HISTORY OF LEEDS
varied character. It seems a pity that they were never fully chronicled. Apparently he lived quietly at home up to the time of his enlistment in the Continental Army on May 3, 1775. He was then nearly 38 years old.
The company to which he belonged was in the battle of Bunker Hill. On the way to the battle the company was divided, one part marching under the captain, and the other under the lieutenant. He was with the lieutenant, and when they reached the scene of battle the Americans had begun the retreat from the rail fence. The siege of Boston over, he went with the army of Washington and remained until after the battle of Trenton as one of the soldiers who remained after the time of their enlistment had expired.
He then returned to Gloucester, and in April he shipped for a year on board the Hancock, a Continental ship of 32 guns under the command of Capt. John Manley. Sailing from Boston in May, 1777, they cruised off Newfoundland and there they cap- tured two prizes, a merchant vessel and the sloop of war Fox. But in August he was captured by the British war ship Rainbow, and was impressed into service with her crew. At Halifax, however, on Christmas day, he, with two companions, managed to escape ; they jumped overboard and swam three miles to shore. He then made his way to Liverpool, N. S. Here he shipped on the sloop Bermuda, for Antigua, and from that island to. St Eustasia.
In May, 1778, he shipped on a Dutch schooner for North Carolina, but in the same month was captured by a British ship and taken to New York. Here he was held a prisoner until the next September, when he was taken to Elizabethtown, N. J., to be exchanged.
Sixteen months had passed since his family had heard from him. In the meantime his wife and four children had gone to New Gloucester, Me., to live with her brother, William Parsons. Thither he went to join them, and it is said that afterwards for a short time he again served in the patriot army.
Thomas Millet never returned to Massachusetts to live, and when the war was over he settled in Leeds, then in the heart of the wilderness, inhabited by only three other families when he went to live there. Here in 1781 he built a log house and lived for the rest of his life. He was 81 years old when, in 1813, he applied for a pension. This was granted and he enjoyed it through the remainder of his long life. The youngest son, Benjamin, always lived at the homestead, but as the other children grew up they all settled on places near by, in clearings from the wilderness. In 1820 he was living with Benjamin and had a lease of 75 acres of land. But he was then too feeble to do any work, or even to dress himself without assistance. Three

years later, in 1823, he died, about 91 years old. His wife, Eunice, was the twelfth child of Thomas Parsons, Jr., of Gloucester. In the absence of a family record the dates of their death are unknown.
That Thomas Millet had a high sense of patriotic duty is evi- dent not only from the fact of his enlistment, leaving a wife and four children at home, but from his remaining to fight at Tren- ton after his term of service had expired, followed by his shipping to serve at sea. His courage and his physical vigor are also attested by his plunge for liberty into the icy December waters of Halifax harbor to swim three miles to shore.
Following is a list of their children:
BORN IN GLOUCESTER, MASS.
Eunice, b. Sept. 23, 1764, d. Dec. 24, 1852.
Thomas, b. 1769, d. Aug. 26, 1834. Zebulon Parsons, b. Oct. 9, 1773, d. Oct. 1, 1856. John, b. Feb. 2, 1776, d. Dec. 21, 1862.
BORN IN NEW GLOUCESTER, ME.
Benjamin, b. 1780, d.
Betsey, b. 1783, d. Nov. 2, 1853.
From these children of Thomas Millet came the Millets of Leeds. All of them lived well into the nineteenth century, and their numerous descendants are now widely scattered throughout the United States. Eunice married the Rev. Thomas Francis, the first minister of Leeds, a man of remarkable character, whose story is told elsewhere in this volume.
Thomas Millet married Matilda Knapp of Leeds, a sister of Joseph Knapp. Who their father was does not appear, his name not having been recorded. Having no children of their own, they adopted two of the nephews of Thomas, John and Samuel Francis, sons of the minister, and left them their property.
Zebulon Parsons Millet, the third child, married Deliverance Rich of Sandwich, Mass., on April 6, 1797. The Cape Cod town was the parent of New Sandwich, now Wayne, Me., and the relations between the two sections thus established doubtless led to this union. Zebulon and his brother John were in the Leeds militia, called out for coast guard duty in the War of 1812, and it is recorded that for this service they each received a land warrant in later days. The children of Zebulon and Deliverance were Solomon (1798), Parsons (1798), Thomas (1801), Lydia (1803), Obadiah (1805), Isabella (1807), Aaron (1809), Francis Davis (18II), Asa (1813), Polly Francis (1815), Lydia

(1818), Adelia (1822). Of these children Solomon married PhoĊbe Gould, of Wayne, and lived the greater part of his life in Leeds. Their ten children were born there, but later the family moved to East Bridgewater, Mass., Solomon dying there in 1880. Thomas married Almira A. Day, of Baring, Me., where the first of their twelve children was born; the next two were born in Leeds, and the others in Palmyra, where the mother died. The father then married Fannie Gordon, of St. Albans, Me., who became the mother of six children. Thomas died in Palmyra in 1874. Obadiah Millet remained in Leeds, marrying Eliza Safford, of Turner. They had two children, Lydia and Charles Holmes.
Isabella married Eben Cobb, of Livermore, where their four children were born. Aaron moved to West Bridgewater, Mass., where he married Myra Holmes. They had nine children. Francis Davis remained in Leeds. In 1835 he married Elathear True, who died in 1841. In 1852 he married Lucina Phillips. Their only child was Elathear True, who in 1880 became the wife of Lot Howard. Francis Davis Millet, or Davis, as he was commonly called, was of a genial, upright nature, and was uni- versally respected through his long and useful life. The ties between him and his younger brother were uncommonly strong. This brother, Asa, moved to Plymouth County, Mass., and there became eminent as a physician. In the Civil War he was a sur- geon with the Union army and was a member of Governor Andrew's council. He devoted years of research to the prepara- tion of a Millet genealogy, which was nearly completed at the time of his death in 1893. To the manuscript of this interesting and important work the writer of this chapter is mainly indebted for his facts. His eldest son, Francis Davis Millet, who was born at Mattapoisett, Mass., after serving with the Union army as drummer boy in the Civil War, was graduated at Harvard Uni- versity. He then devoted himself to art, studying in Europe and becoming celebrated as a painter. At the Columbian World's Fair at Chicago, in 1893, he had charge of the decorative features and was director of festivities, originating the scheme of treat- ment that gave rise to the name "The White City." He devised also the scheme of mural decoration for the exhibition buildings that gave such an impetus to the art of mural painting for public buildings of this country. In literature and journalism he also became celebrated; he has written several books and numerous magazine articles-fiction, travel, etc .- and was a notable war correspondent with the Russian army in the Russo-Turkish war, and twenty years afterwards with the American army in the Manila campaign. The second son of Dr. Millet, Josiah Byram, is a prominent Boston publisher. The youngest son, Charles Sumner, following his father's footsteps as a physician, has

gained a name for his successful treatment of consumption, and has recently converted the family homestead at East Bridge- water, Mass., into a model sanitorium for the treatment of tuber- culous patients, naming it "The Asa Millet Sanitorium," in honor of his father.
John Millet, the last of the Gloucester-born children of Thomas, married Sally George, whose father, Francis George, of Taunton, Mass., probably moved to Maine soon after the Revo- lution, in which he served with the Continental army. They were married in 1799. Their ten children were all born in Leeds. The oldest of these children, Joshua, born in 1803, was a promi- nent Maine divine. He entered Waterville College, and later went to the Newton Theological Institute, Mass., where he was graduated in 1835. The next year he became pastor of the Bap- tist church at Charlestown, Me .; in 1838 he took charge of the Baptist Society at Cherryfield, and in 1844 was called to Wayne, where he lived until his death on March 10, 1848. While at Wayne he wrote the notable contribution to Maine history, "A History of the Baptists in Maine." His grave is at his birthplace in Leeds. He married Sophronia Howard of West Bridgewater, Mass. They had several children. Sophronia, the eldest, died in 1859. Their son, Joshua Howard, was educated at Waterville College and is a lawyer in Boston, Mass. George Lewis, their youngest child, served in the Civil War and died of typhoid fever in January, 1865, while in the service.
The other children of John Millet were Seth (1805), John (1807), Ozias (1809), Catherine (18II), Polly (1813), Francis G. (1816), Betsey (1818), Sarah (1821), Amanda M. (1824). Not any of these are now living. Of the children, all except Seth left their native town and found homes elsewhere, many of them in Massachusetts. Seth, who remained in Leeds, lived the greater part of his life on a farm near the railroad on the road leading to Wayne, not far from his father's. There he reared a large family of children, Elmira, Matilda, Warren L., Joseph C., John R., William R., Lucy A., Eliza A., and Ella C. Those now living are widely separated and only one remains in Leeds.
Seth Millet was an industrious and respected citizen. He often held offices of trust, both in the town and in the church, of which he was a devoted member. He died in 1879.
John went to West Bridgewater, Mass., where he married Elizabeth Holmes and afterwards lived, except a short time when he resided at Leeds on his father's farm. They had three children one of whom, the youngest, was born in Leeds.
Ozias was a graduate of Waterville College and for several years thereafter was the principal of Hebron Academy. Resign- ing his position he returned to Leeds and took up his residence on his father's farm in which he became interested. While there he

became one of the projectors of the railroad from Bath to Farm- ington, now a part of the Maine Central Railroad, and becoming a civil engineer was active in promoting and building it. While thus engaged he removed from Leeds and did not return to live. Later he became interested in mining and with his family went to Colorado, where he died, leaving a widow, a daughter, and a son. The latter, James O., was born in Leeds.
Catherine married Rev. Wilson C. Ryder, A.M., then pastor of the Baptist Church in Leeds. In 1840-I on account of ill health he resigned his pastorate and moved to Middleboro, Mass., his native town. They had four children of whom Wilson Clark- son, the eldest, was born in Leeds.
Francis G. married Sarah Noyes, of South Abington, Mass., where he lived. They had two children, one of whom, a son, is now living.
Betsey married Atwood B. Bumpus, of Hebron. Their only child is now the wife of Rev. Fred Hovey Allen, of Boston. Sarah married Nehemiah B. Bicknell, of Boston. They had one child. Amanda M. married Hiram Curtis, of Boston. There were no children.
Benjamin Millet, the youngest son of Thomas, and the first child of his parents born in Maine, married Cynthia Dyer, of West Bridgewater. Mass. Their four children were all born in Leeds.
Betsey Millet, the other Maine-born child of Thomas, mar- ried Levi Foss, to whom she bore ten children.
All told, the grandchildren of Thomas Millet numbered 52. Only a few descendants bearing the family name now live in Leeds. One of these, Herbert Millet, has his home on the old farm.
Francis Davis Millette (Zebulon P.5, Thomas4, John3, Thomas2, Thomas1) was born in Leeds, Oct. 1, 18II. He was one of nine children of Zebulon P. and his wife, Deliverance (Rich) Millett. He was a life-long resident on the farm taken up by his father over a century ago. He was educated in the common schools of Leeds, to which he added a life of study and practical knowledge. He succeeded to the homestead and devoted himself to its cultivation and improvement. He erected thereon a modern, convenient, and imposing set of buildings nearly oppo- site those of his childhood. Mr. Millett was twice married. His first wife was Elethea, a daughter of Benjamin True, to whom he was married in December, 1835. She died in June, 1841. In 1852 he married Lucina, born in Turner Jan. 9, 1819, a daughter of Otis and Lydia (Staples) Phillips, of Auburn. Their daughter and only child, Ella T., born in Leeds Aug. 6, 1853, married Lot, a son of Luther L. Howard3, of Leeds, May

10, 1880. They have a son, an only child, Francis Davis Millett Howard, born Feb. 13, 1891. Mr. and Mrs. Howard succeeded to the home of Mr. Millett where they continue their residence. Mr. Millett joined the Free Will Baptist Church in 1864, and from 1866 to the time of his death was one of its deacons. He was a liberal and generous contributor to various religious and educational interests of the town. His worth was recognized by his townsmen, whose services they sought on their board of municipal officers, which position he filled with ability. He was unassuming, genial, kind in his manner, and had the esteem and respect of his townsmen. He died December 28, 1893, and his widow Oct. 31, 1900.
DANIEL LANE AND FAMILY.
The Lane family is among the oldest in town, being fifth in the order of settlement. The head of the first family who bore the name was Daniel. He is introduced as a resident of Gloucester, Mass., where he married Mary - - about 1764, and where several of his children were born. Many of the early settlers of Leeds were natives of that old town which has ever been noted for the intelligence of its inhabitants, who sprang from noble English families. They first moved to New Glouces- ter, which was ceded to that colony in 1735, thence to Little- borough. Most of them had been in active service in the Rev- olutionary War. Daniel Lane was one of them. He was taken prisoner and detained in Dartmoor Prison nearly two years. In his absence, his wife and children with relatives, removed to New Gloucester, and after his release he joined them there, and in 1782 came to Leeds and settled near the center of the town. They had six sons and three daughters, to wit: Daniel, James, Giddings, Elias, Peter, Samuel, Mary, Judith, and Lydia. The sons all settled on adjoining farms west of the south end of Androscoggin Lake except one, Elias, who in 1790, located on the place now occupied by his grandson, Davis F. Lothrop.
