PREFACE.
At the annual meeting of the PISCATAQUA PIONEERS, at Exeter, 17 August, 1917, President Foster, in his ad- dress suggested that the society have prepared and published a register of the members and their ances- tors, with appropriate sketches of the latter. Acting on his suggestion it was voted that the Secretary be in- structed to prepare such a register. The Secretary said he would not have time to attend to preparing the copy; it was voted that he employ such assistance as he might need. Accordingly he engaged Mr. John Scales to take the work in hand, who soon after began outlining the plan of the book, with the advice and assistance of President Baer and Secretary Lamson. When the first draft was completed, on suggestion of Secretary Lam- son, it was submitted to the examination of Rev. Dr. Everett S. Stackpole, who made several corrections and furnished some additions. He suggested that the first generation of children of the Pioneers be added, that list not being included in the original draft. The Pres- ident and Secretary approved of the suggestion and the editor took the work in hand to find who constitutes that first generation; it was a difficult job, and took consider- able time, but at the annual meeting in August, 1918, the copy was ready for the printer. The report of the Treasurer showed there was lack of funds to pay for publication at that time.
At this annual meeting thirty or more members were added to the list; as there was to be delay in rais- ing the needed money to pay the printer, the editor took these new members in hand and had their names and their ancestors included in the proper places in the Reg- ister; this required much changing of the original copy, but with the assistance of Dr. Stackpole and Mr. Charles

Thornton Libby, Librarian of the Maine Historical So- ciety, the work was completed in its present shape. Care has been taken to correct old errors, in former prints, and to avoid, as much as possible, making any new errors. In such a multitude of names and dates, of course, there will be found some errors. Any one finding a mistake will confer a favor by sending the correction to the editor.

The object for which this Society is established is for securing and preserving the records of "PISCATAQUA PIONEERS" and their descendants. It is historical as well as genealogical and biographical.

To learn the several parts they took in the accom- plishment of the objects of the pioneers in this vicinity, as well as to trace them and their descendants in other avenues of life, whether near or remote, in their several contributions to the advancement of American civiliza- tion, its literature, arts and industries.
To provide for their association to the end that those generations who may come after us shall not be ignorant of those who first dealt with the wilderness and its aborigines, planting homes in the New World, and that they may, in some degree, be enabled to trace the pathways of their ancestors within the broader limits of our common country.

ORIGIN OF THE SOCIETY OF PISCATAQUA PIONEERS.
THE SOCIETY OF PISCATAQUA PIONEERS was or- ganized in 1905, but for quite a while before that year Capt. Thomas M. Jackson had been studying the ques- tion of how to get such a society formed at Portsmouth; he met with no encouragement and found much to dis- courage him in the undertaking. But he kept at it, hoping something would turn up that would open the way for creating a society of some sort. Following is an account of what happened:
In the early part of the year 1905 Albert H. Lam- son, of Elkins, N. H., had an item of inquiry published in the "Essex Antiquarian" at Salem, Mass., asking for information in regard to certain genealogical data. The information was given by Thomas M. Jackson and John Mark Moses. Both of these gentlemen were un- known to Mr. Lamson, and to each other. The answers led to correspondence; this general introduction brought the three together in close friendship. Capt. Jackson explained the character of the society he had been try- ing to organize, and asked them to join him in its for- mation. They became deeply interested and got Mr. Fernald and Mr. Safford to join them to make the neces- sary number to secure a charter from the Secretary of State of New Hampshire.
The first meeting was held at Concord, N. H., 15 June 1915, at the office of the Secretary of State. The following gentlemen were incorporated, under the pro- visions of Chapter 147 of the Public Statutes of New Hampshire, by the name of-PISCATAQUA PIONEERS: -Thomas Manning Jackson, of Brooklyn, N. Y .; John Mark Moses, of Northwood, N. H .; Albert H. Lam- son, of Elkins, (New London) N. H .; Henry W. Fer- nald, of Boston, Mass .; Moses A. Safford, of Kittery,
17
Me. They organized by electing the following officers: President, Hon. Moses A. Safford; Treasurer, Henry W. Fernald; Secretary, Albert H. Lamson.
The first annual meeting was held at Portsmouth on the 22d of August, 1905, at the call of the President. A code of by-laws was adopted and the board of officers under the laws was elected as follows:
President, Hon. Moses A. Safford of Kittery, Me.
Secretary, Albert H. Lamson of Elkins, (New Lon- don) N. H.
Treasurer, Henry W. Fernald of Boston.
Directors: Thomos M. Jackson of Brooklyn; Moses A. Safford of Kittery; John Mark Moses of Northwood; Henry W. Fernald of Boston, and Albert H. Lamson of Elkins; they were to serve for the ensuing year.
In this connection it seems proper to give a brief sketch of the founder of this society, Captain Thomas Manning Jackson. He was born in Portsmouth, 27 January, 1840. He is a patriot in what he has done for his country in time of peace as well as in the war for the preservation of the Union. His ancestors were patriots, who did valiant service in the wars before the great Rebellion. Captain Jackson is son of Col. John Henry Jackson, who was born in Portsmouth 20 Oct. 1814. Col. Jackson was son of John Henry Jackson, who was a soldier in the war of 1812-1815. He was wounded in the battle at Fort Erie, 17 Sept. 1814. He died of his wounds three days later, September 21st, one month before his son, the future colonel of the Civil War, was born. The Jackson ancestors of these three men were nearly all soldiers in the Colonial, Provincial and Indian-French wars.
Col. John Henry Jackson, Jr., first performed mili- tary service in the Mexican war, 1845-1846. He was a private soldier in a company that was enrolled in Gen. Franklin Pierce's regiment of New Hampshire men who did such gallant service in that campaign when Gen. Scott captured the City of Mexico. His company was one of the first to enter the capital of that country, as
18
conquerors. On his return home he was engaged in business in Portsmouth until the Civil War began in April, 1861. He was one of the first to visit Concord and tender his services to the Governor and Council to help suppress the rebellion. They learned of his Mexi- can war record, and at once saw that he was the man to put in commission as Lieutenant Colonel of the Third Regiment of Volunteers that was being raised for the war. Enoch Q. Fellows, a West Point graduate, was appointed Colonel, and under command of these two of- ficers the regiment has a grand record. They were ap- pointed in August, 1861. Colonel Fellows served until June, 1862, when he resigned to take command of the Ninth Regiment, which was being organized, and needed an experienced officer at the head of it to rapid- ly advance it for service in the field of war. Lieuten- ant Colonel Jackson was then promoted to Colonel and served through one year. He has a fine record for bravery, and for good judgment in command of the regiment. He was severely wounded at the battle of Fort Wagner, S. C., in July, 1863. He longed to re- cover and renew his services, but was compelled to give up and get a discharge from the army, after passing a few months in the hospital.
Colonel Jackson was appointed Lieutenant Colonel August 6. His son, Thomas Manning, was then a young man of twenty-one, and his father said to him-"You stay at home and take care of your mother, while I am away at war." Thomas said nothing in reply, but after his father had been in Concord a few days he was sur- prised to see his son appear on the parade field in uni- form, drilling in Company I. He took good care of his mother six days, and August 12 he enlisted, and soon after went to Concord, where his father was engaged in organizing and drilling the men to become good sol- diers. The father was a bit wrathy at first, and repri- manded his son, but soon cooled in temper and became proud of his son for his patriotic step in service for the suppression of the rebellion. Thomas Manning was ap-
19
pointed Sergeant Major August 26, 1861. He held that office a few months, and did such good work that he was promoted to Second Lieutenant of Company I, Third Regiment, in December, 1861. A short time after that he was again promoted to First Lieutenant of that com- pany. His efficiency as an officer was such that he was again promoted to Captain of Company B. of the same regiment, May 13, 1863. The regiment was then en- gaged in the awful deadly campaign in South Carolina. In the battle at Fort Wagner, in July, 1863, both father and son were severely wounded, and were placed in the hospital, near each other. On account of his wounds he was obliged to accept a discharge from the service. Both father and son have highly honorable records in that regiment.
Captain Jackson had an honorable business career, after discharge from the army; for many years he was located in Brooklyn, N. Y. He now lives at Epping, retired from business, in his eightieth year.
