Mr. Hancock was accidentally killed in the winter of 1764, by a tree or limb falling upon him while visiting his workmen cutting timber in the words. His real estate was valued as follows :-

" John Lane Hancock entered the service in May, 1775, for eight months in Captain John Lane's Company, in Colonel Foster's Regiment, and was stationed at Cape Ann, Massachusetts. At the expiration of the eight months he again entered for one year, in Captain Lane's Company, in Colonel Varnum's Regiment, and marched through Rhode Island to Long Island, and participated in the battles before the retreat of the Army to the City of New York. He was also in the engagement at Harlem Heights. After the Army retreated to New Jersey, his term of service expired. He again entered for one month, which term expired in February. 1777. He again entered for nine months in Captain Jenkin's Company, in Colonel Poor's Regiment, and served at West Point and vicinity. His children were Hannah, Susan, Ruth, and John. He died at Standish, Maine, Sep- tember sixth, 1835, aged seventy-eight years. Mr. Llewellyn A. Wads- worth, of Hiram, Maine, informs me that Mrs. Hannah Hancock was resid- ing in that town in 1838, aged seventy-two years.
In 1765, Mrs. Hancock married John Garland, by whom she had Han- nah, married, January twenty-fourth, 1793, Samuel Leavit, Jr .: Joanna, married Cadwallader Gray : Mercy, married, September eighteenth, 1791, Moses Bradbury, and died, January eighth, 1840: Betty, married, Decom- ber fifth, 1783, Elisha Andrews : Patty, married, December sixteenth, 1792.

Hall, and died al Fairfield, December eighth, 1855.
The "Garland tavern," situated on the right of the road leading from the Meeting-house to Salmon Falls, was for many years the favorite resort of the aristocracy of York county. Madam Garland was known as one of the best cooks of the times ; and her eight daughters were no less accom- plished in that very useful, but much neglected art. It was not alone the famous bowls of punch, the mugs of filip and sampson (cider and rum), and the choicest viands the forest as well as Portland market afforded, that 80 often attracted to that tavern, among others, the distinguished graduate of Harvard College, of the Class of 1784, as the above marriages clearly show. Mrs. Garland was a good-natured lady of the old school of fashion. and often found time, among her multiplicity of duties, to play the odd game with her daughters. "Joan" was the pride and life of the household. and a particular favorite of all who knew her. She always had a kind word for every sorrowful heart. Said "Aunt Susie Merrill" to me, more than a quarter of a century since, "she was a gay duck and the prettiest rosy- cheeked girl I ever saw." Parson Coffin [Paulus, D. D., H. C., 1759.] knew how to lay aside his clerical robe and enjoy the social qualities of life with his neighbors. He did not make his pulpit a political rostrum as some of his successors have done. He founded that Church in Narraganset town- ship, No. 1, and supported it more than half a century by preaching the doctrine of the christian religion. By the special invitation of Madan Garland he visited her family on a Monday, & day in olden times when ladies were not ashamed to work. "Joan" was tugging and sweating over the wash-tub, in the heat of July. The Parson was quietly ushered into the parlor called then the "fore-room"; and it was gracefully announced to .Joan," "Cud has come." While she was busy in her ward-robe, the Par- son, assisted by her sisters, carried the tub with its contents into the parlor and placed it upon two chairs; and when "Joan" stepped softly in to greet her lover, she found the Parson with his coat off and sleves rolled up busily engaged in finishing her washing. She instantly saw that she was enchred : and one ejaculation fell from her lips, -"never, never, will I do any more washing in this house "! She faithfully and sacredly kept her words. In the Parson's record of marriages may be read to this day-
"1733, Sep. 6 .- Cadwallader Gray & Joanna Garland both of Buxton."
