LINCOLN FAMILY.


Rufus Lincoln came from Bridgewater to Leeds and settled north of Lothrop's Corner, on the Ridge Road. He is said to have been a distant relative of Abraham, whose early occupation was rail-splitting, and who later became better known as Presi- dent of the United States. In one particular did they resemble each other-in witty sayings. He was a moulder by trade, at which he worked in early life in Bridgewater. He came to Leeds later than many families and knew less about farming until he learned it in this town. In later years he removed to the north- eastern part of Leeds to a little hill easterly of North Leeds rail- road station, which still bears the name of Lincoln Hill. He reared a family there, most of whom went to Massachusetts, while one, Salome, m. Micajah Dunham; settled in Vassalboro ; no issue; another, Hannah, m. Ebenezer Stinchfield; settled in

HISTORY OF LEEDS


CARVER FAMILY.


In 1779, two families, those of Deacon Elijah Livermore and Major Fish, settled near the central part of what is now the town of Livermore, Me. The next year, Mrs. William Carver and two other families, whose names were Josiah Wyer and Elisha Smith, settled near them. A claim has been made, that this Carver family is the same from whom the Leeds Carvers trace their descent. This may arise from the fact that nearly one-third part of the land now contained within the boundary lines of Leeds was formerly a portion of Livermore; and further, that the old Carver homestead of the Leeds family, the farm now occupied by Chessman D. Gould is in that part of the town that formerly was a portion of Livermore. In Bridge- water, Mass., a family who bore the name resided in the year 1774; a member of whom, Eunice, married in that year, Joseph Knapp, Jr., who removed to what is now Leeds in the year 1791, and settled on the farm now owned by the town. Other known members of that family were, the mother, whose maiden name was Edison, a daughter Ursola, who spent a single life, and a son, Elezer, who was a Baptist minister. Tradition says, that the daughter and son, with their mother, removed to Woodstock, Vt. The son having m. Nancy Jones Sept. 16, 1787, to whom several children were born, in the year 1800, they all removed to Leeds, where they settled on the aforementioned farm of C. D. Gould, and thus became neighbors of Eunice and her family. Few of the early settlers were burdened with wealth, and this family was of the many. From Hallowell, to which place they came in a packet, their entire belongings were conveyed to Leeds in a hand cart. The children of Elezer and Nancy (Jones) Carver were William, b. Dec. 16, 1787 ; Elezer, b. April 26, 1790; Nancy, b. July 31, 1791 ; John, b. March 26, 1794; Betsey, b. Aug. 3, 1796 : Caleb, b. June 7, 1800; Abigail, b. Aug. 18, 1802; Ursula, b. Feb. 27, 1805 ; Mary, b. Feb: 13, 1808.


I. William, m. Jane Smith; settled on the east bank of Dead River in Leeds, nearly opposite the town farm buildings; had a family of children, namely: Chandler, Annie, Allura, William ; m. second, ; and had one child, Elezer ; later removed to Milo, Me., where he died ;


2. Elezer, m. Hannah Stinchfield April 7, 1816, who was b. in Leeds, Dec. 4, 1793. They settled a short distance north- erly of his brother William, where they afterward lived and died, Elezer Dec. 4, 1856, and his widow, Jan. 18, 1872. Their place of burial is in the Robert Gould Cem- etery at North Leeds. They had issue Betsey, b. Nov. 8, 1816; Jason, b. April 13, 1818; Mary A., b. Aug. 27, 1819; Thomas S., b. March 29, 1821;

WOODMAN FAMILY.


The progenitor of the Leeds branch of the Woodman family was Edward1, who, it is said, came from Southamp- ton in the ship James, of London, in the year 1635, and settled in the town of Newbury, Mass., or at least, such is the account of his brother Archelaus, who came at same time and settled in the same place. ( Mass. Historical Society, Vol. VII., page 319.) His wife, Joanna, accompanied him to the New World. He is said to have been born in Corsham, a village in Wiltshire, within a few miles of Christian Malford. Of the 91 grantees who settled Newbury, Mass., 15 were entitled to appellation of "Mr." One of these 15 was Edward Woodman. He was a man of influence, decision and energy, and had the zeal and courage to

.defend his own conviction in both Church and State. Mr. Woodman early entered the official arena soon after his arrival in Newbury, for in 1636, '37, '39 and '43 he was a deputy to the General Court, and in 1638, '41, '45 and '46 he was one of three commissioners to end small causes in Newbury, and at various times held other offices of profit and trust in the town and State. Both he and his wife were living in 1687, but his death occurred prior to 1694, at which date his will was entered for probate. The date of his birth is unknown to the writer.


His children were:


I. Edward2, b. - , 1628; m. Mary Goodridge, Dec. 20, 1653.


2. John2, b. - , 1630; m. Mary Field, July 15, 1656; both b. previous to coming to this country ;

Joshua2, the third child of Edward1, was, as per his grave- .stone inscription, the first man child born in Newbury. He took the oath of allegiance in 1678. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Capt. John Stevens, one of the first settlers of Andover, Mass., Jan. 23, 1665. He lived first in Andover and later in Newbury. The inscription on his tombstone is as fol- lows: "Here lies ye body of Mr. Joshua Woodman, who died May ye 3th 1703, aged 67 years ; first man child borne in New- bury, & second inturid in this place."


Their children were:

Of the above, Benjamin was born in Andover, July 27, 1683. He married, March 1, 17II, Elizabeth Longfellow, who was born July 3, 1688. Her father was William Longfellow, the only one of the name who came to America, and who was born in Hampshire, Eng., in 1651. "He was a man of talents and education, wrote an elegant hand, but was not so much of a Puritan as some others. He married Annie Sewall, sister of Judge Samuel Sewall and dau. of old Henry Sewall. He enlisted as an Ensign in the ill-fated expedition to Canada, and was drowned at Anticosti in Oct., 1690, when his dau., Eliz- abeth was a little over two years old."

They settled on the place to which he came with his parents when a young man, and where he spent his remaining years and died Sept. 4, 1864. He was a military man-Captain of a militia company.

In early life Mr. Woodman was a teacher. He later officiated on the municipal and school boards of his native town, in which capacity he did honest, able and conscientious work. He held the positions of railroad station and express agent at North Leeds for a term of years. His connection with his brother in mercantile life at North Leeds was of long duration; after which, he returned to the old homestead farm where he has since made his residence until a very recent date, when he sold the place to a younger brother, and now is with his nieces at North Leeds, where he spent so many years in business.

When a young man, Mr. Woodman spent several years in Boston, where he was employed in omnibus work. He was married in that city and soon returned to his native town where he and his brother Henry built and opened a store. They also bought a tract of land near there, built a house, stable and barn, and combined farming with trade. The post-office at that place was later added to their business, and in connection with occa- sional purchases and sales of fine horses of which they were good judges, they gained a goodly amount of property.
