1 .- Obituary of Jacob Bradbury, Esquire.
[* From the Portland Gazette, November 4th, 1311.]
Died in Buxton. October 30th, 1811, Jacob Bradbury, Esq., aged 68 years. From the time of his arriving to the age of manhood to the commence.nei t of his last illness, he has had constant employ in public business of various kinds. He was the first person who represented the town of Buxton in the General Court : which station he filled a number of years, giving universal satisfaction. He has ever been the object of confidential trust by all classes and denominations of people in the circle of his acquaintance.
As a husband, he was affectionate and endearing ; as a father, tender and provident ; as a brother, kind and obliging : as a fellow of society, ever endeavoring to promote good order and religion ; as a friend and compan- ion, desirable and pleasing.
From his earliest years he has exhibited a striking example of industry, frugality, prudence and economy. He has left a widow and seven children to lament his unspeakable loss. Friends almost without number, but par- ticularly the inhabitants of the town in which he lived. will deeply regret the loss of so worthy a citizen. He more than 30 years belonged to the Mr. Coffin's church in Buxton, and remained unshaken in the full belief of the Christian religion till his death.

Voted that the Clerk notify the Proprietors in this town that they Come forward at the adjournment of this meeting &
His whole tenure of conversation, during his last illness, was on the sub- ject of religion. An ample proof that religion was uppermost in his thoughts was that he would frequently. while asleep, repeat passages of Scripture and break ont in exclamations of praise and thanksgiving to God for his tender compassion and provident care. He at times, during the former part of his sickness, would seem to have gloomy doubts and fears with regard to the sincerity of his faith. But they were only momentary suspensions of the light, that it might gain brighter effulgence, break forth and shine with redoubled splendor.
During the last two or three weeks before his death (as he himself observed two or three days before his death), he had not felt the least gloom or suspense on his mind. During his whole sickness, which was distressing in the extreme, he was not heard to utter a murmur, but was all submission, and thanked God for all he had done, both for afflictive provi- dence and tender mercy. He would frequently express a desire to be gone from this world of trouble that he might join with the angels of light, in more perfect strains of praise to God, than he could while in this body of clay. His last words, which were about two hours before he drew his last breath, were : " When I again awake I shall wing my way to immortal bliss to receive the crown of my rejoicing ;" he then fell into a sound sleep, never more to wake in this world.
Ah ! happy Spirit, born of God, Worked in Christ's all cleansing blood, Now borne aloft to praise and sing Eternal anthems to thy King : Care and trouble, pain and woe, Are strangers on that happy shore ; All peace, all bliss, a heaven of joy, Where saints shall reigu without alloy.

3 .- Capt. Thomas Bradbury, the Emigrant. [From the IIIST. COLL. OF THE ESSEX INSTITUTE, Vol. II : 219, 220.]
THOMAS BRADBURY.
The name of this person occurs in our history as early as 1634, when he signs, with Thomas Morton, in attestation of a deed from Gorges and Ma- son .* He married Mary, daughter of John Perkins, in 1636.+ May 13, 1640, he was made a freeman. December 10, 1641, he was appointed the first clerk of the writs at Salisbury. In March, 1648, he was appointed ensign of the train band at Salisbury. In 1650 he was appointed a " commissioner to end small causes " in Salisbury. In 1651 he was chosen deputy to the General Court, and again in 1652-6-7-60-61 and '66. Here he appears to have voted on the liberal side-in some instances, at least. In 1651 - '2 he was commissioned to lay out the bounds of Hampton ; and he served on a similar committee to lay out a private grant to Emanuel Downing. In May, 1654, he was appointed a member of a special court, to examine certain petitioners who prayed the General Court to restore Lieut, Pike, he having been removed from office for some alleged refractory conduct. In October, the same year, and again in 1656, 1658, 1659, he was appointed on various committees to settle differences concerning lands, to fix boundaries and to locate grants. In May, 1657, the law providing for commissioners for end- ing small causes having been repealed, Mr. Bradbury was commissioned to bind over offenders in criminal cases. The same year he was of a commit- tee to inquire if ministers' widows and orphan children were properly provided for. In May, 1660, he was chosen to settle some difficulties at Portsmouth, requiring the intervention of the General Court. In 1666, he was of a committee to examine and report to the legislature on the state of the defences in and about Boston constructed by Major General John Leverett. In April, 1668, he was appointed one of the Commissioners of Customs for Norfolk County. In 1675-6-7- and '9, he appears as one of the associate judges for Norfolk.
Although Mr. Bradbury's term as clerk properly expired with the separa- tion of New Hampshire from Massachusetts Bay in February, 1680, he still acted as recorder or clerk up to July 8th, 1681 ;} and he appears to have kept the records even before his appointment. These, however, he may have completed from the memoranda of his predecessor.
In addition to the duties already enumerated we find him acting as captain of a military company at Salisbury, and in 1686, on the committee with Appleton and Gerrish "to take account of births and deaths." To crown all, he was of course, licensed as an innkeeper or retailer.
He died March 16, 1695 ; his wife, by whom he had six sons and five daughters, surviving him till Dec. 20, 1700, when she died at an advanced age. During that mental endemic, the witchcraft delusion, she was one of the accused, but was acquitted. §
Mr. Bradbury was an easy, legible and industrious penman, and evidently a man of sound judgment and more than ordinary ability.
