THREE ANCIENT CEMETERIES.
IN Grafton county, New Hampshire, in the town of Enfield, near the boundary line that separates that township from that of Leba- non, lies one of the great ponds of the state. It is a beautiful sheet of water about five miles in length, covering 1600 acres of a valley walled in by hills with mountains of moderate height a part of its horizon line. Near its inlet from smaller ponds on a higher level, its banks are dotted with summer cottages ; on its southern bank is the large farm belonging to the fraternity of Shakers, which once so numerous that at this station three "families " occupied different portions of it, where now a little band of "sisters" with one or two " brothers " and a group of children gathered from "the world's peo- ple," inhabit the great stone structure which when it was built " cost more than any building in the state except the capitol at Concord." This sheet of water is locally known as Lake Moscoma. Its outlet is a stream of an average width of five or six rods, which, falling some four or five hundred feet in its westerly descent to the Connec- ticut, is called the Moscoma river. Settlement of this region began about the middle of the 18th century. Those who cleared its farms were mainly from Connecticut ; they came up the river to their new homes and gave to New Hampshire a cluster of familiar town names transfered from the communities they had left. On the fertile land near where the Moscoma joins the Connecticut river the early set- tlers of Lebanon built their log cabins and in July, 1761, obtained a charter for their town. On a hill a half mile east of the Connec- ticut, and a few hundred feet north of the Moscoma, the first burial ground of the new town was established. It takes its name "The Old Pine Cemetery " from a noble trec, whose roots grasping the footstone at the grave of one of the earliest settlers, have thrown it from its upright position and partially lifted it from its place. In the latter part of August of the current year, the compiler with members of his family visited this old burial place and copied from its monuments and headstones the information genealogically valuable that they still hold. He believes that the inscriptions were carefully taken, as the youngest of the copyists was nineteen years old and he thinks that none were omitted as the junior of the group marked each stone as the copy of its record was finished. With such infor- mation as he found in the library of the New England Historic Gen-
4
ealogical Society as to the families of those who there sleep their last sleep, he enters them and those of two less ancient cemeteries, in alphabetical order in the following pages.
In memory of Daniel Alden Esquire, who died May 18th 1790 in the 71st year of his age.
In memory of Mrs. Jane Alden, Relict of the late Daniel Alden Esq., who died May 6th 1817 in her 93ª year.
The " Memorial of the descendants of the Hon. John Alden, by Ebenezer Alden M.D., of Randolph [Norfolk Co.] Mass. [1788-1881] is the authority for the genealogical line here given. Dr. Alden in his work acknowledges the valuable assistance he received from his " Aunt Jane " of Lebanon. John Alden joined the Mayflower when she touched at one of the ports of the south coast of England, while on her voyage from Holland to New England. Among his fellow passengers on the famous ship were William Molines or Mullins, who with his wife died at Plymouth in Feb. 1621, and their daughter Priscilla. "Tradition represents Priscilla to have been very beautiful in her youth, and John also was a comely person, and * * * it is not surprising that when he was sent by Capt. Standish, after the death of his wife, to solicit her hand in marriage, she preferred the messenger to the message." Longfellow tells the story in his "Court- ship of Myles Standish :"
" Archly the maiden smiled, and, with eyes overrunning with laughter, Said, in a tremulous voice, ' Why don't you speak for yourself, John?'"
The farm in Duxbury (near Plymouth) on which they resided is still in possession of their descendants, " having never been alienated." John Al- den was born . 1599 : died Duxbury Sept. 12, 1687 : married about 1621, Priscilla Molines. Eleven children were born, of whom eight survived their parents. Their second son
Joseph2 Alden was a farmer of Bridgewater [Plymouth Co.] Mass., born 1624 ; died Feb. 8, 1697. He received his farm in what is now known as West Bridgewater from his father, who was one of the grantees of the town. He married Mary, daughter of Moses Simmons junior. His son, Deacon
Joseph8 Alden, born - 1667, a farmer of Bridgewater, lived in what is now South Bridgewater ; died Dec. 22, 1747 ; married - 1690, Hannah, daughter of Daniel Dunham of Plymouth, Mass. They had ten children, seven sons ; the eldest child was
Daniel4 Alden, born Bridgewater, Mass., Jan. 29, 1691; died Stafford [Tolland Co.] Conn., May 3, 1767. He was a magistrate. He married - 1717, Abigail, daughter of Joseph Shaw. She was sister of the Rev. John Shaw who was grandfather of Hon. Lemuel Shaw, who was for many years Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. They had eleven children, five sons ; the second son, second child, was
Deacon Daniel5 Alden, of Stafford, Conn., Cornish and Lebanon, N. H. A farmer, born Bridgewater, Mass., Sept. 5, 1720: d. Lebanon [Grafton Co.], N. H., May 18, 1790. He first settled in Bridgewater, whence he soon removed to Stafford ; was a deacon in the church, a magistrate, much engaged in public business, often in the legislature and universally respected. About 1782, he sold his farm in Conn. and removed to Cornish [Sullivan
5
Co.], N. H., where he resided eight years, when becoming infirm, he went to live with his eldest son at Lebanon. He married - 1747, Jane, daughter of Seth Turner of Weymouth [Norfolk Co. ], Mass., a descendant of Humphrey Turner of Scituate, Mass. She was born March 30, 1725, died Lebanon May 6, 1817.
Mr. Samuel Bailey, died June 2, 1798, aged 75 years.
In memory of Mr. John Baldwin, who died Dec. 7, 1777, in his 72ª year. Mr. Baldwin and 13 of his family died in 3 years.
In memory of Mrs. Lucy, wife of Mr. John Baldwin, who died Jan. 2, 1777 in her 62ª year.
It is probably one of this large family that lies in close proximity to those whose records are the last given. Only this could be read on the headstone : Mr. Jolın - died Sept. 29, 1776 aged 41.
George Edward Barrows-1853-1872. [See Gould.]
An ancient headstone, part of which was illegible, yielded this record : Mary wife of Bliss died Jan. 28, 1793 in 79th ye
The headstone of the next grave could not be deciphered, but the foot- stone showed the name
Azariah Bliss .- The Bliss genealogy supplies the record that time has effaced and gives a line of four generations of progenitors of the name.
" Jonathan Bliss, son of Thomas of Belstone, England, was born in that village about the year 1575 or 1580. He died 1735-6. It is not known who he married or when, but he had several children born to him."
Thomas1 Bliss of Belstone parish, Devonshire, England, of Braintree [Norfolk Co.], Mass., and of Hartford, Conn., was a brother of this Jona- than and a son of the above-named Thomas. He was born about the year 1580 or 1585. He married in England about 1612-1615 Margaret - and had ten children, of whom six were born before the family came to New England *
* * in the autumn of 1635. He died Hartford, Conn .- 1640. His youngest child was
John2 Bliss of Longmeadow [Hampden Co.], Mass., born Hartford, about 1640 : died Longmeadow Sept. 10, 1702. Married Springfield, Mass., Oct. 7, 1767, Patience, daughter of Henry Burt. Seven children, the eld- est was
John3 Bliss of Enfield [Hartford Co. ], and Lebanon [New London Co.], Conn .; born Sept. 7, 1669 ; married Jan. 11, 1693, Anna, daughter of Samuel Terry of Springfield, Mass. His second wife was named Hannah Seven children, four sons ; the youngest child was
Azariah4 Bliss of Lebanon, Conn., and Lebanon [Grafton Co.], N. H. Born Lebanon, Conn., April 7, 1714 : died Lebanon, N. H., - 1793 : married April 29, 1736, Mary Tilden. The Porter genealogy gives her pedigree. Nathaniel1 Tilden born Tenterden, Kent Co., England, came to New England with his wife Lydia Bourne in 1635 and settled in Scituate [Plymouth Co.], Mass. Their son Stephen2 Tilden, born 1637, married Jan. 15, 1662 Hannah, daughter of Thomas Little, who, April 19, 1633, married Anne, daughter of Richard Warren, who came to Plymouth in the Mayflower in 1620. Their son
Stephen3 Tilden, born 1664, married -, and had daughter " Mary Tilden, who married Azariah Bliss." Anne (Warren) Little, with her mother and four sisters came to Plymouth in the ship Ann in 1623.

In memory of Mrs. Sarah, wife of David Bliss who died Dec. 13, 1774, in her 34th year.
In memory of Mrs. Lucy ye 2ª wife of Mr. David Bliss who died April 16, 1778 in her [age illegible].
David5 Bliss was the eldest of the nine children. Of his wife Lucy, the compiler has found no record. He was born Lebanon Feb. 21, 1737. He was a farmer in the Lebanon of Conn. and of N. H. After the death of his second wife he removed to Hartford [Windsor Co.], Vt., where he probably died. He married May 10, 1761, Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Skinner) Porter. The genealogy of that name shows that the pa- rents of this daughter were married in 1736 and had nine children, Sarah (Porter) Bliss being the second child, born June 28, 1740, of the fifth gen- eration from the English emigrant John Porter, who was of Dorchester (since 1870 a part of the city of Boston), Mass., in 1630, and who, in Oc- tober 1635 removed to Connecticut and died in Windsor in that province April 22, 1648. " She was the mother of five, perhaps six children; " the three elder ones were
Phebe, b. - , 1762, married, March 28, 1787, Nathan Durkee of Leb- anon, N. H.
Sarah, b. - , 1763, married, Dec. 2, 1784, Andrew Tracy of Hartford, Vt. Mary, b. - , 1765, married, Apr. 1, 1784, David Blodgett of Chelsea, Vt.
Azariah Bliss, died Sept. 28, 1814, in 76th year his age. Clearly a younger brother of David and a son of Azariah and Mary (Tilden) Bliss. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war from Lebanon.
In memory of Bosworth, died 1784 (stone in part illegible).
Louisa, daughter of W. W. and J. M. Gulver (?) died Oct. 20, 1874, Æ 9 mos. 20 days.
Deacon Joseph Dana. The face of this stone was illegible, but its re- verse gave the name.
To the memory of Capt. William Dana who deceased Dec. 11, 1805, in the 70th year of his age. He was one of the first planters in town, was respected in life and at death much lamented by his acquaintances and friends.
Johanna died Feb. 7, 1782, 18 ours old (stone chipped, in part illeg- ible).
In memory of Abigail, dau. of Mr. William and Mrs. Hannah Dana who died March 15, 1808, in the 2ª year of her age.
In memory of Dyer, son of Jedediah and Martha Dana, died May 21, 1834. (Part of the inscription below the surface of the ground.)
In memory of Samnel W., son of Jedediah and Martha Dana, deceased Aug. 15, 1825, aged 6 years.
The compiler was unable to find in the library of the New England His- toric Genealogical Society any work that related to this group of Danas. The unusual name of Dyer which will again occur in these pages as a first or " given " name in connection with the surname of Ilyde, suggests a rela- tionship with that family.
In memory of Mr. Elijah Dewey Jur. Died Dec. 16, 1792, in his 40th year.
In memory of Deacon Nehemiah Estabrook, who died Feb. 10, 1787, in the 72ª year of his age.
In memory of Mrs. Anna Estabrook the virtuous consort of Deacon Es- tabrook who departed this life Jan. 16 [illegible] in her 75th year.

Quoting the Bliss and Estabrook genealogies published respectively in 1881 and 1891, the death year of Anna (Bliss) Estabrook is found to be 1778, and her husband the ancestor of the Lebanon, N. H. Estabrooks is shown to be of the third generation from the English emigrant. "Rev. Joseph1 Estabrook, born about 1640 at Enfield, Middlesex Co., England ; came to this country in 1660. * * * He entered Harvard College, from which he graduated in 1664. Three years afterwards he was ordained as colleague of the Rev. Edward Bulkeley, minister of the church in Con- cord [Middlesex Co.], Mass., and on his death in 1696 became pastor of the church, continuing in that office until his death at the age of 71." From the official records of Concord the compiler takes this item :
" The Reuerand M' Joseph Eastabrook minister of Concord Dyed Sep- tember ye 17 : 1711," and from the history of Watertown, Middlesex Co., Mass., this statement : "Capt. Hugh Mason * *
* one of the very first settlers of Watertown, admitted freeman Mar. 4, 1635, Representative [ten years between 1639 and 1677]. Selectman 29 years, a Lieut. as early as 1649 and made Capt. May 5, 1652. He died Oct. 10, 1678 aged 73. By wife Esther who died May 1, 1692, he had seven children." The third daughter, third child, was "Mary, born Dec. 18, 1640: married May 20, 1668, Rev. Joseph Estabrook of Concord." Of this marriage there were six children ; three sons, the third son, the fourth child, was
Rev. Samuel2 Estabrook, born Concord, Mass., June 7, 1674; died Can- terbury, Windham Co., Conn., June 23, 1727 : married Mar. 23, 1714, Re- becca, daughter of Rev. Nehemiah and Sarah (Jackson) Hobart of Newton, Middlesex Co., Mass., granddaughter of Rev. Peter Hobart [first minister of the first church of Hingham, Plymouth Co., Mass., born Hingham, Nor- folk Co., England, and baptized there Oct. 13, 1604.] She died Canter- bury, Conn., Dec. - , 1727. The genealogy of the name has record of but three children, of whom one was :
Nehemiah8 Estabrook, born Canterbury, Windham Co., Conn., Apr. 1, 1715, resided at Mansfield, Tolland Co., Conn., where in Aug. 1735 he united with the Congregational church. About 1768 he went to Lebanon, Grafton Co., N. H., where he died Feb. 10, 1787.

H., Jan. 16, 1778. She was cousin of the Azariah Bliss who died in Lebanon, N. H., in 1793, his father John being the eldest, as her father Ebenezer was the youngest son of John Bliss and Patience Burt of Longmeadow. The gen- ealogy of that name shows that she was the oldest of eight children. The record reads "Joanna, born Dec. 10, 1723, married September 23, 1773, Deacon Nehemiah Estabrook of Lebanon, N. H."
