Genealogical Register.
" Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time."
GENEALOGICAL REGISTER
OF THE
EARLY FAMILIES OF FARMINGTON.
THE following register is intended to include the families of the early settlers in Farmington who have descendants of the name living in town. In a few instances, families mov- ing into town at a later day have been inserted.
It is perhaps too much to expect that complete accuracy has been obtained in a work necessitating the use of thous- ands of names and dates ; but no pains have been spared to obtain and verify information in order that these tables may go into the hands of those interested in them, free from error.
The method of arrangement is similar to that adopted by Hon. Ezra S. Stearns in his admirable History of Rindge, N. H. The surname of each family will be found in "Old English" at the beginning of every family sketch. The full name of the founder of the family in Farmington appears in small capitals below. The christian names of children alone are given, and are numbered consecutively in Roman numerals, 1, II, III, etc. Whenever the names of grandchil- dren of the person whose name introduces the paragraph appear, they are numbered in Arabic numerals. In the case

of grandchildren in the female line, the surname is given. The numbers in the margin are consecutive, and persons bearing the same family name, are numbered in the order in which they are introduced. An asterisk (*) preceding a name indicates that the name is repeated as the head of a family, and can easily be found by following down the margin until its number appears again, in parentheses.

Abbott.
Several persons bearing the name of Abbot emigrated to New England in the seventeenth century. We are concerned with but two: George Abbot, who came from Yorkshire, England, probably about 1640, and was one of the pioneer settlers at Andover, Mass., in 1643 ; and George Abbot, who with three sons, Thomas, George, and Nehemiah, settled in Rowley about the same time, and died there in 1647. The former, George Abbot of Andover, is the ancestor of the Jacob Abbot family, and the latter, George Abbot of Rowley, the ancestor of the Asa Abbot family. No kinship is known to exist between the two, but there is a tradition that the Andover George Abbot was a nephew of the Rowley George Abbot. The fact that two bearing the same name came to America at so nearly the same time and settled so near together, as well as a marked resemblance in the character and tastes of their descend- ants, tends to prove the truth of the tradition. Few of the early families, with so numerous a posterity, have preserved so unsullied a name as the family of Abbot. Not many have been called to important offices in the State, but in the quieter walks of literature and the pulpit they have won enviable fame. Wherever found, their influence is cast on the side of good morals and sound learning. The name probably occurs in college catalogues more frequently than that of any other New England family, and several hundred of the descendants of the George Abbots are reckoned among the alumni of American colleges.
George Abbot of Andover married in 1647, Hannah Chandler, daughter

of William and Annis Chandler of Roxbury. llis house, one of the most substantial of that time, was used as a garrison for many years. He died Dec. 24, 1681. and his widow married Rev. Francis Dane of Andover. She died June 11, 1711, aged 82.
The twelfth of the thirteen children of George and Hannah Abbot was Nathaniel, born July 5, 1671. He resided in Andover, was a member of Rev. Thomas Barnard's church, and died Dec. 12, 1749. He married, Nov. 1, 1695, Dorcas Hibbert, and they were the parents of eleven children. Joseph, the fourth child of Nathaniel and Dorcas Abbot, was born Feb. 2, 1705, and lived in Andover until about 1776, when he removed to Wilton, N. H., where his son had previously gone. He was a deacon in the Congregational Church, and respected for his piety. His wife, whom he married Aug. 12, 1731, was Deborah Blanchard, who died in 1773. He died in Wilton in 1787. The tenth of the fourteen chil- dren of Joseph and Deborah Abbot, was Jacob, who was born March 22. 1746, and removed to Wilton, N. H., when a young man, and built the first mills on the Souhegan River in Wilton. He first represented Wilton in the General Court, was the first Justice of the Peace, and was also Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and Councillor of the State. Ile removed to Andover, Mass., where he was a trustee of Phillips Academy, and in 1797 made a residence in Concord, N. H., which town he repre- sented in the General Court for three terms. In 1802 he moved with his family to Brunswick, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a Senator in the Maine Legislature, and a member of the Board of Over- seers of Bowdoin College. He married Lydia Stevens in 1767, who survived him. His death occurred March 5, 1820. Of the ten children of Jacob and Lydia Abbot, only five lived to adult life, and of these, three settled in Franklin County. Lydia, the oldest, married in 1789 Thomas Russell of Temple. Phebe, married Benjamin Abbot of Temple, a distant kinsman, and was the mother of a noble family of twelve children, among whom were Phebe, wife of Dr. John Barker of Wilton, and mother of Dr. Fordyce Barker, a distinguished New York physician ; Hannah, . wife of Rev. Enos Merrill, and mother of E. I. and 1. W. Merrill of Farmington ; Dorcas, wife of Dr. Lafayette Perkins of Farmington ; Salva, wife of the Rev. Charles Freeman, formerly of Limerick ; Benjamin Abbot, Esq., late of Temple; Lucy, wife of Rev. John A. Douglass, formerly of Waterford; Lydia, wife of John Titcomb of Farmington ; John S. Abbot, a well-known lawyer, late of Watertown, Mass. ; Abiel Abbot, formerly a resident of Watertown, Mass .; and Abigail, wife of Ilannibal Hamlin of Boston. Jacob, eldest son of Jacob and Lydia Abbot, will be hereafter noticed.
Of the three sons of George Abbot of Rowley, the oldest, George, settled in Andover in 1655, where he married, in May, 1658, Sarah Farnum, and died March 22, 1689. The fifth of the ten children of George and Sarah Abbot, was Nehemiah, a deacon in the church at
