OODY GILLINGHAM, for many years an active farmer and promi- nent citizen of Newbury, Merri- mack County, N. H., was born on the old Gil- lingham homestead, January 2, 1811, and died here, October 16, 1882. He was of English ancestry, being a lineal descendant of the em- igrant, James Gillingham, who crossed the Atlantic to seek a new home in the western world over two hundred years ago, and set- tling in Salem, Mass., there married in May, 1692, Rebecca Bly, daughter of John Bly. [See Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary."]
Their son James, second, born in 1696, came to Newbury, N. H., locating on the north side of Todd Pond, where he bought two hun- dred and fifty acres of heavily timbered land, which formed a portion of the Pierce grant. His son James, the third of that name in direct line, succeeded to the ownership of the original homestead, on which he made material improvements, replacing the first rude dwell- ing-house by the present residence, which he
584
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
erected in 1813. He was twice married. His first wife, Polly Little, a native of Sutton, bore him three children - James, Daniel, and Ruth. His second wife, Betsey Lane, of Newbury, became the mother of fourteen chil- dren, one of whom was Moody, the special subject of this sketch.
Moody Gillingham remained beneath the parental roof-tree until his marriage, when he went to Warrensburg, N. Y., there engaging in agricultural pursuits until the death of his father, two years later, recalled him to New- bury. At once taking possession of the home- stead, he resided here until his demise, as above noted. He was very successful in farm- ing, and in business of all kinds, possessing keen perceptions, good judgment, and an excel- lent command of language. He was a clear, ready speaker, rarely worsted in argument, and exerted an influence for good in the commu- nity. He served as Selectman for three years in Newbury. In his religious views he was broad and liberal, inclining to the Univer- salist faith. He married Julia Twiss, daugh- ter of Jeremiah and Marion (Peaslee) Twiss. She was born in Bradford, October 4, 1815, and died June 11, 1869. They had four chil- dren ; namely, Charles H., Albert L., Free- man H., and Clara I. Charles H. Gilling- ham married Elinda, daughter of John and Mary (Marriott) Maud, natives of England. They have six children - Maud C., Annie E., Mary A., Moody, Ralph B., and Julia. Albert L. died in Salina, Kan., October 16, 1892. His wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Rob- ert Robertson, bore him four children: Lena M .; Irvill; Pearl; and Clara I., who is the wife of Jesse P. Colby, of Danvers, Mass.
Freeman H. Gillingham was born on the Gillingham homestead, and there grew to years of maturity, acquiring a thorough knowl- edge of practical agriculture. On October
29, 1877, he married Annie, daughter of Cum- mings and Caroline (Dowlin) Pierce, and im- mediately removed to the Pierce farm in Brad- ford. Two years later Mr. Pierce retired from active labor ; and Mr. Gillingham took a lease of the farm, which he has since managed with eminent success, carrying on general farming with most satisfactory results. He has been prominent in local affairs, having served on the School Committee, and as one of the Se- lectmen of the town in ISSI and again in 1895, when he was Chairman of the Board. In 1896 he was elected to the State legis- lature from Bradford. He is a Republican in politics, but is popular in both parties.
Mr. Gillingham's first wife died February 17, 1893, leaving no children. On May 25, 1895, he married Miss Ida M. Ewins, a daughter of John H. Ewins, who was born and still lives in Warner. Mr. Ewins married Lucetta Pierce, who was born on the Pierce farm, a daughter of Captain Cummings Pierce, and sister of Mr. Gillingham's first wife. She died January 27, 1891, leaving two chil- dren, namely: Marietta, wife of Alpheus B. Huntoon, of Salisbury, N.H. ; and Ida M., now Mrs. Gillingham.
Captain Cummings Pierce was born in Hillsborough, N.H., May 22, 1803, a son of Nathan and Phebe (Cummings) Pierce. He was a first cousin of the late President Pierce. His parents removed from Hillsborough to Bradford in 1821, and bought the Pierce home- stead, now occupied by Freeman H. Gilling- ham. Cummings Pierce succeeded to the ownership of the home farm, and continued the improvement of the land, clearing a large part of it, and soon after his marriage erected the present residence. He belonged for some years to an artillery company in the old State militia, serving as Captain the most of the time. He was strictly honorable and upright,
585
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
and even in temper and disposition. Such a man necessarily holds a high position in any community, and Captain Pierce was no excep- tion. He served in all the town offices, and for many years was Selectman. In 1860 and 1861 he served as a Representative in the State legislature.
In 1833 Captain Pierce married Caroline Dowlin, who died April 14, 1874, leaving two children, namely: Lucetta, who married John H. Ewins, and died January 27, 1891; and Annie, who was the first wife of Freeman H. Gillingham, and died February 17, 1893. Captain Pierce survived his wife and both daughters, passing away November 13, 1893.
LBERT STEVENS,* a farmer of Con- cord, was born at Canterbury, N.H., January 24, 1833, and is a rep- resentative of the third generation of the Stevens family born in this town. His pa- ternal grandfather, whose name, it is believed, was Simeon Stevens, was a farmer and life- long resident of Canterbury. He attained an advanced age, and was the father of six sons and four daughters. Three of the sons - Moses, John, and Thomas - went West, and settled in Princeton, Ill., where they grew prosperous and married. John Stevens had a son who became extremely wealthy, and two of the sons of Simeon Stevens became mem- bers of Congress.
Jesse Stevens, father of Albert, remained in his native town when his brothers went West, and in course of time became one of its leading citizens. Early in life he began to teach, and he followed that occupation for some years. He lived to be sixty-one years old, and at the time of his death had been Selectman of the town for many years. He married Abigail Sherborne, of Epsom; and
they had seven children - Harriet, Mary A .. Sylvester, Caroline, Susan T., Nancy, and Albert. Mary is the wife of Rufus Virgin, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work; Sylvester lives in East Concord; Caro- line, who is the widow of Stephen Clark, re- sides at Littleton, Mass .; Nancy, who lives in Concord, is the wife of Moody S. Farnum; Harriet and Susan are deceased.
Albert Stevens, who was the youngest son of his parents, received his education in the schools of Concord. He then took up farm- ing, and besides he was for some time en- gaged in trade at Tilton, N.H. . He has also done some butchering, and has handled many horses and cattle. At one time he owned a stage line between Northwood and New Market. In 1861 he came to East Concord, and invested in a farm; but, his buildings being burned, he bought the old Carter Tavern of stage-coach fame. Mr. Stevens married Miss Susan E. Goodwin, a daughter of Reuben Goodwin, of East Concord. Mrs. Stevens died in September, 1872, after having borne her husband one son, Jesse G., who married Sarah O'Reagan. Mr. Stevens served as Assessor for seven or eight years, and was a member of the legislature in 1872 and 1873. He votes the Democratic ticket, and cast his first vote for President Buchanan in 1856.
LVA J. DEARBORN,* a prosperous farmer of Canterbury, N. H., was born in this town, October 13, 1851, son of James and Susan (Fellows) Dearborn. James Dearborn, who was a native of Plym- outh, N. H., came to this town when a young man, and carried on farming here the rest of his life. He died in December, 1868. His wife, a native of Canterbury, died April 1, 1882. They had five children : Ella, now the

wife of C. Wesley Carter, of Boscawen; Alva J., the subject of this sketch; Susan E., who died in March, 1895; and twins, one of whom was named Lyman, and both of whom died in infancy. The surviving children received a good education in the grammar school and high school of Canterbury.
Alva Dearborn, though but seventeen years old when his father died, took charge of the farm, and carried it on successfully, caring for his mother the rest of her life. He has greatly improved the property, and the farm now contains about three hundred acres of good land. Besides general farming Mr. Dearborn is engaged in the wood and lumber business, and also carries on an extensive dairy, shipping his milk to Boston. He also makes a specialty of raising fine fruit for the market. In politics he is a Republican. He has served several terms as Selectman, and has held other minor offices. He was married October 10, 1883, to Miss Ada Belle Cochran, of Walpole, N.H., born February 4, 1854, a daughter of Samuel and Relief (Leonard) Cochran. Mr. and Mrs. Dearborn are the parents of four children: Susan Relief, born May 23, 1884; Samuel James, born June 30, 1886; Fred Earl, born October 4, 1888; and Mollie Keturah, born November 7, 1890. Mr. and Mrs. Dearborn are highly esteemed by their numerous acquaintances in Canter- bury and the vicinity.
AMES DODGE, who cultivated a good farm in Pembroke, and owned consider- able real estate in this and other towns, was born in Goffstown, N. H., Novem- ber 14, 1829, son of John G. and Polly (Tal- lant) Dodge. His great-grandfather, Antipas Dodge, who lived to be one hundred and one years old, and died on Independence Day,
was a native of Haverhill, Mass., and an early settler in Goffstown. The first wife of Anti- pas, Margaret Boise Dodge, was the mother of James Dodge, grandfather of the subject of this sketch. The names of his second wife and her children are unknown.
James Dodge, who was a lifelong resident of Goffstown, and spent his active period in tilling the soil, married for his first wife Peggy Gordon, and reared a family of six chil- dren, none of whom are living. One of them was the mother of the famous midget, Com- modore Nutt. James Dodge lived to be eighty-five years old, and his wife died at sixty-nine. John G. Dodge, born in Goffs- town, was brought up to farming. At an early age he displayed a liking for agricult- ural pursuits. Subsequently he became a successful farmer. He was a prominent man of Goffstown in his day, serving as a Justice of the Peace for many years. In politics he supported the Democratic party. His entire life was passed in his native town, and he lived to be seventy-nine years old. His wife, Polly, who was a native of Canterbury, be- came the mother of seven children, of whom there are living : Elizabeth Dodge and John G. Dodge (second). Elizabeth is the wife of William H. Hart, of Goffstown, and has four sons - Horace C., John D., Philip, and Ed- ward. Her surviving brother, John G., who successively married Addie M. Travis and Lucy A. Colby, has no children. Mrs. Polly Dodge died at the age of sixty-nine years.

He did not, however, become a permanent resident of this town until 1867, after which year he devoted his energy to general farming. In addition to his homestead farm of one hun- dred and fifty acres he owned about one hun- dred and twenty-five acres of woodland and pasture in this town, and about four hundred acres in Loudon, N.H.
On March 28, 1859, Mr. Dodge married Betsey Tallant, daughter of John L. and Sarah J. (Bean) Tallant, of Concord. His children are: John T., S. Jennie, and James E. S. Jennie is now the wife of Herbert J. Jones, of Alton, N. H. James E. wedded Mabel Ahmuty, and has three children - Gladys, James Herbert, and Leon T. In pol- itics Mr. Dodge was a stanch Democrat. He had served as Selectman and upon the Board of Education. He was made a Justice of the Peace in 1877, and so continued until his death. He was one of the best known farmers of the locality, and had the respect of the en- tire community.
HANCEY ADAMS, M.D., a success- ful medical practitioner of Concord, was born in North New Portland, Me., March 15, 1861, son of Benjamin and Eliza Briton (Sawyer) Adams. He belongs to a branch of the famous old Massachusetts family of the same name. Henry Adams, the founder of the Massachusetts family, was an English emigrant, who came over to this country in the year 1630, with his eight sons, and settled in Braintree, in the Col- ony of Massachusetts. Of these eight sons, one subsequently returned to England. The names of the others, according to the records of Massachusetts, were: Peter, Henry, Thomas, Edward, Jonathan, Samuel, and Jo- seph. Samuel was the father of two sons,
one of whom was Joseph Adams, who lived in North Chelmsford, Mass. Joseph was the father of Benjamin Adams, who was the fa- ther of William Adams, who was the father of Solomon Adams, who was the great-grand- father of Dr. Adams. Solomon Adams mi- grated from North Chelmsford, Mass., his native town, to Farmington, Me., at the close of the Revolutionary War. The record shows that he had served his country during that war from May 15, 1777, to May 15, 1780, in Cap- tain James Varnum's company, of Colonel Michael Jackson's regiment; but his active military service actually extended beyond these dates. William Adams, son of Solomon and grandfather of Dr. Adams, was a native of Farmington, Me. He passed his entire life in that town, engaged in farming, and died June 12, 1862, at the age of seventy-three years. He married Nancy Hiscock, and had a numerous family of children, of whom three died in infancy. The others were born as fol- lows: Thomas H., March 14, 1813; Hannah B., October 19, 1815; William, Jr., August 21, 1817; Nancy K., August 4, 1819; John R., August 17, 1821; Benjamin, April 7, 1823; Samuel, April 11, 1825; Lucy J., October 6, 1829; and Dolly, September 3, 1835. Of these the sole survivor is Benja- min, the father of Dr. Adams. He is a native of Farmington, Me. In early manhood he studied law while teaching school, and was subsequently admitted to the Franklin County bar. He then took up his residence in North New Portland, Me., where he was engaged in the practice of his profession from 1847 to 1870 when he moved to North Anson, Me. He is now seventy-four years old. From 1849 to 1854 he was Postmaster at North New Port- land. He was Register of Probate from 1854 to 1855. In 1873 he was a member of the House of Representatives of the Maine legis-

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
lature. He is a Congregationalist in relig- ious belief. In 1849 he married Eliza Briton Sawyer, daughter of Ephraim and Elizabeth (Williams) Sawyer. Lemuel Williams, the grandfather of Mrs. Eliza Adams, was a na- tive of Woolwich, Mass., now in Maine. Having enlisted in Colonel Nixon's regiment, he served during a part of the Revolutionary War. The children of Benjamin Adams were Sarah Frances, Ellen Maria, and Chancey. Sarah Frances, who married John P. Clark, a , lumberman of Skowhegan, Me., has had six chil- dren, of whom five are living. Ellen Maria died at the age of two and one-half years.
Chancey Adams was educated in the district schools of North Anson, Me., and at Anson Academy, graduating from the latter institu- tion in the class of 1880. For six months after his graduation he was employed in the drug store at North Anson. Then, feeling the need of additional education, he entered Waterville Classical Institute (now Coburn Classical Institute, Waterville, Me.), and graduated from the same in 1881. In the autumn he became a student of Colby Univer- sity in Waterville, and, after completing the course, graduated in 1885. After this he taught for several terms in the district schools of Waldoboro and Embden and in the Phillips High School. Having decided to enter the medical profession, he attended the Portland Medical School and the Maine Medical School in Brunswick during the years 1888, 1890, and 1891, graduating (from the latter institution) in June of the last-named year. From 1886 to 1891 he employed all his spare time in a drug store in the interests of his intended profession. After graduating from the Maine Medical School, he entered the United States Marine Hospital at Staten Island. Thence he went to Taunton, Mass., as assist- ant physician in the insane asylum of that
city, where he remained until January 1, 1893. Desiring to qualify himself still further for the medical profession, he then went to New York City, and took a three months' course in the Post-graduate Medical School and Hospi- tal. After this, on September 26, 1893, he opened an office in Concord, where he has since been in active practice. Dr. Adams already occupies a front place in his chosen calling, and his ability and skill are acknowl - edged by his medical associates. He has been elected a member of the North Bristol (Mass.) Medical Society, which made him a member of the Massachusetts State Medical Society. He also belongs to the Centre District Medi- cal Society of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire State Medical Society. On Janu- ary 25, 1897, he was elected City Physician of Concord for two years.
On January 9, 1893, Dr. Adams married Laurinda Clara Coombs, of Gloucester, Mass. They have had two children: Benjamin W., who died in infancy; and Edmund Chancey. In politics the Doctor is a Democrat, and he cast his first Presidential vote for Grover Cleveland in 1884. He is a member of Blaz- ing Star Lodge, No. 11, of Free and Accepted Masons, of Concord; and of Concord Lodge, No. 8, K. of P., of Concord. Amply qualified by the services rendered to their country by his ancestry on both sides, Dr. Adams is also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution.
SCAR F. RICHARDSON,* a well- known citizen of Concord, was born at Southbridge, Vt., January 2, 1835, son of Hazen and Zilby (Whitcomb) Richard- son. Hazen Richardson was a native of the State of New Hampshire, and was a carpenter by trade. He removed to Whitehall, N. Y., quite early in life, and passed most of his

days in that town, dying there in 1860, at the age of about seventy years. He and his wife, Zilby Whitcomb Richardson, had eight chil- dren ; namely, Delilah, Dequesna, Lillian, Cornelia, Oscar F., Henrietta, Jeffers O., and Alice, of whom Delilah, Dequesna, Lillian, Jeffers O., and Alice are now deceased.
Oscar F. Richardson, after being educated in the district schools of Stockbridge, Vt., first found employment in the woollen-mills of that town, where he continued for the next five years. He then went to Massachusetts, where he remained for about two years. At the end of that time he came to Concord, to take charge of the finishing-rooms in the mills of Messrs. B. F. & D. Holden, which have since been incorporated as the Concord Manu- facturing Company; and he remained in their employ some seven years. He was subse- quently appointed a station agent for the C. & C. Railroad, which position he held for more than six years. He was then employed at the
Concord Water Works at West Concord, and was also appointed superintendent of Pena- cook Park. He was also connected with the police force of the city of Concord for ten years. At the present time he is engaged in the milk business, maintaining a fine herd of sixteen cows. Although anxious to take up arms in the defence of his country upon the breaking out of the Civil War, his strong filial devotion to his mother, who required his presence' and support, withheld him, and led him to sacrifice his personal inclinations to his duty as a son. In 1871 Mr. Richardson married Miss Nealy Clough, and they are the parents of three children: Susan, who is the wife of Charles Allison, of Concord; Henry M .; and Alice M. Mr. Richardson is a Re- publican in his politics, and cast his first Presidential vote for John C. Fremont in 1856. He enjoys the respect and confidence of his fellow-townsmen, by whom he is re- garded as an upright and useful citizen.
