Field Family.

Nearly all branches of the Field family claim an English origin. They have been noted for intelligence, persistency and profound scholarship in New England. Twenty persons of this name had graduated from our eastern col- leges in 1828. Among those of this name who appeared early in this country were the following: ROBERT FIELD, of Boston, tailor, who was admitted freeman in 1644; he had sons, THOMAS and JOHN. ALEXANDER FIELD, cord- wainer, was a member of the church at Salem in 1648; made freeman in 1649. ROBERT FIELD, probably son-in-law of Maj. William Phillips, was on a jury of inquest at Saco in 1660.

The Saco valley family of this name is said to have come from "historic stock," as the line may be traced to the celebrated DARBY FIELD, of White Mountain fame, said to have been an Irishman, who signed the Exeter "Com- bination " in 1639. He ascended the White Mountains in 1642; was at Dover in 1645, when he sold his house and land to John Bickford. He was taxed at Dover from 1648 to 1651. His estate was administered upon by Ambrose Gibbons. So far as known his children were ZACHARY, and JOSEPH born in 1648. The former, born in 1645, was taxed at Dover from 1659 to 1677, but was dead before 1694. His son,

Zachary Field, had a "garrison house" at Oyster river, near Dover, in 1707 ; received land and dwelling lying east of the road from Bellamy to Oys- ter river, and west of John Drew's land, from his father. By wife Sarah had two sons, DANIEL, born Feb. 17, 1709, and ZACHARY, born Aug. 9, 1712.

Lieut. Daniel Field, as above-mentioned, was in Scarborough, Me., as early as 1744. He was lieutenant in the company of Capt. George Berry in the Louisburg expedition, and afterwards served in the Revolution. He is said to have died in the south part of Buxton, at the home of his son DANIEL, an aged man. One of his daughters, HANNAH, married Nathaniel Lord, of Buxton, and was the grandmother of Abram Lord Came; ELIZABETH, another daughter, was the wife of Matthias Redlon, by whom she had several sons, all of them marked with the thick upper lip inherited from the Field family; and also "laughed out of their eyes like a Field."

Daniel Field, Jr., b. in Scarborough (?), about 1750, married Rachel, daughter of Matthias Redlon, ist, Apr. 29, 1773. He went from Buxton to

join the Revolutionary army, and was at the fortification of Dorchester Heights. Thomas Redlon, Sr., who served with him, but who joined the army later, said when he reached the command he had considerable money, but found "brother Daniel and Uncle Daniel Field needy and divided with them." Thomas Ridlon, Jr., and his brothers were wont to ask : "Who could the ' Un- cle Daniel Field' have been?" We are now able to answer; he was the father of "brother Daniel." He was one of the original purchasers of the "Dalton Right," and settled on the northwestern side of the "College Right," on the knoll near the Uncle David Martin brick house. The well-known "HIobson field " and pasture land adjoining, as well as the farms formerly owned by Daniel and Joseph Decker, were of his land. Some say he was buried below Moderation in the old Townsend yard, others that he was laid down near the Robert Ridlon homestead. His widow survived many years, drew a pension, and lived in the family of Joseph Decker, Sr., the " Massachusetts prophet," who married her daughter, until Paul Wentworth, who married another daughter, coveted the pension money-so say the relatives-and carried her to Green- wood, where she died. The children of Daniel and Rachel were: MARY, who married Edmund Pendexter: ANNIE, wife of Joseph Decker; SALLY, wife of Paul Wentworth; DANIEL, who died aged 17 years; JONATHAN, died at the age of 21, and the two whose names will follow.

Zachary Field married Sarah Miles, of Limerick, sister of Oliver Miles who married Rachel Decker, and settled in a small house on a part of his father's farm, near " Decker's landing." He afterwards removed to Cornish to join his kindred, the Pendexters, but did not remain long. Returning to Hollis, he moved his house across the creek that issues from Uncle Decker's spring, where I suppose he died. His children were as follows: JAMES, of whom more; MARY, d. in childhood ; JULIA A., d. a child; MARY, m. William Huff and had issue; JONATHAN, of whom more; JACOB, d. young, and CHARITY, who d. in infancy.

Jacob Field, twin brother of Jonathan, before-mentioned, never married. "Uncle Jacob Field !" What memories his name scares up! He was a harmless, weak-minded person with an active impediment in his eyes. He was always winking and twisting his face into fantastic expressions. Uncle Jacob was a pilgrim who visited certain shrines at Greenwood, Sweden, Sebago, Hiram, Hollis, and Buxton; to these localities he annually came to wor- ship (?) and visit his relatives, and he was in no haste to depart thence, but patiently lingered, and sometimes strained his welcome. However, there was one place to which he went where he never tarried long ; it was made uncom- fortable by practical jokes. At the home of "Jot" Field? Of course. Now "Jot" was boiling over with mischief and could extract some amusement from the dryest subject, even from his poor old Uncle Jacob. At one time he in- vited the unsophisticated old man to go down to the factory, where he was employed, to "see the machinery." Machinery? Ostensibly, but this was not his real object, as the sequel will show. When he had guided Uncle Jacob through the "lower room," "Jot " would send him up stairs to the weaving- room, while, as he stood behind a door to watch, he fairly " lapped his chops " with delight. The shy old man would stand against the wall and gaze at the busy girls at their looms, all the time winking at them, of course: couldn't help that. Being unacquainted with this habit of the venerable visitor, the girls would swing their heads together - supposing the movement of his eyes

to be intentional-and wonder what could ail such a gallant old fellow. There was the red-faced, squint-eyed "Jot" exploding with laughter mean- while, but when Uncle Jacob backed out and approached his nephew the scamp would appear sober as a sexton and ask him what he thought of the "machinery." The old pilgrim continued to travel by easy stages to visit his kindred until the infirmities of age rendered it impossible; and soon after his pilgrimage over this humo ended the journey of life terminated, and they laid him down in Greenwood where he could no longer become the subject of his nephew's impositions.

James Field, eldest son of Zachary, before-noticed, was a "riverman " and "millman " all his days, and probably rode on mill logs while passing the saw as far as a journey round the world. He married Caroline Hanson and resided for many years on Water street, at West Buxton; but he afterwards built a house on the Hollis side of the Saco, on "Hobson's hill," where he passed the remnant of his days. James was one of the kindest-hearted men I have ever known; peaceable, honest, industrious, generous, harmless ; with a good word for all, from the small boy to the venerable sire, he was worthy of the respect, yea, the veneration and love, of all who knew him-of the whole world. In memory of his indulgent treatment of an inquisitive, barefooted boy who is now driving the descriptive pen, the author is happy to dedicate this humble tribute. And his good wife, Caroline, how gentle and kind she was ! One daughter, ADALINE, who died in maidenhood.

Jonathan Field, another son of Zachary, has been introduced in a pre- ceding article. He was one of the most singular men ever known in the Saco valley, and but for "relation's sake" we should have classed him under the head of "peculiar characters." Two conspicuous elements of his tempera- ment were cruelty and cowardice; perhaps his humorous proclivities over- shadowed these. We can best illustrate his character by a chronicle of some of his adventures. While at work in the mill he would entice barefooted boys to the card room in the second story; then set flat-headed carpet tacks, points up, on the stairs. This done he would go up and in an angry tone command the boys to "clear out." Of course they would rush down the stairs and scream with pain as their feet were pierced with the tacks; then "Jot" would go into convulsions and roar in joy. He once tied a dog to a large pulley on the main shaft in the workshop, and "put the speed on." Over and over went the poor dog, howling with pain as he was bruised and mangled upon the beams overhead, while "Jot" was rolling in the bench shavings and laughing himself hoarse. At one time he had been to some building for a basket of carpenter's chips. Now it came to pass that one of Deacon Hobson's cows, then in the barn-yard, had a young calf in the stall. As " Jot" saw her run- ning about, he began to bleat in imitation of the calf; when the restless cow heard this, at the same time seeing the basket on "Jot's " shoulder, she leaped over the bars, and, bellowing fearfully, "took after " what she took to be her calf; and "Jot " ran for dear life. He was short, fat, and clumsy, and made slow headway. Seeing that he was likely to be impaled upon the mad heifer's horns, he threw the basket at her and gasped out : "Take that, you darned old fool." While she stopped to examine the basket "Jot" escaped to a store. That night the moon shone across the old unfinished chamber where "Jot" was accustomed to sleep, and as he went up the stairs, he saw some part of his mother's spinning wheel, which had the appearance of cow's horns, and,

689

FIELD FAMILY.

almost paralyzed with fear, he rushed back to the kitchen where he declared that "old Joe Hobson's heifer" was in the chamber. From that night forward "Jot " Field never went up those stairs. He kept a pig one season. One morning he leaned over the fence and cut a piece of his tail off. This set the pig a-running and a-rubbing the remaining stump against the fence. This was unlooked for amusement for "Jot"; it was a kind that just suited his temperament, and he laughed and shouted in the madness of his glee. The following morning he called a neighbor to witness the fun and cut off another slice. Well this went on from day to day until the tail was all gone; then " Jot " would pick the scab off, which produced the same effect. Poor pig! his tail. or the place where a tail should have been, was sore all summer, and " Jot " Field had any amount of entertainment at the animal's expense. When tell- ing of this at the country grocery " Jot" would exclaim : " I tell ye he clawed to it like a boot-jack." We said he was a coward; he was. He was assist- ing to carry a loom across the mill-yard; four men holding the ends of two wooden bars had all they could " stiver " with. Well, one of those four-winged, peacock-blue beasts called a "devil's darn-needle" came that way, and as "Jot " was exactly in his line of flight he darted inside his unbuttoned shirt front. "Gosh !" shouted " Jot" as he let go his end of the bar, and, quicker than I can write of it, he stripped the woolen garment off before the aston- ished spectators. The reader may fancy the amazed expression upon the faces of the operatives in the factory, who had, many of them, witnessed this per- formance from the open doors and windows.

He was the dyer for the corporation, and when women wished for scarlet yarn for children's stockings they were accustomed to carry small parcels for "Jot" to color ; when he was absent they laid the parcel on a shelf and went their way. Knowing this, some rude mill boys would play an odd game upon "Jot." While sorting some Texas wool a ragged rat was found, which was nicely tied up within many "thicknesses" of coarse wrapping paper and laid upon the "yarn shelf" when " Jot " was away at noon. Hiding behind some dye-vats, these fellows waited for the return of the dyer. As he came in he discovered the bundle and took it down. Now "Jot" was in the habit of "talking to himself," and as he scrutinized the parcel and began to untie the string he said: "Ah! I guess some o' the wimmin hev some yarn to color ; very well, I'll make it as red as camp-fire." Wrap after wrap was taken off and no yarn appeared. "What'n thunder's this; it's a darned little skein in- side o' this," said the curious dyer. At this juncture the rat jumped plump into " Jot's" grizzled whiskers, but dropped upon the floor and disappeared. Wild with fear, the man rushed to the mill-yard, yelling with all his strength : "Where in hell is he, where in hell is he?" to the amazement of many who were just then returning to their work. While he was thus playing the acrobat those who had caused the episode left their hiding-place undiscovered, and no person knew the cause of "Jot's" circus performance until these had related the particulars. Afterward the wicked factory girls would look from the windows and scream: "Where's the Texas rat?" as they saw " Jot " passing.

Poor fellow ! he went down to a drunkard's grave. We saw him just before he died, raving like a madman with the tremens. He had one son, CHARLIE, who died when a lad. We believe his first wife was a daughter of Daniel Crocket, the chair maker; the second wife was Elizabeth Hancock.

Flanders Family.

Mr. Ezra Flanders, from Salisbury, Mass., the New England cradle of the race bearing the name, was an early pioneer of Buxton, but may have been an elderly man who came with his sons, DANIEL and ABNER. He died in June, 1817.

Daniel Flanders married Hannah Boynton, Aug. 1, 1802, and died Mar. 17, 1843. His widow d. Mar. 23, 1851. Their children : SALLY, b. June 27, 1804, d. Apr., 18, 1821 ; HANNAH, b. Apr. 6, 1806; MARY, b. July 11, 1808; DANIEL C., b. July 5, 1810; HARRIET, b. Nov. 27, 1812; EZRA B., b. Dec. 29, 1815; ELIZABETH C., b. Mar. 9, 1818.

Elder Abner Flanders m. Abigail Bradbury, of Buxton, Dec. 8, 1806, and taught school in that town; was afterwards a Baptist minister who preached in Buxton, Cornish, and other towns; a long - visaged, cavernous-eyed, slow- spoken, ungainly-appearing man, who could not help being good. He d. June 4, 1847 ; his widow d. Jan. 10, 1850. Children : BRADBURY, b. Nov. 23, 1807 (a perfect copy of his sire), and ETHIEL, b. June 6, 1816, d. June 11, 1880 ; he married Charlotte (Ridlon) Wiggin, widow, now living at West Buxton. Thus endeth the Flanders' chronicles.

Family.

The tradition is that the ancestors of this family came from Germany and settled in Rye, N. H., and that the name was spelled Faust. JOHN Foss was an inhabitant of Dover, N. N., on the 19th of January, 1665, and took the oath, June 21, 1669; was taxed at Cocheco in 1665 and 1667 ; juryman, 1667-9 and 1671, 1688. His son, JOHN Foss, and wife Mary were at Sandy Beach in 1668; of Shrewsbury Patent, near Exeter, 1671. They bought of John Warren, Sept. 29, 1668, land near Exeter, which was sold to Richard Magoon in Apr., 1671. He had WILLIAM, b. Mar. 11, 1673. A JOHN FOSS was married to Sarah Goffe, Jan. 25, 1686, by Capt. John Wincall, in York county, Maine. Another JOHN Foss had wife Elizabeth ; he was dead in 1699, and she administratrix. Children : HUMPHREY, WILLIAM, MARY, JEMIMA, ELIZABETH, and SAMUEL. WILLIAM and MARY Foss had MARY, born June 24, 1728, and CHADBOURNE, born Mar. 26, 1731. He had land granted JOHN, his father, laid out 1717. Another WILLIAM married Sarah, widow of Nathan- iel Heard, and had LYDIA, b. Jan. 7, 1705. We suppose these to have been the progenitors of the Foss families in the Saco valley and offshoots that have been transplanted into the eastern sections of the state. They were early in Scarborough, Saco, Buxton, Hollis and Limington, and in Freedom, N. H. · Several prominent men have risen from these branches, and many of solid, practical characters have borne the name in York county. BISHOP Foss, of

691

FRYE FAMILY.

the Methodist church, HON. IRA H. Foss and HON. FRANK Foss, the two lat- ter of Saco, are of this family. The Foss families, descended from ancestors who removed to the Kennebec valley, have been respectable and prosperous ; those in Limington and Parsonsfield, good farmers. We have not collected data for any extended genealogy.

Five family.

This surname may have been derived from Norse mythology in which Freyr and Freyjr were son and daughter of Niord and his wife Frigga, or from the German Frey, Frie, and Fries. We have the surname Freye in Swedish biog- raphy, with Frie and Fries in German annals. The husband of the English benefactress, Joseph Fry, was undoubtedly from the same ancestry as our Fryeburg Fryes.

Gen. Joseph Frye, son of John, was fourth in descent from John Frye who came over from England and settled in Newbury, Mass., in 1638, through his grandfather, Samuel. He was a soldier from his youth and his military mantle has fallen upon his posterity. He was in command of a regiment at the surrender of Fort William Henry. Souther says: "Strongly dissenting from its capitulation, he offered to go out with his single regiment and drive back the French and Indians, but this privilege was denied him. His suffer- ings and escape after having been stripped by the Indians, his three days' run through the forest, till torn and haggard and, for the time, insane, he reached Fort Edward on the Hudson, are more like romance than veritable history." For his services the General Court granted him "a township six miles square on either side of the Saco river, between the Great Ossapee and the White Mountains," March 3, 1762. He was a practical land-surveyor and his good judgment guided him in making choice of one of the most valuable townships in the state. The Frye family has maintained its honorable prestige and pro- duced many men of great worth.

The following records were largely copied from the town registers of Frye- burg :

Alice, daughter of David Davis, in 1828, and settled in Lewiston, Me., where he became identi- fied with manufacturing, in which association he long continued. He was a man of public spirit and served in the municipal government, being selectman and town treasurer; was elected to the Maine Senate in 1841, and as member of the council in 1861.

He devoted his early years to teaching, but became interested in the manufacturing business at Sabattis and Lewiston. He was a useful politician and exerted a strong influ- ence in his party; was chairman of the board of selectmen in Lewiston seven years ; served as postmaster under Van Buren, Pierce, and Buchanan, and was a member of the Maine Senate in 1841 and 1842.

Chaplain Jonathan Frye, who was engaged in the Pequawket battle, was a son of James and Lydia (Osgood) Frye, and second cousin of Gen. Joseph Frye, the grantee of Fryeburg. This worthy young man was a grad- uate of Harvard in 1723. He fought like a hero until mortally wounded and then cried aloud to the God of battles for success to his comrades. The day following he started on the journey toward home. but became too weak to proceed from loss of blood, sank down to rise no more, charging those who left him to die alone, if they reached home, to bear word to his father that he was not afraid to meet his God. The following lines are said to have been composed by a young lady whose life was clouded by his death :

"Assist, ye muses, help my quill. Whilst Hoods of tears does down distill, Not from mine eyes alone ; but all- But all that hears the sad and doleful fall Of that young student, Mr. Frye, Who in his blooming youth did die, Fighting for his dear country's good, He lost his life and precious blood. His father's only son was he,

His mother loved him tenderly : And all that knew him loved him well For in bright parts he did excel Most of his age, for he was young, Just entering on twenty-one: A comely youth and pious too, This I affirm for him I knew. He served the Lord when he was young, And ripe for Heaven was Jonathan."

Gibson Family.
