HISTORY OF LEEDS
up until it covered Bishop's farm almost to his door-step. 'Hey,' said the old man, 'they've flowed me out as they would a mus- quash,' and gathering his household effects he made a bee-line to the highest elevation in the town of Leeds. One thing is certain, he was not driven from his strong-hold by the backing up of a mill stream." Another thing may be said, although it was a high elevation it is not the highest in Leeds. The place of his location in Leeds is that where his grandson, George Bishop, now resides, and the year of his removal there was 1783. How long he lived at Swansea or New Meadows we have not as yet learned, but only ten years at most could have elapsed from the time he left Rehoboth until we find him by the stream in North Monmouth. To Zadock and Elizabeth Bishop nine children were born, viz .: Joseph, Welcome, Jesse, Squier, Mary, Lydia, Zadock, James, and Cyrus. Welcome, their second son, was born June 21, 1774. He married Betsey Lindsey and they had one son, James. James was a preacher and he confined himself so closely to his holy work he was called to leave it at an early age.
Jesse, the third son of Zadock and Elizabeth, was born June 12, 1776. He moved to Wayne and married Patience Titus ; his wife died March 3, 1863, and Jesse followed June 23, 1864.

education. When the Civil War broke out he yielded to the patriotic spirit which took possession of so many men of our country and enlisted in Company I of the 23d Maine Volunteers. For nine months he underwent all the privations and hardships of war ; he was made Corporal of his company only a little while before his term of enlistment expired. At the expiration of his term he enlisted again, but yielding to the entreaties of his mother, he got his discharge on the ground that he was still under age. He then returned home but remained only a short time before he went to Lewiston where he worked at several trades. It was here he met Miss Julia Byron, whom he after- ward married in the year 1869. He remained in that city about a year and then obtained employment on what was then the Androscoggin Railroad between Lewiston and Brunswick, and afterward he went from Lewiston to Farmington; served as either engineer, fireman or conductor until the fall of 1873, when he was called home by the death of his father. At the settlement of his father's estate he bought out the several heirs and the homestead was his own. Since then he has labored diligently and has added to it nearly all the farm that formerly belonged to Abial Bishop. For a time he was engaged quite extensively in the cattle business and his was the first carload of cattle that was shipped over the Sandy River Railroad. In later years he engaged in lumbering and as in all other business he has under- taken, was successful in this.
His interest has always been closely connected with that of his native town and for eight successive years served as one of the selectmen, and for three of those years was chairman of the board. He worked continually for the good of the town and after making several much needed repairs and with its business in a flourishing condition, resigned his office.
Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Bishop : Weston H., born July 18, 1873; remains with his father on the farm and has been closely allied with the schools of the town, part of the time as a teacher and afterward as Superintendent and a member of the School Committee : Florrie M., born July 8, 1876; is a grad- uate of Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Farmington Normal School. She is a successful teacher, having taught in her native and neighboring towns; Marion T., born July 19, 1883; is a student at Kent's Hill and a teacher in the schools of Leeds.
Mr. Bishop has always been a man of untiring industry and temperate habits, decided and firm in his convictions ; in business exacting but always honorable, to his town he has been of incal- culable worth ; his career has been an honorable one, a credit to himself, his family and his friends.

HISTORY OF LEEDS
LOTHROP FAMILY.
The founder of the Lothrop family in Littleborough was Mark-the second Lothrop pioneer in this country. He came from England in 1643 and settled in Bridgewater, Mass. He was a proprietor in that town in 1656 and in 1657 took the "Oath of Fidelity." In 1658 he was elected a constable and for twenty- five years was a man of prominence in public life. His sons were Samuel2 and Mark2. Samuel settled and continued his resi- dence in Bridgewater. His son, Samuel3, Jr., was born in that town May 17, 1685, and died in January, 1772. His son, Daniel4, was born in West Bridgewater, May 2, 1721. In 1744 he mar- ried Rhoda, a daughter of Thomas Willis. He was Major in Col. Crafts' Regiment, Dorchester Heights, when Washington took command of the army. He was one of the original members of the First Baptist Church of Bridgewater. In 1811, when 90 years of age, he came from Bridgewater on horseback to visit his son, Daniel,5 Jr., and being so well pleased with the site, remained until his death, which occurred in 1818, at the advanced age of 97.
Col. Daniel Lothrop5, Jr., was born in Bridgewater, Dec. IO, 1745. He married first, Hannah Howard, Aug. 23, 1764, who died in 1771 ; second, Lydia Willis, Sept. 5, 1775; third, Mary Turner, Sept. I, 1785, a sister of William and Josiah who came from Bridgewater and were among the early settlers of Little- borough Plantation. He was a soldier in the War of the Revolu- tion and rose to the rank of Colonel; yet, to him, it was a sacrifice of wealth for honor. He sold his real estate at the time of his enlistment, for which payment was to be made on a later date, and was made, but in Continental money, which was worthless. This financial loss and the death of his second wife, with a family of children to provide and care for, in the fall of 1784 he came to Littleborough, took up the farm now owned by Greenwood C. Gordon and a portion by Wallace Gordon at the south end of Androscoggin Lake, made a cut-down, built a log house and hovel and returned to Bridgewater. In the spring of 1785 he came again, made his burn, planted corn and potatoes, spent the remainder of the season in felling trees and clearing land, in August returned for his family and in September, after marrying Mary Turner, brought them to the wilderness of Leeds, leaving behind one daughter, Hannah, who married Joshua Gilmore and whose son, Col. John Gilmore, came to Leeds and was inany years a prominent resident. When the town was organized Col. Daniel Lothrop was elected on the Board of Selectmen and sub- sequently filled many offices of trust. His children, born in Bridgewater, were: George6, June 13, 1765; Daniel6, March 28, 1767; Thomas6, 1769; Hannah6, 1771; Samuel6, 1777 ; and Sulli- van6, 1778.

Lane), born Jan. 11, 1861 ; Frank B., born July, 1863, and Sarah Clyde, born Aug. 6, 1879. Mr. Lothrop resides on the old home- stead-a valuable and well cultivated farm. He has contributed much to the advancement of the town by securing the establish- ment of various industries therein. He has represented his dis- trict in the State Legislature and is especially interested in the Universalist church, of which he is Superintendent of the Sab- bath School.
Hon. Leavitt™, the second son of George6 and Polly (Thayer) Lothrop, was born in Vassalborough, Me., May 19, 1793. In 1816 he married Betsey, a daughter of Elias and Mary (Law- rence) Lane. He settled in Leeds and in 1826 moved to the farm now occupied by his son, Davis Francis Lothrop, and there resided until his death, which occurred April 17, 1849. His widow died in Auburn, Jan. 12, 1878. Mr. Lothrop was an energetic man of business, and in all activities of the community worked diligently and well. He was nominally a farmer and carried on agriculture extensively and profitably, owning, at the time of his death, 800 acres of land in Leeds, 200 in Canton, 100 in Greene and 50 in Hallowell. He was deeply interested in all enterprises that gave promise of benefit to the people, and his personal services were freely given to their development and improvement. He took an active part in the establishment of the Androscoggin and Kenne- bec Railroad and assisted in procuring the charter of the Leeds and Farmington Railroad, subscribing $1000 to its stock. In both civil and political life, his good common sense, sound judg- ment and honesty of purpose, rendered his presence in public positions valuable to his constituents and the community. He represented the classed towns of which Leeds was one, in the State Legislature. In 1841 he commenced a three-years' term on the board of county commissioners of Kennebec county, and in 1846-7 was a Senator from that county. He was also prominent in the State militia, serving in successive grades to that of Colonel, by which title he was generally known. In the war of 1812 he was for a time engaged on the lower Kennebec in the construction of fortifications, etc. In these and numerous other places of responsibility, such was his wise sagacity, pleasing urbanity and thoughtful consideration, that his associates in councils and labors became lasting friends. He was a Baptist in religion and liberal in sustaining Christian institutions. In the home circle he was kind and affectionate. His children were: Elias Lane, b. Nov. 19, 1817; Davis Francis, b. Sept. 11, 1820; Warren Lane, b. July 5, 1823; Caroline Elizabeth, b. Oct. 17, 1825, and Mary Jane, b. July 12, 1833.

Ralph is unmarried and remains on the old homestead, which has been given into his care. He is an active, energetic man of business, and many kindly acts of assist- ance to those needing financial aid attest his worth in the commu- nity in which he resides and moves.
Hon. Davis Francis Lothrop, as stated of his brother Elias, went to California in 1849, where he remained nearly three years, returning to Maine once during the time. He was one of "The Old Forty-Niners." He was financially successful but his energy or ambition was not blunted thereby and his later life, devoted to farming, has been one of success and profit. He is a member of the Baptist church, a liberal supporter of all enter- prises tending to the betterment of the community, and a highly respected citizen. At the age of 80 years few men are so well preserved, so active, so interested in public affairs, so well
