FAMILY HISTORIES.

to JAMES WILSON of Sullivan, a son of Daniel Wilson. See 64. On the following day, Mr. Wilson bonded himself to maintain Mr. and Mrs. Rowe through their lives. In 1803 Mr. James Wilson built the house which stood at 70, and married and moved there. Mr. Rowe had already bought the farm at 65, several years before. See 65. In the deed to Mr. Wilson, he describes this place at 68, as " the place on which I now dwell ". He probably moved to 65 soon after the sale of 68 to Wilson. For the subsequent history of this farm see 70. The first two Sullivan town meetings were held in the house that stood at 68. Miss Patty Leland informed us that Josiah Coolidge lived here about 1802-03.

69. Site of the barn belonging to the house mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In this barn was held the first public religious service in Sullivan. For a full account of that service see page 383. This service was on the second Sunday in June, 1788. Other services were held there until the completion of the first meetinghouse. See 66.

70. This was the second house upon the Rowe farm, now the town farm. JAMES WILSON built the house which stood here about 1803. He afterwards moved to New Keene, N. Y. He lost his life in the battle of Plattsburg. See page 511. Two months to a day after the death of James Rowe, his widow, ESTHER ROWE, on Dec. 10, 1805, bought back this farm of Mr. Wilson and spent the rest of her days here, except while living for a short time in Fitzwil- liam, with her second husband, Caleb Winch, Sr. She married Mr. Winch, Aug. 26, 1807. After she went to Fitzwilliam, she rented this farm. Jesse Morse, Sr., of Natick, Mass., whose wife was a sister of Mrs. Jeremiah Leland and Mrs. John Mason, was here in the year that Mrs. Rowe was married to Mr. Winch. He had probably moved to the place after the departure of the Wilsons in 1806. He was here about two years, living in the house at 70, and carrying on the farm for Mrs. Rowe (later Mrs. Winch). In 1808, William Winch, from that part of Fitzwilliam which is now Troy, came here and lived several years, rent- ing the farm of Mrs. Winch, whose husband, Caleb Winch, Sr., was William's father. William remained here about two years and was succeeded by his brother, JOHN WINCH, who remained in town the rest of his life. After the death of Caleb Winch, Sr., in 1826, who died in that part of Fitzwilliam which is now Troy, his widow, always called by the neighbors " Grandmother Rowe ", returned to this house and lived in it until her death, July 4, 1833. She willed this farm to the town for the maintenance of the poor, but subject to the use of it, during their lives, by Mr. and Mrs. John Winch. The latter couple spent their last years with their son, Thomas Winch. Mr. Winch died where J. A. Reed lives, at 107. Mrs. Winch removed with her son to Langdon and died in that town. Rev. Sem Pierce, while pastor of the Baptist Church in Sullivan, lived at 70, from about 1841 to 1845. Miss Lydia Clark lived here a few years, before and after 1850. The house stood idle for many years after it came into full possession of the town and was long since removed. The deed, giving the town a quitclaim to this farm, was signed, May 21, 1859, by Mrs. Lucy Winch (widow of John Winch) and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Winch. Thomas Winch, Jan. 20, 1844, had taken over the parental rights in this farm to maintain the parents. Since the town acquired the property, the farm has not been inhabited.

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN.

For the transfer by the Winches to the town see page 143. For a list of the town farm agents, see page 195. See also CARE OF THE POOR in the chapter on INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY. The town has derived a small income from this farm, by renting the pastures and selling wood. Formerly, also, the sugar orchard was occasionally rented. The Morses were relatives of Miss Patty Le- land, who informed us that Jesse Morse, Jr., lived here for a time. We do not know the exact time.

71. The site of the Calvin Locke house, later the C. P. Locke house. The Locke farm, one of the largest in town, was purchased in two pieces, to which subsequent additions were made. The southern portion of the " gore ", between the east line of the ninth range and the Patent Line, was purchased of Rev. Clement Sumner of Keene, a Gilsum proprietor, by JAMES LOCKE, JR., of Town- send, Mass., Apr. 7, 1780. He did not move to this land at once. He was still living in Townsend, July. 26, 1783, when he purchased lot 1, range 16, of the Stoddard land of Levi Wilder and his wife, Sarah (Stoddard) Wilder. The lat- ter inherited the lot from her father, Col. Sampson Stoddard, an original pro- prietor of a large part of the town of that name. Only the part of this lot which was west of the Spaulding Brook was retained by the Lockes. It appears that the taxes were not regularly paid upon this lot, and the town of Stoddard, to which at that time it belonged, sold it for non-payment of taxes. The part west of the Spaulding Brook was repurchased of Ephraim Adams, the Stoddard collector, by James Locke, Jr., Sept. 1, 1788. This date was after the incorpora- tion of Sullivan, but the sale was for the taxes due while the lot belonged to Stoddard. The James Locke who made the first purchases was most likely James Locke, Jr., although the "Junior" is omitted, in the deeds, from the name of the grantee. There is no record of any sale of this place by James Locke, Sr., to James Locke, Jr., but, on the death of the latter, the elder James Locke became his administrator and, on Feb. 25, 1792, sold this farm, at auction, to CALVIN LOCKE, brother of James, Jr., and deeded the same to Calvin, Apr. 16, 1793. James Locke, Jr., had died at Thetford, Vt., in consequence of an injury received by a millstone falling upon him. This farm was in the posses- sion of Calvin Locke until his death, who had owned it a few months more than fifty years. Mr. Locke built the two-story house which stood upon this site and replaced a smaller one which had stood there before it. Mrs. Cyntha (Locke) Gerould, wife of Rev. Moses Gerould, related to the writer a little incident con- nected with the raising of that mansion. In those days liquors were invariably served to all guests at a raising, as they were at all other functions. Such " hos- pitality " was the custom of the time. The boys, on such an occasion, enjoyed the joke of " drinking dry " the host, that is of exhausting his supply of cordials and asking for more, to embarrass him because of his inability to produce more at the moment. Such a joke had been played upon Dea. Seward, at the raising of his mansion in 1797, and Mr. Locke had heard it whispered about that the boys were " going to serve him as they did the deacon". He, therefore, pur- posely concealed a cask of the desired beverage in a secure place. At first, he refused to gratify their morbid appetites. As the time drew near that they must go home to do their chores, after declaring that they had drunk " old Locke" dry, the latter maintained his reputation for hospitality by producing

FAMILY HISTORIES.

the concealed new rum and they were obliged to leave without consuming it. This anecdote is introduced to illustrate a quaint custom of the olden time, not because there was anything about it that was unlike what happened usually under such circumstances. The Lockes came of a very remarkable and intelli- gent family. The love for learning has characterized nearly all branches of the family. Probably no couple ever living in Sullivan became the ancestors of so many college graduates and academically educated persons as Mr. and Mrs. Cal- vin Locke. Among their lineal descendants we find thirteen persons who were graduates of colleges, with the degree of A. B., of which number three received the additional degree of M. D., and another was a graduate of the Harvard Divinity School. Besides the preceding thirteen, there were four physicians among their descendants, three of whom received the degree of M. D. There were also five who received the degree of S. B., one of the latter being also in possession of the degree of S. T. B. Two more were doctors of dental medicine ; another was a doctor of veterinary medicine; another was a graduate, in archi- tecture, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; another graduated, with musical honors, from the New England Conservatory in Boston; another is a graduate nurse. Besides all these, there are thirteen more who were educated at academies, seminaries, and normal schools, and two others, not heretofore mentioned, who graduated at high schools, making in all 43 descendants of Calvin Locke who took collegiate degrees or were academically educated. The fact is so praiseworthy, as well as so remarkable, that we deemed it worth the while to take the space to record it. Surely these descendants should place a suitable tablet upon the old hearthstone at the site of the old mansion. Calvin Locke died very suddenly, at his table, Aug. 12, 1843. His son, CHARLES PINCKNEY LOCKE, succeeded him on the farm. He bought the claims of the other heirs, Oct. 14 and 31, and Dec. 6, in the year 1844. He was a deacon of the First Congregational Church in Sullivan, later of the Congregational Church in Marlborough. His only child, a daughter, died at Mt. Holyoke Seminary, at South Hadley, Mass. Mr. Locke sold this large farm, Nov. 10, 1863, to Osborne and Hale of Keene, who wanted the wood and lumber upon it. Osborne bought the half interest of Hale, in two purchases, Nov. 15, 1864, and Nov. 9, 1871. Asa Fairbanks of Keene bought the same of Osborne, in two purchases, Nov. 9, 1871, and Apr. 2, 1874. George White of Sullivan bought the farm of Mr. Fair- banks, May 28, 1875. It has since remained in the White family and descended to Samuel S. and Winfred J. White. See under 62 and 63. After Mr. C. P. Locke left the farm, a Frenchman named Vicker (so pronounced, we have no present means of determining the true word) lived here in 1864-5, and had a child born here. Joseph O. Beauregard lived here in 1866, and his oldest son was born in the house that stood here. Soon after this the house was removed.

72. The old Frost place, where Seth Nims lived many years. In the drawings of the lots of the original Gilsum, which then included this lot, the east half of the fifth lot in the ninth range was reserved for the first settled minister of Gilsum. This was REV. ELISHA FISH. Capt. Samuel Seward pur- chased this half-lot of Rev. Mr. Fish, Nov. 11, 1794. Capt. Seward sold the same, with other land to go with it, Oct. 1, 1804, to ELIJAH FROST, who came from Marlborough and brought with him a very intelligent family. The latter's

664

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN.

son, BENJAMIN FROST, bought an undivided half of the estate of his father, March 16, 1833. The Frosts were very prominent in Sullivan affairs. Elijah was many times moderator of the town meetings, select-man, and several times a representative to the state legislature. The son, Benjamin, was deacon of the church (Congregational) at the Centre. SETH NIMS, who married a daughter of Elijah Frost, bought the farm of Elijah and Benjamin Frost, Feb. 18, 1837. Mr. Nims lived here thirty-six years. His family was highly esteemed in the community. In 1873, he moved to 94. (See paragraph 94.) On June 13, 1874, Mr. Nims deeded the farm to his children, Mrs. Ellen E. ( Nims ) Rawson and Augustus F. Nims. JOSEPH O. BEAUREGARD bought this place of the persons just named, Apr. 17, 1877. He lived here about two years, but deeded back the farm to Henry C. Rawson and Augustus F. Nims, March 13, 1880. The old farm has since remained in the possession of the latter persons and their heirs. The house has been removed. This house site is a historic spot. Here were born four graduates of colleges, Messrs. Carlton P. Frost, Henry M. Frost, Edwin B. Frost, and Edward B. Nims. Two of these, C. P. Frost, M. D., Dean of the Dartmouth College Medical Department, and E. B. Nims, M. D., Superin- tendent of the Northampton Lunatic Hospital, were eminent physicians of inter- national reputation. The three Frosts were graduates of Dartmouth College and Dr. Nims was a graduate of Williams College. Edwin B. Frost was a physician and lost his life in the army, and Henry M. Frost was a clergyman. The two sons of Dr. C. P. Frost are also remarkably well educated men and both are professors in Dartmouth College, from which they were graduated. Brainard D. Nims, the son of Augustus F. Nims, had also begun a course in the department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, but had to leave in 1906 in consequence of ill health. Thus at least seven descend- ants of Elijah Frost were men who received a college education, and two of these were also descendants of Seth Nims. This house site should be marked with a tablet to commemorate the birthplace of these scholars, several of whom have been eminent men.

73. Site of the Peter Freeman house, where Col. S. White lived, and where Frederick B. Nims lived for many years. This farm was a narrow strip of land along the western sides of the fifth and sixth lots in the ninth range. These lots were drawn by Daniel Dart, with the exception of the eastern half of the lower lot, lot 5, which, as we saw in the preceding paragraph, was set off to the first settled minister of Gilsum, who was Rev. Elisha Fish. THOMAS MORSE, who came here from Keene, but belonged to a Dublin family, and was brother of Reuben Morse, the elder, of Dublin (now Harrisville), whose son Reuben was the first settler of 2, bought this place of the heirs of Daniel Dart, Apr. 5, 1777. Mr. Dart had never lived here. This purchase included the west half of the fifth lot. On Nov. 10, 1782, Mr. Morse purchased of Daniel Dart's heirs the whole of the upper lot, lot six, containing a hundred acres. Mr. Morse lived in a house that stood at 74, not at 73. He was a brother of Mrs. Daniel Wilson, who lived at 64. On leaving this farm, he lived a few years at 65, then moved to Canada. On May 17, 1785, Josiah Willard of Keene purchased this farm of Mr. Morse for his son, LOCKHART WILLARD, who moved to it. Lockhart Wil- lard lived here two or three years. He was the first town treasurer of Sullivan,

665

FAMILY HISTORIES.

elected at the first town meeting, Oct. 29, 1787, at the house of James Rowe, at 68. He shortly after moved to Keene, where he became a lawyer and a very prominent citizen of that municipality. He served for a while in the state senate. He also lived at 74, not at 73. About 1789, HINDS REED of Fitzwil- liam came here and lived at 74. He was a son of Gen. James Reed of Fitzwil- liam and Keene. The latter was one of the generals of the Revolution. Hinds Reed was a brother of Mrs. Lockhart Willard. He was quite interested in the town affairs. The town meetings were held at his house (that is at 74) many times. The first two town meetings were at James Rowe's, at 68, the third (which was a special meeting) and many subsequent meetings were at the house of Hinds Reed, at 74. Dec. 19, 1792, Mr. Reed bought this place of Josiah Willard of Keene, father of Lockhart, the latter having lived upon it without owning it. Hinds Reed lived at 74 about five years. He sold this farm, Oct. 12, 1794, to PETER FREEMAN, a negro, who built the house at 73. Peter had several children born here, but we know little about him. COL. SOLOMON WHITE, an officer of the Revolution, who came from Uxbridge, Mass., bought this place of Peter Freeman, Dec. 10, 1804, the same year that his neighbor, Elijah Frost, bought the farm to the east of this. Col. White brought a large family of children, all daughters but one. The son was Dauphin White, who was considered to have been intellectually the brightest and most intelligent boy of that time in the town. He died young, but he had so impressed himself upon the affections of the people that many infant boys were named for him. It is to be hoped that some of his numerous relatives or of the descendants of namesakes will erect a new headstone at his grave to replace the present stone which is badly broken. The daughters of Col. White became the wives of Philander Nims, Iddo Osgood, Jesse Mason, and Peter D. Buckminster, the last named living in Roxbury. For an account of the painful circumstances leading to the death of the first wife of Col. White, see page 359. On March 22, 1834, FREDERICK B. NIMS, a grandson of Col. White, bought this farm. Col. White married a second time, moved to Roxbury, and died in that town. Mr. F. B. Nims was one of the substantial men of the town. He was a select-man for several years and a man of remarkably good business judgment. His eight children, four sons and four daughters, were all born at 73. The sons were very successful in business. For a fuller account of them see page 620. Mr. George H. Nims of Keene, one of the sons of F. B. Nims, has manifested his love for the old homestead by erecting a fine marble monument on the site of the old house, on which are inscribed the names of the eight children of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick B. Nims, all of whom were born here. In the spring of 1857, F. B. Nims purchased the D. H. Mason property at Sullivan Centre and moved there. See paragraphs 97 and 94. This house was never again occupied. It was much out of repair and was soon removed. F. B. Nims died, July 15, 1871, and his heirs sold the farm to Joseph N. Nims of Sullivan, March 4, 1873, who has used it for a pasture. He had married a daughter of F. B. Nims.

74. The old Morse, Willard, and Reed house. This was the first house built on the farm described in the preceding paragraph. THOMAS MORSE, who bought the land of the Dart heirs, Apr. 5, 1777, built the house. He sold the farm to Josiah Willard of Keene, May 17, 1785, and subsequently, bought the

666

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN.

place at 65, where he lived a few years and then sold all of his Sullivan property and moved to Canada. See paragraph 65. LOCKHART WILLARD lived two or three years upon this farm and in this house. He was a son of Josiah Willard. HINDS REED of Fitzwilliam bought this place of the Willards, Dec. 19, 1792. He also lived in the old house at 74. While living here, Hinds Reed deeded the place to his father and, at a later date, his father deeded it back to him. PETER FREEMAN bought the farm of Mr. Reed, Oct. 12, 1794, and, soon after, built the house at 73. For the remaining history of the farm and for a fuller account of its earlier history see the preceding paragraph. Several town meet- ings were in this house, as we observed in paragraph 73.

75. Site of the first schoolhouse in District No. 2. A supposition long prevailed that the building on this spot was a house erected by S. Griswold and afterwards occupied by Joseph Ellis, and was the first house in what is now Sullivan. This supposition is proved to have been erroneous. The Griswolds and the Ellises never owned the land on which this building stood, as is shown by a careful examination of deeds. Ashley Spaulding informed his son, Henry O. Spaulding, that he went to school in a schoolhouse that stood here. The writer also recalls the fact that his grandmother spoke of attending school here. The first school in the district was in the barn of Mr. Rowe, at 69, where was also the first religious service in town. See page 383. The first schools in town were in the summer of 1788. See page 480. Oct. 11, 1792, the town appro- priated 100/ to build schoolhouses. The first five schoolhouses (which did not include any in what was afterwards District No. I) were probably built in the fall of 1792 and were doubtless ready for the winter terms. One of the five, costing about a hundred dollars, was located here. It was a very rude structure most likely. It served its purpose for about eighteen years. On Jan. 15, 1811, Abel Allen gave the district a deed for the land where the old schoolhouse stood at 98, which was later the armory. The language of the deed implies that the schoolhouse had already been built, probably in the fall of 1810. These dates fix the limits of the service of this first schoolhouse.

76. Site of the old horse sheds in the rear of the second meeting-house. On July 17, 1816, Enoch Woods, who lived at 80, gave a deed of the land on which these sheds stood to the following sixteen men : Samuel Osgood, Josiah Seward, Samuel Seward, Ebenezer Kendall, James Comstock, John Wilson, Cal- vin Locke, Elijah Frost, Messer Cannon, Abel Allen, Ellsworth Hubbard, Eras- tus Hubbard, Jonathan Heaton, John Mason, Joseph Mason, Reuben Morse. They erected that row of very low sheds which stood there within the memory of a large number of living persons. They were so low that a modern covered buggy could not have been taken into one of them without lowering the top. They all disappeared many years ago. The land still remains a part of the old common.

77. Site of the old second meetinghouse. The first building on the spot was the blacksmith shop of Mr. Woods. See 79. Nov. 5, 1806, the town voted to buy land of Enoch Woods for a meetinghouse. June 22, 1807, Mr. Woods gave a deed of the spot to the town. After much municipal contention about the site for the building and other matters connected with its construction, the building was finally completed and dedicated, Dec. 29, 1808. It was last used

667

FAMILY HISTORIES.

for public worship, Dec. 3, 1848, and for a town meeting on May 31, 1851. It had been used forty-two and a half years. See pages 387 to 394 for a very com- plete description of the building.

78. The Sullivan Town Hall. It was built in the summer and autumn of 1851, in pursuance of a vote of the thirty-first of May of that year, in the last town meeting ever held in the old second meetinghouse building. Thomas Spaulding had erected the meetinghouse and his grandson, Dauphin Spaulding, 2d, took it down. The Town Hall was largely built with material from the meetinghouse. It was first used for a town meeting, March 9, 1852. It has served the town since then for town purposes. The timbers, windows, and other material of the meetinghouse were used by Dauphin Spaulding, 2d, in his mill and dwelling. Both buildings were destroyed by fire. See pages 379 and 380, also pages 647 to 649.

79. Site of a blacksmith shop of Enoch Woods. Mr. Woods had bought the place whose house stands at 80, Sept. 3, 1789. He was a blacksmith. His shop stood at first on the land which was afterwards covered by the meeting- house at 77. To make room for that building, he moved it to 79. He used it during his life. He died March 25, 1836. It was not used afterwards and long since disappeared.

80. Formerly the Enoch Woods house, later the residence of Benjamin Kemp, Jr., and now the residence of Charles F. Jewett. This was originally a part of the old Comstock farm. See 106. For the owners to and including William and Mary Corey see also 106. There was no building upon this part of the original farm until ENOCH WOODS purchased it of William and Mary B. (Comstock) Corey, Sept. 3, 1789. Mr. Woods had lived here between 46 and 47 years when his life was ended by a sad tragedy, for the full particulars of which see pages 362 to 364. As is stated there, the sad affair was unquestion- ably the result of mental derangement. Mr. Woods had always been an impor- tant and influential man of the town. His first house on this spot was a small one. About 1808 or 1809, he built the fine two story mansion now standing at 80. He kept a public house. He had a license to sell spirits which was granted, Mar. 14, 1809; also a license as innkeeper, dated Oct. 16, 1810. He continued to keep a public house for many years, until near the time of the tragedy, at which time his farm was rented to GEORGE BAKER, whose death was the outcome of the sad affair. Oct. 21, 1835, shortly after the tragedy occurred, Mr. Woods sold the farm to his sons-in-law, Benjamin Kemp and Rufus Mason. On Nov. 19, 1835, Messrs. Kemp and Mason deeded back to Mr. Woods a small piece of land, adjoining the highway, in the north-west corner of the lawn north of the mansion. Mr. Woods designed this for a family burial lot. His own body was buried there, and his headstone was a conspicious object for many years as one passed the place. In accordance with the wish of his descendants, the body of Mr. Woods was transferred to his lot in the old cemetery at the Four Corners, Nov. 2, 1904. See page 317. After the purchase of this place by Messrs. Kemp and Mason, BENJAMIN KEMP, one of the purchasers, moved here, where he lived more than thirty years. The share of Mr. Mason passed later, by deed, to GEORGE S. KEMP, son of Benjamin. The latter bought this undivided half of his son, Aug. 10, 1844. Mar. 24, 1851, Mr. Kemp sold an

668

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN.

interest in the farm to his son, B. FRANKLIN KEMP, but repurchased it, Mar. 24, 1853. On Apr. 1, 1862, Mr. Kemp sold an interest in the farm to his son, REV. GEORGE S. KEMP, but repurchased it, Nov. 21, 1863. Becoming enfeebled with age, Mr. Kemp, Apr. 24, 1867, sold the farm to Alonso Farrar and John Locke, both of Sullivan, who sold it, Oct. 19, 1867, to GEORGE C. HUBBARD, then of Surry. Benjamin Kemp, who lived here many years, was a quiet, honest man, industrious and respected. His four sons were all educated in professions. Two of them received the degree of M. D., one graduated at the Bangor Theo- logical Seminary with the degree of B. T. S., and another was a dentist. Mr. Kemp removed from town, and died at Orange, Mass., Feb. 19, 1874. Mr. Hub- bard was a native of Sullivan and lived many years at 243. He remained on this place only a few months and sold it, March 28, 1868, to DEA. ASA E. WIL- SON, who had lived many years at 36, then in Marlow, and afterwards at 108. Dea. Wilson lived here eleven years and conducted the farm. For a fuller ac- count of him see paragraph 36. CHARLES F. JEWETT of Nelson bought this farm of Dea. Wilson, Nov. 25, 1879. He still resides here. His family was a welcome accession to the town. They are good citizens, a strength to the church at the Centre, and prominent in social affairs. The sons are all bright young men. It is to be regretted that Sullivan cannot provide the business facilities for retaining within its own limits just such young men. Of course in so small a town opportunities for business are limited. On Jan. 2, 1880, JEWETT MORSE, father-in-law of Mr. Jewett, bought an undivided half of the place of Mr. Jewett. He was a man highly esteemed, a gentleman of the old school, as we say. He had already been living here before his purchase. He was a deacon of the church at the Centre for twenty years preceding his death, Apr. 2, I 900. His wife died near the same time and their bodies were buried at Mun- sonville.
