PROCTOR.
WILLIAM R. PROCTOR, formerly of Lunenburg, Mass., and later of Fitchburg, Mass., owned, for nine years, 1870-79, the David Seward farm, at 139. They never resided in Sullivan, and we do not, therefore, give any genealogical details of their family. They passed a few summers on this farm, sometimes as sole occupants, and sometimes as boarders of those who were living in the house.
PUTNAM.
CHARLES F. PUTNAM, a laborer, who was b. in Malone, N. Y., about 1851 or 1852 ; m. Ada (or Addie) V. Hunt, who was b. in Manchester, N. H., about 1855 or 1856.

Name and date of birth unknown (not born in Sullivan) ; 2. Ada Jennie, b. in Nelson, Dec. 18, 1888; d. in S., at 30, May 4, 1889 ; 3. Flora, b. in Keene, Aug. 5, 1891 ; 4. Name unknown, b. in Jaffrey, Aug. 27, 1895.
QUINBY.
REV. DANIEL QUINBY made an assignment of property to Hemenway and Smith, May 26, 1838. He is thought to have been some person who was preaching to the church of the Christian Connection, which once existed in Gilsum. We have not certainly traced his connection with any family of that name whom we know. It has been said that he lived a time in the old Eaton house at 215, but we can find no satisfactory evidence that such a person lived there, and he was certainly not a legal resident of the town. We have, therefore, not attempted to trace his genealogy.
RAWSON.
I. EDWARD' RAWSON, who came to New England in 1636 or 1637, settled in Newbury, Mass., where he d., Aug. 27, 1693. He was b. in England, April 16, 1615. His mother was Margaret, the sister of Rev. John Wilson, the first preacher of Boston. Margaret's mother was a niece of Rev. Edward

RAWSON.
Grindall, D. D., " the most worthy and renowned Archbishop of Canterbury." Edward1 Rawson held many offices in Newbury and was the state secretary of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay. He did not escape the fanaticism of the time and aided in the persecution of the Quakers. Few New England families were more respectably connected. Edward had twelve children. II. REV. GRINDALL2 RAWSON, youngest of the 12 children of Edward1, I., was b. in Newbury, Mass., Jan. 23, 1659; graduated at Harvard, 1678; studied divinity with his brother-in-law, Rev. Samuel Torrey, and was settled at Mendon, Mass., April 7, 1684. He d. in Mendon, Feb. 6, 1715, in the 35th year of his ministry. According to his monument, he had " entered six days into his 57th year ". If that were so, his birthday would have been Jan. 31, not Jan. 23, as the town record of vital statistics has it. When he received the degree of A. B., President Urian Oakes of Harvard College, addressing him in Latin, spoke eloquently of the "illustrious stock " from which he had sprung, and predicted a brilliant future for him, which was, to a great degree, fulfilled. His mother was Rachel Perne. Like his father, he had twelve ch. III. EDMUND3 RAWSON, 5th ch. of Rev. Grindall2, II., was b. in Mendon, Mass., July 8, 1689.

1. ISAAC RAWSON, son of Nathan4 and Mary (Chase) Rawson, was b. in Uxbridge, Mass., April 23, 1767. Soon after his marriage, he settled in S., at 174. The place was a part of the land originally reserved by the grantors of Gilsum for their first settled minister. Rev. Elisha Fish, therefore, owned it for a time, then sold it to James Kingsbury of Needham, Mass., who lived here a short time, probably in a log house at or near 174. In 1797, Isaac Rawson moved here from Uxbridge, Mass., and, later in the year, took a deed of the place from Mr. Kingsbury. Mr. Rawson d. at 173, Aug. 16, 1850, where he had built a house, upon the same farm, shortly after he settled upon it. He m. (date undetermined), Polly Ward of Sutton, Mass., b. at Shrewsbury, Mass., March 21, 1774; d. in S., at 173, April 20, 1858. It is understood that she and her sister Sarah were twins. They were daughters of Jonas and Sarah (Draper) Ward. Mr. Rawson was a sturdy and hard-working farmer and reared an interesting family of six sons, all of whom were men of influence where they lived. They were: I. Ara Vryling6, b. in Uxbridge, Mass., May 5, 1795, 2; 2. Ira Myrick 6, b. in S., at 174, April 16, 1797, 3; 3. Chauncy Ward6, b. in S., at 173, Aug. 13, 1801, 4; 4.
