He pur- chased of Samuel Livermore, May 13, 1794, a lot of land in Livermore, bounded on the south by lot 53; easterly by Long Pond; northerly by the "Last Division;" westerly by Round Pond and land of Amos Livermore. The grantor reserved the right to build a dam at the outlet of Round Pond and also all flowage by reason of his mill at the outlet of Long Pond and the right to cut pine timber that he needed for his buildings. At that time the farm buildings were very near the south line of the lot and on the east side of the road as now traveled. The ancestors of Ephraim came from England in 1630 and the records of the Genealogical Society of Boston, show that the family motto was "Imitate not those who are envious." Children :

CHASE
In 1629 William, Thomas and Aquilla Chase came to this country from England. In 1639 Thomas settled in Hamp- ton, N. H. The descendants of Thomas Chase, who m. Eliz- abeth Philbrick, are in this order, viz .: Isaac, m. Mary Til- ton ; Thomas, m. Jean Smith ; Thomas, m. Elizabeth Athern; Samuel.
CHASE, SAMUEL.
B. 1734; d. 1801; m. Jedidah Claghorn, d. 1807. They, with their children came from Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard, Mass., to Livermore in 1790, and bought of Zebedee Delano the farm midway between Loney Corner and Gibbs Mills on the easterly side of Long Pond, where they built the house, since burned, and at that time owned by the town as a home for its poor. They are buried in the old Fuller yard without a stone to indicate their graves.
Children: (2d Gen.) Thomas, b. 1755. Betsey, b. 1761; d. 1840; m. Ward Tilton. Sarson, b. 1762; Olive, b. 1766; m. James Norton. Tristram, b. 1768. Prudence, b. 1776; m. Apollus Jones.
CHASE, THOMAS. Of these :
B. 1755; d. 1844; m. Desire Luce, b. 1756; d. 1851. They lived and died on the old place; it is very probable that he cleared the most of the land and built the house, as his father at that time was well advanced in years. He was in the War of the Revolution and served on board a privateer which was captured on the coast of England, and he spent 23 months as a prisoner, when he was exchanged and sent to France, where he enlisted and served on the ship "Alliance" that was afterwards commanded by John Paul Jones. Mr. Chase was small in stature, while his wife was equally large, and when they rode on horseback she occupied the saddle and he the pillion. In the latter part of his life he broke his arm and afterwards always wore a tin cylinder to strengthen the fracture.

At this time, 1790, there was a road run- ning from Abijah Childs' southeasterly, toward the south end of and around Long Pond, past the pound, to Gibbs Mills. On the westerly side of the pond and on this road, the brothers built their houses and lived, Sarson owning the west half and Tristram the east part of the lot until 1795, when the road leading over Waters Hill being located, Sar- son abandoned his first "pitch," and built the buildings where I. W. Fuller and afterwards his son, Elisha C., lived. It was while living in the first mentioned house that his first wife died and according to the custom of those days she was buried on the farm. In 1880, E. C. Fuller, wishing to improve the land where she was buried, obtained permission of the proper authorities to remove the remains to the Fuller yard. Upon digging down, the outline of the coffin with the excep- tion of the cover, could be plainly distinguished, but not a vestige of any remains could be found in the soft, mouldy earth that filled the casket.

CLARK, CUTTING.
M. Lucy Carver and was one of the pioneers of this town, making his pitch on the farm now owned by W. H. Bickford. His house stood opposite and across the road from the present one. He was the foremost hunter of the town in his day, having slain more bears and told the big- gest stories, of any man whose reputation has been handed down to us by tradition. He was the son of Capt. John Clark of Newton, Mass., who married Hannah Cutting, and their daughter, Hannah, b. 1740, m. Dea. Elijah Livermore.

B. 1776; d. 1870; m. Abigail Kincaid, b. 1782; d. 1853. He lived on what is known as the Atwood farm, the same being now owned by F. D. Merrill. I well remember Mr. Coffin as going about with a wooden leg, having suffered the loss of one by amputation in early life. The circumstances as related to me by his son, Warren, are as follows: He was at the raising of the barn frame now owned by Cyrus Rose, and was walking on one of the upper timbers, dragging a rafter, one end of which, striking some obstacle, caused him to lose his balance, when he fell, breaking his leg below his knee in such a manner that the bones protruded through the flesh and actually penetrated the ground. A rider was immediately sent to Winthrop for Dr. Small, and upon his arrival, having no saw with which to saw the bones,
93
HISTORY OF LIVERMORE
Warren was sent to the nearest neighbor, John Gibbs, for a stiff-backed saw, and without stimulant of any kind, after many hours of intense pain, quietly and without any visible signs of emotion, submitted to the amputation of his leg with instruments never intended to be used on anything more precious than common wood. Cyrus Rose told me that the actual spot penetrated in the ground by the broken bone was marked with a circle of stones and that it was under the barn where his cattle stood.

CAMPBELL, JOHN. (2d Gen.)
B. 1813; d. -; m. Mahalia Hewitt. Mr. Campbell told me that he well remembered when there were only five houses and a store between the bridges at Brettun's Mills. His father lived in a little, unpainted house where Col. Lee Strickland lived; William H. Brettun where Mrs. Olive Mil- lett lives; the other three were the Frank Francis house; the Samuel F. Perley house and the "bat-house," that stood near where the band stand is located. The store stood on the same spot where W. F. Fuller now trades. There was also a fulling mill at the upper dam, driven by an overshot wheel, under which he was nearly drowned. The pro- prietor used to give him one cent apiece for every mouse he caught in the mill. He saw his brother, Ebenezer, drown under the upper bridge at the outlet of the pond.
