Portsmouth, R. I .. Dec. 16, 1731, and had one child. John, born Nov. 4, 1732.
John Manchester, son of Gershom and Mary (Farrow) Man- chester, and half brother to Stephen, was a small boy, when his father came to Windham, then called New Marblehead. In 1752. he took up Home Lot No. 16; and, before 1759, had cleared nine acres of land and built a house. In 1756 he married Com- fort Bunker of North Yarmouth, Me., but the tradition is that she came from Mount Desert. A few months after his marriage he joined the church, being then twenty-three years of age. He also owned Home Lots Nos. 14 and 15. "His first child," says the old record, "died about a fortnight oald." He had daughters. Mary and Hannah, probably other children. He was a garrison soldier in 1757. under Sergt. Thomas Chute. In 1761 he sold his land in Windham, and probably went then, or the next year, to Mount Desert, where he was living in 1790.
MAYBERRY
William Mayberry, ancestor of all bearing the name in Wind- ham and vicinity, was a native of the parish of Ballemoney, near Coleraine, Antrim County, Ireland. The date of his birth we do not know, but he died in Windham, according to the church records. Mar. 15, 1765. His wife was Bathsheba Dennis, to whom he was married in Ireland, and who accompanied him to this country. No date of her birth, death, or marriage can now be found. He was a blacksmith, and it is said that the cinders of his old forge are still to be seen at Ballemoney. He had two sons born in Ireland, John and Thomas. Thinking to better his condition, he took passage for this country and landed at Marblehead. Mass., sometime previous to 1735. During the long and wearisome passage, a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Mayberry, who was given the significant name of Sea Fair. Just how long he remained in Marblehead is uncertain ; but. while living there, his son. Richard, was born. This was some- time in 1735.
When the Great and General Court of Massachusetts granted to sixty inhabitants of Marblehead the territory comprised in the present town of Windham, Mr. Mayberry had been a resident of the old burgh long enough to be included among the grantees

WINDHAM IN THE PAST
of the new township. In the division of the home lots, No. 57 fell to his share. It does not appear that he settled on this lot, but on Home Lot No. 11, which he probably purchased of Robert Bull, the original owner; and here he built a log house, in which his daughter Anne (sometimes written Naney) was born, she being the second white child born within the limits of the town- ship. The time of his settlement is said to have been 1737. (For leading facts in Mr. Mayberry's Windham residence, see Chapter II.) William and Bathsheba (Dennis) Mayberry had the following children :
1. John, born in Ireland.
2. Thomas, born in Ireland.
3. Sea Fair, born at sea on the passage from Ireland, 173-1. She became the second wife of Stephen Manchester, married Dee. 21, 1749, died Dec. 12, 1753, aged about 23 years.
4. Richard, born in Marblehead, in 1735.
5. Naney (or Anne), born in Windham, May 23, 1740; married, June 27. 1759, Gershom Winship; died Feb. 10, 1808.
John, son of William and Bathsheba (Dennis) Mayberry, married in Marblehead, Elizabeth Dennis, probably his cousin. We are not able to give the date of their marriage. He settled on Home Lot No. 57, the original right of his father; and the date of his settlement is given as 1751. He also owned the adjoining lot, No. 56. Like his father, he was a blacksmith and, throughout his life, exercised that handieraft more or less. He was an active. enterprising man and a good citizen. He died Mar. 2, 1805, aged 89 years. His wife, Elizabeth, died Nov. 21, 1800. They had five children :
1. Elizabeth, born in 1742, married James Webb, died in 1827, aged 85 years.
2. William, born in 1745.
3. Charity, married Enoch Graffam.
4. Bathsheba, ) married James O. Mayberry.
5. Rebecca, Stwin with Bathsheba, and died unmarried.
Thomas, son of William and Bathsheba (Dennis) Mayberry, married, Jan. 17, 1745, Bethia, daughter of Capt. David Spear of Tiverton, R. I. She died very suddenly ; the church records say, "in her sleep," June 14, 1769. The town records say that he married Anne Swett, Dee. 3, 1767; but, from other sources,
483
GENEALOGY
we learn that Mrs. Bethia Mayberry died June 14, 1767, or one day after her son. John, was born ; and that Mr. Mayberry mar- ried Annie Swett, Dec. 3, 1768. She, too, died suddenly, Apr. 6, 1770, and, on Sept. 9th of that year, he entered his intention of marriage with Margaret Weeks of Falmouth. We can find no record of the marriage here, but it doubtless took place in Falmouth (now Portland). She survived him several years, and was appointed administratrix of his estate in 1777. She died. according to the church records, Dee. 14, 1783. She is buried on the Weeks family lot in the old Eastern Cemetery in Portland, and her headstone gives the date of her death some- what differently, but we think the above is correct.
Thomas Mayberry was a shrewd, enterprising man and accu- mulated quite a fortune for the times in which he lived. He owned Home Lots 17, 18, 19, and 20, and, during the last Indian war, had a well-fortified garrison-house on Lot 19. In 1773, he paid the highest tax paid by any single individual in town, his tax for that year being 7 pounds, 1 shilling, in addition to which he paid a tax of 12 shillings, 3 pence for a negro slave. The date of his death we do not know, but it was previous to 1777. By his first wife, Bethia, he had ten children, all born in Windham :

Richard, son of William and Bathsheba (Dennis) Mayberry, married, sometime previous to 1756, Martha, daughter of Thomas Bolton of Windham. He settled on the paternal acres and cared for his parents in their old age. In addition to his farming operations, he worked at what seems to have been the family trade, namely blacksmithing. When the Revolutionary War came, he left his business, enlisted, and was commissioned Captain of the Fifth Company in the Eleventh Regiment of Massachusetts Bay forces, commanded by Col. Benjamin Tupper. He served for more than three years, was a brave and efficient officer, and received an honorable discharge. Ile returned to Windham and soon afterwards, sold his property here and re- moved to Raymond, Me., where he bought a large tract of wild land. While clearing it of the wood and timber, he was acci- dentally killed by a falling tree. This sad event took place Nov. 4, 1807. He and his wife, Martha, had children, as follows :
