5. HON. SAMUEL D.,7 b. Oct. 5, 1830; m. Mary E., daughter of Eben and Sarah (Haley) Sawyer, of Hollis, and had issue, eight children. Mr. Hobson's early years were passed on the farm. His education was acquired at the common schools of his native town and at Limerick Academy. At the age of twenty he commenced to learn the trade of carpenter ; worked two years in Hollis and a few months in Portland. In the month of September, 1852, he removed to Island Pond and was engaged in erecting the first building in the village. He continued there as builder and contractor until 1857, when he was engaged by Isaac Dyer, of Portland, to take charge of his mill and lumber business at Island Pond, and continued in this position two years. In 1859 he became the agent of St. John Smith, of Portland, who had come into possession of about one thousand acres of land near Island Pond vil- lage. He acted in this capacity one year, and in 1860 bought out Mr. Smith. In 1863 he was appointed United States customs officer, which position he held for one year. After engaging in merchandising for nearly three years, Mr. Hobson purchased the entire plant of Wood- bury's mill, East Brighton, Vt., Sept. 20, 1866, and became a resi- dent there, and "Hobson's Mills" has since been his home, with the exception of an absence of two years and a half in Wakefield, Mass., until 1891, when he removed to Island Pond. Under Mr. Hobson's keen and judicious management the business has increased rapidly, and the firm, in 1884, assumed the title of S. D. Hobson & Sons. They plane and fit lumber for special orders, which is an important part of their business, besides manufacturing building lumber, clapboards, laths, etc. They cut from five to six million feet of lumber per annum, employ from forty to one hundred horses and forty men, and do an annual busi- ness of $75,000. Mr. Hobson also carries on a mercantile establish- ment, and has a large farm from which he cuts two hundred tons of hay.
Mr. Hobson's religious affiliations are with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he has been a prominent member since 1877. Polit- ically he is a Republican and has done good work for his party in town and state affairs. He has filled nearly all the town offices; represented Brighton in the Legislature in 1856 and again in 1882 and 1883. In 1860 he was elected assistant judge of the county court and served two years; in 1884-5 he represented Essex county in the State Senate. He is a man of strong temperance principles; positive in his convictions ; pleasant and unassuming in manner; fond of his family and promoting their advance in education generously ; liberal in all matters pertaining to public good ; as a manufacturer and business man, he is a persistent and practical worker, and his efforts have been rewarded with financial success.

Howard Family.
All readers of English history are aware of the high position held by the Howards, not only by the main line, but by the several junior branches as well. We shall not dwell upon the genealogy of the Howards of England and Scotland, where they have been numerous.
JOHN and JAMES HOWARD came from England and settled in Duxbury, Mass., as early as 1643. James, tradition says, settled in Bermuda. John went to Bridgewater, and was one of the original settlers there in 1651. He

HOWARD FAMILY.
took the oath of fidelity in 1657; was one of the first military officers, and was an influential citizen. We would designate John as the ancestor of all the New England Howards, but the pedigree became tangled with that of Haywood at an early day, and it is now uncertain as to which of the two families some of the Howards should trace their ancestry.
James Howard, said to be son of preceding, m. Elizabeth Washburn, and had, with other issue, a son JAMES, who moved to Woburn, where his chil- dren's names were recorded : wife's name, Bathsheba. Issue:

III. SAMUEL, b. May 2, 1747 ; was a sailor in early life. He was a Revolutionary soldier and one of the Boston Tea Party, 1773. He was absent at sea when hostilities commenced, and his wife and two sons left the city and waited on some island in Boston harbor until his return; after this, some six or eight weeks, they left the island and went to Woburn, where his father lived, and remained there until he removed to Brownfield, prior to 1800. He once lived at Conway Centre, near " Black Cat brook"; moved thence to Hiram Hill, and thence to "Ten Mile Mill," where his wife, Mary Haley, d. Aug. 2, 1823, aged 77. She was buried on the high bank southwest of the mill, in a lot now overgrown with pines.

He received his preliminary education at Fryeburg Academy; graduated at Bowdoin, class of 1821, and immediately entered the office of Judge Dana to study law. He completed his legal studies in the office of Judge Daniel Goodenow, and was admitted to the bar in 1824; first practised in Bridgton; then removed to Limerick, where he practised twelve or more years; served as county attorney for York county about ten years; settled in Portland in 1837, where he formed a partnership with Henry B. Osgood, his brother-in-law, their wives being the accomplished daughters of Judge Dana and sisters of Gov. John W. Dana. After the death of his partner, he and George F. Shepley practised together until 1848, when he was appointed justice of the Supreme Judicial Court. He had previously served as United States attorney for the district of Maine. He subsequently ad- mitted to partnership Sewall C. Strout ; afterwards he admitted his son-in-law, Nathan Cleaves, late judge of probate for Cumberland county, and still later, Henry B. Cleaves, now governor of Maine.
In December, 1877, he went to visit his brother at the old homestead in Brownfield, where he arrived at noon. After dinner he went out alone to stroll about the farm where he was born. Failing to return, search was made and his lifeless body found only a little way from the house. In his hand was a bunch of evergreen he had plucked on his way.
In all the relations of life Judge Howard was a most estimable man. Children :

Bubart- Hubbard.
Hubart is a French name, and the first of the family known in New Eng- land, came from the Isle of Jersey to Kittery, before 1700. They had lived in the parish of St. Savior. JOSEPH HUBART made his will in Kittery -- re- corded April 21, 1701 -in which he states the name of his birth-place. He bequeaths to his loving brother, PHILIP HUBART, of Kittery, "with whom I have lived and by whom I have been provided for and maintained ever since my coming to New England," two pounds, besides a tract of land, or field, " situate in the parish of St. Savior, in Jersey, lately in the possession of my brother; JOHN HUBART, of said parish." From this ancient French surname the transmuting influences of the New World have produced HUBBARD, which is an English surname.
From the first Philip Hubart there has been a long line, representing no less than eight generations bearing this christian name. Immediately after set- tlement members of the family became leading spirits in town affairs of Kittery, and Philip Hubart was selectman there from 1707 to 1711. He was on a committee, in 1706, to build a meeting-house 36 feet square. In 1772 a Philip Hubart was one of the "leading citizens" who showed loyalty to the colonial interests against England, and was on a committee to formulate cer- tain resolutions for the town to adopt, being then styled "Captain." Among prominent citizens of Berwick, which was formerly part of Kittery, were CAPT. PHILIP and COL. MOSES HUBBARD, of this family. From the prestige of those who came to Cornish and Hiram we conclude that their "blood was thicker than water."
Philip Hubbard settled in Cornish, and married a Barker. His father was John, son of Philip. This family came from Berwick. Mr. Hubbard died at the early age of 36 years, leaving three sons and a daughter.
Hon. John P. Hubbard, son of preceding, was a native of Cornish, but settled in Hiram in 1841, where he was long prominently identified with the history of Oxford county. He was held in such high esteem that he was called to fill every town office, and to serve in both branches of the Legis- lature-two terms in the Senate -of the state. He was, however, too actively engaged in business to devote much of his time to public affairs, but his pride in all that pertained to the progress of the town and the advancement of his fellow townsmen inspired him to contribute his influence in the most practical way toward the attainment of such objects. His sterling integrity and uniform kindness secured to him many warm friends, who were delighted in doing him honor, and when he died he was deeply lamented by a wide circle of acquaint- ances. He was trial justice for many years, member of state board of valua- tion in 1870, and served as an excellent moderator at town elections. He married first, Mary A., dau. of Joseph Sargent, who lived near Portland, and had issne, MARY E., who was the wife of John Langdon Otis, and after his death was married to Hon. Peter B. Young, of Hiram; CHARLES E. HUBBARD,* who was a lieutenant in the Civil war, and who served as town treasurer of

HUNTRESS FAMILY.
Hiram, representative in the Legislature, and is now living in Kansas; and JOHN W. HUBBARD, who was a lieutenant of heavy artillery during the Rebel- lion, and has been selectman and postmaster in Hiram. John P. Hubbard married for his second wife, Susanna, dau. of Gen. Peleg and Susanna Wads- worth, and a teacher of Hiram, and had issue, MINNIE, a graduate of Farm- ington Normal school who enjoys a high reputation in three states; PHILIP W., a graduate of Maine State College, now in California ; C'ORA, the wife of John B. Pike, Esq., who resides with her mother on the old Wadsworth home- stead, and ELMER M., the stage-driver and expressman, now living at Kezar Falls, Me. Mr. Hubbard died in Hiram, Aug. 18, 1885, after a painful illness.
Hou. Noah B. Hubbard, brother of John P., was b. in Cornish, Nov. I, 1824, and was engaged in trade with his brother in Lovell until 1841, when, on the death of their brother Frank, they settled in Hiram. He clerked a while for John P., and afterwards became his partner in trade; then, after a few years, he engaged in trade with Roscoe G. Green, and, lastly, with his only son, RALPH L. HUBBARD. He was postmaster at Hiram for twenty-seven years; assessor of internal revenue one year, and custom officer in Portland about five years. He was town clerk of Hiram twelve years; was selectman, magistrate, county commissioner and representative in the State Legislature. His penmanship was as beautiful as copperplate; his good judgment and faithfulness a sound guarantee to the public in every official capacity to which he was called, and his unabated courtesy and dignified bearing commanded the respect of all. He was a loyal representative of the Republican party, and an efficient advocate of its principles. Discreet in his personal affairs, guarded in his utterances, and devoted to his family, he seldom gave offense to any. He died in 1884, aged 59 years, 9 months, and 8 days. He m. Emeline, dau. of Hon. John Kimball, of Hiram, by whom issue, RALPH L. and FANNIE B.

Hutchinson Family.
Hutchinson is an English surname, and was borne by several somewhat illustrious persons in literary life in the "Old World." RICHARD HUTCHIN- SON, born in England in 1606, came to New England in 1634-6. The celebrated ANNE HUTCHINSON, who claimed to be a medium of divine reve- lations, gave the family notoriety, and the HUTCHINSON FAMILY, the noted singers, cast a beautiful halo over the name. A branch of the old stock was early planted in Wells, Me., and from that town came
