PREFACE. 1192417
THERE is hardly an undertaking more discouraging in its inception than the preparation of a genealogy of the families of a town. It is a laborious task to awaken and to sustain the indi- vidual interest of the people most concerned. Frequently they alone can supply information. It is a work with which they are unfamiliar. If they have records, these are often incomplete. They do not see the necessity for accuracy of detail in the com- pilations they prepare. Dates of births, marriages and deaths are given from memory when Bible and other records are access- ible. Family traditions of ancestors are sometimes inconsistent with the dates of births of these ancestors. Especially is this true of their service in Colonial wars and of the War of the Revolution. Nor is this surprising, as instances were found by the committee having in charge this work where such traditions had already been published as facts in printed genealogies. It is, therefore, apparent that many returns required correspondence to correct palpable errors. There was a satisfaction, however, in the result obtained when these corrections were secured that well repaid the exertions to obtain them. In some cases it was impossible to procure anything beyond fragmentary accounts of families or to reconcile inconsistent dates in their genealogies. Information was sought even after the signatures of this volume were printed. Therefore, as a part of this preface will be found some additions and corrections disclosed too late to be incor- porated in the text.
It was the ambition of the committee to secure full genealogies of those families long identified with the town, especially those dating from the early settlements. For some time it seemed likely that this part of the work would be confined to a very few families. Gradually, however, descendants of other families were found whose interest was enlisted until some record was obtained of a considerable majority of the important families connected with the history of Canterbury. This and other data became so voluminous that an abridgment was necessary to adapt

the material to the space allotted to it in the original estimates for the cost of publication. This condensation has necessitated the rewriting of practically all of the genealogies, a work of no small labor and care. As finally printed, this volume with its very full index, prepared by Miss Harriet L. Huntress of Concord, whose previous experience is a guaranty of the completeness and accuracy of her work, exceeds the size at first intended.
In spite of the trials incident to an undertaking of this kind, the committee having it in charge have enjoyed the work and at times have found it fascinating. Their obligations are due to all who have assisted in the effort to make this feature of the permanent records of the town interesting and reliable.

AMES.
1. DANIEL1 AMES, husbandman, settled in that part of Exeter, which is now Newmarket. The Ames estate was about six miles from Exeter village, pleasantly situated on the north side of the Piscassic River near the corner of Hall's Mill and Lee roads. Near the westerly side of a large, well-cultivated field, there is a knoll elevated ten or fifteen feet. On this knoll Daniel Ames built his log house. It had two rooms on the floor and was two stories in height. The upper story projected over the lower so that the house when used as a garrison could be defended against the attacks of Indians. Here he lived with his family, and here he d. in Jan., 1754. In this field at a bend in the river, and near its bank, is another knoll which is covered with trees. It was here that Daniel Ames and his household were buried. The neglected graves are dis- tinctly marked by small, rough stones upon which there are no inscrip- tions.

The will of Daniel Ames "aged and well stricken in Years, and in a weak habit of body," dated 24 Dec., 1753, was presented for probate, 30 Jan., 1754. It makes his sons, Nathaniel and Jacob, executors, and it gives to them the homestead. The will also mentions the following children :
2. i. SIMON2.
3. ii. SAMUEL.
4. iii. DANIEL.
iv. NATHANIEL, resided in Newmarket. Had a son, Nathaniel, Jr. Both signed the Association Test, 12 July, 1776. The father sold John Ames, 28 Aug., 1782, "all my farm whereon I now live, containing 90 acres with the buildings thereon."

ix. MARY, to whom her father's will gave a legacy and a room in the westerly end of his dwelling house so long as she remained single.
2. SIMON2 AMES (Daniel1) came to C. about 1750, and bought of his brother, Samuel, lot 86, near the Center. He was elected constable in 1755 and 1756, a tithingman in 1754 and again in 1770. His name appears on the tax lists from 1762 to 1780. His will was presented for probate 13 May, 1783. The town records show nothing of his descendants, unless he had a son Simon, for one of that name was taxed in 1785 and is in the census of 1790.
3. SAMUEL2 AMES (Daniel1) b. in Newmarket 13 Feb., 1723; m. Hannah Dolloff, who was b. 18 Jan., 1728. He came to C. about 1749, settling near the meeting house at the Center on the farm now owned by . Joseph M. Houser of Canterbury. In 1791, he moved to the "Borough," having obtained possession of a large tract of land there, upon which was an unfinished two-story house which he completed. It is still intact. This farm remained in the possession of his descendants until recently, when it was purchased by Leroy A. Glines. Samuel Ames d. 16 Jan., 1803. His wife d. 23 Jan., 1804. They are buried in the family burial lot on the farm near the house. Children:
