GOV. JOHN FREMONT HILL.
John Fremont Hill, M.D., Governor of Maine, born in Eliot, October 29, 1855, was the son of William and Miriam ( Leighton) Hill. His ancestors on both sides have been distinguished men in their day, and the public spirit and interest in the affairs of state which characterize the subject of this sketch seems to be hereditary. Dr. Hill's father, William Hill of Eliot, was in the sixth generation of direct descent from John Hill of Dover, who was born in England in 1624.
Governor Hill's mother was Miriam Leighton, eldest daughter of Andrew Pepperrell Leighton of Eliot, who several times rep- resented his district in the State Legislature, and was State sen- ator for a number of years. Sarah Catherine Odiorne, grand- mother of Governor Hill, was a descendant of Capt. John Mason, the original grantee of the Province of New Hampshire.
He was educated in the public schools, South Berwick ( Maine) Academy, and the Putnam School in Newburyport, Massachusetts ; studied medicine and graduated at the Maine Medical School, Brunswick, completing his studies in his profes- sion at the Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, New York. After leaving college, Dr. Hill practiced medicine for about a year in Boothbay Harbor, but very soon decided to devote his attention to a business career.
In 1879, he came to Augusta and went into business with Hon. P. O. Vickery, and soon after became his partner, under the firm name of Vickery & Hill. This firm, now a corporation-The
262
OLD KITTERY
Vickery & Hill Publishing Company-is one of the largest pub- lishing houses in the business, with branch offices in Boston, New York and Chicago. Within a short time a substantial fire-proof building, with all modern improvements, has been erected, con- nected with the former establishment, in order to accommodate the constantly increasing business of the Company.
Governor Hill has taken an active part in the politics of his native State, having always been identified with the Republican party. In 1889 he was elected Representative from Augusta to the Maine Legislature, and served on the Committees of Banks and Banking, and of Railroads, Telegraphs and Expresses. In 1891 he was again elected Representative, and served as Chairman of the House Committee on Railroads. In August, 1892, he was nominated by acclamation as senator from Kennebec County, and sat in the Legislatures of 1893 and 1895 in that capacity, being Chairman of the important Railroad Committee both terms. He was a Presidential elector in 1896, and a member of Gov- ernor Powers' Council during the years 1899 and 1900.
At the September election of 1900, Dr. Hill was elected Gov- ernor of Maine, by one of the largest majorities ever given in the history of the State. He was inaugurated in January, 1901, delivering an able and business-like address to the Legislature. The manner in which he is a'lministering the duties of his office proves that the State is extremely fortunate in the choice of its Chief Executive.
Governor Hill has been interested in electric railroad develop- ment in Maine for some time, being a leading promoter of the Augusta. Hallowell & Gardiner Electric Railroad, which within the past year has extended its line to Togus, the location of the Eastern Branch of the National Home for Disabled Soldiers, and it is proposed to still further extend it to connect with the Rock- land. Thomaston & Camden Street Railway, in which Governor Hill is likewise interested.
In addition to these roads, he is identified with a large electric railway and lighting property in Indiana, as well as with the Quincy Gas and Electric Company. the Decatur Gas and Electric Company, and the Peoria Gas and Electric Company, all located in Illinois. A syndicate, of which Dr. Hill is a prominent mem- ber. has within a few months purchased a controlling interest in
263

the Somerset Steam Railway, operating in Somerset County, Me. He also is a stockholder in various companies, including the Rockland-Rockport Lime Company, of Rockland, Me., and is a leading owner in the Augusta Real Estate Association, in which

the titles of several hotels, valuable business blocks and numerous dwelling-houses are vested.
A business man of large interests, he is naturally prominently associated with the banks of the capital city, being President of the Augusta National Bank : a trustee of the Kennebec Savings Bank : and trustee of the Augusta Trust Company.

In religious views, Governor Hill is a Universalist, being a member and generous supporter of that society. He belongs to several social clubs. among them being the Abnaki Club of Augusta, Me .: the St. Louis Club, and the St. Louis Country Club, St. Louis, Mo. He is a Mason, a member of Augusta Lodge and Cushnoc Chapter, Trinity Commandery and Kora Temple Shrine. He also belongs to the Society of Colonial Wars. is Vice-President of the Pepperrell Society, composed of descendants of the famous family by that name ; is a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants and the Maine Historical Society.
May 19. 1880. Dr. Hill was married to Lizzie G. Vickery, daughter of his partner. Hon. P. O. Vickery; their only child, Percy, was born March 16, 1881. He is now a student at Prince- ton, of the Class of 1905. Mrs. Hill died April 10, 1893. The Doctor was again married in St. Louis, April 25, 1897. to Mrs. Laura Liggett, widow of Hiram S. Liggett and daughter of Hon. Norman Colman, who was Secretary of Agriculture in the first cabinet of President Cleveland.
At present. Governor Hill and family reside in the Blaine Mansion, on State Street, in Augusta, which was for many years the home of the illustrious statesman, Hon. James G. Blaine. The Governor and wife are royal entertainers and have given many receptions and social events in this house. which have been characterized by their elegant appointments. On the same street, a short distance from the Blaine house, upon a lot recently pur- chased at great expense and occupying nearly a square in the center of the residential portion of the city. Governor Hill is hav- ing erected for his occupancy a handsome and commodious resi- dence, of St. Louis brick, with trimmings of Maine granite, which, when completed, will be one of the finest in New England.
Governor Hill has always been deeply interested in the history of his native town and the genealogy of its old families. It is largely due to his encouragement and financial assistance that this book has been written and published.

MOSES A. SAFFORD, ESO.
It is a pleasure to the writer to present the face of Moses A. Safford. Esq., and to say a few words about the man who has contributed so much assistance to the production of this history of his native town. He was born 28 Sept. 1833, son of Edward
MOSES A. SAFFORD, ESQ.
D. and Mary R. ( Lewis) Safford and grandson of Rev. Moses Safford, founder and pastor of the First Christian Church in Kittery.
He received his education in the public schools of Kittery and at the Institute located at New Hampton. N. H. After finishing
266
OLD KITTERY
his course of study there he read law with Stillman B. Allen of Kittery and was admitted to the bar in 1861. On the breaking out of the Civil War he laid aside the work of his profession for a while in order to answer the call of the government for men and, 27 Nov. 1861, entered the United States naval service. Receiving his discharge in 1865, he returned to the practice of law.
He was Registrar of Probate from 1877 to 1885 and has filled many offices of public trust, having served his town as selectman, town agent and superintendent of schools. As chairman of the Building Committee of the Rice Public Library he devoted four years in the effort to obtain a building worthy of the donor of the fund and suited to the needs of the people. This work he justly regards as one of the most important and useful services that he has rendered to his fellow-citizens.
Mr. Safford has always shown a deep interest in local and colonial history and has contributed several important articles to the Proceedings of the Maine Historical Society, of which he is a member. In the historical traditions of Kittery and vicinity he is an authority, and my walks and talks with him have been delightful and instructive.
Mr. Safford is a member of Naval Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and commander of Edward G. Parker Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. As a gentleman of culture and a friend to every good cause he is all the time exercising a quiet influence to uplift his community in education and good morals. For his family see genealogical notes.
HON. HORACE MITCHELL.
Horace Mitchell was born in Kittery, 3 March 1857. son of Reuben and Hannah ( Sayward ) Mitchell. His ancestors were among the first settlers of the town, and the family name is widely known throughout New England. He received his edu- cation in the public schools of Kittery and in New Hampton Lit- crary Institute and Business College. He then engaged in teach- ing and taught thirty-four terms, thirty-three of them being in Kittery and one in York. Having served as clerk in the Mar- shall House at York, and in the Wentworth at Newcastle, his
267

attention was turned to the hotel business. For five summers he conducted the Pocahontas on Gerrish Island, and in 1890 he erected the Champernowne at Warehouse Point. See page 58.
HON. HORACE MITCHELL.
Mr. Mitchell has always been a Republican in politics and an able leader of the party in his district. Ile represented Kittery in the House in 1801. and Kittery and Eliot in 1893. He was nominated for State senator by acclamation in 1895 and was elected, serving two years. In 1896 the Governor of Maine appointed him a commissioner to examine the State Treasurer's accounts and in 1897 he served as chairman of the same commis-
268
OLD KITTERY
sion. He was Postmaster at the Point during President Harrison's administration and has held the same office since 1897. He has been president of the school board two years and superintendent of schools in 1898-9. In Masonry he has always been interested, being a member of Naval Lodge, Kittery, of Unity Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, South Berwick, and of Bradford Command- ery of Biddeford. At present he is Grand Senior Deacon of the Grand Lodge of Maine, Past Master of the Naval Lodge, Past Grand of Riverside Lo lge. He is Past Patriarch of Dirigo Encampment, Independent Order of Odd Fellows: Past Chan- cellor of the Knights of Pythias ; and the first Grand Commander and Grand Keeper of the Records of the Golden Cross of the State of Maine. All these offices do not prevent him from doing a great amount of business and taking an active interest in all that pertains to the welfare of his native town. He purchased and succeeded to the business of Frank E. Rowell, attorney, in 1901. For family see genealogy of the Mitchells on another page.

GENEALOGICAL NOTES.
The aim has been to give the genealogy of the old families down to a date where those now living can by aid of private records easily connect their lineage. To this end the first four or five generations seemed to be necessary. In cases where genealo- gies of certain families have been published I have given a few generations only, with corrections and additions that may be of service. In many cases I have been assisted by persons who have devoted years of study to their family history. Some such families have been traced down to the pres- ent time. In most cases I have not tried to trace branches of fam- ilies that removed out of the limits of old Kittery, but have often told where such branches lived and referred to other authorities for further information. For sake of clearness it has been thought necessary to introduce something of the genealogy of families living in York and Dover. Had space permitted, I would like to have given citations from deeds and authority for every statement. This has been done in some instances where the reader might otherwise have been inclined to question my state- ments. I have not made positive assertions without evidence satisfactory to myself and have often followed a statement with a question mark, although such statement is probably correct. It is quite certain that genealogists of special families will discover some errors. I have carefully compared the dates of published genealogies with the town and church records and this has some- times caused a disagreement. It has been an effort to cease inves- tigation and to publish an incomplete work ; but what genealogy was ever completed ?
In the preparation of these notes the manuscripts of Hon. Mark Dennett and of William Fogg have been thoroughly con- sidered and compared with the original town records. This comparison has led to a change of some dates and combinations. Mr. Fogg's notes were of great value, though made before the
270
OLD KITTERY
publication of Maine Wills and York Deeds. Because of such recent helps I have been obliged sometimes to differ from Mr. Fogg's conclusions, especially in treatment of the earliest genera- tions. Mr. Fogg's notes as published in "Old Eliot" contain some typographical errors that are not found in the original, espe- cially in dates and surnames. Much has been contributed to my notes from the private records of many families.
Not only the town and church records of old Kittery have been minutely studied, but also the records of Portsmouth, New- castle, Dover, York, and Wells have been consulted, and the manuscript collections of Mr. Marshall of York have been util- ized. The published records and histories of all towns in Maine and New Hampshire and of many Massachusetts towns have been searched, and weeks of research have been spent at Alfred. Me., Concord, Exeter, and Dover, N. H., Salem and Boston, Mass. It is hoped that many readers will be helped and encouraged to trace out more fully the genealogy of their families. Every American should know his lineage in as many lines as possible as far back, at least, as to the first emigrants. To know well one's self one must know all one's relations.
