latter settling in Concord, same province. In addi- tion to the two sons who accompanied them from the mother country they had eight children born on this side of the ocean.
(II) Robert, second son and child of John and Elizabeth Baker, was born in England, in 1720, and consequently arrived in New England during his in- fancy. He was reared in Charlestown and Concord, from which latter place he went to Marlboro, Mass- achusetts, and about the year 1775 removed to West- minster, probably residing there with one of his sons. The christian name of his first wife was Lydia, and she died leaving one child. For his second wife he married Elizabeth Adams, daughter of Dr. George and Judith Adams, of Lexington, and a sister of Daniel Adams, of Westminster. His children were : Patience, Elizabeth, Jonas, John, George and Na- than.
(III) George, third son and fifth child of Robert and Elizabeth (Adams) Baker, was born either in Concord or Marlboro. About 1775 he settled in Westminster, locating in that part of the town which, ten years later, was included within the limits of Gardner. Ile married Mary Pratt, of Framingham, who, according to the record at hand, "seems to have died soon," and his second wife was before marriage Dinah Parmenter, daughter of Joshua and "Perces" Parmenter, also of Framingham. She was a descendant in the eighth generation of John Par- menter, one of the first settlers in Sudbury, Massa- chusetts, through : (II) John, (IV) Amos, (V) Phineas, (VI) Amos, (VII) Joshua. She became the mother of six children, namely : Artemas, Perces, George, Nancy, Dinah and Amos.
(IV) Amos, youngest son and child of George and Dinah (Parmenter ) Baker, was born in Gard- ner, July 23, 1794. When a young man he engaged in the lumber business at Bethlehem, New Hamp- shire, whence he removed to Whitefield, this state, and was similarly occupied some four years. The remainder of his active life was devoted to farming, and his death occurred August 22, 1870. For a period of forty years he was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He married (first), Mary , of Bethlehem, and had three children : George P., of Whitefield, aged eighty-eight in 1907; James Isaac and Delia C. For his second wife he married Phebe Guernsey, of Whitefield.

His wife died March 10, 1889.
(V) William Gardner, youngest son and child of Amos and Christina (Bray) Baker, was born in Whitefield, July 15, 1853. Having concluded his attendance at the Whitefield high school, at the age of seventeen he took a position as a store clerk, and two years later engaged in business for himself. In 1875 he settled in Lancaster and conducted the store which is now occupied by the postoffice until 1881, when he disposed of the business and purchased a farm. In connection with agriculture he deals in real estate, cuts and hauls timber for manufacture, and operates a stone-crusher, which supplies the material for macadamizing the principal highways. In 1902 he purchased an interest in a granite shop, which was carried on under the firm name of Hartley, Baker & Cummings until Mr. Timothy T. Baker acquired Mr. Hartley's interest, since which time the firm has been known as Baker, Cummings & Baker. This concern is now carrying on quite an
extensive business, handling granite and marble of an excellent quality. His fraternal affiliations are with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In his religious belief he is a Methodist, and he is offici- ally connected with that church.
Mr. Baker married for his first wife Ella M. Mc- Intire, daughter of James McIntire, and she bore him one son, Fred W. His present wife was before marriage Alice C. Cummings, daughter of George IV. Cummings, born in Northumberland, but reared in Lancaster. The children of this union are: Carrie Ella and Amy Bray. Fred W. was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1903, where he was a mem- ber of Chi Phi fraternity; he is now a student at the Harvard Law School, and is already one of the honored men of his class. Carrie Ella, who was valedictorian of her class at the Lancaster Academy, is a graduate of Boston University ; she was presi- dent of the Society of Gamma Delta and was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. She is now teaching school in New Jersey. Amy Bray, who is a graduate of the Lancaster Academy, was also valedictorian of her class; she is now a student at Boston University.
This old New England name has been
IIOVEY prominent in many ' sections of the United States, and was especially active in the settlement and development of the colony of Massachusetts. It has been identified with New llampshire from an early period, and is still con- nected with various worthy lines of endeavor in this state.

(III) Luke, second son of John and Dorcas (Ivory) Hovey, was born in Topsfield, May 3, 1676, and died in Boxford, October 31, 1751, aged seventy-five years. He moved to Boxford after the birth of his first child, and built the Hovey house, which was taken down by a descendant in the latter part of the nineteenth century. It was situated on the Bradford road, about a quarter of a mile north of the Second Church. The site chosen for his- residence was on the southerly slope of a hill at the base of which was a stretch of meadow and pond. He was a prominent citizen in both the religious- and the secular affairs of the town, and was a mem- ber of the board of selectmen in 1708-09-19-36-43- 48. Until September 25. 1702, the Boxford people continued to belong to the Topsfield' Church. O13 this day the church convened "to consider the ap- plication of sundry persons belonging to Boxford, who had asked their dismissal from the church preparatory to being organized into a church in their own town" Upon this application the church voted to dismiss the Boxford people when they should have paid up all arrears. The result was that on the 4th of the following month Luke Hovey and others were dismissed and formed the proposed new church. In June, 1735, various inhabitants of Box- ford petitioned to be set off into a second precinct. In the same month the petition was granted, and in the house of representatives, Wednesday, July 2. 1735, it was ordered "that Mr. Luke Hovey, one of the principal inhabitants of the new precinct, be authorized and empowered to assemble the free- holders and other qualified voters, as soon as may be- in some convenient place. to make choice of principal officers to stand till the anniversary meeting, March next." Luke Hovey and other members of the Hovey family were among the earliest members of the church which was incorporated in this precinct.
Luke Hovey married, October 23, 1698, Susana Pillsbury, who was born February. I. 1677, and died December 22, 1767. aged ninety years, ten months and twenty-one days.

(VI) William, son of Solomon and Jerusha (Wyman) Hovey, was born December 27, 1785. in Lunenburg, and died in Cambridge, February 10. 1852, aged sixty-seven.

He married Sally Howe, who was born September 24, 1793, in Northboro, and died in Cambridge, December 15, 1874, aged eighty-one years.
(VII ) Charles, son of William and Sally ( Howe) Hovey, was born in Acton, November 17, 1817, and died in Lowell, May 4, 1886, aged sixty-nine. He was one of the carly settlers and business men of

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
the city of Lowell, and for half a century the firm of Carlton & Hovey, druggists, of which he was the junior partner, was a leading concern in Lowell and did a large business with the Sandwich Islands. Mr. Hovey was prominent as a business man, and equally so in church affairs. For forty years he was treasurer of St. Ann's Church ( Episcopal) and one of its most trusted advisors and liberal supporters. He married Katherine Smith, who was born in Dover, New Hampshire, September 15, 1824, daughter of Joseph and Mary ( Emerson) Smith, of Dover. The children of this union were: Henry E., Kate S., Alice C., Charles W. and William C.
(VIII) Rev. Henry Emerson, eldest child of Charles and Katherine ( Smith) Hovey, was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, November 23, 1844. After leaving the public schools of his native city he passed through Trinity College, Hartford, Connec- ticut, graduating with the class of 1866. From this he went to New York City where he matriculated in the General Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1869, and in the same year was ordained deacon in St. Ann's Church, Lowell. The following year he was ordained priest of the Church of the Holy Trinity of Brooklyn, New York. In 1869-71 he was rector of St. John's Church, New York harbor; 1871-73 rector of the Church of the Ascension, Fall River, Massachusetts; 1873-83, rec- tor of St. Barnsby's Church, Brooklyn, New York; and from 1883 to the present time ( 1907) rector of St. John's Church, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. For thirty-seven years Mr. Hovey has sustained the rectorate of various churches, and by his devotion to the work of his calling and the persistent and effectual exercise of his natural gifts as a preacher of the word and a church worker, he has attained a place of much influence not only among the members of his own church and faith, but among the members of other churches and among those who are mem- bers of no church. He has always been among the foremost to comfort the sick and relieve the dis- tressed, and by reason of these things he has been made president of the Cottage Hospital, and presi- dent of the Chase Home for Children, which he has served faithfully and still holds. He is a mem- ber of the Sons of the Revolution, having a right to his honor as a descendant of Captain Nehemiah Emerson of the Tenth Massachusetts Regiment, who took part in the great struggle for freedom. He was made a Mason in 1879.
He was married in St. George's Church, New York City, to his distant cousin, Sarah Louise Fol- som, daughter of Charles J. and Sarah ( Downing) Folsom. They have six children : Sarah W., Catherine E., Ethel W., Louise F., Ethel D. and Charles E.
The American family of Clement is CLEMENT traced back to the immigrant an- cestor Robert, who being a wealthy man, came to these shores in his own ship to lps- wich, Massachusetts in 1638. The social position of the family in the old country is indicated by the fact that one of the judges of Charles the First was Gregory Clement, and the wife of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, was a Clement. Job Clement, the oldest son of Robert, was the first of the family to settle in New England, and it was probably on his recommendation that the father and mother and their family followed him. Their finan- cial condition had enabled them to live in comfort and enjoy luxuries in the old country ; but in Amer- ica, to which they had come, no doubt that they might enjoy religious freedom and worship God 1-9
according to the dictates of conscience, they found a vast wilderness in a state of nature, inhabited by savage beasts and more savage men. They must have shared with the hardships and privations of the pioneers of their time and locality. They lived in a log house, hastily and rudely constructed, the interstices filled with mud and utterly insufficient against the rude blasts of winter, and though they must have been hourly reminded of the absence of the comforts they left behind in their native home, they never thought of giving up what they had found here for what they had left there. They were hardy and energetic leaders of men and in Newbury they engaged in tanning and in the town of Haverhill, where they were pioneers, they were the first to construct and operate that very essential thing in a new country, a grist mill. The first of the immi- grant Clements was the first representative of Haverhill in the general court in 1645 and held that office several consecutive years. The Clements of succeeding generations have inherited the good quali- ties of their forbears, and have maintained excellent reputations for good judgment, good morals and patriotic faithful citizenship and a personal and family pride which has kept them afront of the times in thought and action. Clement signifies mild, and the name seems generally to express the character of this family whose ways are peace and industry.
(1) Robert Clement, from whom many of the Clements of this country trace their descent, was born in England in the year 1590. He lived in Coventry, Warwickshire, England, and came to this country in 1642, landing in Salisbury, Massa- chusetts. He went to Haverhill, Massachusetts, with his wife and four of his children, his daughter Mary, the youngest child, remaining in England until 1652. Robert settled near the mouth of Mill Brook, Haverhill, Massachusetts, and built the first grist mill in the town. He was prominent and in- fluential in the colony, and was one of the five to take the deed of the town from the Passagut and Saggahew Indians, in 1642. He was the first repre- sentative of the town to the general court, in 1645, and held the office nine consecutive years, be- ing then succeeded by his son John. He was county commissioner and associate judge, appointed and empowered by the general court to administer the oath of fidelity to the inhabitants of Haverhill ; appointed to set off the public lands, designate their limits, etc. He was a man of great force of char- acter and energy, combined with executive ability; as is proven by the offices he held. He presented a petition to the general court, from the inhabitants of Haverhill, for the grant of an island lying in the Merrimack. This petition was granted, and the land is still called Clement's Island. He died on the ground where he had first settled, September 29, 1058, at the age of sixty-eight years. His estate amounted to about five hundred and fifty pounds. He married in England, but the place at which his marriage occurred and the name of his wife cannot be traced. His children were : Job,
Jolin. Lydia, Robert, Sarah and Mary.
(11) Robert (2), third son and fourth child of Robert (1) Clement, was born in England about 1624, and came to this country with his father in 1042. He was a cooper by trade, and made Hlaver- hill, Massachusetts, his home. His residence was situated where the Exchange Building now ( 1906) stands. Ile was a large land owner, and a man of influence in the community. Ile held several town offices, among them being that of recorder of deeds and all legal papers. At the September court, in 1600, lie asked to be appointed administrator of

(III) Fane, fourth son and fifth child of Robert (2) and Elizabeth (Fane) Clement, was born in Haverhill, March 2, 1662. He was a ship carpenter by trade, and settled in Newburyport, Massachu- setts. He was thrifty and industrious and became a land owner of prominence. He was the .first owner of the Clement farm in West Amesbury, now Merrimack. This le deeded to his son, Jona- than, in March, 1719. There is no record of his death. He married (first), 1688, Sarah Hoyt, of Amesbury, Massachusetts, and their children were: Jonathan, of whom later; Sarah, born 1697; Tim- othy, May 1, 1699; Joseph, April 1, 1701. He mar- ried (second), Mrs. Dorothea Freez, March 7, 1717, and they had one child: Benjamin, born January 7, 1718.
(IV) Jonathan, eldest child of Fane and Sarah (Hoyt) Clement, was born in Newburyport, Massa- chusetts, January 1I, 1696. He was a ship carpenter by trade but later turned his attention to farming and settled in West Amesbury, Massachusetts, about I725, on the tract of land which had been deeded him by his father. On this land he built a large and commodious two-story house which is still in good preservation. This farm is now in the possession of one of liis descendants, and the original deeds are still in existence. Jonathan died on this farm in December, 1761. He married, No- vember 3, 1721, Mary Greenleaf, of Newburyport, who died September 7, 1791. Their children were : Mary, born September 11, 1722; Jacob, of whom later ; Jonathan, January 29, 1725; Prudence, 1727; Sarah, who married a Greeley.
(V) Jacob, second child and eldest son of Jonathan and Mary (Greenleaf) Clement, was born on the Clement farm in West Amesbury, May 2, 1724. He was a man of considerable note in the community, and was appointed crown constable in 1766. His death occurred on the home farm, where he was living, December 10, 1796. He married Han- nah Chellis, of Danville, New Hampshire, who died, after a lingering illness, November 25, 1796. Their children were: Stephen, born February 12, 1751; John, of whom later; Moses, March 22, 1755; Hannah, November 17, 1757; Sally, March 30, 1759; Anna, January 1, 1763; Jacob, July 3, 1765.
(V1) John, second son and child of Jacob and Hannah (Chellis) Clement, was born in West Ames- bury, Massachusetts, March 17, 1753. He removed from Amesbury to Salisbury, New Hampshire, in 2789, was one of the first settlers in that town and was held in high esteem. His household effects were transported by a team of oxen, while his wife rode on a horse. After the revolutionary war, the title of captain was conferred upon him because of militia service, and he was always so addressed. He sold his farm, in 1803, to Samuel Eaton, for twenty-five hundred dollars, removed to Warner, New Hampshire, and purchased a farm there, lo- cated on Tory Hill. During the revolutionary times this farm was the property of a Tory family, hence 'the name. His death occurred April 12, 1827, and was caused by heart disease. His estate was settled in 1828. The farm was sold several times, being finally purchased by John W. Clement, a grandson
