HISTORY OF LEEDS
HOWE FAMILY.
Prominent among the early settlers of the town of Winthrop is the name of Icabod Howe. To him was granted in that town Aug. 22, 1770, Lot No. 70. The first meeting, that called for the purpose of municipal organization, May 20, 1771, was presided over by Mr. Howe. He was also elected a member of the Board of Selectmen. His name frequently occurs in the list of officers in that town's early history, and in 1775, the earliest date given that Winthrop sent a representative to the Provincial Congress, held at Cambridge Feb. 5, he was elected to that office. By direction of the Provincial Congress to discipline the inhabitants in military tactics, Mr. Howe was elected Captain. The place of Mr. Howe's nativity was Marlboro, Mass. He was a son of Jonathan and Sarah (Hapsgood) Howe. He married Sarah and resided for a few years in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, from which place he moved his wife and three children to Winthrop in 1768. Their children were: Jonathan, b. July 31, 1760; Millicent, b. April 25, 1762 ; Sarah, b. March 15, 1766 ; Stephen, b. Dec. 9, 1768; David, b. Sept. 1, 1771 ; Susanna, b. April 13, 1774; Eunice, b. Feb. 22, 1776.
To his eldest son, Jonathan, were the people of Wayne indebted for their first mill and mill-dam, he being the first man to obstruct the free course of the waters of the "Thirty-Mile River," on their way to the sea. Not to this mill alone were the energies of Mr. Howe confined. In 1801, he started to erect a mill at the south end of Androscoggin Lake, on the site where the mills of George Gordon were subsequently built. At his mill in Wayne village his lumber was sawed and prepared, put in the water, rafted and started on its course, but before reaching its destination Mr. Howe was accidentally drowned.
Stephen, the second son of Ichabod Howe, was his first child born in Winthrop. He married Eleanor Turner and settled in Leeds, about 1790. His children were: Lewis, Christina, Lovina, Jane, Stephen, Jonathan, Cyprian and George.
One of these sons, Cyprian, married Mary, a daughter of Thomas and Lydia ( Bishop) Graffam, of Leeds. They had issue George T., Jane, Charles, Frances, Lydia, Marcellus, Cyrus and Moses. George T., born June 26, 1836, was educated in the town schools and in the high schools in Winthrop and Lewiston. In June, 1853, he started in to learn the trade of brick-maker. From 1857 to 1860, he carried on a successful business in Lewis- ton. From there he went to Brunswick, and after the great fire in Boston in December, 1872, he furnished large quantities of brick used in the reconstruction of buildings in that city. Jan- uary I, 1879, he married Edith, a daughter of James and Edith (Walton) Hutchins. They have issue one daughter, Edith, born

HISTORY OF LEEDS
March 11, 1880. In May, 1880, he opened the extensive and cel- ebrated brick plant which he has operated 21 years at Leeds Junction, and supplies the local trade in addition to the immense business of the Maine Central Railroad, which, in connection with the quantities sold for public and private buildings, amount to an annual output of more than 1,200,000. Aside from this business, he is engaged in the wood and lumber trade and exten- sively in agriculture. At the present time he owns more than 500 acres of land in the vicinity of Leeds Junction, and holds 27 deeds of real estate there and in other places. Few farmers in Maine cut the quantity of hay harvested by Mr. Howe,-160 tons in a single year. Mr. A. G. Bates has been in his employ most of the time since 1867, alone preparing the clay and sand to make more than twenty millions of bricks; and when ready for shipment, has loaded them on the cars. Although Mr. Howe has never joined any church, he is a liberal contributor to the support of all the different societies in his section, and in that (he says) makes no mistake. If we should fail to say that he is a "Jeffer- sonian, Tilden, Cleveland Democrat," we might merit his dis- pleasure.
It is a matter of regret that a more complete sketch of the Howe family of Leeds, has not been furnished for this work.
WING FAMILY.
The Wing family is one of the oldest in Leeds.
Bachelder Wing and family came from the town of Sand- wich on Cape Cod, Barnstable County, Mass., in 1793, and settled in Leeds on the river road on the farm now owned by Augustine V. Deane. But wishing to avail himself of the society of the Quaker settlement, then established at the south end of the town on and near what is now known as Quaker Ridge, he exchanged places with a Mr. Deane on Richmond Hill, so called, securing a rugged, but fertile farm, where he reared his family of twelve children, viz .: Nabby, Hannah, Caleb, James, Experi- ence, Allen, Mary, Mehitable, Sands, Phebe, Almira and William. Of these, Nabby married Cyrus Sampson and settled in South Leeds at the corner where Mr. Sampson was in trade at the time, and remained here for several years, later removing to East Winthrop;
Hannah married Benjamin Dunham; settled on the farm where George Beckler and son now live, remaining there through life;
Caleb settled on the south half of the homestead lot, building :a new set of buildings thereon and remained there;
James married and went to Somersworth, N. H .; was engaged

HISTORY OF LEEDS
in a cotton mill for several years, when he returned to Quaker Ridge and purchased the farm where A. S. Tuck now lives, this being at present one of the oldest houses in Leeds ;
Experience, married a Dudley and moved to China, Me .; Allen, married and moved to Chandlersville ;
Mary, married Hazel Sampson, settled in South Leeds, where Thomas Packard now lives ;
Mehitable, married Howard Sylvester and settled in North Greene ;
Sands, lived on the home place for several years when he moved to Monmouth, and later, to Manchester; where he remained till death on the place where his son, Willis, now lives ;
Phebe, married Cyrus Estes and located at East Winthrop;
Of these, the only remaining line of descendants now in Leeds are those of Caleb, who was twice married. His first wife, Joanna Gilbert, bore one son, Adna, who died at the age of 54 years, unmarried.
By his second wife, Desire Turner, he had seven children, Salmon A., Joanna, Diana, Ormand T., Hiram C., Stephen D. and William. Of these, Salmon A., born in 1813, after reaching his majority, went to Hallowell, then called "Forks of the Road," where he learned the oil cloth business in the employ of Pope & Sampson, who sent him to Prattsville, N. Y., to superintend the building of a factory and establish the manufacture of oil cloths, or rubber cloths, so called at that time, which were made in one piece to fit a room, and all of hand labor.
The journey from Maine to New York required one week at that time.
While there, he married Ardelia Coffin, of Livermore, Me., and through the ill effects of a confined life in the factory, and with a strong and natural love for his native place and farm life, he returned to "Quaker Ridge," Leeds, and purchased the farm where he remained till the time of his death. Through this marriage five children were born: Duane Snyder, Vesta Coffin, Elsie Howard, Junius Carlos and Stephen Arland. Of them we will say that when the War of the Rebellion broke out, Duane was ready to volunteer and enlisting in the navy on board the Monadnock, he sailed for Cuba. Was in the battle of Fort Fisher and many other engagements. After three years' service he was discharged and returned home, where he married Clara Howard, by whom two children were born, Elsie H. and Alfred S .; lived for a few years, but having a natural liking for rail- road work, he chose this for his life vocation and is, at this writing, making his daily run from Portland to Boston and return as Pullman conductor. He has a pleasant home in Port- land ;
Vesta Coffin, has been twice married. By her first husband,

HISTORY OF LEEDS
Augustus Jones, three children were born: John B., Louis A. and Ralph D. Is now living on Quaker Ridge on the farm before mentioned-the wife of A. S. Tuck;
Elsie Howard, married Cyrus H. Farley, of Portland, Me. To them five children have been born: Philip H., Elizabeth, Charles H., Henry G. and Florence ;
Junius C., still living on the homestead, has been twce married,. having one son, Harold, by his first wife, Mary E. Hammond. By the second marriage, with Dora L. Howard, three children have been born : Beulah A., Arland J. and Stella A .;
Stephen A., after a few years of farm life in Leeds, married Carrie Boothby, of Leeds, and moved to Nashua, N. H. and engaged in a cotton mill; from which place, after a few years of success and advancement, he was called to the position of over- seer in Putnam, Conn.
Of the remaining children of Caleb Wing, Joanna married John Loring and located in Leeds, near where Fred Additon. now lives, but moved to Lewiston, and later to Billerica, Mass .;
Diana, who was well known in earlier life as a successful teacher in town, married Aranda Gilbert, settled at South Leeds
where E. E. Additon now lives. Through this union four children were born : Rollin, Abbie, Lois and Rosa. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert being of an ambitious and enterprising nature, made several successful changes in location, being at Lewiston for some time, successful in business and securing the advantage of an opportunity for the children to acquire an education, which was not to be obtained in the country. Those who knew her best could but feel that her efforts and ambition were rewarded by the peace and comforts with which her declining years were sur- rounded in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rosa V. Hanscom,. of Leeds ;
Ormand T. married Octavia Brewster. To them were born four children ; Orville D., Clara A., Ellen M. and Fred B. They located first at North Greene, then moved to the Ridge and engaged in trade, which he followed in different locations till the time of his death, which occurred in Turner, Me., where he left two sons, as successors to his business. Hiram C. died in youth.
Stephen D., a carpenter by trade, built the houses now owned by E. V. Daly and A. J. Foss, besides assisting on several others ; died at the age of 24 years ; unmarried.
William married Frances A. Bates. To them were born two children-Roswell S. and Alena M., located at South Leeds. where they remained the greater part of their married life, with the exception of a few years in trade in Lewiston, returning to the farm for the declining years of life, and served the public as postmaster at that place.

HISTORY OF LEEDS
ADDITON FAMILY.
From Plymouth, Duxbury, and other towns of the Old Col- ony of Massachusetts the descendants of the early Pilgrims have gone in various directions, carrying with them that unflinching adherence to duty, that regard for law and order, and that faith- ful attention to imposed trusts which were so strong elements in the Pilgrim character, and where they settled they and their descendents have been most useful citizens and formative influ- ences in producing the best civilization. Among the early fam- ilies of Duxbury, Mass., was that of Arddaton (now Additon), which probably came from England prior to 1640. All through the residence in Duxbury the original spelling of the name con- tinued, as Thomas of the Revolution (father of the Thomas born March 2, 1763, who became an early settler of Leeds) used this orthography.
Thomas Additon, the pioneer of the Leeds family, with his wife, Bethiah, born March 17, 1764, made their home on Quaker Ridge between 1785 and 1790, and on this place, long since for- saken, they reared 9 children, namely: Ruby (named from a Duxbury aunt), born in 1786; John, 1788; Otis, 1790; Joseph, 1792; Thomas, 1794; Phebe, 1796; David, 1799; Chloe, 1802; Hulda, 1804.
Thomas Additon, Jr., born June 7, 1794, married Anna daughter of Isaiah Beals. Their children were Isaiah B .; Lovisa ( Mrs. Dr. S. A. Allen) ; Amanda (Mrs. Seth Howard) ; Thomas J .; Loren J .; Everett; Eliza A. (Mrs. J. F. Jennings). Mr. Additon was a farmer, a quiet, unostentatious man of strict probity, valued for his good qualities. He died Feb. 4, 1869, and his wife April 30, 1871, on the place now owned by Elwin E. Additon. Isaiah Beals Additon, son of Thomas and Anna (Beals) Additon, was born Nov. 10, 1823. He was educated in town, taught 26 terms of district school, and won a deserved reputation. He was a farmer on the place settled by his Grand- father Beals, purchased by his father in 1827; consisting of 125 acres of land, and made a specialty of cheese-making. He mar- ried May 5, 1852, Eliza A., daughter of Perez S. and Joanna (Lane) Jennings. Children : Flora L. (died Feb. 15, 1862, aged 9 years; Juliette J. (died Feb. 15, 1862, aged 7 years) ; Orville I .; Lorette (died March 10, 1862, aged 7 months) ; and Fred L. Isaiah B. Additon was always a Democrat, of the minority party in politics; and yet he was elected one of the selectmen 18 years, and in 1859, 1860, 1861, 1870, 1871, 1872, 1873, 1874, 1875, 1876, 1877, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882 and 1883 was chairman of the board.

HISTORY OF LEEDS
Republican district. He was several times candidate for county commissioner, receiving flattering votes. He was United States census agent for Leeds and Greene in 1860; has often been selected for important trusts, and has performed delicate offices with acknowledged ability. He was firm and decided in his opinions, cautious and conservative in thought, tenacious in his convictions, and frank, sincere and honest in declaring them. He was always a Universalist and a liberal supporter of the cause. Genial, hospitable and kind-hearted, he had many friends, among his warmest ones those of opposing politics. He was a very useful citizen. A firm and conscientious official, and opposed anything like extravagance in the administration of town affairs, and by a long and faithful service acquired the esteem and con- fidence of his townsmen. He died July 31, 1894. His three daughters died when quite young. His oldest son, Orville I., born Aug. 31, 1855; graduated at Westbrook Seminary, in 1880. He married Lucy A. Benner. Children : Forest O., Henrietta S. and Flora L. He went to Illinois and was for some time princi- pal of the High School at Cardova ; also taught in other places. At the present time he is doing an extensive and profitable busi- ness manufacturing house furnishings in the state of Georgia. His youngest son, Fred L., born Jan. 28, 1864; married Lenora I., daughter of Francis E. and Eleanor (Pettengill) Howe, and has seven children, as follows: Orville J., Ernest F., Leslie F., Ivan B., Clayton E., Edna, Florus J. He is a Democrat and a Universalist, and lives on the farm left him by his father, but has added largely to the number of acres, until he now has one of the largest and best farms in town; has at present time twenty cows in milk and sends cream to the factory. Mr. Addi- ton is a progressive farmer and adds each year to his herd of cows. Like his father he is interested in public affairs, especially the welfare of his town. In 1898, he was elected on the Board of Selectmen. In 1899, was re-elected to the same position, and in 1900, was elected chairman of the board, which office he now holds. He has won the confidence and esteem of his fellow- townsmen by the interest he has taken in town affairs, and the impartial manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office. He is a Patron of Husbandry and was lecturer of Leeds Grange two years, filling the office to the satisfaction of his brothers and sisters, but declined to serve longer on account of other duties.
Thomas Jefferson Additon, brother of Isaiah B., was born August 20, 1832. He was always a farmer and occupied the homestead of his father. He married Razzilla Smart, born in Parkman, March 13, 1832. Their children are Luetta M. (Mrs. Dr. W. H. Thomas, of Lewiston), Chester J. (deceased), Elwin E., Annie S. (Mrs. T. M. Shaw of Readfield).

HISTORY OF LEEDS
Thomas J. Additon was a kind-hearted man, strictly honest in all his dealings, attending to his own business and doing every- thing in a thorough manner, as his farm and stock would show at any time. He was always interested in the welfare of his town and his fellow-citizens, and at his death, which occurred March 20, 1897, left many warm friends.
Elwin E. Additon, b. in Leeds, Aug. 24, 1864 ; a great-great- grandson of Thomas, of Duxbury, Mass., and great-grandson of Thomas, the pioneer of Leeds; resides on the farm where his grandfather lived and died. At the early age of 17, he was a teacher in his native town, and at 22, was a member of the school board. The following year he was elected Supervisor of Schools which office he held two years; and later, officiated three years in the capacity of Superintendent. Under his supervision the dis- trict system was abolished, adding new and arduous labors which were satisfactorily accomplished. The deep and lasting interest he feels and manifests in the cause of education is worthy of per- petuation. Since 1893, with the exception of one year, he has officiated as moderator in the annual meetings of the town; is now serving his fourth term in the office of constable and collector of taxes ; said to be an efficient man in that capacity, collecting more and having less remaining on his books at the close of each year than any of his recent predecessors. As a member of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, he has given time and attention to the duties of the various offices to which he has been elected therein, scarcely missing a meeting during the three years he held the office of Overseer, and the three years he officiated as Master of the Leeds Grange. He also holds prominent member- ship in Pomona Grange; ably discharging the duties of the office of Lecturer, and is the present overseer of that organization.
