uel and Joseph. Of these, Elisha, whose father was killed in 1815, and who at the age of 12 years was turned adrift in the world, never knowing what a home was until he married in 1838, Susan, a daughter of John and Ruth (Elden) Gould, of Leeds, and made one of his own in that town. On a farm located on the west side of Dead River in the extreme northern portion of the town they settled, reared a large family and died. In a fam- ily lot on the farm of Russell L., a son, are they resting from their labors. Mr. Gould was a charter member of Asylum Lodge, F. A. M., located at Wayne. They had issue Chessman D., Loring B., Russell L., Welcome B., Frank E., George B. and Elisha T.
